Rose POV

As I near court, I take deep breaths. I don't want them to do this to me. Making me forget my memories, is like taking away my life.

What will my life be like after this?

I don't want to forget Sasha.

"I'm sorry that Lissa is doing this to you, Rose." Dimitri interrupts my thinking.

"Why don't you talk to her about it? You could probably talk her out of it."

"I don't think I could. I have this feeling, that I can t even talk to her. I don't remember anything after I talk to her."

"Seriously?" He doesn't remember anything! I watched the whole thing.

"I don't know what's going on with her, but she needs to get her problems fixed."

I stop dead in my tracks.

"Dimitri, Lissa is using you. I got into her head one day and she told you to come and find me. She used compulsion on you. Who would make her do such a thing?"

"I have no idea."

Me and Dimitri take a long way back to court. As we reach the main entrance, I see a big black SUV.

Are people going to watch me tonight?

When we open the door, people surround us immediately.

"Move out of the way!"

I recognize that voice immediately.

Dad.

He runs up to me and gives me a big hug.

"Follow me." He takes me into a dark room. Once he turns on the lights he turns around and looks at me.

"Dad, I've missed you." I start to cry.

"I'm so sorry Rose. These shitheads told me what their going to do to you."

"Did you bring my notebook?"

"Yes. Why do you need it?"

"I write what I do every day in here and who I meet. It'll help me remember everything."

"Rose, I can't let you have that. It would ruin the purpose of your memories being erased."

I forgot Dimitri was even here.

"You don't have a say in this dick. Get out!" He looks surprised. My dad starts laughing.

Dimitri get out. I look over at my dad.

"What am I going to do?"

"They surrounded the entire area. There's no way out. I'm so sorry sweety."

"I don't want to do it."

"I'll give you the notebook right away. I won't let them get a hold of it. I promise."

"Thanks, dad. I love you."

"I love you to."

I look at my phone and see that it's getting late. I only have a half hour until they do it to me. I wish I could run away with Sasha. Then the door slams open.

"Rose Hathaway come with us now!" I don't recognize these guardians. They must be new.

"Goodbye, dad."

They put handcuffs on me and pull me out of the room. My feet dragging along the floor. People are all around me. Why are so many people wanting to see me?

They open door in front of me to reveal all of the royal moroi. Wow, it's a family gathering. They put me on a seat and handcuff my hands and feet to the chair. They don't trust me at all. I see Lissa in the middle of them.

"I hope your ready. This shouldn't be long and should be painless."

I smile evily.

"I know that you wouldn't want to cause me pain."

Then everything goes silent. I turn my head and see a doctor walking towards me, with a huge needle. Oh bloody hell. I hate shots. I try to calm down but nothing works. The doctor walks slowly towards me. He wipes some alcohol shit on me and gets ready to out the big ass needle in my neck.

"Let's get this over with. Shall we?"

Just as he begins to put the needle in my neck, I hear a crash. What the hell!

All of a sudden, all of the windows shatter around me. People start screaming and try running out of the room. But the doors don't open. I start feeling nausea and dizzy.

Strigoi

I start struggling in my chair.

"Get me out of here!" Nobody bothers to listen to me.

I look at all of the broken windows and see strigoi start to jump in them. At least a hundred strigoi are running around the room, but none of them are going to me. I look and see that most of the moroi are dead. The strigoi came here to kill everyone. I start to loose vision and feel blood running down my forehead.  A piece of glass must've gotten in my head.

"Somebody help me!"

Then I see lady walk up to me.

"Hello dear. I'm Galina. Don't worry, everything is going to plan. Except your annoying queen got away from us."

Lissa escaped the strigoi?

Galina tears away the handcuffs and pulls me up. I start to fall over, but she pulls me up.

"Let's go get that cut cleaned up. Everybody move out!"

I look around and see dead bodies around me. Lifeless. I get pulled up out of the building and realize that I'm in a helicopter.

Where am I going?

Just as I begin to fall to darkness, I hear a heavenly sound.

"Stay with me Rose."

He came for me.
