Chapter 23

Rose pov

They all stared at me like they didn't believe me. Only Adrian knew that what I was saying was the truth. It took a while before someone actually spoke up. And that person was Dimitri. "Babe, are you sure that you're okay?"

I nodded. "Of course I'm okay. I'm better than okay. I'm ecstatic."

Dimitri turned me around and looked into my eyes. "Rose, you're acting really strange. Whatever it is that you're going through, you know that we all will help." He looked at everybody. "Right guys?"

There was a collective 'yes.'

"I wouldn't be me if I wasn't strange. But you guys don't get it. Adrian, tell them." I looked at him expectantly.

"It's true," he agreed. "I heard the whole story when she took me to Dr. Olendzki's office and told her. She remembers some things clearly, but others are a complete blur."

I nodded. They all still looked skeptical, so I told them all the same story I told Adrian and Dr. Olendzki. When I finished, they all had their eyes wide.

"Rose?" Eddie asked. "Are you sure that's why?"

"I'm positive," I said. "When Lissa had told me the story and I had passed out, I think I started recollecting all of the events that had happened to me from the time I was born to the time that I first started having the amnesia."

"Let me get this straight," Christian said. "You remember things from when you were born?"

I nodded. "Some things."

"Like?"

"Things you're not going to find out," I said darkly.

Christian flinched like I was going to hit him or something.

"Same old Rose," Lissa and Mia said in union, laughing.

Dimitri's phone rang. "Hello?...She's right here…Yes, ma'am. Right away."

I looked at him for an explanation as soon as he hung up with whoever he was on the phone with.

"Lissa," Dimitri said, "I am to take you to Headmistress Kirova's office immediately."

Lissa nodded. She kissed Christian goodbye and left with Dimitri.

A few minutes later, I told them that I had to go to the bathroom. Eddie pointed out where it was. What they didn't know was that I wasn't actually going to use the bathroom. What I was going to do was go into Lissa's mind, just as before. I didn't know what to do, so all I did was concentrate on reading Lissa's mind. It was kind of like meditating.

I sat on the toilet seat and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath. Think of Lissa, I thought to myself. You want Lissa. Nothing else. Just Lissa. I thought this over and over again.

It took a few minutes, but I got in. They were almost to Headmistress Kirova's office. They were talking about something that I had missed the first part of.

"Do you think it will work?" Lissa asked Dimitri.

"I hope it does," he told her. "If it doesn't, then I don't know what will."

Lissa just nodded, not saying anything more.

They had gotten to Headmistress Kirova's office and Dimitri knocked on the door.

"Come in," a voice called.

They both walked in.

"Have a seat," Headmistress Kirova said to both of them. She honestly looked a bit worried.

"Do either of you have any idea on how Rose is doing?" Headmistress asked, straight-faced.

Lissa took a breath, but before she could say anything, Dimitri said, "She remembers some things, but not a lot."

"What things does she remember?" she asked.

Dimitri recollected everything to Headmistress Kirova that Adrian had told him, along with what he found out from Rose at Adrian's. Lissa added in her own thoughts, ideas and parts of the story as well.

"Wow," Headmistress stated, "that's a lot to take in at one time."

"We know," Dimitri and Lissa said in unison.

"Do you think-" Headmistress was interrupted by a door banging open.

"Where is he?" a male voice boomed from behind Lissa.

Who do you think the guy is? Tell me in a review.
