XPOV (Guardian Xavier) while Rose is a sleep
I walked back to Roses' room after speaking to Guardian Petrov. I was left to think about what she said about Rose and Guardian Belikov. I was pissed that he left and Rose is the one who is suffering.
I sat in one of her chair in the room and closed my eyes not wanting to leave her just yet or to fall sleep. I moved around trying to get comfortable, it didn't work. So I just made do with what I could, I was half asleep when I heard someone moving, well more like running. I opened my eyes just to see Rose run through her door, I ran after her.
"Rose!" I shouted but she ignored me and ran towards the bathroom's I ran after her, then I stopped just outside the door, not sure if I should go in or not. So I shouted in.
"Rose, are you okay?" I didn't get a reply so I waited about a minute and walked in. There was only one door closed so I walked towards it, guess she was in there. I got to the cubical just as she started throwing up.
"Rose are you okay?" I repeated?
"No," she choked out.
"Rose I need you to open this door so I can come in," I said, then I heard a shuffling and then the door swung open. I looked at her, her eyes were puffy and wet and she didn't look good.
"Rose, what's wrong?" I asked not sure what to do.
"I feel like shit!" she snapped. I chuckled inwardly at myself. I should have expected her to give a snarky reply to such an obvious question.
"Come on I'll take you down to the clinic," I said to her.
"No, just help me up, take me to my room." Rose ordered.
"Alright, come on," I bent down and placed my hands under her so I could pick her up bridal style. I walked slowly back to her room trying not to jostle her so she wouldn't throw up on me. Rose was breathing deep breaths so I had a feeling the sickness was passing.
We got back to Roses' room, she had fallen asleep in my arms so I placed her back on her bed. I walked around her room looking at her pictures of herself and friends, trying to understand her. I wanted to get to know her, to care for her. I had never met anyone who has had this strong effect on me that I could remember.
I was looking at one picture of Rose and the Princess, I'm guessing this picture was taken when they had disappeared for two years. Rose had shot in her hand, while facing the Princess and the Princess was also holding a shot, laughing as Roses' lips were against her cheek. I smiled at the picture, it looked like they knew how to have fun. I was just turning to another when I hear a whimper sound form across the room.
I spun round and Rose was still asleep but she had a frown on her face, I frowned but turned back round to the picture I was looking at before, it was a picture of her, and an older guy. He had the same colour eyes as the Princess, so I'm guessing that this was Andre Dragomir, her brother. I sighed and faced Rose she looked so happy in the picture, nothing to worry about but now facing her she looked troubled, more like pained and this was in her sleep.
I walked over to one of the chairs in her room, but soon as I sat down I heard a sobbing noise I spun round to see Rose sobbing, but with her eyes shut. I wasn't sure if she was awake or not but I went over to her, wrapped my arms around her, and pulled her to me while I rubbed her back. Her body was shaking in my arms and she was muttering and I could vaguely hear her what she was saying was breaking my heart.
"Adrian was right. If Dimitri did love me he wouldn't have left me. I was just a play thing. He was just like a Moroi, didn't give a crap about anyone; using them and leaving." She muttered. I pulled her closer to me. Her words were so soft as she listed off names. "My mother, Mason, Dmitri, Lissa's family, Adrian. All of them left me somehow or for some reason. Even Lissa." I could feel her breathing slowing down. "Sorry Liss," she muttered and then I couldn't feel her breathing anymore, I looked down her chest wasn't moving.
I adjusted her in my arms, I placed my lips over hers hand gave her a puff of air, and ran out of her room. It was coming close to curfew so students were moving back to their dorms. But I heard one voice that stood out from the crowd.
"Rose," a female voice shouted, and ran towards, me but I kept going. Every few seconds I blew another puff of air into her mouth and felt her chest expand in my arms.
"Lissa, where are you going?" I heard a boy shout. I ignored what they were saying and I kept running to the clinic, I opened the door and Dr. Olendzki jumped up from her desk.
"What's wrong with her?" she asked.
"She's not breathing," I told her. I placed her on the bed and stood back, while other nurses came through helping Dr. Olendzki.
"Go and get Guardian Petrov now!" Dr. Olendzki told me, I nodded and ran out of the room leaving Rose in capable. As I ran through the clinic I saw the Princess and Lord Ozera, and Eddie Castile they stopped me.
"Guardian Skyle, what's wrong with Rose?" he asked.
"I'm sorry Lord Ozera, I don't know myself but I have to go, goodbye." I said and sprinted out. I ran towards the Guardian building hoping to find Guardian Petrov in her office. As I ran through I got some funny looks, I got to Guardian Petrov's office and knocked and went in only to see a person talking to Guardian Petrov.
"Guardian Skyle, what is the meaning of thi..." she started.
"It's Rose," I said.
"What's wrong, where is she?" Guardian Petrov asked concerned.
"Clinic. She's not breathing," I told her.
"Sorry Dimitri, we will discuss your schedule later on while you're staying here but I have to go," she rushed out and we walked out of her office. I didn't look at him or say anything, because I hoped that wasn't the Dimitri that Rose was on about and if it was I knew my self control very well and it would turn out bad.
We ran across the school grounds heading towards the clinic, I could vaguely hear someone following us but I didn't care who it was at this precise moment. I wanted to get back to my Rose. My mind suddenly, had a shock from what I thought. My Rose, she wasn't even mine to call my Rose. God what has she done to me?
We reached the clinic and the Princess and Lord Ozera was still sitting there outside Roses' door. They looked up at our presence but then the Princess did the one thing that surprised me. She stood up and ran passed us to Dimitri who apparently had followed us and started hitting him. I suppressed a laugh and looked over to Guardian Petrov who was staring gob smacked at the Princess as well.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ROSE?" The Princess screeched at him, hitting him in the face. He grabbed hold of her hands, and gently restrained her from hitting him again. I guess I was right about who he was. He was about to say something but Dr. Olendzki came out. The Princess pulled out of his grip and ran over to Dr. Olendzki.
"Is Rose okay?" she asked.
"Rose has been stabilized," she told the Princess and the turned to me. "Guardian Skyle, you came just in time. Rose is stable but she is having problems breathing. We have her on oxygen and a heart monitor."
"Is she awake?" Guardian Petrov asked.
"No, it seems Rose has gone into a deep sleep, I'm not quite sure why yet but with more time, and a few more tests we will be able to tell." Dr. Olendzki told her.
"Can I go in?" I asked, not sure if I could handle staying out here. Dr. Olendzki looked at me, and nodded.
"You can go in, but don't do anything to wake her she will wake up in her own time," she told me as I walked over.
Lissa POV
Christian and I were walking around before curfew we still had thirty minutes before curfew but we just wanted to relax, but my thoughts kept going back to Rose; all of sudden I wasn't in my head I was in Roses' head. She was leaning over the toilet, throwing up.
"Rose, are you okay?" a male voice asked, and Rose groaned. After about a minute, the door swung open and she could hear his footsteps coming closer to her cubical. She leaned against her arm, and tried taking deep breaths, hoping to feel better. Which I guess was a bad choice, because soon as the air went up her nose, she could smell toilet cleaner which caused her to throw up again.
"Rose, are you okay?" the voice repeated.
"No," she choked out.
"Rose I need you to open this door, so I can come in," the voice said. Rose sighed and went to move, which caused her to feel sick again. She breathed in through her mouth, but she still felt sick. Rose reached up and unlocked the door and leaned up against the side of the cubical...
"Lissa ... Lissa!" someone was shaking me, my vision focused and I was staring into Christian deep sea blue eyes. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm ... fine. I slipped into Roses head, that's all." I told him, He frowned, but let it drop. We were walking towards the pond and sat down by the edge.
"Liss, how'd you slip into Roses' head?" Christian asked.
"I don't know," I told him looking at our hand joined. "It just started to happen a few days ago, just twice now."
"What'd you see?" he asked.
"Just Rose throwing up all her food that she ate," I told Christian and he scrunched up his nose, I laughed. "Aww Chris," I said while laughing, and he pushed me over and started tickling me.
"Who laughing now," he said while tickling my sides.
"Christian ... stop!" I breathed out between laughs.
"What's that?" he said tickling me.
"Chris...tian stop!" I wailed. He laughed and stopped tickling me and brought me up so I was crushed against his side.
"I love you, babe." He whispered in my ear. I involuntary shivered, as he kissed my neck.
"I love you to Chris," I whispered back, and leaned against him. "Come on curfew is going to be soon," I said trying to get up.
"Oh no, not yet," he whispered to me, and I smiled.
"Come on Christian or else ..." I smirked, and got up this time.
"Or else what?" he smirked back.
"You won't get any," I told him and started walking towards the Moroi dorms,
I could hear Christian catching up with me.
"Wait up Liss, I wanted to tell you something." He called after me. I slowed for him but just as Christian caught up to me I could see one of the new Guardians running across campus with someone in his arms. Someone who looked like Rose.
"Rose," I yelled but the Guardian kept running, so I took off after him, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to catch up.
"Lissa, where are you going?" Christian yelled catching up with me.
"It's Rose ..." I panted, pushing myself to go faster. Christian's pace quickened too.
"Liss, you need to slow down a bit or else you will exhaust yourself," Christian told me.
"I can't. I need to catch up with them, I need to make sure Rose is okay," I told him, he didn't say anything he just nodded and kept pace with me. We got to the clinic to see the Guardian running out.
"Guardian, what's wrong with Rose?" Christian asked, truly concerned about Rose.
"I'm sorry Lord Ozera I don't know myself, but I have to go, goodbye." He said and then sprinted out. I looked at Christian who just shrugged, and walked over to the hospital chairs, Christian sat down and I just paced.
"Lissa," I ignored him. "Lissa, babe, pacing is going to do nothing, just sit down." He said standing up and walking to me. "Liss..." Christian said turning to me.
"Yes?" I said looking at him.
"I need to tell you something about my Aunt..." he said.
"What about her?" I asked, frowning at this. I loved Tasha, but right now my focus is on Rose. I am so angry at Guardian Belikov for leaving Rose, I hate him. The offer Tasha had made at Christmas and Rose's dislike for her finally made sense to me now. Christian didn't know anything about Rose and Guardian Belikov situation, so I am sure he wouldn't understand me lack of desire to talk about his Aunt.
"Well she and Guardian Belikov are coming down to visit for a while, and well they will be arriving sometime tonight or early tomorrow." he told me.
"WHAT?" I kind of yelled. Christian flinched back when I yelled at him. "Sorry that was just unexpected, and everything going with Rose I'm not sure what is going on," I lied. Inside I was seething at Belikov. Did he actually leave Rose for Tasha and her offer of a family?
"It's okay but-"he was interrupted by the same Guardian that we saw with Rose, and Guardian Petrov running in and then Guardian Belikov behind them, I don't know what came over me but I ran over to Guardian Belikov and started hitting and screaming at him.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ROSE?" I screeched at him blowing their cover. He gently gripped my wrists to keep me from hitting him, he opened his mouth but Dr. Olendzki came out. I jerked out of his grip and ran over to Dr. Olendzki. "Is Rose okay?" I asked impatiently.
"Rose has been stabilized," Dr. Olendzki told me, and then turned to the Guardian. "Guardian Skyle, you came just in time. Rose is stable, but she is having problems breathing. We have her on oxygen and a heart monitor."
"Is she awake?" Guardian Petrov asked.
"No, it seems Rose, has gone into a deep sleep. I'm not quite sure why yet but with more time, and a few more tests we will be able to tell." Dr. Olendzki answered her.
"Can I go in?" Guardian Skyle asked. I looked at his aura, it was a shade of pink, but mixed with other colours.
"You can go in, but don't do anything to wake her she will wake up in her own time." Dr. Olendzki told Guardian Skyle, and he followed her into Roses' room. I sighed and looked at Christian who was looking at me, I shrugged and walked towards the exit, walking past Guardian Petrov and Guardian Belikov.
