"How...how, how could she do this!" Lissa yelled pacing back and forth.

I smirked without humour. "Cause she's Queen Bitch!"

Lissa stopped her pacing for about one second to glare at me. "Rose you of all people should be taking this seriously" she said once again pacing.

"I am taking this seriously!" I told her, although my voice probably showed otherwise. But I really was thinking seriously, I knew how bad this situation was but I didn't want to worry Lissa.

"Then you should be the one pacing and not me!" she shot back.

"Lissa just sit down!" I yelled. I have no idea why we were both shouting but I think it was just the stress of the situation.

"No. We...we need to do something" she said, her voice lower than it had been. She added a new thing to her pacing; now she was also chewing her nails.

I sighed. "I don't think we can..."

"We have to!" back to shouting again...

"Ed, help me out here?" I said turning to Eddie who was sat on the desk, he looked deep in thought and hadn't said much since we got back.

He looked up. "Rose is right Liss, this is the Queen were talking about" he said looking at Lissa then turning to me as to say sorry. I nodded.

"So what, we just don't do anything? Your just gonna get sent away? Do you even care?" Lissa asked coldly.

"Of course I care Lissa!"

"Well you could have fooled me!"

"Guys, just stop yelling" Eddie interrupted. "It's getting us nowhere"

As Eddie spoke there was a knock on the door, Eddie got up to answer it.

Casually Christian walked in, seeming oblivious to what has been happening.

"What's up?" he asked taking a seat next to me on the bed. Usually he would go straight up to Lissa but I remembered their fight before the meeting.

"Oh, not much, Rose could only be sent to a different country!" Lissa answered, yelling the last bit.

Christian turned to me wide eyed. "Holy shit!"

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Man I should get an award for being this calm.

Christian let out a some-what laugh. "What the hell did you do?"

"I—"

"She just attacked the Queen!" Lissa interrupted.

"I didn't attack her!"

"You didn't?" Christian asked me confused.

"I tried..." I mumbled but he heard me.

"Holy shit!" he repeated.

"Yeah" Is all I could say. In a way, I was freaking out. I didn't want to have to leave, I didn't want to leave the people I care about—

The people I care about. I would be leaving Lissa...I would be leaving Dimitri!

I felt my breathing accelerate as my heart sped up. No, no, no. I had only just got my life on track, I couldn't just lose it all now.

How stupid am I? The reason I had been so calm wasn't because I was in some sort of guardian mode, it was because it hadn't clicked. I hadn't been thinking straight.

I needed to speak to Dimitri. I needed him to tell me that it would all be ok.

"I need to find Dimitri" I spoke out loud. "Shouldn't he be with you now?" I turned to Christian.

"Belikov?" Christian asked. "He's not on duty. Why do you need to speak to him now?"

That's right Christian and Eddie still didn't know about me and Dimitri.

I stood up. "Because he's my boyfriend" I said, and walked out the door.

I guess you could say guardians who worked at the Royal court were pretty lucky. We got to have breaks since this place was so protected.

But knowing Dimitri, even though he was on break, he was probably finding some sort of work to do.

I was looking at my feet as I walked outside what would Dimitri say? I started to think would he be mad, disappointed? Or would he—

I was brought out of my thoughts as I ran into someone.

I was about to tell them off, even though I knew it was my fault, but I recognised the person...again.

"Ethan" I smiled. Looking up to meet his grey eyes "We have got to stop meeting this way"

He smiled back, as usual. "Hey, you didn't yell at me this time" he joked.

I laughed but it probably sounded fake.

"Is something interesting?" he asked looking down at my feet amused. Yeah, it was probably stupid of me to be watching the ground rather than where I was going.

I shrugged. "Not really"

He didn't speak for a moment and I saw that his face expression seemed to have changed, more to uncomfortable, sad even. Which from the very few minutes I've known him, it seemed strange.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He didn't look at me. "I was actually looking for you" he said in a low voice.

"You were?"

He looked at me and sighed. "Well, I was asked to"

He was asked to? "By who?"

It took him a moment to answer. "The Queen" I gaped and he continued. "My charge has two guardians including me, and so in my spare time I work around the Queen, not for her, but here and there at the Royal Court. Sometimes I have to deliver messages and stuff and I was told to come and find you to tell you about where you will be...moving"

I shook my head as if I didn't understand, but I did. "She told me that she wouldn't have the decision until tomorrow" I said in a small voice.

"I'm sorry Rose" Ethan said. And his expression showed me he did, pretty amazing for someone who met you less than a day ago.

"Where?" I asked.

"Russia" he answered.

WHAT? "No" I said mostly to myself. "She can't do that!" I snarled.

He didn't say anything.

"Russia, that's a different country!" I exclaimed. How could she! when I had thought about moving, I thought maybe a different town or something, not a freaking different country! "She must really hate me" I said.

"I'm sure she doesn't" he said calmly. Yep, that would be the guardian side of him. Although what surprised me was that he hadn't asked why I was moving, did he already know?

He probably did, and I was glad he didn't mention it. He probably thought I was some psychopath.

"She does" I rubbed my eyes and groaned. "I can't believe this is happening!"

"Rose?" A voice said from a distance away.

Ethan and I turned to look at Dimitri who was approaching us.

"Is everything ok?" he asked all business like, looking between Ethan and I. I noticed the way he looked at Ethan, almost like a glare, he was obviously getting the wrong idea.

Ethan didn't say anything. "No. No everything is not ok" I said and turned around to walk back the direction I had come.

Dimitri was probably following me, but I didn't care I would tell him in my room before I had a break down here.

When I got to my room I went through the door and left it open, signalling that it was ok for Dimitri to come in.

And he did as expected but what I didn't think about was that Lissa, Christian and Eddie were still in here.

"What's wrong?" Lissa asked jumping up from where she was sat on the bed with Christian. There was no point in trying to tell her nothing since it was either my expression giving it away or the fact that I had just stormed in.

I knew Dimitri was behind me and that Eddie and Christian were listening as well.

I gulped looking straight at Lissa. "Russia" I said. "She's sending me to Russia"


AN: Hey everyone. Ok something has really really been bothering me about the last chapter...I only got 4 reviews! 4!

Thankyou to the people who did review, FrozenWish-x, ChristianOzerasLove, Dimka's chick & SKDanielle16, for letting me know what you thought of the chapter.

Ok, now I will NOT be posting the next chapter until I get up to at least 110 reviews.
