This is what Rose has been waiting for since, well it seems like forever.

I hope y'all like this chapter, and I've been trying to work on the next chapter,

but it's hard when I have writers block and just can't think.

So if you don't like this chapter, it's because of writers block,

I've had it for a while, but I hope it doesn't last much longer,

because I have a few things in mind.

Please Read & Respond...

Back – 39

Lissa screamed as Oksana plunged the stake into her chest. Light plunged from the wound as Oksana kept pushing the stake further and further in until she couldn't anymore, blinding everyone instantly. Tears starting welling up in my eyes as I continued to listen to Lissa scream in agony. It made me want to push Oksana off of her and help her, but I knew what we were doing was the right thing to do, Lissa had to go back to normal, it's just so sad to hear her in this much pain.

The light was blinding me so bad, and when I thought that I couldn't take it anymore, it was gone as sudden as it had started. I looked up to find Oksana pasted out on the floor right beside an unconscious Lissa. Nobody had burn marks this time, since Lissa was actually chained up so Christian didn't have to use fire, which was good for Oksana.

I was going to rush to Lissa, check if she was okay, but Christian beat me to her. So I just laid there, waiting for her to move. I know this is what we've all been wanting, to get her back to normal, but it's still odd to see it actually done. To see her lying there, not moving, but knowing that she's okay.

As I slowly made my way over to Lissa and Oksana to check if they were okay, Oksana started moving and Adrian was at her side in an instant. He hovered over her, checking for any sort of injury, but she said she was fine, except for a few spots with really dark bruises where Lissa had kicked her. Adrian said he would heal her, even though he was still kind of learning on healing, but she said no, that she had had worse before.

When Oksana had convinced Adrian that she was okay, everyone moved around Lissa. Dimitri eventually took her upstairs to a bed so she would be more comfortable when she woke, and then we all sat in the living room, waiting nervously for her to wake.

"Would anyone like some more tea?" Oksana asked. We had been waiting for Lissa to wake up all evening, but nothing. It had been six hours now, and everyone was starting to get worried that she was hurt more than we thought. Adrian had tried to heal her a few times. He said he felt the spirit flow into her, but nothing changed, except every time after he got done, he said he felt drained of energy, like she was taking in everything he gave her, but it just went start through her, doing nothing at all.

Everyone was trying to act like none of this affected us, but inside, everyone knew that everyone else was freaking out. Lissa hadn't made any sign of being okay, other than the rise and fall of her chest that showed that she was breathing.

"Yeah," Dimitri answered Oksana, "I'd like some more tea please." She refilled his cup and then went back to the kitchen to make more.

"Do you think she'll ever wake up?" Christian asked out loud.

"Yeah, I guess her body is just reacting different," I answered. "But she should wake up soon, hopefully." I didn't know for sure if that was true, but all we could do was hope.

We left Lissa in Oksana's guest room where Dimitri and I had slept the night before and everyone else went back to the hotel for the night. Dimitri and I had stayed just in case Lissa came around. So we made up an air mattress in Oksana's living room. It took me forever to go to sleep, but when I finally did, I dreamed of how Lissa and I use to be, just the two of us, hanging out and talking about anything and everything, which means, boys.

After a while in my dream, it all changed to how things are now, well kind of. Lissa was with Christian at their wedding, and I was with Dimitri, with a big, fat belly. Man, is that really how I'm going to look? So fat that I can hardly stand? My feet so large they look like watermelons? Gosh, nobody ever tells you how much you'll look like crap when you're pregnant. They just talk about the glow that pregnancy brings. Well that is definitely bull crap.

The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed, or well, mattress. I didn't open my eyes until I reached out and searched for Dimitri. I wanted someone to hug onto to, to cuddle up to. But he wasn't there. So I sat up fast, turning my head to look around, but then I had to lay back down when my head started hurting.

"Whoo," I hear Mark say as he came down the stairs. "Don't move so fast, you'll get sick."

"I'm fine," I grumbled.

"You don't look it. You look kind of pale."

"I said I'm fine," I said loudly, maybe a little too loud because then Oksana came down the stairs and Dimitri came out of the restroom with nothing on but a towel around his waist. "Sorry," I mumbled as I turned on my side and threw the blanket over me. Even though I couldn't see them, I knew they were all still looking at me. What can I say, I just don't do mornings.

"What's with all the yelling?" I hear a soft familiar voice ask. I threw the blanket off of me and jumped up so fast that I didn't even see the end table in front of me until I ran right smack into it. I went down, grabbing my knee and screaming in pain as Dimitri ran to me. But I tried to push him away as I turned to the voice and smiled, with a few tears running down my face.

"Lissa," I whispered as Dimitri wrapped me in his arms and sat me back on the bed, checking out my knee. She ran to me, missing the end table, and hugged me and Dimitri, since Dimitri wasn't going to let me go. "I've missed you so much Liss."

"I've missed you so much too Rose," Lissa said through tears. I hugged her back, wishing I could never let her go. I don't want anything to ever to happen to her again. We stayed like that for a while, Lissa and me just lying on the bed. After a while, we finally got up to eat. But when I tried to get up, I had to grab ahold of the end table before I almost fell. Dimitri of course came running to me and caught me.

"Is it your knee?" he asked, with an ice pack in his hand.

"I don't think so. It feels fine. It's my head." I shut my eyes real tight, shutting out the light, and grabbed my head.

"Maybe it's time to take your medicine the doctor gave you."

"I don't know. He didn't really say how we'll know. He just said at three months to start taking them." I grabbed my head again as the pain grew stronger and stronger. I kept my eyes shut tight, but light was still coming through, blinding me even though the light was that bright. Dimitri told Oksana to turn the lights off, and when she did, it didn't do anything to help me. It didn't even seem like she turned them off. "I think it's just a migraine, a really bad migraine."

"Migraines aren't this bad," Lissa said. "Maybe I should heal her."

"No, you can't Liss," I said as she started to walk to me. "You just got better. You're not even strong enough."

"I don't care Rose. You're hurt."

"It's just a headache. It probably won't even help anyways Liss, and you know that."

"But I could try."

"No, it'll just drain you." Lissa didn't say anything after that; I guess she finally got the idea that I didn't want her help right now, or at least not like that. So she ended up just getting a cold, wet towel for my eyes as Dimitri got me to lie down. He also got me to take one of my pills, which were totally gross.

"Now you've got to rest Rose," Dimitri said, pulling the blankets up and tucking me in like a little child. Even though I just woke up, which usually I would argue about, I was already tired, so I did what I was told. And it didn't even take me very long at all to fall asleep; it felt like I was out in just a few seconds.

When woke back up, I heard everyone talking about how excited they were to have Lissa back to normal. I opened my eyes a little, a little worried that the light might still hurt my eyes, and when it didn't, I opened them all the way, smiling to see Lissa snuggled up to Christian on the couch. Adrian noticed that I was awake and came rushing over with a cold glass of ice water. I took it from him, sitting up and removing the cold, wet towel that was on my head.

"Do you feel any better?" Adrian asked, sitting right beside me.

"Yeah, much," I replied, finishing the water off. "My head doesn't even hurt anymore."

"What do you think it was?" Lissa asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's just all the stress building up. I guess it finally took over when I started getting worried that you'd never wake up." I smiled up at Lissa, happy to see her happy face back to normal, no more of that weird red eyed stuff that freaked me out.

"I don't know either," Dimitri said, coming in from the kitchen with some sandwiches. "I'm just glad you're okay. You had me worried there." I smiled at him, loving how much he cared about me.

"He wasn't the only one worried," Adrian whispered, squeezing my arm. He smiled at me, letting me know he still cared, even after I broke his heart. And since I knew that he knew that we would never be together, I smiled back at him and leaned my head on his shoulder, letting him hug me. I didn't even check if Dimitri liked this or not, he knew I loved him with all my heart, and that I just wanted Adrian to be happy again. If Dimitri really didn't like it, he didn't say so or do anything. He just walked around, giving everyone a sandwich, saving me for last as he sat down beside me. I took one from him, not leaving Adrian's embrace, liking the warm, loving feeling. Lissa eyed me, and then Dimitri, and then back to me, hoping there wasn't something wrong going on between us. I just smiled at her and closed my eyes, slowly eating my sandwich.

I hope you liked the chapter, Yeah Lissa is back.

I'll try to to update faster next time, please review...
