Chapter 10
Hey guys, I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while. I honestly have a brilliant excuse but I don't want to bore you with my life!
So the last chapter was a Lissa P.O.V and I have decided that I would rather continue on with the story! But for those of you who wanted a Part 2 the rest of the Lissa's story will be explained through Rose~.
Thank you and Enjoy!
P.S Review ;)
Previously on; Rose's Struggle
His blissful moment gave me hope, maybe things around here weren't going to be so bad after all and perhaps Christian could help me escape...
R.P.O.V
I was shaking violently; I felt gloved hands strapping my body down. I was being transferred, signs rushed by and one stuck out as clear as day.
Rehab.
I didn't even know they had a rehab at the clinic?
Maybe I was imagining things, but our race can easily get addicted to drugs as you can clearly see.
The symptoms started not long after I had fallen asleep; I woke up shaking uncontrollably and vomiting all over myself.
I felt too proud to call out for help and I would come through this alone.
That soon changed as stomach cramps caused me to scream in absolute agony. It seems that not only do we get addicted to drugs easily but we suffer the withdrawal tenfold.
Dr Olendzki rushed in as my vitals were going off the charts; I felt my body thrashing around as a seizure started.
And now I was being tied down by several men, all in white and wearing gloves.
I turned to Olendzki.
"Give...me...something." I said in between breaths
"I'm sorry Rose, but for obvious reasons I cannot give you painkillers you have to fight this." she said with incredibly sympathetic eyes.
"Then..get...me..Dim" I couldn't continue my sentence as another cramp hit me.
Being tied up was unbearable and I was fighting against the straps, desperate to get a fix and end this pain.
It was too much; my hair was stuck to my face as I was sweating as much as a waterfall.
I was so ashamed to see myself like this and the only other person that i would allow to see this was Dimitri, i needed him.
Dr Olendzki nodded and left the room hopefully fulfilling my wishes, there were a couple of men in the room making sure i didn't choke on my own vomit.
I felt another cramp coming on; it felt like a knife was stabbing my insides and that the only way to get rid of this knife was the white powder.
Hot wet tears were streaming down my face as I screamed and pleaded for someone to make it stop, I wasn't sure how long I could endure this, I wish I knew how long these things were meant to last.
I felt strong hands grip my shoulders and force me down to stop me from writhing in agony; I opened my eyes and stared into chocolate brown eyes that were more amazing then anything I'd ever seen.
He brought a wet cloth down to my face and wiped away the tears and sweat, whispering words of comfort in part Russian and part English.
I felt myself getting closer into the darkness and encouraged its pain-free embrace, I fell limp in his arms as he continued to stroke me and tell me that everything was going to be okay...
I woke up feeling bone cold; I was freezing to the point where I was sure that I was in some foreign arctic wasteland. I looked around the room and saw faces, familiar faces...
Andre
Eric
Lissa's Mother
Everyone I know that have died.
They looked so...disappointed.
I couldn't bear to continue staring at their faces, for each minute I looked at them I felt weak.
I knew this was a hallucination, or the walls I built up in my mind were completely destroyed and this was very likely.
Between the victims I saw Dimitri asleep on a chair beside me, he looked so peaceful. My breathing started getting uneven and I was terrified of waking him up, but I was so cold like my blood was made of ice cold water.
I imagined my blood turning blue and swimming through my body freezing my insides to ice, it felt so real and I cried out. How could I control something that was on the inside of my body?
"Fight it Rose." All of the faces said in unison
"How? How do I fight it?" I screamed at them.
They all shook their heads towards me and disappeared.
"HOW DO I FIGHT? IT'S INSIDE ME, SOMEONE GET IT OUT" I was screaming at the empty space and I saw Dimitri sit up in shock stare at me.
"Dimitri...GET IT OUT OF ME, I'M SO COLD." I screamed at him begging him to make it stop.
He called for Dr Olendzki and she came rushing in, I felt her hand on my forehead.
"She's got a massive fever, and I can't give her anything for it. Nurse Fina, I need you to grab me cold blankets and ice she's burning up I need to bring this temperature down" Dr Olendzki ordered
Did I just hear her say ice?
NO.
I didn't need ice; I needed something so hot that it burns the ice from within me.
The nurse came in a moment later and I shrunk away from the ice.
She was approaching me and it didn't take me long to realize that someone must have taken off my straps while I was unconscious.
I slapped the ice out of her hands and tried to get away.
Dimitri jumped in then, grabbing my frail wrists and tying them back down to the bed
In the back of my mind I was thanking him, but the monster that was controlling me now wanted to kill him for allowing the ice-witch nurse to do this.
"Rose, your temperature is dangerously high. You need this." He said almost pleading
"You don't understand, i've..already got..the ice. Inside...I can feel it. Freezing my organs." I said crying
"Listen to me Rose, there is no ice inside you." He said to me his face full of concern
But I couldn't listen because she was nearing me with the ice and blankets, and I could do nothing about it.
I felt helpless, something that I had grown so used to for the last 4 and a bit months. Only this time I had something to fight for, someone to fight for.
I would fight this for me, for Lissa, For Dimitri.
He made me realize this as I witness the hope in his eyes, he was on top of me now his knees holding him up and giving me encouraging glances.
I grimaced as he placed each blanket around me and put the ice packs on my body.
I yelped at the temperature.
"Rose, picture something for me. Picture all the good times you had with Lissa while you were away for those years, imagine the best memory that you two had."
I did as he said, and remembered the time that Lissa and I were sitting in front of a fireplace snuggled next to each other with hot chocolate and giggling about a cute guy we had seen earlier that day.
I felt myself getting calmer
"Now imagine the ice is now melting, every part of your body is warm and there is no threat. Fight it Rose, Fight it."
I imagined it, and the blue blood was now retracting in fear as it was consumed with red blood once again while spreading warmth throughout my body.
I felt myself slipping into the blackness once again sensing that this was not yet over but that i had a lot to fight for. I will turn that knife around and thrust it deep within the addiction and cravings and turn those disappointed faces into proud ones...
Poor Rose, ;'( Next chapter will be Dimitri's P.O.V of this chapter and witnessing more fits.
Please review!
