Heads up for the song "The Scientist" by Coldplay that inspired me to write this story.

Jill POV

"Adrian…" I tried but my voice cracked from the emotional pain I felt surging through me. 'Its not my pain' I kept telling myself… It's Adrian's.

I saw him sitting on the floor across the overly white room, inside the psychiatric hospital made specifically, for Moroi, dhampirs, and human's who's been attacked by strigoi and have gone into a mental state of shock.

I walked up to him "He… hell…o" I forced myself to say.

He looked up at me with bewilderment. His eyes were emotionless and faded, that sparkle of amusement and brotherly joy he always gave me was gone.

"Do you remember me?" I asked

"I… you….don't… what…" he mumbled and looked back down.

"He doesn't remember anyone" Dr. Nowak stood next to me, he was a tall good looking Moroi with strawberry blonde hair and gray eyes.

Tears were threatening to come out. "Why has he gone into this mental state and I haven't? Why do I feel his emotions and hear certain of his thoughts only at times? What is going to happen to him? Will he stay this way forever?" I asked running out of breath.

He looked at me with a slight look of pity "What I know about spirit is limited, considering this is my first patient with this sort of situation, but I will try my best to give you as much information as I possibly can." he paused "But as of right now, things are not looking too promising, his mental state is still out of whack, as I may say, but we will try our best for a discovery to improve his mental health" with that, he waved goodbye and left.

As I looked at Adrian, the tears I've been holding back began to fall wildly down my cheeks. I suddenly felt strong hands surround me and turned around suddenly to see a handsome sandy haired dhampir. "Eddie?" I choked as I hugged him.

"I know you told me to wait outside, but I had to pull a major Rose and ignore you" he smiled weakly at the joke.

I tried to smile, but I couldn't, it was something Adrian would've enjoyed. We stood there hugging each other until we heard someone clear their throat. It was a nurse telling us we had to leave because visiting hours were over. We gave one last glance at Adrian and we left. When we walked outside to the hallway we were met with Angeline and Neil.

As we walked down the hallway we ran into Sonya. "Hello, anything new?" she gave a small smile.

I swallowed "No. Still the same as always."

"Not to sound rude. But why are you here? Visiting hours are over" said Eddie

"Lissa finally was able to make it possible for me to join the doctors for a cure to spirit darkness, even though I don't have degree for it. I'm already beginning my investigation to help discover a cure, since what's a better way than to have someone who's experienced in spirit?"

"I hope having you there will rush for an advance to help Adrian" I said hopefully.

She gave a weak smile "They gave me an office, will you accompany me to my office? I need to speak to all of you " she looked at all four of us.

We arrived at her office which was in the corner of the second floor. The office was medium sized with boxes sprawled all around the room.

"I apologize for the mess" she said as she moved a few boxes off the chairs for all of us to sit.

She sat down at her desk and took out a note pad. "Now lets begin shall we? So tell me what exactly happened that day?" she was talking about the day we had a run in with Alchemist.

My throat got thick "Well… it started when Sydney died…"
