Chapter Two

"They execute traitors."

God why was it every morning I'd wake up to an old saying, that would scare the crap out of me. You think this would have been yesterdays and yesterdays should have been today. I really didn't want to die. And I knew if I stuck around long enough I'd be watching my own funeral in action, through Lissa's head of course, cause I had no plan watching though mine. I knew if I waited for the trial I would be found guilty the royals had already made their minds up they were just too stupid to think everyone else bought the plot. Half the guardians knew it when they walked past me and gave me a sad smile.

"Morning Rose would ask how your sleep was but I can already guess it was crap. Abe told me to tell you Sydney will here in half an hour, and then you have some visitors so be ready it's going to be a pretty big day for you sure you can handle it, cause seriously the list is getting pretty long." Mikhail was back on guard, he was in a pretty good mood this morning too, and I didn't really want him to worry about me, so I put on a smile and said.

"Morning Mikhail you're in a good mood this morning, I mean I would be too if I got to see my beautiful face and my irresistible charm.. and as for this very social day I'm pretty sure I can handle so pray tell who's on the list so far and how do I get with each?'' I asked. It came out dirtier than I originally meant it too, and kind of hope Mikhail didn't think the way I did.

He chuckled at it, so I think he found the second meaning, "well since you've asked You'll see Lissa now, she's up stairs waiting she won't have long "Cause you a seriously killer here'', and Sydney won't be long. Okay so after you finished talking with these two I'll tell ya okay." He said half in sacrarium.

"Rose I've missed you!"That was Lissa literally running down the hall to see me. God I missed her.

"Lissa," I sigh I luv her like she was my sister. We fought like sisters too.

She was at the bars by now Mikhail was standing to the side doing the watching without hearing. I could see she was about to cry.

"how have you been you were pretty upset before all this happen, so what happen why were you engorging me that day?"

I wasn't going to tell her but I realized I needed to talk to someone about it and seriously she was way too nice to upset Dimitri about this, and honestly I was gonna crack if I didn't. So I lunched into the whole conversation at the church and how Dimitri said the whole love fades mine has and how Abe told me they execute traitors, finishing at this mornings worry. I knew I shouldn't worry her, I was crying by the end of it. Lissa was quite throughout the whole story. At the end we were sitting on the ground heads resting against the bars touching, Mikhail grabbed her a blanket so she wouldn't have to sit on the floor.

"Rose, Dimitri loves you he really does just give him time to deal with this okay; he's been worried about you we all have. You don't have to go through this alone okay were all here. And I will not do you hear me will not let you die, for something you didn't do!"

"Rose, Sydney will be here in a few minutes so as much as I hate to say this Princess you two will have to wrap it up."Mikhail apologized.

"Thanks Mikhail for being so kind to Rose, it means a lot. I guess I betta leave, I'll be back soon though okay Rose, and you'll be fine I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you".

"Okay Lissa, miss you, thanks for listening it means a lot," I said while whipped the last of the tears away. "Be good and don't do anything I wouldn't do." I said sarcastically trying to leave it on a positive note so she wouldn't get too worried.

"Okay Rose." She started to turned but stopped too ask "Why Sydney."

I'd been waiting for this. "You'll see why later okay, don't bug her though she's not into the whole creature of the night thing okay, so be nice to her Plez!"I chucked at this Sydney seriously hate most of them but I was growing on her I could tell even if she wouldn't admit it.

I watched her walk out, only to find when I opened I saw Dimitri waiting, his gaze locked on mine and they stayed like that till the door shut I could tell from where he was standing he could see that I'd been crying. I sighted.

Mikhail put me into the same room Abe and I were where in yesterday. I sat down and waited. Two minutes later Sydney walked thought that door. She had her blonde hair in a high ponytail, she was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a blue tank top, I must say for a human she pulled it off quite well.

"Sydney," I greeted as she sat down.

"Rose, how is my favourite creature of the night going, pray tell what did you do to wind up in a jail cell, Abe left that part out I must say, your worse than a human, at least we don't try to stay out of trouble, tell is it a Dhampir and Moroi thing of is it just a Rose Hathaway thing?"

I chucked at this, everyone always wondered the exact same thing. "It's a Rose thing. Apparently I killed the Queen, while I was walking around the court the other day. So how my favourite human been."

"Rose that's a little harsh what did she ever do to you? I've been good, so Rose what's up, I know you didn't call me just to ask me how I've been we talked the other night if that's what you wanted to know you would of asked. Or that you wanted to inform me you killed the Queen?" Sydney asked, her words were full of sarcasm in certain areas, she knew me well to know I wouldn't kill the Queen, stupid royals a human can tell I didn't do it but a Moroi council just don't believe the rest of the guardian, Moroi, which was gonna cost me my life.

I told her all about how the evidence was my stake and only my finger prints where on it, and then told her about how they plan to kill me, even though I innocent. Which lead up to the evidence I had that I was innocent which was the letter from the queen but I could tell anyone, which earned me a;

"Then why are you telling me?" From Sydney.

"because Sydney you know how someone broke into Eric Dragomirs recorded, well in his bank account file he transfer money every year into a Jane doe's account in Las Vegas, well I need to know who that Jane doe is, which will be in the records, so I need you to grab them for me. Also once we find out whom the sibling is Lissa can be on the counsel, and then there's a chance to proved I'm innocent."

" Rose how far away is the hearing?" Sydney asked after a moment of thinking.

"I don't know, but I couldn't want to wait and find out. They've made up there minds up and all the guardian know it too." I said

" Well then what do we do?" she asked

"We get me out," I whispered.

"What? Abe will kill me for that!"she squeaked

"Chill would ya,!" I sighted man girls overreacted

"Mikhail!" I screamed.

The door cracked open. "Yes Rose?"

"Could go grab Abe for me or tell one of the guards to bring him to me. Please?"

"Will do give, it 10 minutes." With that he left the room.

While we were waiting Sydney left to refresh and grab some food, while I popped into Lissa head. She was with Abe, Dimitri and Christian. One of the guards approached them and stoped a few feet in front of them.

"Mr Mazur, Rose needs to see you again, she said it was important and she you and Sydney had business to discuses."

"Very well I will see you later Princess, Lord Ozera, Belikov." Abe dismissed himself.

"What do you think she planning Dimitri you know her?" lissa turned to Dimitri, who seemed to be lost in thought, he looked a little worried.

"Honestly Lissa I wish I knew maybe Adrian knows he is her boyfriend after all." Dimitri said Lissa didn't pick it up but his voice tighten at the boyfriend part. Was he jealous? Maybe it my imagination.

"Christian could you give us a moment." She turned back to Christian for a minute. OH hell no I could tell through the bond she was gonna get up him.

"Sure I'll see ya soon okay," he gave her a quickly kiss on the cheek the walked off.

Lissa turned back so she was facing Dimitri they were wandering the court , so she had to be nice cause she didn't want people to overhear.

"Dimitri why did you tell Rose you don't love her anymore."

"Because lissa it won't work , after everything that's happening I can't feel that way anymore." Dimitri said his guardian mask was back on. I so didn't want to listen to this conversation yet at the same time I wanted to know if he'd say more to Lissa than he did to me.

"Why Dimitri she loves you, and I can tell you still care about her or others wise you would be wondering the exact same thing as me, why Sydney? What can Sydney we can't? Why doesn't she evolve us? why just Abe and Sydney? She and Sydney have talked for almost two hrs know and know she wants to talk to Abe and Sydney, they planning something. She's hiding something, she not telling us something but from the sound not even Abe know about it."

At the last bit of Lissa speech Dimitri's eyes started to look kind of worried. Knowing him probably thinking of the last time I kept a secret from them that was back when the ghost thing was a problem and I refused to in lighten them, I told Dimitri not to worry and trust me, and look how that had ended, me in a hospital bed a week after that, then later lead to betting the crap out of Jessie.

"Lissa, I am worried about Rose but she trust Sydney maybe we need to have some faith in the human too, Rose doesn't trust just anyone you of all people should know that."

"That was so dogging the question Dimitri, we all know that we should trust Sydney, but from what I've heard of her the only thing Rose and her done was hunt, and that's got me worried." Lissa said, then lowered her voice down a few notches "You had no idea what Rose went through to help me bring you back. We broke Victor out of jail, she few all of us to Vegas, refused to kill you and got put on paper work when we got back cause she got in that much trouble. That's only half of it, Dimitri she loves you, please talk to her!"

Dimitri stood there just staring in my eyes, well Lissa's eyes, throughs brown eyes showed so much sorrow in them, I could tell Lissa upset him and know he was feeling guilty, cause he hurt me so much, but through all them emotions I still didn't see forgiveness, I knew once I saw the forgiveness we could be together. God Damit I still have a boyfriend who loves me should so not be thinking like that! Adrian remember Adrian your boyfriend!

"Rose!"

I came back to my own body to find Abe and Sydney sitting in front of me both. Well that interesting.

"What ya needed Rose!" Abe asked while chuckling

" We all know if I wait till the trial then we'll be planning my funeral, so I need out, I gotta find some stuff to prove I'm innocent!"

"if you want me to get you out Rose, your gonna have to tell me why?"

I thought about it for a few, I knew I could trust Abe and as Sydney said Abe would seriously make her life a living hell if she'd grab files without Abe's approval. I also decided as my father he had a lot of influence and power, and that influence and power would get me where and what I needed.

I passed him the Queens note that had been in my pocket, while he read it I studied his face waiting for a reaction, understanding swept across it, with a quick nod of the head he handed it back to me. There was no, 'if we give this to the judge then you're free' he knew if that was what I'd wanted then I would already be out. Ya could tell I was his daughter; we acted so much alike smart comments and all, and we understood each other's reason without too many questions!

" Abe I need you, to call Oksana and Mark, if you don't have their number ring Olena and she'll give it to you, and I need you to asked them to charm a ring for me and send it here, it's my ticket out of here." I told Abe looking him straight in the eye letting him know how serious was.

"Okay will do, what do you want the ring to do Rose?" Abe questioned.

"Compel other to think I look like Sydney, but I'm gonna need the ring addressed to Sydney." I turned to face Sydney before she would freak. "It's the only way, no-one else is able to come in this room with me other than you and Abe."

"Never knew you rolled like that Rose!" Sydney said , seriously she taking this pretty well.

Your sure this is going to work Rose, it going to take some time okay, I'll call Oksana and Mark straight after here okay."

"Thanks Abe, and whatever you do don't tell anyone about this not even Lissa, she can't know, her compulsions strong but Oksnan's is stronger, but if they find out it won't work okay." I said facing Abe, then turning to Sydney to say. "Stick by Abe's side okay he'll look after you."

"Will do Rose." With that both left.

It was roughly lunch time(midnight for them) Mikhail went to go grab me some lunch cause he said he wasn't gonna make me eat shit for lunch, I really appreciate it he took such good care of me, while I waited I went to slip in Lissa head. she'd meet up with Christian, Adrian ( who looked like he actually got some sleep last night, Mia, Eddie and Dimitri. Agh he always followed her around!. They were in the cafe having lunch sitting in the line I could see Mikhail in the line ordering me lunch Donuts hells yes, real food!

The door opened and the gang all turned to find Abe walking in with who they supposed was Sydney. As Abe and Sydney walked up to Lissa and the group they shared a quick glance and a nod. Before turning back so they were facing the others. What the hell was that for? Lissa wondered.

When Abe and Sydney were a few feet away Abe said. "Princess this is Sydney, Sydney this is Vasilias Dragomir."

"Nice to meet you Princess." Sydney said.

"Please Sydney call me Lissa."

"Princess could Sydney hang with you for 30 minutes, I needed to make some phone calls." Abe asked.

"Sure." Lissa said, she was eager to find out what I'd want Sydney for. Seriously this was on secret and it killed her to know I wouldn't tell her.

As Abe left Sydney took a seat next to Lissa and Adrian.

Sydney this is-"

"Let me guess, please" Sydney asked, I'd told her all about them and how to tell the royals apart. I was interested to see if she got this right. She turned to Adrian who was sitting next to her. " from the looks of your green eyes you've got to be Adrian Ivashkov, and your currently dating Rose you're the Queens nephew." Adrian nodded. Lissa was implied shocked Sydney knew all of this. Next was Eddie. " You've gotta be Guardian Castle, next would be Mia Rinaldi." Wow I never expected her to remember all of this. Next was Christian, I could tell she'd remember him I always her he was a pain in my ass. " From the blue eyes I would have to say this would be the one Rose described as pain in the ass Christian Ozera." They all chucked at my description of describing Christian. And saving Dimitri for last she pause for a few seconds. "And you must be the guy Rose flew all the way around the world for, you were her mentor Dimitri Belikov."

All of them were impressed, "well I guess that saved time." Lissa said.

"So how is Rose when you saw her?" Adrian asked Sydney.

Sydney seemed to study Adrian a minute then replied. "Oh she's Fan-tast-ic, but she's Rose nothing can get her spirit down for too long wouldn't you and Lissa agree?" Sydney said with a smile on her face.

Adrian and Lissa exchanged a look wondering if she new. "She told you?"

"Yer, of course she told me."Sydney looked around and saw Mikhail walking by their group. "Sorry Mikhail could you give this to Rose I know she get board down there, and I could tell she'd kill me if I send a book down." She said handing her iPod over. OmG I loved that girl, meal and music Best day in prison of my life!

"Sure will."

Lissa turn and studied the rest of the group Mia, Eddie and Christian were quietly talking, Dimitri was deep in thought. I realized he was still lonely even though he had the Lissa. Oh Dimitri I wished he'd forgive himself. Adrian was starting up a conversation with Sydney.

I slipped back in my own head! Mikhail was back with lunch and my music. Yes half a day down half to go.

A few hours had been and id had a few more peoples come visit me, Eddie, Mia and Christian had all come and seen me, they told me to hold in there. Visiting hours were almost up, and I'd yet to see Adrian and Dimitri, if I was being honest I was literally dying to see Dimitri.

I was on my bed listening to Sydney's iPod, I was zoning in and out try to think who would want the Queen dead, and I could guess the blaming me part, I was wild and impulsive I acted off impulse most of the time answers came before the question, and they'd have to hate me. So far I could only think of one Victor well two if you included his brother Robert .

I was aware I had another visitor when I was hit with the smell of an aftershave, that aftershave was the most intoxicating smell in the world. I remember Adrian's world about the power of finding the right scent came to my mind... Perfurm can be good... especially if you get one that goes with your chemistry. But you only need a hint. Mix about 20 percent of that with 80 percent of your own perspiration. And dear god I would never tell Dimitri this but he hit Adrian's world dead on. I'd miss that smell so much when i was with him as a strigoi.

"Rose." Was all he said once he was at the bars. I was sitting on my bed which was on the other side of the cell. When I looked up my eye caught his, time froze. It was so hard to keep a normal voice when I found myself able to answer back.

"Dimitri." I honestly didn't know what else to say. Back before all this happen we never had a problem back then he loved me too so I knew got harsh words. I caught his eyes as he studied my appearance. I don't think I looked any different maybe a little tired but other than that Mikhail keep me in good conditions.

"The beds are crap aren't they?" Dimitri said. It almost sounded like he was trying to force a conversation.

I chuckled at that, and I got one of his half smiles, I had to be happy with the half smile, his full smile was way sexier but I got what I could. "Craps the understatement of the century."

"Guardian Hathaway tells you she'll see you in two day she just got some stuff with Abe to sort out and she sends her love, and Tasha tells you to stay strong, no-one going to let anything bad happen to you." I chuckled at the last part.

"Dimitri no one's going to be able to stop them, what are you going to do, get Adrian, Lissa and Mia to compel the council, while Tasha, Christian, Eddie, You, and me go badass on the rest of the coucile members and a few of the guardians. We already know they made their minds up. Why would you hold two trials, they had their mind made up after this trial, the seconds ones just to make dumb fucks actually believe the secretly the hope I'm innocent. The guardians know the truth, I know the truth, mum and dad know the truth, and council just to stupid enough to think were buying it."I said, I didn't mean to prattle that much.

I watched for Dimitri reaction. His eyes tightened he knew they had, I could he know what I just said was true. After that followed worry.

"Dimitri I have a question I want you to answer for me please."I asked, I didn't want to go straight out and asked it, i knew he wouldn't like it. His eyes tighten at the question, but gave a nod.

"The other day why did you protect me if you don't feel that way, and why Roza you only use to use that name when you were... affections towards me."I trailed away at the last bit a bit embarrassed at the thought I thought of. Thinking about the night in the cabin were we had sex, and he would whisper my name in my ear like a pray, which would follow with him kissing his was down my collarbone, while he was hovering on top of me , while my feet were hugging him around his hips.

I think he was thinking the same thing because he made contacted with eyes and refused to look away. Oh those eyes held just as much power as those hands did when he'd touch me.

"I protected you because it the least I can do to try make up to you what I've done to you, and because." Dimitri pause for a few second, and put his 'old guardian mask back on. That can't be good, god so shouldn't have asked. "Lissa would not like me very much if I just let them take you."

Ouch that hurt! But like always it would all come down to Princess Lissa. Like natural when I got hurt I got mean, I was about to retaliate and yell at him, but I remember lissa telling me getting him angry would help his problem. I bit back the comment I was about to I about to tell him. And like him mocking his guardian mask, I told him, but when it came out it came out almost upset. And yeh I was pretty upset at the moment.

"Well I see you didn't let that 'guardian mask' fade, nice to know something's don't change, you should get ya guardian title back, know I'm sure you need to go see your hero, and tell her the words your refuse to tell me, I'm sure opening up to Lissa's got to help."

With that I place the iPod back in my ears so I couldn't hear his response and shifted my eyes. At first he didn't move, I was going to asked one of the guards to make him leave but short after that thought I saw he leave.

I don't know which hurt more him leaving or the answer. As he left I watched knowing he wouldn't turn back around until he got to the door, so I let the mask slip and all the hurt showed on my face. Just before he walked out the door I placed my face into my pillow I was cuddling while I was sitting. I felt his gaze on me one last time, and then he left. I stayed like that for ages but eventually I feel asleep. But that still wasn't the end of my visitor's looks like I had one more. Couldn't been as bad as the last one! Could it?

"Little Dhampir"

The voice came from behind me, I turned to see a beach which had Adrian a few feet away from me.

That it guys hope you like it!
