Chapter 17

RPOV

We got to the academy and I was still clutching on Dimitri's shirt if my life dependent on it. I was shaking and tears wont stop. He kept murmuring to me in russian I didn't understand anything but they calmed me a little.

"Rose we have to go." Dimitri said and I just didn't want to leave him. I didn't want him to leave me alone. I want him to stay with me and tell me its all a dream and everything will be ok. He got out of the car and picked me up again knowing I was not going to move. I didn't have the energy to move. He walked and I think he brought me to the infirmary. He placed me down on the bed.

"Dr. Olendski can you check her if everything is ok. She is not reacting to anything." Dimitri said to the doctor.

And doctor did her thinks. She first checked my pulse, my blood pressure and put a really bright light in my eye and to my surprise I did not even blink. Maybe something is wrong with me.

"She is shocked which has made her system shut down. Sleep will help and maybe get her to talk or to react on something." Doctor said to her.

"She stays here or can go to her room?" Dimitri asked.

"There is no need for her to stay here. There are no physical injuries, just mentally."

"Would she be ok? How would she come out of the shock state?"

"Normally talking is enough but getting her to react on something will work."

"Ok, thanks" I could hear them but I cant react to anything why? Why is my mind just stuck to one thing? All I see is Lissa's dead body and her eyes. He shocked eyes. I felt Dimitri's hands on me and he lifted me up again. Unknowingly I wrapped my hands around his neck and put my face in his neck. Adrian was no where. Where is he? Dimitri opened a door and walked in closing the door behind him. He put me down on the bed and I clutched to his shirt. No wanting to let go. He sat down with me on the bed.

"Roza you have to sleep. I will come tomorrow for now rest." I didn't say anything but clutched his shirt tighter if that was even possible.

"Roza you have to let me go. I have to go and check everything." I was not having any of that. I didn't let his shirt go. I didn't want him to leave. Don't leave me alone. I said in my head thinking he will hear me. All he did was pushed his shoes off and took my shoes of and laid down and I laid down to. He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled into him.

"Roza it's ok. You are ok. You didn't do anything. I am not going to let anything happen to you." He tried soothing me. I don't know what I was feeling and why I could not bring my self to talk. I felt empty from inside. Like something was missing a big whole. I could no longer sense any emotions. It was weird. I wanted to talk to Dimitri but I just cant. I can't bring my self to talk.

"Roza, just sleep." And he started murmuring stuff in russian again. It calmed me down and I just got lost in his voice that I did not even know when I fell asleep.

DPOV

We made it back to the academy in about fifteen minutes on the regular speed. I kept murmuring in Russian to her trying to relax her. It was just a baby lullaby. When we had to come out of the car she would not let go of me so I picked her up again and went to the infirmary making sure she was ok. The doctor checked her up and said she is just shock. I should let her sleep or try to do something that she will react on, yes that will work great. I told Adrian to go back to his dorm. He is definitely in trouble.

I picked Rose up again and took her to her room knowing she wont be walking. When I sat her on the bed she would not let go of me. And if it was even possible she tighten her hold on my shirt. She asked me not to go and I couldn't. I couldn't leave her like this. So I laid down with her and wrapped my arms around her. Her thoughts and emotions were mixed. Even I felt the hole in her. He emotions were less and the darkness was not there — the one from Lissa.

I know how it feels to have your bond mate dead. It's the hardest and weirdest feeling. I went to her head and that time I could just feel what she felt. She felt a hole in her something was missing as if someone has taken a part of her body out. I can never think of Rose in Lissa's position I could never live with that. I know it will be hard for Rose but I will help her get over this. I murmured again in Russian the baby lullaby until she fell asleep.

I didn't want to leave her. She just looked like an angel but I have to. Everyone must be going crazy right now. Kirova would be having a panicked attack and Alberta would be giving orders to all the guardians and making phone calls to everyone. I kissed Rose on the forehead and tried to free my shirt from her tiny hands. Compared to my hands they were tiny. I got up and she stirred a little but thank god didn't wake up. Ill be back before she does. I pulled the sheet up on her and brushed some hair out of her face. If I don't go now I wont leave her. I quickly left the room and made my way to Alberta's office.

She was not there so I went to the guardian's meeting room. Most of the guardians are here not the ones who are doing patrolling. Alberta was standing in the middle while all of them circled around her. She looked at me and asked,

"How is she?" All of them turned to look at me.

"I took her to the infirmary Dr. Olendski said no physical harm but mentally. She is shocked from the events. She is not able to do anything."

"What about Adrian?"

"I sent him to his room since it's sleeping hours. Any punishment will be giving tomorrow."

"Headmistress is informing at the court of Princess Vasillisa. Rose, Adrian and you might have to go to court if the interview takes place there, if not all of you will be allowed to attend her funeral at the court after the arrangements have been made."

"What does this mean Alberta?" I asked. She knew what I meant.

"I don't know yet. Hell will break over there would be a lot of politics that will be played and all of the Royal Moroi will try for Rose and Adrian to go jail for a trial and worse punishment will be announced."

"That is not fair." To my surprise Stan said that.

"I know those two should have informed us before leaving on their own to find her."

"All both of them did was to protect her. This no way that they should be arrested and go through a trial they are witnesses not suspects." Mikhail said. Wow they are supporting them.

"I understand this and I don't want them to be arrested to. We will have to wait and see." Alberta said really disappointed she knew it what will happen and also all the guardians standing in the room.

"Adrian will get clear of this because he is the Queens grandson. Nathan Ivashkov will do everything possible in hands to save him what about Rose?" Stan asked. I thought he hated Rose? And he did have a point.

"Rose don't deserve this Alberta. We know she has been rebellious but she don't deserve this." Gordon said.

"I know but we cant do anything. We all know the orders are going to be to arrest Rose and Adrian and most likely Adrian will free by the end of the day. There is not much we can do." Alberta knew all this. All of us guardians knew politics.

"Their must be a way." Alex said.

"There is no way out of this. An investigation will happen and that will not happen by any of us. Special team will be coming with highly trained Moroi and Damphire. Interviews will happen. They have a harsh way of getting information out. If its prove Rose is just a witness the punishment will be less cruel."

"Rose is a witness." I said.

"Alberta, Rose can never kill anyone. Yes, she stands her grounds and do whatever she like but you and all of us know she can never kill an innocent and out of all people Princess Vasillisa Dragomir. They were best friends." Mikhail said and everyone else agreed with him. I was surprised how these guardians were supporting her, when I thought they never liked her but who could not like Rose?

"I know she cant kill anyone but who will believe us? We cannot fight against all these Moroi and prove that Rose is innocent. No one will listen to us we are just Damphire." She was right. No one will believe us even I don't have the power to fight the Moroi and we cant even run from here now. Security will be tight and if we ran away they will think Rose did kill Vasillisa.

"We will wait till tomorrow. As Dimitri said Rose is mentally not ok and is in shock. They wont be able to anything with her like this so we have to just wait." Yes we have to wait.

"Go back to your duties and whoever is not on duty go to your rooms and rest tomorrow is going to be a long day." We all walked out to go to our room. I have to do something. Shit I have to get rid of the gun before the investigation team got here. They will search every single thing. I have to get rid of her finger prints from the gun and get rid of it.

"Belikov wait up." It was Mikhail and I turned around. Mikhail, Stan, Gordon, and Alex stood there.

"We have to do something. We cant let Rose life get destroyed." Gordon said.

"I know but I don't know what we can do right now. We have to wait till investigation team gives her a clear then we can deal with all the politics."

"No, you don't know. Come with us." Stan said and I followed them we came to a room for guardians to rest. Stan locked it behind him. We all took seats and I looked at them to talk because I have to go to Roza.

"So?" I said for them to start.

"We have to do something she cant be executed like this. She is a brilliant guardian and we cant just lose her for stupid politics and benefits of Moroi." Mikhail said.

"We cant do anything until we don't know what will happen." I said what the hell is wrong with them.

"No when you guys left you do know what happened, with your sister Viktoria. Rose did that. Damphire don't have magic and on top something like that. Then all of you put a stunt out with the strigoi. You used magic. Adrian and Rose did and most of the elements. This was all reported at court. Council members want to do a test on you all. All three of you damphire and used magic. It has never been herd before. Adrian and you will get of the hook since you both are grandsons of the queen but what about Rose? Have you thought what will happen to her?" Gordon said and to be honest I have never put a thought to this before.

"They cant do anything unless she is prove guilty." I said.

"Council members will do anything in their power to prove her guilty even if she is not. Just to get her. And think about what they will do to her scientists will just do crazy things with her." Stan said. I looked at him and asked,

"Why are you favouring her? You never liked her."

"Yes, I never like her behaviour but she is one of the novice that we all respect in the heart. She does what her heart say and don't do slavery like we do. She is the first person that think sometimes it's good to think about your self and put your self first. She tried to protect her charge at the age of fifteen. All of us guardians know Vasillisa lied when you got them back. She was different and the way she behaved with Rose gave it away. Rose came to this academy when she was five. She held her mothers hand so tight didn't want her to leave her but her mother did. Since then she has been at the academy her holidays were spent here with us until the Dragmoirs took her in. She made us all laugh most of us don't have kids and we never felt the need because we had her here with us." Wow shock of the day well the second shock of the day. I don't even know what to think.

"So what can we do? The investigation will prove her innocent because no one has any proof that she killed Vasillisa and I am the witness. I have seen Victor with the gun. She will get clear." I said and before anyone could say anything I was in a room. A girls room there sat a blond on the floor playing with her doll and looked at me.

"Rose you want to play with me?" She asked me. The scene changed again. I was in a store with Lissa holding some top out to me.

"This will look great on you Rose." Now I was in a living room with Christmas decorations. Lissa was here to.

"This is for you Rose." And gave me a box. Memories kept coming and at last I was standing in the woods. Lissa standing in front of me with her wide shocked eyes. The eyes that were burned in me now. I woke up screaming my lungs out.

I was brought back to my body. This felt as if I was having the dream. I cannot get use to the bond. I looked up all three of them were staring at me. I got up and said,

"I have to go." And ran to the damphire novices dorm. I was in front of her door in seconds. I opened it up and went inside. She sat on the bed panting and shaking. Tears were coming out of her eyes. I went to her and held her. She put her face in my chest and I just held her.

"It's ok Roza. It was just a dream." I kept saying soothing words to her. She calmed down and she looked up at me. We were so close just inches away.
