A/N: Okay. So I'm back. That trip was horrible. I halfway drowned. Anyway on to the story.

Chapter 14

Aleksi POV

I threw up in the trash can again as Niki rubbed my back. He and Zak were taking turns staying with me. My fever was high and we couldn't get it down. I hoped Adrian would get here soon. He could heal me and I'd be fine. The only reason I was sick was because when we were little Adrian or Lissa would heal us so we didn't build up our immune systems. I guess they were too afraid something like what happened to Alek would happen again.

Zak came in the room to take over for Niki. He grabbed hold of my hair to hold it back. He then put it into a ponytail. He always was one to make the least work possible for himself. He smiled at me and I flipped him off. He gave me a bottle of water. Unscrewing the lid took more effort than I thought possible. Finally I got it off and I took a giant swig, almost choking on it. Zak put his hand up to my forehead.

"You still feel pretty warm." The concern in his eyes was enough to have me worried. I laid down and fell asleep.

Christian POV

I still didn't understand why Lissa kept healing the kids when they got sick. It only made them more vulnerable. They never built up their immune systems. They could probably die from the common cold. What would happen when neither of them were around? The kids would get sick and then they wouldn't have anyone to heal them. It was too late now. Maybe when they were still little we could have stopped. But now, if any of them got sick and they weren't healed soon enough, it could be fatal. They were like newborns in a way. They were healing them as babies but it was amped up since Alek.

Now with Aleksi sick, Adrian had left to go heal her. I was scared the same as the rest of them. But I saw the purpose of letting them fight off colds and the flu. I sighed and looked out the window. Lissa was sitting by the pool, her hands on the side of the chair. I put my swimming trunks on and ran down the stairs, out the back door, and jumped into the pool. Lissa screamed and I smiled up at her.

Rose POV

I know you all think I'm nuts. Well I very well might be. After Alec died I was unstable. The first suicide attempt was real. The second was not. I couldn't look at the children without breaking down and remembering my little Alekzandre. I was somewhat angry that they looked like him. It wasn't fair to them. So I needed to leave. I must seem like a heartless bitch to most of you. I was doing what I thought was the opposite. I didn't want them to think I abandoned them and just went to live somewhere else. I didn't want them to come looking for me. I kept an eye on them through Lissa. I missed them terribly. It's been nine years since I saw them personally and I was getting ready to see them again. They would be mad. I knew they would. Especially Aleksi. She had my personality almost exactly. I held a grudge against my own mother for the longest time for abandoning me at the academy. She would probably hate me. They all thought I was dead. Killed myself over their brother. They thought I didn't love them. That wasn't true. I loved them to death. That's why I did it.

I walked out of my house in southern Indiana. I didn't live in a very big town. I got in my car and drove to Walmart. I needed a few things like groceries and such. I was headed to court in a few weeks and I had to be ready.

Okay okay. I know it's really short. But most of the chapters are gonna be this short until I get a good idea for the story. If you have one message me, review and give me an idea, or email me. My email should be on my profile. Review!
