Hey everyone! I hope you liked my first chapter!
I OWN NOTHING!
I woke up to the sound of people shouting. What the hell was going on? As I listened I noticed that one of the voices was Lissa, she wasn't yelling but she was clearly in the middle of an argument. The other person however was screaming like there's no tomorrow. I recognized the voice but I couldn't quite figure out who it was.
"What do you know about law?" screamed the person I didn't know.
"I assure you I know enough to help free Rose." replied Lissa calmly.
"I have had enough of this. Let's ask Rose what she thinks."
"That seems like a reasonable request."
I heard footsteps coming down the corridor, when I realised the only person who would be arguing with Lissa about her representing me in court would be… Abe.
Oh great, I'm in for it now…
"Rose, please explain to Lissa that I will be representing you in court!" Yeah, probably should have asked Abe before saying yes to Lissa.
"Abe… um… well… I kinda want Lissa to be my 'lawyer' I said. I was ready for him to start yelling at me too, but, he didn't.
"Ok," he sighed. "If this is what you want then Lissa can be your 'lawyer' so to speak, but would it be alright if I maybe helped her… you know with the case?"
I looked at him with shock. I was completely surprised that he didn't start screaming at me, but I still wanted his help.
"Of course… Dad" he looked at me with surprise. I had never called him 'Dad' before.
"Dad, it has a nice ring to it." he said with a smile.
After saying goodbye to me and planning a meeting with Lissa so they could discuss my case, Abe left me and Lissa to talk.
"He still cares about you, you know." she didn't need to say who she was talking about. "He just can't forgive himself for everything he did while he was Strigoi, especially what he did to you."
I already knew that but I wanted Lissa to feel like she had helped anyway.
"Thanks Liss but I really don't feel like talking about that right now."
She didn't push it, probably because she didn't have much more to say. Instead she started talking about the trial. I only half heard what she was talking about because my mind kept wondering to Dimitri. I think she finally realised I wasn't paying attention and just said she would see me tomorrow at the trial.
Now that was a shock to the system. Tomorrow would decide if I was guilty of murdering Queen Tatiana or if I would walk away a free woman.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Will Rose be cleared of all charges or will she be sentenced to death? You'll have to read to find out!
