Stripped

A/N: Hi, this is a old fan fiction of mine. It was up on FF but it got token down in June 2012. I am slowly reposting the chapters and re-editing them. I am hoping that by the time the movie comes out I will have this story done. I am determined to get to thirty or more chapters.

Summary: The cabin scene didn't happen. The attack on the school did happen and Dimitri did turn into a Strigoi. Rose went after him like in Blood Promise and everything in spirit bound happened expect Dimitri saying "Love fades, mine has" he doesn't he says something else. Now, Rose is in jail for the murder of the queen, which she didn't do. But no one believes her. They also think that she tired to kill Lissa.

Prologue

The judge banged her grovel on the table to call order to the court. I sat down in my seat.

Guilty.

I was found guilty. Tears started to gather in my eyes. The judge cleared her throat and said "As the judge of the royal court, I hereby sentence you to jail until your extinction, which will be in two weeks."

The judge banged her grovel again. The coward cheered behind me. I turned and saw Lissa kissing Christian, tears were running down her cheeks. I had a feeling they weren't tears of sadness

.

I looked over next to them and my breath caught. Dimitri and Tasha were kissing.

I turned back to the front and saw the guardians come for me. I felt the tears flow down my cheeks as the guardians took me out the back door. Where was the bad-ass Rose Hathaway? I thought sadly. The Rose Hathaway everyone knew would never cry but she died when Dimitri had told her that she had made the whole relationship up in her head about them. She also died when her best friend said that she tried to kill her.

My heart felt so heavy in my chest. I couldn't wait for the two weeks to be up. I wanted to die. Death would be a blessing in this darkness. I wanted to be stripped from this hell hole once and for all.

But a part of me didn't want to die, it wanted to runaway. Far away. To be stripped from the life I have lived for the past eighteen years.

The guardians stopped at a bus that was waiting outside the door.

"Wait here!" snapped a bald head guardian. As if I would run with my hands tied behind my back. I leaned against the wall closest to me. I could admit now that I was scared to die. I wanted to runaway so bad right now. I had two weeks left. That's fourteen days. 336 hours. 34,560 seconds.

I slid down to the floor as my body gave out in exhaustion. I closed my eyes for a minute.

BOOM!

I was startled awake by the sound. I look wildly around me. I was only snoozing for about ten minutes. In that time the whole court was filled with strigois. Most of the buildings were on fire. I looked around for something to take off the cuffs with.

My eyes landed on the bald headed guardian. He was dead.

I made my way over and grabbed the keys from his pocket.

Once I was free I ran toward Lissa's room. Even though she treated me like shit, she was still my best friend.

On the way to her room, I killed ten Strigois. Yeah, I am a bad-ass fighter.

When I saw her room come into view, I saw Dimitri and Eddie fighting at least twenty Strigois. I ran to help them. They didn't notice me. One Strigois pushed me and I fell back into Lissa's room.

I saw her, she was frozen with fear. I killed the Strigoi and went to her. I grabbed her and dragged her out of the room. The only thought I had was that I had to get Lissa to safety.

We ran across the court, shouts and sobs could be heard all around. The sounds muffled as I pulled Lissa into the woods. When we were in deep enough I stopped. I was panting heavily.

I turned to Lissa. "Liss, are you okay?" I asked.

She blinked and looked at me like she didn't see me before. She started to shake.

"P-please don't hurt me, Rose." she said in a tiny voice as she backed away from me.

I gasped then I sighed. "Lissa-,"

I was cut off by Lissa running away from me. She. Ran. Away. From. ME!

I was shocked. "Lissa! Lissa!" I yelled as I ran after her. I wasn't running at my normal speed. I didn't want her to be more frighten of me than she already was.

As she ran pass a large she was grabbed by someone. "Lissa!" I cried, now running at full speed.

Two feet away from the tree a large figure stepped out from behind the tree. I didn't have time to stop. I crushed into the person. It was a man. I smelled a hint of aftershave and realized that it was Dimitri.

"Dimitri! Lissa needs help!" I shouted. He just looked at me.

"I don't need help! YOU DO!" said Lissa from my right. I turned and saw Christian holding her. I mistook him for a Strigoi. I opened my mouth to say 'sorry' but I felt a sharp pain in my side. I turned back to Dimitri.

I saw that he had stabbed me with a knife. Black dots formed in front of me. Dimitri withdrew the knife. I saw it was at least six inches long and three inches wide. The world was spinning as blood steeped out if the wound.

Dimitri leaned into my hear and whispered "I never loved you, you are a murdering bitch. Enjoy death! A slow painful death!"

With that he threw me on the ground and left with Lissa and Christian. They left me to die. A lone tear leaked out of my eye and slid down my cheek.

Why did he do that? Why did Dimitri do that? Did I really make up everything that happened between us?

I just laid there on the cold forest floor for who knows how long. I thought I would be dead by now but I was not. I slowly got up and walked away from court.

I turned around and saw the blood on the forest floor. If anyone would come looking for my body they would think that either a wolf got me or Strigoi got me. Either way they would believe that Rosemarie Hathaway was dead.

And she is. From now on I am Rose Sanders. As I walked farther away from court, I felt all that had happened to me for the past eighteen years strip away.

A/N: okay, that's the prologue. I will start working on chapter one. Please review. Also tell me if I have spelling errors or any kind of errors. Thank you.
