Chapter 1
Sitting in this jail cell isn't that bad. I mean, I'm never in it because I stay with Lissa all the time. Scratch that, most the time. Since her and Christian got back together they spend alot of time together, and some of that time is used for... thing I really dont want to see.
But, today, is horrible. Today is my trail. Abe has been working to get me out, so we'll see if he has any limits. And ofcourse, if i do Make it through this, i still have to worry about Finding the other Dragimor, where Victor got off to, and even though I promised myself I was through with him, Demitri. He told me his love for me fadded, but then as i was being arrested he showed such fierce protection over me that I dont know what to think any more. I know one thing though. My life is a living Hell.
"Guardian Hathaway, its time". Said My favorite gaurd, the only one who didn't whisper about me or stare at me with acusing eyes. I folled him and two others to the court doors, where My father was waiting, smiling so big it looked like it hurt. ''So, You think this'll end good?" I asked, hoping that the smile didn't mean he was High. "Of course, if you leave it to me. That means no Rude iteruptions." Great. We'll just see about that.
You probably know how a trail works, so I won't bore you with the un important stuff. After listening to a bunch of bull, It was Abes turn. "Now, adrain. You say you were with Rose at the time of the Murder?" He asked. "Yes, I got to her room say, About 8? Maybe 7 fifty something." He answered. "One of the staff testifies that he didnt see you arive until nine twenty. What do you have to say?" Huh? Abe was supposed to be Helping me! "The only person i seen in the whole building other than rose was Ambrose. He was walkin the opisite Direction that i was. When I walked in to Roses room she was sleeping." said Adrain. Abe nodded and continued," And why were you Visiting Rose?" uh, Private! I just about said. But I wanted to save my outburst for something obsurd. "I originally came to figure out what was going on between us, because she was still attached to Demitri in some way, and she was trying to get through to him. But when i got there, she was asleep. When i woke her up She told me not to worry anymore, that things were ok. I ended up staying the night." It was the truth, but not all the details. "What was going on between her and Demitri?" "Well, like I said ithink she was trying to get through to him and make things like the way they were. But as far as i know he felt to bad about the person he was and didnt was anything to do with her. im sure it upset her, and i guess that she had moved on when I had got there." Adrain rplied, telling only what was neccesary. "thanks, thats all." Abe dismissed him. Then Demitri Got up.
"Demitri, when did you last see Rose?" Abe asked. "During Church service. She sat by me, but half way through the service she left." Demitri Replied, also only saying what needed to be said. "why is that?'' uh oh... "Knowing Rose, she didn't want to cry in public, so she went somewhere to be alone to deal with everything." Anothergood one. "Why would she cry?" Abe said. I knew it was relevant to keep me alive, but I could use some really bad words right now. Like Adrain said, she was having a hard time letting go. When i was...When I Was strigoi, I did horrible things. To her. And I can't be around her, friends with her and such, knowing those things. So We talked some and I told her I Didn't want anything to do with her. So she got up, and left, so she wouldn't cry in front of everyone." Sigh. What was I going to do? Stay there and Pitch a fit? uh, No."Ok, I see. Thats it for the moment. Now, I need to see Ambrose." Abe Said, Sounding a little exited now. Ambrose? What for?
"Ambrose, Adrain Said he seen you walkind away from roses hallway. Why?" Abe mouthed at Him. "I was waiting on the queen to get through with dinner." Huh, i imaged he would. He is the only male dhampir I know who isn't a Guardian. And the only one i know who is A blood whore. To the queen. Eww. "Ok, So why were you down The girls hall way though?" "I was just wondering around. It happened to be the nearest building, so i went in." Amrose said. "Did you see adrain,And if so What Time?" pressed Abe. "Yes, and i cannot pinpoint the time. It had just gotten dark, and there was the slightest hint of light though." Ambrose seemed suspicious thoug, for some reason...Then my old man started again. "Ambrose, When did you last see the queen?'' "I was on my way in, and the gaurds told me she had come ome earlier than expected and hat retired to bed. Then I was knowcked out, along with the guards, and when I woke up, i Walked into Tatianas room and...And..well. So i ran for Help." Ambrose could barely stutter the last part. "When you woke, Were the guards still out? " Abe asked. "Yes, and when i Left." He said."Very well. Now i must Speak to Rose." Oh Hell .
"Rose, Repeat everything that happened to you within the two days before the incident." Ok easy enough. "After meeting with the queen, I ran Into Ambrose, and we went to his aunt to get my fortune read. Well, On the way back we had talked about my opinions about the issue dealing with the Guardians. He seemed to share my view and promised me hed talk with the queen. Well, I went back to my room and went to lissa's head for awhile to get some peace. She was doing her usual, eating, then her and Christian talk, so on. When I popped out, it was late, so i Went to bed. When I woke up I knew Demitri would be at church, and i went to see him. It was a mistake and i got my feelings hurt. I left half way through the service , adn like he suspected cryed myself to sleep. I Woke up when someone beat on the door. When I opened it, adrain was there, and it was still a tads ligh outside, so it was around 8. He came in, wwe talked and made up. He slept over. I left early in th morning to go eat, when I went into the cafe. I saw demitri there too. Well a few minutes later Guardians bust in, and try to arrest me. Me and Demitri up a fight at first but I gave in realizing that I needed to . So I stayed locked up for 2 months, and voula! Here i am." I barely breathed through the whole thing. Then something Clicked, And Abe was smiling. "Wait...Ambrose admits he was by my room...and...OH!" I gasped! Abe gave me a look that said shut up now, and the told me to be seated. I was so shocked that I listened to him without a fight.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Are you seeing what im Seeing?Ambrose said he would 'talk' to the queen about a topic that could be argued. Ambrose himself admitted to being in roses Hallway before adrain got there, while she was asleep. He says that the guards were still knocked out when he woke, and left, so there were supposedly no witnesses. It seems to me like he Broke into Roses room, Took her stake to frame her, knocked the gaurds out, killed our queen, and ran away like a ppor has acsess anywhere, because he is with the queen, and he could have easily figured out roses room. And, not to mention his flaw in his story. He says Adrain walked into the room, and that was before the crime was from His story Rose Cant be Guilty. And may I remind you that earlier when the two guards testified, the last person they remember was Ambrose. So, People of the jury, Think. What is the Most likely Case? That is all your Honor" Abe finished, turned to wink at me, then sat beside me.
"Ladies and Genlemen, I will trust that you have the verdict by the time court returns again. I will see you all tommorow morning at 8. Until then, Gaurdian Hathaway Can Go to her room, but must have gaurds by the door. Only These few people are allowed to visit:Adrain Ishivoc, Dimitri Belivoc, Valissa Dragimor, and Her lawyer. Court Closed.'" He Banged the mallet 2 times and walked off. I sat there, still to shocked to relize what had happened.
Abe Tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Come on kid. We need you back in your room!". I walked in a trance to my room, And was wondering if i Would go Crazy waitin for tommorow Morning. Yeah, i Probably would. "Rose!...ROSE!" I snatched my head out of the clouds and stared at Lissa, adrain, And Demitri. Abe had left aparently. Well, i guess now was as good as time as ever to Bring up The note Tatiana Gave me, Just incase the verdict isnt so good. I sighed, smiled and started talking. Maybe Things would go welll...
