Chapter Three
This is all fiction, I apologize for any spelling or grammer mistakes in the story, I suck at english ;) I don't own any of the characters thats the brillant authors work.
"Vasilisa, I would like you to meet Her Majastly" She says as she turns and bows to me. The enforces bow as well when hearing the title.
To be honset is kind of irrates me but hey, I turn my gaze up to the screen to hold back a gasp. In the big screen above me is my past, Vasilisa, Eddie, my mother, Christian and worst of all Dimitri. He is standing at the back staring at the screen with an emotionless expression but i know better. Just by looking into his eyes I can see the pain and sadness hiden, it nearly brings me to my knees. If i had one weakness it would be him.
I was intrupted from my gaze when Lissa turns her eyes to me and speaks, "Your Majastly, I thank you for taking this call on such short notice but we require your assistince."
I keep back my laugh as I see the look on all their faces when she speaks the last part. Obviously i am the last resort or else she would never ask help from the strigoi. I nod my head at them as I make my way over to the seat beside Sonya.
Clearly she expected more because before she can asnwer Sonya speaks, "My Majastly dosen't want to talk to you so all questions must be directed to me, if you want us to give you the time of day."
I can see the look of fustration come across her face and her words come out tight, "Of cause"
"Good" Sonya smiles while flashing her teeth, everyone sniggers while everyone on screen flinch. "Now how can we help you?"
Vasilisa shallows before speaking, "Well as your aware, we have been keeping tabs on the Striogi with the turf wars going on between you and the "others," as we have favioured you other them, we thought it was best to contact you, seeing as your the most reseable of the two." she pauses before contining "Over the past year the Moroi are in grave danger of becoming extinct" I snort, noticing how she dosen't bring up Dhampirs "The 'others' are growing bigger and bigger trying to take over court and with each battle we fight more and more of our men are dying. Your our only chance of helping us and we implore you to help. Please" She begs
All my men turn towards me to see what i think. I gaze up at the people that used to mean the world to me and pause. I know that i dont owe these people anything, I gave them everything i was a long time ago and they throw it back in my face one way or another but still i couldn't say the words. I turn my gaze to Sonya and speak lowly so none of them could hear me, "Tell her we will think about it, give us two days and we will make our way to court, we want a safe passage."
Everyone gasps at me for a few moements before Sonya turns towards the screen, "We will be more then happy to hear more about this..."
Vasilisa intrupts "That's great i can have men sent..."
Sonya laughs and intrupts. "I don't think you understand Vasilisa if you want our help, we want to come to court with a safe passage."
They all gasped and start talking at once on screen, before Lissa tells them to shut up, "I can't do that" she stresses
"Well then im sorry, clearly this was a waste of time" she turns and walkes over the turn the end call button.
"WAIT!" Lissa Screams, "Fine, I'll grant you one free night to come onto our grounds to meet but only two of you and you must leave straight after, with no weponds"
Sonya laughs, "Remember Vasilisa you need us, we make the rules, we will agree to staying only for the meeting but not the rest. Her majaisty will take all six of her enforces as well as my self and if you can have your weponds then we can have ours." she growls the last part
Vasilisa pales before turning and whispering to Christan. They talk for two mintues before turning back to us, she breaths "Fine. But you follow our rules when here, do not bite, touch or hurt any of my people or it will be war."
Sonya turns and gazes at me, "Do you agree your majestly?" I smirk and nod at her, "Perfect, ill see you in two day."
Then turns and ends the call.
Two days later:
"Ready?" Sonya askes as everyone gets out of the 2013 Ford Expedition out front of the court. Just two mintues down the road is the entrance to the Royal court where the gaurds are standing watch.
I smirk at her and say, "Ready as ill ever be, hoods up boys" and turn my attention towards to fense. See one part that the Strigoi find funny with the court is that we can easliy make our way in its just the wands with try to avoid. We all stare at each other before I turn and laugh, "Race ya!"
Everyone laughs and takes off. I take a deep breath and fix my stare on the problem in front of me, I bring my hands up and take off, when i get close to the wall I lean forward before lifting one foot on the wall and jumping off it into the grounds on the other side. I hear my thud first followed by several others before I use my speed and trace to the front doors near the court house. On my way i notice two things:
ONE: There was no one insight, so clearly they all got told to say indoors and don't come out.
TWO: Their was the royals and their gardians standing outside the courts doors obviously waiting for us to appear, they just didn't realise we wouldn't be coming with escorts.
I hear the startaling gasps as I appear 10 feet infront of them, all gardians jump into battles modes with the love of my life in the front.
"Back off" He growls as he croches low. I tilt my head to the side gazing down at him, he really is perfect he looks just like he did two years ago but not at the same time. He still has his long brown hair tied up into his ponytail and goegous big brown eyes with his amazing muscles but at the same time it looks like he's aged ten years. His eyes look hard and worn, even his pose as he stands infront of the Lissa looks half assed compared to his normal self. It looks like he just givin up. It hurts me to look at him like this.
It only took five more seconds but the enforces catch up and steps infront of me, "Are you alright, your majaisty?" Asked Tom.
"I am fine guys" I whisper sofly, "You may all stand up now, we want to appear less threating."
Slowly one by one they all straghten until everyone is standing. The Gauargins slowly follow suit until everyone is standing and glaring at each other. Sonya makes her way forward and takes off her hood, everyone around them just stand and stare in stunned silence, clearly even though they all knew she was coming they are still surprised.
Lisa was the first one to speak up, "Umm, Please all follow us inside so we can talk proparly." Everyone follows her as she makes her way inside. I can't help gazing around the rooms, rememebing how it was like before I left. I looked towards Sonya and can see she was remembering to, sometimes i forget she was here aswell.
As we made our way to the end of the coradoor and enter the courtroom i feel Sonya stop and freeze. I lift my gaze to see Mikhail standing at the front near Lissa gasping at Sonya. I quickly grab her hand as i see her take a step forward, "Remember, he's not like us, he's like them and if you get mixed up with him again he will turn you like Dimirti had. Is that what you want? To go crazy again?" I whisper
She takes a deep breath before slipping on her strigoi face and turning towards me "Of cause not, i was just surprise." Before turning back to everyone and taking her seat at the end of the table, taking off her coat. I follow suit and sit in the chair beside hers but keeping mine on. I feel my men behind me stand around both Sonya and myself to ensure no one can get behind us.
Everyone watches us carefully before the Moroi slowly take their seats and the Dhampirs take their places at the war. Against my better judgement my gaze keeps falling on Dimitri, no matter how hard i try.
Vasilisa looks towards me before speaking, "How did you manage to get past our gaurds at the front gate?"
Sonya answers "It was quite easly, Vasilisa anyone could have done it and i would prefer you direct all questions to me"
Lissa stares at Sonya for a second before answering "If im having a meeting with your queen shouldn't she be answering?"
Sonya scoffs "She despising your kind, she dosen't want to waste a breath on you. So if you were smart you will need to make a damn good case to convice her to even consider helping." she hisses
I smirk as i see her pale right in front of me before slipping on her mask. "Is she even going to take off her hood?" She asked
"No Vasilisa she won't" She says with a slight laugh, I guess you could consider it a bit funny with all our past history.
Lissa takes a deep breath before contiuing, "Right well, as you are aware I have asked you all here because we currently have a slight problem occuring at the moment. Moroi are dropping everywhere with gardians dying even as we speak, court is no longer safe with many going underground. Several schools have been broken into with many of our childrens lives being taken and we need to fix this before it gets too out of hands. There is no other option that to beg and i do mean beg you to help" She pleas, "We will do almost anything to help"
By the end of her speech she looks close to tears, i couldn't help but feel slightly sorry for her, I mean if i didn't become a strogoi this would be apart of my problem to I guess. I turn towards Sonya and nodded at her to contuine of the plan that we have already come up with.
"Look, We are inclind to help" Lissa goes to intrupt before Sonya stops her, "You don't understand, it will come at a pretty big price, something you might not willing pay."
"We will do anything" She breaths.
"You need more fighters," she pause..."We need more soldiers"
