AN: I do not own the amazing story written by Richelle Mead. I wish I did though. Please read and review!

I am dedicating this chapter to Tibbins. Who is a great writer! I wish Tibbins could read my story but I heard from MiSsY-MeL-183 that she was with Dimitri. Lucky her! Well on with the story.

Chapter 9

Mia

The pain was excruciating. It was everywhere. My body was on fire and I couldn't help it. I didn't know what I did to have this happen.

I ran into Lissa and Christian talking. Lissa left shortly after that and I started talking to Christian. A minute later it happened.

My heart started pounding faster, my vision started to get blurry. All of a sudden I started to get dizzy and my legs fell from under me. My head felt lighter. In the distance I could hear Christian calling me.

Then I heard footsteps getting farther away.

"Christian," I tried to yell, my voice was so soft that I could barely hear myself. My throat started getting swollen and I couldn't breath. My eyes shut and I blacked out.

My eyes started to open, I felt something in my arm and I gasped.

"Oww,"

"One second, Mia. The pain should be over in a second." She said as she pulled something out of my arm. My eyes were open now and I could see a needle.

"I'll be back in a couple minutes to see how you are doing." The nurse said

"Okay, thank you." said a familiar voice

"Christian, what are you doing here?" I asked, I remembered him running away. He must have been getting help. Duh, why would he leave me to suffer?

"I came here to check on you. I had to do other things and the nurse wouldn't let me stay." he admitted.

"How long have I been out?" I asked

"Uhmm, for a couple hours. Not that long. I just came to visit you." he replied

"Oh," I smiled, "so do you know what happened?"

"Uhmm, no I don't. I was thinking that maybe you knew." He said

"Oh, all I know is that my body hurt and then I blanked out." I explained

Lissa came in and looked at me. There was guilt in her face. Did she do this? Why would she do this to me?

"Are you okay?" Lissa asked

"I don't know, I don't even know what happened. All of a sudden I felt something hit my chest. I don't think anyone did it but it was like inside my body." I explained

"Oh really? Did you see anyone Christian?" Lissa asked Christian

"No all of a sudden she screamed and fell." Christian replied

I screamed? I didn't even remember that. I blushed and turned to Lissa.

"Oh, how long have you been awake?" she asked me.

"Uhmm, like ten minutes ago. Christian was in here when I woke up so we started talking about how it could of happened." I replied

"When did you get here Christian?" Asked Lissa, you could totally tell that she still loved him. Like she was jealous of me. Was she jealous of me?

"I got here five minutes before she go up. I was coming to check on her." He said

The nurse walked in and smiled.

"Hello Mia, how are you feeling?" The nurse said.

"I guess I am okay. I woke up and I am talking." I laughed. My laugh was interrupted with coughs. My chest hurt and I felt like I was about to puke.

"Oh, you poor thing." the nurse frowned. "I need you guys to leave." she told them.

"Okay, I hope you feel better Mia." Christian said

"Thank you." I replied

They walked out of the room and I started coughing again.

"I need a bucket," I yelled to the nurse, she quickly gave me one and I started coughing into it.

"Is there anything I could do to help?" Lissa said, she must of came in while I was holding my face in the bucket

"I don't think..." the nurse stopped herself "Is there any way you could heal her?"

She looked around and sighed. I didn't want her to because I knew that she could go crazy but I had no other choice.

"I'll try." Lissa whispered, I looked at her face with hope. I still felt bad about it though.

"You don't have to, if it makes you uncomfortable." I offered

She shook her head and put her hand over my chest. A wonderful feeling started to happen. Then it stopped. I looked at her. I was confused I still felt horrible.

"Do you feel any better?" I asked

"We I started to but then it stopped." I admitted

"Oh," Lissa sighed "Let me try again."

She placed her hand back on me and closed her eyes. The same feeling started again and like before it stopped to soon.

"I don't know what's happening." She whispered

"That's okay. You tried your best. That's all I wanted." I told her. I wanted to be healed, I wanted to feel better, but if she couldn't do it then I would have to heal myself.

"I'm sorry," she said as she ran out of the room with tears in her eyes. Was she hurt? Did she lose her powers? Or did she not want to heal me? Many questions ran through my mind got got interrupted with more coughs. I was feeling horrible. I didn't know if I would ever get better.

"Am I going to get better?" I asked the nurse, she looked at me and a silent cry slipped her lips. I gasped and then started crying. She knew that I could die. I knew it too. Lissa probably knew it and that's why she ran out crying.

"Listen," the nurse interrupted my cries "I will make sure you get better."

I didn't know if I believed her but I didn't have enough energy to argue. I started my series of coughs again and held the bucket tight.

I woke up with the bucket by my bedside. I guess I fell asleep because I looked ta the time and it said it was 5:00. I didn't have any of my personal belongings with me so I just stared at the walls. I put the bucket down and stood up. I stretched and then gasped. My chest hurt so bad that I sank to my legs. I moaned and started to cry. The nurse came in and helped me up. She put me back on the bed. It wasn't one of those hospital beds it was like a twin-size bed. After she put me on it she asked me,

"Did you fall of the bed."

"No, I got up and stretched and my chest hurt. Then I fell to my knees." I admitted shyly

"Oh," she sighed

"My chest feels like it has been run over by a car." I told her

"Do you want me give you some medicine?" she asked

"Yes, please."

She gave me some and left me alone. I sat there in one position for a while. I was so bored.

"Dr. Sallian?" I called

"Yes," she said as she walked in

"Can you please get me my phone?" I asked, she took it earlier because it was ringing

"Of course," she said and then walked out of the room. She came back a minute later and handed it to my cold hands.

"Can I have a visitor?" I asked

"Sure," she replied, she left me and I looked through my phone for the number. I didn't know if they could answer but they probably heard that I was hurt. They had to be worrying about me. I didn't really know what to say. I wanted to see him? I wanted them to know that I needed them? I looked at the phone and sighed.

I dialed the phone number and waited for the rings.

One ring...two...come on pick up...three rings...four rings... What if they were busy. I was about to hang up when someone answered.

"Hello," He answered, he had a rough voice

"Hey, it's me. I need to see you." I said
