I woke up with an unbearable headache. Remembering what had happened and where I was, I sat up quickly, taking in my surroundings. I was in a cold, white room, just like the one I was in for being tried for killing Queen Tatiana. A sudden thought registered in my mind. They think I purposely allowed Lissa to become a Strigoi! That is soooo not what happened! Or is it? I was getting too confused and my brain was fuzzy. My headache did not make things better. To escape the confusion, I tried to sleep, and found myself being pulled into a spirit dream.
I was in the backyard of my new house, wearing my wedding dress that I loved so much.
"Ahem.." Someone cleared their throat behind me. Startled I spun around, coming face to face with none other than...
"Adrian?" Why was he here?
"Long time no see, Little Dhampir."
"Why are you here?" I asked, more curious than angry.
"I thought you'd be glad to see me." He replied, trying to look hurt. I sighed heavily.
"I'm not in the mood, Adrian."
"Too bad, cuz I'm on a mission for Little Lover Boy back in Russia." That caught my attention.
"Dimitri?" Adrian nodded, smoothing back his hair with his right hand. "Oh, Adrian! Court thinks I abandoned Lissa to the Strigoi! They're going to put me on trial and most definitely kill me! You've got to help me! I'm in the same room as I was when they thought I killed Tatiana!"
"Whoa, calm down Little Dhampir." I glared at him. "Rose." He corrected himself, then continued. "Dimitri will be there as soon as possible, I'll make sure of it." I smiled.
"Thanks a million, Adrian." I said, hugging him. I saw his eyes widen in shock. I giggled. "Just because I'm married, doesn't mean I can't hug another guy." He shrugged.
"See you soon, Little Dhampir." He whispered into my ear, and the scene faded, leaving me in the dark room at Court, alone and worried. Would Dimitri ever find me? Would I die here, alone and afraid, with no one to hold me? I guess I just had to wait and see.
