Once they were gone I ran over to the window.
"Lissa!" I called out frantically but there was no point. She was probably already dead even though I hated to admit. I sat on the floor and cried frantically. She was my charged and died on my watch. If I didn't go she would still be alive. I was tuned out to everything but something brought me out of my reverie.
"Rose! Help me!" A voice said. I jumped up and looked around there was no one there. "Please. I can't hold on any longer!" I looked out the window and holding on to the ledge was a frantic Lissa.
"Oh my god, I'm coming." I held on to the window with one hand and grabbed her with the other. I pulled her up.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. Are you okay?"
"Yeah," And with those finally words she collapsed onto me.
"Lissa! Lissa, wake up! Please wake up!" I said trying to wake her up. I was so worried that she might have died. No, I'm wrong she wouldn't die on me. Would she? I was freaking myself out at this point. I picked her up and held her in my arms as I ran down the stairs to the Court hospital.
"Help me someone!" I yelled as I kicked the door open. Someone came in from a door at the end of the room.
"Oh my," She ran over to me. "What happened?"
"Don't worry. Please help her. Others are hurt as well." She ran over to the phone on the table.
When she was done on the phone a bunch of people came running out of doors and took Lissa. I ran back upstairs to bring the others own stairs.
I untied Christian, Eddie, Adrian and Dimitri from their chairs. I picked Eddied up because he was injured the most. I ran back down stairs and gave him to the doctors. A guardian helped me haul the other three down stairs.
Dimitri was the last to be brought down.
"Rose what happened to your head?" A doctor asked. I move my hand automatically to the back of my head and pulled my hand back. There was blood on it.
"I go hit before." The words came out slurred and everything went black.
I soon woke up in a white room. It brought back memories of when I used to wake up at the nurses office back at the Academy. I let my eyes adjust to the light. I tried to sit up but someone's hand pushed me back down on the bed.
"You need to rest. You might have a concussion." I looked down at the hand first and then I turned to the person.
"Christian? I'm so sorry –." I started but he cut me off.
"I know everything, Lissa told me. I'm the one who should be apologising. If it wasn't for you we'd all be dead today." You could tell he had been crying.
"Were you hit?"
"No I was compelled to go to sleep." That's good news. One person spared from the wrath of Victor.
"Good to hear. I'm sorry I had to kill Tasha."
"If you didn't she could have killed Rose and she would have changed Dimitri. She needed to die. She played all of us." A few tears escaped his eyes. He closed his eyes. I sat up and wrapped my arms around him.
"It's okay. Everything's going to be okay." He started to cry into my shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Rose. Please forgive me. Lissa could have died today. She's my life. I should have protected her better. She's my wife for god's sake. What kind of husband am I?" I pulled back. I wiped his tears away with my finger.
"Listen it's not your fault. I shouldn't have left. You did what you could. No one knew that was going to happen. She still loves you and I still approve of you being her husband." He pulled me into a hug and hugged me tightly.
"Thank you. You should rest now." He pulled away and pushed me back down onto the bed.
"How's Lissa."
"She's okay. They gave her medication to sleep so her body could heal and so she could rest better after healing Victor. She's still in a little shock after what happened but all in all she's okay."
"How about everyone else?"
"Dimitri's in ICU, Adrian has a concussion an Eddie's also in ICU."
"How did Eddie and Dimitri end up in ICU?"
"They both fought before being tied up the save Lissa, Adrian and me."
"Oh. What's their condition?"
"They're both stable but the doctors think they both have concussions and possible internal bleeding." I was shocked to hear that.
"It's all my fault," I was getting panicky. "If I didn't go no one would be in ICU. They'd be happy and not in pain."
"Rose," Christian leaned closer to me and held my face so I would look at him. "If you didn't come they wouldn't be in ICU, they'd be dead or Strigoi. You saved them, all of them." I started to cry.
"But . . . if we didn't have that argument. If I still didn't love him . . ."
"Hey, I was under compulsion and you can't help it that you love him. You guys are meant to be together, happily." He let go of my face and leaned back in his chair.
"Hey Lissa's probably going to wake up soon. I know she would love it if you're the first person she sees when she wakes up." I told him. He half smile.
"Yeah, you're right. Are you going to be okay?"
"I think so." He got up and went to the door. "Christian," He turned around.
"Yes."
"Thank you for everything. Really you keep her safe even though I wasn't here to protect her."
"I'll tell her you said hi," and with that he left the room.
A/N: Hey you guys are probably freaking over what has just happened in the past few chapters. Don't worry it will be a happy ending so don't worry.
