Hey guys, so, this is the first story I've ever wrote, so please tell me if you like it or hate it. I'm sorry for mistakes I make and words I use wrong, but English is not my native language. So don't hate me. :) Few things you should know are, Dimitri is not Strigoi anymore, and he and Rose are together, Lissa and Christian are also together. Lissa and Rose are still bound by the spirit bound, so that didn't go away.
Enjoy! xx
Nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
~ Torn ~ Natalie Imbruglia ~
I wake up from someone trying to beat down my door. God, I'm sleeping. I imediately check on Lissa, I don't feel anything, and that only happens when she's asleep, or she doesn't want me to feel, but since it's middle of the night, I assume she's just sleeping, like every sane person here at school. So, nothing to worry about.
"What the hell, let me sleep." I yell at my door, turning on my other side, pulling the blankets up over my ears. The thing trying to knock my door down doesn't stop, but only knocks harder. For a second I think it might be Dimitri. But than in two seconds I remember he is somwere far away with Christian, who had to go away and take Dimitri with him. Damn him. So it's not Dimitri, who would it be. I get up, pull my hand through my hair, and slam my door open. As a result I'm almost knocked in my face by a hand comming out of the darkness.
"Woah, easy, what did this door ever do to you?"
"Nothing, but you did." Eddie sais, giving me a half smile. He's my friend, and the guardian whom I know has always got my back, in fights, and in everything.
"Ah, so explain, why, exactly, do you come beating down my door. In the middle of the night?"
"It's not middle of the night, it's actually 8 in the morning, Rose."
"Whatever, explain?" I give him a sweet smile, but he seems to be the only person to be immune for that.
"You'd better get dressed, and I'll tell you when I take you to - " he stops midd sentence, and I see in his face he's not gonna finish it. Ugh, okay than.
"Give me 30 seconds to get dressed." I turn around, leaving the door open, knowing Eddie will walk in after me and close it. He's woken me up in the middle of the night, so many times before. I gather my clothes, walk into the bathroom and put my clothes on as quick as possible. Black tight jeans, black tanktop, and a belt with some weapons. I pull my hair up in a messy bun, no time for that now. While I do that, my eyes flash over my neck, it's covered in tiny black crosses. 39, 39 molnia's, 39 kills, 39 times I protected Lissa.
"Those were 32 seconds, Hathaway."
"You've actually counted?" I turn around, locking my door behind me.
"No" He starts walking ahead of me, so I just follow him. When we're in a small hallway, he turns around.
"So tell me, who died?" I know Eddie so well, and his face right now, is not one I like very much.
"The queen was murdered" I start laughing, expecting him to join me and tell me it's all a joke, and no one died. Only, he doesn't. He just looks at me, raising one eyebrow, so I stop laughing.
"C'mon Eddie, that's ridiculous. She's protected 24/7 by at least 10 guardians. No one get's in her chambers."
"Except for you."
"That doesn't count." I broke into her chambers once, but that was not to kill her, and I only succeeded because of my awesome ninja skills and Eddie's wonderfull distraction.
"Where's Lissa?"
"Aren't you the one supposed to know?" Yeah, good point. I concentrate and close my eyes and suddenly I'm standing in the queens chambers. Lissa's upset, as is every single person in the room. Lissa? You okay? I ask her gently. Yeah, but could you come here? Just tell the guardians I asked for you. I don't need to answer her, we both know that when she asks me to do something, I do it, no doubt, in a heartbeat, without a single question.
