I own nothing. And thank you MaxieMoose for updating your story! YOUR AWESOME!
Chapter 16: Finally at Mia's? Or finally caught?
We finally reach Novosibirsk. Mia's place was somewhere in the center, and her part of town is over crowded, that way, no one will be able find us so easily.
"We're almost there." I said to myself. Within a few minutes, we were at her driveway. She had a small one story house to herself. After she finished school in the court, she wanted to live somewhere other than America, so now she lives here in Russia.
When she found out, or more like was informed that we were alive and living here, she decided to stay here with us for help and other crap.
Dimitri squeezed the hand that he held for the last few hours. I turned around to see the kids. Eli slept comfortably while his lap was covered in the brightly colored wrappers that were his candy; while Anna slept with a pout on her face.
I sighed. We reached Mia's, and it was not a happy sight.
I gasped. "No." Dimitri pushed the break petal and I got out o the car. Her lawn had track marks all over, her windows were broken, and the outside looked really shattered and torn.
"Rose." I heard Dimitri called, but my whole world was a blur to me. I ran closer to the house. "Rose!" He got out off the car and nodded to Christian to follow; Christian did the same to Adrian. The other followed except for Adrian who stayed with the kids.
I busted down the door as it fell right off its hinges. I looked at her living room. Her knicj knacks such as picture frames, and décor was knocked off the selves and smashed to smitherings on the ground. Her curtains were ripped to shreds, and her electronics were smashed as if someone were pushed against it. And on top of that, the carpet was soaked with blood and water.
"Rose!" I heard Lissa say. I ignored her and walked inside. I looked at her bookshelf, broken down to nothing but a pile of wood, her books, water soaked and had foot prints all over their covers.
"Oh my God." I heard Christian say behind me. I continued on into the kitchen, oh lord, it gets worst.
The stove was smashed and had a dent on it, her cabinets were starting to fall off, and her pantry, oh god, the pantry door is made out of glass, but even that was broken, and her kitchen knives were covered in blood.
The others made their way into the kitchen; There was a large object on the counter and I looked at it. It had a silver stake that was driven through the chest.
I screamed and the others came running in. "What is it?" Dimitri said shaking me, but I couldn't stop quivering. He turned around and saw it. He held me close to him. "It's okay, it isn't her." He murmured.
I nodded. Of course it isn't her.
Mia has blonde hair, this body had brown, and of course, she had a small built, and this one had a large built, possibly a dhampir, and of course, this body is male.
"It's a guardian" I said. I walked closer to eat and got a good look at him. He looked like he's the around the same age as Dimitri, possibly older. I opened his closed eyes and saw that he wasn't a strigoi, and he had the stake's hold at the side. Oh my God.
I turned to Dimitri. "They knew we were coming here," I turned back to the corpse. "They knew."
"But where's Mia?" Lissa and Christian came in.
I shrugged. I looked on the ground and found a bloody piece of paper. I picked it up and opened it. I squinted my eyes. I handed it over to Dimitri. "It's written it cryptic," I explained. "I can't read it."
He nodded and took it. He read it, and his eyes widened as he read it again, and again. Then his mouth dropped.
"What does it say?" Lissa asked in a small voice.
He continued staring at it. "If you want to see your friend, your mother, and your father, and for you Belikov," he gulped. "Your family alive, then meet us in ten days, at this exact location," he had to choke out the last words. "If you don't…we will…see to it…that they…die in…your place."
I stood frozen. No. They have me parents and Dimitri's family? How cruel can these people be?
"What about our families?" Christian asked. "What about them?" I know he's worried about Tasha, surprisingly, I am too.
Dimitri read it again. He gulped. "This includes everyone that is close to any of you in family," he looked at Christian who held back tears. "They will be killed or imprisoned if they help you."
I gasped for air. "They're going to kill innocent people just because of us!" I cried. I'll kill them! "I hate these bastards!" I pounded my hand on the counter which broke in half.
Dimitri held me again and tried to hold back his own tears. I cried in his chest. Then it hit me, they want to kill my kids too if they want to get rid off our families.
"Eli, Anna…" I couldn't let the last of come, but it did. "They're…going to take them too."
Dimitri held me tighter. "No." he said rather rough. "They will not die, none of them will, especially Eli and Anna." I choked back sobs.
We walked out of there and drove away. I turned around as we rounded the corner that will lead us back on the highway.
Ten days. Ten days till we come back, ten days until we're killed, ten days until everyone we know and care about is murdered.
