Dimitri and Jasmine were heading to the meeting room. Jasmine asked what going on? Dimitri said one of the students is having disciplinary issues. Jasmine asked, which student? Dimitri said, Roza. Jasmine cocked her head and looked puzzled that Rose would have disciplinary issues. Dimitri asked, why do you cock your head? Jasmine said when I am puzzled about something. Dimitri said, interesting. Both Dimitri and Jasmine walked into the meeting. Dimitri told Jasmine to watch and stay quietly. Jasmine nods her head at Dimitri finding their seat. Discover, the Rosie disciplinary issues already started. Jasmine remembers the look on Rosie's face as if she saw a spirit or strigoi.
Alberta, Emil, and Celeste sat at a long table, looking imposing, while Rose sat in a single chair and felt very vulnerable.
"Alberta said, Miss Hathaway." We have a hard time believing you. Alberta says Guardian Alto and Jasmine Hathaway report said You refused to protect two Moroi - including the one whose protection you were specifically assigned to. Jasmine cocked her head to Alberta's statement of having Jasmine report. Jasmine turns her head to Dimitri and says in a low voice that can't be right. Dimitri turn his head, looking at Jasmine, and asked, what do you mean? Jasmine said I don't understand how do they have my report. When I haven't turned it into Alberta yet.
Dimitri looked surprise to find out Jasmine hadn't turn her report in. Remember when Dimitri find Jasmine in the cafeteria. Jasmine was writing a report on a fight that she watched. It must have been Roza fight." Dimitri asked do you have your report with you? Jasmine unzipped her jacket, reached inside her pocket, and pulled it out. Dimitri reach took Jasmine's report and stood up.
Dimitri said, Guardian Petrov. Alberta said, Guardian Belikov. Is there something that you would like to say? Dimitri said Yes! Guardian Petrov. Dimitri walking over and stood next to Rose. Saying I believe the report in front of you is fake. Because I have Jasmine statement right here with me. Alberta asked, why do you think the statement is fake? Holding his hand up, and said I have here Jasmine Hathaway's true report about what happens with Stun Alto attacked Rose Hathaway.
Alberta said Is Jasmine Hathaway here now?
Jasmine raised from her seat and said in a calming voice Yes, Captain Alberta. Alberta said, please come to the table and bring your report with you. Jasmine walked over to Dimitri and took her report walking over to the table.
"Alberta said, Now take a look at this report and tell us if this you hand writing?" Jasmine looked down for a few seconds and looked back up at Alberta. Say in a clear voice no, Captain Alberta it isn't my hand writing. Alberta reaches her right hand out to Jasmine. Jasmine hand her report to Captain Alberta. Alberta unfolded Jasmine's report and different hand writing all together.
Jasmine flicked her eyes over Stan Alto. Observe his face look concerned about something. Moving her eyes back on Alberta, Emil, and Celeste watch their faces when they read Jasmine's true report about what happened before, middle, and after Stan attacked Rose. Alberta looked up at Jasmine. Saying Thank you for this new information on what you full view what happened. It has clear up a lot of questions for us. Now please return to your seat. Jasmine said Yes, Captain Alberta. Turn around walk right by Rose look down at her. Rose was looking at Jasmine's eyes looked sad about something. Making Rose feel that there something wrong. But she couldn't put her finger on it.
Alberta, Emil, and Celeste started reading Jasmine's true statement about what happened to Rose's attack. They find the handwriting was different from the fake report. Finding Jasmine stated a lot more than what was in both reports. They had a whispered conference. Alberta gave a resigned nod, and the others leaned back.
"Alberta said Miss Hathaway, do you have anything you'd like to say before we tell you our conclusions?" Rose said in a meek voice no, Guardian Petrov.
Because the suspicion isn't entirely removed, you'll be spending your day off this week doing community service." Rose started to rise and said what? Dimitri's hand wrapped around my wrist, his fingers warm and controlling. "Sit down," he murmured in my ear, tugging me toward the chair. "Take what you can get." If that's a problem, we can make it next week too," warned Celeste. "And the next five after that." Rose sat down and shook her head. "I'm sorry. Thank you."
After Rosie's disciplinary issues, Alberta told Rose to go find Christian. But Dimitri asked if he could have some time alone with Rose. Alberta agreed, no doubt hoping Dimitri set Rose on the straight and narrow. Dimitri took Rose a water dispenser, coffee, and other beverages. Do you want some hot chocolate? Rose said Sure. Dimitri said doubling it is the secret," he said when the cups were full. Dimitri turns his head to find Jasmine and Guardian Petrov talking about something important about Guardian Stan Alto. The reason Dimitri knew that because Jasmine had pointed her finger at him. Dimitri wish could understand what is being said. Seeing Guardian Petrov's face change, when looked over Stan Alto and back to Jasmine giving nod with a smile.
Dimitri and Rose stepped through the doorway and found both of them in a little glass-enclosed porch filled with small patio tables. Rose had no idea this porch was adjacent to the meeting room. Dimitri swept his hand over a chair, brushing off the dust. Rose did the same and sat down opposite him.
Dimitri asked what happened out there? You didn't crack under the pressure. Rose was looking down into her cup say unless you believe Stan report. I did let Stan 'attack' Christian" Dimitri said I don't believe that. I never did. I knew you'd be unhappy. When you found out about the assignments. But I never once doubted that you'd do what you'd have to for this. I knew you wouldn't let your personal feelings get in the way of your duty." Jasmine thought that this would make you a stronger fighter if you weren't around Vislissa all the time.
Rose flicked her eyes up at Dimitri, Asking what does my sister have to do with my assignments to Christian? Dimitri said Jasmine help with assignments. Believing if you weren't around Vislissa all the time. You wouldn't miss something if it happen. Besides working with Christian might help you in long run.
Rose said, Jasmine knows that Vislissa means a lot to me. Dimitri just looked at Rose and said it seems that you care more for Vislissa. Then you care about what is happening with your twin sister Jasmine right now. Rose said I care about Jasmine. Dimitri said actions speak louder than words. Roza.
Rose looked down at cocoa again. Remembering Jasmine's sad eyes when seen her earlier. Realized that Jasmine was lost in the storm. Dimitri asked, did you ever stop to think about the kind of stuff that Jasmine might be going through? Rose said No! Jasmine always seems strong. I guess that Jazz has been hiding it from us.
Dimitri said Jasmine crying out for help. But all of you seem always too busy to help her. But Jasmine would be there if you need help. Rose keeps looking at cocoa and realized that being a bad sister to Jasmine.
Dimitri said the night we return from the mountains. The way Vislissa, Eddie, Adrian, and Christian were happy to see you. The way they treated Jasmine acting like she wasn't standing there at all. They never spoke to Jasmine or asked what happen to her. They acted as if Jasmine wasn't standing or care about her. They all want to talk to you. Vislissa, Eddie, Adrian, and Christian hasn't spoken to Jasmine almost two months and You haven't spoke to in month.
Rose feeling bad about leaving her twin sister alone for so long. Rose realized that need to talk to the others about Jasmine. Asking are we done here? Dimitri just looked at Rose. Rose said I need to go found Christian.
Dimitri walked out of Meeting Hall and walking out in the night winter air. Getting blasted cold air in his face taking breath away. Started heading to the tower. When Dimitri's cellphone ringing. Making reaching down into his pocket and pulling out his cellphone. Seeing the name of the caller ID was Belikov.
Dimitri's answer said Hello in Russian. When Grandmother Yeva voice said Dimka. I calling to inform you the watchers and I will be arriving at the academy in three hours. I want you to come with meet us on airstrip. Dimitri could his grandmother voice was hard and stronger. Each word
Dimitri turn around and started walking to Alberta's office still on phone. Being surprising that his Grandmother Yeva and the watchers would be arriving airport in three hours. Grandmother Yeva said make sure that Jasmine doesn't come with you. Jasmine said the for her safe with a guardians around her.
Dimitri thought his grandmother had a lot of secrets. Finding that she knew the watcher over the element. Understand why his grandmother sent Jasmine the tea and sure Jasmine drink it. Hung up with Grandmother Yeva and heading to Alberta office.
Walking up to Alberta's office door and knocked on the door. Hearing Alberta's voice said, come in a forced voice. Dimitri opens the door and walks inside. Finding Stan Alto sitting in front of Alberta's desk. Dimitri could tell Alberta wasn't in the mood for Stan's shit right now.
Alberta said, Stan can you tell me why in hell would you write Jasmine Hathaway's statement about what happened, Rose? Stan said I didn't write it. Alberta said, stop with bullshit Stan. I saw your face. When Jasmine hands me her report. Understand you are in big trouble for fraud a statement to make you look more valued. Jasmine stated that seem Guardian Alto seems happy to be attacking Rose Hathaway maybe for some past grievances or yelling matches that two get in class. Stan just looked at Alberta with an upset look on his face.
Stan said why would Jasmine Hathaway say something like that for gaurdians? Alberta said because I told Jasmine Hathaway to write down everything that sees with the students and the guardians. Stan was surprising that Jasmine writes that because happy to attack Rose. Alberta said, do it again. I will report you. Stan said I understand! But understand that I didn't write her report. Stan jump to his feet and said we done. I have things to do. Started walking by Dimitri. Looking Dimitri in eyes before walking out Alberta office.
Alberta said, now, what can I do for you, Guardian Belikov? Dimitri said I am here to inform you that I just received a call from my grandmother that watchers will be arriving airport in three hours. Alberta's head snapped up from looking at the papers on her desk. Saying that doesn't give us much time to get everything in order on their arrival.
Dimitri said Grandmother inform me that Jasmine must stay at the academy under the safety of guardians until the meeting takes place and time. That will see a change in Jasmine tomorrow or the next day. Jasmine will come more alive. Alberta said that good to know. Dimitri said Grandmother haves more information what everything that will take place. Alberta said something tells me that the next few days will something.
