Turn around walk away from the study.
Janine walked inside and discover Jasmine, sitting in a recliner writing in her journal. Reach down and tap Jasmine on her shoulder. Jasmine looked up and pulled ear pods out of her ears. Jasmine said, Mommy! Janine asked something wrong? Jasmine said, Yes! What stuff that happening around me. I am feeling that I'm being pulled apart at the seams. Get kicked out of the academy. Because Kirova dirty dealing with the L.A. Mafia, becoming the new element, and Damon naps on guard with bitch Tasha. Sorry, Mommy for my mouth. Last night, I had a nightmare about what happened three years old with strigoi.
Janine put down her coffee cup on the table. Jasmine could see the mother's guardian mask snap into place. When she finds out Damon wasn't doing his job. Janine reaches down, touch Jasmine's right side face, and said my sweet little Jasmine. Your mommy is here for you, and Mommy will make it better. Jasmine smiled at her mother.

Vasilisa said Jasmine so good at playing guitar after what happened three years ago. Tasha said if the guardian doesn't work out for Jasmine. She could always start a band. Christian said, Aunt Tasha. Jazz has plans for her life. Janine said come work Szelsky family in Nepal. Rose said Jazz isn't going to Nepal with you and work for the Szelsky family. We all know that Jazz wants to start its academy to train the best guardians. "Tasha thought Jasmine want to become a teacher to train the next set of guardians. It would get her out my way. so that I could have Dimitri all to myself."
Adrian looked down at his watch and said, Guardian Hathaway. It's about time for leaving to go to the feeders in Columbia Falls. Don't get wrong. I enjoy listening to little nova play. But I am hungry. The other Moroi started to agree with Adrian. Grandmother and Elatha watching everyone started getting up from the sofa, chairs, and floor. Jasmine keeps playing but this time Jasmine was playing the song Rock-milady - HALLELUJAH. Dimitri keep watching Jasmine play the song. Finding Jasmine really good. Tasha said Dimka! Are you coming with us? Dimitri said No! I can't leave until Captain Alberta sends word for me. "Christian said Aunt Tasha. We are leaving" Tasha, Adrian, Christian, Vaslissa, Eddie, Rose, Damon, and Janine started heading for the front door.
Janine opens the front door to find an albino grizzly bear walking onto the porch and heading inside. Make everyone back away slowly. Jasmine stop playing, looks up to see an albino grizzly bear walking into the house. Janine said, Jasmine! Jasmine said, it alright to everyone. This is Mr. Bear. Vasilisa said he beautiful! Christian pulled Vaslissa away from the bear. Rose said albino grizzly bears are rare in the world. Jasmine said Hello! Mr. Bear. Dimitri jumps to his feet to find an albino grizzly bear walking into the house carrying a basket in his teeth. Jasmine smiled to see everyone started to overreact over the albino grizzly bear. Elatha said good see you again my old friend.
Dimitri stands next to Jasmine. Jasmine said something wrong? Dimitri said there is an albino grizzly bear in the house. Jasmine said so! If you remember the log cabin comes with a bear. Mr. Bear is the bear that comes with a log cabin. Dumb ass! Dimitri said it wild animal. Jasmine smiled and laughing on way Dimitri acting.
Jasmine speaking in Russian. (Медведь гризли-альбинос превращается в человека. Скоро они уедут, состоится второе испытание.) (Meaning: The albino grizzly bear is a shapeshifter into a man. Soon they leave the second test will take place.) Dimitri turn looked at Jasmine and spoke back. Saying in Russian. (Вы хотите сказать, что медведь гризли-альбинос - оборотень?) (Meaning: Are you saying the albino grizzly bear is a shapeshifter?) Jasmine nods her head yes.
MR. Bear walked up to Elatha still holding the basket in his teeth. Elatha reached down and took the basket. Elatha opens the basket and found muffins. Elatha said in Russian.(Спасибо, старый друг.) (Meaning: Thank you old friend.) The bear looked Elatha and to Jasmine before walking over in-front of the fireplace laying down.
Grandmother Yeva and Elatha smiled. Everyone still looking around at each other. While Adrian taking pictures of the albino grizzly bear laying in front of the fireplace. Grandmother Yeva said you can leave now. Janine said I not leaving my daughter with a wild animal. Jasmine said, Mommy. You leave me with Dimitri all the time. Eddie, Adrian, Christian, Damon, and Rose busted in laughter at Jasmine's joke. Everyone one shocked to heard what came out of Jasmine's mouth.
Janine said, Jasmine! When I get back taking them to the feeders. We are going to have a long talk. Jasmine started counting to herself. When Dimitri could see Jasmine's eyes started to change color and knew Jasmine getting upset or tired of hearing about it. Dimitri said time to leave for feeders.
Dimitri said keep count and calm down. I go and speak with your mother. Tell is going on with you. Jasmine slows her breathing and keeps counting. Dimitri walked outside with everyone. Talked with Janine about the albino grizzly bear being a shapeshifter.
(Ten minutes later)
Dimitri, walking back into the house to find Jasmine moving the furniture to the side of the room. Dimitri asked what is going on? Jasmine stop and said, I move the furniture out of the way. It's time for the next test. Dimitri started to help Jasmine move the sofa out of the way. After moving the table from the kitchen to the living room. Grandmother Yeva and Elatha started setting everything up on the table. As Jasmine and Dimitri cuddling together on the sofa. Dimitri keeps looking over to the albino grizzly bear and could sleep until it was time. Elatha said Jasmine it is time. Jasmine started pulling away from Dimitri. But Dimitri pulled Jasmine back and said if you can't control yourself. Just remember to keep you breathing slowly and started counting. Jasmine smiled and I will.
Elatha said we will need the puzzle box. Dimitri said I go get it. Jasmine said it in the safe room with weapons. Dimitri moved upstairs to Jasmine's bedroom. Remember that hidden switch to open the hidden door. Push the button and the bookcase move by itself. Dimitri reached inside, found the light switch, and turn it on. The light came on show all weapons in the room. Seeing the crossbows with silver bolts, swords, silver stakes, and so much more. Seeing the leather around the puzzle box and could understand why Jasmine hid in the weapon room. Knowing that no one would find it here. Picking the puzzle box and leave the safe room and turn off the light.
Dimitri came downstairs holding the puzzle box with the leather around it. Grandmother Yeva, speaking in old Russian giving Jasmine the right of passage. Jasmine was on her knees with her hands together watch like praying. Jasmine spoke in old Russian.
Dimitri walked to hold the puzzle box. Elatha reached over to Dimitri and started undoing the ropes around the puzzle box. Dimitri stated you will get shocked if you touch it.
Elatha smiled to show her fangs to Dimitri. Dimitri questions will Jasmine be getting fangs too? Elatha said Yes. Jasmine will start to drink blood like the Moroi. Jasmine will live longer with her watcher. Unless her watcher is killed or breaks his bond with her. She will set to drift alone until a new watcher can be found. Not good for the element to drift without a watcher.
Jasmine stood up and turn to Dimitri. Grandmother Yeva said Dimka! Step forward to Jasmine. Dimitri did want his grandmother asked of him. Jasmine reached with her right hand and put on the metal in the middle of the puzzle box. Jasmine could feel the metal modeling around her fingers give her the feeling of warm metal. But it didn't burn her and felt like a magic feeling. Jasmine slowly turns her left to the air symbol and hearing a click. Dimitri watching Jasmine slowly breathing to stay calm and her eyes were golden. Jasmine moved her hand to the right to the symbol of fire and hearing the second click. Turn her back to the left to the symbol of water and heard the third click. Moving her hand to the right to Earth, and hear the four click. But nothing happens. Move her and blank and last click. When the metal that model around Jasmine moved down. Jasmine removed her hand and watched her move to the side. The puzzle boxed slowly open to reviled a scroll with the same mark of the tree.
Elatha reached inside the puzzle box and pulled out the stroll. Grandmother Yeva tells Dinka! You can set the puzzle box down now. Jasmine spin back around and walked back to her place.
Grandmother Yeva picked up a wooden bowl with marking on it and filled it with water. Elatha said the first test is water. If you control water or not. Jasmine step to the bowl started feeling magic running down her arms to her palms reaching above water started to freeze in the bowl until solid ice. Dimitri couldn't believe that Jasmine froze the water. Elatha said what else can you do with water. A few seconds later the ice started to melt and started boiling in a wood bowl. Dimitri surprise that Jasmine had the power of water.
Grandmother Yeva said That good that controls water. Let move on with the next test of air. Jasmine reached a hand up and the window open gust of wind blows through the cabin circle around Jasmine, Dimitri, Grandmother Yeva, Elatha, and out through the front door. Jasmine waved her hand closing the window.
Elatha said moving on Earth. Dimitri remembers the last time Jasmine cause an earthquake. Grandmother Yeva said Dimka go get a pot plant from the kitchen bring it here for the earth test. Dimitri walked into the kitchen and get the pot plant. Thinking to himself and what are they going to do with this pot plant. Dimitri walking back out of the kitchen to see Jasmine slowly breathing and counting to herself. Dimitri asked where do you want it? Elatha stated in front of Jasmine. Dimitri walked over to put the pot plant down on the table.
Jasmine smiled and keep counting and breathing. Dimitri said you are doing great. Jasmine reached up to her mouth and spit out one top K9 into her hand. Grandmother Yeva reached over and said it started. Taking tooth from Jasmine hand and place on the table. Jasmine looked worried. Dimitri said Baby girl. Everything will be alright this part of it. Elatha said Don't worry you understand soon what is happening to you. Let move on with the next test of Earth. Jasmine started feeling the magic moving down her arms again out of her palms. Jasmine close her eyes and started seeing the plant growing in her mine. Jasmine put fingertips on the soil.
A few seconds later, small shoot coming through the soil and growing in full side plant of the mint plant. Grandmother Yeva reached out to touch Jasmine's arm and said stop. Jasmine opens her eyes and pulled hands away to find soil to grow the plant. Jasmine asked that smell good. What is it? Grandmother Yeva said mint plant. This mine I never could get one to grow. Jasmine said, did I do that? Dimitri said Yes! Baby girl.
Grandmother Yeva said now for the last test with fire. Dimitri said I get the fire extinguisher just encase. Jasmine said we not going to need it out side. Dimitri said you do your fire test outside. Jasmine said open space just incese something happens. I don't burn down my log cabin. Dimitri said good Idea baby girl.
Jasmine walks over and picks up silver stake and put in belt and just encase something happens. "Dimitri thought it safe to have it and not need it or need it and not have it."
When the van drives through the ward. Alberta was driving and pulling up next to snow cover mustang. Janine gets out of the passage side and opens the sliding door to let the other out of the van.

Jasmine could feel the fire burn in her chest, moving down her arms out through her palms. Jasmine raised her right hand and a ball of fire appeared in her hand. Adrian and Eddie were surprised to see a ball of fire come from Jasmine's hand. The ball lifting off Jasmine and circle Jasmine. The fireball circle Jasmine two more times before slipping in two balls of fire. "Dimitri thought this new and going in journal with other information."
The fire moving up Jasmine's arms until both arms on fire. Jasmine raises her right-hand shooting jet flames and pulled it back to herself. "Dimitri thought was new and could be useful." Alberta and Janine surprise that Jasmine could control fire like that. Eddie, Christian, Vaslissa, Rose and Damon watched Jasmine.
Jasmine threw a fireball and tried to pull it back to her. But fireball hit a tree and catching the whole tree a fire. Jasmine said, oops! Elatha said you have a lifetime to work on that. Don't worry about it. Elatha raised her hands making the snow lifted off the ground and put out the tree.
Grandmother Yeva said now it's time to finish before the change. Dimitri, Jasmine, Elatha and Grandmother Yeva, and everyone else started walked back into the log cabin. The albino grizzly bear had disappeared and now there sits a nude man on the sofa. Jasmine's mouth drop open. Dimitri grabbed Jasmine, spin her around, and pulled her to his chest. Dimitri lean down and whisper into Jasmine's ear and said don't you dare look at his nude body. The only nude body that you can look at is mine alone.
Christian said where the hell did he come from? Elatha said Hello! Kuma Auberon. Good to see you change back to normal. Kuma said good to be back to normal. Vasilisa looked at Rose and said where did the albino grizzly bear go?
Dimitri said can you please put some clothes on your body. I don't want Jasmine seeing your nude body. Kuma said I understand that you trying to keep the element pure. Until it time to make your bond with her. Dimitri said Damn right.
Grandmother Yeva said Dimka. Go upstairs and find something that Kuma Auberon can put on. Dimitri pulled Jasmine's head up and said don't look at him and don't move understand? Jasmine nods her head. Dimitri ran upstairs to find him something put on. Rose and Vaslissa moved Jasmine's side asked what is going on? Jasmine said The albino grizzly turn into Kuma Auberon. Because he is a shapeshifter.

Jasmine's other top K9 tooth came out. Elatha said we need to finish it before fangs come in. My time is growing short and she just began. Vaslissa said Jasmine will get fangs like us Moroi? Elatha said Yes!
Kuma Auberon said let get the show on the road. Asking both Jasmine and Elatha please step forward and face each other. Both Jasmine and Elatha came face to face.
Grandmother Yeva had a box of salt started putting a circle of salt around Jasmine and Elatha. Kuma Auberon started chanting in a different language. Yeva said Dimka! Stand on Jasmine right and wait when the right time gives it Elatha the scroll. Dimitri picked up the scroll and walked next to Jasmine's right side. Grandmother Yeva told everyone to make a circle around them and hold hands and watch. Everyone standing next to each other around Jasmine and Elatha.
