Never going to stay up late again, never doing that again
Or a small grumpy screaming mother comes at you
Not a good moment in my life
Anyway yay! I posted
And please review I need to know if my choice of killing Rosie was a good idea
Don't worry too late for second thoughts
Or is it… you know I'm leaving that hanging
Enjoy
Chapter 36: Just Till Sunrise
Fight. Breath. Stake
Only those words now excited
Oh and the fact I have to watch my boyfriend's back while he's doing the same thing
I love my life
Finally rays of sunlight showed signs of the battle ending
I could breathe easily
But my body was still tense ready for a fight
I looked around at all the cold corpses
Rosie's standing out now covered by others that had fallen
Tears were beginning to well up
"Roza you alright?" a soft voice muttered letting my leaning against him for support
"Just in a bit of shock is it really over?" I asked
He leaned down to place a small kiss on my forehead
"Right now it is, right now you can rest." He said
He didn't have to say that twice
Darkness took over
And my mind found peace that is before I found Adrian
Our first alone time, great this isn't what I wanted to handle when I was supposed to take it easy
"Hey little damphir so I'm guessing your still alive and since we all are I guess it means you did it?"
"You talk too much Adrian." I said giving the best smile I could I think his faded
"Save it Rose." He said
"What do you mean?" I asked
"You're scared I'll be mad at you for choosing belikov right?"
"Noooo" I said sweetly
"Really you can't say it up to my face."
Our jokes stopped, this was serious Adrian
"Adrian listen I really do care for you but the problem is-"
"You can't give me your heart right because it's with belikov!" he yelled
I flinched but nodded
"The hell with you rose."
And the dream ended, I think this relation wouldn't heal too easily
Breath. Wakeup. My brain processed
"Let me sleep.' I groaned
"If I let you sleep who's going to eat all the doughnuts?" some sweet voice mocked
"Go away- wait doughnuts!" I gasped and sat up
"See that would wake her up."
"You owe me $10 bucks ozera." Another voice said
"Fine Eddie! But I still thought she'd wake up if she heard belikov name ya know."
"Shh boys or she's going to get pissed for betting."
'Thank you princess but I've been getting them to shut up."
"Already am." I grounded, they didn't hear me
"You didn't do a good job at it." I tried again this time they heard me
"Oh crap well I'm going to set my pants on fire anyone wants to everyone I would have asked to see if I watch."
"As tempting as that sounds Christian let's stay with rose." Eddie said
"Rose how are you feeling?" lissa asked
Faces I could now recognize stood in a room these were the people I'd want to see last if I died
Well this can't be good
"I'm alive right?' I asked
"Rosemarie Hathaway!" someone lectured "you should be very fortunate to be alive don't joke about it." My mom scolded
Guess she's alright
"Janie be nice she's had an intense time let her spill all the anger out.' Abe said
"You sound like therapist.' I said
"I'm not but I could always give it a shot."
"Don't but what are all of you doing here?" I asked
"Visiting" they all choired
"Right at the same time?" I asked suspiciously
"Fine we'll leave." Christian joked
"Ok bye Christian." I joked back
"Mean Rose just plain mean."
"Hey nothing changed rose not even coming back from the dead a second time.'
"You make it sound like it's some grand tittle.' I asked
"Sort of is well I'll catch you all later meeting up with someone." Eddie said
"Bye"
And soon many also followed out the door all leaving with excuses that meant they had a life
All that was left was lissa and Dimitri never mind
Lissa wished me to get better and start walking and then ran off with Christian
"Rose are you alight?"
"Haven't you asked that already?"
"Well you seem fine your sarcasm's back."
"Was it ever gone?"
He leaned closer to my face
"It could never go away" and he kissed me
And this time there wasn't a depressing topic in the back of my head
Ahh how times change, I kissed him back of course
But something told me I should be asking for information
Cuz I probably been out for a while
Who knows what could happen
What would happen in the amazing rose Hathaway wasn't around?
I broke the kiss to ask the questions
Btu before I did I found a very suspicious Dimitri eyeing me
I'm guessing he was very well into the kiss
"What were you finally into my amazing kissing skills?" I asked
He just chuckled "I'm just surprised it's you who broke it."
"I just have some questions."
Realization clicked into his head but instead like most people who would try and run for the door he stayed still
And said "ask me anything."
"What the hell happened?"
"That a bit of a broad question." He said
He was really in the mood for jokes
"Fine what happened after I passed out?"
'better well they found you collapsed tired they were going to take you to jail me along with you but lissa intervened that if it wasn't for your escape we wouldn't have found out any information about Rosie or the true killer of Tatiana so they led you to the infirmary but still guarded."
"Fun, so what happened after I was guarded what about the strigoi and Ambrose?'
I still didn't want to mention the topic of his dad
Don't know why I was scared
"Well they used the information about Ambrose-"
I stopped him quickly "is he dead?" calm down rose!
"Well here's the thing roza for the first time ever we captured strigoi there planning to restore them like you did with me."
I stayed there in shock, that wasn't possible right?
Strigoi captured, unable to fight
Stop reframing it for god sake it's not going to help!" I mentally yelled
Having my mind go against me was not a good thing
"So there going to try to revive all the captured ones because?" I asked
"Because they thought that we could learn more information about strigoi strategies and we gain the loss of guardians and moroi plus they do want to punish Ambrose."
"So there going to revive him and kill him again."
"There not sure." He said
"They never are so while there doing that were going to be having depressed moroi and damphir everywhere!"
I think that made him flinch, that wasn't the best thing to say in front of him
Think, think rose
"Rose is the darkness affecting you?"
"No I learned to control it I'm just pissed this world is so twisted!"
"It always is love." He said and embraced me
I was in no mood to stay out I would have yanked out of his arms and ran for the door."
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were still here." A nurse said
Guess she was feeling awkwardly, two damphirs hugging in a romantic way
Call the press, or the snobby moroi
"Can I leave" I asked, because the thought of why the hell am I here came up
"Well let me check and went to the nearest guardian at the door." She said a few words
The guardian turned to our direction with the blank glare
But I could tell he was bored that or he didn't like me
He whispered something to the nurse
But instead of quickly coming to tell us something, she giggled and answered him back
Then walked towards us
WHAT THE FUCK! Did I just see a guardian flirt! On duty!
Guess guardians weren't as hard core as I thought
Or someone was following my amazing skills; yea something's wrong with me
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
My panic thoughts were disturbed with nurse telling us we could leave
Yay! I looked down to see what I was wearing wow!
A red t-shirt, kind of like the rest version of the cute red one I wore last night
But I still wore my black skinny jeans and the black boots
Guess I'm leaving looking hot as ever
.
Dimitri helped me get up and had his hand on my waist guiding me
I didn't need help but would I decline the chance for him to touch me
HELL NO!
Wow I just realized hoe relaxed I am
Well I was before I faced a mob
Ok in the past 2 hours
I learned 6 things
For the first time ever strigoi were being restored
People wanted to use them to gain information
People still didn't know what to think
I'm still categorized as dangerous
People didn't understand why Ambrose did it or were Rosie came into it
They all wanted to talk with possible murderer set free
P.s I think I got new admirers
I clung to Dimitri but I still tried to look tough
Dimitri told me we were heading to the moroi townhouses to find lissa
'Hey rose how did ya do it!"
"Hey rose want to come over!"
"We got an amazing party well enjoy you!"
"Come over here!"
"Want to tell us your secret to coming back!"
"Want to tell me what the fuck is up with you!" a moroi girl now stood in my path
That snapped me out of my "do not enter rose mode"
"Who are you?" I asked
"The name is Allison Voda!"
"And you confront me because?"
"because you think you rule this court so what if you saved all our asses doesn't mean you can go around thinking your everything!."
"Dude this is the first time I've been out! I had no idea it was this crazy!"
"Sure you're doing this all for the attention! Any damphir would so it."
"You don't know anything about me!" I yelled
'but I know Anisim Szelsky does!" she yelled
I froze that was the first time hearing hiss name since a long time ago when I thought he was my biggest problem
I had no clue what happened to him after I exposed his secret
I thought he's in trouble he can't affect me
But his fan club can
"He did what he wanted to do, I just exposed." I growled and walked away clinging to Dimitri
"Are you alright?" he asked
"Fine just shocked how many people hate me."
"They don't hate you no one could."
"You can't hate me because you know me them not so much."
"True but what he did they'll understand."
Great we both hate him
We walked into lissa's room everything seemed fine till
Squish!
What the hell did I just step on
"Sorry rose my stuff's all over the place
I stepped on pizza how did it get there
And why was the world so cruel too good food
"What's wrong rose?" she said
"Bad waste of pizza." I said
They both laughed
"Don't worry rose were we're going you can ask for room service."
"Which is where?'
"The court jail." She said
"They have room service?' I asked
"There called guardians who listen to the princess's every needs." She smiled wickedly
"Plus we've with the most famous guardian ever."
"Really word spread that fast?"
"Of course with a little help from yours truly." I didn't have time for a get back
Though I will later
We walked to the court jail in silence but in the background we could hear chants of the crowds they always involved the three of us
"Banish Hathaway!"
"Long live Queen Vasalisa!"
"The dragon has been ruined."
"Put the strigoi back in there place, graveyards and burn piles!"
"They shouldn't be guardians"
"Hathaway is a murderer."
"There different get them away to protect moroi."
"They'll destroy you princess."
Only one chant made me feel like I was needed
"Long live the dragon!"
"Long live death and its will."
"Let life be, it is what it is."
"We support them all."
Most of those chanting that were young damphir and unroyal moroi but I spotted a ozera or two chanting with them
We arrived to the jail room and confronted a guardian
Stan
"Alto" lissa said respectfully
"Princess." He said back and turned to us "welcome back belikov and Hathaway." We both nodded and went in with lissa
Yelling made us cover our ears
"Bloody bastards I'll kill you all!"
"Let us out!"
"You **** will die I will personally do it!"
"You moroi will fall dead."
We walked up to the front guardians they followed us down the hallway
Were Mikhail was standing
"Hey mikh- guardian tanner." I quickly fixed
"Hello rose, belikov, princess." He said and turned back
"Has she woken up yet?" lissa asked
Who?
"Not yet but when she does I'm sure she'll be ready to help."
"I hope so we need all the spirit users we can get."
Wait what! Spirit user…strigoi
Sonya Karp
I looked into the cell
Little did I know this was the same cell me and Dimitri were in I felt empowered because I was outside
Now Sonya was kept inside
She lay unconscious
But unlike all the other threatening strigoi
She was mumbling and she didn't look strigoi
She was back
"When did you restore her?" I asked
"Right after I left seeing you we needed her first so all the other turnings could be faster."
"There letting you do that." I asked
They usually would want the Dragomir princess away from strigoi even if it was safe to be near them
"Well I practically can get what I want now since there's no Tatiana and the council could care less they got bigger problems."
'like….?"
"You"
"Point taken so she'll wake up soon."
"We think because she's a spirit user she's taking the changes a bit slower."
"I just want her to wake up." Mikhail said desperately
Lissa touching his shoulder "she will"
I didn't feel like staying to see any more tears
"You know lissa I think I better go find all my stuff and all."
"Don't worry there all in my room, oh and don't worry your room is next to mine so you can keep an eye on me."
I smiled "fine"
Before I walked out I took one last look at the imprisoned strigoi
They were still screaming their heads off and some gave not so scary glares
Most were towards me when I walked up the stairs
Then a guardian came up to me
"Someone has requested your visit." He said
I didn't
Recognize him and I looked back to lissa and Dimitri and seeing they were distracted I could to a little snooping
"Who?" I whispered
"Ambrose Dashkov"
Nahhh…..i don't really want to talk to that bastard
But…
"No thanks but can you take me to Anisim Szelsky cell instead."
He looked at me in shock
But agreed
"Come this way guardian Hathaway."
And led me to the back doors
Saying "DO NOT ENTER!"
And at the bottom "only certified guardians."
Oh well
He opened the door for me I walked in to see he was the only prisoner in this top secret part
I stood there for a second "can I be alone with him?" I asked
He nodded and walked out
Leaving me in the top secret area alone and with Anisim behind bars
This was going to be fun
I heard footsteps going over to his cell
They weren't his accomplice trying to break him out
They were me
About to give him a piece of his mind
Karma is a ******
Sorry I took so long know its short but I just don't know how much I can update now Cuz I got to study like crazy for the midterms
Fun
Especially tomorrow I'm surprised I actually got this done tonight
Well hope you liked it
And give me your ideas on what's going to happen
With Rose and Anisim time
OH I can feel my evil laughter already
Review and I hope this isn't getting boring
