What do you wish for? (complete)

Chapter 37

"And we will go with you. Well except for the children. Hopefully your grandmother will watch the children long enough for us to get that done."

"Yes, let's hope. So, I guess that we need to call Alberta now."

"Yes, we definitely need to do that. But put your phone on speaker so that I can hear too please."

"I'm sooo sorry, I didn't even think of that when I called baba."

"It's alright my love, I understand. I just want to know what Alberta thinks about all of this."

I nodded and dialed Alberta's number, and as soon as it started to ring I put it on speaker.

Ring... Ring... Ring.

"Guardian Alberta Petrova speaking."

"Alberta, it's Rose."

"Ahh Rose, how are you? How are you enjoying traveling around?"

"I'm fine, and I love traveling for fun. Going where I want to go, doing what I want to do. Instead of having to wait on some spoiled royal hand and foot. But the reason that I am calling you is to tell you that a strigoi is threatening one of your guardian's family. In order to get this particular guardian to transfer to court and spy on our world for him."

"Really?! Who?!"

"Alto. We came across a former dhampir turned strigoi named Michael O'Hara's group of strigoi. He has sent people to kidnap Alto's mother and four sisters and hold them hostage so that he can get Alto to agree to spy for him."

"My God."

"Yea, that's pretty much what we thought too. And as much as Alto and I argue, I refuse to let this happen to him and his family."

"That is very kind of you Rose."

"No, not really, I just don't like this. I have a family of my own now and I can't just stand by and let something like this happen to someone else's family. Not if I can do anything to prevent it, it's just not right."

"What do you need me to do?"

"I want you to notify Stan. And let him know that I have sent people to not only rescue his family. But that we have also arranged for some other guardians to put an end to Michael O'Hara and his entire crew, for good."

"Thank you, Rose. Even if you never hear it from Stan, I personally really appreciate all that you are doing for him and his family. Do you or do you not want him to know that it was you that did this?"

"There is nothing to thank me for. Stan and I may not have gotten along almost ever. But as I told Mitya and baba, I do respect Stanny boy as a guardian. And our not getting along is no excuse for letting him and his family to suffer and be used this way. Also, I don't care if he knows or not that is entirely within your discretion."

"You have grown up and matured so much this past year Rose, I am sooo very proud of you."

"Thank you, Alberta."

"I should probably tell you, that I have Tasha Ozera downstairs in a cell."

"What? Why?"

"Well, apparently she gave Lissa and necklace for CHRISTmas and it was charmed."

"What happened, is anyone hurt?"

"Well, Lissa ended up in the infirmary, but other than that everyone is fine."

"Why was Lissa in the infirmary?"

"When she took the necklace off and threw it back at Tasha, right after your plane took off, actually. She instantly started feeling sick. She was having memory flashes of how she acted since CHRISTmas, which were giving her terrible head pain. She was nauseous, dizzy, light headed etcetera. We sent the necklace to court to have tests run on it to see if we can find out exactly what the necklace was charmed to do. And we are still waiting on the results. But Lissa is back to her normal self, except for the fact that she feels extremely bad for the way she acted."
