Chapter 4: constant trouble
Adrian's P.O.V.
I tossed Rose her bracelet. She put it on immediatly, without hesitation. Hopefully it's just Lissa or Eddie. Next I tossed Rose her shirt as I made my way to the door. Shirtless. Nothing more, nothing less. Opening the door I saw my mom, Daniella Ivashkov. Oh shit. She peered in the door obviously looking for something. "mom," I said simply. "Adrian! You never came for dinner." She chastised. "sorry mom," I said in monotone, "I was busy." She looked back in to the room. "I can see that. Already found some lousy dhamp to replace Rose have you?" "no…this girl's just a…. toy," I replied with sadness in my mind. Rose wasn't just a toy, but in order to hide who she was and to try to convince my mother I hadn't given up on Rose, I needed to convince her this was just my normal reputation that I was known for. She gave me a look, "she's still dhampir," she said with disappointment while staring at Rose, still laying in the bed, "I would love to me you nicely one day mia, I heard you would be staying here," She said. Rose just stared at her and shot her a dirty look. "bye," I said shutting the door on my mom. I began putting my shirt on and shot Rose a remorseful look. "Sorry about her," I said. "it's ok, I've got hell in my life too," She said smiling again- the home-made Mia smile. We were just about to start watching the huge flat screen t.v. when another knock sounded on the door. Rose got up and answered it. I could hear the conversation. Whoever it was, was saying, "the traitorous bitch, Rose Hathaway…." I sprung up and joined her at the door. He continued. "…has escaped our prison somehow." That was when I noticed Lissa, Christian, and Eddie behind him, followed by another guard. He continued, " The five of you, including her, known father Abe Mazur will be questioned. You must come with me now." I grimaced. Those basterds. I heard Rose sigh. She knew she had to be on good behavior. "ok," she said hesitantly, "but what do I have to do with this, I just got here?" she asked questioningly. "we agree," said the guards, "but we just have to double check, that you all" he scanned his eyes over everyone in the room, hesitating on me and Lissa, then continued speaking, "have alibi's." 'shit,' I thought, 'hope they hold strong.
Rose's P.O.V.
He led us downstairs and into a small sitting area. That was when I realized how hungry I was for junk food. I never got my dinner the last night, and I still haven't eaten today. Using a tone I don't think I've used once in my life, I asked the receptionist politely," I didn't eat on my flight here because I had a head ache, and I haven't eaten since I got here, can I please have something to drink?" The lady receptionist jumped up and scurried away, bringing back a cheeseburger with chips. The juicy aroma was getting to me, making my stomach growl. I dug in while everyone chatted quietly to eachother. Just as I finished eating my last chip, my good ol' friend Hans came in, followed by Nathan Ivashkov, the next in line for King. 'I wish someone killed him,' I thought to myself. Hans began speaking, "ok, we will begin this questioning with Eddie and Christian, followed by Lissa and Adrian, and then you and Abe Mazur." He said it like it was directed to just me. I was disgusted. They were horrible at this interrogation stuff. No wonder it took so long to get Victor Dashkov a trial. Idiots like these decided to "beat around the bush" instead of getting to their point. They led Christian and Eddie away. "guys," I asked Lissa and Adrian, "could you charm my bracelet to make it look non-existant?" I asked somewhat anxiously. They both took my hand in their's and began staring at it. I felt the common hot cold, hot cold, feeling I always felt when spirit was being used on me. Oh, the joys of spirit. Then they were done, almost as quickly as they started. Suddenly I heard someone yell ,"you can think whatever the hell you want, but you're wrong." It was Christian's voice. Soon after, both Eddies and Christian were back in the sitting room. Looking bored. Christian looked very smug, and Eddie looked both determined and miserable. Lissa and Adrian were both gestured to, to go in. I gave them both meaningful glances. "good luck," I mumbled. They both smiled at em and walked into the "questioning room." As soon as they were gone, Abe walked in. He spoke to me in low tones, "while we're in there, don't give anything away, I'll talk because I'm "mia's" dad," he said. "don't let your attitude get in the way, ok? If so, you could give us away and we could all get executed." I replied, "that's nice, thanks for the vote of confidence. I appreciate your sugar coating of events." He gave me a stern look. Adrian and Lissa were released from the room. It was our turn. Walking into the room Hans told us to sit down. We sat down quickly. Then the interrogation began. "where were you?" 'on a plane.' "did you know Rose?" 'only her bad reputation.' "did you kill the queen?" 'did you?' That answer got a really dirty look from Abe. Then it wa his turn. "how many daughters do you have?" 'two.' "what're their names?" 'mia and rose.' He said my name with biter disappointment. To me it was obviously purposeful. Then Abe began talking. "leave my daughter out of this, until yesterday, she didn't even know Rose was her sister, why would she break her out of prison for a crime she obviously commited? Mia obviously knows nothing and either does anybody else you seem to think is "involved." Hans kicked me out. I sat at the door listening to Nathan who was obviously not scared to speak out. "we got a lead and somebody who says they know what happened. You're an idiot if you expect us to believe that." Abe repluied, "I expect nothing of the sort from someone as egotistical as you.." whoo. That was my sarcastic, but serious father. He continued, " but if you think we have something to do with this, you are an idiot." Hans gave them both dirty looks and said, "knock it off, Mazur, your free to go, we will find out what happened, and you will regret lying." I moved away from the door and Abe walked out and joined us. We silently began walking to the huge Dragomir wing, which would hold all of us and more, if needed. I went back to my room with Adrian. We needed a plan and tonight me and Adrian would make one…
