ROSE'S POV

Standing behind the bars, I didn't know what I could do. I kept tatiana's note in my sock, so nobody could take it from me. I had to find my way out of here, I don't know how she died, and I can't say i'm all to sad about it. The only regret is, not getting any more information I might have been able to from her. She didn't really tell me much, only that I had to find Lissa's illegitimate brother to bring her to throne. I had no way out of this place, but I do have a plan to find a way.

I yelled out to the guards "please, bring me demitri. I have to see him, please. Just one more time!" they hesitated, but found no harm in going to find him. There wasn't much I could do behind bars, but they don't know what demitri can be capable.

Another thing I found out since he came back, he'd still do anything to protect me. He jumped in between the guards sent to imprison me before, and I know he'll help me get out of here this time. I waited, for about 10 minutes. Until demitri came, with his sad, sad eyes, but a relieved expression. I loved his eyes...his hair...his body. It took me a second to take it all in, I loved him more than anything, but before I could linger my thoughts on this moment for hours, I had to take care of business. "roza..." he breathed. I let my eyes hint that I was going to tell him something private, but it couldn't happen here. Instead, I handed him the note, which I placed up my sleeve while the guards weren't paying attention. He looked at me, confused, but understood we couldn't talk about it here. We made small talk, just so the guards wouldn't think anything suspicious.

"I'm sorry," demitri said. I gave him a confused look, what would he be sorry about? "I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you. From myself, from the guards. I'm so sorry, and you'll get through this. I know you didn't do that to the queen, and I'll find a way to prove it." he stood tall, looking confident. I couldn't tell if he actually believed it, but I knew he would try. I knew he loved me, he had to. There was no way our feelings for each other could have just 'faded.'

"I know you will," showing him my faith in him. He put his hand though the bars and put a stand of loose hair behind my ear. I smiled, missing his touch. He loved my hair, nothing could change that. He walked away with that, he always knew how to make an exit that made me wonder. I paced around the room, hoping demitri can get me out of here. If I can just find the other dragamire, then all of this will go away, i'm sure all of this will go away and I'll be let free. He'd find a way.

DEMITRI'S POV

As I sat in my bed, I grasped the note she gave me. Debating, whether or not I should read it. Should I just run? I hurt her so much. Physically, emotionally, I'll never be able to get over it. As a strigoi, I wanted to do so many bad things to her. I did some bad things too, horrible things. I hate thinking about it, I grimace to myself, how could I do that to the woman I love? I should run, run away from my problems, run away from her so I could never do something like that to her. I can't though, I can't move. I love her, she won't give up on me, she'll give me another chance, she's already tried, but I rejected her. I'll try again, and I'll make it work. Nothing will come between us, I won't let it.

I slowly open the note. To Rose? From the queen? Rose needs to get out of there. Valissa actually has a brother, illegitimate, but it's enough to bring her to the throne. The queen knew she'd be killed, but she didn't know rose would be framed. And now I have to get her out. Not without help though.

I'll be trying to update at least once a week, but since I just started getting into the story I might update a little faster to start ^.^
