Jealousy

Tasha's point of view

It hadn't taken long for the court guardians to catch up with me. I didn't think that little man stealing bitch was smart enough to figure out I had killed the Queen and framed her for it. But she had and she outed me in front of all of court.

I just lost it she was making me look bad in front of my Dimka. Why was she trying to make him hate me? We were meant to be together. He wanted a family, lots of children we had talked about it once. I was the only one who could do that for him. Rose fucking Hathaway sure as hell couldn't.

I didn't think before I grabbed the gun, I just needed to get away. I knocked one of the guardians over and just grabbed it off of his belt. I grabbed the first person in my path not really seeing who it was. Lissa stepped forward, I knew she would she always had to try and fix every bad situation.

It all happened so fast, my hostage broke free, I saw someone move towards me and I shot before thinking. The next thing anyone knew Rose was on the ground where she landed after taking the bullets that would have hit the princess. And I tried to get away in the mayhem.

Now oddly enough I'm sitting in the same damn cell she had been thrown in for my crime. No one would say anything to me. I was going insane. I had to find a way out of this mess. I was Royal no way they would hurt me. Right?

I sat down on the tiny cot they supplied as a bed. There was no way I was sleeping on this revolting thing, I would just complain until I received a new bed. I fucking deserved it. Hopefully Dimka would come and keep me company soon, now that he wasn't off babysitting.

I had been sitting in this cell for a while when I heard a door close, the guardians at my cell looked up all color draining from there faces. That must be my Dimka, they'd all treated him like he was poison since he'd returned from being strigoi. Didn't they understand none of that was his fault? He was protecting that school.

I ran my fingers through my hair so it would look nice, but as soon as I turned around the color drained from my own face. Because there stood Abe Mazur.

" Open this cell!"

He growled out at the two guardians standing there. This whole time I'd forgotten that Rose was his daughter, and only child. Shit this man was terrifying on a good day. They wouldn't let him in here would they? I got my answer when the guardian to the left of my cell pulled the key out, unlocked the door, and swung it open. Fuck!

" Stand up Natasha. Now!"

I did as I was told. I was seriously regretting my decisions right now. But then I remembered he couldn't really do anything to me, certainly not with his element the cells were charmed so you couldn't use any of them. And with that thought I stood up as tall as I could. But than he smirked, and just stood there completely silent. What was he waiting for? Then I heard the door click shut again, maybe this was my Dimka coming for me.

Wrong! It was Guardian Hathaway Sr.

" Ibraham I'm glad to see you waited for me!"

He nodded once not taking his eyes off of me. The guardians outside my cell weren't even looking our way, weren't they sworn to protect Royals like me?

" I'm going to tell you this once, and only once. If my daughter dies I will come down here and kill you. Janine here will help me. You better spend your time hoping she lives. I already have a few plans for you over framing her to take the fall for what you did."

I let his words sink in and I knew I should be scared right now, but I just knew Dimitri and Christian would come to my rescue. Which is exactly what I told him.
