Woohoo! Over 100 review! Thanks so much guys (:
I felt disgusted. Even while I was unconscious, I could still fell Victor biting into my neck and sucking my blood away. Next time I see him, I'm going to kick his ass. I knew I needed to wake up, but for some reason, I couldn't come around. I assumed it was because I lost too much blood, but then again, I shouldn't know what's going on right now. Fear shot through me. With Adrian, he couldn't end the dream because of Victor. Is Victor here with me now? I concentrated to wake up. If Victor was with me, I needed to get the hell out of here. I want to see him in person, not in my unconscious state. I finally felt something and I pulled toward it. I could hear a buzzing in my ears and a faint light on the back of my eye lids. Then, like coming out of a pool after being under for a long time, I sat up quickly and gasped for air.
I realized I wasn't in Rosie's car anymore. I looked around to find myself in a bed with wires hooked up to me. I went through my memory and remembered that Rosie had taken me to an academy; St. Ana's. I looked around and saw what looked like the clinic at St. Vladimir's. I looked at my arm and pulled the IV out of my arm and the heart beat monitor thing off of my finger. Luckily, I was still in my clothes from Rosie's. They were the sweats and a t-shirt I was wearing to bed, but it was still better than a dumb hospital gown. I swung my legs over the bed, feeling okay to walk and was about to get up when the door to my room opened. I turned to see Dimitri walk into the room and also a worried doctor. I guess they were worried that my heartbeat stopped, but Dimitri had a smile like he knew I would do something like that.
"Rose, you really should stop doing that." Dimitri said. I grinned.
"What ever you say, Comrade." He shook his head and sat down in the chair next to my bed and I shrugged and got back into the bed, but still sat up. The doctor was beside me looking at a chart.
"You're lucky to be okay, Miss. Hathaway."
"It's Rose." I said flatly. The doctor sighed.
"Well, you lost a lot of blood and we were worried about that bite." I shrugged.
"It will heal eventually." I said, keeping up my smart ass comments.
"Rose," Dimitri warned. "You're lucky they even took you in. If they didn't, you would have had no where else to go with that bite." Dimitri winced as he said bite. I saw the pain in his eye from seeing me like this. I smiled at him.
"Hey, I'll be okay. I've had worse." I chuckled and he smiled. I saw the love burning in his eyes. Mine mirrored his. The doctor then picked up the IV I just ripped out and grabbed my arm.
"I have to put thing back in, but you can keep the heart monitor off, but only if there is another person in the room with you." I nodded and she put the IV back into my arm. I didn't feel a thing.
"May I speak to you outside?" The doctor asked Dimitri. He hesitated but nodded and followed her out of my room, shutting the door quietly. Ugh, I hope I didn't have to stay here long. It's bad enough back at my own school, but now I have to go to another schools clinic. I suddenly thought of Adrian. I desperately hoped he was alright. He seemed okay in the dream, but you never know. Dimitri then walked back in the room and took his seat again.
"I'm sorry Dimitri. I'm so weak, I've failed you so many times with the kidnapping and Victor and everything." My head dropped, and to my surprise, Dimitri pulled me into a hug. I tensed at first, thinking that he was going to be mad, but then relaxed. He pulled away and looked me dead in the eyes.
"You will never disappoint me. You are the strongest person I have ever met. You sacrificed yourself back at the academy to save dozens of life's. I love you with all my heart, Roza, and that will never change." I smiled and we embraced each other for not as long as I would have liked. He pulled back and I then remembered about Adrian.
"Shit! Can I use you phone? I need to call Adrian, he was with me in the dream with Victor and-"He stopped my rambling by pulling out his phone and handing it to me. "Thank you." I said with relief in my voice. I didn't love Adrian, but he was still my good friend and it was my fault he got hurt in the first place. I needed to know if he was okay. I dialed Adrian's number and waited for him to answer. I prayed for him to answer and finally, he picked up. Only, it wasn't him, it was Alberta.
"Alberta? This is Rose. Where is Adrian?"
"Rose! I'm glad your alright, but I have some bad news about Adrian." I stopped breathing.
"What happened? Is it because of Victor?" She paused.
"Yes, well, he is still with him. Well, were assuming that." I let put a ragged breath.
"What do you mean? Did Victor kidnap him?" Dimitri was looking at me with concern in his eyes.
"Rose, he is still in the dream state. Victor is holding him captive there. We got a note from Victor at the school saying…"
"Saying what?" I asked franticly.
"He will only release Adrian…… in exchange for you." I dropped the phone onto the bed and just stared forward. I swallowed, this cant be good.
To clear things up, Adrian is in the dream state which means he is unconscious like he is when he visits dreams; he is technically with Victor in the dream, but his actual body is still at the academy. Does that make sense? If not, tell me and I will try and explain it differently.
