Chap 1.

The fight was brutal. I shouted for Rose to get out. For once in her life at the Academy, she listened to me. Just as I thought the fight was over, well, nothing is as it seems. I saw Rose just out in the sunlight, waiting for me. I could tell what she was thinking. We often thought the same things in times of danger. We can be together soon enough, my love. I was running out of the cave with two guardians trailing behind me. I didn't see who they were; I could only see Rose. My Roza. I looked at her with eyes so full of love. This was the only emotion I could show; I was a guardian. She was a student. I was an adult and she was a minor. No way could my looking at her like I felt go over well. She was the only person able to look into my eyes and soul and see my true feelings. I thought the fight was over. Man, was I wrong.

We were taken down by five Strigoi-the two guardians and I. There may have been more, but I only heard two sets of footsteps. How could I not have seen the Strigoi though? Dangit I was so frustrated, and confused about why they hadn't taken the group just before me. They had the Moroi! At least they let my Roza through. That was all I could think of at the moment. They let my Roza through. Well, that and how the heck to take down the five remaining Strigoi with only three exhausted guardians. I fought as many as I could with as little as I had. Each of the two guardians behind me had taken down a Strigoi. The blond Strigoi I was sparring took them both down with the snap to the neck. It was me against two of, obviously, the best Strigoi. I was outnumbered. I was seriously outnumbered, and I was exhausted. The only thing that kept me going was the thought of ridding Strigoi from the world, and Rose. Roza. Roza and the cabin. The thoughts drifted around in my head until another Strigoi came up behind me and I staked him. I sprinted with all I had left. I still had enough adrenaline in me to make it to the exit of the cave. I'm going to make it! Yea, not with my luck. I shrieked at Rose to get the Moroi and get the heck back to the academy. I think the only reason she listened to me, is because it involved Moroi. Then blondie stepped out just before I could safely make it into the sunlight. Rose had come back for me. Or maybe she hadn't been completely out of hearing range when she heard my obnoxious cry of pain. The blonde Strigoi bit me, and bit me hard. Before Rose could come back in the cave to rescue me, I looked at her with all the love I could summon into my eyes, and with that I pleaded that she take care of the Moroi, and herself. "Take care of yourself Roza, goodbye, and I love you." I slipped into the blackness. Whether it was blood loss or exhaustion I didn't know.
