Chapter One

Loves fades, mine has.

Those four words held all the power in the world. They killed. How could my Russian god not love me, I mean one person can't say after everything we went through that he didn't love me. I was sitting in my cell replaying those worlds over and over again, yet I still came up empty, maybe it was a Russian thing, or just a Dimitri thing. My first thought was when I stepped into the cell it was something along the lines OMG I'm sleeping in Dimitri's bed. It was kinda true he'd been the last to sleep in it, but that was knocked down a few notches when I found out how freaking uncomfortable it was. It was also utterly boring in this cell if I wasn't under arrest for treason, then I would say this was the most crappiest day of my lift my if being honest which I was going to be I would say I've had a pretty crap couple of weeks, every since Dimitri said he didn't want to see me.

Argh I so needed to stop thing of Dimitri. I'd been so distracted lately that I had yet check on Lissa, I knew she was safe, she had Christian, Abe, Adrian, Eddie, Mia and another certain person looking after her. I also aware of her emotions, there was the constant worry every since I was arrested, she was tired today, moody. I popped into Lissa head I needed to see how she was doing and honestly I missed the outside world. She was with Christian, Eddie and Mia, and they were in her room. They were talking naturally about me! Gotta feel the love from someone.

"God I miss her already and its only been 2 days!" Lissa confessed.

"Lissa, this is badass Rose Hathaway, I'm sure she miss you two, but try not to worry cause it probably no help to Rose at the moment, she needs time after everything and she probably no doubt too worried about you at the moment to think of some answers." Christian said comforting her. They're hands were intertwined.

"There's been no news yet as to weather we are allowed to see her, apparently there a problem cause they actually thing someone might break her out, I mean she is supposably a dangerous criminal, and you know what happen to the last criminal being a certain Victoria, how two teenage girls broke him out, I think the courts a bit sacred of it happening again." Eddie said sarcastically.

"God like anyone with half a brain would suspect you and Rose, I mean come on half the Moroi are dumb and actually believe your just an awesome social person and the Queens little princess, no one would actually believe Rose would be able to talk you into breaking out Victor of what he done to you and her." Mia said.

"Maybe we could do it again you guys I'll infused rings and we can break her out-" Lissa started to say but was cut off buy the door knocking.

I so didn't want to hear where this conversation was going; knowing all of them well, I didn't doubt that they wouldn't try it, because they would. The others went silent while Lissa went to open up the door; it was Adrian, and dear god Dimitri. WTF social event much?

"Adrian have you visited Rose yet, how is she? Does she have any ideas of how to get out of this, because I got one idea and it's not going don't too well there still some massive wholes, and I could really use Rose's advice?" Lissa said as soon as Adrian stepped foot into the door.

Dear god, that girl was seriously gonna try break me out, I gotta stop the physio, as much as I wanted out I wasn't going to let any of them help me that way, especially not her, I loved her too much, and this was my mess, and I already had a plan, she would be furious to find out when she wasn't part of it, but hey neither were the others, I've already been enough trouble for them.

I could tell Adrian was taking the news harshly, I mean his auntie just died and supposably his girlfriend was to blame. Through the bond I could smell achole and he'd also been smoking.

"Not yet cousin, I haven't had time, ill see her tonight promise." Adrian said he sound dead beat. I wasn't angry at him I didn't need him to worry about me.

Through the bond I could tell she was a bit angry, because he yet to see his girlfriend, but she was she was upset for him as well, she knew what it felt like to lose someone. But Dimitri broke that little tension that was being to arise between Lissa and Adrian, thank god someone had a brain, but this is Dimitri, he always had a brain and he was always so sexy and in control. OMG should not be think like that Rose your mad at him, stay mad, remember what he said. I chanted to myself knowing I wouldn't.

"Lissa, Abe's going to see Rose in twenty mins, apparently Rose's wanted to talk to him." Dimitri said. How did he know that? Lissa turned so she was full facing him. Those brown eyes held so much force and I knew if it was me there in person and not through the bond I would have cried from just the look alone, I could see that he was worried, for me or her I had no clue, which irritated me why did the badass Russian have to worship her. I could also see that he was almost as exhausted as Adrian.

"Has he found anything that might help, with the trail, to show the rest of the court she not guilty? And what does she want to talk to Abe about?" Lissa shot question like they were bullets out of a gun. Seriously the girl needed to chill for one minute.

"None of which would prove her innocents. And what she wants to talk to him about I was not informed." Dimitri said from the tone of his voice I could tell he didn't like not knowing. Ha-ha suck that Russian God you can't know all my secrets.

They all lounged around in the room, settling into silence, apparently they were waiting for Abe to be finished with me so they could know how I was going. Lissa drifted towards Christian and sat next to him while he murmured soft thing trying to comfort her.

"Rose."

I came back to my cell and became aware that it was Mikhail voice who was calling me; he had a worried look in his eyes when I met them.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yer as fine as can be, is Abe here?" I asked.

"Yes he's in the investigation room waiting for you, we will give you two some privacy to talk okay. There will be a load of guardians outside the room though." Mikhail replied, he told me the other day that he knew I was innocent, and supposably half the guardians down here thought so too. It was sweet to know that I had a lot of people believe I was innocent.

"Okay Thanks Mikhail." I replied as I hoped up from the bed I was lying on, and moved to the front of the cell, seriously how did Dimitri sleep while he was in here it was so uncomfortable.

When Mikhail open the cell door he gave me an apologize look and said. "Sorry Rose but these are gonna need to go on." I knew it wasn't his fault he was only following orders, but it stilled annoyed me. I shallowed down the angry and let him place the hand coughs on me.

When we got the room Mikhail open the door, in the Abe was sitting waiting in a chair, as I go to take my seat, Mikhail closed the door and left Abe and me alone.

"So Daddy, I would asked if you found any evidence but I already know that answers." I said sarcastically.

"Well little one you didn't leave me with much did ya? Abby said matching my sacrarium. I felt more like the Rose Hathaway I had since I was put back in the cell.

I mentally bit my lip, I knew if I gave any emotion Abe would know I was hiding something, well I saw it a just keep a piece of information from him, I was ask not to share. I knew I had evidence, the note I had gotten from Ambrose that was from the Queen, it's not that I didn't trusted Abe I trusted him with my life it's just I was still a little confused about what to do. So far I figured out I needed Sydney's help. That was as far I got.

"Dad if I asked you to grab someone could you bring them to me please its important." I asked I knew Abby would.

"Who do you want me to grab for you Rose?"

"Sydney."

"I'll call her straight after and she'll be here tomorrow morning okay Rose." Abe said. "How are you are you okay? Lissa worried, well I would say worried is a understatement of the century, poor Christian." Abe chucked at the last part.

"Old man I'm locked in a cell, with not more than a bed and walls, I think I'm as okay as I could be. And tell Lissa and the gang when you go to see them if they try anything stupid like they were talking about before Adrian and Dimitri showed up I'll literally kick her ass, and there's too, tell her she shouldn't worry and she needs to take a chill pill seriously." I replied.

Abe chucked at that. "Sure thing Rose, is there anything else?"

"Tell Dimitri and Adrian to seriously get some sleep, I'm locked up in a cell and I still sleep better than them." That wasn't a lie, but wasn't the truth either, I have had trouble sleeping, I personally blamed it on the Russian god and the bed.

"And before Adrian even thinks of coming to visit he'd better sleep. I know he wont listen to me so can you make him listen to you please?" I asked knowing he wouldn't listen but hey a Dhampir got to try right.

Abe rose and headed out, and in walked Mikhail to take me back to my cell.

one hour later after I'd been for a shower, thank luckily it was Mikhail guarding while I had a shower, it's not that I didn't trust guardians in general, I just didn't trust the others not too look, I got it where ever I went even if I was taking off my jumper or something like that. I was back in my cell and decided to slip into Lissa's head, surprisingly they were still waiting for Abe, which would make sense I guess, he had to call Sydney and then arrange flights and tell the courts to let a human into the court I guess. Lissa was next to Christian, and the others were spread out watching a movie trying to pass some time I guess. They all looked board waiting, Dimitri looked deep in though. Adrian was trying to hard not to fall asleep, poor thing had to be so tired. Mia and Eddie were waiting patiently quietly talking every now and then.

"Jezzz where is Abe"? "lissa sighted, she was worried why Abe was taking so long so in general that worry lead to me and then that lead her to wanting to know what I wanted to talk to Abe for. Argh hopefully Abe's words would settle her down. It was Dimitri who answered her, he sound exhausted but the look in his eye told me he was anxious.

"Abe won't be long Lissa, Rose probably needs him to run a few messages, or Abe could have gotten caught up, he won't be too long."

" Wonder what she wanted to talk to him about, this is Rose she doesn't call for someone unless it important?"lissa wondered.

"trust me lissa I know."Dimitri said. It shocked me for a few minute. While lissa went silent again. A few minutes there was a knock on the door, Lissa literally ran to the door, it was Abe. Thank god I don't think the rest of them could take she anxiously much longer.

"Afternoon princess."Abe greeted.

"Abe," she greeted him the was a load of hi's and hey's from the rest of them as lissa and Abe entered the room.

"How is she?"Lissa ask as she sat back down. I was mildly shocked to see shed wait that long before firing the questions.

Abe looked at all of them starting from Adrian first and ending with Dimitri then Lissa. "She says she okay, there still enough Rose in her to make sarcastic comments , so she still Rose."Abe chuckled.

There were a few laughs coming from Lissa, Christian, Mia and Eddie. Dimitri smiled my favourite smile I'd rarely seen, Adrian looked kind of worried probably thinking I was crazy with some of lissa black magic again.

"Did she says anything?" Lissa asked as the chuckle died down.

"oh boy did she, she said the boys should sleep cause they look like could use a few hrs sleep, she also said to Adrian that you can go see her when she you've slept, and she told me that if u didn't I'd seriously have to make you."Abe said. Good old dad, must have though the same thing that Adrian wouldn't take me seriously enough.

"Anything else?" lissa asked.

Abe chucked for a minutes and repeats what I told him. "yeh she said lissa and I guess you three." he points to Mia, Christian and Eddie. "if they try anything stupid like they were talking about before these two got here," and points to Dimitri and Adrian. "She will literally when she gets out kick your ass after a very verbally conversation after she gets out." Abe chucked again.

Dimitri arches his eyebrow, man I seriously suck I still couldn't do it. Oh well it made him look that much sexier and badass, I remember somewhere in the back of my head I was still mad at him.

"What where you talking about before we got here lissa?"Dimitri asked. Adrian sat up and looked intrigued as too what would triggered that kind of a response from me.

Lissa bit her lip she wasn't sure whether to tell or not. The others chucked at my threat knowing they would be in less trouble that Lissa would be because she would be the leader of the group because she only had the magic to ake it happen.

It was Christian who spoke up. "I think it was something along the lines of getting her out of the cell."

"oh." Was all Dimitri and Adrian both said at the same time.

"Abe what did Rose want if you don't mind me asking?" lissa asked, while she stole a look at Dimitri, who looked up a Abe anxiously.

Abe seemed to pondered wondering if I would get angry if he told them. "She wants me to grab Sydney on the alchemist she meet while she was in Russia."abe informed the others.

Lissa knew about Sydney I told her about her and so did Adrain, but the rest of them were so lost I'd was yet to tell them I went hunting with a human friend by my side and she'd clean up my mess.

"Sydney? Seriously? What for?" Lissa

"Sorry guys but who's Sydney and what a Alchemist?" Christian pipped in. Sight that kid had sooo much to learn.

Lissa looked at the rest of them to see them all confusion writing all over there face, all excepts for Adrians, and of course Abe's. She turned back to look at Abe to make sure she wasn't mistaken she had the wrong Sydney. Pretty sure I only knew one Sydney here Lissa. How blonde do ya get sister?"

" Sydney's human." Abe nodded and took over form lissa.

"Alchemist is a human who help protect our world, from other humans you could say, hey clean up the dead bodies of the strigoi. And while Rose was over in Russian she went on a kind of hunting spring, so I had Sydney accompany her." Abe informed the others.

"But why does Rose want Sydney what can she do, she's human no punt intendent just saying you could probably do more than Sydney could?" Liss snapped. She was a little jealously that I would ask for Sydneys help and not any of theres.

"That I don't know if Rose wants to tell me she will tell, but I trust both Rose and Sydney, she'll be here in the morning so I got to go and arrange some more things so Rose can see Sydney."Abe said starting to stand up.

"are they letting Rose see people?" Lissa ask with hope know all jealous vanished.

"Yes princess they are." Abe said and with that he left.

With that I slipped out of Lissa head, and though about how Sydeny was going to help get me out and find lissa sibling.

There ya go! Tell me wat ya think.
