I had finished packing my stuff. Dimitri and I had promised Kirova that we'd be teachers at St. Vladimir's academy. The whole group followed us. Christian and Mia joined us so they could have a greater part in their Moroi fighting class. Sonya Karp would go back to teaching at the academy, as a Spirit user she would help the other spirit user students. Mikhail Tanner became an academy guardian again, because he followed Sonya Karp. Lissa wanted to return to the academy too. She could work from there too, though we would need to go back to Court sometimes. Eddie followed her as her guardian, so the only one missing was Adrian. He was somewhere in the north of the country, I don't know what he was doing.

I looked forward to be teaching at the academy, but I would be teaching with Dimitri, so that would be hard. It was a month after the break up and of course we now work together too, but not all the time. Well, I could do it, like I always can do.

The others already were at Lissa and Christian's apartment so we were ready to go. Of course we took a few guardians with us, because Lissa always needed to be guarded, even at the academy. We walked to the plane, which was just big enough for all of us. Dimitri and I were forced to sit together and however I tried to ignore that, him being near me still made me feel nervous. how he sat there, reading his western novel.

We landed at the airport of the academy after a few hours. Dimitri and I walked in silence towards Kirova's office. Dimitri knocked on the door and after a "Come in," we walked inside.

Kirova sat behind her desk, as always. She smiled when she saw us.

"Welcome Guardian Belikov and Guardian Hathaway. It's good to see you two here," she said. "I think you have read the letter we sent you?"

Dimitri and I nodded. Of course we had read it.

"Then I guess you know what we ask of you?" she asked.

"yes," I said.

"Good. Can you please sign the contract then?"

Dimitri signed his one first and then he gave me the pen. Our fingers accidentally touched and I still felt that spark. I dared to look at him to see that I just imagined it, but what I saw was different...

I saw that he still loved me.

author's note: finally, the sequel to no more. I know I took a while for writing this, and you may have thought that I wasn't going to write the sequel to no more, but here it is.

I hope you'll enjoy it :)
