LAST CHAPTER SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT MY WRITING STYLE WAS IMMATURE AND NOT MAKING MUCH SENSE. THIS IS THE FIRST FANFIC, STORY, ANYTHING THAT I'VE EVER WRITTEN AND I'M DOING AS GOOD OF A JOB AS I CAN, SORRY. I WANT ROSE TO SEEM IMMATURE STILL. I ALSO WANT HER TO BE A LITTLE INDECISIVE WHEN IT COMES TO DIMITRI. I PROMISE SHE WILL MATURE AS THE STORY GOES ON. HER PERSONALITY IS FRUSTRATING ME AT THE MOMENT TOO BUT I FEEL IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PLOT.

SOMEONE ALSO SAID THAT I SHOULD STOP CALLING THE BABY, KID. I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THAT. I FELT I WAS REPEATING BABY TOO MUCH SO I STARTED TO USE IT. THIS KIND OF GOES WITH WHAT I SAID BEFORE, AT THIS POINT IN THE STORY I THINK SHE WOULD USE KID BECAUSE OF HER IMMATURITY AND A LITTLE LESS THAN PROFESSIONAL VOCABUALRY. FROM NOW ON I'M GOING TO STICK WITH BABY AND CHILD WITH DIMITRI AND ONLY USE KID OCCASIONALLY, SPECIFICALLY WHEN SOMEONE IS BEING SARCASTIC.

HOPE YOU STILL LIKE THE STORY.

Christian, Lissa, my mother, and Dimitri were all in the dining room in Christian's house. Lissa greeted me first, followed by the rest of them. Christian stood up and offered me his chair. He went into the kitchen. I sat down, I knew all of them were staring at me and I felt embarrassed. Lissa grabbed my arm and spoke in a more serious tone.

"Do you feel better? You really need to eat. You haven't had any real food in days." I was hungry, but I didn't want to say anything. Christian came back with a stack of pancakes and a bowl of fruits. He put them in the middle of the table and then handed me a plate and utensils. I ignored Lissa's question, helped myself to some food, and ate in silence. I stood up and spoke to everyone at the table.

"I'm going to the gym." I didn't know where one would be, but I was sure I could find one. Dimitri shook his head.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? Your shoulder is still a little bruised and…" I didn't let him finish.

"I'll be fine. I just need to clear my head, and I'm not going to do anything with this arm it still hurts." My mother was the one to protest now.

"If it still hurts isn't that a reason to wait a while before you work out?" She was right but I wasn't going to let her know that.

"I'll be fine." I emphasized my words and left the kitchen. I went upstairs, grabbed the last pair of sweats I had in my suitcase, and changed into them. I put my hair up and put my shoes on. I went downstairs and saw Dimitri at the front door. Was he waiting for me? He had changed out of his pajamas as well. He was wearing some sweats and a t shirt instead of his usual duster ensemble. His hair was tied up with a few stray pieces as always. He was blocking the door.

"Excuse me comrade." He didn't move. "Please, I have to get out the door that you might not have noticed was right behind you." He still didn't move.

"I'm coming with you." I was a little surprised but considering what he was wearing I shouldn't have been.

"No, I'm going to work out and clear my head, not catch up with an old friend over a cup of tea." I knew he was going to come whether I wanted him to or not but I still argued.

"If I remember correctly, you graduated before I could give you your last month of training." Okay that hurt a little.

"Well then consider me skipping your final, because you're not my mentor anymore. I can train on my own." He looked at me a little frustrated.

"Look its either you go with me or you mother, because she isn't going to let you leave this house alone." I was surprised again. My mother actually cares about where I was. That's a first.

"Fine, but you better keep up." He gave me a half smile. And opened the door for me.

I took out my phone and started to look for a gym on the court's website. Dimitri started to jog without me. I decided to just follow him.

"Oh Roza, do you really think this is the first time I've been to the gym since I got here." I had forgotten he was here for a few weeks before I was.

"No, I just didn't really think about you." That sounded mean. "Wait, I meant, sorry, I just…" He cut me of chuckling a little.

"I know what you meant." About ten minutes later we got to a building that wasn't very fancy like most of the courts buildings. This was probably, a gym for only guardians to train in and not one for rich royals to sit in drinking liquefied vegetables and call yoga a 'workout'.

I sat on the bench beside the front door. I took a big drink from the water bottle I brought and wiped my forehead. Dimitri looked at me and laughed to himself.

I glared at him but he kept smiling. "Did you work out at all after I left?" He didn't mean it in a hurtful he just wanted to know. After the attack didn't train that much. When Dimitri left I stopped training and didn't leave my room much either. I never realized how out of shape I had gotten.

"So what, that's why I came here today."

"You can't train hard though. I was looking up some stuff online last night and over exerting yourself like you used to, isn't good for the baby." He did research last night, so that meant he probably knew more than me. I didn't even know anything from biology because I was gone the year I was supposed to take that class. My knowledge was pretty limited and I had just assumed a trip to the clinic would answer all my questions. I was curious to see what he knew.

"Wait, you did research?"

"I helped my mother with my sisters but I didn't do much when they were babies or while she was pregnant. So I went online last night and read some articles about it. I just want to know what happening so I can help you."

"Thank you." I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say but he was showing me that he cared whether he knew it or not and I appreciated that. He offered his hand and I stood up.

"We only have about an hour before we have to go home and get ready for the ceremony tonight."

We went inside and we walked over to a punching bag that was hanging from the ceiling in the corner of the room.

"Alright, Rose, after what you did to my arm with a screw driver I know your staking must still be okay but what about you're kicking." I kicked the punching bag and to my horror it barely moved. It was like Dimitri had read my mind "These weight more than the ones at the academy, but you have lost your form. You need to draw more power from your hip." I don't know why I was following his instructions, but I did what he said and landed the kick. It felt more powerful and the punching bag swing on its chain confirmed that.

"Alright comrade you give great advice and all, but you don't have to be my mentor anymore." He looked at me.

"I don't have to but I want to. I'm not leaving you to fend for yourself ever again." He emphasized the last few words. He wasn't lying, he was very sure of himself. "Now, come on Roza show me what you've got." I spent the next ten minute relearning and perfecting my kicks.

"Wait I need a break." I sat down and took a long drink from my bottle. Dimitri sat next to me.

"You did a great job but we should get back to the house." I looked at my phone, we still had twenty minutes before we had to leave.

"We still have a while before we have to leave."

"I know but you've done a lot for your first day back, and remember what I told you earlier you can't work yourself to hard." I sighed.

"I'm fine." He didn't seem convinced.

"How about a set of lines before we leave. He pointed to the other side of the gym that had and empty basketball court on it.

"One set and then you're done." I began to stand up but I fell back into my chair. The pain in my head was back and my vision started to look cloudy. Dimitri looked at me with a scared expression. I took another drink of my water and tried to stand up again but, I just fell into my chair again. My vision was starting to fade.

I felt darkness pouring through the bond and it was cutting out my own senses. Lissa was angry, no she was furious but at what. All of her emotions were streaming into me but I could get into her mind I didn't know what wrong with her. I tried to focus on Dimitri, he was kneeling in front of me and he looked terrified. I didn't notice I was crying until Dimitri wipe the tears away with his thumb. I started to scream and I couldn't stop myself, the darkness was making me spin out of control.

"LISSA, WHERE ARE YOU! LISSA, STOP IT, LISSA, LISSA! WHATS WRONG!" Dimitri picked me up quickly started walking out of the gym. I was struggling to break free even though I didn't think that would accomplish much. I want to do something to make it stop, but kept screaming. "DARKNESS, LISSA ITS DARKNESS, LISSA STOP IT."

I felt the darkness blurring my vision and muffling my hearing. I wanted to stop the pain Lissa was feeling, that I was feeling, but I didn't know what was wrong. I tried to focus on Lissa's mind but her anger and rage kept pushing me out and making my hysterical fit even worse.
