Hi everyone I have been reading all the stories and have to admit i love them all even if they are not heading in the direction i want them to go I am still excited to read them! I just love seeing people s different ideas of the characters. I have been inspired to give it a try so hear it is! I don't expect anyone to like it just writing the story as it plays out in my head, I would also like to stress that i own none of these characters and that they belong to the incredibly talented Richelle MeadHope you enjoy!

Chaper one- Defeated

The words replayed over and over in my head "Love Fades, Mine Has", " They execute traitors". Gosh when did my life get so screwed up? Wait come to think of it when hasn't my life been screwed up? Abandoned by my mother to the academy at a young age, kissed by death after the accident in which Lissa brought me back from, madly in love with my mentor Dimitri who was turned stringoi and then saved again by my all powerful spirit using best friend Lissa, and dating Adrian a very charasmatic spirit using character whom I loved but couldn't say for sure I was in love with! Oh yeah did I mention that I'm accused of killing his aunt queen Tatianna.

For the first time in my entire life I was begining to actually feel defeated. Rose Hathaway never gets defeated, she always rises to the challenge, tackles problems head on. This problem though, this maybe be more than even I can handle " They execute traitors" gosh why did that actually sound appealling? Why was I so ready to just accept a punishment for a crime I didn't commit? Hmm then those familiar words rang through my head " Love Fades, Mine Has".The day Dimitri said those words to me in the church I litterally felt the last piece of my heart break away. I spent the last year of my life loving him, fighting for him, wanting him only to realise he didn't want me back. Yes he loved me once and yes he fought for me too when he was a stringoi, he fought to make me join him in eternal life. But now he was back and willing to forget everything we shared, everything we meant to one another all for what to ease his own guilt, guilt he didn't need to feel.

My musings of how pitiful my life had become were interupted by the sound of a familiar voice.

"Rose... Rose are you okay?"

" Adrian" I felt my heart flutter and sink all at once. The last time i was with Adrian I let him drink my blood. I'm not sure what drove me to do it. I think it was a mixture of needing to numb the pain of Dimitri's words in the church and wanting to give myself to Adrian the way he needed me to the way he gave himself to me everyday.

Without thinking my hand subconciosly went to the two puncture wounds that were still on my neck.

" Reminissing Little Dhampier" Adrien said with a small but sad smile on his face.

" I'm so sorry about your Aunt Adrian, I swear though I didn't do it, I would never have hurt her Adrian!"

" Rose please I know you didn't do it. I know you better than you give me credit for. You also forget rose, I spent the night with you that night, I was looking right into you Aura the entire night and murder certainly wasn't apart of it. I was though Rose your Aura lit up for me, it lit up in a way it has never lit up before."

" Adrien... about that night, don't get me wrong I don't regret it, there is something about you Adrien that I need i my life. But If I am to be completely honest with you, that night before you came to my room Dimitri had just broke the last piece of what was left of my heart and I was needing to feel something anything. I know that's wrong but I ..."

Adrien cut me off " I told you before Rose you don't give me enough credit, your so sure Dimitri could see into your soul that he was your other half but I can see into it to Rose and I know when I walked into that room that you were mearly a shell of yourself that something had broken you perhaps beyond repair. But I love you Rose and I will never give up trying to repair you!"

"Sometimes I don't think I deserve you Adrien, I will never understand why you stay and put up with me."

" That's cause your the hottest thing on legs little Dhampier, I told you I'm addicted to your good looks." We both laughed it was a small laugh but it was just enough.

"How did you get down here anyway I was told to start counting bricks on the wall cause they were about to be my new best friends, I was told no visitors."

" Well I was the former Queens nephew after all and I don't think they felt like they could refuse me add in a little compulsion I supose and whola here I stand." Adrien had that proud smirk he always wore when he was being a smart alic.

" speeking of being the queens nephew Adrian you must be struggling to cope with this, I'm sorry I'm not out there helping you through this"

" I'm doing okay, ... What I'm struggling with Rose is seeing you down here like this accused of something like this. The evidence isn't looking good Rose... Theres a lot of talk they feel they have enough to convict you of this Rose. Lissa is an absolute mess about this she is trying to think of a million and one ways to fix it. I'm a little worried of how much spirit she is using."

Omg Lissa in all my self pity I had forgot to even check in on her and see how she was coping, of coarse she wouldn't be taking it well. "She shouldn't be doing that, she knows what using the spirit in such large doses does to her" and to me I silently added in my head.

" She won't rest until she fixes this Rose and neither will I we are going to find you a way out of this Rose, Trust us anything it takes we are going to fix it."

I gave Him a small smile I knew they would be doing everthing to get me out of this predicament but that was the problem at what cost... their own Sanity. I always swore to protect Lissa to act as her guardian what if the only way to trully protect her was to not be in her life, what if me being around and always in trouble was the reason she uses so much spirit and is eventually overcome with spirits madness. Maybe this trial couldn't come soon enough maybe this verdict was my one last chance to protect Lissa.

" Rose... Rose...Ro"

"sorry I was just thinking about something didn't mean to space out on ya"

" Rose there is something wrong your eyes, your Aura they seem to be fading or flickering I'm not sure... you would never give up would you Rose?, I mean the Rose Hathaway I know will fight this!... you are gonna fight this aren't you"

Omg maybe Adrian did know me better than I gave him credit for it's like he was reading my mind, I couldn't let on, I couldn't tell him I have pretty much sucumb to my fate." Of coarse not " I said with a small smile.

Adrien just stared at me for a while before sighing " I really better be going little Dhampier before the guards come crashing down here and drag me off... I will visit you again though mabe not here but perhaps when your sleeping" He winked at me and of coarse i knew what he had meant.

" See you in your dreams Little Dhampier it may actually be the most private place to chat" Adrien leaned forward and placed his hand on my cheek and stroked his finger along my jaw a couple of times.

" see you when i'm sleeping"

As I watched Adrien disapear It dawned on me that I hadn't mentioned the letter, actually up until now I had been so busy thinking of myself I had forgotten about the letter. This letter held the key to helping lissa get on the council, it was the the key to helping the entire dhampier race from being enslaved. But what could I do with it from behind bars. Perhaps I needed to fight this just a little bit longer at least until i ensured that Lissa sat in her rightful place on the council and with her rightful brother or sister by her side not some shadow kissed immitation of family. Of coarse there would be one other person by her side potecting her, watching over her, worshipping her, Dimitri. God just the mention of his name in my own head and i felt like Ihad been stabbed in the stomache.

It was then that I was dragged into Lissa's head. Lissa was cuddled up against Christian on the couch, she looked tired and her eyes were red no doubt from all the crying she had been doing.

" I just don't understand why someone would pin this on Rose... Why her of all people"

Fireboy had a brilliant yet obvious answer " She was eay to pin it on Liss she called the queen a sactamonious bitch in front of the entire court... she made her opinions about the queens rulling pretty obvious"

" That was typical Rose shooting her mouth of nothing more she is always like that it doesn't make her a murderer."

That's when I heard the voice i was dreading the most to here... Dimitri spoke and Lissa looked over into those endless chocolate brown eyes of his.

" Christian wasn't suggesting it does make her a murderer Vasiilisa just an easy target, Roses lack of control always did get her into trouble"

With that kick in the gut i flew back into my own head, I didn't need to sit around listening to Dimitri talk about me as if i was just some hot headed student he once taught. I walked over to sit on my bed in my dingy little cell and felt mysef actually slip into an exhausted state. I curled up onto the bed and felt tears slowly run down my cheeks, I'm not sure how long I cried for but I eventually lost myself to sleep. It was then that I felt a familiar setting and Adrien dream. Adrien was leaning against a tree in a pretty sunfilled garden a smoke in his mouth and a lighter in his hand. He lit it up and looked up at me " Hey Little dhampier finally decided to sleep did we"

I looked at him and the smoke in his mouth " Smoking I see thought you were giving them up"

" I am little dhampier I am don't worry this is just a dream remember got to get my fix some how... this seems like the best way to do it" he wore that sarcastic grin of his that he knew irritated me so much yet some how I had grown to love.

" Adrien when you were here earlier there was something I had wanted to show you but had forgotten about it at the time" I went to reach into my pocket only to realise I was in a little white see through looking dress. I looked up at Adrien with a scowl. " Do you think you can put me back into my own clothes please"

" But white suits you so much" he smilled

I was still wearing my scowl on my face to show my displeasure."Adrien"

" oh very well little Dhampier have your drab old clothes back" and with that I was dressed like myself again.

" Thankyou" I reached into my pocket and pulled out the note. " Adrian I am trusting you with this no one else can know about it not even Lissa you promise"

" Anything for you little dhampier" He smiled.

I handed him the note and waited quietly for him to read it.

"Where did you get this Rose"Adrien looked at me all smirks and smiles gone.

"from someone who's name is erelevant" I replied

"the hell it's erelevent Rose this person may know something this person."

"I don't think so Adrien it's not important what is important is finding out whether anthing in that letter is true"

" Why do you not want Lissa to know about this, it does concern her you know?"

" I know but I would rather be sure there is truth to it first than upset Lissa by shattering her memories of what sort of person her father was or what he was doing in his spare time"

Adrien was looking down at the letter when I seen his eyebrow move up like something had just dawned on him." You know where we start looking don't you... remeber the moroi club in Las Vegas"

Of coarse how could have I forgotten that tid bit of information." Now the only thing is how do we go to las vegas with me locked up in here"

Adrien smiled and through his smoke to the ground extinquishing it with his foot "We bust you out Little Dhampier thats what we do" with that adrien disapeared and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
