Chapter 23

Adrian's POV

All of us were now on our way to the abandoned building. I was really nervous. What if I staked her but didn't get to infuse spirit in the stake...? 'What if' questions going on in my head. I guess Lissa noticed that I was nervous because she said to me, "Don't worry Adrian. You'll save her." I nodded in reply.

I can do this. I can do this!

We then stopped, I looked out the window and saw that we were in front of the abandoned house now. I looked at it and there was no movement. We all got out of the SUVs and slowly and carefully made our way to the door. Alberta stepped through the door first and then motioned us quietly to come in.

I let everyone go in before me and when I got in I looked at everyone and saw that they were looking straight ahead. The Guardians had there stakes out and the gang was just standing there. I looked at the direction they were looking at and saw Rose and Dimitri standing.

Dimitri was in a fighting position and Rose just stood normally.

I whispered, "Rose..." so low that nobody could have heard. Nobody except Rose.

Because after I said her name, she turned her head in my direction and stared at me. I felt nervous and a little scared because it felt like she was staring at my soul...

After I had gotten over my nervousness and fear, I said, "Rose, we're here to help you."

She laughed, it sounded cold and there wasn't any humor in it. She said, "I don't want your help. I don't need your help."

"I could turn you back into a Dhampir!" I told her.

Rose's POV

When Adrian had said that the voice came back.

Let them help you.

"Shut up..." I muttered to myself.

You need their help... You want their help... You want to become a Dhampir again...

"No... No... No!"

I glared at Adrian and yelled, "Get out of here! Now! I don't want you people to help me! Now, leave me alone!"

I saw everyone flinch when I had yelled. Then Lissa said, "We are not leaving Rose."

I sighed and got an idea. I looked at Dimitri and then ran as fast as I could behind him. I held him by the neck. I saw the Guardians start to move towards me but Adrian stopped them.

I smirked and said, "If you don't get out now... I'm going to make Dimitri a strigoi." I felt Dimitri tense and I saw everybody's eyes widen. Then Christian said, "You wouldn't do that Rose. You love him too much to do that to him..."

I looked at Christian and said, "Christian, I am not the Rose you all knew. Now, c'mon people. What's it going to be? You guys leaving or Dimitri turning strigoi?"

Nobody moved. If nobody was going to move, I'm going to turn Dimitri into a strigoi. Right in front of all of them. I continued to wait if they were going to leave. I waited for about 30 seconds, but still nobody moved. I guess they aren't leaving. So I bit into Dimtiri's neck and drank from him. I heard Lissa scream, Adrain yell out, "No!" and Dimitri groan out in pain.

I heard footsteps running towards me but I continued to drink. I heard Adrian yell out in pain now. The footsteps were getting closer so I pulled my fangs out of Dimitri's neck and cut my wrist. I opened his mouth and put my wrist there. I made sure that the blood would go down his throat.

After a few seconds, I had to move away from Dimitri and jump away from a Guardian who tried to punch me. This Guardian was a male and very tall. Perhaps the same height as Dimitri. I punched him on the chest and he went flying backwards. Then another Guardian tried to punch me. This time it was a female Guardian. I punched her just like I did to the other Guardian and she also went flying backwards.

The Guardians didn't come at me anymore. They just stood there looking at me. I looked at how many Guardians were here. There were about 5.

I smirked at them and said, "See yah!"

I then ran to Dimitri and grabbed his unconscious body, must have fainted when I drank blood from him, and I ran out of the abandoned house. I ran to any place where they wouldn't be able to find us until Dimtiri would awake.

Lissa's POV

When she ran out, the Guardians were about to run after her but I stopped them. I said, "Don't go after them, she's too strong."

Adrian looked at me and said, "What are you saying? We need to go after them!"

I looked back at him and said, "Adrian, Dimitri is going to become a strigoi. We're going to need to change them both back now. That means, I need to practice so we could bring them both back."

Adrian looked down at the ground and said, "Okay then... Let's get back to the academy..."

We all made our way to the SUVs, got in and made our way back to the academy without Dimitri and Rose.

I was sitting in between Christian and Adrian, so I looked ahead of me and said, "Why couldn't we have just left...?"

Christian was the one to answer. "Because we probably all thought that she wasn't going to do it..."

"I can't believe Rose actually turned Dimtiri into a strigoi..." I heard Adrian mutter to himself.

I turned to him and said, "Don't worry Adrian... We'll save them... No matter what right?" he nodded his head in response and then looked out the window.

I sighed. What would happen if I couldn't charm the stake...? Who would we save then, Rose or Dimitri...

How could this have happened...? Out of all the people... It just had to be them...

Then I remembered something... Adrian yelled out in pain before... could it be...? They're bonded?

I said out of no where, "You guys were bonded weren't you...?"

Christian was looking at me confused and Adrian looked away from the window and looked at me. Then he said, "Yes..."

I looked ahead of me and realized that we had some things in common.

First, we lost our best friends.

Second, we were both bonded to them.

Last but not the least, Adrian and I had a mission.

To save them both...
