I'm so sorry it's taken forever and a day to get back to doing this story but everything went up in air after Christmas and I've only just managed to get back on track and fix this story, however I hope you will all like this chapter and my apologies again

Lissa's Pov

Chris and I left Rose at the hospital I knew she would be safe and well looked after, I'd given everyone the order to not let Rose out of that room till I said so. Chris and I made our way to her apartment but along the way we picked up her parents. I felt worn out and in need of some sleep but those things would have to wait. Along the way I told them of what I was about to do, there were mixed reactions, her mother looked shocked that I would do this but I had to help her remember the person she really was and fight this demon that had taken hold. Chris never said a word and he didn't have too his emotions were all over his face.

"Lissa you know you're the only one that could get away with doing this"

Abe looked at me with some respect not respect of being queen but with respect out of going into this new Rose's home and getting rid of everything that isn't our Rose and replacing it with stuff that was her. No sooner had I unlocked the door a removal van appeared.

"Lissa I hope you pray the whole time you're doing this"

Chris's input on this whole thing, I'm so very glad, I gave him a look and he nodded understanding that I needed to this not for me but for Rose. We entered the house to our surprise it was neutral colours everywhere. We stopped in the living room and I laid boxes in rows in front of the couch.

"ok it looks like the main problem is her room, so if you all don't mind as I'm still feeling a bit off bringing me everything in her room and I'll sort it out, everything that is leather is to be put straight out minus her leather coats, she can still keep them, and a few black items they will be good for her new covert ops department"

Janine was looking at me like I'd lost my mind then a few moments later decided to voice her opinion

"Lissa, Rose is no longer a royal guard?"

"no she is not, Rose will still be head Guardian but I've been having reports from all over the country of the things she's been doing and I think covert ops will be good for her, she will be present at royal events though" Janine nodded and went to Rose's room and bring back what looked like a jumbled mess of straps and chains I soon found out it was in fact a few tops they soon all went in the bin boxes, Abe brought out Rose's coats I left out the plain black one, her other long duster, a red leather one and a really nice black coat with a huge fur collar and fur cuffs. We done this in silence I think we were all saying a final good bye to bitch Rose and I don't know about the rest but I liked it.

The sun was rising by the time we'd finished and I still had loads to do, Rose's wardrobe was now down to all her heeled shoes apart from those awful biker and Goth boots, she still had a pair of thigh high boots even I couldn't throw out, she had a few pairs of black jeans some sweaters and that was it oh and most of her intimates.

"It's time to go home I think your majesty" Abe called out from the kitchen

I smiled at him as he came back holding a tray of coffee for us all I gladly took a mug but shook my head

"Not for me I still have to restock her wardrobe with old Rose things and repaint that dingy black and red room"

Abe nodded and sat with me I looked around and found that it was only us.

"Where are Janine and Chris?"

"they left, well I made them leave, this my dear was something we had to do, you see most of this stuff came from me and you know Rose the best apart from Belikov, I'm afraid without realising it I helped turn my little girl into a monster"

I gave Abe a reassuring hug he tensed but returned it with a gentle one of his own

"I can say that I hardly knew Rose since Dimitri turned up, she changed so much since she met him she'd become a guardian, he knows her better than anyone"

There was a knock at the door, I went to answer it but Abe gently pushed me down

"No wait here"

Shortly after Abe returned with Adrian and Dimitri, both were holding cans of paint and brushes

"We want our Rose back" Adrian stated

I nodded and handed them the sketch I had for Rose's new room. Their eyebrows shot up,

"We're going to need lot more things that this" muttered Dimitri

Abe grabbed a hold of Adrian and went to the kitchen. Abe clearly had an idea

"Your majesty, how have you been feeling?"

Dimitri gently sat beside me I knew how he was feeling he was missing Rose, Rose blames him but it was not all his fault some of the blame is my own. I really had to have a talk with Rose and tell her.

My cell rang it was the hospital

"Your majesty Rose is awake" the nurse said

"Sedate her, I'm not finished yet" I snapped and ended the call as I looked up I was staring a three shocked faces

"Your majesty, have you just given the order for Rose to be sedated?" Dimitri asked me shock and his voice rose a little

I could deny it and I vowed not to lie anymore

"Yes I have, she needs time to heal and I need time to get this done, she can bitch at me later for it"

"Lissa what the hell you just can't have Rose sedated like that" Adrian clearly shocked at this

"Listen here pup, they both need this and Lissa is doing something we never had the balls to do so if you don't like it there's the door" Abe snapped

Adrian shrunk a little and soon enough he backed down

"look I'm going to get the rest of the stuff we need and get try haggle some extremely early delivery dates"

Abe handed him a card and glared at him but Adrian declined and left

Soon Abe and Dimitri were up stairs throwing down all of Rose's old things, I went to stand up and my hands touched a belt I looked down and it was a gun belt I picked it up to put in a box but gold lettering caught my eye. Dearest Comrade was written on it, that's when it hit me, Dimitri has been wearing this for the last few weeks, it must have been from Rose but when did she give it to him, they've only fought since she's been back. I put the matter aside for now and began calling every store I knew Rose used to like and began ordering her new clothes and dresses and things in. I could hear Abe and Dimitri talking up stairs in hushed voices but the sound of the front door closing distracted me from finding out what they were saying, Chris appeared with food, I left it on the table for the guys then shouted up to them

"Chris is here there's food on the table I'm going to the feeders"

Abe appeared at the top of the steps a slight frown on his face

"Lissa why don't you call and get two to come over after all you are queen also you'll have more time here"

I smiled and almost hit myself in the head so I called for the feeders they came and left then I began to load the truck with all of Rose's old things. The heavy stuff was loaded by Adrian and Chris.

THREE DAYS LATER

We were all exhausted but we all felt better knowing that this was giving Rose the nudge she needed to be her again. The guys had done an amazing job upstairs. Rose's room had neutral walls with dark solid wood furniture and a pale blue cover with some pale blue cushions and a soft dark brown blanket. The floor was done in solid dark oak with a soft fluffy rug that was big enough to sit the bed on. We all marvelled at the guys' handy work.

"We're not finished yet guys"

They all groaned even Abe that was the time Janine appeared

"Did I just hear the Abe Mazur groan like a teenager" she was laughing and it was a good sound.

"Shut up love now's not the time" he mumbled

I told them the rest of my plan, which was to redo the whole house, but keeping the theme neutral.

TWO WEEKS LATER

"Your majesty, are you still having Rose sedated?" Dimitri was sitting at the new kitchen table drinking hot chocolate

I sat across from him with my own mug and shook my head

"I've only had to sedate her twice but since the second time she's just slept I hope she wakes up soon, any longer and she'll go into a coma"

Dimitri flew out of the house without a word to anyone slamming the door on his way out

"What's going on in there?" snapped Abe

I went in to the living room to explain

"He's gone to wake Rose up"

Everyone nodded knowing that if anyone could wake her up it was him

"Abe have those bikes of hers crushed immediately"

Abe nodded and was making calls

"Lissa I don't think that would be a good idea"

"Chris none of this was a good idea but it is what Rose needs to get better"

Chris never said a word but he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Now if you'll all excuse me I have to go and take care of my neglected duties"

"I'm staying here; those royals hate it when I'm around"

I gave Chris a kiss and a much needed hug he walked me to the front door and planted a passionate kiss on my lips and smiled.

I silently walked through court I was vaguely aware of the three guardians following. I was lost in thought as many people bowed to me. I just hope that Rose wakes up and she is herself again but then again I know it will take some time before I get my Rose back, so fingers crossed and yes I'm praying for her. I know when I see her next she will have a few harsh words for me but then again I have some for her too.

Well I hope everyone enjoyed that I enjoyed writing it
