Chapter 17

Dimitri's POV

After the doctor had confirmed that Rose was in a coma, I walked out of the room to go tell the others.

When I got out, I slumped onto a chair and everyone just looked at me. I looked down, took a deep breath and said, "She's in a coma..."

I looked back up and looked at everone's expression. They were all in shock.

We were all silent for a few seconds and then Lissa began crying, Christian was comforting her, Adrian told us that he needed air and Eddie, Mason and Mia just sat down quietly.

I was quiet and just continued to stare at the ground.

Then all of a sudden, Lissa got up and went into the room. Everyone else was just sitting down and not saying anything. Adrian had come back and just sat on his chair closing his eyes.

A few minutes later, Lissa came out looking frustrated.

Christian asked her, "What's wrong?"

Lissa then yelled, which startled everyone, "Why can't I heal her!" then she sat back down in her chair.

I sighed, got up and went into the room.

I looked at Rose's body.

She looked fine. She was just connected to a heart monitor.

I pulled out a chair and sat next to her bed. I took her hand in mine and whispered, "Please wake up soon..."

~2 Days Later~

Right now, I was at the cafeteria eating with the rest of the gang.

Rose still hasn't woken up and everyone was still in a sort of depressed state.

Few minutes later, Mason and Eddie had finished eating and said that they were going to visit Rose. They then headed in the direction of the infirmary.

I sighed. How long will it be until she wakes up.

I looked at the rest of the people remaining in our table.

Lots of people need her.

Lissa's POV

It has been two days since we had found out that Rose was in a coma.

It has also been two days that I have been worried sick about her. No one knows when she'll wake up.

I felt terrible. I guess Dimitri felt terrible too. He looked more depressed than anyone. He truly did love Rose.

Please Rose, please wake up soon. We all need you. Dimitri needs you.

Then all of a sudden, there was a voice in my head that I knew all too well,

Lissa, get your butt over here with everyone else's! Right Now!

It was Rose! She was awake! And the bond got stronger!

I sat up quickly and everyone looked at me in confusion.

I smiled a big smile and said, "Rose is awake!"

Everyone's eyes widened and everyone ran towards the infirmary, including me.

My best friend was awake!

Rose's POV (before she woke up)

Argh! I have been wondering in the darkness for so long! When will I be able to get out!

I was now walking around and as always, I saw nothing.

Okay, this was getting annoying! I want to get out of here!

Then suddenly, someone appeared before me.

I was shocked at who it was.

It was Andre Dragomir, Lissa's brother.

He spoke first, "Hey Rose, how's it going?"

I got out of my shocked state and said, "Hey, urmm... it's going quite okay, except I have no idea where I am."

Andre chuckled and said, "You're in between life and death."

I looked at him, confused and he just chuckled again.

Then he said, "I'm just saying that you have a decision to make. To either go back or come with me."

I sighed and said, "Well isn't it obvious? I want to go back!"

He smiled at me and said, "I thought so. You didn't even have to think this one through."

I smiled back and said nothing.

He pointed left and said, "Head that way and don't stop until you see the light."

I replied, "I thought I wasn't supposed to go into the light. I thought I go through there to get to the afterlife."

He laughed and told me, "In this case, it isn't. It's to the light of the infirmary, where you have been staying in for 2-3 days."

I yelled, "WHAT! I was out that long!"

He nodded at me and I just kept looking at him.

Few seconds of silence and then I say, "Well, I better get going now. People are probably missing THE Rose Hathaway."

He smiled and said, "Yeah, you better get going." He makes his way towards me and pulls me into a big hug. He whispers in my ear, "Please take care of Lissa."

I hug him back and say, "I will."

We let go of each other and then I begin to head into the direction he pointed.

I kept walking and walking and walking and still no light.

I sighed. I was becoming tired so I sat down.

Then suddenly, there was a light and it pulled me in.

I had closed my eyes when the light had pulled me in. So at this point I was trying to open my eyes.

When I opened them, I blinked to get my eyes to adjust to the lighting.

Then I heard Lissa's voice in my head.

Please Rose, please wake up soon. We all need you. Dimitri needs you.

When she said that, I thought, "Lissa, get your butt over here with everyone else's! Right Now!"

Then I felt her emotions. They became shocked and excited.

Few seconds later, I heard her in my head again.

Rose! I heard you in my head! The bond grew stronger!

I laughed and replied,

That is so cool! Now hurry up! I wanna see you guys!

I didn't get a reply after that. What I got was the gang bursting through the door and rushing over to me.

The first one to get to me was Lissa. And she gave me a big hug.

Next was Dimitri. He engulfed me into a bigger hug than Lissa's and then kissed me.

Then the rest were just like standing there. Then I yelled, "Group hug!"

Everyone laughed and then we all hugged.
