Vampire Academy Sequel The Beginning Of The End

chapter 13

I ran into the main room, and found humans, scattered on the floor, there blood painting the carpet. kaitlyn was still screaming Adrian’s name.

And I heard a voice behind me, and I spun around. Kaitlyn was not with Me. where the hell was she?

The strigoi in front of me was blonde and holding Adrian in a death grip. His eyes were shut, and I prayed he had just passed out.

 “You make one false move, and I swear I will kill him.” he said. His voice sent shivers down my spine.

 “Let him go…”I said in my most dangerous voice.

 “Don’t you dare rush me? I want my fun first.”

 I waited.

 “Do you know a certain man named Dimitri?” he asked. I tensed.

 “No.” I lied.

 He saw right through me.

 “Ahhh, you do don’t you? I watched him kill so many innocents.”

 “Shut up...” I tasted the fear on my tongue.

 “He killed, and I helped him…he seemed to enjoy their pain.”

 “I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!”I yelled

 He growled and tightened his grip on Adrian’s throat. He went blue. He started laughing, and then a figure snuck up behind him.

 Kaitlyn.

 He was so busy gloating, that he didn’t see her. She slashed him across the back of the head.

 “GET THE HELL OFF HIM YOU BASTARD!” she yelled.

 He spun around, and pinned her to the ground. Her eyes widened in fear. Her stake was knocked half way across the room on impact, and her arms were pinned down. So she went for a swift kick in the crotch.

Apparently that worked on strigoi too.

He fell down, clutching his parts, and she ran to get her stake. He ran up to her, but she was too quick. She shoved her stake into his heart, and he crumpled to the ground.

She dropped her stake, and it clattered to the floor. She ran to Adrian, and bent down beside him.

 “Adrian. Adrian…are you all right? Speak to me!” she said, voice panicked, hands fluttering around his body. I wondered how someone could care for another person so much after just meeting them. But there it was.

 He opened his eyes. Her face looked relieved.

 “Th -thank you...” he mumbled, and then sank into unconsciousness.

 I put a hand on her shoulder and she smiled at me.

 “You saved his life…thank you.” I said, gratefully.

 “Did what I had to” she said, and looked down at Adrian again. The adoration in her eyes betrayed her. He meant more to her than that though, even though they’d only just met. I could tell.

 I looked down at the mess of broken bodies beyond me. This was gonna be a helluva mess to clear up…

 “Kaitlyn?” I asked.

 She tore herself away from Adrian and got up.

 “Yeah?” she answered.

 “Where is your moroi?” I asked.

 Her eyes teared up.

 “Kaitlyn…”I said, confused.

 “Please -I don’t want to talk about It.” she whispered, as if the memory caused pain.
