Hey everyone! I loved Spirit Bound so much I read all 489 pages the day it came out. Crazy huh? So ever since then I have been dying to read Last Sacrifice and considering the release date is months away..I'll just write it myself. :) First Fan-fic story for me but I promise not to disappoint. I want plenty of reviews or I will not update quickly.

Chapter One:[Catch a tiger by it's toe]
They execute traitors. Over and over, I thought about the reality of those words and the more I thought about it the more they sunk in. I was going to die. My life has done nothing but spiraled downward in the past two years. I couldn't help but wonder when was my luck going to change. When will I finally get control of my own life? The only answer I came up with was more than likely...never.
I sat up on my cot, placing my head in my hands and sighed deeply. Life sucks then you die, whoever said that was exactly right. I've sat in my cell only a week but its felt so much longer. The only thing I've had to do is think and that was not exactly my idea of fun. The more I thought, the more hurt built up and the darkness took over and not to mention sitting in Dimitri's cell didn't exactly easing my heart throb.
I sat almost an hour unmoved until my back was basically screaming in protest of being in the same position for so long. I raised my head and stretched, while taking in the bland and unchanging scenery; the grungy stone walls, gray bars, and five guardians staring straight ahead with masked expressions plastered on their faces. I felt bad for them, I'm sure they were just as miserable as I was. It must be around lunch time because ,like clockwork, I heard Lissa screaming beyond the gray door, at the receptionist to let her in, but as usual her request was denied. Poor Lissa. I could feel how much she desperately longed to see me and to be honest I missed her just as much, so I used my opportunity to slip into her head.
To say she was pissed is putting it to kindly, she turned from the lady at the front desk after being rejected for the hundredth time and literally stomped down the walk way where Christian was waiting anxiously. He eyed her and from the way she was stomping and clenching her fists he already knew she didn't get in...again. "No luck huh?"
She glared at him slightly but her face faltered and her expression soften. " They told me no! I'm so sick of that lady! Why won't they let me see her? I swear the next time I go up there I'm going to have you set her hair on fire until she lets me in that stupid door." Her lip quivered and her eyes began to fill with tears as Christian pulled her into his arms, "I just miss her so much, and I know she needs me in there."
A tear slide down her cheek but Christian caught it before it fell, he sighed. "I know you miss her, and I'm sure she misses you too, I'm sure she is watching you and knows how exactly how you feel."
She sniffled. I felt her pain slowly decrease to a dull ache. He was good for her,if I did die, he would be the key to her sanity. She thought silently, Rose, if you're in there I won't stop until I see you and I miss you so much. We are going to get you out of there. I don't care what the consequences are, I'm not going to let you die. I could feel her determination building. They rounded the corner and there leaned against the entryway was Adrian. I felt a glimmer of happiness to see him finally. Love grows. I was really trying to let mine grow for him. He does not deserve all of the pain I've put him through but every time I tried to let go Dimitri popped in my head.
As they approached, He dropped his cigarette and smiled. "Those bastards still didn't let you in?"
She sighed, "Nope, the lady still says Rose is not allowed any visitors except for her lawyer. Ugh. Stupid bitch, The only power she has is the desk she sits behind."
Adrian and Christian let out a small laugh at her childish tirade and a small smile spread across her face. Adrian smirked, " We will get in whether she lets us or not. I need to see her.. I think I may pop in to her dreams tonight."
Lissa sighed in frustration, "I wish I could figure out how to dream walk and I would try to visit her too." Christian squeezed her shoulder slightly.
"Lis, you will figure it out. It probably isn't the easiest thing to achieve, like healing is a challenge for Adrian. You'll learn with time." He smiled down at her and I felt her heart skip. Their love was back and as strong as ever. He kissed her forehead and Adrian cleared his throat.
"Well Abe says he wants to talk to us tonight. I have a feeling he is up to something. He going to see Rose then meet us in Lissa's room after."
Lissa felt hopeful, "Maybe he's got a plan to get her out of there. Dimitri will want to be there too."
Adrian's smirk turned into a grim line. "Oh goody. well...on that note I'll talk to you love birds later." He winked and sauntered away. I could tell that Dimitri's presence was not going to be something Adrian would be looking forward too and neither was I. His words played across my mind Love fades, Mine has. I couldn't help but feel the same stab of rejection that haunted me so many times before. I flinched and pulled out of Lissa's mind.
A older guardian with a receding hairline named Micheal was waving his hands in front of my face. Oh boy. Lunchtime. He smirked at my expression, "You must be going insane, I was trying to get your attention for almost ten minutes. I brought you lunch. It doesn't look very appetizing but if its any consolation I brought you my left over cookie." He smiled briefly and continued. " And if my cookie doesn't bring you joy, you'll be happy to know most of us don't think you killed the queen, you're crazy but not that crazy."
I attempted a smile. My voice was coarse due to lack of any communication. "Sorry, I sometimes do that, and thank you for the cookie and for not thinking I'm a complete I think that cookie is probably all I'll be able to stomach, the last time I tried to eat the food they offered...I spit it out all over one of the guard's face." I mused. It served her right for being the one to basically toss me in here. "She hasn't been on guard duty since."I added.
He let out a laugh and I saw a few of the guards behind him crack a smile too. So they do move... His face turned sympathetic. " Well the next time I deliver, I'll bring you a sandwich and some neosporn too." He glanced down at my knuckles.
I smirked. "So you heard about me beating the shit out of the wall huh?"
His smile grew wider, " Well Stan did tell me you were not exactly all smiles when they put you back in here after the trial. He was pretty tickled really. He must like you. Which is abnormal." I nodded in response, he looked down at his watch and slapped his knee. "Well duty calls, I'll see you around."
I waved as he walked away. I looked down at the bowl that can only be described as shitty goop, made a face, and pushed it as far away from me as I could. I didn't give the cookie a second look when I practically shoved most of it in my mouth. I laid down awkwardly, semi satisfied, and thought about the note that still was in my right pocket. I needed to get out of here and find Lissa's sibling before it was to late. I was just about to nod off to sleep when good old Abe walked through the door. He walked confidently towards me in his usual attire just a different flashy scarf.
He sternly looked at the guards and barked at them to let him in my cell, they hesitated but they did anyways. He sat on the edge of my cot and smiled his devilish grin. "Darling, You look like hell. I would ask you what you have been doing but I think I have a pretty good idea." He paused as he eyed the bowl of goop. "Is that really the food they are serving you in here?" He face twisted into one of pure disgust. "I will change that don't worry and I will have new clothes and a hot shower waiting for you soon enough" He began to mutter to himself, "Bastards are practically poisoning her, We will see about that." In a way, I was touched at his attempt of fatherly concerns for his daughter but we needed to get down to business.
"That's all great but Zmey, what the fuck are you planning on doing about this?" The darkness was leaking out of me but I really didn't have time for games I need to get out of here and this man was my only option.
He turned to the guards "I want some privacy with my daughter! Get-out." The guards looked taken aback, one was about to question him but the look on my father's face was deadly and they all marched quietly out the door. He turned back to me and his face quickly changed back to the devious look I know so well. "I already told you what I plan on doing-getting you the hell out of here and we are doing it tonight." I was about to protest but he held up a finger to shush me and I snapped my jaw quickly shut. "And I will tell you why...They are lessening your security due some recent Strogoi attacks close by." He winked.
I caught on, "You?"
He nodded and continued, " You will be down to five guards instead of twelve. I'm going to ask for your friends' help. Although I am a genius I can't do it all alone. I'm not going to tell you how you are getting sprung out of here...or when. Just be ready for anything. Understand?"
I nodded slowly and narrowed my eyes. I needed to tell him about the letter because I didn't plan on hiding out the rest of my life. I think I can trust him after all he has saved my ass multiple times now. "I need to show something to you but like your plan, this is for you to know only. It might be my way to freedom and I don't need anyone fucking it up. I trust you but so help me God, I will be the one busting your kneecaps if something goes wrong." I sarcastically added, "Understand?"
He looked anything but smoothed his scarf and said " me."
I took the folded note out of my pocket and handed it to him. He looked up at me a few times as he unfolded it. After a few minutes he finally finished reading it and handed it back to me. "It's going to be a bitch to do but we will figure out how to find this kid." His brow narrowed in frustration.
I looked at him very sternly, " Do not tell Lissa." We were running out of time.
He put his hand on my shoulder, "Remember what I said kid, be ready..and by the way don't go peeping into Lissa's head for answers tonight. Be patient and trust your old man." With that he got up and walked out the door. Easy for him to say. Patience is a virtue for everyone else except me.
The guards went back to their posts against the wall and I sat thinking about what could he possibly have cooked up. Maybe an hour or more later, a unhappy guard came in with a huge platter of food. Poor guy he looked like he got the blunt of Zmey's anger. He glared at me and grumbled, "When you're done eating you'll be taking a shower and your father left you some clothes." He finished his sentence on a sour note and walked away. One of the guardians chuckled while the others smirked. I looked up at them and realized two of the guardians were the men I talked to with Dimitri the day I went to trial.
I smiled at them, "Looks like it didn't turn out the way I planned, did it?
The two guards laughed and the one that I spoke to at the restaurant said, "Yeah, it definitely didn't work out the we all thought. You and Dimitri sure did put up a fight that day." The other guardian let out a deep chuckle. "We thought you two were going to take down the whole damn guard but anyways I'll let you get back to your..uh...feast."
"We probably would have, but if you want any of this I will definitely share,my father is persist." I laughed in what felt like forever. They smiled but declined. So I started at one side of the platter and worked my way to the other. I never have been so hungry in my life. By the time I was done I was absolutely stuffed. I patted my stomach with total satisfaction.
The guard that brought me the platter returned and unlocked my cage and handcuffed me as we walked up the stairs to a room that was completely empty. I had twelve guards standing outside the door while I showered. If I wasn't so happy I would have been extremely creeped out that there were that many people waiting outside of the bathroom door but as soon as the hot water hit my skin I was in complete bliss. I would have to find a way to majorly thank Zmey later. After about an hour long shower and running the water cold I got out and quickly put on the outfit that was picked out for me and to be honest Abe didn't do half bad. It was just a plain black tank top with a gray throw over hoodie and my favorite pair of blue jeans. How he knew so much about me and what I wear was beyond me but I might have to even buy him a new scarf for all of this.
I was practically flying high from the luxury until I was back behind the bars of my cell. I decided to lay down and wait. My guards slowly went down to three watching me directly with one outside the door and one at the reception's desk it wouldn't be to long before I would be getting out of here. I began singing to myself quietly a version of 99 bottles of beer on the wall. "Five guards against the wall, Five on the wall, take one down and kick him around, five guards against the wall..."
Out of no where I saw my dad walk through the gray door but his expression was off. He approached the bars and the guardians learned quickly to open it or he would go off the handle. The door stayed open this time when he sat down, he looked deeply in my eyes and I knew immediately this was not my father. It was Dimitri. My heart ached and leaped at the same time.
The corner of his mouth showed a hint of a smile as he rubbed the back of his hand against my cheek. I leaned toward his touch. he put his mouth next to my ear and whispered softly, "Roza, It's time."
