D POV

Even though we were obviously speeding, it felt like it took us years to get to the restaurant, even thought in only took about ten minutes. When we got there I could tell that the fight was over, bodies lay scattered across the ground, there was only one guardian left standing, he was in front of Abe Mazur. The other guardian was on the ground, apart of the group of bodies. I could also see that Roza was also laying still on the ground. No! Oh god no, please, I can't be too late! She can't be dead! I ran up to her body along with her mother. As I looked down at her I could see a puddle on blood surrounding her head. I quickly felt her neck for her pulse, after a few moments I felt it. I let out a breath of air that I didn't know I was holding. Her breathing was shallow, but she was still alive-for now. I could feel the blood mated in with her hair as I ran my fingers through it. If only I got here sooner, if only I had stopped her from leaving with Zemy, she would be okay. Now I had no idea if she was going to be okay. She had a head wound, and it was bad. I looked up at the other guardian. "What happened?"

"We were walking back from the restaurant when five strigoi attacked. Two on me and Two on guardian Aaron," He pointed to where the other guardian lay unconscious on the ground. "One went after Hathaway, she killed her, but not before the strigoi managed to hit her head against the ground." I nodded my head. We need to get them to the academy ASAP. I gently picked Roza up from the ground and got back into the van laying her down in the back seat with me, her head resting on my lap. It the short ride to the academy she hadn't even made a single movement. It worried me to no end. When we reached St. Vladimir's I carried her to the infirmary with her mother following closely by my side. When I got in they were already prepared and had a bed waiting for her. I set her down in her room and left, hoping that the doctor would soon come out of the room to tell me that all would be okay. What if she wakes up and she has amnesia? What if she doesn't remember who you are? I closed my eyes and breathed in deeply. I couldn't think like that. Roza would wake up, and she would remember me, because she had to. I needed her.

After about an hour or so the doctor came out. Both Janine and I stood up in hopes of hearing some good news about Rose.

"So, it appears she has a couple broken ribs and a bad head injury, we have stopped the bleeding from her head, however, we don't know the extent of her injury until she wakes up."

"How long until she will wake up?" Asked Janine.

"We have no idea, but the both of you can now go and see her."

R POV

I could hear beeping, it was rather annoying. I groaned in protest to the annoying sound. "Roza?" I heard. I would know that voice anywhere, it was Dimitri, and he sounded so worried-worried for me. "Roza, please wake up. I need you to wake up. I love you." I tired to open my eyes. It felt like they were being weighed down, but eventually I opened them. I was met with bright lights and bright white walls surrounding me, so bright that I had to close my eyes again. "Roza, please open your eyes." I groaned again but listened. I opened my eyes and gave them time to adjust. Finally, I could look around the room I was in, but the only thing I was interested in was Dimitri. He was sitting in a chair beside my bed, I could tell that he hadn't gotten much sleep and I could see how worried he was. "Oh god Roza, I was so worried, how are you? Do you remember everything?" Just as I was about to answer when the doctor came in.

"Oh good Rosemarie, you're awake! You gave us all quite the scare. How are you feeling?"

"Um, my head and ribs hurt."

"Yes well you do have a couple broken ribs along with a very sever head injury. It's common after these kind of injuries that you might not remember everything so I'm just going to ask you a series of question for you to answer, okay?"

"Got it."

"What is your full name?"

"Rosemarie Hathaway."

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"Where do you go to school?"

"St. Vladimir's academy."

"Do you know who this is?" She pointed to Dimitri. Even though he had his guardian mask up I could detect a hint of worry and concern in his dark brown eyes. Concern for me, worry that I might not know who he is-who he really is, aka the love of my life. But I knew that no matter what happened to me I could never forget Dimitri.

"Guardian Belikov, my mentor." I looked away from him and back at the doctor.

"Okay well then I'll let you get some rest and come to check on you later." Once the doctor left I turned back to Dimitri.

"Do you know who I really am?" He asked softly. I never had heard Dimitri sound so venerable, and it worried me. Because I knew for him to be this freaked out then I must have to been in really bad shape.

"Or course Comrade," I smiled up at him and I reached out and grabbed his hand. "I could never forget." I could see him visibly relax. He looked over at the door before softly pressing his lips against mine. When he pulled away he also let go of my hand.

"You scared me Roza, when I got to you, you were unconscious, laying on the ground with a puddle of your own blood around your head. I thought-I thought for a moment you weren't going to make it. That is, until Vasalisa came in and did what she could to heal you, but even then…" He trailed off.

"Dimitri, I'm not going anywhere. You can count on that." He nodded and gave me a small smile.

"Your mother was here, along with Abe Mazur at one point, and of course all your friends. They have been taking shifts to be with you."

"Wait- how long was I out for?"

"Two days."

"Well, I can see why you were worried. I'm sorry Comrade."

"You have nothing to be sorry for, you did your best. In fact, I heard you killed a strigoi." I thought back to the attack.

"Yeah, I did." I paused to try and remember what I could from the fight. "Was anyone else hurt?" Dimitri nodded.

"Guardian Aaron was bitten, he suffered from blood loss, but he's okay now."

"Well that's good." Right then the door opened and Lissa walked in.

"Oh my god Rose I was so worried! How are you? How do you feel?"

"I feel okay, not the best, but I'll heal."

"Here, let me see if I can heal you. Last time I was lower on blood, but I just fed." I shook my head.

"Lissa, you don't have to."

"No, I don't, but I want to, I want you to get better." With that she placed one of her hands over my ribs and the other over my forehead. She closed her eyes and a look of deep concentration appeared on her face. I felt through the bond her magic flow from her and then into me. Instantly my ribs felt much better along with my head.

"Thank you, Lissa, I feel much better."

"Good." She sat down in the chair beside Dimitri, clearly very tired. I looked over at Dimitri.

"How about you go bring her to her room?" I could tell that he didn't want to leave me. "I'll be fine, I'm much better now that Lissa healed me." He sighed.

"Here Vasalisa, lets get you to your room. He stood up and helped her up, he walked out holding up a rather unstable Lissa by his side. I sighed and closed my eyes. God knew what would be in store for me these last few moths before graduation.
