A/N: I am updating! My brother has just gone to the A&E...
Adrian's P.O.V
Marcus appeared at the bottom of the gravelled driveway just as I appeared at the top. He held Sydney in his arms and his expression was that of pure worry.
"Sydney!" I shouted, not screamed, screaming is for girls. Marcus was telling me something, but I blocked him out, preparing for the rush of magic that was going to flow through my veins and into Sydney. The spirit darkness I would feel after would be so worth it if only she would be okay.
Her eyes fluttered for a bit when she heard my voice. Her lips started to move. What was she trying to say? I was sure that if I weren't a vampire I wouldn't have heard her.
"Goodbye Adrian, I love you." She whispered every so softly.
I was in shock, so I froze. What did she mean 'Goodbye,' didn't she know that I would always save her? My world started to spiral and I found that I couldn't stand up straight – it was as if I was drunk.
"Heal her you idiot!" The little voice in the back of my head roared, or maybe it was Marcus. I wasn't sure anymore.
Someone shook me roughly. "Adrian! Snap out of it!" It was definitely Marcus.
I remembered Sydney and how she needed me and I tucked all the darkness, insecurities and self pity into a box and locked it but I knew it wouldn't stay there for long.
"Sydney?" I asked weakly.
"C'mon!" Marcus was standing in front on me yelling, while Eddie was halfway up the drive, carrying Sydney.
And so I, Adrian Ivashkov, ran after him.
A few minutes later, I was breathless but ready to heal Sydney. Eddie had placed her on the couch. He had his back turned to me, his aura showed sadness, anger, disappointment and shock.
"Castile?" I asked. I was worried. He was standing in front of Sydney protectively but his back was turned. I heard a sniffle. Eddie was crying? Oh no!
"Move!" I screamed, I no longer cared that screaming was for girls. He didn't react. "Castile move! Let me heal her!"
He turned ever so slowly. "You can't heal her." He said coldly, his face was stone hard and emotionless but his red eyes gave him away.
"I can heal anyone Castile if you haven't noticed." Yes that made me seem all the more arrogant but I swear if he didn't move, not even Jill would bear to look at him anymore.
"You can't!" He yelled. "She's- she's dead!" He sobbed, putting his head in his hands. "We were too late." He seemed to forget that I was Adrian Ivashkov, a spirit user, seer of auras and healer of all injuries, able to resurrect people from the dead.
"Castile, I can bring her back." I said simply, hoping he'd get the message into his grief stricken head and move. Of course I understood his motives, I mean if I hadn't been able to bring her back I'm pretty sure I'd be asking Lissa if she had any of those razors left. That or I'd drink and drink and drink until my system wouldn't be able to handle it and shut down.
"No Adrian, I promised her that I'd never let you do that for her." He said, but he slightly cowered under my strong, threatening gaze.
"Technically when she dies all promises are broken now MOVE!" I shouted the last part, but by God he was a Guardian through and through.
"No." That single word was enough to drive me insane.
"Shove it Castile," I said in a dangerous tone. "Or I swear to God I will shove you myself and you'll go over a balcony!"
He looked slightly surprised at my threat but didn't move. "I don't break promises." He stated.
"But I do." I said and I punched him right in the stomach. I'd heal him later, right now I had priorities. He didn't get up straight away, probably from shock. I mean I was Adrian Ivashkov, a lazy Royal Moroi whose hands didn't do any manual labour, but he didn't know about Sydney's and my self defence classes with Wolfe. I touched Sydney and was just about to bring her back when Eddie decided to jump on my back. What happened to protecting Royal Moroi?
"Get off Eddie! Don't you want Sydney back?" I shouted trying to shake him off, man he had a tight grip.
"Of course I do! But I always keep my promises." He answered shouting back.
Where was Marcus when you needed him?
Rose and Dimitri ran in. Ah back up arrives at last. Dimitri restrained Eddie, knowing full well Eddie would never disrespect him by fighting him. Rose grabbed me.
"I got here as soon as I could and what are you doing." She hissed.
"I'm trying to bring Sydney back from the dead so let me go!" I roared at her.
Her arms went limp. "Sydney's dead?" She asked stupidly.
I didn't answer and ran over to the couch Sydney was lying on. I hoped I hadn't been too long, I gripped her arm gently and summoned my magic...
