Alberta p.o.v.
There were so many strigoi on the campus, to many for me to fight on my own. Backup is coming except there are shortages of guardians and miori come first, so I'm on my own for a while. I eventually fall into a pattern of killing the strigoi, but they are never ending and I'm getting tired.
As I'm battling my own strigoi, I here fighting going on beside me. Good, backup has arrived, not even looking to see who it is, we start taking down strigoi rapidly. Until I hear a shout and the person next to me is thrown for away and does not move. Crap.
And that's when I go flying through the air and hit the ground hard, and before I can even think, the strigoi is on top of me and is biting my neck. I let out a pained gasp, then a soft moan. After a minute of him drinking my blood, I'm floating on cloud nine not aware of anything. Then it all stops and I hear shouting and fighting going on around me. Someone picks me up and then everything is black.
Rose p.o.v.
I'm standing next to Lissa, making sure she is okay, while worrying about Alberta on top of it. I wish I never said the things I did. Alberta has been the biggest help to me and i just ruined it. I try to push these thoughts out of my head, and focus on guarding but its not working.
After a hour as passed, lockdown is finally released. I give Lissa a quick hug and then go running to the guardians, in hopes of finding Alberta. Everyone I pass does not know where she is, but I finally see Stan and go running to him.
"Guardian Alto, have you see Alberta. I need to talk to her" I ask.
"That's not going to happen any time soon, Guardian Petrov was taken to the infirmary and she was unconscious. I'm sorry."
And with that apology, he is off to guardian headquarters. Damn it, she's in the hospital. I start to make my way over there and when I arrive, I ask to see Guardian Petrov. No. That is the answer I am given and told only adults are allowed to see her. I'm about to fight my way into her room, when I'm grabbed from behind. I look and see Eddie pulling me out saying this will not help anything.
I sit outside to night time, and then precede to sneak in. I look into all the rooms and finally find Alberta. She is laying in bed looking so small and pale, and still unconscious. I grab her hand tightly, and sit there begging for her to wake up. Hours later, I lay my head down on our joined hands and fall into a restless sleep.
Alberta p.o.v.
Man, I feel like I've been hit with a truck. As I come to, I feel a heavy pressure on top of my hand. I look down and see Rose, clutching my hand, fast asleep. I smile softly, and run my other hand through her hair. Seconds later she jolts awake and takes in her surroundings.
"Rose, why don't you go to bed" I ask. She whips around and faces me, and let's out a sob.
"I'm so sorry about all the things I said. None of them were true and I'm a moron." Then she starts crying even harder. I tug her hand and manage to pull her on to my bed. She grabs me in a huge bear hug and doesn't let go. Slowly she starts to calm down and curls up into me.
"Hey, I forgive you. You were angry, its all okay" I whisper to her. Eventually, we both fall asleep, holding each other tightly.
And that is the first sight Janine sees when she walks into my room.
