Now when I read about this tournament, looked at the matches and voted (YES YOU CAN VOTE! Thats how people win rounds) I imagined how the characters would actually interact with each other. So I started writing a fan-fic about a certain round thats coming up (23rd December people) between Rose (Vampire Academy) vs Alex (Half Blood) Now I've not actually read Half Blood so bear with me as you read.......
Rose stood in the shadows below the massive pine trees, one eye on the manor, the other on Eddie (who was taking a quick patrol around the garden) This was getting ridiculous. How was she supposed to ‘check out’ the house if she wasn’t allowed inside it. The guardian leading the raid had told her ‘sit tight and wait to see if anyone comes out. DO NOT come in. Understand?’ she thought this sort of attitude would have stopped when she finished up at the academy. She’d replied with a mock salute and stalked off to her position.
Alex slipped up to the girl waiting by the tree ‘Whats taking so long?’ The girl continued to sweep the area with her eyes as she turned ‘Don’t know, but none of these things usually turn out the way they’re supposed to” Grinning the girl said ‘Watch my position will you?’ and crept off to the house. Alex wasn’t getting the boring task dumped on her that easily. She gripped the dagger in her belt to be sure that it was still there and silently sped down the path. She was fast, moving through the garden like a shadow. Alex ducked between some trees and stood waiting.
Rose crept around the garden after she’d signaled to Eddie that she was heading off. She rounded a corner and there was that girl, long brown hair, deep brown eyes and full lips. If this was anything other than a stakeout she may have been intimidated. Now she was just annoyed ‘What are you doing here?’
‘Waiting for you, I want to see whats going on up there’
‘Well thanks for the offer but I can handle this myself’ The girl raised her eyebrows. With the height Rose would have thought she was Moroi, but she wasn’t as light and willowy as them. Still there was something different. ‘What are you?’
‘Half Blood’ So a dhamphir. Why didn’t some people just keep it simple? Oh well. Maybe she’s clumsy enough to catch the attention of another guardian and get sent back to her post. But with the way she just appeared there Rose doubted it ‘Don’t slow me down’
Alex followed the girl up to the house, she couldn’t sense any daimons nearby, but no one had said it wasn’t a possibility. She studied the girl ahead of her, she was agile, Alex could tell from the way she held herself and moved that they were both at similar skill levels. They stopped, the other girl - Rose - was still. Had she seen a daimon?
Rose paused she saw a flicker of movement, another guardian or a strigoi? She wouldn’t risk calling out. Rose headed forwards, slowly, quietly. Then all of a sudden it was upon them. A tall mass towering above them with those cold red eyes. The strigoi was fast and had the advantage of surprise, before she had time to act it had raised its arm preparing to send her flying - Alex was there, knocking him away. She had blade in hand and practically sliced the strigoi’s arm off. Rose had to give it to her, it was a tough move and she executed it perfectly. He lunged out at Alex, teeth bared. Rose was on her feet delivering a roundhouse kick to the guys stomach sending him back a touch enough for Alex to slip out of arms length. The strigoi turned, his face ablaze with anger. He lunged out at Rose but she was ready, dodging his blows, rolling under his arms and kicking away punches. Rose looked towards Alex and realized that she had no stake, but was advancing on the strigoi from behind. Alex grabbed him by the back of the shirt and sent him slamming to the ground. Rose saw her chance, launching onto the strigoi and driving the stake into its target with a perfect hit. He had one moment of life left as he looked up at Rose in shock and surprise. She stepped up off him and removed the stake.
Alex watched Rose as she stood and cleaned her stake it was short and silver and quite unlike the weapons she would normally use. Rose looked at her, there was a look of unwilling-respect in her eyes ‘We make a pretty good team’
‘The hottest team to take down one of these guys’ Alex grinned.
‘Come-on, someone would have heard that, we’d better get up to the house’
How will the story end? Who is the greater Heroine? We'll only know after the vote. Contribute to the vote (either Alex or Rose) The polls are open 22nd December and Close around the 23rd when the winner is announced.
