After Shadow Kiss… their love in the cabin happened, there was the battle and the rescue but Dimitri wasn't taken or turned.

(-I own nothing of Vampire Academy-)

It's been a week since the battle and our rescue mission. We're still living in the aftermath and everyone is still shaken up by it. I won't lie and say I'm not a bit disturbed by it because the love of my life was almost taken from me. When we were leaving the cave and Dimitri was blindsided, I thought that was the end, but he managed to take down the damn blonde haired strigoi .

Despite everything that happened there was still something wonderful about that day (night). Dimitri and I finally gave into our love and I gave myself to him. We discussed how we were going to manage our love and our duty. He is going to try and get reassigned to court, because that's where we will be living after graduation and of course when Lissa and I aren't away at college. We won't see each other as often as I'd like, but I'm going to take what I can get.

Right now, life is going great. I couldn't ask for anything more. But of course someone has to rain on my parade… and that happened today.

Dimitri and I were running laps when Alberta approached him and told him the news. He was being reassigned like he asked but it wasn't to court. He was being sent away to Russia. His new charge was another Zeklos, they figured he would like to be closer to his home. He will be leaving the next day. He thanked Alberta for letting him know but I can tell he wasn't thankfully at all.

After she walked away, we stood there for what felt like an eternity, the silence was too much, so I was the first to speak. "What do we do now"?

He stood there not saying anything for a while then turned towards me and with the love and hurt in his eyes he said we can still make this work. I wanted to believe him so much, but for some reason I felt that things weren't going to be the same.
