Chapter 14
Previously on: Rose's Miracle
I turned my head in shock; his accomplice was none other than…
Tasha Ozera, I should have known that she would escape jail. What I found interesting and alarming was that Dimitri and I had not learnt of her escape, perhaps cutting us off entirely from the world was both ignorant and stupid?
Her eyes were also crimson red, meaning that Victor had turned her or she had gone by choice. Nothing made any sense; I thought I had killed Victor. Perhaps a Strigoi got to him before he really had the chance to die?
The thought made me sick to my stomach, two of my worst enemies were in the same room as me and nonetheless I was also tied up. I was nearly coming to my 3 months, which meant my first trimester was nearly over, once I reached that it was time to fly over to Turkey. We only had a week or so left in this beautiful country, and they had found us already?
"Well, well, Rose how careless of you" Victor sneered
A Rose comeback evolved in my head but of course I couldn't voice my thoughts as they had put tape over my mouth.
"Oh Rose, it's so…lovely to see you. We left on such terrible terms last time" Tasha said genuinely.
Yeah you shot me.
Did her sanity leave as well as her soul when she was turned? I thought.
"But im prepared to make that up to you, you see Rose, we know some powerful people. These powerful people want something, very badly." Tasha said
"Not only do they want the illustrious Rose Hathaway in the Strigoi world but they also want Dimitri Belikov" Victor explained.
I saw Tasha's head prick up at the sound of his name and a hungry expression arose on her face.
"However, there is another issue. A person of your current state has never been turned Strigoi before, but we're willing to look past that since your baby will no doubt be as legendary as the both of you and that to us is a very big danger." Victor said while pacing the room.
They wanted to turn Dimitri and I into Strigoi? Hopefully killing my babies in the process? I felt sick to the core.
I started thrashing around, trying to find some way to escape. There was nothing and I was trapped. Where was Dimitri? Was there more Strigoi? Surely they would bring more to try and take down Dimitri and I?
Unless they were bluffing about these 'powerful people' I thought.
Victor walked over and ripped off the tape from my mouth, I didn't dare scream. I would wait for the right moment.
I took bigger breaths from my mouth, for the first time I'm sure Victor and Tasha would be witnessing fear in my eyes.
Something that people rarely got to see from me in these types of situations.
"So Rose, are you going to go peacefully? I doubt it, but there isn't much you can do about that." He said
"I want to do it, please let me do it." Tasha said nearly pleading.
"No Tasha, I promised you Dimitri, Rose is mine." He said threateningly.
His fangs were sticking hungrily out of his mouth, he started to lean down and bite my neck. I head butted him before he had the chance and I started to scream, I screamed like I had never screamed before. I stunned him and I hoped to god that it was enough for Dimitri to hear.
"Hold her head down Tasha, I need to get this over with before Belikov comes in" He said.
He started to lean down again, and this time my head was immobile. This was it, after everything we had done to fight, to get where Dimitri and I are now for it to end just like this. I couldn't deal with this, I couldn't let my babies die I promised myself that I would never let that happen.
I could feel the tips of Victor's fangs on my neck, I felt him pierce my skin and I screamed out in pain. I started to cry, I closed my eyes pleading that Dimitri would come, that anyone would come.
All of a sudden the pain was gone, and I could hear a commotion in the room. Thuds and crashing, had Dimitri come? I'd hoped he wasn't too late; I could feel the rapid blood loss taking its toll.
I couldn't keep awake any longer, and I hoped to god that once I woke up, this nightmare would be over and my babies safe…
D.P.O.V
I started to read the new Western Novel I bought, I was really excited to read it and I knew that it would keep me occupied for the next week until Rose and I left for her dad's mansion in Turkey.
I was really stuck into the book when I looked up and heard a commotion coming from the staff lounge.
I ignored it and continued reading; no one would recognize us we were in disguises. When I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right I opened the door to the staff lounge.
Almost everyone in the room was unconscious or dead, fresh blood pouring out of their necks.
Strigoi.
I quickly made some calls for back up and clean up, and I ran into Rose's room. I heard a painful scream and ran faster to the door. God I hope I wasn't too late.
I kicked the door open and saw Victor hovering over Rose, his fangs bared and deep in her throat sucking the life force out of the love of my life.
Tasha saw me and lunged for me, what the hell?
How did she escape jail? And most importantly how is Victor alive?
These thoughts only went through my mind for a millisecond as I deflected Tasha's attack.
"Being bold really doesn't suit you Dimka" Tasha said with hunger in her eyes.
I pulled out my stake and went into my defensive stance; before I could deal with Tasha I had to get Victor off Rose.
I side stepped her and drew my stake into Victors back, straight through and hitting his heart. I was proud that I had got it in one shot, it was the only opportunity that I had. He screamed obscenities until he was no more than a rotting corpse on the ground.
I looked at Rose and I could tell she was losing blood fast, my blood was boiling and all of a sudden I had a sudden surge of such anger and fury. It wasn't something that I had experienced before, usually Rose was the one to lose control and unleash her anger. But this time, oh boy was it my turn.
Tasha was quick to react; we circled each other for a while landing blows on each other whenever we could. My anger is what kept me going, anger for what Rose and I had been through, for the pain that she has been caused, and for all the complete bullshit that just seemed to keep coming our way. Tasha was a good friend of mine, I didn't want to do this despite what she did and has done to Rose. But we were taught to kill and not hesitate, so that's what I did.
"Come on Dimka, join us again. You still have a powerful reputation here in the Strigoi world and I know there are people that are just begging to have you again in their grasp once again. There hasn't been a leader the same since you were turned back." Tasha said
I ignored her taunts; I just wanted to get this over with. I knew Rose needed help, and I didn't want to waste anymore time. I had called Abe not long ago; I hoped that he would get here soon.
"I loved you Dimka, do you really want to kill me? Do you hate me that much? Just think, we could spend eternity together. We could have fun just like the old days" She continued on.
"The old days are over Tasha, a lot has changed. I have a family now." I said this while looking over at Rose.
"Aw, how sweet. You do realize that she won't be alive for long? Neither will her baby. We can't afford for a Hathaway\Belikov offspring to be alive, it's too much of a threat. And we're prepared to kill her and you in the process." She said laughing,
This pushed me over the edge; no one was going to hurt my family. I wouldn't ever let that happen.
It wasn't long before I heard a commotion outside the room, I was growing tired and Tasha was obviously a fresh Strigoi. Guardians rushed in the room and it gave me the final opportunity to land my last fatal blow.
I went for a fake jab for her to deflect leaving a clear opening on her chest. It was an obvious move but I was hoping her distraction would give me the advantage.
She fell for it and I drove my stake into her chest, my fatigue had got to me and I wasn't quite sure if I had pierced the heart. Nonetheless she screamed in agony, it's a sound that will most likely haunt me for a while. Tasha and I were friends for a long time; it's never something that you want to go through, having to kill them like that.
She fell to the floor and I watched as she writhed in pain, Abe burst into the room barking orders. I ran over to Rose, taking off her restraints and trying to rouse her awake.
"Rose, Roza? Can you hear me? Please wake up." I pleaded
"What happened here Belikov?" Abe asked
He looked angry, he blamed me for this and I don't blame him.
I couldn't dignify him with an answer I was just focusing on Rose, a medic started to attend to her neck wound.
"She's lost a lot of blood, we'll need to get her a blood transfusion as soon as possible." The medic said.
"My jet plane is ready to go, its time that you and Rose come home with me." Abe ordered.
I held Rose's hand as she was lifted up onto a stretcher, amazingly all of this had gone unobserved, unfortunately the alchemists had a lot to clean up and I mourned for the humans that got in the way of the Strigoi.
The medic hooked Rose up to some machines on the jet plane, and we headed for Turkey. I was held Rose's hand, the plane was estimated to take about 18 hours.
I was almost asleep when I heard Abe approach me from behind. I could tell he was hesitant to speak, so I went first;
"Abe, I'm so sorry I let this happen. Rose just wanted to get a massage, her body was aching and we were both going insane in there. I know I shouldn't be giving excuses, and I know it was a huge mistake. I won't let it happen again." I finished
"Dimitri I'm mad, but not at you. I'm mad at whoever is making my daughters life hell, im infuriated that not even I could keep her safe. From now on we're no longer on the defense Belikov, Rose will be safe at my mansion. You and I will be going on a renaissance, mission its time that we sort out these bastard Strigoi. I'll have some of my best men come with us." Abe finished, expecting me to argue.
"If you can promise Rose's safety, then I'm all yours. Lets take these Мать ублюдок в down.' I said fiercly.
We shook hands and he left to attend to some business. I finally gave in to exhaustion and waited for the plane to land and for my Roza to wake up.
