Rose's POV

"What?" I shouted.

Did he just say, my precious Adrian? Really? Where did that come from?

"You heard me! I heard you talking in your sleep."

"I have no idea what you are talking about!"

"Oh Rose, don't play games with me. I heard you and there is nothing that you can say to excuse yourself!"

I didn't know what to say. I know that I didn't love Adrian, sure he's my friend, but I love Dimitri. I would never say such a thing. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I looked up at him and expected that he had already put on his guardian mask and had calmed himself down. But he hadn't.

His face was a bright shade of scarlet and he looked like he was going to, I don't know, explode!

"Dimitri," I said, trying to calm him down. Although inside, I knew that I was trying to reassure myself that he wasn't going to do something that he would later regret.

"Please, Dimitri. We can talk through this; straighten it out."

"No"

What? No? What was he saying?

"What do you mean?"

His nostrils flared.

"I mean that I am done. With you, with all of this."

This?

I was speechless. What was he talking about?

Suddenly, I heard a noise. Someone was opening the door.

A young girl, about 20, walked in holding a tray. This was strange. We hadn't gotten room service before.

I glanced over to her, checking out what was on the tray. Although I should have been concerned about Dimitri, the food looked so appealing. All of a sudden a shadow rose above her from behind.

I looked around, terrified to find that the shadow was infact, Dimitri.

No!

I lunged forward and pushed the girl out of the way, but I was a second too late.

He smashed into her, landing on top of her. I saw him sink his teeth into the girls pale skin.

"Dimitri! Stop it! No!"

I tried to pull him off of her but he wouldn't budge. I could feel him grow stronger as he drained her life away.

"No!" I cried.

He dropped her lifeless body and turned to me.

He was different. His gorgeous tan skin had gone pale and his luxurious brown eyes were surrounded with red rings.

He was Strigoi.

I faltered and stepped back, bumping into a hard wall.

He stepped towards me, sizing me up.

Suddenly, I felt furious. No! He hadn't!

I kicked him in the stomach with all of my energy. His body flew backwards into the opposite wall. I was surprised with myself that I had actually been able to do that.

Taking what I knew would be my only opportunity; I rushed out of the door and turned right. I could remember being dragged here from my last room. When I reached another door, I stopped. There were two turnings. I looked left, it was pitch black. The walls looked hard and cold, and extremely painful to be thrown in to. I looked right and saw that these walls were exactly the same, although there was a dim, flickering light strung from the ceiling. I decided to go right, at least this way I could see more of where I was going.

As I turned, I could hear a door being slammed back. Dimitri was out. And he was after me.

I sprinted forward and fortunately, there was only two more turnings, both of which I turned right. I didn't know why, but it felt right once I had gone past. Eventually, I saw a glimmer of light, not a lamp, but natural light.

I ran towards it, clenching my aching stomach. I was nearly there, and once I was out, I was safe. But something was missing. As I approached my escape, I realised what as my nauseous feeling came over me. I hadn't passed any Strigoi.

I could sense about four by the doorway.

Just as I thought, as I went around a corner, four looming shadows cast over me. I threw myself into the first one, forcing all of my anger and frustration into some very powerful punches. The Strigoi dropped, and I kicked once more just for presentation.

I approached the next one and threw myself at it again. Although I didn't have the element of surprise or as much energy as I had before, my anger pushed me on.

After finishing off the first two, I look around just to find that the other two had fled. Serves them right, I thought. I knew that Dimitri would be close by now; even if I had lost him I'm sure that he would be close by now.

I ran towards the light and jumped into the outdoors. As I leaped, I felt something grab onto my ankle. It wretched me back into the darkness. Damn!

I kicked backwards, hoping to catch them by surprise, giving me just enough time to get out. The kick worked, and I leaped.

As I did, I saw another shadow approach me. But this figure wasn't running towards me, they had stopped and were looking at me deeply, their eyes filled with anger.

"You'll regret this!" I shouted to Dimitri.

"I loved you and you did this to me!"

After having so little food and water, and then this escape, I was so tired. I blacked out.
