Drugged

by Requested

Scientists have come up with a way to allow dhampirs to have children but no one trusts that it works. Lissa realises that she must give the pill to someone close to her to get the dhampirs to see that it's ok. She chose me, Rose Belicov nee Hathaway but not everything went to plan...and now I'm stuck here, where no one can reach me and Dimitri is being prepared for his execution.

10. Chapter 10

I woke up blurry eyed and confused. Everything was white and pristine and there was the smell of disinfectant in the air. What had happened in the court was all coming back to me, Dimitri and Sophia? I started to panic, the last thing I remembered was Sophia standing over me as I lay there helpless on the floor. Was I her prisoner? I was in some kind of hospital. What were they doing to me? My fight or flight instincts were kicking in. All the monitors started bleeping and I struggled to sit up in the bed. Doctors and nurses poured into the room easing me back in to bed.

'it's alright it's over,' they kept saying. That's exactly what they want me to think, my brain was telling me. I carried on struggling. Usually I could take on all of the doctors but I was slow and groggy so I only just managed to hit one of them in the side of the head before they got a needle and knocked me out.

I awoke to a voice I thought I knew.

'Rose,' a voice was saying 'Rose please wake up. The doctors said you would be awake by now. Please' I heard what sounded like crying. 'please… I need you'

Those words seemed to trigger something inside me and jolted me out of my stupor.

'Lissa?' I said, confused. 'They got you too?'

I had never seen Lissa smile so broadly, except maybe when she married Christian.

'Oh Rose I'm so glad you're okay. I was trying so hard to use Spirit to cure you but something was stopping me, it almost drove me …mad.'

'Cure me from what?' I said even more confused.

'Rose I hate to tell you this but you've been in a coma for four years.'
