Chapter 8
"Hello Rosemarie, nice to see you yet again. Oh, and we cannot forget our dear Valissa." He shot her a glance that would have looked innocent If I wouldn't have known better. "We also have more company, I noticed. Christian. Adrian," he nodded as a greeting," And then there's Dimitri. Dimitri, the love of Rose's life, the person who she broke me out of prison to save, and now, the person who in result, she's put into danger." I glared. "Victor, go ahead and touch any one of them, and I swear, I will kill you. I can make it slow and very painful too." Wow, I didn't even recognize my own voice. I lightened up a bit and continued,"Then I can deal with your strigoi friends. How'd you even get them any ways? Threaten to turn them back to whatever they were before they changed?" I shot him a sarcastic look. I felt for Lissa in my head. She was terrified. And angry, very angry. She hated him so much, she had to kill him, she couldn't let him get Micheal. I wished I could look over and say something comforting, but I couldn't get distracted. "Now, Rose, do you think I'm stupid? I have fourteen strigoi here, and that's a little much for you and Dimitri alone. I made sure that I had enough to keep you away from me." Victor rolled his eyes like it was just to obvious, then continued."You wonder about why they are here? Well, all I have to do is offer them money, a place to hide out, and easy killings, and then I have a strigoi army. When the disease comes back, I will get one of them to turn me, but until then I need to be able to freely move about in the sun to do the work I've been doing." he paused, and his face lit up. "Speaking of the work I've been doing, some one would like to see Lissa." At that moment, two strigoi hauled a young boy, maybe a few months older than me, that had Lissa's blond hair, and her deep green eyes. Micheal.
"Let him go, Victor!"Lissa screamed. That had done it. If her going up there and smacking him around a few times wouldn't have gotten her killed and messed all of us up, she would have done it. While still looking at Victor, I said, "Lissa, calm down." Victor laughed. "Why are you even doing this?" I asked him. "Ah, I was wondering when this would come up. Seeing as I'm making sure there is no way you can get out of this alive, I guess I'll tell you. If our Valissa would have went back to court with Micheal, she would have become powerful. What with the queen dead, everyone isn't as settled as they should be, but with Lissa coming in to take her spot on the council, people will look up to her and her control over situations, a lot like a queen herself. Lissa's ideas are great, but they ruin everything I'm working for. While the Moroi world is all shaken up, they aren't quiet paying enough attention to strigoi. All the dhampirs and Moroi will be easy picking for our dinner. yeah, eventually everything will become normal after a while, and then things will go back to the way it was around here. But, by that time me and-" he motioned to all the strigoiin the room "- the rest of them will have an amazing reputation for finishing the Dragimors and starting the commotion, we will be leaders among strigoi. That is if we can not kill each other." He shook his head.
Victor sickened me. This was disgusting. he was trying to get every one riled up so no one would notice Moroi an d dhampir numbers going down and strigoi numbers going up. I felt Lissa's emotions hard.. Disbelief and disgust. Then some one snickered. Christian. "Whatever. If y'all get get past Rose and Dimitri then you can have the rest of the world. But I think they'll win." he tried to sound confident but I could hear fear in his voice. I really wish he wouldn't push this further. "Christian, shut the hell up before I give you to them OK?". I notice that some one had started laughing when Christian talked. I looked over to see some of the strigoi smiling and Victor cracking up. "We'll just have to see about that. Before we take you guys away, we could give you a fighting chance. " He was still laughing. I looked at Dimitri from the corner of my eye. His head slightly nodded. Without any notice, I pulled out my stake and dashed toward Victor while Dimitri got on my side where strigoi were approaching. My mind flashed back to when he was turned again but i quickly shook that off. I was maybe seven feet in front of Victor when I was restrained by four strigoi. I looked over at Dimitri and he had four stigoi on him too. I couldn't see Lissa so I went to her head. Only two strigoi where with her, Christian , and Adrian. I sighed. Thank god I was a just about master of escape.
I tried fighting off the strigoi, but that didn't work. I calmed down, and they dropped me on the ground, but didn't leave. There was no getting past them. I thought back to the time Dimitiri captured me and remembered how they took my stake. I slowly slid my stake into the leg of my pants from the top. If the wanted it they were going to have to go down there and get it, and they wouldn't get too far. I looked up and didn't think anyone had noticed that. Good. "Your forgetting who your dealing with Victor. We'll get out with Micheal. And If I don't get to kill you today, that will be my next mission. Just wait." I told him. "I'll be waiting for a while, then." He smiled, and the last thing I seen was him motioning a strigoi to do something before My Head crashed and I blacked out.
