I got a review that told me this story was getting boring. I read through the story, and now I feel awful. The reviewer was totally right. I've got to get some romance and action in this story.

Anyway, I want to thank all the lovely reviewers who make me want to continue this story!

Chapter Eleven
Wake up

Rose woke up on the twelfth of September, 2010. She had been in a coma for thee weeks. Those weeks had been filled with fear that she wouldn't wake up. The months had also been filled with hope, because Rose's body was healing thanks to the newest technology that the academy had to offer. Nobody said it, but they all knew it. She was going to need therapy and professional help when she woke up. That was, if she could.. No one knew what kind of damage there might be to her mind. Maybe she was completely damaged and would never be the same again. Maybe she didn't remember anything from the incident, and never would. Truth was, that no one had a clue.
When she woke up, her first words were "Where the fuck am I?". That sent Dimitri and Lissa laughing, because they knew that she was back. There was no need for checking her physical damages because all the nurses had done such a great job with her. The scars had faded, and the damage down there had been completely fixed. She was like nothing had happened- on the outside that is. Even when she started talking, or more like asking, they were still unsure of what her mental state was.

Rose P.O.V.
12.9.2010

"Can I talk to you alone?" I asked. My voice was hoarse, and it scared me to hear how weak I sounded. The persons in the room (besides Dimitri) -Lissa, Christian and my mother nodded. They said their quick goodbyes and wished me something that sounded like 'keep on fighting' and 'Good luck'. I didn't listen though, my eyes were fixated on Dimitri. He sat next to my bed, and held my hand. I threw my arms around him, and I could hear him grunt a little but then I felt his strong arms around me.
"Roza" he mumbled with a weak voice. "I was so worried.". I could feel a sting in my heart. I didn't want to cause pain to the man that I loved.
"Dimitri, I've missed you to" I whispered. I could hear him chuckle, and he pulled me even closer. I let out a happy sigh. Things were going to get better.
Dimitri let go of me ad placed a gentle kiss on my lips. I answered the kiss, feeling his soft lips against mine. He stopped the kiss too soon, and I let out a disappointed sigh. He just smiled to me, and nodded towards the door. I looked at it, and couple seconds later some doctors came walking in. Dimitri gave me a quick hug and kiss on the cheek, before walking to the doctors. I noticed that they gave each other a quick nod, and then Dimitri walked away, leaving me alone with the doctor. She sat down next to the bed, on the same chair where Dimitri had been sitting. I looked closely at her, she was kinda pretty. Not in the traditional way, her hair was too curly for that and the freckles didn't quite fit in. But when you looked at her, there was still something pretty about her.
"Hello Rosemarie." she said with a soft voice. "I am doctor Alana Brook." she introduced herself. I nodded and gave her a half-smile.
"So are you my doctor?" I asked, a little confused. I thought that I was fine, or at least I didn't feel any pain at all. Alana nodded, and cleared her throat with a cough.
"Yes, yes I am." she said. "I'm going to help fix the..." she paused as she looked for words. "the inner damage." she finally said. My mind raced as I went through what she had said. Inner damage? Like in mental?
She noticed my confused look, and started explaining.
"I am going to help you get through what happened to you. Rose, you've been through a lot of horrible things..." she started explaining, but I wasn't listening.

Pain. Sharp pain. Screams: Me begging for him to stop. More pain. Blood. So much blood, my blood.

"Rosemarie!" a concerned voice woke me up. I noticed that tears were streaming down my face. I looked at Alana, and she sighed.
"You saw something, didn't you?" she asked, even if it didn't sound like a question. It was more like a consumption. I nodded weakly and leaned back in my bed.
"I saw... I, um... Was I..? Did it really.." I mumbled, unable to get the word out. Alana touched my hand, and looked me in my eyes.
"Yes Rosemarie, it really happened. You were sexually assaulted by a strigoi about a month ago." she said with a quiet voice. I let a whisper escape my lips, and new images filled my mind.

The numbness. Dimitri's tears. Cold. Salty tears. Dimitri begging me to stay with him... Whispers. And then... nothing.

I opened my eyes and looked at Alana.
"But I was dead" I whispered. "I died, didn't I?" Alana nodded and handed me a tissue. I wiped my tears and blew my nose before throwing the tissue away. It missed the trash-bin and landed on the floor, but Alana didn't seem to notice.
"Rosemarie, what happened was something that I have never witnessed before." Alana started a strong voice. I sensed that it was going to be a complicated story, so I sat up and looked at her with a puzzled look.
"It appears that there's something very strong binding you and guardian Belikov... Somehow he managed to-" Alana silenced, and I could see that she had a hard time finding the correct words. "wake you up." she finally said. I nodded slowly, while my mind processed what Alana just had told me.
"And that's not everything." she continued, and I looked up at her. "We have some information about this, and it appears that you and guardian Belikov are now linked."
I raised my brow questionably.

"Linked? How?" I asked. I noticed in her frown that she didn't want to tell me. "How?" I repeated, this time louder. She looked startled at my sudden outburst, and sighed.
"It means that if you pass away, guardian Belikov will do that to and the other way around" she explained, and I could see the sadness that she was trying to hide. She thought that it was such a tragedy to be linked, but I couldn't help to feel a little happy. That meant that I didn't have to live without Dimitri, we would always be together. On this life or another.
"Oh." I said, so that Alana wouldn't notice the secret joy inside of me.
"Yeah..." she sighed. "But we should already already get started."
The next hour we went through my memories, and Alana helped me through my tears. I was thankful that she was there. Even though I usually hated shrinks, she was different. She knew what to say, and when to say nothing at all. I appreciated that. After an hour she hugged me goodbye, and I hugged he back.
"Let's see how you sleep tonight. It might be tough, but I think that you can handle it. If not, we'll talk about it tomorrow." she said before walking out of the door. I nodded and closed my eyes. An uneasy feeling filled my stomach. I was raped, and everybody knew. I felt ashamed, and then anger of feeling such silly feelings. I was woken from my thoughts as the door opened. I opened my eyes and stared at the door that was now slightly open. Dimitri stood next to it, and gave me an unsure smile.
"Hey Comrade." I said, voice a little hoarse from all the crying. He seemed to ease up when he heard that I used the nickname that I had come up with.
"Hey Roza" he whispered and sat down next to me. He held my hand, but didn't look me in my eyes.
"Dimitri... I remember." I whispered, and a tear rolled down my cheek. He looked up, and I saw that his eyes were shining from the tears that threatened to break free.
"Roza, I'm so sorry..." he whispered. I shook my head in confusion.
"No, it's not your fault." I said with a shaky voice.
"It is." He insisted. I pulled him in a hug and we sat there, whispering words that didn't matter.
"I need you to hold me." I whispered to Dimitri. He nodded and climbed next to me in the bed. I threw the blanket over us both, and leaned my head against his chest. His breathing calmed me down, and I could feel his arms wrapped around me.
"It's gonna be alright." Dimitri whispered. "I'll always be here with you."
I smiled and kissed his chest.
"You don't really have a choice,do you?" I chuckled. He kissed my forehead and I could feel him smile.
"No, I don't think I have" he said.
I let out a happy sigh and started to fall asleep.
"Love you." I whispered to Dimitri before dozing of.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.
- Umm have what?
The beginning of the happy ending.
- So this is going to end soon?
Maybe. We'll see.

Reviews keep me going, and there's nothing I love more than hearing your thoughts!
