The Plan

...

I needed a plan. I needed to do something and fast. There was only one way to escape this hell hole. I needed to find a way to trick the guards.

It seemed hours since I finally had everything figured out. Tomorrow. My plan had to take action tomorrow. Tomorrow was Tatiana's funeral which meant that most of the court guards would be protecting the funeral.

As much as I would hate to sabotage Tatiana's funeral with ciaos, I wanted out and this was the only way I could get it.

Rest in peace Tatiana. Oh and sorry that your funeral won't be so peaceful thanks to the generosity of your favorite Rose Hathaway.

Ha as if.

I was growing anxious. What if my plan didn't work? What if I got caught? Millions of other what-ifs passed through my mind before I was finally able to fall asleep.

Not long after I fell asleep I felt myself entering one of Adrian's dreams.

I was ecstatic at first but then I remembered what I had seen through Lissa's bond earlier. He had moved on. But then why was he here?

Confused, I looked around for Adrian. I couldn't see him anywhere. The only thing I noticed was the beautiful surroundings. Adrian had picked a beautiful garden for this dream. The view was spectacular.

Just as I was about to turn around I felt arms wrap around me from behind.

"I missed you." I recognized Adrian's soft voice.

"Adrian." I turned around and met a pair of gorgeous green eyes smiling at me.

He was giving me genuine smile but I didn't understand why? Just a few hours ago, he was busy with some other girl. Was he trying to hide it from me?

"Little Dhamphir, sorry I didn't come for the visit earlier, I've been busy." Adrian said with a smirk on his face

Well of course he didn't have enough time for me since he was busy.

I could feel my eyes starting to water up. Geez what was wrong with me. I didn't cry. Well ok maybe I do but still not this easily.

I turned around so he couldn't see my face.

"Rose? What's wrong?" Adrian said as he pulled me toward him.

"Nothing, just missed you." I said trying not to say much. I knew that if I said a few more words then I would actually start crying.

Oops too late. Shit.

"Hey now don't cry." Adrian said while gently brushing away the few tears that fell

How could he be so sweet but still act like he didn't do anything?

"Adrian are you cheating on me?" I said so quickly, I wasn't sure if he even understood what I said. But by the look of his face I could tell he had heard me.

Adrian looked at me with a face that clearly implied that he was confused.

"Just tell me. Earlier today, I saw you with that girl Adrian. Through the bond." I said silently

"What are you talking about Rose? Of course I'm not cheating on you." Adrian said reassuringly

"Who was that girl then?" I asked

"Who? Oh. Shit Rose. It's nothing like that. She was just a feeder." Adrian said while running a hand through his hair

God I was so stupid for thinking that Adrian was actually cheating on me. I never really realized how much Adrian affected me until this moment. I knew that he was far too important to me.

Before I could say anything else, Adrian pulled me into a hug.

"Little Dhamphir, I wouldn't do that too you. Especially not when I know my girlfriend could and most likely would kick my ass." Adrian said jokingly

I laughed. Typical Adrian.

"So what's with the plan?" I asked Adrian. I still had no clue what Lissa was planning.

Adrian looked shocked for a moment but recovered quickly.

"Plan? I have no idea what you're talking about." Adrian said quickly. A little too fast.

Ha I had him now.

"Please, you know exactly what I'm talking about." I said

"Oh really?" Adrian said with a smirk

"Adrian!" I groaned

Before I could say much Adrian tilted my head upward until our eyes met. I could feel his warm breath on my cheeks.

I closed my eyes right as our lips met. Adrian kissed me. We were kissing slowly at first but it sped up. I could feel fireworks inside my stomach. I could feel the fireworks starting to explode all over me.

I pulled back and just looked up into his eyes and smiled.

"Shit." Adrian said again

"What?" I said

"Someone's waking me up." Adrian groaned

"Is someone sad that their losing their beauty sleep?" I said mockingly

"Funny, it's just I was too tired working with the 'plan' today." Adrian said while really empathizing the world plan.

Damn. I had forgotten all about the plan. I figured I would get Adrian to tell me somehow but he distracted me. Check and mate. Shit I had lost.

Before I could protest the dream broke off. Ugh I groaned mentally.

When I finally woke up in the morning I was in a grouchy mood. Figures. Thanks to Adrian and the stupid so called plan.

I got over my grouchiness soon. Today was too important for me if I wanted to escape. For a moment I was scared if I was too late. What if I had slept through most of the day.

Hastily I checked into the bond.

I saw Lissa about to head out of her room.

"Ready?" I heard a voice that I recognized as Christian's say.

"No." Lissa sighed

"Great glad you have hopes up." Christian said dryly

"I'm sorry. It's just I don't want to go to her funeral. I hate going to funerals. Plus, everyone's going to be watching us carefully." Lissa whined

"Nice to know that my great Aunt is well liked." I heard Adrian say as he joined them.

"Oops sorry Adrian. I didn't mean it like that but I'm sure Rose wouldn't have been too thrilled either." Lissa said with a smile

That's right. I would have hated it to. Personally there was no way I would have gone to her funeral but even I felt a little bad for her.

"Relax cousin. It's okay. Anyways we need to get through the funeral without raising alert before we take the plan into action." Adrian said looking thoughtful

Gah. Since when was Adrian that thoughtful. Oh and that stupid plan again. Was anyone going to let me in on it anytime soon? Ugh well too bad. I'm going to be out of this place before anything anyways.

Lissa, Christian, and Adrian all started heading outside. I'm guessing they were heading to Queen Tatiana's funeral.

This was when I came back to my own head.

Perfect timing.

Now it was time.

Time to stage a breakout.
