Still running from the witch hunt... *breathing heavy* God...

Just to let you know after this chapter I won't update for a while cuz of my busy life.

But in order to celebrate the twentieth chapter, I want you guys to tell me what your favourite chapter was; favourite dramatic moment; favourite quote and most hated chapter!

Also guys, do you guys like to have – as they call them – "lemons" for when you know who do it? I'm a virgin myself so I don't know what it's like, but I can try and write one if you guys would like one.

Also in this chapter will be insight to a future storyline that I won't do until the Christmas special! Remember this story is set sometime in November time, so Christmas isn't that far away.

Well...I hope you enjoy...while you can

MWAHAHAHA!

Chapter Nineteen:

ABE'S POV

There was a loud crash which meant the elevator stopped, as well as Rose's screams. I stared blankly down the dark hole, still in shock at what had just happened. I remembered Rose's face before the lift dropped and her echoing screams.

"Boss," Jake said beside me. "We have to go to the ground floor of where the lifted stopped. She could be still alive."

I flinched at the word could. No, she had to be alive. She had to be.

I nodded and we both ran down the endless stairs to the ground floor.

We ran into the reputation where we saw the elevator before we split up and got to the hole.

And there she was.

The lift top was just above the doorway into the lift as the hole went a little bit lower so the lift could go there when it wasn't being used.

Rose looked lifeless. She was lying on top of the lift; it almost looked like she was asleep. But her skin was pale and I couldn't even tell if she was breathing. There was a line of blood coming from her nose which was as still as stone.

Jake quickly took action and went over to Rose and put his fingers on her neck.

He narrowed his eyebrows, "She's alive," I thought those were the best words that anyone ever said to me, until Jake continued. "Barely." He looked up to me, "We have to get her out of her and to the hospital at Court."

I nodded, he was about to pick Rose up, but I said, "Let me." I maybe a Moroi, but it didn't mean I was weak.

Jake nodded and said, "Be careful, she could have some broken bones."

I nodded and carefully picked up Rose in my arms.

God she looked like her mother. But her hair colour was too dark and she had my eyes. Every time I saw Rose I always thought of her mother. Sometimes I wanted to forget her, but Rose's mother's smile will always be trapped in my mind. And sometimes I got upset because she never got the chance to see Rose grow up. But I had and I had been selfish enough to not be there for Rose, like her mother would have wanted me too.

"Let's go," Jake said leading the way.

Soon enough we were at the van. I went to the back of the van where some of the other injured guardians were with Scott and an out cold Richard. As soon as Scott saw Rose in my arms, his face went pale.

"Rosie?" He whispered as I laid Rose down next to Richard in the van. I closed the van doors behind me and turned back round to see Scott kneeled down next to Rose with tears in his eyes.

"She promised me she would be fine..." Tears ran down my son's cheeks.

I wrapped an arm around him and said, "She will be. You know your sister. She's a fighter."

Scott then cried into my chest.

As soon as we got to Court, there were already doctors with rolling beds waiting for us. They put a cast around Rose's head and oxygen mask. They did the same to Richard and rolled them both to surgery. Me, Jake and Scott were in the waiting room. I was told to wait an hour before they told me of Rose's state. I was already panicking.

"Jake," I turned to him. "Take Scott back to Rose's apartment, and can you tell Rose's friends about what's happened."

Jake nodded.

"No!" Scott shouted, "I want to stay here! I want to stay!"

I kneeled down to Scott, "I know you do, but Rose would want you to rest."

Scott slowly nodded and went with Jake.

I started pacing and pacing in the waiting room. I must have been pacing for a half an hour, as Rose's boyfriend – Dimitri Belikov – came into the waiting room. His face expression looked pained and worried as well mixed with anger.

The moment he saw me his anger rose.

He walked over to me and asked, "Is it true."

I had to be honest, "Yes."

Then he punched me.

It wasn't a jaw breaking punch, but it was enough to leave a bruise. I put my hand on my left cheek where he punched me and looked at him in shock. But I also understood why he did it, I didn't look after Rose. I also blamed myself.

"Why did you let her go down there?" Dimitri shouted.

"I didn't, she jumped down there before I could stop her!" I shouted back.

He groaned and put his head in his hands before turning away from me.

"I'm sorry; I didn't want her to get hurt." I told him.

He looked back to me, "I know he whispered."

Then Lissa ran into the room, with a worried expression.

"Where is she?" She asked.

I sighed, "In surgery."

"How bad is it?" Lissa was crying.

"Bad." I replied.

"How's Rose?" I asked the doctor with Lissa and Dimitri closely behind me.

The doctor smiled, "She's fine, but she's got a bang on the head, a broken arm and a few broken ribs. But apart that she should be fine.

Lissa sat down on her seat, "Thank god."

"Can we see her?" Dimitri asked.

"Soon enough, we just got to put her into a room and then you can see her."

I smiled, "Thank you doctor."

ROSE'S POV

I woke up to a bright light in my eyes and a banging headache. I quickly realised I was at hospital room.

"Sleeping beauty awakens." I knew that sexy accent anywhere.

I turned to my right to see my sexy Russian god.

I gave him a small smile, "Hey," I choked, my throat dry.

He grabbed some water and held the cup while I drank from it.

Afterwards I tried to sit up but Dimitri stopped me.

"Careful." He told me.

I felt something on my arm and looked at my left to see my arm in a cast.

"Oh great, what else did I break?"

"Three ribs," He replied.

I sighed, "How long do I have to be in here?"

"As long as they say," He snapped.

I was taken aback, "Whoa, what's wrong."

He didn't look at me, "You lied."

"What do you mean?"

"You promised you weren't going to do anything stupid or reckless." He sounded upset.

I closed my eyes, "Dimitri...I'm sorry, but he's brother and I couldn't just leave him."

I saw a tear run down his cheek.

"Hey," I said as I put my hand on his cheek and made him look at me. "I'm fine."

"I know but-"

I cut him off with a kiss.

Well...I can stop running now.

Next chapter is the celebration of how many chapters I've done, so make sure you do what I asked you to do. Pretty please *puppy eyes*.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and did you figure out what the future storyline is going to be in this chapter?
