I picked up my cell phone at the first ring, my heart pounding against my ribs. Finally, Adrian was calling back to tell me where Rose was!
"Hello?"
"Yo, Dimitri. Rose and I had a little chat last night, and your chances don't look too good." My heart skipped a beat, hearing her name.
"Is she alright? Where is she?" I asked, hoping that he actually knew some things.
"Well... she's kind of locked up at Court right now, in the same cell she was in when they thought she killed Tatiana." I sighed. Well, at least she was alive.
"Why would they lock her up?" I wondered aloud.
"Wow, and I thought you were smart." Came the voice from the other end. I ignored it. "Just because I know you are highly capable of killing me in my sleep, I'll answer your stupid question." He took a deep breath. "They think that she purposely abandoned Lissa, and left her alone to become Strigoi. They're putting on trial, and will, eventually, kill her." He said, his voice catching. Poor Adrian. He cared for Rose so much, even though there wasn't the slightest chance that they would ever be together.
"Thanks, Adrian. You don't know how much I appreciate this." I replied, hanging up. Now, my wait was over. I would go to Court, rescue Rose, and find out what really happened with Lissa, because honestly, I didn't even know how she became Strigoi, only that it was too late to save her and my top priority was Rose. I started to pack my bags right away, heading out the door of the motel, almost forgetting to check out. By the time I was in my car, it was pretty late in the Vampire night, leaving my some time to travel before I would reach Court.
My plan was I would find Eddie, Mia, Christian, and Janine (Rose's mother). Then, I'd act like I wanted to visit her, because I was angry with her. The plan then, was to get her out of Court and into a country other than Russia, with the help of Janine, Mia, Christian, and Eddie. I wasn't sure how this would work, but it was definitely better than going in with no plan at all.
