Heyo Everyone! I Was actually REALLY surprised how many emails I got this week from all the story alerts I got from my last chapter! It makes me feel all tingly inside ^_^. Anywho.. sorry for taking so long to update! My family came over to visit XP.
So.. here's the random thing. When I read any type of story, I always listen to music that fits the mood of the writing. so i thought I'd give you a song to listen to during this chapter ;)
It's called "Sadness and Sorrow by Toshiro Masuda" AND YES. If Some Of You Know This Song... Then you Are My Best Friend. It's From The Anime Naruto... Which I HIGHLY Reccomend ;)
So Go Ahead And Give It a listen while you read this chapter! (:
Dimitri POV.
As soon as we reached the front gates of the academy, I knew it wasn't going to be good. We had lost 6 guardians in the rescue mission, including Rose.
There was a crowd on the other side of the gates. Sadness and sorrow filled the air. It would take a very long time for the academy to recover from this.
We walked through the gates and people started crying. We carried 2 stretchers in with us. The people that recognized the bodies we had on the stretchers started to weep. We would have to go back to the caves in a couple days to see if we could retrieve the bodies that were left behind. Please let Roza's body be there.
Christian ran to Lissa and hugged her fiercely. I could see the relief all over her face that he came back alive. They stayed like that for a minute, just holding on to each other. I was longing to do that. But Roza's no longer here.
They let go of each other and she started to approach the stretchers. I knew there was no way she could heal them. They've been gone for too long. I could see she wanted to heal them with all her heart, but she just couldn't. I think she knew this too because then she stepped back and started looking around the others that came back from the mission. She's not here. Her eyes found me. Her pure green eyes pierced right through me with panic.
"Where's Rose?" She asked hesitantly- as if she didn't want to hear the answer.
I looked at her with my guardian face on, trying not to show emotion. I couldn't crack. Especially with everyone around to see me weep over my lost student.
"Rose... didn't make it back." My heart broke a little when I said those words. I hated hearing them, especially when they came out of my mouth.
"But... She has to be back! This is Rose we're talking about here."
I just looked at her. There wasn't anything else I could say. I mean.. What could I say? Oh sorry... you're best friend in the entire world just faced the end of her life. Either she's dead or she's a vial monster walking the face of the earth who will probably come back to kill you eventually. No. I couldn't say anything to help her from the loss she's going to feel.
An odd sound came from the back of her throat. Her big, green eyes welled up with tears. Only a second later did they stream down her face. My heart was breaking just watching her.
She fell to her knees on the pavement then eventually on all fours. Her body was shaking from the silent sobs coming from her. Adrian came from behind and put his arms around her, rubbing her shoulders to try to comfort her. Then she released one of the most heart-wretching sounds I've ever heard in my entire life.
She just kneeled on all fours, Sobbing. Her tears leaving dark marks on the pavement. Everybody else was watching her with grief to. Her best friend just died. The person who was always by her side is gone. Now, there's an empty place inside her heart. I knew what she was feeling. No doubt about it, she wouldn't get over this.
I KNOW THIS ONE IS SO SHORT. Actually... ITS TINY. I honestly kinda liked where it left off... Almost like a cliffhanger :p . So What do think of Lissa's reaction? Was it sad enough for ya? I personally thought it needed more detail... but i think I was too lazy to go edit it ^_^. Like it So Far? Revieeeeww! ; ]
