Last Sacrifice
Prologue
I sat, staring aimlessly at the wall for hours, counting the bricks that were a yellowy sandstone colour, words replaying in my mind, faces appearing, faces of friends, of family, of loved ones. Dimitri. I sigh with an ache in my chest, the one word that could make me falter, the one person that I would love until I died which looked to be quite soon by the way my luck was going. First my boyfriend and mentor had got turned strigoi then we turn him back into a normal Dhampir like me but he wants nothing to do with me and says he doesn't love me. The most unimaginable thing is happening now; the royals Moroi have accused me of killing the queen bitch Tatiana. There's evidence that showed I "killed" her. Think about it, why would I be that stupid to leave my, my own stake in her chest. Then thinking about all this just hurt. I curled up in a ball and started sobbing. I once accepted my death when I threw myself off the bridge to save myself from becoming a strigoi and from one strigoi in particular, Dimitri. There it was his name again. Everywhere I look I see him, in my mind and I think I'm starting to go crazy. I must look terrible, red & puffy eyes from crying, yes I admit it. Well who could blame me with what I'm dealing with? 'Stop it Rose, you have no one but yourself to blame for this. You got on the queens bad side, and now look what people think of you. White trash stuck in a jail cell.' I sobbed until no more tears could come. You would probably find me with my head tucked in my lap, my hair all messy and tangly, streaks of mascara rolling down my face and a broken heart that no one could fix and that was how exactly Dimitri found me.
