The words replayed itself over and over again. They execute traitors. Stupid Abe, why did he tell me that? Oh well, I shouldn't of asked. I took some time to access my surroundings. I was in the same cell that Dimitri was locked up in a while ago. I was also sitting curled up on the bed trying to feel his presence and to take warmth from that. It wasn't comfortable but it was better than nothing. The walls were stone hard cold and there were traces of blood on the floor. The cell bars were also hard metal and behind them stood two guardians.
I sat on the bed and thought over the situation. Okay, so someone snuck into my room, stole my stake-leaving no DNA-and staked the queen with it. But before Tatiana died she wrote a letter addressed to me, telling me that Lissa had a sibling-or half sibling-which means that she could be on the royal council.
Some footsteps broke me out of my concentration. I looked out and was surprised to see Lissa there. Her catching me by surprise was a rarity because of the psychic bond, one that always kept me aware of her presence and feelings but I was too situated in my problems that I didn't see her coming. The bond told me that she was worried about me and that she used compulsion on the guardians to let her in. I was supposed to be angry because she used compulsion but I was also relieved that she came.
She glanced at the guardians and was worried that she might get caught.
"Can I have some privacy please?" she spoke to the two guardians
"There is always supposed to be two guardians near the cell princess, I'm sorry."
She was mad but excused it as she did not have much time left to talk to me. Though the bond I knew that she came because she was worried about me but she was also hiding something but all I knew is that it is something good.
"How are you feeling? Are they …"she shot a dangerous look at the guardians in the hall. "Are they treating you okay?"
"I'm fine Lissa, you don't have to worry." I was lying to both of us but at least she didn't have to worry about me even more then she already is. "What's the good news?"Lissa blushed and smiled at me.
"I got you out" I didn't have enough time to process this but Lissa now opened up the bond to me so I could read it. When I finished, I couldn't believe it. Somehow Lissa had managed to compel the person in charge of my trail to let me out but with at least 3 guardians watching my every move.
"Lissa…" I was speechless. I would be out of this hell hole and into the free world…well, not free except for 3 guardians.
"Yeah, you can thank me later but now I need to know what happened." She turned to speak to the guardians. "Let her out, I have a note from Brian Ivashkov to let you know the situation" The guards didn't move at first but Lissa gave them the note and they were by my cell and unlocking it. Another guard, one I recognise, Mikhail joined them.
"Are you going to be okay with them for at least another hour?" Asked Lissa who was eager to get to a meeting that she was already late to.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. You go to that meeting, I'll catch you later and we can talk some more okay?"
"Okay" she went hurriedly towards the exit.
I was about to go to the cafeteria because I haven't ate since this morning but thought better of it and went towards Dimitri's room. I had to show him the note that Tatiana gave me. But I also needed to see him and explain.
