Last Sacrifice, where it left off from Spirit Bound, when Abe said execution, I have continued the story from there lol

Chapter One

"Well isn't that just great, not only have I lost the man I love but now I'm on the verge of death, and on top of that!" I paused and stopped myself from telling Abe what the letter was all about, I need time to think about that before informing anyone, as the queen said, try to keep the number of people knowing down. "And on top of that?" Abe gave me a look of concern and curiosity. "And nothing, I was just thinking how this is hurting the people I love", I thought nice going stupid; you nearly gave it all away. Abe looked still curious but let it go. "Rose you know I won't let anything happen to you, one way or another I will solve this, besides I can't let my genes go to waste, I need you to carry on my generation", he laughed. "Oh that's a nice way to think about your daughter", I gave him a smile, and it's the first time in a while I felt myself around someone. Abe then looked very frustrated, "Rose don't let yourself give up while you are in there, believe me when I say you will be free from this", I stopped him right there by giving him a thumps up, he smiled. "Old man don't worry, I maybe heartbroken and physically tired but there is no way I will let this beat me, I still have a lot to live for". He just nodded and looked a little sad. Then the guardians came for me, " Come Rose it's time", "Please can I have just five minutes, I just want to give Abe a message for Lissa and Adrian, Please", I said to one of the guardians, he gave me a nod and left me to give my messages", I looked at Abe, "Old man, give the following messages for me, To Adrian, tell him don't look so sad, I'm alright, your little dhampir will be fine and I'll see you in my dreams tonight", I gave Abe a look to tell him this is very important, He nodded. " To Lissa, tell her I glad to see your are back with Christian, Tasha told me that I was the only person who could get you back together, but I didn't think it would be like this, But as she said you two are meant for one another", tears formed in my eyes but I still had more to say, That's when I noticed both Dimitri and Adrian shot up when they saw that, I just swung my head from side to side to tell them no, don't look at me like that. "Tell Christian, you did good, take care of her". And, then my tears really came down then, "Tell the man who looks rather concerned over there even though he kindly stated to me that Love fades, that he is to stay away from all this, concentrate on getting his own freedom, I will deal with mine, tell him he has gotten what he wanted, I give up". God those words choked me but I must stop thinking of him now, I have a new mission to deal with and not sure who I want to help me, but I know one thing for sure, It cannot involve Dimitri, I will not succeed if I have him near me, my feelings will get the best of me. Abe then looked at me and said "Is that all you want to say" , "No, there's more", He Nodded and I started again, "Tell them all that this is all my fault, don't blame yourselves, but known one thing, I did not kill the Queen, and I will get to the bottom of all this", He looked very proud of me then, "the last person I want you to deliver a message to is Tasha, Tell her to carry on fighting, she will know what I mean". Then the guardians came over, "Times up I'm afraid, let's go Rose". "One last thing" I gasped "Father, don't involve my mother in this, keep her away, I'm sure you can do that" I didn't want her involved, she may of not been the most loving mother but she was still my mother. Abe looked shocked at the word father, but he smiled and nodded before walking away. He did not say goodbye or anything because in his mind there wasn't going to be a goodbye. The guardians took me to my cell after that, but I managed to concentrate enough to get into Lissa's head, well it wasn't that hard, her feels are coming through the bond ten to the dozen.

I could see straight away that Abe had been distracted by a female but I know he will deliver my messages later when he can pull himself away. Lissa was talking "I can't believe this is happening to her", she was crying, "I hope nothing happens to her in there" Christian put his hand on her shoulder to give her some form of comfort. "She'll be alright love, this is Rose we're talking about", Christian gave her a half smile but not very convincing. "Yes I know but she's been through so much already, how much more can she take, the only people who knows what's she's been through are me and Adrian" Then I heard a quick breath and he spoke. "Roza, never should of come and found me, this would of never happened", before anyone could speak, Adrian was up and started yelling. " YEAH PRECISELY, YOU UNGRATEFUL COWARD", then I heard Lissa shout "ADRIAN", Adrian didn't stop there though, "Lissa this is partly your fault too, if you hadn't of brought him back, she would of had to kill him, she was already to do all that, now this coward is hurting her more than ever". Then he looked at Dimitri who was standing there getting very angry but also his face looked so sad. "Don't get me wrong Belikov, I don't want you to be together at all, I love her but your rejection of her because of your own selfishness is killing her". He started to calm down but he didn't stop "She's breaking apart, you are killing her, whatever you did to her when you were a monster doesn't compare to what you are doing to her now, did you see her over there" Before I could even breath, Dimitri snapped, like the Dimitri I knew and loved, he struggles to stay in control, he had Adrian by his shirt in a flash. "Don't presume you know me boy, you know nothing about my affairs with Roza, or my feelings towards her, I know what's she's been through I was there, what I did to her is unforgiveable", then he shoved him away, before anyone could speak, Abe appeared.

"Greetings, Gentlemen, Vasilisa", He nodded. Dimitri did not like him I could tell from the way he looked at him. "I have some messages for you" Lissa flinched and spoke, "From Rose?" He nodded, I heard her gulp. "Now where should I start", he shot a very scary look at Dimitri, I think I almost saw Dimitri flinch himself, Abe was that scary, not one to mess with, even Demitri knew this. "Ah I will start with you Adrian", He sounded very firm and a little angry I think, God Abe don't go all paternal on me. "Rose told me to tell you, don't look so sad, I think she said your little dhampir will be fine and that she'll see you in her dreams" He gave Adrian a puzzling look, Adrian just smiled and said "That's my little dhampir" I saw Dimitri's face change slightly or am I imagining things. Abe gave Lissa my message to her next " Vasilisa, she told me to say she's glad you and him there are back to together and something about that it takes her to get locked up to get you guys back together, also she said Tasha and herself always knew you two were meant to be together" Lissa's face soften and a sad smile appeared, "Rose", Abe looked at Christian then "And you, she said take care of her" A flash of teeth appeared on Christian's face, Abe just turned to Dimitri then, face all hard and disappointed. In a very strong and scary voice, he began, I'm sure he was going to add a few words himself. "And to you, the man who told a girl who loves you to the blink of death, who faced many dangers and protected your family that" This he shouted "LOVE FADES" Dimitri then put his head down. Abe went ballistic, "LOOK AT ME YOU SPINELESS MAN" Dimitri's head shot up so quickly, "She told me to tell the man who looks rather concerned over there even though he kindly stated to me that LOVE FADES" Abe Shouted the last bit, even I flinched a little. "You are to stay away from all this, concentrate on getting your own freedom, she will deal with hers", Dimitri tried to cut in but Abe wasn't finished. "I'm not FINISHED" Abe growled at him. "She also stated you have gotten what you wanted, she gives up". Then everyone's eyes shot open and looked at Dimitri, even Adrian couldn't believe what he heard. Dimitri looked so hurt, but why, he wanted this, stop confusing me, what do you want from me? Dimitri then spoke, Abe looked very angry. "I'm glad she finally realises I'm not good for her, maybe now she can move on after this is all over". That was it, that did it, for a Moroi he was rather fast, Abe launched himself at Dimitri, got him by the shirt and started shouting "YOU UNGRATEFUL HEARTLESS BASTARD, YOU DON'T KNOW ONE HALF WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH IN RUSSIA, YOU ONLY KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO HER, NOT WHAT SHE WAS DOING BEFORE AND AFTER THAT, AND WHAT SHE DID FOR YOU TO BECOME A DHAMPIR AGAIN" Abe was heavy breathing and I saw Dimitri's face, he looked sort of confused, maybe because he doesn't know that this man who is standing up for me is actually my father.

Dimitri finally spoke "And forgive me in saying this, what is your involvement in all this, although I think I'm beginning to understand" That's the Dimitri I know, catches on fast but likes to know for sure if he's correct. Abe smiled his usual way, a cruel scary smile. "My involvement is the fact that I am her father" Dimitri's right eyebrow arched. "I see, so you are the Moroi Janine Hathaway fell for, it all makes sense" Abe let go of Dimitri and turned away from him, I've never been so proud to call him my father, he remembered my message to Dimitri word for word, although he did add a few of his own, I smiled.

He sighed "I still have a few more messages to give" He turned to Lissa then, she turned to face him. "There is a message for Tasha, tell her to carry on fighting, Rose said she will know what she's means". Lissa nodded and smiled. "The last message is for all of you, although I don't think it's directed to you", He shot Dimitri a quick angry stare, come on Abe get on with it. "The last message is that you all are not to blame yourselves" everyone's eyes opened so wide they looked like they were about the pop out, even Dimitri. "I'll continue" He said calmly. "Rose stated but know one thing, I did not kill the Queen and I" He emphasised the I part "I will get to the bottom of all this" After that last sentence Abe turned and walked away. All I could hear then was Lissa crying, with Christian and Adrian trying to calm her down. I could not see Dimitri, which I think I'm glad I'm not able to see, Thank god for small mercies.

I broke the connection to Lissa then because I felt both physically and mentally tired, when I came to I was crying my eyes out.

End of Chapter One

I hope you guys like it, this is my take on the last sacrifice.

It's my first time ever writing a fan fiction, I'm not a big reader but just loved this series so much I had to distract myself somehow from the long wait for the next book.

Please Reviews and Comments are welcome but I'm not a writer so be gentle. :-p

I put a lot into the chemistry between the characters like anger, sadness, guilt and love because I think that's what the first chapter is going to be like, I made Dimitri suffer a bit because hey, for one thing no matter how much I love Dimitri myself, he deserves what he gets, plus between the current boyfriend and father, they had to have their say lol. :-p

Well I'll close here for now. If you want more chapters from me just for fun or anything, please post comments, as I will carry on writing them anyway for my own distraction :-)

Just a quick spoiler for the last sacrifice, if you noticed, there is a hint in Spirit Bound that tells you what is going to happen in the last sacrifice in a way. Read the tarot card reading again. I found an explanation online by someone, I can't remember where, but they saw the hint too and described it like this:

The readings of the Tarot cards say death, trapped, escape, journey, action

Meaning:

Death – The Queen

Trapped – Rose in Prison

Escape – Rose Escaping from Prison

Journey – The Mission she's been trusted with which is explained in the Queen's last words on a letter to Rose

Action – Something Incredible will happen, don't know what yet though lol. :-P

Cheers
