Previously on Another chance: 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.
3rd persons POV
Sun was just rising. As sun got to the remote corners of castle, the devastation showed. Bodies were everywhere. So many victims. Death hit everybody: nobles, servants and even Strigoi. And there next to the kitchen were 6 bodies: First one you could see was Eddie Castile. He was Jillian Mastrano's guardian. Almost under him was the princess. They were holding hands. Was there something more between them than just friendship? I guess the world will never know. And if there was anything they will never get to experience it. Next and a little behind them was body of Rose Hathaway-all bloody and a lot of bones broken. You were able to see that she fought until last minute. Then laying over her was Dimitri Belikov. He died after one Strigoi bite. He died protecting love of his life. And holding Rose's hand was Queen Vasilissa Dragomir. As beautiful as ever. And failing to protect her, was Christian laying next to her- as dead as everybody. And on the wall was written: Together forever. Around them was a bunch of Strigoi. Dead. I could count six of them, but maybe there was even more.
I thought I was going to be sick. I saw so many bodies today. Most of them royalty. I have no idea how moroi world will continue after this. A part of Court was blown up. It was a brave guardian's last act. It killed more than 900 Strigoi. Maybe the world of royalty almost ended. But also the world is almost free of Strigoi. By the first reports there were around 20,000 Strigoi bodies. The world known population of Strigoi is around 23,000. But before I finish my shift there was just something I needed to do. I needed to announce the end of Dragomir family line.
24 hours earlier- Rose's POV

I never liked math. I am not even good at it. But even I knew that three guardians can never take 6 Strigoi that was now surrounding us. And the numbers were rising. I didn't have time to think. I practically ran into first one. It was a young one. Not experienced one. I hit him twice and it already moved so it showed me an opening in his chest. I quickly send him flying back with a deadly strike wound in his chest. I could see Dimitri and Eddie also fighting. We made a small circle around moroi. They come first. I didn't have much time to look but I could see seven Strigoi excluding the ones Eddie and Dimitri were fighting. I quickly made my way to Lissa and quickly stabbed Strigoi next to her. Two down. I looked around. There was no way only we three could kill the remaining guardians. As I felt Strigoi hands on my neck I knew I was right.
A/N: So sorry for late posting. Again. I hope you liked this chapter. I had it written and saved on my computer for quite a while. Next chapter will be on in about a week.
