Hey all! Another Monday, another chapter of RR... Sorry this is a little late in the day! Classes are kicking my butt. I hope you all like this chapter! I had fun writing it!

Disclaimer: You know who I own by now, if you don't... That's kind of sad...

Roza's POV:

I walked down the hall to Alli's room. I slowly opened the door and froze. It looked like the room had been hit by a tornado, but it was more likely it was a hurricane, Hurricane Alli to be exact...I looked over at her with raised eyebrows. "What happened?"

"They are going to say no."

"You don't know that..."

"Yes I do, they are a bunch of uptight assholes that are scared of what they don't know."

I smiled and hugged her tight. "That's true, but there are a lot of people out there that love you too."

"I still don't want them judging me and deciding my fate."

"We shouldn't let them."

I turned and looked at Ella. "You aren't helping."

Alli locked eyes with her little sister. "What are you saying?"

She smiled at us. "I'm say we Dhampirs, we guardians, choose our OWN destiny for once..."

I stood there for a moment and then broke into a wide grin. "Gabriella Ivashkov, you are BRILLIANT!"

Alli looked at me. "What? Why is she brilliant?"

"We shouldn't even let them vote."

"Okay... How does that help us?"

"We just go."

Alli started to chew on her bottom lip. "I don't want to leave again..."

Ella walked closer to her sister and smiled. "It's okay, I'll be with you, and so will Roza. And it's not like before, you are choosing happiness for once. We aren't letting anyone tell us what to do anymore... We are staging a coup!"

Alli then did something I hadn't seen her do in awhile... She smiled.

Lissa's POV:

We all sat around the conference table arguing. I couldn't understand why, I knew Roza and AJ were never going to get the votes they needed. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I looked up at Adrian who was standing at the head of the table with a empathetic grin. He was trying so hard to secure AJ's happiness, but sometimes, as I had learned, you don't always get your happy ending. Suddenly, the door to the meeting room flew opened and Prince Conta jumped up. "Excuse me, this is a closed meeting." I looked over to see AJ and Ella Ivashkov, as well as my own daughter, walking in in official guardian clothing.

I stood and looked at my daughter. "What do you think you are doing?"

Roza smiled at me as she reached for her stake. "Staging a coup."

AJ and Ella followed in suit and I couldn't help laughing. "You know only one of you is a sanctioned guardian right?"

Ella stepped forward. "That maybe true, but I am on course to graduate early, with honors, from St. Vlad's." She looked over at AJ, "And as you all know, my sister showed tremendous promise when she was at the academy and now is even stronger. I think the three of us can take you on..."

The council all scooted back a little as AJ stepped forward. "Thankfully, it isn't going to come to that. Ella, Roza, and I have come to a decision."

I watched as Ibrahim crossed his arms over his chest with a smug smile. "And what is that exactly?"

The three girls held their arms out, and in unison, dropped their stakes to the ground. Roza looked at me with defiance in her eyes. "We quit."

Well, What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions!

See you next week!
