Hey everyone! I am so so so so sorry that I have been MIA. I had some personal stuff going on and then Spirit Bound came... I was a little disappointed in it... Anyway... longer note at the end of the story. Peace!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own VA and after Spirit Bound, I don't really want it... :(
Roza's POV:
I stood in the greenhouse and looked at the dead plant. Why wasn't it working? I reached out again to touch the plant, but it wouldn't revive. It was probably just because I was so nervous. This was all dependant on me. I took a step back and took a deep breath. I had to relax. There was a short window to heal and I couldn't miss it. I looked up at the sky. "You have to let me save her."
"That's all you ever do..."
I looked over at Alli concerned. "What do you mean?"
"From what I've been told, since I was five, all you have done is save me. You shouldn't have to anymore."
"Alli, I want to."
She chewed on her bottom lip. "What if it doesn't work?"
I shrugged. "Then it doesn't work."
"Will you raise Natalia and Magdalena?"
"Of course I will."
"Don't tell Magda about me okay?"
I cocked my head. "What do you mean?"
"If I die, I don't want her to know what I was."
"Alli, I am not going to lie about something like that."
"Then I will find someone else who will. I will send her home with my father."
I gave a small growl. "You know, I could kill you right here where you stand."
"And I could suck all of the blood out of your body... but that would be too kind of me. Instead, maybe I will just awaken you..."
I took a step back. "Alli, you are scaring me..."
"Am I?" She looked into my eyes and I knew she could see the fear. That was when Alli froze. Our eyes stayed locked and her breathing started to slow. "I'm sorry..." She turned and ran out of the room.
AJ's POV:
I ran down the hall and towards the main entrance. Of course it was locked. I started pulling at the door handles. "LET ME OUT!" I felt two arms encircle me and I started thrashing. "Let go of me."
"Not until you calm your ass down."
I started to relax at my brother's voice. "Mase..."
"Alissa... calm down... please..."
"I almost killed her."
"Who?"
"Roza..." I took a deep breath. "I'm scared..."
He walked us over to a bench and sat down. "What are you scared of?"
"I'm scared that if I let them kill me and something happens, I will never get to see my children again..."
"I know you are, but AJ..." Mason trailed off.
"But what?"
"AJ... Can you keep living like this?"
I shook my head. "No, but Mason, I can't lose them either. I remember what it was like growing up with dad gone... I can't imagine mom being gone too..."
"I know sis, but please... don't kill yourself yet. Give me a little more time to think of a solution."
I nodded. "Okay." I ran a hand through my hair. "I need to apologize to Roza..."
"She knows."
"How do you know that?"
"She is standing right there."
My eyes shot up. "Roza..."
