Anyway enough with my rambling! Enjoy this chapter and don't be shy to review!

Chapter 7

Rose's POV

I woke up to find the two person I love the most in the world on each side of my hospital bed. On my right was a sleeping Lissa, drool droping from her mouth as she slept, her arms floded on my knees as she was sleeping on one of the uncomfortable plastic chairs of the infirmary. Dimitri, on the other hand, was very awake and absorbed in the reading of one of his western novels he liked so much. I tried to speak but only a little squeak left my throat.

"Roza! Don't try to speak, you'll hurt your throat!" he said with the accent he only let slip when he was with me. I tried to communicate with him with my eyes, asking him what happened and apparently succeded as he started relating yesterday's events. It all came back at once, the love-making, the attack, my kidnapping, me being turned into who knows what, and, finally, me sending a fire ball right on Tasha.

He told me how I had been unconcious for a good 3 days and that some changes were still ocuring in my body, where as the reason I couldn't speak.

"What... am... I?" I tried to say even if my throat felt like it was on fire at each word. This question had to be asked with words.

"Roza... Doctor Olendzki took a sample of your blood a few minutes ago and went to run it but she still hasn't come back. I'm not sure of what you now are, but I can tell you this, you are no strigoi." His voice sounded so sure, I couldn't doubt it. I looked at him, desire making it's way into my thoughts even in the pain I was. Dimitri must have seen it in my eyes because his gaze darkened and he leaned onto the bed to kiss me when Lissa stired in her sleep. He quickly returned to his previous position as Lissa woke up.

"...hey!" I managed to say. I saw her eyes water before she pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Hey." was all she said, It was only one word but it contained so much emotion it almost made me cry. "How do you feel?" she asked before thinking. "Right, I know. Where does it hurt most, I'll try healing you." she said, a little worried. With a trembling hand, I pointed to my throat.

"Your throat?" she asked in disbelief. "Wait... does it feel like a cheese grater got stuck in it?" she asked.

I nodded.

"Do you smell something different?" Now there was definitly something she knew because her tone wasn't worried anymore. It was like she was talking about something she had experienced herself... I tried to concentrate on her question. Did I smell something different? No, I smelled disinfectant like any hospital... but there was this metallic yet fruited scent thet came from my left. Then I realised in horror that it was Dimitri's blood I was smelling! I was smelling him as if he was a pear I was going to eat! Lissa saw the panic in my eyes because she started patting my arm with her hand in an attempt to reassure me.

"Don't worry Rose, it's normal. If my theory was right, your transformation is now complete and you need blood. You are a moroi now my dear." She seemed happy with this news. I was still processing this information when the good doctor entered the room with a frown on her face. "I don't know how that happened Rose but your blood is the one of a moroi. You are a moroi now."

My brain went in over drive. Okay, I am a moroi now. What will I do? I can't be a gardian anymore, gardians were dhampirs not moroi. I had been raised in order to reach one final goal: to become a gardian. This had been my dream since so long and now it was impossible. I felt like the rug had just been pulled from under my I started looking at the advantages of my position. I may not be able to be Lissa's gardian anymore, but I could still be her friend. I could stop always being on my gards because there would be someone else to do that job. Ans Dimitri... Our relationship wouldn't be forbidden anymore! Well I was still underaged but my birthday was coming fast and I would be 18. I could give him children! Not now of course, but in a few years. He would be able to be Lissa's gardian like he was supposed to and Eddie could take my place! We could all be living at court or in some other place where Lissa – and me now – would be safe. It was hard even in my head to picture me as the one being protected and I didn't think I ever would wrap my head around it. I looked at Dimitri after my reasoning had make its way to my brain. I was now smiling so wide I was kind of afraid my face would split in two. Everything was perfect except maybe, the fact that Lissa didn't know a thing about us. My grin faded a little at the thought. I had to tell her at some point but I didn't think my throat was in any state to do this right now. I was pulled out of my thoughts by Lissa talking to Dr Olendzki.

"She needs blood. It has been three days since she turned and she suffered from mass bloodloss. She needs to feed." At the mention of feeding, my throat started to burst into imaginary flames. God it hurted!

"Of course! Okay, well Gardian Belikov? Could you put her into a wheelchair? She won't be able to walk before she feeds and the feeders are on the other side of campus."

I started to refuse at the mention if the wheelchair, but, in fact, I needed it, I didn't even know if I would be able to lift my head, let alone walk to the other side of campus. I found out with relief that I was dressed, Lissa must have done it while I slept. Dimitri left me in his arms and I sensed he didn't want to put me down. After all, he almost lost me only a few days ago and he couldn't show it because of Lissa.. It must be so awfull! Gathering all my courage, I lifted my head so my lips met his in a brief kiss that was far from enough but all we could get before his career getting in danger, Luckily, both Lissa and Dr Olendzki were busy trying to find a wheelchair. I was relieved when Dimitri anounced that he could get me there in his arms so we wouldn't need to get here after I fed to return the chair. To my surprise, Lissa talked to me through the bond. I had almost forgot about it.

«What do I feel ther Rose?» She asked «Is it a crush for someone I know?» Uh-Oh, she was sarcastic, never a good thing.

«Liss... I wanted to tell you about it before but I just... I just couldn't bring myself to do it.»

«I thinked about it for a while when you were unconcious. Did you know he never left your sides whil you were in there? I didn't neither but I am you forever best friend. What is he?»

«He is... I don't know yet Liss but I think I have found Him. You know?»

«Oh. My. God. You've found Him! YOU'VE FOUND HIM! You and I, we need to celebrate!»

She was literrally jumping up and down in the corridor wich was kind of weird since we didn't actually talk and I wasn't even really looking at her. I looked at Dimitri's face who had lifted an eyebrow in wonder. «Why couldn't I do that?» I wondered.

I murmured in his hear so that my throat wouldn't hurt more that it already did "I told her about us". He imediately let out a breath I didn't even know he was holding and kissed me like there was no tomorrow much to Lissa's joy. My hands found his cheeks and I answered to his kiss with all the energy I had left. There was anly him and me and maybe a little of Lissa's happy squeaks. It was paradise.

Hey! So that one wasn't as long as I hoped it would but I think I succeded in my attempt to make Rose happy. What do you think? Do you think it is too fast? I really loved Lissa's reaction, I was laughing alone in the dark of my campsite while writing. In the next chapter I'll make Rose drink blood for the first time. Should she be disgusted or should she like it? I'll write the chapter with your opinions in mind so please review! I repeat that those who review will have sneak peak! (wink wink!)
