A/N: This is an alternative ending to my other fanfic, why save a life. It's when Tasha wins the vote instead of Gabrielle. Hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: I don't on Vampire Academy!

Oh crap. Ok, crap's probably not strong enough. I turned to Gabrielle to find she had literally disappeared. Adrian was looking confused, probably wondering where she'd gone. I swore and headed off to find my charge. She was in her room, packing.

"Gabrielle...where are you going?" I asked slowly.

"We have to leave." She said, "You have to pack, now."

"Why?" I frowned, she didn't seem like the kind of girl to run.

"In case you weren't listening, Tasha's Queen. If we stay, you're dead." Gabrielle sighed, "Adrian's gonna kill me."

"Isn't he coming?"

"No."

DPOV

Adrian marched off to find Gabrielle. I followed him. But when we got to her room she'd been and gone. Then we went to Rose's room. They weren't there either. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach as I realised what Gabrielle had done.

"They're going to get on a plane." I said breaking into a run. I heard Adrian running behind me, struggling to catch up. We got a taxi to the airport. They were checking in. We pushed through the queue and got to them.

"Where are you going?" I asked. Rose spun round, Gabrielle ignored me.

Adrian wrapped his arms around Gabrielle's waist and started talking to her.

"We're leaving. Apparently it's too dangerous to stay here." Rose said sighing.

"Since when do you run?" I asked softly.

"I don't. But Gabrielle does." Rose frowned, "But she does have a point. Tasha...Tasha will do something."

"But Gabrielle leaving means we lose the Dragomir vote."

"Oh crap." Gabrielle turned to us, "But I have a way to fix that. Let's not get on a plane." She walked away from the counter and started to leave the building.

We sighed and followed her. It was starting to annoy me, surely she could just tell us what was going on. Gabrielle hired a car from one of the other counters in the airport.

"Adrian..." She turned to him, "Do you know where Jill lives?"

"Jill? As in Jailbait?" He frowned.

"Yes." She sighed.

"She gave me her address...but it's back at Court..."

"Oh for God's sake." She muttered, "Right, we have to stop off ac Court. I suppose you two'll want to pack." She nodded at me and Adrian. We both agreed.

We made a flying stop off at Court. Rose went with me while I packed and Gabrielle went with Adrian.

"Look I'm sorry!" I shouted, "But we had to leave and I didn't want to make you leave everything!"

"Gabrielle you are everything." Adrian turned to me, "Why don't you understand that?"

"Adrian, you belong here, at Court. I don't. I'm not suited to this. Even if I had won the election I still wouldn't enjoy it. I belong out performing. It's what I do. And it's not what you do." I said slowly.

"I'm still coming." Adrian turned back to his bag, "It's not fair on Belikov, or Rose. And I'm not leaving you. Not with Liam around."

I laughed, "Adrian, you can't protect me from Liam. No one can."

"I want to be there for you. I'll protect you emotionally. Not physically." He finished packing and picked up his bag, "Besides, I think you can handle yourself."

"Princess Dragomir?" Someone said from behind us.

I turned to find a Guardian standing there.

"You need to come with me." He said.

"Why?" I took a slightly unconscious step back.

"Our Queen wants to speak with you."

I glanced at Adrian who looked slightly worried.

"All right," I turned to Adrian, "Jill's an illegitimate Dragomir, find her if I don't come back." Then I walked away.

DPOV

I refused to let Rose go alone. I didn't want her alone with Tasha. But it didn't look like that was the plan. Gabrielle was there too. When she saw us she sighed.

"And I was hoping it was just me." She muttered.

Tasha walked in, several Guardians with her.

"You two, Guardian Hathaway and Princess Dragomir are under suspicion for the murder of Tatiana Ivashkov. You are not allowed to leave Court." She said.

Gabrielle snorted, "Guardian Hathaway wasn't even in the country when it happened and I have an alibi."

"We are looking into both of those alibis Princess. But you have to stay in Court."

Gabrielle and Rose exchanged glances. We all knew they weren't going to stay.

"If you are caught trying to leave," Tasha continued, "You'll be put in a prison cell."

Gabrielle bit down on her lip to stop her from saying something. She probably didn't want to get herself in any more trouble than she was already in.

But of course Rose couldn't stop herself, "You know this is ridiculous. You're only doing this because of Dimitri."

Tasha's eyes narrowed. I placed a hand on Rose's shoulder.

"Tasha," I interrupted the glaring match, "What is this really about?"

Tasha's eyes flicked to me, "We think they killed her."

"Rose wasn't even in the country. We have hundreds of witnesses for that. And Gabrielle has Lord Ivashkov and several others to say that she was having dinner in one of Court's restaurants."

Tasha smirked, it wasn't a good look for her, "Gabrielle has very strong compulsion."

Gabrielle choked, "I'm sorry? You think I compelled all of them?"

"It runs in the family." Tasha stated.

I grabbed Gabrielle to stop her from launching herself at Tasha.

"You bitch." She snarled, "You fucking made her do it!"

"I didn't make your sister do anything Princess. Guardian Belikov, it might be a good idea to escort her out." I took Gabrielle out of the room, if she stayed much longer she would've punched Tasha and that could have got her in so much trouble.

"I hate you." Gabrielle said walking away.

"Don't I know it." I walked back into the room to see what Rose had to say about all this.

A/N: So what did you think? I don't know if I'll definitely continue this so I'd like to know what you guys think to decide if I should keep going or not.
