I do not own Vampire Academy.

This story was originaly meant to be a one shot but I grew curious and decided to continue, let me know how I'm doing and what you think.

We were nearing the exit, I could see the others…I could see her. Relief lit up her expression, just a few more steps and I'll be able to join her. To hold her, thank god she got out of this alive. Just a little farther, we were so close…

There was a strangled scream near by; I had no time to look. I just ran. Everything was happening so fast. I only saw her now… I had to get to her. That's when he grabbed me from behind, I hadn't seen him coming. It was a blonde Strigoi; he had me down in a second. If it weren't for the element of surprise, he wouldn't have been so much of a problem.

I fought against him, strength against strength. I had to break free, to run to her… he looked me straight in the eye and with a wicked smile he sank his fangs into my neck. Pain shot through my body. I felt him release but that did not end the pain. He was looking towards the cave opening now, towards my Roza. That's when I heard another scream… but this one made my heart sink, it hurt more than anything. It was her scream… I tried to stand but I couldn't move. I had to get to her somehow, to tell her it was going to be ok… that she wouldn't go crazy; I was supposed to be around to take care of her, to keep her from loosing her mind.

I lifted my head a little but I couldn't see her, it was chaos, my ears were ringing and I couldn't shake away this horrible pain, that's when I saw him again. His red rimmed eyes.

"Roza…" I whispered… everything went black.
