Happy Reading!~
The next morning, I woke up and snuggled closer to Adrian who was still asleep.
"You're finally up" his eyes were still closed, he smiled adorably. I didn't say anything.
"Why so silent, Little Dhampir?" his eyes opened in a flash.
"It's Victor's trial today…" I mumbled.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine" he pulled me closer and kissed my forehead. The moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Ugh…" I groaned and walk to the door.
"A message for Rose Hathaway?" she had a note in her hands.
"Uh… that's me" I took the paper and shut the door behind me.
Note:
How are you Rose? I'm guessing you're well? Both of you I hope…
There might be a few suggestive things I could say in my trial about you and your mentor but if you be reasonable with me I could change my mind.
Come visit before the trial, hope that both of you have missed me as much as I have missed you.
V.D.
V.D. only meant one thing, it wasn't Vasillisa Dragomir, it was Victor Dashkov. I gasped and the note slipped through my fingers.
"Is something wrong?" Adrian hurried to my side and picked up the note that laid on the floor then his expression mirrored mine.
"Th- this, ho- how did he?" Adrian stuttered.
"I don't know Adrian, but I gotta see him" I took the note back in my hands and scrunched it. I need to have a talk with the big bad bastard, dimitri.
"If you need help, I'm here ok?" he smiled and caressed my cheek.
"I know" I sighed and went to the bathroom to get changed, I hated being helpless or not knowing what to do, it made me feel as useless as a white crayon. Adrian thought that it'd be a good idea if he came along, so we walked hand in hand to Dimitri and Tasha's room, only to find, well hear would be the right word, only to hear Tasha moaning and Dimitri grunting behind closed doors.
"Great…" I groaned.
"My ears just got violated" Adrian chuckled.
"Least your eyes aren't" I muttered, recalling being sucked into Lissa's head at the worst possible time.
"Ugh, let's go. I think I'll talk to Victor myself" We joined Lissa, Eddie and Mia for breakfast, Christian wasn't there because he decided to be Sleeping Beauty.
After everyone left, Adrian and I strolled around Court. Then something hit me. "How the hell am I meant to get into a highly secured cell?" I sulked.
"Good thing you're connected" Adrian grinned.
He grabbed my hand and steered off in the opposite direction, he whispered something to a Guardian and the next thing I knew, we were standing outside the prison.
"Now, no one must know about this" the guard said to us before guiding us to Victor's room, we walked around a corner and I bumped straight into someone, the familiar smell of aftershave hit me like a bitch, he smelt so good, though I wasn't drawn to it as much after smelling Adrian.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Roza?" he glared then sighed when he saw Adrian with me. "Why is HE here?" he added.
"The same reason you're here, you got the note too, I presume?" I said trying to control my temper, he is really testing my self-control here.
"They won't let me in, even with my contacts, so go back Roza" he heave a sigh.
"Oh stop bullshitting, Belikov" Adrian growled.
"Stay out o-"
"You got your contacts, I got mine" I grinned, I felt like a true badass, saying I've got Adrian wouldn't have sounded as badass as contacts.
"Enlighten me then, who's are these magnificent contacts of yours?" he wasn't going to let this drop.
"Adrian Ivashkov" I worded it out slowly for him, Adrian was trying to hold back a laugh by coughing.
"If you'll excuse us" Adrian tugged my arm and we pushed past Dimitri.
"You children don't know what you're getting yourselves into" he grabbed me and Adrian by the shoulders.
"I think we've matured enough after listening to you banging the hell out of Tasha this morning" I countered, Adrian snickered under his breath.
"We-" he started then stopped.
"That's what I thought" I cut him off.
"Didn't I make myself clear about my feelings? You're too young for me, just think of it as a fling ok?" he said gripping my shoulders, man that was a big slap in the face.
"You're really startin to get on my nerves, Belikov. How bout we go see Victor Dashcock before I start something" Adrian warned, I rolled my eyes at him for trying to make a joke.
"To what pleasure do I owe you, Adrian Ivashkov?" that stupid tone I hated. I walked into the room and stood by Adrian's side.
"Oh… Rose it's been a while how are you doing? How's my dear Vasillisa?" he smirked, enjoying himself.
"I'm alright, I'll feel better when you're rotting away in your cell. Lissa's never been better without you around. So what do you want you fuckin jerk?" I slammed my fist on the table, Victor sat on a chair across us, chained to it.
"Now I see you've moved on" he nodded to Adrian.
"Your point is?" I raised a brow.
"I always knew you were a little slutty, all those guys and parties, but I didn't know that you were a bloodwhore" he grinned.
"Why yo-" Adrian and I both took a step forward but Dimitri rushed in to restraint us.
"He's just toying with you, both of you"
"Will you shut up?" Adrian and I said together.
"Guardian Belikov, how old did you say you are again? 24? I'll keep that in mind during my trial, wonder what everyone will think about it, we might even switch my trial into a rape charge" he let out a bone chilling laugh.
"You sick fuck" Adrian muttered.
"They're not going to think anything because you're not going to tell anyone about it" Dimitri shot him a deathly glare.
"Who knows? I might not say anything if you promise me my freedom" he suggested.
"Bullshit" I spat.
"I think we're done here" Dimitri put an arm around me and Adrian then pushed us out the door.
"What if he-" I said after thinking about it, Victor would do anything, considering the fact that he made his daughter turn Strigoi for him. Natalie, you idiot.
"He's not going to" Dimitri reassured me.
"What's your big plan this time, Belikov?" Adrian looked over at him.
"I'll just say that the charm made Rose attack me and we were…" he stopped.
"…busy" he finally said.
We sat in the courtroom, each of us had our turn to explain our side o the story as the jury and judge, Queen Tatiana listened. Dimitri and I went along with the "attack" story, instead of the lust one.
"Victor, you used your own daughter and manipulated her into turning Strigoi for your own benefits, true?" someone asked.
"She did it on her own free will, what can I say? She loves her beloved father." Victor said coolly. Gasps and mummurs echoed the room.
"Order" Tatiana called out and everyone went silent again.
"I sentence you, Victor Dashkov to life imprisonment, you are to be stripped of you title and all your family inheritance, case dismissed." Everyone stood up.
"No! Ask Rose and that mentor of her what ACTUALLY happened in his room that night" he struggled in the arms of guards who were taking him away.
"Little Dhampir, are you ok? I can't believe we won" Adrian ran to me and picked me up then twirled me around.
"ROSE!!!!" Lissa squealed and hugged me after Adrian set me down.
"Lissa! He's gone for good now!" I shrieked with the same excitement she had.
"Wow, emo boy is actually smiling" Adrian whispered a little too loudly, we turned to look at Christian who was smiling, Eddie and Mia burst out laughing then someone tapped on my shoulder.
"Rosemarie Hathaway?"
"Yeah, that's me" I blinked, confused.
"The Queen wants to speak with you" she gestured for me to follow. I looked at Lissa and Adrian for approval and she nodded happily, Adrian half nodded reluctantly.
"I want you to end this charade you have on with my nephew" her cold stare was on me.
"Uh… what?" I cocked my head sideways.
"You think no one knows about you and your farce relationship?" she yelled.
"We're not even in a relationship" I argued. "Your Majesty" I added.
"I know about your reputation, all that drinking, partying and men." She frowned.
"I drink and party as much as any normal teenager would, and you think that I do too much, have you seen how much Adrian smokes, drinks and parties?" I scoffed.
"Do you really think Adrian would marry a bloodwhore like you? He's Moroi and not to mention royalty and he's an Ivashkov. It's always been the same Dhampir girls are just play things for Moroi men, don't think poorly of me, I'm just trying to help you. Even your mother thought it'd be different with Ibrahim but she was wrong." she totally ignored my question.
"Now you're going on about us getting MARRIED?! Who the hell do you think I am? Angelina Jolie? If you're so sure about our relationship failing why do you bother going through all this, Your Majesty?" for a moment there I felt like I've won.
"What wrong is there to say? Just save yourself the trouble and Adrian the embarrassment, or I might tamper with who you get after you graduate, well IF you graduate that is" she said dryly.
"NO! You can't do that" I screamed. "And I WILL graduate, Your Majesty" I added, barely remembering to add Your Majesty everytime.
"Well if you don't pass there's always a bloodwhore commune you could go to. Besides you're just in the way of Adrian and Vasilisa" WOAH WOAH HOLD UP Adrian and I getting married was crazy enough but Adrian and Lissa?!
"Even if you lock em both in the same room for a year nothing will happen between them, Your Majesty. Besides Lissa has Christian Ozera, he's a royal and he has enough Dragomir blood to carry on their line" I mocked her.
"They may be sceptical at first but they'll come to their senses soon enough, Adrian has enough Dragomir blood in him to carry on the line, surprisingly enough with all your bad influence, Vasilisa is becoming a fine young woman, she has a lot of potential for the future, plus they both possess this unique Spirit magic. You'll just end up a used and sad little blo-" She smiled a little then the doors flew open.
I turned to find Adrian and Lissa, standing at the door.
"That's enough, Aunt Tatiana." He said firmly, it was hard to decipher his expression.
"Adrian, I-"
"Save it" he took my hand and pulled me out the door.
"I came to decline your generous offer" Lissa said politely to her before joining us.
"Are you alright, Little Dhampir?" Adrian cupped my chin and pulled my face in line of sight.
"I guess, thanks but how'd you guys-"
"You don't really think that the Queen would want to talk to you to praise you efforts did you?" Christian popped out of nowhere.
"Shut up for a second Christian. You're not making it any better" Lissa snapped.
"Shut down" Adrian and I snickered.
"We followed you after you left, all those awful things she said" Lissa said with a saddened look.
"I can't believe she'd say that" Adrian looked a little disgusted.
"She's just saving you from the Wrath Of Rose Hathaway, Ivashkov." Christian joked.
"Well bloodwhores practically throw themselves at every Moroi they see" I muttered, almost silently. According to Dimitri they don't but I've never been to a bloodwhore commune nor do I plan to set foot in one.
"You're not one of them though" Mia and Eddie scooted around a pot plant they were hiding behind.
"Let's just go home, Victor's been dealt with, what else could go wrong?" I sighed, the academy was our home, how sad.
"Yeah, home." Lissa said. Alberta came and informed us that the plane was leaving in an hour, we wandered around court and Lissa and I was takent o this weird fortune telling tent by Ambrose the hot male dhampir, who gave us a massage at the spa and massage centre yesterday, he's also Tatiana's bloodwhore. I shuddered from the thought of that wrinkly hag getting down and dirty with him. The fortune teller hadn't said much, I drew 1 card only and it was The Lovers. Lissa looked like she'd lost her mind when she saw that, she kept nudging me and saying 'It's Adrian'.
We boarded the plane and I sat in the academy's jet next to Adrian, who seemed pretty upset with Tatiana but he was pretty contented coz I was next to him. Lissa was with Christian and Eddie was alone, he looked so sad but he forced out a somehat genuine smile and assured us that he was alright, we had to leave Mia behind at Court, because her father got a new job there and she wanted to follow him.
Adrian yawned and tilted his head so he could rest it on my shoulders.
"I love you, you know, Little Dhampir?" I felt him smile.
"I love you too" I whispered to him then I ran my hand through his silky brown hair and fell asleep soon after.
A glimpse of what looked like a beach came across my dreamy mind then it begun...
My dream with Adrian,
Just the two of us,
Together and no one else....
