FIFTEEN

IN MY PANICKED MIND RIGHT then, getting up and running on foot to Lehigh—despite it being miles and miles away—seemed like a totally solid plan. A heartbeat later, I knew this was out of my league. Way, way out of my league.

As I shot up from my table and tore out of the room, I felt a sudden longing for Alberta. I’d seen her jump into action at St. Vladimir’s and knew she could take charge of any situation. At this point in our relationship, she would respond to any threat I brought to her. The guardians at Court were still strangers to me. Who could I go to? Hans? The guy who hated me? He wouldn’t believe me, not like Alberta or my mother would. Running down the quiet hallways, I dismissed all such worries. It didn’t matter. I would make him believe. I would find anyone I could. Anyone who could get Lissa and Christian out of this.

Only you can, a voice hissed in my head. You’re the one Dimitri wants.

I ignored that thought too, largely because in my distraction, I collided into someone rounding a corner.

I gave a muffled cry that sounded like “Oomph” as my face slammed into someone’s chest. I looked up. Mikhail. I would have been relieved, except I was too pumped full of adrenaline and worry. I grabbed his sleeve and began tugging him toward the stairs.

“Come on! We have to get help!”

Mikhail remained were he was, not budging against my pull. He frowned, face calm. “What are you talking about?”

“Lissa! Lissa and Christian. They’ve been taken by Strigoi—by Dimitri. We can find them. I can find them. But we have to hurry.”

Mikhail’s confusion grew. “Rose . . . how long have you been down here?”

I didn’t have time for this. Leaving him, I fled up the stairs to the main levels of the complex. A moment later I heard his footsteps behind me. When I reached the main office, I expected someone to chastise me for leaving my punishment, except . . . no one seemed to even notice me.

The office was in chaos. Guardians were running around, calls were being made, and voices rose to frantic levels. They knew, I realized. They already knew.

“Hans!” I called, pushing my way through the crowd. He was on the other side of the room and had just hung up on a cell call. “Hans, I know where they are. Where the Strigoi took Lissa and Christian.”

“Hathaway, I don’t have time for your—” His scowl faltered. “You have that bond.”

I stared in astonishment. I’d been ready for him to dismiss me as a nuisance. I’d been ready for a long fight to convince him. I gave him a hasty nod.

“I saw it. I saw everything that happened.” Now I frowned. “How do you know already?”

“Serena,” he said grimly.

“Serena’s dead . . .”

He shook his head. “No, not yet. Though she certainly sounded like it on the phone. Whatever happened, it took everything she had to make that call.
