I know that there have been loads of fics done and lots of different theories done for the final book in the amazing Vampire Academy series. As I am so impatient and cannot wait until December so I thought I would give my own ideas :) I hope that you enjoy. I don't have a beta for any of my stories and would really be interested in working with one. If anyone is interested please message me. I will be honest and say that I don't know what to expect or what is expected from me so you would have to bare with me :)

Chapter 1

"I've given up on us. Love fades, mine has."Those words battered my brain as I was escorted from the Court after my hearing which had been to determine whether I should go to trial for the murder of Her Royal Highness Queen Tatiana Ivashkov.

I couldn't bare to look at Dimitri again for fear that the already broken pieces of my heart would shatter beyond all repair. I couldn't let him see just how much the words that he had uttered so vehemently in the church had crushed me. I refused to let them see me cry and was determined to at least try and put up a front that made them think that I was stronger than that.

Mikhail took control of the guards that were to escort me back to the holding cell that they were keeping me in. Ironically it was the same one that I had been stood outside of only a couple of days earlier feeling like I'd had my heart ripped out from my chest. I would have done anything to have been allowed to enter it then but now I wished with my whole heart and soul that I had never set eyes on it as it had brought me nothing but pain.

Walking back from the court back to the main building that housed the block of holding cells was a very humiliating experience, I had been placed in cuffs in the court room and was now surrounded by six Guardians including Mikhail

Because the actual courtroom wasn't a huge place many people had waited outside to hear if I would be made to stand trial or not. There were Guardians , Moroi and Dhampirs alike and they were all shouting mixed messages of support and other messages that were filled with so much hate that they hit me like a punch in the stomach. The barbs hurt so much that they were starting to make the nausea that I had already been feeling so much worse

"Don't listen to them Rose." Mikhail whispered down to me "they don't know you like I do, they don't know what you have been through to protect people like them and they don't know that you would give your life for one of them if it meant that they stayed safe."

I nodded my thanks to Mikhail not trusting my voice. The support that I had received and was still receiving was invaluable to me as he alone understood my feelings at the moment and the sheer magnitude of grief that was coursing through my body as though someone had died, although if I was to be honest with myself I would have felt better if they had. I would never be able to find the words to express to him how grateful I was for him continuous support.

We steadily worked our way towards the main building and I did my best to listen to the advice that Mikhail had given me and block out the noise and the insults that were still being shouted, I also had to fight hard to ensure that I wasn't pulled into lissa's head as I emotionally couldn't with that at this moment in time.

I had never felt so physically and emotionally vulnerable and if I was being totally honest with myself it scared the shit out of me, it scared me more than the thought of being convicted and locked up for a crime that I was most certainly innocent of.

We reached the main building and entered into a secure room, immediately four of the guardians that had escorted my back from the courthouse left through a door to the left of the desk that was in the lobby, leaving me with just Mikhail and a young dark haired guardian.

An older guardian was sat at the desk and he looked up at me with unconcealed dislike, I turned my face away unable to bare the look of hate that was clearly evident in hi eyes. He picked up a small phone on the desk and made a rapid call. "The prisoner is back and is ready to be escorted to ITS cell"

Huh what "its" cell, I felt tears well in my eyes but swallowed and blinked them back determined not to give the mean old bastard in front of me something more to gloat over.

A heavy door to the right hand side of his desk opened three new guardians appeared, the looked at me and gave me brief, subtle smiles which made me feel as though I was not so totally alone in all this and that I had people who believed in me.

Mikhail once again took a gentle grip on my arm to lead me back to my cell, we went back through the door that the new guardians had just entered through. I was guided down a long drab corridor, the walls painted a light khaki green. I think the purpose of it was to kill any hope that the prisoner had as there were no windows at any height to allow any natural light to enter.

I felt as though we had been walking that corridor forever when in reality it could only have been a few minutes at the most since we began our journey back. We came to another heavy security door that led to a stairwell that went either up or down. We began the slow decent down to the bowels of the earth and I stumbled, I couldn't help myself as I didn't have my arms free to steady myself.

"Careful there" a gentle, sympathetic and sincere voice said. I looked up to find the young dark haired guardian had come to my aid and along with Mikhail was guiding me down the stairs, His light blue eyes were determined to make sure that I didn't hurt myself. Between them they made sure that I had enough physical support to ensure that I didn't fall and cause myself some serious permanent damage.

We managed to get to the bottom of the stairs with no further incident and began to navigate our way down another corridor. This one appeared to be much shorter than the first but it was still painted in the same horrible Khaki green colour but it had the appearance of being much lighter thanks to the harsh, florescent strip lighting that was hanging high above us.

Upon reaching the end of the corridor we were once again met with a security door but this one was a lot more complicated, it had to be opened mountainously by two guards, one swiping a key card through the slot as the other typed in a code on the numeric keypad but it had to be perfectly timed. The two guardians in front of us entered the code and the key card and the door automatically swung outwards.

There in front of us set back into the far wall was a small bank of six cells that were going to be my home for the foreseeable future. I felt my heart sink as I took in once again my surroundings and took in more details than I had when I was first escorted down here.

I noticed that on the other side of the cells was a smaller bank of rooms that I assumed was the shower block, oh how I could kill for a shower right now but I wasn't going to ask for one. Not yet.

The guardians all moved to take up their posts, there were two that were guarding the initial door that we had just come through, another two were stationed on the desk that was pushed against the wall in the middle of the row of cells and then Mikhail and my other hero at the moment were to be stationed outside my cell itself.

Mikhail removed the cuff that had bound my hands together and gave me an apologetic look as I rubbed my wrists almost as though he was apologising for the tightness of them.

The door to my cell was open and unlocked and I walked into it with with my shoulders hunched and my head down, I felt devoid of emotions as I made my way to the small narrow bed that was pushed into the corner and totally numb as the bard were closed behind me and the only noise being the lock as it clicked into place.

I would love to know your views on this and will promise not to beg for reviews and hold people to ransom as that's not me. I will update as quick as I can with this, I'm lucky as I already have an idea of how I want this to go but I do have to say one thing, there will be lemons in it and if you are a Rose and Adrian fan then this isn't for you. I have nothing against him but I don't think he is right for Rose, don't get me wrong though it wont be easy for Dimitri either.

Waffle over now lol.
