Sorry for being so late in putting my chapter up, I've just been so busy. But I've finally got time now to do some, which I'm so glad, I've missed writing the story.
Chapter Four
It didn't take long to reach Lissa's mind, she is awake and getting herself ready, but wait a minute she's talking to someone, but I can't make out who it is yet. "I'm sure she is very angry, what do you expect, for god's sake I would be" Well whoever she's speaking to, she's giving them a right telling off, that's not like Lissa at all. "Vasilisa, you didn't see her, she didn't even look at me at first, it's like it wasn't her". I see, it's Dimitri, well I don't want to listen to this. Hold on, someone just knocked, "Vasilisa Dragomir, are you awake, I have a message for you". Lissa got up and opened the door, thank god it's Mikhail at last. "May I help you, Guardian Mikhail?" "I have a message from Rose for you". I heard someone shout then, "You're the man who was visiting Roza the other day, who are you". Lissa looked at Dimitri, I could sense her anger towards him. "Be quiet, he has a message from Rose", wow wait a go Lissa. "Please come in and sit".
A couple of minutes later, Mikhail was sitting and Lissa was waiting for him to start. "Rose told me to tell you, she wants to see you, and from the sound of it she feels lonely and needs a friend". "Is that the whole message" Lissa spoke very softly then, I can also sense that she's hurting a lot. "I'm afraid yes that was the message, but at least she wants to see you" Mikhail is always so serious but at least he is trying to comfort her. "And when did she give you this message" Lissa turned around to Dimitri when he said that, I suspect she was glaring at him. "she gave me the message when I visited not so long ago, as you heard before, she requested to see me again" I could see through Lissa's eyes, Mikhail was smiling at Dimitri, he's having fun playing with him obviously. Mikhail got up from his chair then and was heading for the door, Lissa then spoke "Thank you for the message Guardian Mikhail". He just nodded at her and then turned to Dimitri, "You know, Belikov, the more you push Rose away, the more you will lose yourself", Dimitri growled at him then "that is none of your business", "Only a friendly warning from someone who knows what it's like to lose someone precious, and that girl is special" Lissa was looking back and forth at them both, "You know nothing about any of this" Dimitri growled. "Do I detect a hint of jealously there, for one who appears to not love Rose anymore, you are doing a very good job at acting like a jealous lover" I heard Lissa shout then, "That's enough, thank you for delivering the message Guardian Mikhail, but I think you should leave", "Of course my lady, have a good day". The door then closed.
"I don't like that guy one bit", Dimitri looked really pissed off. "Calm yourself, he was right, you are acting like a jealous lover, and before you chew my ears off, stop fooling around, you still love her, so get over yourself and try and repair things", Lissa was really pissed now too, I could hear it in her voice. "I can't do that, she has moved on with her life, it's better this way" God I hate him when he speaks in Guardian Lingo. "Then fight for her, fight for yourself as well and while you're figuring out how to do all that, I'll go visit my best friend". She went to the door and slammed it behind her. I cut the bond then and sat there waiting for her.
Thirty minutes later the door opened, she was running towards me, with tears down her face. "Rose I so glad to see you're alright, I can't believe all this is happening". I went up to the bars and hugged her, the guardians didn't like that much, "Hey step back from the bars". Lissa snapped at then "She won't hurt me, now leave us alone, I will call you when we have finished". "But Miss Dragomir, we can't" Lissa cut them off "LEAVE US" She shouted, they just bowed and left us.
"Wow Lissa, you're getting better at the whole giving orders thing". "Rose stop trying to act cheerful, I know you're about the cry" Lissa sounds a little annoyed "Lissa I'm fine, I've got more important things to worry about, I have something to show you, but you've got to promise not to freak out, we haven't got time" Lissa's face turned from annoyed to complete concern. "Rose, what is it, what's going on" Why does everyone keep asking me that? I said to myself, "Just take a look at this letter". Lissa sat there reading the letter and instead of looking completely shocked, she just looked up at me and smiled. "I have a brother or sister, no way, I can't believe it, and this was from the queen, this is proof Rose, that you couldn't be her killer, we've got to show this letter to the judge", She stopped talking for a second, "Rose how long have you had this, why haven't you shown it already", I kind of snapped a little. "Well if you give me some room to speak I'll tell you." I stopped and calmed myself down, "I'm sorry Lissa, I'm just very scared right now, but I need to explain why I can't give this Letter to the judge yet. Lissa had tears in her eyes again but nodded at me, "It's alright, please explain".
"The problem is Lissa, this letter is not proof by its self, it needs evidence to back it up, or it will go down as a fake, do you understand?" Lissa looked a little confused, "I understand where you're going, but what can we do to back up the letter?" "I'm glad you asked that, it's going to be hard but we need to find the child, remember when we were in Las Vegas, well me and Adrian spoke to a Moroi there and he mentioned your father, how he liked to go and see the showgirls" Lissa glared at me, "That's only a rumour and what's that got to do with anything" Lissa's voice was a little touchy. "Well Sydney, the alchemist I met in Russia, contacted me about some files which had gone missing from the alchemists records, files on your father, she mentioned that Eric Dragomir was sending large amounts of money to a Jane Doe in a bank account located in Las Vegas". Lissa's face looked stunned, "Rose are you suggesting, what I think you suggesting?" "Yep, I need you to get me out of here, Adrian was meant to meet me today, but as he has not arrived, you're going to have to fill him in on all this, I'll be speaking to Abe soon, he'll help you, I'm sure he already knows about all this already". "Rose be serious, you'll get into a lot of trouble for this", Lissa looked very troubled, "Lissa I'm already in a lot of trouble, but if there is a chance to find this child, it will prove that the letter is true and that I'm innocent, besides we already managed to break out one criminal, I'm sure we can do it again somehow". I didn't mention the fact that my life was on the line too. "Alright Rose, what's your plan this time?"
I gave Lissa a little smirk, "Well first we need to get Adrian on board, you two need to come up with some sort of compulsion plan with charms included I suppose, then I'm sure Abe will help with the rest", Lissa cut me off there "And what about Dimitri, he will want to help" I shouted a little "No, I don't want him involved, anyway he has to many guardians with him". Lissa looked upset "Rose, is it true how you were with Dimitri when he came to visit, he said you didn't act like yourself" my voice was slightly angry, "Yes I told him to leave, this is none of his busy, besides he doesn't need to get in more trouble, he needs to just work on being trusted again". Now Lissa looked angry "Rose, you can't mean that, he's a strong ally and the guardians don't follow him so much now, He's allowed to be alone in his quarters, it's just when he walks around the school and outside when one guardian follows him". "That's enough, I don't want to hear about all this, I don't want him involved and that's that Lissa" Lissa flinched a little at my tone. "I'm sorry Lissa, but he's hurt me bad this time, I know he's got his problems, but what he did was cruel". Lissa gave me a sad smile "I understand Rose, please continue".
I continued to tell Lissa, "Well firstly I must tell you, I don't want you or Adrian on this mission either" Lissa interrupted again "But Rose, we can help". I stopped her there "Maybe so, but I need you and Adrian to keep Dimitri out of my way and keep things going at the school". Lissa spoke again "That isn't fair, this is part of my family you are searching for, I need to be there too". "No Lissa, I can't have you on this mission, if someone thing went wrong, or if this is a trap, I don't want you hurt". Lissa snapped "Rose, I can look after myself and you can't tell me what to do". I shouted then "LISSA, CAN YOU JUST LISTEN". Lissa jumped a little, "We will sort all this out later, first things first get me out of here, second, the two people I want to take on this mission is Eddie as he will be a good form of strength and your boyfriend Christian, because he can protect himself". Lissa quickly interrupted "Wait a minute Rose, you're happy to take my Christian with you, but not me, what makes you thing he will go without me anyway". I continued to speak "Eddie will join in because he will do anything to help me, I know I can trust him and Christian will do anything for you". Lissa started acting a bit bratty 'And what makes you think I will tell them all, Yes I will help with the mission Rose, But I'm the one leading this plan so far. "Grow up Lissa, this is not some normal mission, this is serious, I wasn't going to tell you this, But my life depends on this mission, do you know they execute traitors" She started to cry them "Rose it can't be true, they wouldn't, no this can't be happening" "I'm afraid it is Lissa, now please do what I've asked, get everything together" Just as I finished talking the door opened. "Times up, you have another visitor, Mr Ibrahim Mazur ". "Go, Lissa, remember what I've said" She nodded to me and went through the door" then the door closed with Abe standing there.
He walked up to my cell "Well now, what are we scheming then, it couldn't have something to do with that letter you were given could it" I rolled my eyes at him "As if you didn't know already Old man, I suppose you interrogated Ambrose for the information". He just smirked at me "That's for me too know, so what's the plan, do you need my help in getting you out of here, I was planning on doing that anyway". I nodded my head and said "Yeah we need your help, the plan was to use compulsion to get me out" He interrupted me then "Like you did with braking out Victor" I gave him a sarcastic shocked look. "Yes little girl, I know all about that" Abe said in a mocking type of voice. 'Yeah I kind of figured you would find out about that" Abe smirked at me "Yes it was very clever in a way, but you're going to need my help getting out of here, people know you around here" I spoke a little bratty then "Yeah, Yeah I know, are you going help or not?, "Now now Rose, what's the magic word" I glared at him a bit "Please daddy, can you help me?" He started to laugh at me then. "You remind me so much of your mother, with your little quips" that's a first, I thought my mother was always serious, but I suppose she was young once, she did manage to get knocked up by this guy. "Yes I will help, I will get everything organised with Vasilisa and the rest, I'm sure she can fill me in on the plan, but it has to be during the day, you are too heavily guarded at night, Vasilisa and the others will just have to cope with the discomfort". He started to leave then "That's fine with me, I'll be seeing you later then, old man". "A little less of the Old man please and get some sleep, you'll need your strength". He knocked on the door and the guardian opened it for him, as soon as the door closed I tried to get some sleep.
It took a little while to fall asleep, but I felt a little less frustrated knowing that Abe was helping out. I assume the next time I wake up we will be all ready for action.
