Dracula's Daughter

15. Slowly, But Surely Recovering

(Kyouya Tepes)

Rose was still unconscious. It had been nearly a month since the incident, and the ball was rescheduled. Rose was in a comatose state, unmoving, and not breathing, but she would have new wounds everyday that would heal on there own. Rose was dressed in The end of the dress flowed out on to the floor, showing her pale tempting legs and thighs. Her hair was let down and flowed around her like a halo, and she had a She looked like she was attending her own funeral other than sleeping. Now, since her room was large enough to fit six armies, everyone was in her room, silently waiting for her to wake up. Her

" Seiji. Why is she sleeping for this long!? She's not even breathing!" Ayato yelled as he glared at Seiji.

" I believe she is fighting whoever is inside her body." Seiji said, and Satoshi looked up from Rose.

" You mean like the time Amelia tried to possess her?" Satoshi asked and Seiji shrugged.

" More or less, but it seems this time Rose is too weak to fight and might.....not win." Seiji trailed off as he stared at his comatose sister.

" What do you mean?" Azusa timidly asked.

" It's a battle of will and strength." A new deep voice said, and everyone turned to see a silver haired man, drinking what looked like wine, watching them with his crimson eyes.

" Stefan." Orochi and Lucian greeted, while Stefan nodded at them in acknowledgement.

" I see you got my message are the others with you?" Seiji asked, but Stefan rolled his eyes.

" No. Just Mamoru, Katsuro,Kyouya, and I came. Father made the others search for an antidote, while Noaki, Velken, and Yoshi stormed off to hell to kill Amelia." Stefan said calmly, while swishing his glass of wine around. He then looked at Rose and said," She's weak, but she'll live through this. She always looks on the brighter side of things."

"Where are the others?" Lucian asked as he stomped on his cigarette.

" Right here." Three shadows walked up from the shadows, making Yuki and Yui blush. Kyouya had black hair and red eyes, Mamoru had black hair and light blue eyes, while Katsuro had long dark purple hair like Cedric and honey eyes.

Katsuro and Mamoru rushed to Rose's side and looked at her worriedly,"How long has she been like this?" Katsuro asked as he looked at Kaname.

" Almost a month now." Ruki replied and Katsuro looked at Kaito.

" Did you change her or....." Kaito nodded and sighed.

" A bunch of shadows engulfed her, then a bright light came and she was dressed like that." Iori said.

" She must be winning then." Kyouya said smoothly, making Yui blush furiously.

" Will Tsuki Chan be alright?" Yuki asked, with tears coming out of his eyes.

" It depends, if she loses hope, she'll grow weak and whoever is in her body, would compress her soul, and eventually kill her."

" Then they'll take over her body, and powers."

" Leaving nothing-"

" But an empty shell." Stefan and Kyouya spoke grimly.

" So, she'll die?" Zero asked shakily, causing everyone's eyes to widened at his statement.

" She would only die if she gives up, but that's highly unlikely of her." Kaien said.

" Yes, it's her body, she probably already won, but is just expelling the person from her body." Mamoru explained and Yui looked at him hopefully.

" Is that why she has been bleeding recently?" Rima asked

The older brothers shrugged and Stefan said," Possibly. She is slowly recovering."

" Slowly, but surely." Katsuro said as he gently caressed her cheek.

" Father will be devastated if she dies." Kyouya started.

" And this family will fall apart without her." Stefan continued.

" So she can't die." Lucian finished and everyone, just stared at Rose's limp body.

" Teddy says that Rose Chan moved!" Kanato yelled out excitedly, and sure enough everyone saw Rose's hand twitch and slowly her breathing returned, as well as the color in her lips and cheeks.

" Told you she'd win." Stefan murmured, but was cut short when her heart and breathing just......

" It stopped?!"
