Rose felt tapping against her cheek and it was slowly bringing her around. Her feeling was disoriented. Like she was waking up from a bad dream, but like most dreams once you began to wake up, what it was about began to distance itself from your mind. She was beginning to be relieved that what had upset her, no longer existed.
Her eyes slowly opened and her senses began to wake up too from shutting down due to her being overwhelmed and who did her eyes see upon opening? Ken. She gave a soft smile but then it hit her, why would Ken be waking her up? This wasn't something normal. Usually when she didn't want to get out of bed, he may knock on the door to give her the extra boost her alarm clock wasn't doing. But never at her side. Then she started listening to the sounds around her, the sounds of panic.
Her head turned so she could look at her surroundings and there in a short distance, mayhem ensued. Rose looked down to see the blood and everything rushed back at her and she grabbed Ken for dear life. "They... I... She...." What was Rose to say? Not even she knew. "She... She's..." One of her hands slid from holding Ken and went to her neck. "Oh my god... Oh my god...." Her arms wrapped around him and hugged him tightly, Rose couldn't help but to sob out, feeling sick. She had blood on her, blood that wasn't her blood. Blood of the Minister, blood of a family friend.
Rose pulled back, her head shaking violently. "Tell me she's okay, Ken. Tell me please, please..." Although something inside of her said no. "What's happening?"
