The last thing I remember before blacking out was a chilling voice. "We've been waiting for you, Rosemary."
Lissa POV
"Well. Is she gone yet?" I smacked Christian on the head. "That's really mean, what if she heard you!" I yelled at him, I was about to say more but Adrian cut me off. "Look its fine, she's not there anyway. She must have left after realizing she was caught." Dimitri looked awful. His aura was grey and blue, a mix of sadness, regret, and yet determination. No matter what Rose thought or what he might have told her, Dimitri was far from getting past her. She remembered the conversation she had with him just last week.
*FLASHBACK*
"Dimitri how could you do that to her! She went on earth's end and back just to save your butt from total damnation, but what do you do? You tear her heart up once again and-" "Its not like I wanted it to be this way, but how do you think I felt?" He yelled back. I could see his control on the verge of snapping and it was frightening. His aura was becoming a dangerous shade of black. "What do you mean by that?" I was honestly starting to lose patients with this man. "What do I mean? I came back and the first thing I hear is the fact that my Roza was in a relationship with Ivaskov! What was I supposed to do when she came declaring her undying love when she cheated on me. Besides I meant every word I said."
*FLASHBACK*
I feel bad for him seeing how he was struggling to maintain composer with Adrian here.
Christian POV
After Lissa hit me she completely blanked out. Its really kind of creepy, first Rose now Lissa. I wonder if this has anything to do with their bond. As my thoughts continued Lissa stirred. I was about to ask her what that was about, when a Guardian walked into Lissa's room. He turned and addressed her. "Princess, we need to get you and your friends to safety. There has been a strigoi attack and we need all of you in lock-down." We were all shocked at this news, but Dimitri was the first to recover. "Where was it? How far from Court?" The Guardian looked at him with an expressionless face. "It was at Court. The strigoi broke in from the west end with the aid of five humans." Adrian's face drained of color. "Rose was being held near the west end! Is she okay? Have they sent anyone to check on her?" We all turned to the Guardian for answers. "I'm sorry, but we need to get moving." "I'm not going anywhere until you answer the questions." Lissa said in a dark voice. "But Princess I have strict ord-"''You will answer his questions now and give any additional information on the attack concerning Rose." Oh crap! Lissa just used compulsion on him. I glanced over at him in time to see his face go slack from the effects. "Rosemarie was not in her cell when we arrived. All of her guards were knocked out by the infiltrating strigoi. We assume she was taken with them as a hostage, but it was later decided that she was working with them to escape execution." As he finished a moroi lady walked in with a letter addressed to Lissa. Lissa opened it and gasped. I only had a second later to realize she had fainted and I just barely caught her. I gently took the letter from her limp hands and started reading. 'Dear Princess Vassilissa,' Oh crap, now this really is bad…
