It was Wednesday at lunch that I started to feel sick. There was some sort of bug going around the school and unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky students to get it. Which was odd, since dhampire have very good immune systems. Eddie had started to get sick Monday morning and was now in the infirmary because it had gotten so bad, he looked like death. I was worried, not for myself, but for Eddie and everyone else getting sick, it wasn't common for a dhampire to get sick unless it was a serious problem. The doctors figured that it was just a very intense flu. I left my friends to go to the infirmary to see if there was any medication I could get now so I didn't end up like Eddie. As I walked in I saw Dimitri at the front desk handing the lady sitting down behind it some papers. He turned around to leave, as he was about to go he stopped once he saw me. "Rose, are you here to visit Eddie?"

"No, I'm here to see if there in any medication I can pick up. I think I'm getting the beginning of that flu everyone has."

"How do you feel?"

"Honestly, like shit. I can barley eat and I constantly feel like I'm going to throw up." He walked me over to a near by chair.

"I'll go get a doctor." With that he left. I could tell that he was upset and worried that I was getting sick. So far everyone that has gotten the flu is either in the infirmary or slowly getting worse and worse to the point were it's just a matter of time until they must stay in the infirmary twenty-four-seven. After a few minutes of waiting Dimitri returned with a doctor following closely behind him.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, I'm doctor Grafton. I hear that you are here because you believe you are starting to get the flu that has been going around?" Asks the doctor.

"Yes, I don't feel very well at all."

"Okay, well I'll just lead you to a room around the corner and we can do some tests and hopefully start you on some medication." I nodded my head and stood to follow him. Dimitri stayed back in the waiting room. Once inside the quite bland room I sat on the bed while the doctor listened to my heart beat and took my blood pressure along with some other tests. All the while staying silent. Once he was done he wrote something on his chart and then looked back up at me. "So, it appears you do have the flue, I know that you said that you feel pretty awful, but luckily you came here very quickly. The bug starts off very bad and just gets worse by the hour. We will start you on multiple medication that you will need to take three times a day each. If you don't start to feel better by tomorrow evening, then come back. I nodded my head. He walked over to a cupboard and pulled out three different pill bottles. "These will be the pills that you have to take for a while, I do hope you get better Rosemarie, I have high hopes since we caught it so early. However you should stay in your room and rest. No classes and no training until this medication starts to kick in."

"Thank you doctor." I walked out of the room and back into the waiting room where I saw Dimitri sitting down. "Hey Comrade, want to head out?" He nodded his head and we walked out of the infirmary together. The bell rang a few minutes ago, signaling that classes would start so we walked to my room knowing that there wouldn't be anyone in the hallways to see us. Once inside I sat down on my bed with Dimitri beside me.

"What did the doctor say?" He asked as he put his arm around me.

"That I have the flu that's been going around, I can't go to classes or training until the medication that he gave me starts to work." I said holding up the three pill bottles that he gave me.

"I really hope you don't end up like the other student in the infirmary."

"Yeah, me too." He kissed my forehead gently but pulled back with a frown.

"Your forehead is hot, you have a fever." I shrugged my shoulders, there wasn't much we could do about that.

"Hopefully the meds do their job quickly." He nodded as he gently pushed me down into the bed.

"You should get some rest Roza, sleep is the best thing for you right now. I'll check on you at around dinner to bring you something to eat."

"Awe Comrade, you're too good to me, thank you."

"It's not a problem Roza, I like taking care of the woman I love." I smiled up at him and kissed his cheek.

"I love getting taken care of by the man I love. I'll see you later, Comrade." I said as I snuggled tighter into the thick blankets. He closed the door softly. Soon, sleep came for me and I welcomed in with open arms.

When I woke, I looked over at my clock. It was nine in the moroi night. Beside my clock was a brown paper bag. I picked it up and opened in to find a wrapped-up sandwich inside along with a note. I pulled out the note first. It read; I came by at dinner time but you were sleeping, I didn't wake you because I know you need your sleep. You might not have much of an appetite, but please try and eat what you can. Text me when you wake up and read this and I'll try to come and check on you.

I smiled. I seriously had the best boyfriend in the world. I grabbed my phone and texted Dimitri to let him know that I had woken up and that I appreciated the food and note, but that it was late and that he could check on me in the morning. He replied with. I'm glad you like it. I'm on my way. Don't forget to take your medication. I rolled my eyes, I should have known that no matter the time Dimitri would end up coming to check on me. It was just the kind of person he is. I grabbed all three pills and quickly downed them with some water. The sleep I got didn't help too much but hopefully I would soon get better. I heard a soft knock on my door before Dimitri walked in. "Hey Comrade."

"Hello Roza, how are you feeling?"

"The same as before."

"Well, try and eat, maybe that will help." I nodded and took a bite of my sandwich. I managed to eat half of it before it got too much for me.

"That's all I can eat Comrade." He nodded, I could see him frown and knit his brows together in worry.

"I need you to get better Milaya, I don't like seeing you like this."

"I know Comrade, and I'm sorry you do. But hopefully since I came in so soon the meds and extra sleep will start to work its magic."

"I sure hope so."

D POV

I was worried about Roza. This evening I heard that one of the moroi flat lined in the infirmary today because of this damn flu. I couldn't let that happen to Roza, yet there was nothing I could really do to help her, which just infuriated me. When she walked in to the infirmary today looking slightly pale I knew why she was there, I just didn't want to believe it. This flu, or whatever it was, was nothing like before. It hit fast and hard. You had no idea what was happening until all of the sudden you're in the infirmary on your death bed. After a while of talking with Roza she fell asleep once again. I gently kissed her before leaving her too sleep. The stress about her well being was getting to me. So, I quietly left her room and made my way to the chapel, hoping that if I prayed enough, my Roza would get better.
