Roses POV

I don't know how long I lay there, focusing on the strangeness of the pain rather than the pain itself to take away the edge of it. It totally sucked that the gym was at the other end of the school to the clinic.

Lissa just sat there, she was too scared that she might try to use Spirit again; she couldn't stand to see me in this kind of agony. For her it felt like her heart had been cleaved in two, she wanted to help but all she could do was watch and check herself if she almost tried to heal me again.

After a while, someone came running into the gym

Dimitri.

My lips involuntarily twitched upwards when I saw him. His eyes were full of concern and fear.

'Relax Comrade' I choked,

'Oh Roza what happened?' my heart flipped at the sound of my Russian name, probably not a good idea with Ice wrapped around it.

I rolled my eyes, and Lissa, seeing a reprieve from the torture of feeling helpless, said that if Dimitri would stay with me then she would go and keep watch.

Dimitri nodded at once and Lissa scooted out the door.

'She's keen to leave' He remarked

'Don't blame her' I said 'She did all she could do'

'Didn't she heal you?' he sounded almost angry

'Yeah, twice, but it just made it worse' I smiled weakly 'Never mind'

'Does it hurt much?' he asked, as if he didn't want to know the answer but he felt the need to share my burden

'Like a bitch' I assented, letting out a brief, breathy chuckle at the question

'Are you scared?'

I glanced at him and swallowed, but I knew he had to hear me say it; he wanted me to say no, that he was being stupid and clucking like a mother hen. But he wanted that to be the truth.

Instead I tried to buy myself time

'Me?' I scoffed in as Rose Hathawayey a way that I could, he put a hand on my forehead and stroked my hair,

'You' he said gently, seeing through my bravado.

'Terrified shitless Comrade' I admitted softly.

He leaned towards me and our lips met. Not to be soppy or anything, but he put so much love and strength and hope into that kiss that I knew that he honestly believed I was going to be ok.

He made me feel stronger.

'Thank you' I whispered, and we lapsed into silence for a few seconds; while he just stroked my hair and crooned nonsense words in Russian in order to soothe me. And I was soothed. As always he lent me his power and belief and love, and I ate it all up like a starving dog.

The pain was getting worse and I knew I was going to pass out soon, black spots were dancing across my eyes but I could still see Dimitri clearly, I memorized his face, every worry and laugh line, every shape of his lips and nose, every strand of his hair and every single depth of his eyes.

'I love you' I said. I knew he knew it but I just had to make sure, knowing I was going to black out and not knowing if I was going to wake up again.

'And I love you' He whispered, nuzzling into my ear so his breath blew on my earlobe.

'Dimitri?' I pleaded. I had one more thing to ask of him

'Yes, my Roza?' I knew by his tone that he would grant me anything right now. If I asked him to kill the bastard that had done this to me then he would do it without a second thought. I didn't however think that he would leave me at the moment … nor do the chicken dance around the gym.

'Hold me' I begged. I knew it would hurt more if he moved me, but I didn't care, I needed him just then.

Without hesitation he brought my head into his lap and slid his arms under mine and clasped them tightly over my stomach, he bent over so I could still see him and he planted a kiss to my forehead.

I closed my eyes and savoured the sensations of absolute love. The Ice cracked and loosened a little; but I passed out before I could open them again.

So watcha think?

Shorter than usual I know but i thought that since I did two yesterday I could get away with it. And anyway this seemed like a good place to end it :)
