Chapter 11.

DPOV.

When Adrian told us that Rose was trapped somewhere in the depts. of her own mind and couldn't wake up, that broke my heart. To say I freaked would be the under statement of the century. I went on a rampage. It took Lissa's compultion to calm me. Since then, people have been walking on eggshells around me and I didn't like it not one bit. The only thing that drove me then was pure animal instinked. I had to protect her. I felt obligated to. I knew that if I ever told her that she would probably smack me upside the head but I couldn't help it. After being strigoi and having to live through the torment I'd put her true when all I wanted was to have her by my side in my arms, well, you couldn't really blame a guy for being over protective. I felt like I was losing her all over again. The worst part was knowing that I couldn't do anything about it. When I'd voiced my concerns to the princess, she had told me and I quote, "I was being paranoid and ridiculous" she insisted that I was doing more than I knew for Rose by just sitting here and holding her hand. Who would have ever thought that I would need to be told that or to even be calmed by Lissa? She was the poster child for freaking out when things got tough. This made me respect and admire her even more.

Now sitting here all alone in the room with Roza, I realized that she was right. Jill and Sidney had said that when I'd left her side, her heart rate had picked up considerably. Actually, it was alarming enough that doctor Olenski came in to see what the commotion was about. She had calmed once I was seated and holding her hand once again. I felt silly for even doubting the effect I had on Roza. She was my Roza whether she was conscious or not. We would always be connected.

Thinking of her brought a smile to my face. I brushed her cheek with the pad of my thumb.

"You have to wake up my love…I…need you to. We all do." The vulnerability in my voice surprised me. I was never like this but then it wasn't everyday the love of my life got trapped in her own mind unable to wake up. Some desperate part of me hoped that if I kissed her she would wake up like in the fairy tales. I followed the impulse and gently pressed my lips to her's. It was sweet even if she didn't respond.

I had no idea how long I had been sitting there my head resting on her arm when I heard the most wonderful sound in the world.

"Comrade?" Her voiced sound crokey but it didn't matter. She was awake.

"Roza? Roza! You're awake!" I said crushing my lips to her's again in a fearce and pashonit kiss.

She broke the kiss and a small smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"You really missed me didn't you?" she said teasing. If only she knew how close her words hit to home she wouldn't try to joke about it.

"Always my love." I said Standing up.

Dimitri," where are you going?" she said her voice sounding panicked

"Right here, Roza." I said handing her a cup of water which she took gratefully.

"Where's Lis?" she asked and then froze.

"Roza?" I asked,

"What's wrong?"

A look that I would know anywhere came over her face. She was seeing through Lissa's eyes.

She blinked. "huh? Oh um, Lissa, I know where she is."

RPOV.

Seeing through Lissa's eyes I determined that she was at home. She was sitting on the sofa Christian by her side. That, was not what had stunned me however, it was the fact that Lissa senced me in her head.

'Rose? Is that you?''

Lis? You can sence me?

Yes it's weird.

Nope, I think that's why Adrian told me that my ora looks different. The bond is two way now!

It was then that Dimitri had brought me back to reality. All the while I could feel Lissa's excitement of knowing I was awake. Dimitri wrapped his strong arms around me and I rested my head on his chest. He was about to kiss me but I quickly stopped him.

"Lissa's on her way. The bond works both ways now"

There you go! Chapter 11. Hope you enjoyed it! Leave me your thoughts in a review. See? No cliff hanger?
