I couldn't believe it. Lissa and all of the school were searching for us but didn't know where to look.
"I can't get a hold of Adrian. He always has his phone on. What if he's with her?" Lissa said, her voice in a high-pitched shriek.
"Let's not jump to conclusions, Ms. Dragomir," Alberta said walking toward a group of guardians awaiting her orders.
"I think a few of you guardian tried to tell me that before an look what's happened. When are all of you going to take into fact that students have turned against students, against our school, hell against our government!!! They didn't just kill one of our own they've take one of four own and instead of trying to stay organized we need to actually start doing something," she shouted. Everyone was staring at her worried.
She felt automatically guilty when the words left her lips.
Alberta turned on her heel, and faced her a grim expression on her face. "If we don't stay organized, everyone will start going crazy, acting as visual aunties taking our laws into their own hands. I'm sure we are all aware that a trust has been broken between us but why don't you leave the organizing to me."
Alberta turned away then. I could feel my self-flinch, resisting for wanting to smack Alberta for talking to her like that.
"Things are out of control," we both thought in unison.
I broke out of Lissa's head and back into the watch house,
"What's going on?" Adrian asked, reading the expression on my face. He could tell I was sucked into her head.
"Lissa thinks you're missing too but everyone's too panicked to listen to her and Alberta just told her off which I'm going to ignore right now," I rambled. He pursed his lips taken this new info in
"…think we have things figured out. Ralph call them."
"Call who?" I asked. .
"Your buyers of course."
"Buyers? What are you going to send us to a brothel 'cause male prostitution isn't my thing, I don't swing that way," Adrian spoke up.
"No you idiot. Strogoi are looking for a few royals to buy and you two are close enough," Jesse smiled.
"I'm not royal," I told them, pointing out the obvious.
"We know that, but we also know about your weird closeness bond to Lissa. Didn't think we did, did you?" one of the moroi asked in a sing-song voice. "We threw you ooff thinking we didn't."
"Oh-Kay," Adrian and I said together. These moroi were more nuts than Adrian at the moment.
"Anyways, since this now involves you, here's what's going on. Strogoi and humans are looking to buy royals and since you guys are all we have, we made them a deal," Jesse explained. Another moroi stepped forward to speak. I remembered his name being Caleb.
"We were going to use that other whore, but since she refused we thought she'd have better use as a…message."
"So you killed her you evil son of a-"
"Rosie. Stop," Adrian whispered. The beautifully calm look in his eyes and the sound of his voice calmed me down and it wasn't even compulsion he was using. I closed my mouth and stepped closer to the wall.
"Anyways," he continued. "Prices are high for dhampire and moroi these days and with the statuses you both have, we'll be wealthier than we already are and be sending a message at the same time."
"Killing two birds with one stone,' Jesse finished.
"Wow I hate you," I shot at him. "I don't know what I saw in such an arrogant, evil, asshole such as your self, I can't even believe I made out with trash like you!"
"I know babe, I've been thinking the same thing about you," he said reaching for my face.
I grabbed his wrist turning him, pinning it around his back so that his shoulder popped and cracked. He yelped. My anger was boiling high and I'm sure I had a crazed look in my eyes. The darkness was taking over but at the moment I didn't care.
