Rose POV

When I awake this time it's Lissa that's sitting next to my bed and she's sobbing quietly. I startle her as I reach out to comfort her. She wipes her eyes and squashes me in a hug. "I was so worried, don't ever do that to me again," "I won't, don't worry," I say. Then the doctor comes in to give me a checkup and discharge me. Apparently Lissa healed me when I got back. Lissa and I walk back to her room before we can talk privately. The minute we walk in she starts harassing me, "How could you do that, you could have died! Don't you have any value for your own life, you almost scared me to death!" All I could do was shrug. I couldn't give her the real reason why I did it. I couldn't tell her about Dimitri, as much as I wanted to. When she's done asking me questions it's my turn. She tells me that we lost lots of moroi and guardians. I try not to sound suspicious as I ask about Dimitri. She tells me that he's still in the clinic but most of his injuries have healed, just a couple of bruised ribs. It turns out that I had been unconcious for five days and that Dimitri had been for three.

I head to my room to change then go to the clinic to see Dimitri. I hold my breath as I enter his room. He's sitting up in bed with a western in his hands. "Typical" I think. He looks up when he sees me, I take one step and launch myself into his arms
