Rose's POV

I was encased in darkness so unbreakable that I was positive I had died. I was convinced my body couldn't take the return of my memories. They hadn't gracefully appeared, they'd slammed into my body with a force I couldn't fathom. I felt like I'd just impacted with a solid brick wall going hundreds of miles a second. The only reason I knew I hadn't died was the fact that I could still feel my body. And it was aching. Every inch of my skin felt like it was being torn apart. Why? I had no idea. But I'd never experienced pain like this before. I'd take the heartbreak I'd felt when I thought Dimitri had died a hundred times before I'd want this. I almost willed death's claws to take me, at least then I would be at peace.

But…I was Rosemarie Hathaway.

I had a lot of things I had to do before I could allow myself to be taken from the world. Plus, I was a Guardian. That meant I had to have a heroic death, fighting off a powerful and ancient Strigoi, dying nobly in battle; not on a bridge because my memories decided to fight their way back inside my mind. I considered the possibility that the pain I felt was mental, not physical. My memories were probably just causing this. Another reason why I should have erased them; maybe this was my karmic punishment. I now had to suffer this immobilising pain to make up for the hurt and pain I'd caused Dimitri. Though I couldn't regret what I'd done. Before I'd erased Dimitri from my mind he didn't want me anymore. His love had faded, or so he claimed. All it took was me forgetting him for him to realise how stupid that decision had been. That's obviously not what I'd intended to happen, but it had. And I was glad.

Suddenly the darkness which I'd started to grow used to seemed to shimmer and change. Maybe I was finally waking up? No. Just as the thought entered my mind spirits began to materialize before me. I groaned internally. I'd always hated them, but at least I'd had slight control over them before. At first they drifted, their faces peaceful. But just as I began to relax their images shifted. Suddenly there was blood everywhere, and deadly screams. Their forms seemed to revert to the way they were when they had died. Hundreds of bodies swirled around me, making me feel like I was trapped inside a tornado of the undead.

I could feel the panic building inside my chest. They were too close. Their mouths were opened impossibly wide and they screeched and scream, turning my blood cold. My stomach twisted, making me feel sicker then I had been before. I tried to raise my arms to shield myself from them, but I couldn't move. They just grew closer, louder and more vivid. Through their screams I could hear murmuring. I assumed I was hearing Dimitri until the voice grew louder.

Cold breath fell on my cheek as one of the spirits whispers "Come with us."

More ghosts joined in, chanting come with us. Other continued to scream and when I began to feel their sticky and cold fingers on my skin I felt a hysterical scream tear from my own throat. They were everywhere, and I could feel them.

Lissa's POV

"It's not working." I groaned. I had been working with Adrian all day, trying to heal Rose. It seemed like she was in some sort of coma, yet there was nothing physically wrong with her, or mentally as far as we could tell. After we'd arrived at the Belikov's house Rose and Dimitri had been gone. Olena had graciously allowed us to wait for them and hours later when they had returned Dimitri carried Rose through the door, tears streaming down his face. He didn't know what had happened.

"We need more help." Adrian finally spoke, looking at Rose with concern. We'd placed her on a bed upstairs. Dimitri sat in a chair next to her while Adrian and I attempted to get her back. The only problem with our task was the fact that she was already there. She just wouldn't wake up.

"Who?" I exclaimed. My frustration was getting the best of me. I couldn't lose Rose. But I couldn't figure out how to get her back. How could you fix the something that wasn't even broken? "In case you didn't realise, Adrian, we know no one here, and-"

I stopped talking. Rose's body jerked. I'd seen it. Dimitri's face lit up slightly as he watched Rose intently, and both Adrian and Dimitri stood and moved to my side. We watched Rose with hopeful expressions on our face. Maybe she was finally waking up. I noticed beads of sweat forming on Rose's face and chest. Her breathing was getting heavier.

"Something's not right." I muttered. I could feel it in my bones.

"Rose?" Dimitri exclaimed, running to her side. Just as his hand reached out to touch her she let out a bloodcurdling scream. Her body barely moved, as if she couldn't make it, but she thrashed around as if trying to get something off her.

Olena barged into the room. Upon seeing Rose she crossed herself, muttering something in Russian. Tears formed in her eyes as she watched. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to fix this. Tears streamed down my face as I stood hopelessly by my best friend.

"Rose? Rose, please open your eyes." Dimitri whispered, tears flowing from his eyes. Adrian walked over to me, gripping my hand in his. I couldn't look at him. My eyes were glued on Rose. So was everyone else's.

"What about Oksana?" Adrian suddenly said.

"What about her?" I questioned, "We can't heal Rose. She won't be able to either."

"But Olena helped Rose get into your head once, remember? Maybe she can do that again. Maybe she can get in Rose's head and help her somehow." Adrian's voice was suddenly excited. Everyone turned to face him, our eyes shining with hope.

"I'll get her." Olena volunteers, giving us a small smile before she left.

"Thank you, Adrian." Dimitri said, picking up Rose's hand in hers and kissing it gently.

"I'd do anything for Rose." Adrian responded, a haunted expression in his eyes.

"I can create a bridge between your minds," Oksana explained, "So hopefully once I do that, you'll be able to communicate with Rose, like she did through me last time she was in Russia." I nodded. I remembered that night. I'd almost died and Rose had saved me from Avery and the two shadow-kissed guys she'd made.

"Okay," I nodded, "I'm ready." And I was. I wanted to help Rose for once. She was always the one helping everyone else. It was time I returned the favour.

Oksana wasted no time. Soon I could feel her invasive presence in my mind. And then I could feel her concentrating on Rose. As I began to close my eyes the room around me turned dark, and suddenly Rose materialized in front of me. I opened my mouth in shock. This was Rose's mind, and somehow I was standing in front of Rose.

She was sitting on the ground, though there was no ground here, just an endless sea of blackness. Her head was buried in her knees. She looked like she was trying to shield herself from something, but I couldn't see what that could be. Everywhere was just darkness. I carefully stepped forward, expecting to plummet downwards into the blackness. Instead my foot connected with the ground, and I quickly made my way to Rose's side.

"Rose," I said gently, placing my hand on her arm.

Her head whipped up and I noticed with shock that her face was stained with tears. She glanced at me as if she couldn't comprehend that I was actually in front of her. It was disconcerting seeing her look so forlorn.

"Lissa?" Her voice croaked, "How are you here?"

"Olena." I replied, sitting down in front of her. I grabbed her hands; they felt like ice. "She helped create a bridge between our minds."

"So that's where I am?" She replied, glancing around. "My mind is so dark." She let out an unamused laughed, then glanced back at me. "I guess I should have expected it to look like this. It's the darkness that will one day make me go mad."

"I tried healing you." I said, looking around. "If you're really trapped inside your mind, maybe that's why it didn't work. I was healing your body."

"My memories are all back Liss." Rose sighed. "I think that's why I'm trapped. It was too much at once."

"Maybe." I sighed. I closed my eyes, focusing on my spirit. I sent it into Rose, carefully at first, but then more. I was sitting in front of Rose, but this wasn't her; she was back with Oksana, Dimitri and Adrian. I was with her mind. And I had to heal it; otherwise she would stay locked here forever.

"Ow, stop it." Rose attempted to pull away, but I kept a firm hold on her hands. She must be weaker in her mind. "That hurts." She accused.

Nothing she said would stop me. I unleashed every last bit of spirit I had within me, and just when I thought that would be enough Adrian appeared beside me, looking confused. I knew immediately that Oksana had brought him here after seeing my struggle.

After seeing what I was doing Adrian sat next to me, combining his strengths with mine. The darkness below us turned a shade of grey, and then everything else began to appear brighter until the darkness was gone, leaving white in its place.

Rose glanced around, mouth open in shock.

And then suddenly the bridge Oksana had made collapsed, and I was back in the Belikov house with Adrian. I gaped at Oksana. She just gave me a small smile. I could see how tired she looked, and I was shocked to see the sun had set outside. She'd sat there for hours while we tried to heal Rose from inside her mind.

"Are you okay?" I asked immediately.

She just nodded, "Nothing some rest won't fix."

Rose let out a groan. All eyes flew to her and she glared at me, holding up her blistered, red hands. "You hurt my hands." She accused. We all breathed out a collective sigh of relief that she was okay.

"Oh, Roza." Dimitri chuckled, kissing her forehead.

I was going to make this chapter longer, but I must update this now so I can write another chapter for my other fanfiction story! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! :D REVIEW please! :D
