My heart was trying to break free from my chest, my hands sweaty, my breath in short pants and I wanted nothing more then to turn away from this huge black gate and run home to Russia, wrap myself in Dimitri's arms and hide from the world outside our little home. There I was safe and loved here I was alone and scared, even with my gifts I stood against something or someone that wanted me to join them or dead ….

How do you really stand against something like this and have no fear in you, you can't and if someone says you can then they are fucking idiots. The only reason I stand here now is to protect not the world but 3 people, Dimitri and my children they were the most important thing to me and the only reason I place my hands on the gate and push the old rusted gates swing open and I take a deep breath and take the first step into death or my happily ever after.

The school quite, to quite, there should be pupils and guardian running around getting on with their lives but there wasn't, not one single person. This was my first sign that something big was here, for me. I tried to stay in the shadows of the buildings in case there just so happened to be someone around a corner I was going to turn. I got around the grounds and into the medic centre easily enough.

"Rose, you have to stop fighting your going to hurt yourself worse someday"

"hey doc don't worry" I smiled

"Rose please just listen to me this time"

"Doc if I get hurt you'll patch me up, its all good"

The memory passed through my mind as I walked passed the waiting room in the medic centre, I had been 8 years old and had fallen out a tree, the doctor had to give me 10 butterfly clips to hold the wound closed but it didn't stop me, as I continued to walk more and more memory made their way forward.

"hello"

"hello"

"my name is Lissa"

"I'm Rose"

"were going to be good friends you and I, Rose"

The first time I met Lisa

"Lissa he's crazy"

"he's not, he's just misunderstood"

"ok fine your Crazy"

The moment she told me she liked Christian

"Hello Little Damphir"

There was no need to remember more about Adrian, the simple one phrase said everything about him

"My name is Dimitri Belikov, Princess and I am here to take you home"

That voice that could make me so mad or so happy without even trying, how I loved it, how I missed it

I couldn't stop the tears that ran down my face as the memories from my life here ran like a movie through my mind, I had spent so much of my life here and met some of the closest people to my heart here, it killed me that the place I might die today was the same place.

I made it to the Dinning hall and that's when the shit really hit the fan, lines and lines of students and staff where tired up in the centre of the room, some looked badly beaten and some looked close to death, there was no one else in the room so I crept in and the first person I came across was Stan Fucking Alto

"great we need saving and the universe sends Rose Hathaway" he snapped as I approached him

"don't fucking start with me Stan or I will leave you here to die" I growled as I untied his hands and feet

"what are you doing here ?" he muttered as we started getting the students free

"I needed to be here for this, do you know who is behind this ?"

"Strigoi"

"yes but who ?"

"I don't know, they came from no where and before we could even reached they had breached the school, most the guardians dead and the students were being brought here, he have been here for days now"

"when it starts, if I tell you to do something Alto you do it, understood ?"

"don't tell me ..."

"am I fucking understood ?" I screamed, he seemed to realise this was not a fucking game

"yes"

"good, now hurry we don't have much time"

"Actually Rose you ran out of it a long time ago" A female voice called from across the room, I stood and turned to face my finale demon, the person who would determine my fate, if I was to forever be lost after this night or would return home to my love, was in this persons hands

As I finally came face to face with the women, my heart broke, she was a monster and it was my fault …...
