Chapter Twenty: The Captives

She saw her reflection in the glass of the window. Her belly had been a small bump before, but now as she looked down to see cleared that she belly wasn't just a bump anymore. She had a pregnancy belly, she "popped". And only then did she realize that she hadn't been sleeping for a few days. She had been sleeping for a month, maybe even more. Rose let out a terrorizing scream.

How long had she been out? Why was she here instead of a medical bay attached to wires? Although she suspected that more wires would have freaked her out more, this was all hard enough for her to understand as it was. Her mind was a jumbled mess and she was certain something had gone wrong. Or maybe it was just waking up and suddenly looking pregnant.

And that is when she remembered, Dimitri. He was here with her. Why was he here? How long was she here? How did she get here? When searched her memories she could not find a plausible reason why she was here. Her thoughts were swirling in her head over and over until she collapsed against a hard warm body. A scream was caught in her throat as she felt more of the body.

"Rose?" Dimitri asked. She looked up to Dimitri to find he worried face staring back at her. "Roza, are you finally here?" he spoke again, mostly to himself. He was more than worried when Rose fail to wake up after she had healed. Remarkably it only took a surprising forty-two blood bags and a day and a half for her skin to reach its normal hue.

When the doctors declared her in perfect health he suspect a day or two at the most and she would wake up and explain to the Headmistress exactly how much she had changed. But she didn't. And that is when thing started to get worse. He feared for the worse, and suddenly he found himself more worried and confused than ever. His fear for the life Rose and their child grew. But day in and day out he had been assured that the both of them were alive and well.

Rose was more than confused. It was almost like she was a baby again and forgot what English was and how to use it. She shiver slightly at the nightmare. How long she out? She wondered again. The feeling of dizziness subsided as she clung to Dimitri. She took a deep breathe in and tried to speak, but was only meet with a cough. Her mouth was dry like she hadn't drunk water for days.

She tried again but was met with the same result. She would ask for water but her voice didn't want to work. With the help of Dimitri she looked at the room again and notice two doors. If she could get to one of them she knew she would be able to get to water. She moved slowly on her untried feet, one foot in front of the other. But to her dismay Dimitri didn't move with her.

Dimitri thought for a moment before speaking and then smile. "Stay here Rose." He sat her on the bed and one swift move. He knew what she wanted. With her attached to wires for the last six weeks she hadn't drunk a single drop of water. She was parched. He open one of the two doors leading out to the kitchen. They were lucky that Lissa was a great negotiator. With her he and Rose would have not been able to stay on the above grounds of the school.

He quickly pulled a glass from the cabinet and filled in with water from the sink. When he came back from the kitchen into the bedroom he saw Rose leaning back to the point where she could fall over. She led back and took the glass from Dimitri then downed it in one gulp. Her throat feeling better instantaneously, it stirred her stomach a bit but soon the feeling subsided and she turned to face Dimitri.

Rose went to talk again, "What happen?" she asked. Little did she know that the day would end in a fight with the Headmistress.

Tasha paused at his outburst. Rose was alive? She thought she killed her or in the very least had immobilized her long enough so she wouldn't be found for days. Crap! Crap! She was screwed, royally screwed. Now she could only hope the Rose didn't fully recover and remember her.

It had been forty-one days; almost six weeks and Rose still hadn't woken up from her comatose state. To say Tasha luck was on her side was a huge an understatement. When Guardians finally did search the area where Rose was found it was covered in ice and snow which had melted in the morning sun. It caused the whole scene to be contaminated. The water from the melting snow washed away the footprints, DNA and hair strains. But that day washed away more than just her crime but her life.

Friends soon started to lose interest and she couldn't tell why. First, Jessie and Raff never really were the same before that. And then there was Mia, their little blonde ring leader. She had started to pull her friends away from the beginning of the uneasy alliance. Lissa and Christian were a little too busy between class and carting Kirova around so that Dimitri and Rose could not be separated.

After that night the rumor that Rose was almost murdered made everyone nervous. The ski trip ended early and although it was a week too early to come back they did anyways. The vacation wasn't extended as some would have hoped, but the mood of the general population at St. Vladimir's Academy changed into something dark, eerie almost. The nights seemed colder somehow, the wind whispered sometimes and the moon seemed to quietly follow you. Despite what most would have said about Rose, they knew that if someone tried to kill someone as tough as Rose, then the school had much bigger problems than exams and dances to plan.

Today Tasha was sitting by herself again. Simple sitting and watching the wind whistle through the trees. "Tasha…" a voice called from the darkness. Tasha moved her head towards the sound. But shake her head in defiance. I'm not crazy, she told herself, it is just the wind. She knew what she had done was wrong. But she had to do it. It had been for the best.

She had been hearing them, the voices, a lot lately. The voices. They would call to her when she was alone, but especially when she felt alone. She knew it was probably guilt but yet she could not seem to feel bad for what she had done. Rose should have died. She should not have had to have any second thought.

She had attempted to kill the Dhampir for a good reason. She was in her way. In the way of the one thing Tasha always wanted. But yet it seemed as if her plan had failed. She had no love. No happiness. And now those damn voices were driving her crazy. With a shaky breath she made her way to stand. There was no use in sitting outside. She had to try and forget, or better yet make another plan.

She took a deep breathe in and another out. Putting on her princess personality took a bit of time to do, especially now a days. Lissa had been putting on a brave face for a while now. She had been keeping Dimitri and Rose together for as long as she could but now she couldn't do it any longer. But at least she would be the one to tell Dimitri before they tore him away from Rose and into jail to await trial. She had no idea how all of this had happened, and so quickly at that.

The scientists that were brought in to exam Rose and Lissa found their connection was real. Rose was shadow-kissed and brought back from the grave. And now she could be carrying the next step in Dhampir evolution. Rose and her baby were going to become lab rats. Tested and examined, punctured and bruised or worse. The thought made Lissa sick. But she had no idea what she could do.

With a deep breathe she walked up the trail, step after step she climbed to deliver horrible news. By the time she reached the top of the small hill she was filled with worry. She knocked on the door three times before Dimitri opened the door. "Lissa, I'm so glad you are here."

Dimitri moved out of the door way to relieve an awoken Rose. "Rose?" Lissa smiled. Rose was a wake. This was better than she could have dreamed of. "Rose!" she yelled excitedly and ran to the pregnant women on the bed.

She passed through the doorway of the bedroom and engulfed her. The hug was crushing Rose. Lissa had grown a bit too strong in her absence. How long had she really been sleeping? Rose thought. Rose waited until the hug was over to hug Lissa back. She was still feeling weak but she knew it would only last a small while, she just needed food and to walk around.

Lissa paused for a moment after she began hugging Rose. What was she doing? She asked herself. She was crushing her best friend who had just came out of a long sleep and was pregnant with the first possible child that would change the Mori way of life forever.

"Hi, Lissa." Rose said as she pulled away finally but not before Rose pulled her back in. "I would say that we just saw each other but I know that's not true."

Lissa pulled away with tears in her eyes, "It's so nice to see you." She cried. "O, Rose you have no idea who good it is to hear your voice."

"Would you like some water Lissa?" Dimitri asked as he looked at the friends reunited once again. Lissa nodded and Dimitri made his way back to the kitchen for another glass of water.

"I hear you are responsible for all of this. Is it true?" Rose asked. Lissa smiled and nodded. Suddenly she had no idea what was going to happen. Would everything she was told come true?

Mia had a so-so life. Good parents, always well fed and live dup pretty well. But she was never able to complete with the royals. But after the night were Rose almost got killed she changed. She changed from wanting to have it all to wanting to have it all back. Her old life did not feel so bad anymore. And suddenly the spot light on her was far too bright.

Jessie, her and Ralf were never really good friends to begin with. But now they were all each other had. Since planning the princess's down fall they might as well been conjoined. She had drifted from the ones she use to call friends.

Mia took another breathe in as she look out at the start of another winter storm from her dorm room window. She knew something was coming but she could not figure out what it was. She was almost fearful of what was on its way. And deep down she knew it was her fault. Why had she wanted to harm Lissa so bad? Was Tasha ever going to go away.

She shivered at the thought of that woman. She had tried to kill Rose, and nearly succeeded. There was no telling what she would do now. What she was capable of. Mia should have known better. They should have said no and walked away. Maybe even turned in the woman. But now, no now it was too late.

Mia just simply hoped it was not too late to make amends. Suddenly she hated her evil self. She had been selfish and she could not keep up this act. The only question was, was it too late?

She had a feeling Rose was going to call her sooner or later. Amara could always sense things like this. To predict someone's movements before they made them. But she guess it always came when you were as old as she was.

Amara was ageless, it least to those who know her that is what it seemed. She wasn't very old to the world but to most her age seemed ancient. She was four hundred and fifty-six years old and barely look over twenty-five years old. Her husband, however, was only year younger.

As the phone rang in the small café she took a sip of her green tea with lemon, and on the third to last ring she pulled up. "Hello?" she questioned.

"Amara?" Rose asked hopefully, "I need your help." Her voice seemed a bit scratchier than normal.

Amara sighed. She knew this was coming. But she didn't what she could do to help. "What do you want me to do?" she asked. At the moment she didn't want to leave the coziness of the café, the warmth of the tea under fingertips. She almost feared leaving the safety of this place.

"They are trying to take my baby away. They are going to kept me prisoner and do all of these test on me." Rose paused "I don't know what to do."

Rose was panicing, but Amara had never known for Rose to panic. "Wait, what?" Amara try to figure out exactly what Rose was saying. "How is they?"

Amara reached for her keys on the table and paid the check. She had a feeling she would need to visit Rose very soon. "The Mori they don't understand what I'm, what my baby is and they want to take it away to experiment, to hurt it." Rose was crying on the other end at this point. Amara had already left the café and was now sitting in her car.

"Fine." Amara sighed, she would have to go there to explain and show them what assets Hybrid Dhampir could be. She wouldn't be surprised if they haven't figured out how to use their Mori magic to their full advantage against the Striogi. "What is address?"

Rose told Amara the address to the school and wrote it down. She notice that the school wasn't too far from where she was at the café. "I will be there as soon as I can." Amara went to shut the phone off but not before telling Rose, "Make sure to tell them I'm coming I hate waiting."

"Would you like some water Lissa?" Dimitri asked as he looked at the friends reunited once again. Lissa nodded and Dimitri made his way back to the kitchen for another glass of water.

"I hear you are responsible for all of this. Is it true?" Rose asked. Lissa smiled and nodded.

"Yep, every inch." Lissa was filled with joy. But then she remember why exactly what she was here for. Lissa was still for moment remembering the exact words Kirova said when she told her the news.

"Rose is to be moved to a building off school grounds."Kirova sat under her desk looking tried and ragged.

What the scientist found out in the last month alone was astounding. Rose was a genetic hybrid, what unusual chemical bonds and structures within her DNA that allowed mutations to occur in a lifetime than over a few generations. Most of the mutations, that were found, were unstable and were unable to replicate. However, there was one mutation that allowed Rose to be able to produce proteins that made her cells be able to function similarly to Mori's.

"Where is she going?" Lissa asked. This wasn't the conversation she wanted to have, at least not this soon. "I thought that the Council wanted to wait a little longer before moving her."

Kirova sighed, "After reviewing the information they have decided to arrest Dimitri Belikov for raping a minor."

Lissa paused before speaking again, "I don't understand. Why wasn't he arrested when he told you, why let a month pass and do nothing?" Lissa stood up as a thought popped into her head, "This isn't about Dimitri it's about Rose. Something the scientist found. Right?" Kirova stiffed at the mention of Rose. "What did they find that they would cart her off so suddenly?"

"I can't tell you." Kirova stated, "I don't even know myself."

"They are moving you. Lissa whispered.

Rose and Dimitri both froze. Suddenly the reunion did not seem happy. And all of the sudden, Dimitri knew what was going to happen. But he would not let it happen. His feelings for Roza had grown, not to mention now he had their baby to protect. No he would fight. The only problem was whether or not he would succeed.

To be continued…
