Chapter 3

Rose's POV

Right now, everybody, well.. except for Lissa and Adrian were fighting strigoi. I had already killed the one who attacked me first and now I was fighting another one. That was my first strigoi kill. I didn't continue thinking about the strigoi I had just killed because another one was heading towards me.

The strigoi was a tall male. He tried to kick me on the side but I blocked it and slashed my stake across his cheek. He screamed in pain and then I staked him in the chest where the heart was supposed to be. He let out an even more painful scream and then fell to the ground, dead.

I turned to Lissa and asked, "Are you okay?"

She nodded her head and then I turned my head to look at everybody.

Everyone was alright. There were a lot of dead strigoi around us. I saw that there was only 7 strigoi left.

We could probably take them down.

Stan and Alberta were already fighting 3 of the strigoi and the other two guardians were fighting the other 3. Then Dimitri and Adrian were about 2 meters away from where Lissa and I were standing.

I turned my head to look at Lissa.

Then I turned back around. Wait... I could have sworn I saw 7 strigoi before.

I looked around frantically to find where the other strigoi was.

Then I saw the strigoi. This strigoi was a guy and he was sneaking behind Adrian, about to jump onto him. Dimitri was still looking ahead so he couldn't see the strigoi behind them.

I turned to Lissa and said, "Stay here.." then I ran off towards the direction of Adrian and Dimitri.

Just as the strigoi was about to attack Adrian, I tackled the strigoi.

The strigoi growled because I was on top of him and then Adrian and Dimitri had turned their heads to where the strigoi and I were.

I looked at them for a few seconds, but I don't think that was such a good idea.

Because when I looked at them, the strigoi punched me on the side of my head making my head spin and making me drop my stake. The strigoi pushed me off him and went to attack Adrian again.

But this time Dimitri was ready. He was already in front of the strigoi and punched him in the face.

We heard a crunch sound. I guess Dimitri broke the strigoi's nose.

The strigoi cried in pain, then attacked Dimitri. They began to punch and kick each other. The strigoi got a few hits and so did Dimitri.

Adrian and I were watching. I stood in front of Adrian protectively just in case the strigoi suddenly made a move to come near him.

Then all of a sudden the strigoi was on top of Dimitri, pinning him down.

Adrian and I stood there in shock as the strigoi tried to bite Dimitri.

Then Adrian yelled to me, "Help him!"

I got past the shock and ran towards Dimitri and the strigoi. I did what I did before and tackled the strigoi off Dimitri.

I could tell the strigoi was seriously getting pissed at me for always tackling him. The strigoi then tried to punch me on the side of the head again but I blocked it. The next move he did was hit me on the ribs, hard. I think I broke a couple of ribs but I didn't think about the pain. Because all I thought about was that I was so going to kill this stupid strigoi! The strigoi pushed me off him and got up. I got up as well, and when I got up there was a lot of pain, but I tried to ignore it.

When I was standing, Adrian was now with Dimitri and trying to help him stand.

The strigoi didn't try to attack Adrian again, this time he focused on me.

He tried to kick me but I blocked it. He kept punching and kicking, while I tried to block. He got a few hits and they hurt. There were going to be a lot of bruises.

I then began to throw some punches and kicks. He blocked most of them but I still got him sometimes.

I did a roundhouse kick, which hurt me like hell because of my broken ribs, the kick got him in the stomach. He stumbled and I pinned him down to the ground.

I looked around for my stake or any stake so I could kill him.

I couldn't find one and I was getting weaker by the second.

I continued to look for a stake, then I saw Dimitri and Adrian.

I yelled at Dimitri and said, "Give me your stake!"

He threw it to me and I caught it.

I then staked the strigoi and then got off him and laid down on the ground.

My breathing was hard. I was so tired and in so much pain. My ribs really hurt and my arms and legs felt dead.

I looked over to where Lissa was standing to see if she was still there and okay.

She looked fine and she was looking at the guardians.

My eyes then looked at Adrian and Dimitri. Dimitri was standing by the help of Adrian. Maybe he got a sprain during the fight with the strigoi.

They were both looking at me with worry in their eyes.

I smiled them a smile that said that I was okay.

Then I looked away from them to look around me. The guardians had just finished killing the last strigoi. I saw that Alberta and Stan had run to Lissa to check on her. And the other two guardians went to Adrian and Dimitri.

I could hear Adrian yell, "Go help her!" I think he was gesturing to me.

I then heard footsteps rushing to where I was.

I could see two guardians above me. They then began to examine my injuries.

I could hear people running in this direction. I was guessing it was Lissa, Alberta and Stan.

I was right. Because I then saw them standing above me. I could feel Lissa's emotions. She was worried and concerned.

I smiled in her direction and said, "Don't w-worry it's just a few cuts and bruises."

She didn't buy it though. She told the guardians politely to move out of the way, then she kneeled next to me. I knew what she was going to do. She was going to heal me.

"No, don't waste your energy on me." I told her.

She didn't listen to me and began to heal me. I felt the hot and cold feeling as the magic flowed from her into me.

When she was done, I felt much much better. She got up and she didn't look that tired. I then got up.

Lissa and I made our way to Dimitri and Adrian. Lissa asked through the bond, Can I heal Dimitri?

I guess she could... if she wanted to. So I just nodded my head.

She stood in front of Dimitri and he looked confused.

She then touched him on the shoulder and sent spirit into him. She then let go and stood next to me.

Dimitri looked shocked and then walked around to test if his leg was still injured. Cause he couldn't stand before.

He stop walking and stood next to Adrian again and said to Lissa, "Thank you."

She just smiled at him and said, "No problem."

Adrian then asked Lissa, "Hey can you teach me how to heal? and I could teach you how to see auras and dream-walk."

Lissa nodded her head and said, "Okay"

We then made our way to the SUVs. We got into the same ones we went into before and made our way back to school.
