Thank you again for the support guys! I realy enjoy reading reviews. They make my day.

Here is chapter 3


Dimitri

"She resurrected me?" Rose asked me. I could tell she was waiting for me to tell her I was joking. I wished I were.

"This isn't the first time." I told her and her eyes widened questioningly. "You died before. When you and Lissa were younger, her parents, older brother, and you died in a car accident. Lissa brought you back." Talking about Rose dying nearly killed me. "The second time you died was when you stepped in front of a bullet that was going to hit Lissa. It hit you in the heart and you died. Somehow, you healed yourself, and came back again."

"I died three times?" Rose gave me a look like I was crazy. It was so much like her, yet she didn't remember anything. She didn't remember me…

"Okay," Rose went on. "What happened in there? I was in Lissa. In her mind."

"That's part of the bond."

"Lissa said something about that," Rose thought back. "About us being bonded?"

"Yes," I never once thought I would be explaining this to her. She has once been the one explaining Spirit and the bond to me. "When a spirit user brings someone back to life, that person bonded to them and becomes Shadowkissed."

"Shadowkissed?" Rose was curious, and had to know all the answers, just like before. She was still there, she had to be. I at least owed it to her to try to find her somewhere in there. She did the same for me.

"Shadowkissed is a fancy way of saying you died. When you died you were in the world of the dead, but Lissa bringing you back took you away from there. You will always have a link to the world of the dead, and Spirit users say they can see shadows in your aura." I tried to form the words in a way that wouldn't scare her. "Jill is Shadowkissed too, she's bonded to Adrian."

As I watched Rose think through everything it pulled at my heart. My Roza couldn't remember me. Was this how she felt when I was a strigoi?


Lissa

I don't understand. I thought I healed her. She should be back to normal.

I messed up, and now my best friend wasn't there.

She had always been there for me. She had fought to protect me since as long as I can remember. She even died for me, twice. I should have been the one to die. If I had, Rose would still be herself. It doesn't even matter that I'm the queen. There were better people out there. They could take my place…

Rose ,what am I going to do without you?


Rose

Rose, what am I going to do without you? I heard Lissa's voice.

"Lissa?" I asked aloud. Maybe Lissa had come out into the hall and I hadn't noticed.

"Is she okay?" Dimitri suddenly became alert.

"How am I supposed to know?" I asked him.

"You can reach out and feel her." Dimitri told me. "Try it. Just open yourself up to her." I've heard plenty of crazy things today, why should this be any different?

I closed my eyes and took a breath. I thought about Lissa. How she was leaning over me when I opened my eyes. Now I know she actually brought me back to life. She looked so relieved when I opened my eyes. She was some type of angel.

The next thing I knew I was curled up on the bed in the hotel room. No, this was Lissa. I was in her head.

Lissa was lying on the bed. Her eyes felt puffy and her cheeks were raw from where the tears had dried. She wasn't crying anymore which was good, but she was still upset. I could feel the hurt. It was almost as if she hurt so much that crying no longer worked.

Her thoughts floated around and it was hard to get a grasp on any of them. I did catch wisps though. All of the wisps had me in them, or well, the Rose she knew.

I could feel her pain. And it was all because of me. All because I didn't remember anything that the others thought I should. Even if I didn't know any of them, I didn't want to hurt them.

"Rose?" Dimitri's voice pulled me back to myself and I saw him leaning forward with a concerned look. His hand was on my shoulder. "Is everything okay?" He asked me before he wiped a tear from my cheek with his other hand.

"She's hurting because I can remember anything," I told him. His eyes softened as he looked at me. Were Rose and him friends? I don't know. I didn't know anything. Dimitri knew everything though. He could help me. "Will you help me remember? So I can make her pain stop?"

"Of course Roza," He wiped another tear away from my cheek.


Eddie

Christian was sitting next to Lissa on the bed. She had stopped crying but obviously, she wasn't okay. Christian looked so helpless as he stroked her hair away from her face.

Christian might come off abrasive to some people, but he was a good guy. I might not remember much of what happened in Spokane, but I did remember seeing him and Rose at the strip mall before we were captured. Both of them had been worried about us.

Thinking of that brought back the memories of losing Mason. No, I can't think about that right now. There are more serious things to think about right now, but what would Mason do if he was here?

The door to the hotel room opened beside me. Dimitri came in followed by Rose. A part of me hoped to see happiness on his face, like he had managed to get Rose to remember, but he had the same stoic look. Rose's eyebrows were furrowed as if she was deep in thought, There was a determined look in her eyes. That look reminded me of the old Rose. Always fighting, even if she didn't remember anything.

Dimitri gave Rose an encouraging look and Rose walked over to the bed where Lissa and Christian were. Christian looked at her with curiosity, obviously hoping the same thing all of us were.

"Can I talk to her?" Rose asked and Christian hesitantly got off the bed so Rose could take his place. I quickly looked around the room, and everyone had curious expressions on their faces. "Lissa," Rose began.

"Rose?" Lissa's eyes found Rose and tears started to escape again. "I'm sorry Rose; I shouldn't have let you die for me. My magic doesn't work anymore." Rose was struggling, but I don't think Lissa saw it.

"Liss," Rose used her nickname for Lissa, but I don't think it was because she had remembered. "It's not your fault. Your… your magic worked. I'm alive. And I'm going to try to remember who Rose was." Lissa sat up and put her arms around Rose. Rose awkwardly patted her back and Lissa cried into her shoulder.

Rose looked over to the rest of us. There wasn't recognition in her brown eyes, but there was strength. The same strength she always had. No matter what chaos she faced, she was always strong, always brave. This was just another chaotic thing to face. I had faith that she would be to come out of this, it just might take a while.


Thanks for reading and please review! I'll update when I get some more reviews, until then, Happy reading.
