Prologue

As i stand here with Lissa at the edge of the wards waiting for the guardian rescue party to come back i think back to the past couple of days. After taking darkness from Lissa and almost killing Jesse because of it Dimitri dragged me away to the cabin that Tasha stayed at when she was visiting Christian and we finally gave in to our love. I don't regret waiting to lose my virginity. Because it wouldn't have been as perfect as it was with someone other than Dimitri.

Our happiness was short lived. While walking back to my dorm, Mason's ghost appeared just seconds before the strigoi started to attack. All hell broke loose. St. Vlad's went on lockdown. That didn't stop me though. When i ran into Christian (who didn't know about the attack) we stumbled upon strigoi and defeated them one by one. We were one badass team!

The loss of life was extreme. Strigoi being strigoi, also captured dhampirs and Moroi. The guardians decided to go on a rescue mission to try and save the ones taken from us. Since one of the ones captured was my good friend, Eddie Castile, i was eager to fight along with them.

I can't remember much of the battle. It was all such a blur until the end. Dimitri was almost out when a blond strigoi who wanted to eliminate the last Dragomir, took him down. These last twelve hours have been pure torture for me. Dimitri and i had figured out how we were going to be together! I was finally gong to get my so called happily ever after with him. But now thanks to that strigoi, Dimitri could be dead, or worse, a strigoi.

"Do you think Dimitri...do you think he's still alive?" I asked Lissa softly.

"I don't know." I knew from the bond that she thought it was unlikely. I chose to ignore her though and hold on to hope.

We stood there in the cool breeze, wind whistling in our hair waiting for the guardians to come back. And hopefully Dimitri will be with them.
