"Be quiet! Look we can talk about it later but in private. I want to be the one to tell Lissa and all the others. So BE QUIET!" As soon as I started speaking vomit started to climb up my throat. I went back to my kneeling position and Sydney pulled my hair out of the way.
"Dimitri doesn't come in." Lissa's voice came from the door of the room. She was trying to stop Dimitri from coming into the room. Sydney closed the restroom's door and locked it so that no one would see us. "Lissa I have to see her. What happened to her?" Dimitri was trying to come in.
Just within a second, I wasn't in my body anymore but in Lissa's. "Dimitri stop." She would try to grab on to his duster but Dimitri was faster. "Guardian Belikov as your Queen I ordered you to exit this room or you will be arrested for not listening to your Queen." Lissa used her queen voice and Dimitri's skin went cold. I could feel some compulsion in her strong word.
Dimitri was shocked. He turned around for the restroom's door and faced Lissa. "As you say, my Queen," Dimitri said and walked away. I came back to my normal body and took a deep breath. "What was that?" Sydney said scared not knowing what had just happened to me. I leaned on the wall as I tried to calm down.
"We will talk about that later. Bring Adrian and keep Dimitri and Lissa away. Tell them. Tell them I was just a little motion sick from all those days in the train. Yeah, tell them that." I started smelling the cotton with alcohol again try to keep Lissa's perfume out of my mind. Sydney walked away and left the restroom. The whispers were still in my head however they were the least of my worries thanks to my massive headache. I would call my condition at the moment a super hungover.
"Little Dhampir, I got you don't worry," Adrian said opening the restroom's door. I was hit by stronger sent of cigarette smoke, and nausea came back. "Forget it... get out... you smell worse than Lissa," I said placing a hand over my nose. "Get over it, Rose. I can take away you're worried. There called Pain killers and they work wonders," Adrian handed me a glass of water and 2 little pills. I didn't understand how this would work but I was so frustrated with this stupid headache I took them.
After a while, I started to feel 10% better however the pills weren't strong enough. "Not working Adrian," I said angrily at the medication. "What do you want me to do?" "I don't know. Haven't you been hungover a million times before?" I was holding on my head. Scared that if I let go I would fall apart. "I know I am an expert, however, I have much more experience with alcohol than you little Dhampir."
"Can you use compulsion to make me forget about the pain or heal my headache." I wanted to feel better and start planning Lissa's proposal, but the pills weren't helping. I knew that my regular self would kick me in the ass for being too weak, but I was more than despret. Dealing with magic was just something I was more than I could take.
"Sorry little Dhampir, after using that much compulsion on you yesterday I started to feel bad so I took some antidepressants and I am out of magic." Adrian grabbed some of his pills that he had brought as well as the pain killers and handed me some of his pills for depression. "Look this is what we can do. The pill that you take for you nerves aren't working as long as you would wish and that makes the magic come back. Take 2 of these every 6 hours and you won't be able to see auras all day. Yet I don't have anything for the headache." Adrian handed me the little container with his antidepressants and water. I took them and felt the magic beginning to become less menacing, yet the headache was still a pain in the butt.
"Thanks," I said while grabbing on to the sink to get on my feet utterly forgetting I didn't really have steady legs. "Rose...!" Adrian caught me and saved me from further pain. "I wish my life was less complicated," I said as Adrian lade me back on the ground. The nausea increased thanks to me getting up but I couldn't vomit again because of the pills so I calmed myself down.
"Sydney can you please bring the wheelchair?" Adrian told Sydney. A few seconds later Sydney opens the door entering with my lovely char. Adrian came to his knees and picked me up. He wanted to place me on my wheelchair, but no way In hell I was going back to sitting on that. I tried to move my legs and it actually works. Adrian tried to placed me down but I pushed the chair away. "Rose get on the bloody chair," Adrian said I rotated by my movements.

"Are you kidding me of course not. I will never place my ass on that horrible thing. It's only slowing me down. Adrian, you should have seen me I was walking. I walked all the way to the restroom," I said proudly. Adrian looked unsurprised and keep on trying to please be down on the chair. "Well, you aren't walking any more sweetheart. First of all, you still have alcohol in your system, and to top it off Lissa has already threatened to bye Josie a new music CD of Frozen if you ever get another scratch on you. Do you know how annoying the song Let it go is?" Adrian spoke as Sydney just giggled. "Adrian if you place me near that wheelchair I swear I will get Shiloh that song in every way humanly possible."
Adrian found no other way possible to carry me to my bed and Sydney came behind us. "Damnit little Dhampir your so annoying," Adrian placed me on my bed and sat next to Sydney on the edge of my bed. "Rose we have to talk about your- um well you know what." Sydney tried her best to describe it. She pulled the document that I went over last night and my heart stopped for a second. "Not a lot of people know about this document's existence. Let alone that it has cost a change on you," Sydney explained. She pulled out more papers and substance.
"The best way I could explain what happened is that you are 75% moroi," I was speechless but calm as the words came out of her. "Just like us Alchemist, you were infused with Moroi blood. However, unlike us, humans receive a small dose of blood and gold to get our tattoos. You in the other hand were injected with high amounts of different types of Moroi blood and charmed liquids. Us as humans occasionally get sick or die from the blood. Now somehow you survive and your body adapted to the change even though it was such a big portion of blood. We believe it was because you're the body has been through a lot of spirit tanks to being shadow kissed. Causing your blood to become a type of poison like Strigois blood. Yet you are not a strigoi and can't create strigois so you can be calm," I was better now getting the strigoi pat out of the way.
"Now about your abilities. When we get our tattoos we gain good stamina and long life. But with you... Well, you as a Dhampir were borne with all of that and more, and by being induced with moroi blood... your blood mutated into 25 percent more moroi blood than a Dhampir's. You won't be drinking blood any time soon, however, you evolved enough that you generated spirit magic thanks to all the spirit use on you." All the pieces we falling in place and I started to see more clearly.
"So it is temporary. Right. Just like your tattoo, right. I will go back to normal, right?"I was glad this was going to be over in a few weeks. "Rose, our tattoos are temporary because of the compounds used on them, the fact that it's made with small portions, and also because we are humans makes everything different. I am sorry to tell you but thanks to all the magic use on you... your new abilities will more likely remain... forever," Sydney said and I was speechless. I couldn't stay like this forever.
