"Now answer us nicely please. Where is the hideout?" I ask the low level demon infront of me.

"No where you'll find it." He growls.

"Tell us or your *ss is fried." Mimi says getting angry.

"It is either way." He counters at her.

"We will let you live." I tell him.

"I'm still dead."

"Just tell us." Noel says getting fed up.

"Bite me." He snaps.

"Fine you wanna die. Die." I glare.

I toss a vanquishing potion at him and watch him burn in flames.

"Great now what?" Artie sighs.

"No idea. Ugh this is nothing but dead ends." I says rubbing my sore neck.

"Lets take a break for now." Mimi sighs.

"Fine. I don't wanna be stressed tonight. I'm going on a date in like ten minutes." I say looking at my watch.

"Ohh can I crash?" Mimi smiles evily.

"You do and your cupid *ss is mine." I glare at her.

"Yikes."

"Yasmin." Noel scolds me.

"Sorry I'm just edgy lately. But it's true. Artie tell dad it was a dead end and to actually call me next time. Bye guys." I say exasperated.

I ord home and get changed. Alue is spending the night with Lenny and the Cullens. Familiars don't have the same scent as werewolves/shape-shifters. I dress in a long sleeve creams shirt with a ribbon around my waist and a pair of jeans and tan boots. I put my hair up into a high up do and spray some perfume.(Victories secret Slice of heaven try it's awesome) I add some light lip gloss and grab my Jacket just in time as I hear Jake's car pull up. I run down stairs as the car honks and climb inside.

"Hey guys." I greet them.

"Hey Yasmin." Rachel smiles at me.

"Hey witchy." Paul greets.

"Hey babe." I smile at Jake.

"Hey." He replies.

I peck him lightly and he drives off.

"So Yasmin ready for some sick fun?" Paul says trtying o get me scared.

"Ready to scream your *ss off." I counter.

"I'm not scared of anything." He says tring to be tough.

"Yeah right the first time you saw Yas blow up a demon you nearly pissed yourself." Jacob laughed.

"Did not."

"So that's what I smelled the piss of fear." I mocked.

We all laugh at his pissed off face but then Rachel kisses his cheek and he smiles again. Wow do I have that power over Jake? We get to Port Angeles and we get our seats. They guys go get the snack and me and Rachel just wait.

"So how have you and my brother been?" Rachel ask me taing of her jacket.

"He's great. Really. Just a little over protective sometimes." I smile at her.

"I hear that. You should have seen him when I first met Paul. Never saw so much red in his eyes."

We laugh and soon they come back and Jake passes me the soda and popcorn. I grab a handful and start munching. Halfway through me and Jake start to make out while Paul tries to do the same with Rachel but also trying to ignore the screams of horror and blood. After the movie and some nice kissing we go grab some ice cream and just sit around.

"So how about Sam and Emily?" Jacob smiles.

"Ohh right the wedding. That's going to be so much fun. I got brides maid." I say happily.

"You in a dress? Sorry can't see it." Paul says mockingly.

"Shut up. So are you going Rachel?" I turn to her.

"I don't know? I'm only on break now. Maybe I can miss a day or two for it. Not too sure. She says in deep thought.

"Don't worry you'll make it. Paul said he's run to your college and back if he had to. Ouch!"

Paul and Jake end up wrestling on the floor and me and Rachel shake our heads.

"Men." We say together.

When they finally finish we all head home and I walk up stairs for a quick shower. Again I get the feeling someone is watching me so I try to finish as fast as I can. When I'm done I see that Jake is sitting on my bed and reading my old history Book Of Mythical Creatures.

"Hey what you reading about?" I say running a brush throuh my hair.

"Just some things on shape-shifters. Wanna know more about my heritage I guess." He says turning the page.

"Ohh. What did you find?" I ask sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Nothing I already know. You okay?" He says closeing th bok and looking at me.

"Yeah. I just had a feeling that someone was watching me again." I shiver.

"You sure it's not Ethan?" He says wrapping his arms around me.

"Positive. I caught him once a long time ago and that was enough for him. Shampoo bottle to the nuts scares a guy for life." I chuckle at te memmory.

Jake laughs and I snuggle into him. We lie down for a bit and just enjoy the quiet. With all the demon hunting and searching for the elf going on we don't really have time to ourselves anymore. I kiss Jacob lightly and sigh.

"Something wrong?" He asks looking down at me.

"No I just...I don't know. I can't shake this feeling."

"Well then follow the feeling." He tells me.

"Thats the problem it ends at the middle of nowhere. I see something then I don't. It just so frustrating." I pout.

"Don't let it eat at you. Just think of something to cover it up or just work with your instincts. I'll follow." He says lifting my chin to look at him.

I look at him and smile.

"You sure you wanna do this?" I whisper to him.

"Positive."

I grab jacket and my sneakers and pull them on. I grab his hand and we orb to the spot. It's a small place in Italy maybe. I smell sweet Jasmin and hazel.

"Where are we?" Jacob asks holsing my hand tighter.

"From the giant mountain over there I'll say Calabria, Italy.(I chose a random place in my guide book). Probably a foreign part. Old fashioned." I explain.

We walk to the clearing and see a small village. We walk up to an old woman and she smiles.

"BuonaSera coppie giovani. Come Stai sta sera?(Good evening young couple. How are you this evening?)" She asks me in italian.

"BuonaSera, Noi molto Contento. Tu parli inglese?(Goodevening we are very happy. Do you speak English?)" I reply to her.

"Yes. But not a very good I'm afraid." She smiles weakly.

"It's plenty. If you have any trouble just speak in Italian." I asure her.

"Grazie."

"Prego." I smile.

"What brings a lovely witch like yourself to these parts?" She smiles at me.

"You knew I was a witch?" I look at her wide eyed.

"Si, and your socio(Partner) here is a shape shifter." She says motioning to Jake.

"How did you know?" Jacob asks her.

"I am a very old lady. But I'm smarter than any normal Nonna.(Grandmother)" She smirks at us.

"Signora please tell me why my senses lead me here." I ask her.

"You are a very special witch my dear. Very smart and brave I see. Andiamo! Noi abbiamo andare.(Lets go! We must go.)" She says getting up from her seat.

"Signora, where are we going?" I ask following her, Jake close to my side.

"Italians are very noisy people. Specially around here. We shall go to my house. You kept me waiting since this mourning." She scolds me.

"Spiacente(sorry)" I apologize.

"It's okay Principessa(Princess) No harm done." She waves it off.

"Scusa?(Excuse me?) Did you just call me a princess?" I ask shocked.

"Si. And I'm not just being nice. Now come! Andiamo!" She calls again.

"Yasmin where are we going?" Jacob asks me.

"I don't know but I blame you." I scold him.

"Me! Why!"

"You said follow your instincts and now look where we are. Stuck with some crazy old Italian lady in the middle of nowhere." I whisper yell.

"I can here you." She yells from the front.

"Sorry." We say to her.

"It's okay Principessa. No harm done." She replies again.

We walk down a old path to a nice little villa on a hill. I smell some familiar herbs and potions mixed in the air.

"Signora are you a witch too?" I ask her.

"Si, Io oh strega e problema?(Yes, I am a witch is there a problem?)" She ask me.

"No! Non problema. I was just curious. " I smile.

"Wow." Me and Jake gasp when we walk into her house.

"Welcome to mia case(My home) She says waveing us in.

She opens the door and we are hit with a wave of different scents like Jasmine and Thyme. lemons and coffee. Butter and cookies. A normal Italian home. A normal wiccan Italian home.

"Wow this is beautiful." Jacob gasps.

"Si, molto bella. Ummm Signora? Signora? Tu Dove?(Yes very beautiful. Ummm miss? Miss? Where are you?)" I call out to her.

"Ecco!(Here) Principessa look at this." She calls from the back room.

Me and Jake follow the old lady to a room full of exotic ingredients like stardust and is that an eye ball? I gulp as she stands on a pillar and hold out a big box to me. I look at Jake before I look at her.

"Take it principessa it's yours after all. Your past life surrounded this." She says holing out the box to me.

I look at the box and it is inscribed Stella.

"That was my past name?" I ask her.

"I think I would know my own principessa. I served her for many years. Her last wish was to give this to her next form. You remind me so much of her. Young and beautiful, Powerful and thick headed, and very deeply in love with the one at your side." She smiles looking at Jacob.

I look to Jake and smile.

"He gets his moments." I grin.

"Please open the box." She asks me.

I open the box and see that inside is a bow and arrow set. I stare at it in wonder. It is very strange but very intriguing.

"Signora che cosa รจ esso?(Miss what is it?)" I ask her confused.

"Arco e freccia La luna(The moon's bow and arrow) It is to be used by the powerful witch who wields the power of Strength." She explains to me.

"Strenght? But I'm supposed to be Hope right?" I say more confused.

"No. You Principessa are the wielder of strength. My Stella was a strong archer. With her arrow of Lunar light she closed the door to seal the stone flower away many years ago. The realms were not to be opened again. But now the same evil who destroyed my Principessa and her friends is back. They were strong but apparently not strong enough. I pray you help seal this evil again and this time keep it sealed. He is a very strong Linch and it was very difficult for Stella to seal him away." The old lady explains with sadness in her voice.

"Why? If they were so strong together why was it so hard?" Jacob asks her.

"He took her amante(her lover)With him to the Winterlands and they were trapped there. Now he is forced to wonder the cold lands for eternity" She says sadly.

I look at Jake worriedly and try not to panic. Jacob holds me and calms me down.

"I promise that will never happen." He whispers to me.

"You cannot change destiny. Someone must go in to make sure He does not come out." She tells us.

"Then I'll go this time. I'm sick of people dying because of us. I lost so many friends and had too many close calls with the damn Angel of Death." I say close to tears.

"Yasmin." Jacob says sadly.

"No Jake I'm not going to watch you die. I already saw someone I love die once. I don't want to see it again." I crack.

He holds me tighter and I try to calm the tears threatening my eyes.

"I'm sorry Principessa...But It cannot be helped."

"You are the witch sent to help us aren't you?" I ask her.

"Yes I am. But-"

She gasps and we look at her.

"Principessa quickly go home. You are not safe here. Rapidamente.(Quickly) Give these to the other chosen ones and be safe. Please. Go." She gathers more boxes and hands them to me.

"I'm not leaving you. What is coming? Maybe I can help." I say getting worried.

"Per favore, vada.(Please, go.) I do not want to see your carina faccia(Cute face) die again." She says cupping my face in her soft hands.

"And I don't want you to sacrifice anything for me." I say to her.

"Qui! Io ho trovati!(Over here! I found them!)" We hear voices from the front of the house.

"Go! Go!" She says usering us further into the back of the rom.

"Yasmin lets go." Jake says trying to get me to follow.

'No. Please tell me your name first." I tell her.

"Karen. Now please Principessa go."

The door burst open and she puts up a shield.

"GO! LEAVE MY HOUSE YOU CREATURES FROM THE WINTERLANDS! BE GONE FROM MY HOME!" She recites the spell strongly.

I watch as she sends a strong light at the demons and I see her smile one last time. I can't stand it and orb me and Jake back home. I collapse on the floor of the manor and Cali runs to my side.

"Yasmin! Ohh baby what happened?" Cali says running over to me.

"I think I solved the mystery." I say tiredly showing her the boxes.

I soon faint.
