Chapter Twenty Five: The Time Has Come
We were quiet. The commons was like a desert. No on dared to speak and I also believe that no one dared to breathe. The Queen was coming here after we callled her. She actually didn't care at first, but when we told her that she brought me back from being a Strigoi she was all ears. Lissa look shocked she had some tears spilling out of her eyes and Christian just buried his face in her hair. Adrian was quiet just staring into space. And the rest of us was just looking back and forth at the entrance.
The air was cold but I didn't feel it. The warm of the garden where the diamond Rose was still in my skin. Then in one swift movement the air began to flow in one direction and then I felt it again. I gasped. There was this bad smell in the air but underneath it was the scent of nature. Rose. I looked at Lissa she seem to know what I was thinkng. She stand up in her seat almost forcefully. Christian and the others looked at her.
"Liss, you okay?" Christian asked concerned. He looked at him. "Can't you smell it?" She asked while walking towards where the scent was the strongest. At the middle of the hall. Some Guardians followed her, the students looked at her sympathetically. Thinking that probably she was going crazy.
"Lissa you're tired. Let's go back to the dorms." Christian said hesitantly. He knew what she was talking about. He was there when Rose spoke in thin air on the basement of the clinic. But he was trying to be logical.
Lissa looked at him frustrated and upset.
"I am not tired! You felt her there Chirstian! All of you felt her! And you're acting like it didn't happen! I felt her pain when she was talking in thin air! I know that she's somewhere here! Why can't you admit that you felt her very presence!" Lissa screamed breathless.
She had tears in her eyes. And they were making a puddle in the ground. Christian looked down. Mark and Oksana were biting there lips. Adrian closed his eyes very tightly. I didn't know what he was doing but I paid no attention to it. Then we heard a door open. A Guardian stepped out and nodded in our direction.
"The Queen is here."
We all stand up-except for one. Adrian. Lissa and Oksana eyed Adrian curiously. All of us looked at him but his eyes were deeply shut and every second it was getting tighter.
Oksana gasped. Lissa looked Oksana in a unbelieving face.
"Do you think she's somewhere here?" Lissa aksed hopefully. I know who the "she" they were reffering to. Rose.
Oksana sighed and shook her head. "Let Adrian find that oout. Let's leave him there for a while."
Oksana looked at Mark and they seem to be talking with their minds and after some seconds they turned to face us.
"Let's go." Lissa said.
We walked towards the conference room where the Queen was. All the students were at the commons so it didn't take a while.
After a few minutes we stopped in front of the door. There were a lot of Guardians surrounding the door. A male Guardian looked at us and nodded. Then two Guardians opened the door towards the conference room.
We were surprised when there were no Guardians in the room. Only the Queen herself. The Queen was wearing a white pencil skirt and a flesh colored blazer that mae her look like a modern worker rather than the Queen of the Vampire world. We all bowed she made a hand move ad we all took our seats.
Being the Queen means getting straight to the point, so we weren't quiet surprised when she asked why and how Rose bring me from being a Strigoi. The Queen in my vision looked disgusted at me and probably also Rose. That made my blood cold. How can a cold and ugly woman can be the Queen? I asked myself.
"That is still unsloved. Our Queen." Alberta said professionally.
The Queen looked at Mark and Oksana raising one of her eyebrows. "And who are these people?"
"This is Mark and Oksana. They are like me and Rose. Oksana is a Spirit user and Mark is her Shadow Kissed." Lissa explained. Mark and Oksana smiled polietly at the Queen.
"Tell me more." The Queen commanded.
"Rose is in a coma. She has no heartbeat and no breathing. But her skin is warm." That's where it started. The Queen listened to everything we or rather they said. I didn't dare speak.
My instincts told me not to and that's the only thing I was holding. My instincts. Because everything was broked and shredded into pieces already. I wanted to hide in a cave and cry. I was ripped apart. I wasn't losing anyhting right now. Rose was barely holding on. And mu family, they win't accept me anymore to what I've done.
"Rose gave us letters..." That caught my attention. Letter's what letter's? My mind was ranting. They didn't notice me. But I believe one did. Lissa.
She stand up and everyone looked at her confusion in they're eyes. Even the Queen looked at her.
"The letter. Dimitri's letter. Where is it Alberta?"
I looked at Alberta she seems to be thinking.
"Give it to him when we are at the trial. Everyone who got the letter will be saying what's in it. And if I find this very appropriate. I will call for Power Revolution."
All in the room gasped. We didn't expect the Queen to hail the Power Revolution.
The Power Revoultion according to myths and legends was the meeting of all the powerful Moroi and Dhampirs in the world. This happened already in the late Middle Ages.
Then the door burst opened to reveal Adrian...
and my sister Vicktoria Belikova.
