Set after Dimitri tells her "Love fades. Mine has."
I cant believe he just said that! Real love doesn't fade. Once he told me I ran out. I'm running and running. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm outside the wards. Suddenly I feel nausea. "Shit," I mutter before I'm attacked by 3 strigoi.
I get hit in the head, and I see stars. I don't want to fall but I'm too tired. I close my eyes and drift away but not before I hear, "Rose!"
I wake up next day in a white bed and white room. I'm in so much pain, the strigoi got me good.
"Oh you're awake good," I turn my head to find Ambrose next to me in a chair. At that instant the doctor comes in. "Rosemarie, you're lucky to be alive.' I nod my head. Don't I know it.
"But you shouldn't be fighting in your state," she admonishes me.
"What state?"
"Miss Hathaway you're pregnant." What?
"What?"
"You're four months along." No she cant be saying that. She turns to leave and I'm left in the room with Ambrose.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him.
He gives me a small smile, "I found you out side the wards," oh, well that explains everything.
"Ambrose how can I be pregnant?" he raises an eyebrow.
"Well, I don't know. You tell me." I want to, but well, I cant remember.
"Lissa's been worried about you." He states.
"Who's Lissa?" I ask. He looks at me and calls the doctor.
"You have suffered from memory loss," oh great just what I need.
When the doctor leaves I say something to Ambrose right before I black out again, "I don't want to remember Ambrose, I feel a pain in my chest. Please don't make me." All I see is him nodding before I black out again.
Next day. (Sorry, if the details are too short, but well I want to get there fast.)
I open my eyes to see the face of Ambrose and the doctor, I try to speak but I cant.
"I'm sorry Rose. You've lost your vocal cords." No, this cant be happening to me. I cant talk? What have I ever done wrong to deserve this?
