CPOV

It's been two months, one week, and six days since Rose has been admitted into the hospital. I've been here almost every day. Watching and waiting for something to happen. Not much has been shown so far as recovery. Everyone around her has been bogged down with worry the first couple of months. Now it seems as if everyone's trying to get over it and move on, such as she were really gone forever. Dead. I can't bring myself to believe my Rose is really gone. It just can't happen.

Once the rest of the gang, or what was left of it, came to visit I took one of my rare trips home to freshen up. Knowing Rose would be in good hands if she woke up, since she was now surrounded by Tasha and Anna. Mia had to go back to her job and so did Eddie seeing as she's his charge.

Walking into our old house, mimicking the moves of a zombie, I trudged my way up to the bathroom and started my shower. Not once did thoughts about Rose leave my mind. I know I say this a lot but I can't bare the thought of her leaving me. It was bad enough after she found out about Belikov cheating on her, with her best friend nonetheless.

My shower was done far too quickly. Figuring everything was under control at the hospital I decided not to call the hospital to tell Rose's visitors. A nap looked very good right now. After sleeping on the small couched the hospital had for weeks on end my bed was looking like a fluffy white cloud of greatness. Rose, I love you, but I need my sleep. I'll be back to your room in no time.

The darkness was thinning. I could hear people talking and I started to feel my fingers moving! This is what Mason was talking about! Now I just needed to open my eyes and I'd be back to normal with the rest of my friends and family just like before. Its my time, I think as I opened my eyes to face the light again.

"Hello?" My voice cracked as I spoke. Trying to swallow was near impossible so I looked around and tried again. "Hello?" This time I got a response. "Rose! Your up! What's wrong? Do you need any water?" Looking towards the voice I found it Dimitri was waiting for me. Once he came back the questions started.

"What happened?" I asked curious. When I tried to remember everything was black.

"Well, you got shot and ended up in the hospital. Don't you remember" I shook my head no. "Oh, Roza. How much do you remember?" He asked with curiosity in his eyes. "Well… I remember getting ready for graduation with Lissa and Mia. After that it's foggy. When did I get shot?"

Right after I said that, something flashed in his eyes, hope, happiness, and I think some mischievousness as well. What was that last one about? "You were shot right after graduation. A human who was working with some Strigoi snuck into the ceremony and started open fire everywhere. Luckily no one was killed. You've been in a coma ever since. I was by your side every second of it Roza. It nearly killed me to think of you as dead. Just being away from me for so long. It hurt." Dimitri said with sadness in his eyes as he reminisced.

Once the doctors checked up on me they said I was all set to be released as long as Dimitri woke me up every hour to make sure I didn't fall back into a coma, so Dimitri and I headed back to his hotel hotel. I didn't question why we were at this hospital instead of the one in Montana, but I guess he saw my questionable face so he answered anyway, "After you got shot we wanted to make sure you got the best care possible so we air lifted you to Dartmouth hospital here in New Hampshire, its said to be one of the best in the country." Oh, well that makes since now. Moving my head to tell him I understood we continued the ride to the hotel in silence.

Once we got into the room Dimitri put down all my bags and showed me to the bed I'd be using. I asked him why we weren't sharing and he said he would love to but he didn't want to hurt my stomach area where the bullet wound hit. Soon enough I was changed and ready for bed. Wishing Dimitri a good nights rest I fell into a deep sleep, well for an hour and a half before I was checked up upon.

DPOV (Before she woke up)

I had just gotten back into Rose's room, despite the rest of her friends complaints. After long enough they just ignored me and let me be. After about two months everyone was mostly back at work so it was just down to Christian, Natasha and that Anna girl.

Looking around the room now, I see only the two women here. Christian was nowhere to be seen. Even the other two didn't know where he went. But, after about two hours they finally left, leaving Rose to myself. Sitting by her bed, my hand in hers, I started talking in Russian to her. I was saying everything from how sorry I am, to how I could never forgive myself if she passed away.

Time passed, don't ask me how long, but a nurse came in to tell me was home refreshing himself with a shower and sleeping at his house for the night. Nodding I thanked her for informing me and went back to talking to my Roza.

Right as I was walking out the door to leave I saw her move a little bit. Getting hopeful that she was coming out of her long slumber I sat by her eager to see her awaken. "Hello?" That's her! Her voice was a bit raspy so I went to get the water I brought to give to her. "Hello?" She called out again. After snapping back to reality I gave her water and filled her in on what was happening. Right after she confirmed not knowing about our recent past a plan started forming in my head.

Taking her back to the hotel I started my plan in motion. Since she had no clue we broke up I'll play it like I never slept with the Princess and it will be just like before. Laughing at the genius in that plan I decided to act on it the next morning. Booking a plane to Russia to visit my family was first on my list. I already lost her once because of my foolish mistakes and I can't have her away from me again.

The next morning I packed our stuff and woke up the sleepy Roza telling her were going back to Russia for a little while to visit my family. She never met them so she was excided to be meeting them for the first time. As we made the trip to the airport we went over my family and who they all were. By the time we boarded the plane she knew each and every one of my sisters, nephews, and Yeva.

During the ride she cuddled up next to me and fell asleep again. God, that girl could sleep like it was going out if style. All the while she was sleeping I couldn't help but run through scenarios of what that fire breather's face will look like once he finds out Roza left with me and not him! What sweet payback it will be to know I stole the love of my life back from that selfish insolent little kid. What was rightfully mine will always be mine. Gosh, how I love me Roza.

The second the plane landed I had to wake her up and practically drag her to my mothers house. Since it was so late at night when I called, my mom just told us to go to bed and we'll introduce Rose to everyone in the morning.

After a great night of rest I decided I couldn't wait a second longer to visit my Rose. Just from that one night I've missed her more than anyone I've met before. She has had one of the biggest impacts on my life and I love her for it.

Right as I was getting ready to leave to visit my love, Tasha called my cell,

"Hey Stranger. I'm going to see Rose, you there yet?" She asked.

"Nah, I just woke up so I was getting ready to leave right now actually."

"I see. Well I'm glad you got a chance to go home and rest during this whole thing. Everyone around you could tell how hard this is for you. We just want you to be ok if she doesn't pull th-" Not Tasha too! "NO! Don't even think of finishing that sentence. She will be ok. She will wake up. And when she does, I will be saying I told you so!" I finished the conversation off with that as I hung up.

The drive to the hospital kept me on edge for some reason. I knew she was going to be fine but I had this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that made me question what was going on. It felt like I just went on a rollercoaster with a 89 degree angle and my stomach dropped down to my toes. Trying to ignore the weird foreboding feelings I kept on towards my drive to the hospital.

About ten minutes later I'm in the hospital and speeding up to her room, "Christian! Wait for us!", or at least I was speeding up to her room before Anna and Tasha called after me to wait for them. Once the caught up to us it was now three people speeding up to room 348 to visit our best friend, girlfriend, and almost hopeful future niece-in-law.

"Rose I'm almost ther- You're not Rose!" I came to a sudden halt when I noticed an elderly man laying down in the bed where Rose should be. "Well, I'm not quite sure who Rose is but if that involves the ability to pee sitting down then I'm most certainly not her. I just transferred to this here room this morning. I'm guessing you didn't know this Rose gal left already." The old man said. What? She had left already?

Running out of the room I went in search for a nurse with Tasha and Anna right on my tail. "Nurse! Nurse! Nurse! I called out when I finally found a recognizable nurse. "Yes, Christian Ozera is it?" She nodded to me.

"Yeah, um, I have a question. Rosemarie Hathaway, the girl who was in a coma. Room 348. Did she wake up? She's not in her room any more." I asked in a rushed panic stricken voice.

"Hmm, if I remember correctly when I arrived for my morning shift her nurse told me she did indeed wake up, but a man with long brown hair and a duster signed her out. The nurse on duty told me he was quite a looker and she was quite hung on to him. I'm sorry if they didn't notify you. If you want you may go to the front desk and talk to Marie. She should be able to pin point exactly when she left and who checked her out of the hospital. I'm sorry about how this all had to go down Mr. Ozera. But, like I said, your best bet is to talk to Marie. Front office, desk number Four." With that she walked away.

Rose is gone? She left? Running back to Tasha I quickly re told then what happened. "Was anyone else there with you before you left?" I asked them. I needed to know who took her and I wasn't patient enough to go and ask Marie unless necessary. "There wasn't anyone else around Christian. I swear it. Lets just go ask the woman who signed her out and we'll get her back I promise!" Anna was the one to answer.

Making the walk to the front of the hospital was torture finding out who my Rose left with. "Are you Marie?" I demanded in a quick voice, panting from running far. "Oh, my! Yes dearie. And how may I help you?" I had no time nor patience for her airy attitude. "Tell me all you know about Rosemarie Hathaway's departure from the hospital." A few minuets later and she came up with a rather large file and opens it up for us. "Well, it looks like she left at 9:47 P.M, last night. The doctor said she would need to be looked after for 24 hours so she doesn't fall back into her a coma. The person to check her out was a Mr. Dimitri Belikov. Rather cute man if I say so myself. She seemed head over heels for the boy. Oh! One more thing. It says here the doctor also noticed memory loss. The last significant event she could remember in her life was getting ready for her high school graduation. Is there anything else I could help you with?" Multiple emotions flooded me after what she said, anger for what Belikov did to her, sadness that I lost her, even more sadness that she obviously didn't remember us, and fury that Belikov kidnapped her. Thanking Marie I turned on my heels and booked it towards my car, and in turn the police station. That sucker won't know what even hit him. I am getting my Rosemarie back!

TPOV

Anna and I had no clue what had Christian in such a rush. The second he made it to Rose's room he immediately ran out and started screaming for a nurse. Looking towards Anna we followed behind him and saw an elderly man asleep where Rose was suppose to be. What the heck?

Running after Christian who was now rocketing down the stairs to the front of the hospital we heard the receptionist talking to Christian about Rose. "Taken…Out…Belikov…head…heels…boy…memory loss…graduation." What? Yet again, Anna and I took off on a wild chase to Christian only to see him speeding off in his car. Turning back we went to talk to the same receptionist to get the full response.

"Ma'am, could you please re tell me what you just told the man before us. He's my nephew and it concerns my future niece in law so I would like to know what is going on. I would ask him but he just flew off." I asked in the nicest tone I was able to.

"Well, alls I told him was that she woke up, checked out, and left with a fine looking young man in a duster. She had slight amnesia only seeming to remember up to her graduation. But that's about the extent I told him miss." She answered then looked back down at the computer where she was doing her work. All of a sudden her head snapped up in surprise. "Oh! I just remembered! The man who took her out, his name escapes me but he did have some kind of Russian accent. Just about made me melt in my boots it did. Well, if I remember anything else I'll tell you ok? Have a good day." We then took that as our cue to high tail it out of the hospital and call Christian to find out where Dimitri could have taken Rose to. What ever happens, this will not be good!

CPOV

On my way to the police station I just about crashed the car at the radio. Jerking the car to turn it off I tried getting the lyrics out from burning into my brain.

"Saints born together to fight against their holy fablesthe streets are where we prayhymns for the lonely, wretched and forgottenthe feeling in our hearts wont ever fade awayWe stand tall (united)watch them fall (divided)break the chains and now we'll show them all (fight)Fight for all you knowwhen your backs against the wallstand against the liarsstronger than beforewhen your life becomes a warset the world on fire"

Well, watch out Belikov. You chose the wrong fire user to mess with. Now I'm going to set your world on fire in order to get the love of my life back.
