The Deadly Star

Chapter 9: Awakening of The Dead.

"ROSALIE!!!" Dimitri yelled and swept me up in bridal style.

Pain shot through my chest and I tried to tell him to stop but nothing came out. 

"Dimitri, be careful with her.." Ryan said with a welcoming grin as though I had just been out of town for a while.

I wanted to be angry but it was really good to know Dimitri cared about me. Zara looked at me and tried to smile, rather pathetically might I add. I knew she was jealous of the fact Dimitri cared about me enough to bring me back from the dead but is it really necessary to pretend?

It's not like I was a complete blonde and wouldn't know she was jealous.

"owwwww..." A slight whimper escaped my lips at last and Dimitri placed me carefully on the bed I had just five minutes ago been lying dead on.

"Sorry..." Dimitri said trailing off. I could tell disappointment was overwhelming him yet he was still thrilled that I was alive.

"Dimitri, she'll need to gather some energy to be able to talk and stuff, grab her some mashed up food for her to swallow and then leave her be." Zara said trying not to glare at me.

"OK." Dimitri said and he bent over my fraile body and kissed me on the forehead, then traced his lips down the side of my face to my lips. He pulled away after a while noting the fact that I was struggling to breath.

Ryan was still in the room when Zara and Dimitri exited to go make some food to force down my throat.

Ryan walked over to me and mumered, "Rosalie, I am really sorry..."

"Do-don't w-worry." I managed to croak out.

"No Rosalie, you shouldn't be forgiving me. I was the main reason you did this to yourself. I was the reason you had to go through so much physical and emotional pain...I don't expect your forgivness at least not that easily." He continued.

"C-can y-you h-h-elp m-me up?" I struggled out and reached a fragile hand out to Ryan who gently pulled me up into a seated postion at the end of the bed.

"Ryan, you weren't the main reason." I said slowly while trying to smile.

"What was then?" He asked politely.

"Dimitri..."

"What? Why?"

"I love Dimitri but..." I was still struggling and started into a coughing fit and brought my hand up to my mouth as if to help hold the coughing in.

"But what?" He said looking at me in sorrow as he noticed the fact I was struggling to speak and was rather ill because of it.

"I caught him in bed with Zara..." I started coughing more and I started struggling for breath. I wasn't asthmatic but I new this was worse than an asthma attack. Yes you can die from an asthma attack but I was sure that if I left this a little longer I would be gone again too.

"Rosalie...are you OK?"

"H-help..." I struggled out while holding my hand to my throat, signalling the fact that I was struggling to breath properly.

"DIMITRI!!!" Ryan yelled with eyes full of concern.

Dimitri came running in with Zara on his heels. Great, just great, so wanted her here to watch me possibly die.

"She cant breath!" Ryan exclaimed as I fell back onto the bed, coughing still and I saw blood splatter from my mouth to my, oh shit, bare chest. I was wearing nothing but my bra and I had two practically strangers in front of me and Dimitri.
