RPOV

"What about Rose?" Lissa asked, shit, the queen knew I was back.

RPOV

"I know she is back and that she is staying with you. I want to know where she has been the past three years and why she thinks she can just walk back in here without a care in the world!" The queen roared, Lissa took a deep breath and waited for her to calm down, it appears she has learnt to deal with the queen. "And for you to just let her, as if nothing happened. She is not a guardian anymore and she is not welcome here!" The queen screeched.

"That's not fair, she hasn't hur-" Lissa began pleading.

"Give me one reason why she should be aloud here?" The queen interrupted glaring at Lissa.

"Because she is" She took a deep breath. No Lissa, please, don't I mentally begged her.

"What, because she is what?" The queen asked fiercely.

"The slayer." Lissa finished quietly.

"What?" The queen gasped disbelievingly.

"It's true all her stories matched up with where the slayer has been." Lissa said, which was a lie, but would be true if the event ever occurred. "You can't kick her out, please I just got her back." She begged now.

The Queen thought through this for a minute before she finally said. "I want to see her."

I pulled myself back into my own head.

"Rose, whats happened?" Dimitri asked, from beneath me.

"The queen knows I'm back and she want to see me. She knows I'm the slayer." I whispered, his mouth formed a little o and we both sat there in shock. "Come on," I said after a minute. "I have to get ready." I got off the bed, walking into my closet. "Can you come with me?" I asked sadly from the closet, I felt pathetic, but it hurt to even think about being away from him.

"I wouldn't want it any other way." He whispered, wrapping his arms around me from behind.

I stood there looking at my cloth, trying to decide what to wear. My phone rang and I escaped my closet to answer it.

"Hey Lis." I said, walking back into my closet.

"How did you know it was me." She asked confused.

I shrugged, "You are the only one that has the number." I told matter-of-factorially.

"Ow. Fair enough. So umm," She stuttered.

"Yeah, I know I got the message."

"Okay good, I didn't know if you were there of not."

"You called I came. I will always come Lis." I told her truthfully.

"Thanks Rose. So yeah she said she wants you here as soon as possible, so hurry up." She told me.

"Yeah I am just getting dressed, and Dimitri is coming." I wasn't giving them a choice.

"I don't know if that's-" I cut her off.

"Lis if he doesn't come, I don't come, she can deal with it." I told her.

She sighed heavily. "Fine just hurry up."

"Luv you see you soon." I said hanging up the phone. I looked around my closet once more. I wanted to look nice, but not be dressing up for her. I picked a nice pair of dark denim jeans that fit perfectly, a simple black top that was also beautiful and a pair of black boots that went with the top. I brushed my hair out and it went half way down my thighs. I did my make-up a bit too – mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss. I walked out of the bathroom, Dimitri was sitting on my bed, fully dressed and looking perfect.

"You look beautiful" He whispered, standing up and kissing me on the fore head, he ran his fingers through my hair. "Perfect." H whispered. "Ready," he asked after a moment.

I broke out of my haze blinking at him. "Not at all so lets go." I said linking my arm through his.

We met no one on our way out of the house, I guessed they were all around court on various errands and other things. Dimitri and I got a lot of strange looks as we walked through court. I saw several faces I recognized, but none of them saw me, for which I was glad, I didn't need to get side tracked right now.

Wed arrived at the Queens building and nodded to the guard before going inside, we stopped outside her office. There was a receptionists desk to the left of her door and three guardians in the room, all of the still as statues, apart from their eyes.

"How may I help you?" The receptionist asked.

"The queen is expecting us." I told her.

"Okay one second," she said before talking into her head piece. I took a deep breath and squeezed Dimitri's hand, my stomach was doing back flips I was so nervous. Dimitri smiled encouragingly at me, but I could see how nervous he was too. "Okay please go in." The lady said, I nodded at her and opened the door, entering the room quickly, dragging Dimitri in behind me.

The queen was sitting behind her desk, arms crossede over her chest staring intently at Lissa, who was sitting on the other side of the desk in the same position. They stared at each other for a minute more before the queen looked away and up at us.

"Rose sit." She said stiffly. I nodded and went to take a seat, Dimitri went to stand with the other guardians against the wall, but I held his hand forcing him to stand next to my chair. The Queen stared at me intently.

"Is it true?" She asked suddenly.

"Is what true?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Don't play dumb with me!" She shouted, then she looked at Dimitri. "And what exactly are you doing here Belikov?" She asked him icily.

"I am with Rose." He stated, a smile smile playing at his lips, she scowled at him.

"Why?" She spat.

"Because I love her." He told her truthfully.

"That is not aloud." She told him, my heart sank.

"Actually it is." Said Lissa. "Guardians are aloud relationships, just like we are. There is no rule against it. The fact that they are still here is amazing, most guardians run when they find love. And unless you would like to lose, not only two of your best guardians, but myself and Christian as well as Adrian you would want to drop it now." The queens jaw dropped and so did mine. I couldn't believe Lissa had said that, it wasn't something she said, that was more my kind of thing.

I was starting to realize how much she had changed since I had left.

I watched as the queen ran through everything Lissa had said, she sighed and but dropped it.

"Rose is it true you are the slayer." She said slowly, glaring at me, daring me to answer.

"Yes." I whispered.

"Prove it." She said, and I sighed.

"How?" I asked.

"Dates, locations, numbers." She stated.

I thought for a moment. "Two months ago, I was in Chicago, I was there for there weeks and killed a total of..." I thought for a moment, counting back. "nineteen Strigoi. I was surprised, there weren't many there, it wasn't long before the city was empty of them. I reported fourteen of my kills to the Alchemists there." I paused, the queen scribbled this down, no doubt to check it our later. "Six moths before that eight months ago, I did LA, it was infested I stayed there for two months and killed fifty-six Strigoi. Forty-two were reported." I paused again, then started listing off cities. "New york, Washington, Atlanta, Seattle, Phoenix, Detroit, Miami, ." I listed off cities at random, that I had been to. That I had killed at, some more than others"If I don't find any Strigoi for a week or so depending on the size of the city I move on to another one, sometimes I would use the news, others it would just be where I felt like it." I finished, not looking at anyone, just at my hand, tangled with Dimitri's. It was a moment before anyone spoke.

The Queen picked up her phone and spoke into in quickly, the room was quiet again after that. A minute later the receptionists came in a placed a heap of files on the desk and hurried out of the room again.

The queen opened one of the manila folders and I read the title.

Slayer Profile

The picture was blank.

Name: Unknown.

Age: Unknown.

Gender: Unknown.

Address: Unknown.

Species: Unknown.

I smiled at myself. Ha! They didn't know anything. She started going through the files, comparing the information I had given her to that on profile.

"And you say you have killed how many?" She asked, without looking up.

"Three hundred and Sixty seven." I said stiffly, death was nothing to be proud of.

"It says here the slayer is held accountable for just under three hundred deaths to date. Explain that." She said.

"As I said before, I did not always report my kills, sometimes there was no need to." I stated calmly, she nodded stiffly, before looking and the files again.

I looked at Lissa who gave me a weak smile.

'Thank you.' I mouthed, and she smiled wider.

'luv you' she mouthed back.

'Love you too.' I smiled at her before turning back to the Queen.

She huffed in frustrations before leaning back in her chair.

"With the evidence given I am inclined to believe that you are telling the truth. Rose is the slayer." Dimitri squeezed my hand. "I will be arranging a ceremony, she will have to me presented with her marks, it is the rule. Although I don't know that they will all fit, she will have to got seven cinquanta marks and seventeen molnija marks." I was beyond confused, what the fuck was a cinquanta mark.

"Umm what is a cinquanta mark exactly." I asked.

The Bitch looked annoyed, what wasn't I aloud to ask a question now?.

"It is a mark that stands for fifty molnija no one alive today has one, but it still exists." I nodded, pretending to understand. So this cinquanta mark was like a super Molnija mark? Cool, saved my neck, literally. "Here" She trust a piece of paper at me. "This is it." I grabbed the paper.

On it was on simple desing, it had been enlarge to take up most of the page, at the top it was labeled

Cinquanta Mark

ξ

I liked the design it was nice and simple. I handed her back the paper.

"Please leave now, I have business to attend to." She waved us towards the door.

We stood up.

"And Lissa, don't forget the ball. How is that coming?"

"Everything will be ready in time." Lissa answered.

"Good." She said and we left the room. I let out a big breath as if I had been holding it the whole time.

"I have to go meet with people to organize this ball." said Lissa apologetically.

"It's okay Lis, I know you can't drop everything just because I am here."

"Thanks Rose, I'll see you at home later." She gave me a quick hug before hurrying off.

"What would you like to do?" Asked Dimitri.

"I don't know, we could just walk around, or go back to your place, or go get something to eat." I said carelessly, I didn't care as long as I was with him.

"Food sounds good." I nodded, and we started walking to the food section of court, where there were all these little cafe's offer all different types of food. We sat down outside the same Cafe I went to the day before.

"So is there anyone here I should know about, before I get ambushed again." I asked, remembering yesterdays meeting with Adrian.

"I Believe your friend Eddie is visiting with his Moroi and there and others from the academy here, both Dhampir and Moroi, but otherwise I don't know. I haven't exactly been social while being here." He admitted sheepishly.

A lady came and took our order.

Dimitri and I talked, it was like we had never been apart, there was still the dark shadow lingering in the background but as we talked and laughed it just got smaller and smaller.

We got our food and continued to talk as we ate, I was taking a drink when I heard.

"ROSEMARIE HATHAWAY!" I dropped my drink, I turned my head to see my mother stalking down the street right at me. I gulped and stood up. I would not be intimidated by her. Or at least I wouldn't let her know I was intimidated by her.
