Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Ok, I made a bet with my friend natashasingh1996 and whoever lost had to post it in their next chapter that they lost. So, hear it goes. I lost the bet! I know it's sad!
Disclaimer- I don't own Vampire Academy!
I pulled away from Dimitri hesitantly. And grabbed his hand and led him toward the exit. Lissa and Christian were waiting edgily for us. But, as soon as I saw Lissa I ran to her and hugged her. Even Christian pulled me into a hug.
"Whoa, don't get too carried away in the reunions." I told him, teasingly. Rose was back!
He just smiled at me seeming to realise the same thing.
"Rose, we have got to go! I know where we can find a car." Dimitri said and started heading toward the left. But I stopped him.
"We're not leaving yet." I stated. Dimitri gaped at me silently. "I'm not leaving the people I care about here while a killer is still out there." I explained. I probably shouldn't leave anyone here as long as Tomas was around but, as soon as he realised I had escaped he would come after me first.
Dimitri nodded, "Who do we start with?"
I thought about this for a minute thinking about the positioning of the rooms. "Abe, then Adrian, Eddie and Mia." Dimitri stiffened at the mention of Adrian but didn't let it bother him, too much.
They just followed behind me as I led them into the guest housing. Abe's room would be one of these. But, which one? I had no idea. So, I decided to get Lissa to knock on all of them. Of course I would have done it but I think people might freak out a bit if an accused murderer showed up on their doorstep.
After the 5th try Lissa found Abe, dressed in a business suite. I ran to the room and hastily explained the situation, leaving out the part about Abe being a Strigoi. "Come with us!" I urged him.
Abe shook his head. "No killer will be able to kill me, Rose. Don't worry I'll be leaving court now that you're free." That made me feel better.
"When?" I asked, realising the importance of this question.
"A.S.A.P." Abe replied, "Probably tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" I exclaimed, "No, you don't understand! You have to leave today! Now!"
"Why the big hurry?" Abe asked his brows furrowing in confusion.
It was now or never to explain about Tomas. "Look, the reason I pled guilty at the trial was because I was threatened." Lissa gasped in shock, "I was threatened by Tomas- who's a Strigoi- he said that he'll come after my friends and family. Abe, if you don't leave today you'll die." I was amazed at how much the thought of losing him hurt.
Abe nodded slowly. "Alright, I'll leave today." I smiled at him and surprisingly sprung forward and hugged him.
Next was Adrian's room. Lissa knew where that was. We opened the door to find Adrian in boxer shorts. "Only you would sleep in the middle of the day." I commented.
Once everything was explained to Adrian he agreed to come with us and meet us at one of the cars in the garage.
We got Eddie to come along too, let's just say I can be very persuasive when I want to be.
But Mia refused to come. She knew that her dad would never leave court and she wasn't going to leave him alone. "I can't leave my dad; he's the only family I have left." She'd said. Cautiously I let her stay. And then we were off, we sprinted to a black Sudan that was parked in the first garage to find Adrian already there with a suitcase of stuff. That's when I realised that none of the rest of us had clothes.
But Adrian had beaten me to it, "I brought all of my money. We can by essentials later."
And then we had the hard task of getting past the courts gate guardians. That was going to be the toughest objective yet.
