Chapter 16

I was walking towards Abe's door. I was going to talk to him about Rose becoming my guardian, and that if he consented he could talk to the queen. I love Rose with all my heart and I can't imagine a life without her. I laugh at myself thinking how I could be so anti-rose before now; I mean she's so cute, and so funny, and so sarcastic that it's crazy and so adorable and sooooooooooooo BADASS! Just like me…

I stop when I'm outside Abe's door. I'm nervous like hell! I mean who wouldn't? It's the king of all the mob people all over the world! Ok- C- Man don't freak out take a deep breath and knock on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

The door opened and a HUGE guy steps out – probably his guardian- and looks down at me. Ok NOW I'm scared!
I clear my throat and say "I'm here to speak to Mr. Mazur" while looking in his eyes. I wait for him to speak but he just stands there and looks down at me. I sigh and say "please" but he

still won't move. I turn to leave when I hear "PAVEL, let that poor boy in" that's probably Abe. When I turn to walk inside I stop cause now Abe is standing in the doorway.
Abe smiles at me and say "Christian, to what do I owe this visit?" "Abe, I'm here on behalf of me and your daughter Rose. I want Rose to be my guardian" I say with a voice that I didn't

know I had.
"Well, come in, come in, don't stand out there and look all down in the dumps" he says with a glint in his eyes. We sit down on his couch and he asks me if I want something to drink and I

decline.
"So, Christian- why do you want Rosemarie- my daughter- to be your guardian? You do realize that she's an extraordinary novice and would become an AMAZING guardian and that she

could basically get anyone she wants as charge? As her father I would love for her not to work as a guardian and do something ells but it's what she wants so I'm not going to stop her- so I'm asking you, why do you want her to be YOUR guardian?" He asks me. Come on C-Man, answer the god damn question! I clear my mouth before I answer "Well, Abe- as you probably

know I was with Princes Dragomir before I got together with Rose-" he nodded "and then we broke up when Rose was in Russia, and all the time when she was gone I kept thinking about her and wondering if she was ok but I realized that she's Rose Hathaway- there's no reason to worry so I kept my cool because I knew she would come back- maybe not a hundred

present the same state that she was from when she left but at least I knew she would come back and when she did I can't even describe how relived I felt. And at that time I didn't realize that I had feelings for her other than a sister-brother relationship and I don't think she realized that either. But as the time flew by and we started to get to know each other I realized

that I loved her and you know hopefully she loved me- something I find very strange considering it's-me- but she do love me I know that now. The reason I want you to help me get Rose as my guardian is because I can't stand the thought of her being hurt or her being dead and I thought that if I asked you to help me, you would, because I know how much you love your

daughter and I know that every father don't like seeing their daughter getting hurt. Plus, she wants to be Lissa's guardian and she would fit perfect to guard her, it's just that I know the queen hate's her and wouldn't want Rose to be Lissa's guardian so she would want her to be sent away, far, far away to some crazy person who only thinks about themselves" I saw that

Abe was going to interfere but I raised my hand, and said "I'm getting to that part right now. The reason I want Rose to be my guardian is because the queen hates me as well- I mean when the Queen heard about Lissa and me breaking up I'm pretty sure she threw a party. Anyway, the queen doesn't want me to have a guardian and if Rose was going to be a guardian

it would be for one that is a bitch or someone who is the worst kind of Moroi so I'm asking you to help me send a letter to the queen because if it was up to the queen she wouldn't be a guardian at all- but I know that it's the council that decides so I'm going to need you to send a letter to the queen and the council." I said as I finished my speech. Abe was just looking at

me and I started to feel uncomfortable under his stare. Look away, look away, look away! I chanted to myself I was about to say something when Abe stood up and stood before me and reached out his hand. "I will send the letters- if you promise me to keep her safe at all times and will never hurt her. I'm a hundred percent sure she'll get you if I have anything to say

about it and I do have a history with the queen so I'm pretty sure it would work" "Absolutely sir! I promise you that I will care for her and love her and never let her get hurt" I promised as I shook his hand. "Good" he replied. As I was about to shut the door he said "Oh, and Christian. You have my consent" I was confused "about what?" I asked. "You'll find out soon enough" he told me. As I went outside the guest housing I kept thinking- consent about what? And as I reached the dorms I realized; I want to marry Rose
