I ran toward the exit with three other guardians. Suddenly three Strigoi jumped out at us. One of the guardians was killed quickly. Meanwhile another grabbed me from behind. He was strong, too strong. I struggled but I felt his teeth sink into my neck for the second time in less than 24 hours. This time, there was no Christian to save me and the other guardians were all fighting. I felt myself losing consciousness. My thoughts turned to Dimitri. 'Goodbye' I thought.

I finished off my last Strigoi and turned toward the exit, hoping Rose's group was out and safe. My heart sank when I saw they had run into a new group of Strigoi… and Rose was being bitten. Pure fury rose inside of me and with an animalistic growl I raced toward them, ramming into the Strigoi attacking her. I had caught him by surprise and dispatched of him quickly. I turned and picked up Rose. I didn't know if she was alive but I ran with her in my arms out of the cave. We were the last ones and I continued following the group back to the safety of the wards. My heart felt heavy. With her being jostled so much by my running, I couldn't tell if she was breathing.
The sun set just as the wards came into view and we made it over safely. I didn't stop running though until I reached the medical ward. Dr. Olendzki pointed to a bed and I set Rose down. I moved out of her way but still hovered.
"She's breathing, but barely. She must've lost a lot of blood. Get Lissa!" she called out and turned back to Rose. At this point I was crying both from relief that she was alive and fear because her situation was so critical. Lissa walked in and when she saw who it was on the bed she ran over. She healed everything she saw.
She turned to Dr. Olendzki, "That's all I can do. I can't put blood back into her."
"You did fine. Go take care of the others as best you can," he told her. I knew even with Lissa's help, Rose had only a slim chance of making it.

I wanted to stay by Rose, but I knew it wouldn't help so I returned to healing people. When I had no more strength to continue, I went into Rose's room. Guardian Belikov was still in there with his hand on hers and an anguished look on his face. He wasn't crying anymore but I was still shocked by the idea of it. Guardian Belikov wasn't the type to break down.
I went to Rose's other side and sat down She had a little more color but her heartbeat was still low. I wondered if she could receive a transfusion but my body was too exhausted to go find Dr. Olendzki. I fell asleep in the chair.
