Disclaimer: Ha! Thought I would write another one of these didn't you??? Well no. See previous chapter.

Ha! Didn't think I'd keep my word! Well I did and how proud are y'all? Hehehe here is chapter twenty-nine.

29

More swearing and a few seconds later Eddie and I are bringing Christian back in to the party. We set him down in a chair.

"Do not leave his side. I don't care if another Guardian comes and tells you too. Do not move unless I tell you."

Eddie nods, "I understand."

I try and look like I'm not in a hurry so I don't alert anyone. I go to Alberta.

I grab her arm and drag her to a quieter spot, "The Princess is missing."

"What?" she says a little too loudly for my taste.

"Please I would like to keep this quiet."

"You want to keep it quiet?" Alberta asks me stunned.

"Whoever has done this is expecting a huge explosion of events. They won't expect us to keep something of this magnitude quiet."

She considers this, "Fine I will get Janine and we'll search for her. They can't have gotten f…."

"Alberta?" I ask looking at her blank stare.

I turn around to follow her gaze.

A haze has erupted in the center of the room.

A bright light makes me cover my eyes as something is formed out of smoke.

I blink several times to return my vision to see a magnificent archway. The stone looks ancient and I can detect runes carved in to it.

Even more magnificent is the person standing in front of it.

Roza with her fiercest glare is standing like some sort of destroying angel in the center of light and smoke.

She no longer looks pale, but flushed.

Her hair is flowing in a haze of black and violet flame. Her eyes are glowing with anger. She's wearing dark fighting gear and I can see her sword on her hip.

As fast as it appeared the sight vanished leaving Rose standing in the center of astonished people.

Murmurs erupt from the crowd.

I rush forward, towards Rose.

"Roza?" I ask not believing my eyes.

She turned toward me.

"Dimitri thank you for staying with me all that time."

"So you are real?"

A shadow of a smile graced her lips for a second.

"Yes I woke up in that bed and then came here."

I sighed in relief. For a second I thought she was a ghost.

When I looked back at her she was on the move.

I followed after her but she was walking much faster than any normal person.

Then I saw where she was going and broke out in to a run.

"Roza stop," I commanded.

She turned so fast on her heel she was a blur.

"No I think these people ought to know the truth."

She turned back around and walked straight to the Queen.

"Why dear Rosemarie what an entrance," the Queen said so sweetly it was sickening.

"Cut the crap your Majesty."

Several people gasped at the boldness.

The Queen continued to smile.

"Why Rosemarie maybe you should go back to the healing ward. You are apparently not well."

Flames seemed to erupt from Rose's eyes.

"Do not talk down to me. You aren't worth half of the scum on these people's shoes," Rose snarled.

Guardians moved forward to remove Rose. They stopped halfway as she glared at them.

"What are you doing," the Queen asked looking at her stopped Guardians, "Take her in to custody."

"Not before I tell my story about how you've been drugging me to keep me in a coma to keep me out of the way of your plan. Or should I say scheme? To bad the nurse forgot to administer the last dose before I woke up."

The Queen visibly paled as people repeated what Rose said to the ones who didn't hear.

"Rosemarie you need to go back to the ward," the Queen tried to say.

"Why so your associates can knock me out again. Remind me to thank Ambrose for attacking me and trying to kidnap Lissa. Oh and for kidnapping her just a minute ago."

That shut the Queen up along with everyone else in the room. Rose was going over the deep end. The Queen would not stand for this.

The Queen rose from her chair.

"I have had enough accusations from you," she said suddenly more confident.

Rose just smiled, "Oh and do tell Viktor I said hi."

Then Rose turned to me and smiled before she disappeared in the smoke of whatever moves her from place to place.

I didn't wait to hear what everyone started saying. I took off towards Eddie.

From the few things I did catch they weren't good.

Eddie was staring at the place Rose had vanished. Christian was glaring at the Queen like he was contemplating setting her on fire.

Which he probably was.

I grabbed his arm and Eddie's and hauled them outside.

Rose ran up to me from the shadows.

"We have to act fast or they're going to get away."

"Rose explain now," Christian demanded.

"Is your Aunt here?" she asked ignoring his question.

"Yes," he spluttered, "answer my damn question first. What the hell was that?"

Rose glared back, "The Queen is responsible for Lissa disappearing. That dhampir Ambrose took Lissa and they're somewhere on the road. Lissa is still partially knocked out. I can't get a clear view of where they are and I can't go there because they're moving. I have a hunch to where they might be going though."

"Where?" Christian asked stepping closer to Rose.

"An airport," she said like it was obvious.

"Why?" I blurted out before Christian could say anymore.

She turned to me, "To meet up with the Strigoi."

Ice went down my spine.

"Why do you want to know about my Aunt?" Christian whispered.

"She's a fire user. We need help and lots of it."

"I can grab some Guardians before they're converted to Tatiana's ways," Janine Hathaway said stepping from the shadows behind us.

Rose didn't look at her but continued to talk to Christian about getting some Moroi who were willing to fight.

And that was slim to none.

Eddie perked up, "I'll go get Mia," and took off back inside.

I turned to Janine.

"Thanks, tell Alberta what's going on."

Janine kept her eyes on her daughter, "She already knows and is talking to Guardian's who weren't here."

I glance at Rose who is still plotting away with Christian.

"Okay, Janine go fast."

She nods and with one last glance at Rose runs to the door.

"Thanks Janine," Rose whispers at the last second.

I see Janine stop for a second before she rushes inside.

Oh no! How many seriously saw that coming? Probably a few...but there is still a twist to come! Hehehehehehe yes I know perfectly well that I'm evil. I'm not sure about updating later today considering it's after one here. Vet's coming and we're moving horses. So I don't know what exactly I'm going to do.

Oh and you can still 'enter' to win! I know that sounds so cheesy! But if you would like a chance to read my new story (completely original) go to my profile for more info. (That's one of the reasons why I haven't been updating this....)

Thanks for reading! Review!!!
