I woke up trapped in Adrian's arms. I smiled to myself but wiggled out of his embrace so i could brush my teeth and hair to get ready for the day ahead of us. No doubt there were to be an investigation on the explosion. But who would lead it? Who was in charge? I brushed the questions away and got dressed "Where you going?" Adrian asked groggily. His messy hair and shirtless body made another smile spread onto my face. "To see Lissa." I said. Adrian sat up a little, leaning on his elbows "You want me to come?" He asked. I wanted to say yes but i knew i needed to tell Lissa the truth. The lies were eating me up. "No, Im okay. I want to talk to her. Um, girl talk thats all." I sputtered. He raised an eyebrow and then flopped back into a laying position so he could go back to sleep. 

Walking through the halls of the Moroi area of court felt a little werid, even though ive been here many times. Lissa's room wasnt to far from adrian so it didnt take long to get there. After one knock on the door it swung open. Lissa was in a forest green knee length dress, black tights and black boots. Here blonde hair was in perfect curls , as usual. "Rose?" she asked while trying to put in an earring "Whats going on?" I asked , my dhampir sense on high alert. I could feel the waves of nervous feelings ooze out of Lissa. She gave me a forced smile , her fangs peaking through a bit, and said "Theres a meeting and as a Princess i must attend." Suddenly here green eyes light up "Oh Rose! you can come too, your my guardian and all so should be there!" This time a real smile appeared and i had almost forgotten why  i was here, to end the lies but instead and said "Okay, then hurry up weve got to leave soon." The nervous tension slipped away at the thoughts Lissa had of not being alone, excited that her shadow kissed , lying best friend would be by her side. 

I took my place next to the other guardians against the wall, seeing but not staring, Hearing but not ease dropping. Lissa sat down at the table filled with other Royal and important Moroi. Each were trying to hide the angry , demonic looks they were giving the others. The running for King or Queen was still going on. When some woman with bleach blonde hair narrowed her cat like eyes at Lissa i had to hold back for punching her in the face. I reminded my self again. seeing but not staring , hearing but not ease dropping. I can do this, I can be stone. Once all the seats were filled the meeting began with a pudgy man saying "What happened last night was a catistropich event but we should put it aside for now." The others murmered, then a red headed Moroi chimed in "What do you mean? We need our people to be safe , especially since Belikov has escaped. We should focus on attack not on anything else!" The room was booming with angry , scared debating. One talking over the other. but suddenly they all quited down and Lissa, my Lissa began to speak "What we need to do is esablish a new Queen or King to take over the role and make these hard decisions. Its clear we are getting no where at this moment." People murmured quietly as Lissa crossed her hands on the table , trying to look strong and professional but on the inside she was screaming, i could feel it. One man cleared his throut and said "Vasilisa Dragomir has a valid point. An election must take place as soon as possible." Lissa looked stunned because one of these selfish peolpe were actrully Listening to her. "The elegible families need to decide who will be running for King or Queen." The man went on. Everyone sat in silence, no one daring to disagree for there faces shown it all, competion flikered in there eyes , determination crept into there sinsister smiles. "Meeting ajounred. I as of having no eligiable heir will be in charge of the voting. Any objections?" again no one answered and the man smiled, his mustache twitching at the corners and sat down. Everyone left the meeting room, there Dhampirs behind them until it was onyl Lissa and I left. I walked over to the table , mahogany with expensive gold legs. I placed my hand over hers and said "You could be Queen Liss." Her blank expression was a bit frightening as she said "Since Jill existing i guess i could." She looked as if she was made of glass, beautiful glass. The words bubbled out of my mouth before i could shove them back down "Liss I- Ive know about Jill for a while now, longer than you. I wanted to tell you but I-I couldn't Liss. Im sorry Lissa." I sputtered. We sat in silence, an agonizing silence that made my bones ache and my heart beat quicken. She turned to me in a robotic fashion and held my hands in hers. I gave her a confused look, why wasnt she screaming at me? why wasnt she angry? no angry emotions leaked out of her, actually i could not touch her emotions right now, somehow she cut me out. She cleared her throat and said "I know Rose. Jill told me, it took you a while to tell me your self but quicker than i thought it would take you." A small smile tugged at the ends of her lips. "Am i really getting that predictable!" i exclaimed. "What?" Lissa asked. I brushed it off and told her not to push it any farther. Adrian and Lissa both. Knowing what i would do before i do it, ive lost my element of surprise which made me quite grumpy.  Randomly Lissa asked "Hows You and Adrian?" i felt myself blush a bit and said "Good , great actually. Im scared its to good to be true that- that it could come crashing down at any moment." I began to chew the inside of my cheek as Lissa placed her hand on my shoulder "He wont leave you Rose. He isnt your mother or - or any of your ex's" i knew Lissa meant Dmitri. She knew not to go any farther into that topic but said instead "And if he does as Queen i will lock him in Jail and torture him till he cant see any more auras" I let out a laugh and smiled at her "Your going to be Queen Liss." "I could be Queen" Lissa corrected. "No Liss you will  be Queen , Everyone knows it. Did you see how you took control earlier, they all looked at you like a queen weather they will admit to it or not." She smiled back at me , a blush spreading over her pale skin. "Queen , im going to be Queen." She squeezed my hand and repeated herself a few times over and over. 

After that i hugged Lissa for a long time. She pulled back and said to me "Your my best friend Rose, dont ever forget that, you will always be the first person i go to , the first person on the list of people i love." i let out a short laugh "Dont tell Christian that." she smiled "I think he already knows that." "Liss dido." she smiled and laughed with me , "Really thats all you have to say , should have known you've gotten quite predictable." I nudged her as we walked and mumbled "I am not." under my breath. but out of the corner of my eye i could see her smirk. Vasilisa Dragomir and Rose Marie Hathaway. Moroi and Dhampir. Spirit magic and shadow kissed. Best friends. an unlikely combo but an unbreakable one at that.
