Chapter 6: The battle of Court part 1

Disclaimer: Vampire Academy belongs to Rochelle Mead; I make no profit from this work of fiction.

Previously on Another chance: This one had a potential of bringing down the Court.

I could again hear Hans's voice through my headphones: "Rose, remember what we talked about… Behind Lissa's closet…. But they know…. Do it. It's your only choice. And Rose?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't forget to…." And like that the line went dead. I knew what happened. I bent my head for a second. But I didn't have time to grieve yet. Could this work? Could this be a chance I was waiting for? But I was getting way ahead of myself. First we need to get the hell out of here.

"Liss can you use magic?"

"Why the hell is that important? We are in the middle of movie. And my favorite. Titanic. So just shut up and watch. My favorite part is about to start." Well that was ironic. We were just about to watch the Titanic sink. Like this Court. I just hope me and my friends will be watching it from a rescuing boat and not from inside the ship. And that Dimitri won't be playing the role of Jack.

"Just answer me Lissa" I could feel Dimitri's gaze on me. He could probably tell by his super ninja senses that something was off

"No, I can't use magic. Because of those stupid meds." I could hear how irritated she was about the whole thing. She had to take meds because of her being a queen.

"Rose what is going on?" Oh, right. Because of guardian's rules only one of two guardians was wearing an earwig. It was more practical and the person wearing it could get distracted by it. So Dimitri had no clue about what was going on.

"It's buria. Major storm. We are using plan B. Hans said so."

I could see Dimitri's face and body get into battle position. He was still handsome. Maybe even more. Come on Rose! Concentrate!

"What happened with plan A" asked Christian. He still had no idea about the situation. I was just about to hit him.

"It was never there." Said Dimitri and that shut him up.

"Who are you thinking about, Rose?" Asked Dimitri.

"Adrian." At this point Lissa literary fell of the couch.

"Will he do it?"

"If he knew why."

"Ok make the call."

I dialed number. The person at the other side answered at the first ring.

"Hello Daddy."

"Hello Kiz. What is with Daddy?"

"It is buria and we are going through with plan B."

"Chopper will be waiting for you in half hour."

"How many people?"

"Eight and bring Sydney. She is at Court and you'll need her."

"Ok and thanks"

"Always and Rose?"

"Yes?"

"Be safe and careful. Love you."

"What is going on? Is Zmey going all soft on me? But I will be careful. Love you too."

And just like that line went dead.

I looked at Dimitri.

"Electricity power went dead. No signal in general buildings. Something in case of Strigoi attack."

"Stop right there" said Lissa. Her eyes were wide with surprise. She almost fell on the floor. "Strigoi attack?"

"Don't have time to explain. But I promise I will. For now we have to move."

"Who are you thinking about?"Asked Dimitri

"Adrian, Sydney, Eddie and Jill" At this point Lissa actually fell out of couch on the floor. I and Adrian still haven't talked from our fight. And Jill's name still brought bad memories to her mind.

"I'll get them."

"They are in library. Adrian wanted to talk to Jill about something. And I know Eddie and Sydney are with them." Said Lissa.

Dimitri ran out of room.

"Rose tell me what is going on!" demanded Lissa.

"We don't have time. Not yet."

"Liss and Christian are there any personal items you would like to take with you?"

"With us where?"

"Don't have time" I reminded Lissa.

Christian brought an old watch. "It's my dad's. »He said to me as an explanation.

Only thing that Lissa brought was a small photo album. It was still half empty. I could only hope she will get a chance to fill it up.

I went to Lissa's closet. "Not a good time to search for an outfit." I heard Adrian say. I smiled. I haven't realized how much I missed Adrian. As I pressed a button that was hidden behind the ugliest hat I have ever seen, the closet opened. "Cool." I heard Christian say. As the closet opened there were eight backpacks. Five of them were small. I took all of them and given each one of them to Sydney, Jill, Adrian, Lissa and Christian. I took three big ones. I gave each one of them to myself, Eddie and Dimitri. There were also three stakes and three guns. Gun couldn't kill Strigoi but it could stop them for quite some time.

"I can already hear them." Lissa's voice stopped my thinking. The moroi can hear better, I reminded myself. "We don't have much time left. Eddie will go first then Adrian and Jill, then me, Lissa and Christian and Dimitri at last. If any of us is killed just keep on walking. You need to get to kitchen on the second floor. Behind the second kitchen cabinet from the right are doors. Behind the doors is a tunnel. Hide in tunnel and wait 10 minutes. If in ten minutes there is nobody there, then lock the door from inside so no one will be able to open them. Key is in everyone's backpack. At the end of the tunnel there is a chopper waiting for you. It will bring you to a safe place. Now go."

Everybody was still a bit shocked, but they started moving. We were not really running, but fast walking. The queen's suite is on the 5th floor, wing B. But the kitchen is on the 2nd floor, wing A. Now I didn't need special moroi hearing to know we were minutes if not seconds away from the battle Court can't win. There are not enough guardians here. There are strong magic wards around the Court so moroi didn't always have guardians with them. When last week Hans proposed that a plan in case of a major Strigoi attack should be made, moroi just laughed at his face. We were already on the second floor. I could already see wing A. We were so close. So close to freedom.

Suddenly we became surrounded by 5 or even more Strigoi.

A/N: As promised a long chapter for you. I really hope you liked it. I am still very new at all this writing and as I already said on many occasions English is my second language, so to people whose English is their first language this probably seems as something written in first grade. But please bear with me. I have this really great idea in my head that will give the perfect ending to Last Sacrifice and I really wanted to share it with you. R&R
