The third time Rose came back to life, she felt a whole lot worse.
She shot up with a large gasp of air, eyes snapping open and her whole body lifting off of the chair briefly, or as much as it could. Glancing around briefly, Rose observed that the still unidentified abductors were stood in the kitchen, far enough away that the twins would be able to have a conversation without them hearing, as long as they weren't too loud.
"Rose!" Ben exclaimed in relief. Even though Rose physically couldn't die, Ben had always worried that she may not wake up.
"Oh, you're awake thank god." Klaus stumbled over his words and when Rose squinted up at him, she noted just how rough he looked. He was drenched in sweat like he was hot but visibly shaking like he was cold. "It- it's taking longer for you to wake up each time. Why- why is that?"
"Every time you're killed, you need time to heal. Usually a minute or two before you come back but even then you need rest, sleep and hours of it." Ben began to explain from his place in front of them. As kids, he had always helped her try to understand her abilities so it made sense that he knew what was going on. "You were killed by a shot to the head which usually takes longer to recover from anyway. But, then you were forced into action and killed again, less than five minutes later. Your body used that time to heal so it took a little longer. You were killed again without proper rest so your body is dangerously weak and you're going to need a long time to recover, hence why your still bleeding and your bruises haven't healed." Rose nodded at him in a silent thank you and flashed him a sweet smile of reassurance.
"Benrino the encyclopaedia." Klaus laughed shakily and Rose chuckled slightly, speaking her first words since she had been resurrected.
"That's my Ben." She laughed.
Their sweet and peaceful moment was interrupted by somebody speaking rapidly in a different language, it sounded as though they were praying. Rose's ears were fuzzy and her eyesight was blurry so she had ignored the noise for a good few minutes but it was beginning to bring on a dull throbbing in the base of her skull.
"What the hell is that noise?" She groaned, screwing her eyes shut.
"Some dead babushka." Klaus grimaced, shaking his head in annoyance, "She's standing by the window-" He cut himself off when a violent shiver shook through his whole body.
"Withdrawal. It's starting now, isn't it? It must be. Otherwise, you wouldn't see her." Ben realised, smart as usual.
"Whoever she is, she's driving me crazy. The bitch won't shut up!" Klaus yelled the last part of his sentence a little too loudly and managed to catch the criminals' attention.
