Christian POV

As soon as I walked through the doors, my heart felt like it was being staked. Seeing Lissa there in the hospital bed was not a pretty sight. She looked very pale, more so than any moroi I've ever seen. The long gash on her arm stuck out in vibrant red and pink, making it very noticeable.

I walked in on her cutting herself.. She could have died. How much blood did she lose? It must have been a lot, I found her in a pool of it!

Her eyes met mine and they were so strange. It was as if she had a million different emotions bottled up inside her and they all meshed together. It was like paint, you mix together the blues, greens, reds, yellows and all sorts of colours and they make a mucky brown. Looking at her in the bed, I couldn't tell what she was feeling.

I strode forward and took a seat in the chair beside her bed, instantly taking her hand in both of mine.

I looked deep down into those emerald eyes I loved so much and could see pain. Suffering, sadness, shame. I just wanted to take all her pain away. I wish Rose were here with us.. I wish she wasn't taken.. I wish Lissa didn't cut herself.. There are so many things I wish I feel like I am going to explode.

I don't know how long it was before her eyes started to well up with tears, threatening to fall down her pale cheeks. As soon as I saw them form in her eyes, I took her in my arms, now sitting on the side of the clinic bed.

I let her cry on me, let her get everything out. Hell, I even had a tear escape from my eye.

"I'm sorry Christian. I'm so, so, so, sorry!" She blubbered into my chest. She was shaking from crying so hard. I want this to stop.. I want to make her feel better. I rocked her back and forth in my arms murmuring comforting words to her. Shh, it's okay. It's all over. I forgive you. I don't blame you. You're alright.

After a few minutes, she eventually ran dry of tears and got a hold on herself. Oh my poor girl, how much has she been crying these last few days?

"I'm sorry Christian, I just- I don't know what happened. One second I was looking at myself in the mirror and then I was so angry, absolutely furious. I just, couldn't handle it. And the razor blade was right there by the sink.."

I interrupted her bu kissing her on the forehead.

"Shh, it's alright. You're safe now and it's all that matters. Was it the darkness that made you so angry? You should cut down on using magic a little more you know.. since it's just going to build up inside of you from now on."

I didn't want to say Rose's name directly considering she had just had a meltdown but she really should be doing less magic. It isn't good for her. Rose wouldn't be here to take away the darkness.

Our conversation didn't get much farther than that because a 6'7" giant Russian came charging in.

"I came as fast as I could, are you alright princess?" Dimitri gushed out, immediately going to her side beside me.

"I've told you so many times before Dimitri, call me Lissa. And yes, I'm fine now. So when do I get out of this place? I'd much rather be in my own bed."

As if on cue, Dr. Olendzki came in with her clipboard in front of her.

"How are you feeling now, Vasilisa?" She asked with a warm smile on her face, concern in her eyes.

"I'm feeling better than before, that's for sure." she said with a sad smile. Dr. Olendzki patted her shoulder softly, smiling sympathetically.

"I'll just have a talk with Guardian Belikov and Mr. Ozera here for a moment and then you will be good to go. Your clothes and other items are in the bag underneath the bed if you want to get changed into your own clothes."

Lissa nodded and swung her feet over the side of the clinic bed to gather her things. Dimitri and I followed Dr. Olendzki to the door where she stopped just outside of it. As soon as the door clicked shut behind us she cut the the chase.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid Vasilisa will have to be put back on her anti-depressant pills immediately. There's just too much going on right now and we don't want another incident like this happening again any time soon."

Dimitri had his guardian mask on, his face solid as he gave a curt nod. I did the same because well, I agreed. I don't want anything happening to Liss and there's only so much one person could handle.

"I think that's a good idea. I don't think she'll like it but it would make everyone else feel better. And in the long run, herself." I agreed with her. There was a gush of a breeze and then a voice quipped up form behind us.

"How long?" We all spun around to see a very weak looking Lissa, leaning against the door frame, bag at her feet. "How long will I have to be on the pills?" She repeated herself.

We were all still shocked to see that she had heard everything but it had grew even more to hear her say that she would agree to be on the medication.

"Only a couple weeks at first, and then we'll see how it goes from there." Said Dr. Olendzki. "I was also going to recommend going to see a therapist every week, just to talk things out with her. It makes things a lot easier to handle when you have someone to talk to."

Lissa nodded her head at that, "I think that would be great, thank you."

"Come by my office sometime tomorrow to pick up the medication. I also suggest that you don't sleep alone tonight, do you have any girl friend that can stay with you for the night?"

Lissa's eyes hardened at her words then looked away to the blank, white wall. Dr. Olendzki seemed to pick up on what she had just said and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Oh dear, I'm so, so sorry. I completely forgot." She said with all sincerity.

"I'll stay with her." I pipped up. Dimitri and Dr. Olendzki were about to object but I started to speak before they could. "There's no one else who she would feel comfortable around."

At that, they both just nodded and Dr. Olendzki went back into the clinic. Dimitri looked at both of us, deciding what to do next.

"I'll come by to check up on the both of you every once and a while. In the meantime, I have to go speak with Alberta and Kirova about an important matter." He took one last look at us, then took off int he opposite direction.

I took Lissa's hand in mine and grabbed her bag in the other, leading her back to her room.

By the time we had got there, the sun had already began to come up from over the horizon. I said I would go get washed up quickly in her bathroom. I was still wearing the bloody t-shirt and heans from when I found her in the bathroom.

When I got there the first thing I noticed was the scent, it smelt entirely on bleach and everything had been cleaned up, no more blood. I had also did an inspection and noticed that all her shaving razors and painkillers had been removed from the room.

I had changed into grey sweats and an comfy t-shirt and went back out of the bathroom. Lissa was there, sitting on the end of the bed, staring at nothing in particular.

She had already changed into her pyjamas and her head sprung up when she heard the door to the bathroom close.

I walked over to her queen sized bed and took her into my arms, not wanted to let go. Afraid that if I did, she would crumble into pieces.

A few minutes and tears later, she had fell asleep with her head on my chest. I carefully lifted her into her bed, covering her with her vibrant purple bedspread.

I crawled underneath the covers right beside her and fell asleep with her in my arms.

Dimitri POV.

I was greatly concerned about Vasilisa but I had a more pressing matter on my mind. I suppose that was the only reason I had when I went against the rules and let Christian stay in Vasilisa's room.

I knocked once on the office door and Kirova's voice shot through the air, giving me the permission I needed to enter her office.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Of course I would be nervous, but no matter what her answer was, I would probably go ahead and do it. With or without her permission, I would go to Russia and hunt down Russia. After all, I had made a promise..

Sorry It's A Little Short... I'll Make The Next One Longer!
