As the wind blows down over the mountain, covering everything in fresh layers of snow. Dimitri sits on the sofa reading one of the Down the Long Hills by Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures.
When came a loud knock on the front door. Dimitri's head turns to the door and thought did Jasmine come back earlier. Put a bookmark in close the book. Lay the book down on the coffee table. Grab his silver stake and getting up from the couch. Moving over to the window and looked out to see two figures. Dimitri walked to the front door and unlocked the front door.

Head back downstairs to where Alberta and Janine were standing in the kitchen getting coffee. Dimitri walked into the kitchen. Janine said, where is the milk? Dimitri opens the icebox and pulls out the canned milk. Remember that Jasmine had been using this in her coffee. Dimitri said the sugar is in front of you, and spoons are in the drawer.
Alberta walked across the kitchen and stepping on the trap door and hearing a creak. Making her stop in place. Dimitri said, Alberta. Your standing on the trap door that goes to the root cellar. Janine said ow! My new log cabin has a root cellar.
"Dimitri said, Guardian Janine Hathaway." I hate to inform you that is not your log cabin. This is Jasmine's log cabin. Jasmine's name is on the deed and not yours. Janine said we see about that. "Dimitri thought over died body that her Guardian Hathaway was going to bull Jasmine in give her cabin or take it from her." Janine said, is anything else. I need to know about this cabin? Dimitri avoids saying anything questions on the log cabin. Dimitri turns from Janine to Alberta.
Dimitri said I have been keeping a record of each of Jasmine's magical abilities. The dates, magical abilities appear at the time. Who was around when it happens. Alberta said that is good. Guardian Belikov to keep recorders on everything that has Jasmine Hathaway. Janine walked and went to grab the notebook from Dimitri. Dimitri pulled it away from Janine.

Open the door, walked into the living area. Jasmine, glancing around to see a fire still burning in the fireplace. Listen to hear if anyone was making a sound and not finding anyone. Jasmine closes the front door and locks the door. Put her backpack back down by the wall. Start to remove her jacket and boots. Put her footwear next to the wall and jacket on the hook by the door.
Jasmine swings around and walked into the kitchen. Start making some hot cocoa. Reach down, picked up the stainless steel tea kettle, and started feeling with water. Waiting for the steel tea kettle fulled and walked over to the stove. Putting a steel tea kettle on the stove and turn on the stove.

Opening the trap door and walking down the stair. Turn on the light and walked over, found a new box of cocoa mix. Grabbing two boxes and head back up to the kitchen.
Turn off the light to the root cellar and close the trap door. Put two boxes on the counter and the rug over the trap door. Putt one of the cocoa mixes in the pantry. Walking over to the coffee pot and reached up and open the cabinet. Grabbed a green color cup. Walking over to the stove and reaching drawer and pulling out a spoon.

Jasmine walked around the couch Sitting down on the couch and putting her feet on the coffee table.
Dimitri, walking down the stairs. Found someone sitting on the couch with their feet on the coffee table. Dimitri had put his foot down in the log cabin. By telling that Jasmine and he would not have any bullshit in house. Dimitri thought someone wasn't listening to him again. Jasmine takes a drink and looking at the fire. Dimitri walked up to Jasmine. Saying Roze get your feet off the coffee table.
Jasmine looked up at Dimitri said, Good to see you too, cowboy. Dimitri realized it was Jasmine and not Roze. Dimitri, bend down and looked into Jasmine's golden eyes and knew that Jasmine had come home. Dimitri sitting down next to Jasmine and give Jasmine a big bear hug and say I missed you. Jasmine said I miss you too. Dimitri said when did you get back? Jasmine about ten minutes ago. Jasmine yawn! Dimitri could tell that Jasmine was tired and didn't want to tell her about Janine or Alberta being at the cabin until Jasmine gets a full night's sleep. Jasmine finished her cocoa and said I going to my bedroom to get sleep. Getting up and moving to the kitchen putting cup in sink.
Jasmine walked back into the living area. Dimitri holding Jasmine's backpack. Dimitri took Jasmine's hand and leading Jasmine upstairs to their bedroom. Dimitri knew Jasmine was back, and he was going to keep herself. Dimitri wants Jasmine to get a full night's sleep before questions tomorrow.
Dimitri opens the bedroom door and pulled Jasmine into the bedroom. Jasmine, trying to understand what was going on with Dimitri. Dimitri took Jasmine's backpack and put it in the chair.

You must be tired from a long journey and just help get ready for bed.
Jasmine said I get the feeling that your hiding something from me. I want to know what it is? Dimitri said Alberta and Janine arrived at the log cabin. Jasmine asked when did they get here? Dimitri said two days after you left. Your mother is starting to piss me off. Jasmine said I know what you mean. Now you understand why Rosie talks back to her.
Dimitri turns to find Jasmine was wearing a black crop top with black underwear. Jasmine walked over to the bed and pulled the covers back. Dimitri grabbed Jasmine and making her look at him. Saying that was a mean trick. Replace you with Rose. Jasmine smiled. Dimitri started kissing Jasmine. Kiss Jasmine with passion and love. Jasmine pulled away and climb into bed. Dimitri knew Jasmine's bedtime. Covering Jasmine and telling her sleep dream.
Jasmine said tomorrow. I will answer questions, and something tells me. I'm going to have put my foot down with Janine Hathaway. Dimitri smiled at Jasmine and leaning down kissing lips. Turn around walking out of their bedroom.
Dimitri, closing the door to the bedroom. Janine, standing by her bedroom door and looking at him. Janine said, Guardian Belikov. Remember that you are on guard? Dimitri said, Yes! Guardian Hathaway. I had to go to the bathroom and stop with stupid questions.
