By the time Lissa arrived at the place Adrian had explained everything. He was basically screaming at her the whole way there. "I went into my aunt's room, there was a spirit user! I could see the aura. No one was there but I seen the gold all over the room, you need to see it! Tell them I'm not crazy!" I internally chuckled at that, Adrian was not the first to come to mind when I think of sanity. Lissa was all riled up but she felt unsure of herself.
"You know I can't see auras very well. And there's no one even their." Adrian was going nuts
"TRY!" I wanted to see what what the room looked like but I was sucked out of my own head.
"Roza?" The voice was quiet and pained but I knew who it was before I could see him. I ran, well waddled, to my cell bars as quickly as I could. It made me feel wobbly and little light headed for a moment but I didn't care. I grabbed both of his hands, and nearly started crying again. I noticed the guardian behind him. I looked back at Dimitri and looked in his eyes. He lifted his hand and wiped the lone tear that escaped. "Don't cry Roza. It will all be okay, soon." His voice was so soft and reassuring, I almost believed him.
"It's not" I choked. "I'm only getting out of here if we tell the truth, and then there gonna find out about you, and Victor wasn't lying, and then..." I completely lost it I was sobbing again. The full realization that even if I was let go, Dimitri would most definitely be charged with
Rape.
Dimitri cupped my face in his hands. "Look at me Roza, your getting out of here. I promise." I couldn't help but believe him. I cried silently while we just looked at each other. It was as safe as I had felt since this all started. I got pulled into Lissa's head again!
"I see it! Adrian, I see it!" She was so excited. "She didn't do! It, I knew she didn't but I see it, it's proof!" In the dry pool of blood that hadn't yet been cleaned I seen the faint golden glow surrounding it. Once again I was pulled out of her head.
Dimitri was holding my hands, not in a romantic way. He probably knew I wasn't in my own mind and wanted me to know he was there. I smiled at him, and he wiped my cheeks. God I have to stop doing this crying thing it's so not good for my image.
"Lissa and Adrian found evidence to prove my innocence, but it's nothing anyone else can see. I don't know how they'll use it but it's a start." Dimitri looked at me quizzically. "They know a spirit user was at the scene of the crime. The gold trademark was all over the blood stains. How they got access to the queens room is beyond me but it's a start." Dimitri smiled, genuinely.
"See, already getting better, your father is going to come see you soon and I have to report to make a witness statement in a minute." My smile vanished.
"Don't tell them anything you don't have to." I grabbed is face to make sure he was looking at me. "Promise me you won't give them any information they can turn on you, I don't want to be out if you have to just serve a life in prison." I couldn't believe I actually admitted that to him but I didn't care.
He looked at me for a while clearly unwilling to tell me he wouldn't put himself before me. "Promise?" I whispered it so desperately, I didn't think it actually came out of my mouth. After a while he nodded his head.
"I promise." Just then my father walked in.
"Guardian Belikov, step aside I need to talk to my delinquent of a daughter, not that I think your guilty or anything." He looked over to me. "Just a tip for next time, rule number one in our line of business, don't get caught." I rolled my eyes very aware of how much he truly lived by that.
"What do you want old man?" He shook his head as if to say he was disappointed in me,
"I want you out of here." He smiled. "But that might take a little to long." He pointed to my stomach and wondered if I would be in here for 4 months. "Or you might get out to soon." It took me a moment to realize he was implying my head was going to be on the chopping block soon. "So I'm thinking, I came down here for... Inspiration." I didn't like his tone but decided to go with it. With people like him, always be on their good side.
"Well great. Um hope you..."
"I'm also going to be your lawyer." That wasn't what I expected to hear from him at all. "No one in the Moroi world who wants to be taken seriously is actually going to let you hire them. So you get me, for free too." He paced for a while, I honestly didn't know what to say to him. "Well I'll be back soon, sleep, that's not a suggestion that's and order. Sleep."
I wasn't at all tired, but I decided to lie down for a while anyway. After a while I dozed off.
PLEASE REVIEW XOXO
