Chapter Thirteen

"Who is RD?" I said, "Could it be a Moroi rebel?"

"I don't know," Eddie said, glaring down at the note, "But we have to find out."

We stayed up all night, discussing what we should do next. We all agreed that we needed to find out how RD was, but how could we do that?

The next morning, we still had no answers. Nevertheless, we all went to the airport to meet Rose and Dimitri.

"So, what's the plan?" Rose asked, eager as ever for action. "What clues do we have?"

"Well, we have this," Eddie said, holding out the note to Rose. Rose studied it for a moment, and then realisation lit her dark eyes.

"Oh my God," She muttered. "It's Robert Deru!"

"Who?" I asked her, confused. Could Robert Deru be a Moroi assassin? And if so, why would he have left such a note? Why leave us a clue?

"He's Victor Dashkov's crazy brother," Rose exclaimed, "He and his brothers tried to capture her before. We went after them and well ... I killed Victor in the struggle."

"So, you're saying he wants revenge?" Eddie asked her anxiously.

"Yeah," Replied Rose grimly, "And I think I know what we should do."

After Rose's shocking news, we went back to Amberwood and Rose immediately called the queen. After a brief conversation, she turned back to us with a grim but determined look on her face.

"All right, I'm going to call Robert and put an end to this."

"But how?" I asked, "Surely he won't even answer to you. Especially if he's as paranoid as you say."

"Oh, he'll answer," Rose said, and began to dial the number.

"Hello, is that Robert?" Rose said into the phone, "Yes, this is Rose Hathaway, the one who killed your brother."

There is a long, ominous silence and then, Rose's face went white. "No, don't. She's innocent! Where are you? No... I'll come to you. Yes, three o'clock. Okay." She hung up the phone and turned back to us.

"Okay, I've got a plan."
