Rose was laying on the bed... how ever... she could hear things going on around her. She was really confused. It was like she was concious...but not concious. She had been trying to contact Slash in his dreams but he would wake up everytime she would reach him.

Why does he always wake up? And why is everyone talking about me dying? Can't they see that I'm awake? Rose thought to herself.

Maka walked into the room and Rose thought Great... just another person coming to grieve over me possibly dying...

" Rose... you have to get better. Slash really needs you." Maka sighed, putting her hand on Rose's forhead.

I know he needs me. I'm the only one who truely understands him. I need to get into his dreams and tell him what is up with me... but I can't. responded Rose in thought.

"Well... I hope you wake up soon." said Maka walking away.

I am awake! why can't you see that! I know my eyes arent open but I can still hear everything you say! thought Rose as Professor Stein walked in.

"Hello Little Girl" he said in his creepy usual Stein voice.

It's because of you that Slash is miserable. Why didn't you stop Yumani before she did this? Rose responded, knowing he wouldn't hear her.

"I know. I should've broken up the fight, but for some reason I was too terrified of Yumani to do anything. She's a witch you know." said Stein, as if he was replying to Rose.

The Professor? Scared of Yumani? Wait a minute... Yumani's a witch? Rose's head began to hurt. Argh! I can't move my hands so I can't stop it from hurting... So I guess I will just have to suffer...

Professor Stein walked over to Rose and put an Icepack on her head. "There you go. I hope this makes up for me not breaking up the fight."

Wait a minute... can he hear my thoughts? She asked herself.

"Ask a question. See if I can answer it." ordered Stein. He started laughing.

Okay... Rose had to think for a short amount of time. How do you know Yumani's a witch?

"Thats an easy one. I can see soul's and hers is as evil as can be. " he answered, and then continued, " She won't stop until you and Slash are dead."

So I guess you can hear me... sighed Rose. She was relieved but also not. Who does it have to be this creepy guy hearing me? Why couldn't it be Maka or Slash?

"I'm not all that creepy. Actually, I was the best meister to ever graduate the academy. " he answered. defending himself. He turned the screw in his head.

Would yoou please not turn the screw in your head? It sounds disturbing...

"Why not. I guess it would sound creepy to an eleven year old. " he replied, as he stopped twisting the screw.

Hey, Professor, Could you do me a favor? Rose inquired.

" It depends. What do you need?" Stein asked.

Would you please tell everyone I'm okay? especially Slash. I know he is worried about me dying... but I'm not. She answered the creepy professor.

" I guess so. I will go now. " he said walking out the door.

This is great! Now I can atleast talk to someone. Now I might NOT be stuck like this forever. Then she fell asleep.
