"Papa?" my little girl asked with teas in her eyes.

"Yes my sweet." I ask as we were sitting down for dinner in my rooms at St. Basil's.

"Am I a freak Papa?" she asked.

Looking at her, and raising an eyebrow, "Now, why would you ask me that?"

"Be… be…. Because," she began, "Igor Zeklos said that I must be one because both my parents were dhamphir's." she looked over at her brother, "Then Ivan punched him."

Looking over at my son, I realize how much like his mother he truly was. Trying to suppress the smile that was forming on my face, "Ivan, why would you do that?" I asked.

"Cuz he made her cry and I got really really really mad!" he replied.

'Rose-logic,' I thought, 'Of course he would get the Rose-logic.' Sitting back in my chair, I said, "Classes will be over tomorrow, then it will be Christmas Break, and if I remember correctly," I added smiling, "there is two birthday's as well."

"Oh Papa," my little angel asked, "Please tell me we're going to see Grandma still?"

I nodded, seeing smiles light up their little faces. Changing the subject, "Where did we leave off last night?"

The smiles disappeared, "Mama was sentenced for murdering the Queen." Ivan replied solemnly…

…

Walking down the hallway lined with cells, I took my position outside Roza's cell. Ironically, I was the previous inhabitant of it. Blocking out the thoughts, I slightly turned my head to gaze inside. What was in front of me shocked me. My Roza, my poor sweet Roza, so skinny, and so pale. Turning to Mikhail, I ask, "Has she not been eating?"

With a sad smile, he looked over at me, "Oh, she's been eating, but…" he trailed off, looking down the hall.

The door at the end opened and the Princess walked though carrying a tray of food. Shock flushed across her face seeing me stationed down here. "Dimitri, what are you doing here?" she asked in a barely audible whisper.

"First shift." Was all replied, and realization hit her. I was reinstated as a Guardian. And as a cruel twist of fate, I was right back down here.

"I'm sorry you have to see her like this." Was all that she said before Mikhail unlocked the cell doors.

Looking back in the cell, I saw the Princess place the tray on the small table, and walk over to the unresponsive Rose. Touching her arm, Lissa lightly shook her, "Rose," she said, "It's time to eat."

Turning her head towards Lissa, she nodded and slowly rose from the bed. As she walked towards the table, Lissa had to keep her from falling over more than once. As soon as she sat down, her eye fell on the tray in front of her. Seeing all the food, she hastily started shoving it down her throat.

Lissa looked up at me, and I could see tears threatening to fall. All of a sudden, Rose started to dry heave, and Mikhail rushed past me with a pail. I was frozen; I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

After almost half an hour, she collapsed unconscious in the chair, and Mikhail carried her back over to the bed. Lissa knelt down beside her and placed her hands on Rose's stomach. I could almost feel the magic as she healed Rose.

Lissa stood up quickly and ran out of the room. The second I heard the door at the end of the hall click shut, Rose began to scream and thrash about. Rushing over to the bed, I grabbed her shoulders and held her down as Mikhail did the same with her legs. "How much long?" I ask.

He just shrugged. I nodded, leaning in closer I whispered in her ear, "Мое плохое сладостное Roza, как смог я всегда говорить вам те лож, я тебя люблю с полностью моим сердцем." (My poor sweet Roza, how could I ever tell you those lies, I love you with all my heart.)

Slowly, the screaming turned to whimpering, and Mikhail just stared at me, with his eyes wide. "I don't know how you are doing it, but don't stop." He paused, "She would stop eventually, but that wouldn't be for hours."

It pained me to see her like this, so I kept on whispering in her ear. After almost an hour, she stopped thrashing, and drifted into a peaceful sleep. Mikhail and I stood up and went back to our places outside the cell. "Have they gotten a doctor to see her yet?" I asked.

"Are you kidding." He replied, "It doesn't matter how much the Princess begs, they won't waste their time on the Queen's supposed murder." He took a big breath, "I Believe Prince Zeklos' exact words were 'She's gonna die anyway."

"What?" I exclaimed, "That's horrible."

He nodded before saying, "I hope her lawyer gets back soon."

"What do you mean?" I asked wondering why Rose was involved with Abe Mazur.

He looked back at Rose, "He left for Russia hours after they threw her back in here."

I knew what I had to do, "Excuse me for a minute." I said before heading to the other end of the hall. Pulling out my phone, I dialled the number that pained me to remember. After a few rings, a woman answered, "Hello?" my mother's voice asked.

"Yeva, please." I said, though it painful not to tell my mother that I was alive. This was more important.

"Who is this?" she asked with a worried voice.

"It doesn't matter. It's imperative that I speak with Yeva."

In the background, I could hear Karolina ask what was going on, but before she could reach for the phone, I heard it change hands, "I've been waiting for you to call me." My Grandmother said.

"You know?" I ask.

"Of course." She replied, "It was one of the possible outcomes."

"I see." I replied. "Have you noticed Zmey around at all?"

"Ah, yes in fact."

"I take it that you know of the situation here at Court."

She sighed, "I knew before the Snake told me."

"Is there anything you can tell me?" I ask knowing I would regret it.

"Ah Dimka, there is happiness for you, a great happiness, but there will be a great sadness. Cherish what you have while you can still keep it in your grasp."

In the background, I could hear screaming, and the faint sound of my mother crying and mumbling "It's true."

"I have to go." I said before shutting the phone. Staring at it in my hand, I let out a sigh. I know I'm gonna have to call my mother soon, but now wasn't the right time.

When it was dinner time, Lissa came back. We told her about what happen after she left. A light gleamed in her eyes before a scowl replaced it. "You… You…. You" she kept saying as her fists made contact with my chest, then burst into sobs.

My arms instantly reacted and wrapped around her. "Shh… I'm sorry Princess."

"Oh Dimitri." She said sniffling, "It's not my place to forgive you."

I nodded, knowing full well that as long as Rose was still in here, she wouldn't get better. After a repeat of earlier, I picked Rose up from the chair and carried her over to the bed. Before Lissa put her hands on Rose's stomach, both Mikhail and I got into position. I started whispering to her and motioned for Lissa to continue.

Just as Lissa was almost finished healing Rose, I noticed Hans was standing outside the cell. I motioned to Mikhail, and he turned. "I'm sorry Princess." Hans began, "The Council has reached their verdict." He paused. "They want her in the Court room in two hours."

Lissa stood up and moved to the door. "I have to call Abe." She said

"He, Lord Ivashkov, and Guardian Hathaway will be landing in an hour." Hans replied, before adding, "Make sure you two clean her up." motioning to me and Mikhail. Without another word, he turned and left us to our tasks.

Lissa left to get some clean clothes, and Mikhail went to get clearance for taking Rose to the showers. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms before sitting back down on the bed. As I began to rock her back and forth I said, "Oh Roza, I wish I know what was wrong with you."

"I will always love you." Rose mumbled in her sleep as a tear rolled down her cheek.

When Mikhail returned with some towels, we made our way to the showers. He turned to me and said, "As per-protocol, I have to lock you in there with her. Just knock when you're done."

I gave him a nod, and closed the door behind me. Placing her down on the bench, I knelt down in front out her. She was starring off into space. Putting my hands on her shoulders, I shook her while saying "Roza."

She turned her head, and focused her gaze on me. A tear rolled down her cheek again, and I couldn't take it anymore. Leaning in, I placed my lips on hers. Realizing then, that it truly was my fault she was like this, I had given her no reason to fight back. Pulling back, I said "Oh my sweet beautiful Roza, I am sorry, truly sorry for everything."

"Dimitri," she said softly, "I don't want to wake up."

I leaned in again, pulling myself towards her. She was kissing me back this time. I moved from her lips to her cheek and whispered, "I need you Roza, I need you to heal me."

Before I knew what was happening, all of our clothing had disappeared. As some point, one of us had turned the shower on. As out hips moved together, realization crossed her face, "Dimitri…" she said moaning my name, knowing full well this was real.

"Oh Roza. I love you." I said as I gave her everything I had.
