The fight went around me while I could do nothing.
I had to dodge some of the fighting, but other than that, I was shouting out to people so they wouldn't get a surprise attack from behind.
Dimitri was running towards me, killing Strigoi as he past. When he came to me, he pulled out his knife in one motion and cut the ropes. I pulled the stick out of the ground and swung it skillfully around the circle that was enclosing on Dimitri and me, full of Strigoi.
"We have to get you out of here!" he said, tugging me towards the edge of the fight. He handed me an extra stake just before we were split apart but three Strigoi.
I ran into the middle of the crowd where Adrian was kicking ass.
I backed up to him as a circle formed around us.
"Hey, how's it going?" I asked casually, not taking my eye of the Strigoi.
"Pfft. You ask that now why?"
I shrugged. "Good point."
The Strigoi moved in towards me, going for the throat by instinct. I struck him in the eyes.
"Something I gotta say," Adrian said.
"Then say it quick."
There was another move in on the both of us, but we took care of it.
"Go with him," Adrian said suddenly.
"Can't we talk about this later?"
"You know as well as anyone there may not be a later."
I breathed out. "Thanks, Adrian. You know I'll always love you. Duck"
He ducked as I swung around with the stake.
We were pushed away again, us both trying to edge over to the side. I was struck in the arm and the leg by anonymous weapons from both Guardians and Strigoi alike. Nowhere was safe for me in this fight. I was me against the entire crowd. I had to move out.
I pushed and struck my way out of the crowd, but it was almost impossible to get out completely. I reached the edge, the breath completely knocked out of me. Ducking behind a tree was my best option, providing there were no Strigoi in the waiting.
Screams, grunts and gasps played in my head. As I looked back on the fight – no – the war, I couldn't help but think that this all happened because of me. This was all my fault. These people were dying because of me.
"Rose!" Dimitri yelled, ducking in and around the attacks that came towards him, of course, none of them were from Guardians. He pulled me into his chest so he could talk into my ear. "Victor ran around the outside of the army. Over there," he pointed to the back of the opposite side.
I looked to him. "I have to stop him."
He nodded. "I know. C'mon."
"Rosemarie!"
Abe ducked behind the tree, all bloodied and bruised.
"Not right now!" I shouted at him over the cry of the battle.
He grabbed my other shoulder so I would look at him. I shook it off.
"Don't you touch me." I growled at him.
He pulled me in and whispered a very long sentence in my ear. I didn't pay as much attention as I should have, since it was actually very important and could possibly save hundreds of lives. I understood after he told me, and I nodded.
Dimitri pulled me away from him, and we ran over to where Victor was.
END OF SCENE! (soz but ive tried everything!)
Victor was standing on the ledge, hovering over a cliff. He was expecting me, apparently, since he didn't seem too shocked as I walked into the clearing, completely cut off from the rest of the fight.
"Ah, Rosemarie Hathaway. Always going into things she not welcome."
Dimitri stepped out from the trees. Victor smirked at him.
"But some welcome you, I suppose."
"You won't get away this time, Victor. They'll see you for who you truly are. You'll be exposed by the court."
Victor laughed and snapped his fingers twice. Nausea built within me, and eight Strigoi stepped out of the trees. They aimed for Dimitri, attacked him from all sides. He wasn't able to help me anymore. The Strigoi had had a hold of his arms.
"Let him go!"
Victor shook his head. "I don't think so. Besides, if I let him go, I would have to let you go too."
He snapped his fingers again, and suddenly, I was surrounded by Strigoi.
All looking to rip my throat out.
They came in from all corners. I didn't have my pole, which would have come in handy right now. One swipe and I may have knocked them back enough to get to Victor.
I had no time. I couldn't kill all of them at once, and I certainly couldn't kill them all one by one without another attacking me from behind.
"Ah, my sweet Lissa." Victor crowed from his ledge. I froze and turned around to Dimitri, and surely enough, Lissa was standing with him, along with Adrian, Christian and Eddie.
I was struck at the back of the head by my hesitation. I fell down on the ground, face planting onto the dirt. I groaned.
"NO!" Lissa screamed.
I picked myself up off the ground, powered by Lissa's fear.
There was a laughing around me, the Strigoi making fun of me.
I stumbled with my leg injury, but I stood tall as I walked over to Victor, slightly limping.
I climbed up, my stake between my teeth.
When I was fully standing in front of Victor, he ripped my stake out of my teeth, my body to weary to fight him back. He held the stake to my chest.
I was now facing him, a big cliff at my feet.
"I dreamed that one day you would be strong enough to fight me." He grinned, poking the stake at my chest hard enough to make a hole. Enough to bleed.
I saw out of the corner of my eye two things. One, Lissa screaming out to me. Two, the Strigoi looking at me like I was the tastiest piece of meat ever. Maybe to them I was.
Victor pushed me a little. "Today's not that day."
I held onto the stake at my chest. I knew I had given up. But I was tired and alone. I had no weapon.
Only a reason to live. But sometimes, that not enough.
"Any final words?" he asked bitterly.
I swallowed my pain and my needs. I smirked at him. "Death is only the beginning."
And I jumped off the cliff, falling towards my death.
END OF SCENE!
Victor had planned this all perfectly, but the flaw was the arrow sticking from his chest when he walked through the court, handcuffs around his wrists behind his back, and at least eight people taking him through the courtroom.
He was dropped in front of the judge after his walk of shame.
He was sentenced to the execution.
Lissa cried into Christian's shoulder almost all the time after the fight. Many people died. But they weren't just thrown aside anymore. I think that after everything has happened, they had a new frame of mind. They were all buried out the back of the court, a new section now warded for family and friends of the dead.
And despite being caught, Victor was still smiling as he was receiving the news. That he would die and no one, ever, would care about that.
"Maybe, then, I could share something?" he asked.
The judge let out a sigh of impatience. "What?" she asked bitterly.
"I would like to bring something to your attention," he addressed the whole room. He caught Dimitri's eye, standing in a corner with his arms crossed over his chest. He never smiled anymore, even more than before. He was still very upset. "Rose may be dead, but something still lives on through her…lover."
He was going to expose Dimitri. Dimitri clenched his fists and shook his head in angry disbelief at Victor.
"Can this please be moved forward," the judge said impatiently.
He smiled at her in a way that could be moved as flirting, but everyone knew that he was just satisfied with himself.
"Dimitri and Rose, you think, were just mentor and student. Not true."
There was an audible gasp followed along with small chattering around the courtroom.
He grinned. "So now I have exposed Rose and Dimitri, and killed Rose." He said. "Kill me."
"Gladly." I said standing behind him with the gun held the back of his head. It was touching, just so he knew where he stood here.
"Impossible," he said angrily.
I let the gun away from his head so he could see me.
"Nothing is impossible," I told him. "Besides, I told you so. Death is only the beginning."
He growled. "You're right," he said smoothly. "Nothing is impossible."
He produced a knife from within his pocket and stabbed me in the stomach.
I gasped as I fell back.
"NO!"
I fell on the ground, clutching my stomach.
My eyes were slowly drifting to a close. I felt Dimitri hovering over me, supporting my neck.
"Rose! Come on, stay awake! GET THE PARAMEDICS! Rose!"
I brang his lips down on mine for three seconds before coughing out to the side. Blood leaked out of my mouth.
"I love you, Dimitri."
I passed out after that.
LOL! I killed her twice! haha!
Okay, to prevent any confusion, she didn't actually die to begin with.
Hope you like it, and may i say YAY! I'M FOURTEEN! FINALLY! Haha
