RPOV

As I woke up I looked around to find myself in a car with three other girls looking around my age with scared expressions. I tried to get up realizing I was chained up so tightly I felt my blood pouring down my wrists.

"Well hello sunshine now that you up!" said an unfamiliar voice; it was a human man.

He had green bottomless eyes that seemed to go on forever and dark shaggy hair. Looking around I saw that all the girls were moroi but none who I recognised. Most were probably non-royals. Why did they want us? What have we done? Suddenly I wasn't in the car anymore but thrown over a man's shoulder as I was knocked out again.

Part of the link Rose and I shared meant I could tell where she was or wasn't; she was my baby sister. I was supposed to protect her but I could tell she was no longer in the wards. Didn't she know strigoi were after her?

As I paced up and down waiting for a report from the guardians who have gone out looking for her; my father was trying to settle my mother. Christian was holding his head in his hands in guilt. I think he was compelled as well as Lissa but Lissa must have had alcohol or something.

"Lissa have u had an alcohol or something recently?"

She looked confused but answered anyway; "No but Jessie gave me a drink of water earlier when we had a talk."

I swear steam was coming out from my ears as I thought about that little weasel who has been trying to get in Rose's pants from day one. I stood up fast and walked straight to the door only to be blocked by Alberta.

"Where are you going?" she asked me giving me a stern glare.

"I am going to sort out that little weasel!" I yelled a little too loudly.

"Adrian!" everyone yelled at me.

"Jesse Zeklos compelled them and gave something to Lissa so he could compel her!" I yelled at them frustrated they weren't listening to me.

Alberta the voice of reason went and got Jessie bringing him back here. Let the torture begin...
