"By the evidence in which were brought in front of us and the statement in which we have gathered by majority vote we have had no other choice Miss Hathaway than to find you...
Chapter eleven
"Guilty"
I closed my eyes to process the words.
I knew that this was going to happen but now that it was. It felt wrong. It felt cruel. I was mad.
I turned to look at the one person I wanted to see Dimitri.
Our eyes met and in that moment I saw everything he felt, love, longing, regret, anger and a whole lot of other emotions. "I love you Roza" he mimed as a tear slide from his eyes and he turned to leave the court room.
It was then that my legs gave way and I fell. Only to be held up by Abe.
"Miss Hathaway because of the nature and severity of the crime we have also come to the decision that the maximum punishment should be inflicted upon you."
I looked up at the Moroi who seemed to look like she was getting pleasure from doing this.
"We hear by sentence you to death for the murder of Queen Tatiana Ivashkov." They were the words that I had been waiting to hear for what sempt like ages now and now they were here I seriously didn't know how I felt. I felt numb nothing could help me now. I was going to die.
"We have decided that you, Miss Hathaway, will be executed in the way in which you inflicted on your victim. You will be staked through the heart, in six hours from now. Until then you are to be locked in the courts highest security cell. I close this trail and this case. Take her and prep her for the execution."
Abe still held me up. I didn't have the strength to do it myself.
My breaths had started to become rigid, I could feel the panic rising in me but there was no way I were letting anyone witness that here.
I looked up to see Adrian sat there with tears openly coming from his eyes. Serves him right I thought.
He wasn't even willing to tell the truth about having been with me the night the queen was murdered. I thought he loved me.
His eyes met my gaze and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
They had so much regret in them. So much hurt and pain.
Christian had already left. I guess he'd gone to tell Lissa.
As I was pulled away from Abe to be escorted back to the cell my mother came running up to me.
She embraced me in the biggest hug I have ever had in this life. "Rose" she was crying openly in front of many "I love you baby girl" she said between bouts of sobs.
"I love you to mum" I got out just before the guardians dragged me away from the ones I loved.
I hadn't really paid attention to where they were taking me. I was consumed with a numbness that was evident in every part of me.
I could barely function. It took all of my strength to move one leg in front of the other.
I thought I was physically going to throw up, the bile kept rising in my throat but nothing came up.
I wasn't put back in the cell that I had previously been in. I was put in one deeper into the prison area. It didn't have bars it was walls, all walls, minus the tiny door that was there.
I was thrown into it and didn't even realise that the cell didn't even occupy a bed. It was plain literally.
There were no windows, no vents, no nothing just a plain dark and dingy room with a door.
I turned around to look at the door just as it was slammed in my face.
The cell was dark and musty. It stunk of damp and was cold. I shivered before walking over to the far wall and sliding down it.
"Why" I breathed out
"Why Me" I shouted full of anger just as I was pulled into Lissa's head
"Nooooooooo" she screamed and dropped to all fours as Christian brokenly broke the news to her.
Lissa's breaths became rigid and she was starting to panic. She was like I had been only worse. She couldn't cope as well as me and I knew it.
I needed to get to her. I needed to be with her.
I soon came back to my own body and was consumed with an anger that I have never felt before. I had taken all of the darkness from her now unknowingly. Not that I wouldn't have done it anyway.
I did intend on doing it but somehow it did it itself.
I ran to the door of the cell. I started banging on it loudly whilst screaming "Open this Fucking door" I continued banging and screaming "Let me the Fuck out NOW" but no one came.
I had reopened the cuts that had formed the night before when darkness had taken over. So now my hands were bleeding again.
I started to pace I was getting more irritated by the minute. Arghhhhhhhhh I screamed to nothing as I crumpled to the floor again crying my heart out.
It must have taken me a while to sort myself out before I visited Lissa again.
She was in hysterics on her bed. Christian had gotten the doctor to her and even she couldn't do anything. The only thing she gave Liss was a sedative to calm her down.
Liss was sobbing into Christian's chest as the knock came at the door. It was Eddie.
By the looks of him he had been crying also. Lissa looked at him blankly not wanting anyone to see her she stormed into the bathroom and locked herself away from everyone.
Oh no Liss please don't, I can't get to you now.
She saw the pack of razors on the side of the sink just in front of the mirror and stared at them.
She wanted to cut herself bad, but then she thought of what that would do to me. So she physically and mentally stopped herself.
I was relieved that she had finally gotten the courage to stop herself.
"Liss" the shouts came through the door "Let me in, please" Christian begged.
To his surprise and mine also she opened the door and fell into his arms. He just held her there not saying a word. He knew that no words would help her at this moment in time. None would help her.
I came back to my own head then. I knew that Lissa had Christian and I knew that she was going to be okay.
I stood up and walked to the far wall of the cell before allowing myself to slide down it.
I brought my legs to my chest and rested my arms on them, blankly staring into the dimly lit cell.
I took a look at my hands and cringed at the mess I had, had made of them. I sighed and just stared blankly at nothing.
I was covered in blood but I didn't care. I didn't care about anything anymore, only Dimitri and Liss.
How could they possibly cope without me?
Hours passed and nothing. No one came I was just left there on my own. Feeling sick, scared, alone and many more emotions flittered through me in the last few hours of my life.
Then after what sempt like forever the door to the cell opened and I can remember thinking this is it before looking up.
Eight Guardians had come into the cell. I took in one deep breath and sighed.
"It's time Hathaway one of the guardians said with a deep voice."
I blankly stared at them as they all came towards me. I jumped up and got into a defence stance but this only caused the guardians to laugh.
What was I kidding there's eight of them. I mentally sighed before standing up straight and putting my hands out to them.
There was only one guardian to whom I recognised out of all of them and that was Cole. He looked sad and nodded at me.
My wrists were harshly cuffed by the guards just before being dragged out of the cell.
I was led the opposite way to which I was brought here. Down a long dark corridor and up some stairs which led to another long corridor.
At the end of this corridor was a door.
I gasped out loud when I saw what was on the other side of it.
It wasn't a court room or anything it was...
It was an execution room.
There was a huge glass window and just beyond the window were rows and rows of people who had come to watch me be killed.
The room had been laid out ready for my execution.
There was what sempt to be a hospital bed in the middle but rather than a normal hospital bed it was more like a dentist chair but one with straps on it. To hold people down I gathered.
My heart race quickened as I took it in, this is it. This is where I am going to die.
My breaths became rigid as I got closer and closure to the bed. To the left of it I saw the stake that they were going to use on me and my heart broke when I realised who's stake it actually was.
I saw his name carved on it and knew instantly who had the job of being my executor. I let a tear escape my eyes. How cruel can they be? I thought as I had a guardian unleash the cuffs and throw orders at me.
I didn't need to be told what to do. I sat down on the bed and turned to look at all the faces beyond the huge window.
The one that cut me the most was Lissa. As suspected she was a wreck. I saw fear, pain and a whole lot of other emotions in her eyes.
I turned my eyes slightly to see Eddie stood there he was gripping onto something so hard, I think he was trying to hold it together, not for himself but for me and for everyone else.
I could see few of the people I really cared about there. I guess they couldn't face seeing me be killed.
The one I really wanted to see was Dimitri but he...
He hadn't come.
I sighed as I was pushed down by the guardians onto my back with brute force. Three held me down. It wasnt necessary, I couldnt escape them.
I then felt the straps wrap around my wrists and ankles. They were made tighter than what were necessary.
I had silent tears running from my eyes as Cole approached me. He leant down next to my ear. "I am sorry Rose." I nodded at him "I don't have the choice. I will pass your letters on" I nodded again as he read the words I dreaded hearing.
He read them in to a microphone so that everyone who was gathered could hear. I closed my eyes for a brief send and calmed my breathing which was worsening by the second. Panic had started to consume me as I knew in minutes I would be dead.
"Rosemarie Hathaway you have been convicted of high treason for killing Queen Tatiana. Has punishment for this crime you have been sentenced to death by a stake through the heart."
Cole voice broke a bit their as he said the last point. He swallowed before continuing.
"Rosemarie Hathaway the crime in which you have committed is unforgivable therefore the court has decided they will not allow you to have any last word before the punishment is put into action. I therefore conclude this statement."
Cole picked the stake up then and drew it up in the air whilst looking me in the eyes. OMG this is it. This is where I die.
His hands were shaking and the bottoms of his eyes were filled with tears. I felt bad for him. This was going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
How they choose him to be the executor I will never know but in my opinion it was cruel. He shouldn't have to do this but if he refuses direct orders then he too will face punishment probably a desk job.
He wouldn't want one of those believe me. There like torture.
"Sorry please forgive me" Cole mimed to me as he said his next words "May god have mercy on your soul Rosemarie Hathaway" I could see the tortured expression that lay upon his face because he was being made to do this.
Then as the stake come down and pierced into my heart, taking my breath away and causing me to scream in pain the last thoughts I had before the stake pierced into my heart were this is it. Its time.
My body went hard and rigid before it went limb causing it to fall weakly, indicating that my soul was leaving my body for the final time.
I felt my eyes close before I heard one last animalistic scream "Noooooooo" as everything around me started to fade.
It was Lissa.
My last thoughts went to the one person who always made me feel at peace. Dimitri.
Memories of Dimitri openly flowed through my mind. In the practice sessions, the running we did together at the academy, the cabin, the trip to the mall, Him helping me get rid of the darkness, saying soothing words to me when I needed it but then slowly it started to fade until I could no longer remember anymore.
Blackness consumed me and there was nothing there until...
I opened my eyes to be surrounded by light. Nothing but light.
I was in a field full of flowers, purple flowers that were blossoming like you could never imagine in a life. I gasped at the sight it was amazing.
I looked around but I was on my own surrounded by a golden light that took over everything or at least I thought I was on my own. I heard a voice "Hathaway"
I would recognise that voice anywhere.
I turned and before my eyes stood Mason. He was just like I remembered him being.
"Follow me" and with that he was walking off. "Mason wait"
"It's too late Rose there's nothing you can do for them now. You're dead."
That hurt.
I followed him regardless. He led me to a huge pond or what I thought was a pond. Only it wasn't.
In the pond I could see Lissa and everyone who was with her. My heart broke at the state she was in.
I could see me lay there on the bed with the stake in my heart and only few people were still there. They were the ones who loved me.
"You can see what happens from here if you ever want to know" I fell to my knees and let out a cry.
"You were taken to soon Rose, you can't move on until you have accomplished what you need to."
I looked at him completely puzzled. I think he could tell from my expression because he replied to my inner thoughts. "You'll know what I mean soon enough."
I gasped at what was behind him. It was a huge house. It was perfect for me. I think I am going to like it here.
"No you won't" Mason spat out.
I looked at him. "Again you'll see what I mean"
"What the fuck" I spoke out loud
"Yes I can" Mason said with a chuckle
"Stop doing that" I snapped
He just shook his head then disappeared. Now I really was on my own. Where the fuck had Mason gone? And how the fuck could he read my mind?
So there you have it hehe lol Hope you liked it x x x Wonder whats going to happen now Rose is dead who's going to save Liss now hmmmm :P
