I know that you might have been expecting a sequel to Sanity but after reading spirit bound I decided that I had to write a fanfic for it…I will try my best not to mix the two even though this is clearly not a christianxrose story. It's just something to get started for now, if you like, it I'll continue but Ya have to review and say so.

Epiphany

"What?" I asked dumbstruck. Had he just said what I thought he did, that if found guilty I would be executed?

"Rose that is something that I do not want to repeat and since I know you heard me…" Abe's voice trailed off as if he were only just thinking about what that meant.

"Uhhuh and so how in the hell am I going to prove that I didn't do this from a jail cell?"

"We will talk about it later but you will be fine…I promise"

"You promised that this wouldn't go to trial old man, and here I am"

"Trust me"

Those words would have normally brought comfort to anyone but for some reason the comfort wouldn't come.

"It's funny you should mention that old man because lately there hasn't been one man that I could count on" I said flicking my eyes towards Dimitri who yeah fought for me but didn't love me or so he claimed.

"That is the least of your troubles right now." Abe said sternly following my gaze.

"Alright Hathaway say goodbye to your lawyer." one of the guardians said handcuffing me. I knew that this was coming but for some reason the fear didn't hit me as hard until I felt the cool metal around my wrist. It seemed like the whole room had gotten quiet during the event because I could hear the clicking of the cuffs as the squeezed tight to my skin ensuring that there was no escape. I could feel lissa's tears without even looking at her. I didn't want to that in it's self would have made me panic more that I felt I needed to. There was certainly panic in me though and as the guardian began to turn me around to leave the courtroom the opposite way. Away from my family and towards the doorway that the criminals leave through it hit me full blast.

"No" I gasped and found myself resisting against the guardian.

"Move your feet Hathaway."

"I…no I didn't do it, I swear I wasn't her favorite but I wouldn't kill her."

"I said move" he said elbowing me in my back.

"I…didn't…do it" I said elbowing him back, just as I did three more guardians came to his aid almost beating me in the court room.

"Three against one very handicapped girl, which hardly seems fair." I said trying to cover my fear.

"Rose just go your not going do yourself any good fighting them." Dimitri spoke up. Wow the first time he talks to me without my prompting and it's to tell me to give in to a crime I didn't commit.

"Great, I love the support you guys" I spoke up to anyone who'd listen.

"What do you want us to do rose, you know you'd beat yourself up if we got in trouble for helping you. There's still a chance that you could get off." said Eddie.

"I…what? I'm going to die and you think there is a chance I could get off, they want me gone Eddie, they know I didn't do it but they won't listen to reason they want me gone." I was now in hysterics. However, that was all that I had time to say before I was literally speared to the ground. Pain coursed through my vain much like the fear had. I couldn't breathe due to having the air knocked out of my lungs. But I didn't need much air to surrender I guess.

"Are you going to go or do we have to actually knock you out?" a tall guarding said rising to his feet. He looked very thick in a muscular way and I was suddenly not surprised I had still had little wind to talk with.

"Fine" I said as they helped me to my feet. We were still for a moment probably so the guardians could get themselves together. I took advantage of the pause and caught my breath to speak. "Abraham Mazur you better find some way to get me out of here, and if you don't believe me I will."

"Rose that's not smart."

"I'm counting on you old man. Please don't let me down." I said, as I was drug away from the courtroom. I couldn't believe it. Part of me felt as if I were watching it from a different point of view anyone but mine. Had it been any one of my friends in this position I would have done everything in my power to keep them safe. I would have objected to everything, but instead they stayed quiet. I risk my life for them all the time and when I need them the most, the sit but quietly watching me get drug away. Not even Adrian who swears that he I am his drug did nothing. Talk about epiphany.
