Okay here's the Epilogue... well it's more like a short paragraph per character but I didn't really want to write another chapter because I think that the last chapter was a ggod place to have the main / proper ending, and also becuase couldn't tie everything off that I thought needed to be closed in one chapter without making it really stupidly long so I wrote this instead. Hope you like (:


Meredith managed to put up with Adrian but knocked out the hot French dude for groping her butt. He got sacked and replaced with a hot English bloke who she fell head over heels in love with. He loves her back. They're getting married in a few months.

Eddie forgave me in time. He let what happened between Mason and me slide but he couldn't believe I kept it all a secret from him for so long. For a while I couldn't stop apologising. That is until he threatened to leave Lissa because he couldn't stand it anymore. I shut up pretty quickly.

Lissa became queen at the ripe old age of twenty one. She made combat training for all Moroi compulsory but it still working on offensive magic and has made sure the Dhampir and Moroi suites in guest housing are all the same – luxury. She demanded that 'Dhampir' be spelt with a capitol 'D' in all the records and forced the rest of the Moroi council to change it by themselves, the long way round. They grumbled I laughed. 'Guardian' is to be spelt with a small 'g' emphasising that we're people not robots. The guardian council has more power and freedom. Everyone loves her.

Christian has postponed his work with Tasha in getting more people on board with using offensive magic and is preparing for their baby. He's living the dream and trying out recipes on the unfortunate people who happen to be in the room at the time. I say unfortunate because he barrages us with questions but we put up with it because his meatloaf is pretty damned awesome. He still pisses me off.

Mom accepted that I'm going to marry Dimitri and Simona fixed him up with a Moroi who lives full time on campus so we can be together.

Dimitri and I have our happily ever after. We're getting married soon. I had to put my foot down when he threatened to put a quotation in his vows from some western novel. I've let him have something that sounds vaguely like Shakespeare because it's better than some line John Wayne said. It goes something like this:

"See how she leans her cheek upon her hand.
Oh! That I were the glove upon that hand
that I may touch that cheek."

… Oh, I have to meet his family tomorrow and he's ecstatic. I'm scared shitless.


So that's the official end to the story and I hope you liked it and the rest of the story as much as I enjoyed writing it. For what was supposed to be a one shot I don't think I did too badly - do you? Let me know what you think.

Errr... I guess I should thank William Shakespeare for the quotation I borrowed from Romeo and Juliete Act 2 Scene 2. And for Purple Pulse for giving it to me.

And now for the last time... The brilliant Vampire Academy series belongs to its creator Richelle Mead.

Finallly I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who stuck with the story, gave me author/story alerts or favorite author/story makers and most of all to all those who reviewed. Reviews and all the rest of them are good so a massive thanks to y'all :D
