Hey Everyone! Okay, well I've decided that I don't like the name of this story and I want to change it. If anyone has ANY ideas feel free to tell me by reviewing or PM me! Well, heres chapter 11, Hope you like it! R&R! :)
I returned to my room and shook my head, trying and failing to get that image out of my head.
I decided to start packing for our adventure and let Lissa have her own adventure in peace. (Once again, bad mental image).
I awoke to the sound of knocking on my door. "Ugh, go away, I'm sleeping" I mumbled.
The familiar voice of my best friend answered. "I can't Rose, it's time to go. Can you please open the door?"
I reluctantly got out of bed and shuffled over to the door. I immediately headed to the bathroom after opening it for Lissa and tried to brush out the knots my hair had formed during my nap.
"Have you finished packing yet?" Lissa called from my bedroom.
"Yeah," I said while walking back into my room to get changed "I had some free time on my hands while you were with Christian." she blushed.
I changed into my skinny jeans and a red top with buttons down the front. We were running late so I quickly shoved my feet into my red converses, slipped on the charm bracelet Adrian had got me while we were in L.A. (it had charms to do with the four different suits in a deck of cards) and grabbed my denim jacket from my closet. (pic. on profile)
Lissa picked up my bag and was already waiting for me to lock my door before heading down to meet everyone.
"Are you ready?" I asked her as we power-walked to the front gate. I suppose we could have run but we didn't want to risk waking anyone up and getting caught.
"As ready as I can be, considering what we are about to do?" I could tell she was scared and worried about our adventure and I tried to comfort her.
"It's going to be fine. We are going to find your half-brother or sister and then we are going to come back and you are going to be the best Queen in the history of the Moroi world!" I said the last part with a smile, trying to cheer her up but instead it did the opposite.
"Let's hope…" she replied with a sigh.
By now we had reached the front gate and found the guys hiding in the bushes, waiting for us. I couldn't help but laugh at how funny they looked in the bushes. Now to put our mastermind plan into action, for this part we were counting on Lissa.
"Okay Liss, it's up to you now." I said with a smile, giving her hand a slight squeeze.
She walked straight up to the Guardian on watch and gave him her royal smile. "Good morning Princess, Guardian Hathaway, may I ask why you are doing here so early in the morning?"
She looked at him and I felt the magic begin to flow through her.
"You are going to let me and my friends out of the gate." she said clearly.
"Why would I-" he began before the compulsion set in "Certainly Princess"
I let out a relieved sigh as the Guardian walked over to unlock the gate. I motioned to everyone to come out of the bushes and to the already waiting car outside the gate. "Anything else Princess?" he asked, still being compelled.
"You are to forget that you saw us tonight and only remember me coming to give you this letter to give to the Royal Council." she handed him the letter she had written and told him to lock the gate after we had left. What? She couldn't just leave without notifying the Council. She is supposed to be the heir to the throne and running off with an ex-Strigoi, a recently freed prisoner and a Royal alcoholic is not going to help her image.
We got into the car with me riding shotgun, Dimitri driving and the others in the backseat. Adrian got a seven seat 4-Wheel Drive so we wouldn't have to squish and we would all have our own seat. I couldn't keep the smile off of my face, we were out.
"Phase one complete"
We reached the airport and boarded the private jet that Adrian had booked for us. How the hell is he paying for all this? I sat next to Dimitri while Lissa and Christian sat behind us. Eddie sat on the other side of Lissa because technically he is her Guardian. This of course meant that I was stuck between my old ex-boyfriend, who is now my current boyfriend and my ex who has only just forgiven me for breaking his heart.
Surprisingly, the flight wasn't that bad. Adrian had indulged in every alcoholic beverage that the flight attendant offered him so he wasn't much of a hassle. Dimitri and I just talked, and eventually I found myself drifting off to sleep.
I felt a pair of arms holding me as I slept and my head on someone's shoulder. I looked up to see Dimitri's beautiful dark brown eyes staring at me with fascination. it took me a while to realize that we were no longer on the plane, but in a car. As I looked out the window I could see bright, colorful lights flashing by.
"We're here. We're in L.A!"
Yeah, I know this wasn't my best chapter but I just wanted them to get to L.A already! Don't forget, to give me some ideas on what to rename my story! R&R! :) 3
