To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless-it will chang

Chapter one
How could they accuse me off killing the queen? I mean sure we had our differences but still it was obvious I was being framed. I mean would I really leave my stake in her heart? No I wouldn't and they should know that but they're looking for a quick answer, As usual.
Someone wants to get rid of me. They want to get rid of rose Hathaway for good and in front of the whole moroi and dhampir world. The question is who.
Or wait could it be someone framed me to be executed to hurt lissa. Maybe someone who has a grudge against her or her family, maybe both. Or could they want to hurt Adrian by killing me and his aunt. Or maybe someone has a grudge against Dimitri and they knew we use to be lovers. But that was a long time ago and he no longer loves me. But I still love him.
Dimitri, I love him so much. He's so beautiful and lethal. Strong and graceful. But he no longer loves me the same. Love fades… mine has… Those were his words.
"Rose," my head snapped up suddenly to see my father.
"What do you want? I thought I wasn't allowed visitors while I'm in here?" I said looking down not wanting him to see the tears in my eyes.
"You're not but I can do whatever I have lots of connections. And I'm here to get you out of here before the trial because they have already decided you were to be executed and I'm not going to lose my daughter right after I just got to meet her. And your mother and everyone else can't lose you neither especially lissa" he said stepping towards the bars and pulling the keys to my sell out of his suit jacket.
"We don't have much time until the guards wake up. Dimitri and my guardians along with your mother knocked them out and their waiting in an S.U.V outside. Lissa, Adrian, Christen, Mia, Ambrose and his aunt are in the other S.U.V up by the gates." We hurried up the stairs and out the door just as one of the guardians woke.
We speed out of their like bats out of hell and all I could do was think about how wonderful it is to be out of that cell.
