Don't own Vampire Academy…Oh, and I really struggled with the first couple paragraphs so sorry if they're not very good.

I was stunned. Alberta had come up with an almost perfect solution for me. Rose would be thrilled with it like I already was. I breathed in deeply; for once excited about the invigorating feeling it gave me. I walked back to Rose's side. She looked better and I was ready. I knew she would be okay because now that everything was better, she had to be okay.
So I told her the plan. I wasn't sure she heard any of it but I had to tell her. "Rose, Albert knows, but its okay. Don't panic. She's not doing anything bit. I think we were almost done with the private lessons anyway. Now, we can be together without the student/teacher boundary. And she said, as long as we aren't caught, she won't tell Headmistress Kirova. So we have an insider, one on our side for once. Finally, something is going right."
She breathed deeply now which was music to my ears. Color had returned to her face. She looked so beautiful. The machine beat a steady rhythm. Her hear was full and so was mine.
I sat back and it hit me once again, the guilt. It ate away at me. It was still my fault she was in here. I could feel my face twist once again in anguish.

I woke up slowly. I was aware of a hand on my own. It was warm. When I opened my eyes I saw Dimitri. He looked into my eyes and his head fell in what I thought was shame. "Dimi…" I started to say his name but suddenly his lips were on mine. He pulled back a little and guilt crossed his face.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I should've been next to you. I don't want anything to happen to…"
I cut him off with a kiss of my own. I wouldn't have managed if he hadn't been so close still. He pulled away again and my head slumped onto the pillow. Damn. My body was so weak; I couldn't even hold my head up. "Do NOT blame yourself," I told him sternly as I could manage. "I should've been looking out for them better than I did. Besides, I'm not dead. So what did happen?"
"You're group…was attacked."
"Yeah, I kinda realized that when I felt the teeth in my neck." I meant it as a joke but when he flinched, I found myself apologizing. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean…I shouldn't have said…" I stopped. I couldn't speak. "I'm sorry" I finished lamely.
"Don't. Don't apologize to me. It's my fault. My fault you were there, my fault you were hurt. It's all my fault. I should've been quicker to you. I got there so late…"
"It is not your fault. It sounds like you saved me. You saved me."
"Roza, I hope to never see you like this again." He finally seemed to be forgiving himself and I pressed this advantage.
"How do you want to see me?" I asked naughtily. He laughed albeit painfully.
"I want to see you exactly like I did in the cabin," he responded.
I grinned. "Well, you could always take me there."
He kissed my forehead. "Not yet. Get better first."
"Okay" I told him and drifted back to sleep. It was peaceful once again.
