Zoey's POV
I wake up in a brightly lit room. I have an IV and blood pumping into my arm. I use my free arm to feel the bandaid on my neck. I let my arm fall back against the white bed and allow my eyes to drift closed once more.

How could I pass out? How unprofessional. A knock on the door allows me to open my eyes and watch as my parents walk into the room. "Zoey" Mum rushes over and wraps her arms around me. "Roza let our girl breathe" I hear Dad warn but I feel him hug me as well. "Mum. Dad. Really I'm fine" I wheeze from beneath their weight. My parents get up, my dad sits in the arm chair and Mum sits on the bed as she runs her hair through her curls. "You took down a strigoi my girl" she says fondly. I look away from her. "No I didn't. Alexander woke up. The wooden stake wouldn't keep him down for long" I mutter shamefully. "Zoey. You staked a strigoi, regardless of the material. Had it been silver you would be getting molnija marks on that neck of yours. You've come so far" I can see the pride in my parents eyes as I glance between them. "I got bit. I got stuck underneath a strigoi with no stake, that's a rookie mistake!" I argue. My mother shoots me a glare. "Zoella Diana Belikov. You kept countless moroi students safe. You kept them strigoi as far from the moroi wings as possible. You fulfilled the duties of a true guardian and you managed to stake one of them and keep yourself alive with only a practise stake. You did exceptionally well" my mother scolds me. Dad shoots her a look, "Roza" his voice has a gentle warning to it. The little family reunion is broken apart by the beep of two mobile phones. My parents share a pained look before glancing at me. "Go" I laugh as I point towards the door. They just look at me. "I mean it go, I'm fine." They each give me another hug and kiss before they leave with a final I love you.

I fall back against the pillow, as I let my fingers grace over the bandaid once again. I flinch when I hear a soft knock. "If you're a strigoi come back another time!" I shout. The door opens and I slightly sit up to see "Uncle Adrian!" I squeal and attempt to get off the bed. He points his finger at me. "Back on the bed, darling" I stay seated on the bed. He makes his way over and sits on the bed beside me. He clicks his tongue at me. "So much like your mother" I force a laugh and look at my hands. "What's wrong kid" I look up him. "Nothing I just am ready to leave" I smile softly. "Kid, you just woke up after two days you're not ready"

My head snaps up. "Two days?! Are you kidding me?! Where's Emma?! Whose been looking after Emma!? What about Spencer I haven't seen him since the attack! Did he make it out?! Nope I need to go!" I frantically demand as I rip the IV from my arm. "Zoey! What are you doing!" Adrian shouts as he grips my wrists tightly. "I need to go!" I shout back as I frantically look around the room. "Zoey! Look at me! It's me! It's Adrian. I'm not gunner lie to you. Emma is fine. Spencer is fine. Everyone is fine." He explains firmly. I stare at him slightly shaking. "I'm her guardian" I croak. "Not in here you're not. You're not Emma's guardian" I shoot him a glare. "Yes. I am. I've been around since day one, I've grown up with her. I'm her guardian." I explain hardly. "Emma is outside. I'll get her for you." He explains. I nod as I look at the bloody IV on the not so white bed.
Adrian opens the door and I look straight ahead to see my tired best friend sitting curled up on one of the couches waiting. Her eyes are hard with worry and tears stain her pale cheeks.

Her eyes snap up and she sees me. I offer her a smile, hoping it looks convincing. She instantly gets off the couch and sprints into the room, throwing her arms around me. "Oh Zoey Zoey Zoey you stupid stupid stupid girl!" I hear Uncle Adrian snort and I shoot him a glare. He just laughs. "I'm going to have a cigarette I will see you later kiddo" I wave softly still under Emma's tight embrace. "Em I'm fine" I reassure. She pulls away and slightly looks at me. "Promise?" She presses. I quirk an eyebrow. "Of course you really think I'm not?" I snort hoping my cocky attitude will convince her. It does I see it click in her eyes. "Good" she sighs. "So what have I missed babe" I ask. She sits beside me, pulling the blanket over her lap. "Well everyone was quite spooked. The whole school went into lockdown. After it passed everyone was still on edge because how did the strigoi get in? And then there's the fact that you staked one!" She starts her explanation before she gets excited. "With a wooden stake. Didn't kill Alexander" I grumble. "You still staked and fought off two strigoi! Wait what Alexander?" She questions. "That was his name" I mutter.
"How's Spence?" I ask to fill the silence. She looks at me and her eyes linger on the bandage on my neck. "Em?" Her eyes snap to mine. "Oh Spence is fine!" She reassured. I casually adjust my long curls to hide the bandage on my neck. "He was in here earlier actually, but they wouldn't let me in?!" She crumbles annoyed. "Wait what?" My head snaps to hers. "He snuck in here yesterday and stayed with you while you were unconscious for about an hour before he got caught." She explains. I can tell she thought it was a nice gesture but she was mad. She thinks she should've been the one in here. I've always been able to read her like that, out friendship was kinda similar to our mothers I guess. I grab her hand, and she holds mine tightly. She rests her head on my shoulder and not long after we both fall into a peaceful sleep.

My eyes snap open as I hear the click of the door closing. I feel the weight of Emma still asleep on me. I look ahead ready to get up and protect Emma when I realise it's just a nurse. She offers me a smile as she pushes a trolley in with some toast and a jug of water and two glasses. There's also a small clear cup with two pills. "Thank you" I say quietly she smiles at Emma and I before leaving quietly. I lean over, being careful not to jostle Emma before grabbing the piece of toast. I bite into it, leaving the slice of bread in my mouth as I tip the two pills into the table of the tray and crush them into powder with one of the glasses. I then casually brush the powder off the table. There's no way I'm doping myself up on pain meds. I'll be fine. It's just a bite and bruised ribs. I need to be alert.
