Chapter 6:

Lissa's POV

I watched as the sun began to set through the window in my room, Morning at , Time for me to go see Rose. I pulled myself together and put on my jacket. I'd never had to be the strongest before, never had to stand up for Rose. I walked out of the Moroi dorms and crossed the grounds, only a few dhampirs were up to go to private training. Rose would have been upset to see them, she had practiced at this time with Dimitri.

When I reached Rose's door I knocked softly and waited, no answer. Adrian had said she opened the door for Eddie; maybe it was time to tell him the truth, to stop pretending Rose was fine. How could she be?

"Rose? Please answer the door." I called through the wood, but there was silence. Maybe she was asleep?

I sighed and went down to the Moroi common rooms, there was no point waiting for Rose.

About half an hour later Christian walked past the door way and then saw me and came in. He sat on the couch beside me staring at the screen I was watching, a soapie that was utterly boring. He turned back to me and pulled me into his arms, talking softly into my ear,

"Lissa, she's going to be fine eventually. She's Rose, you know her, she gets mad, and she'll calm down soon. You can't be strong forever; you don't need to be strong when it's just us."

"What if she really hates me?" I whispered back.

"Impossible, Rose loves you. She has always protected you now you've got to trust her."

I sighed trying to believe him.

He leaned forward and kissed me gently before grabbing my hand and getting up.

"You need breakfast then you'll see how silly this is." He said jokingly.

We ate with the others and I waited for Adrian to get here,

"Did you go see her?" He asked as greeting to me,

I nodded, "No answer, she was probably still asleep."

He sighed, "Same."

"She answered the door for Eddie, we need to tell him." I whispered in Adrian's ear.

He nodded and turned to Eddie, "Eddie, there's something wrong with Rose." His voice sounded rough and when he paused I took over,

"When she left the school, she tracked down Dimitri in the woods a mile or so away from here. He was strigoi and she had to stake him."

He looked shocked and then seemed concerned, "Is this why she was in her room all of yesterday?"

Adrian nodded and I sighed, "She's not okay. We've been knocking on her door but she won't respond. She's ignoring my calls as well."

His face was shadowed with worry, "Is it like after Mason...?"

Christian joined in the conversation, "it's worse, like 5oo times worse. Last time she talked it through and got over it, now... She's not doing anything."

Adrian nodded again, "She's not eating or leaving her room. I don't know what else because I haven't seen her."

It struck me how much Rose had to be struggling; we couldn't just leave her alone to die.

She didn't come to lunch, or the afternoon classes we shared. No one else had seen her either. After school I went to her room again but she still didn't reply. Eventually I gave up and went to my room, texting Adrian with simply 'still no reply'. He didn't text back and I worried that the affects of spirit would be too much for him, he wasn't drinking or smoking.

I looked out my window and saw him sitting on a bench and sure enough, he was smoking. At least he wasn't going crazy.
