It had been two days since I first went to the infirmary and I haven't gotten any better. In fact, I've been getting worse. But the good news was the Eddie was getting better. So were some of the other students. However, what was really disturbing was the fact that one student had died already from this flu. They were moroi, so they do have weaker immune systems than dhampire, but still, I couldn't help and feel worried as to what was instore for me. Dimitri has made it his mission to try and care for me in any way possible whenever he can, all the while not getting caught of course. His excuse as to coming to my room when someone did see him was that he was dropping off homework from my classes and training with him. It was dinner time now, which meant that Dimitri was going to be coming to my room soon to drop some food off and "homework." Just then I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in." I called out. The door swung open and in walked my boyfriend. "Hey Comrade."

"Hello Roza, how are you feeling?" He took his duster off and set in on my desk chair, making himself comfortable in my room. I sighed.

"Not great. I just don't understand why this medication can't do its damn job and make me better. I'm getting antsy, I need to train." The medication had slowed down the prosses of the flu, but slowly I was still getting worse. When it came to Eddie he was already in the infirmary and looking like death, luckily, I hadn't gotten that bad yet, but I knew it was only a matter of time. So did Dimitri. He put a brown paper bag on my night stand that no doubt contained my dinner inside, but I wasn't hungry. I could barley keep anything down. Dimitri pressed his hand against my forehead.

"Your fever has gotten much worse Roza, I think I should take you to the infirmary." I shook my head.

"No, there's nothing they can do."

"Still, they can keep an eye on you. I don't like leaving you alone while I'm on duty."

"I'll be fine Comrade, nothing will happen while you're on duty." I could see his forehead crease.

"I don't like this."

"Listen, if anything changes I'll make sure to text or call you right away. Okay?"

"You better." He sat down beside me on the bed and pulled me tight to his chest. Being wrapped in his arms made me feel better, regardless of my health.

"Do you think you will get sick too? Because of me?" I asked him quietly.

"I think if I were to, it would have already happened. But I'm not going to let the possibility of getting sick stop me from taking care of you." I turned my head closer to his chest and kissed it.

"I love you."

"I love you too." We sat comfortably together in silence. No words were needed, we just needed each others presence. Suddenly, I felt something leak from my nose. I put my hand up and it came away covered in a scarlet liquid.

"Dimitri…"

"What's wrong?" He asked. He could tell by my tone that something was wrong. I looked up at him. He quietly gasped. "Блядь! That's it, this isn't right. I'm taking you to the infirmary." I nodded my head because I knew at this point that there was no arguing with him. He stood up to go grab his duster from the chair. I stood up to follow him to the infirmary. But as I did I felt the floor sway beneath my feet.

"Dimitri…" I called out. He turned around to catch me just in time as I crumpled down to the floor.

"Roza, stay awake, stay with me." He called out. I tried, I did my best to hold my eyes open and focus on him, but everything was getting blurry. I couldn't see properly, when he spoke, it sounded like I was listening to him from underwater. It registered in my head that he picked me up and was running towards the infirmary, but I couldn't feel his arms around me, all my scenes where failing me. I could very faintly hear him talking to me. I could only catch words. "Stay…need to get…almost there…Roza…" I knew what he was telling me to do. He was telling me to stay awake, but I couldn't, the darkness swallowed me up.

I held Roza tight to my chest as we sat on her bed. I couldn't stand seeing her like this, but I needed to keep it together for her sake. If she saw how stressed I really was over her than it would just make her stress, and that was the last thing she needed right now. "I love you." She said in a whisper against my chest.

"I love you too." I told her. I was lucky, although I couldn't yet tell anyone, I had the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world as mine. Once she graduated, I hoped that we could take a trip to Russia to see my family, I knew that they would be happy for me that I found someone, and, they would love her.

"Dimitri…" She said quietly. She sounded worried suddenly. I tensed.

"What's wrong?" She looked up at me, I wasn't expecting to see blood leaking from her nose and down her lips. I gasped quietly and swore in Russian. "Блядь! That's it, this isn't right. I'm taking you to the infirmary." She nodded her head without complained, for which I was grateful for. I stood up and grabbed my duster. I heard her call my name in a panic from behind me. I quickly turned around, I had just enough time to grab her and she fell to the floor. I gently laid her down. "Roza, stay awake, stay with me." She held her eyes open, but I could tell that she couldn't see me, her eyes were unfocused and glassy. I gently picked her up and cradled her to my chest as I fled her room quickly and made my way down to the infirmary. I tried talking to her, pleading her to stay awake. But it was no use, she soon closed her eyes, the blood still leaking from her nose. I cursed myself. I should have made her go to the infirmary before. Finally, I reached the infirmary and barged in. There was a doctor at the front desk. She turned to me and looked at Rose.

"Follow me." She said. She leads me to a white room that was filled with different machines and a bed. I laid Roza down on the bed and backed away to let the doctor do what she needed to. "What happened?"

"Well she has the flu that's been going around. I went by her room to drop off some homework. As I was about to leave she got a nose bleed out of nowhere and then collapsed. She lost consciousness about halfway here." She nodded but remained silent as she did the tests. She stuck a needle in her arm and put an oxygen tube in her nose, after she had cleaned the blood away.

"I've only seen one other student get a nose bleed from this flu." Suddenly, she tensed up as if she said something she wasn't suppose to.

"What? What is it?"

"Nothing." She said quickly.

"No, what's wrong?" I could see her inner battle going on in her head, but she soon spoke up.

"I don't want to alarm you, however, the only other student that I've seen get a nose bleed from this illness was the one who past away." That just made me feel even more wrecked with worry. The only comfort I had now was the consistent beeping noise coming from the heart monitor she was hooked up to. Once the doctor was done writing on her chart she turned to look at me. "She's stable for now. I'll come to check on her occasionally. You're welcome to stay with her. It will be good for her to see a friendly face once she wakes up." Even if she told me to leave there was no chance that I would.

"So, she will wake up?"

"If she stays like this, then yes. With the other cases I've seen, the person will often get ill to the point of danger, but they soon recover and are back on their feet it's as if they were never sick in the first place."

"Got it, thank you doctor." The doctor left and I turned to look at my Roza. All I wanted to do was get in the bed with her and hold her tight, but I couldn't, because to everyone I was just her mentor who is concerned. "Roza." I whispered in her ear. I grabbed her hand. "Please, wake up. I need you to get better." I let go of her hand and sat back in the chair, watching her, and praying for her to wake up.
