(The next day)
Dimitri and Alberta escorted both Rose and Jasmine to their first class. Dimitri thought it ridiculous to guard two students so closely. Knowing Rose was so slippery and could escape almost anything. Jasmine was a good fighter and gifted. Knowing both of them wound under close observation for a long time.
We reached the gym watching Jasmine and Rose walking over a group of novice boys talking. How quickly both Jasmine and Rose were accepted back into the group.
"Rose said more important talk about my ass." "Mason said Jasmine's chest." "Both Rose and Jasmine said Quit while your head Mason." Dimitri's gaze became the angry boy's for talking both of them like that. Watching tall boy dhampir boy making moves on Jasmine putting his arm around Jasmine's waist, and pulling her close to him. Leaning down and whispering something in her ear.
(A few seconds later.)
The boy flipping over on hitting the ground. Making Dimitri smile to see that Jasmine put his ass. Eddie smiled and looked up at Jasmine. "Saying Jasmine you always could sweep me off my feet any day of the week." "Jasmine said, Eddie! You so easy take-down."
Dimitri set to his workout.
Occasionally Dimitri looking over when something caught his attention. Seeing Rose was getting beaten by red hair male dhampir. Turn his head over where Jasmine was standing in front of an instructor. The instructor throws a punch at Jasmine ducking the instructor punches and knocking him off his feet. Seeing this instructor was tall with dark hair and blue eyes. The instructor getting back on his feet. Watching instructor moved behind Jasmine putting his around her Jasmine's neck. Keep watching them. Watch Jasmine putting her hands to protect her neck. Step forward, step through moved shoulder out of the way, and hugging his body and moving way. The instructor moved on Jasmine again in second later the instructor hit the ground.
Dimitri smiled to see Jasmine kicking the instructor's ass. Seeing this instructor was tall with dark hair and blue eyes. The instructor getting back on his feet. Walking over the bench, picking up two water bottles, and walking back to Jasmine. Telling myself doesn't mean anything.
Complete my workout. Dimitri left the gym.
Heading toward the staff showers, stop that his get ready for my next guarding shift.
Seeing one other instructor asking about the dark head with blue eyes. Founding out that was Guardian Damon.
Dimitri remembers Vasilisa said something about Damon in SUV before the attack on Jasmine.
Thinking he would ask Jasmine about that later.
(Bodyguard's theory and Personal Protection)
Dimitri was standing at the back of Stan Alto Bodyguard's theory and Personal Protection class. Dimitri couldn't breathe when Rose and Jasmine walking in with Vasilisa. They keep the princess safe. "Stan spoke addressed Rose and Jasmine. Saying look here everyone. We have guest speakers here today? Miss Rose and Miss Jasmine Hathaway. This true privilege! How very generous of you to take time out of your busy schedules. Share your knowledge with us on the right way to protect Princess Vasilisa Dragomir safe."
"Stan asked both Jasmine and Rose Enlighten us about your protective techniques for keeping Princess Vasilisa Dragomir safe if you run into a Strigoi?" "Jasmine said the first thing. Is the location and fast root to get away without having to fight." The other guardians in the room would agree with Jasmine's statement.
Stan walked over to Jasmine and stood before her. "Stan asked have you ever seen Strigoi?" "Jasmine said Yes!" "Stan asked have you ever fight Strigoi?" "Jasmine said Yes!" "Stan says kill Strigoi?" "Jasmine said Yes!" Which took Stan by surprise to find out Jasmine had faced strigoi, and killed a strigoi. "Stan said I don't believe you." Jasmine turn around and lifted her braids hair to show of one Molnija mark on the back of her neck to show that one represent a Strigoi she killed.
"Dimitri said Last night. Jasmine fights four Strigoi's by herself saving Rose, Princess Vasilisa Dragomir, four guardians, and myself."
"Stan said Well! I can see one of the twins has good fortune as a guardian. As for the other one still unclear."
Stan turning from Jasmine to Rose.
"Stan saying now, Rose. Tell us what were you Enlighten us about your protect techniques on keeping Princess Vasilisa Dragomir safe from Strigoi?" Rose went to say something. When Stan would cut off Rose. Stan progressing with his questioning Rose and cutting her off before she could answer the questions. Seeing Rosa getting angrier and even he started yelled in Rose's face a few inches away from her.
"When Jasmine stood up from her seat and said instructor Stan. Do I need to remind you of your instructor at this academy as a teacher? Please remove yourself from Rose's face and calm down. What you are doing is the emotional abuse of a student. I believe that you have across the line. By getting a few inches in Rose's face. I found your line of questioning ridiculous. Don't give Rose time is answer the question, before spit out any stupid question. So take a few steps back and calm down."
"Stan said shut your fucking mouth." Jasmine said, guardian. Please remove instructor Stan from the classroom. On the base enlighten not an abuse of students.
Dimitri couldn't believe what Jasmine did was the right call. One of the guardians start moving downstairs and remove the instructor Stan from the class room. Jasmine sit back down and reached in pocket pulling out her pills. "Dimitri walked over and said you make the right call on calling him out like that." "Jasmine said Thank you! So what now?"
All the other students started talking about Jasmine fighting the strigoi saving Vislissa, Rose and the guardians.
"Rose looked at Jasmine said Thank you!" Jasmine smiled!
When there was a knock on the door. "Guardian Damon opens the door, walked in, and said, Jasmine Hathaway." "Jasmine said Yes! "Guardian Damon said Captain Alberta would like to talk with you about last night."
Jasmine closes her book and notepad. Picking up stuff with her backpack.
Dimitri walked behind Jasmine and said I will be taking her to the Alberta office. Besides students need a new teacher. The other kids started talking loud.
"Alberta said I read Guardian Belikov's report about what happened with the Strigoi late at night. There were a few things that I found odd about his report. Guardian Belikov stated that you used fire like a Moroi."
"Jasmine said it true! I can you magic like Moroi. But I am a dhampier." Jasmine put a right hand out in front of her palm up. When a ball of fire appeared in her hand. "Dimitri said Put it out!" Jasmine started to close her hand around the ball of fire until the ball of fire was out. Jasmine opens her hand showing the fire was out and no burn marks on her hand. Alberta looked surprised at Jasmine for using magic like Moroi.
"Alberta said when did it appear?" "Jasmine said a week after the attack in the hospital wing. When I wake up from a nightmare. Screaming and both hands wear on fire. I had my hands out and my hands were on fire. It lasted a few seconds and disappeared. But the fire didn't hurt me. "Alberta said we smelled smoke in the room. but couldn't fire it." "Alberta said what was happening to you I could understand that you want to hind it from everyone. Now it has been three years. Now we just found out about it. Asked what kind of things can do with power?" "Jasmine said I throw fireballs and jets of fires. I have been working on a wall of fire." "Alberta said we will found someone who helps you control it. But for now, we keep it a secret." "Dimitri said It would best for now to hind it. Until Jasmine can control it fully."
"Alberta said Did you use it to fight the Strigoi?" "Jasmine said Yes!" "Alberta said I wished I could see you using your magic." Jasmine reached down and open the backpack pulling a disk out. 'Jasmine saying the necklaces that I made for Rose, Princess Vasilisa, and myself are special. Inside is a GPS and video camera. Just in case something happens, and I saw and found them at any time. This is footage of what happened last night with the Strigoi. This footage comes from the Princess Vasilisa video camera.
Alberta and Dimitri found it surprising that Jasmine used her brains and smarts to make something beautiful and useful. Alberta reached over taking the disk.
Alberta walking around her desk and putting the disk on the computer. Started watching the video footage. Getting see how brave Jasmine was last and Alberta watched the footage from last night when Jasmine took four Strigoi alone. When it was over. "Alberta said Wow!" Standing getting hold of herself. "Jasmine said you keep the disk for the report." "Alberta said Thank you! Now it time for you to reserve your four molnijas marks for the strigoi killed last night."
Jasmine stood up. Picking up a backpack and holding a book with her notebook. "Dimitri said your smart girl. Making something beautiful and useful. Holding GPS and video camera inside of them keep both Roze and Princess Vasilisa under guard all time. When you are not around them." "Jasmine said thank you, Cowboy!" Alberta looked at both of them and smiled. "Alberta could understand why Jasmine gives Guardian Belikov a nickname. Thinking he does look like a cowboy with that duster on.
Dimitri and Alberta escorted Jasmine to the guardian's building. So that Jasmine could reserve your new four molnijas marks.
All the guardians on campus attended. When the ceremony started. The guardians fell into orderly ranks without being told and watched Jasmine. Dimitri walked by Jasmine's side to a stool in the corner of the room. Jasmine sat on the stool in the corner of the room. Leaning forward with long braids pulled over her head to show off the back of her neck.
Behind Jasmine, a guardian named Lionel held a tattooist's needle to the back of Jasmine's neck. Before Lionel started. Lionel had a murmured conversation with Alberta and Dimitri. She won't have a promise mark," Lionel said. "Lionel stated she hasn't graduated," "Alberta said it happens. Jasmine made the kills. Do the two next to the first one and space, when she graduates mark will be, and two other sides. Dimitri said that gives Jasmine five kills altogether.
Considering the pain Jasmine regularly put herself through, Jasmine didn't expect the tattoos to hurt as much as they did. But Jasmine bit my lip and stayed silent as Lionel made the marks.
The process seemed to go on forever. When Lionel finished, Lionel produced a couple of mirrors, and with some maneuvering, Jasmine was able to see the back of my neck. See new four tiny black marks sat there next first one. three on side and two on the other side of the neck in space for promise mark later to go later.
Lionel bandaged them up and gave Jasmine some instructions about caring for them while they healed.
All the gathered guardians came up to me one by one. They each gave Jasmine some sort of sign of affection- a hug, a kiss on the cheek- and kind words.
"Alberta said Congratulations!" Her weathered face was gentle as she pulled Jasmine into a tight embrace. Whispering in Jasmine's ear you make me so proud. Soon I will found someone helps you.
Dimitri didn't say anything when his turn came.
"Damon's turn came said Congratulations and so proud of you. So you have five kills now." Pulled Jasmine's hug with him.
Dimitri was watching Damon acting around Jasmine and didn't like it.
Dimitri watched Damon and Jasmine talking to each other and walking over to food table. Damon turns his head to speak to someone. Watching Jasmine putting tomatoes on Damon's plate. when he wasn't watching. Jasmine moved way before Damon realized more on his plate. Dimitri thought what is the reason why wouldn't Jasmine eat the tomatoes.
Dimitri reached the door to his bed room. Going inside and flopping on the bed. Not bothering to change and setting his alarm. Fell asleep instantly, and after what seemed like minutes gone by the alarm blared. Dimitri started rubbing his eyes with his big hands and setting up. Feeling even worse than before I had slept. Getting change into clean, comfortable clothes and heading to the gym.
Founding Jasmine sitting on a mat and looking at a calculus book. Looking so confused about it. Dimitri looking around and not seeing Rose anywhere. "Dimitri walking over and asked Jasmine where is Rose?" Not getting an answer from her. Reaching down and tapping her on the shoulder. Jasmine looked up and reached up pulling the ear pod out of her ear.
"Jasmine said Hello Cowboy. I don't understand this calculus. It all Greek to me." "Dimitri said Hello! Jazz". Dimitri found out Jasmine need help at something was first for him. "Dimitri asking where is Roza?" "Jasmine said Maybe with Vasilisa." "Dimitri telling her to stay on the mat until I return with Roze and keep working on her Math."
Dimitri turns around leaving the gym to found Rosa. A few minutes later, founding Rose sitting on a bench. Looking out of it. Dimitri moves closer seeing her eyes glaze over as if she was in trance. Bending down next to her and looking in eyes. Seeing that Rose's eyes had changed color in gold color. Dimitri waited in silence expecting this to be some sort of trick. Dimitri realized that wasn't the case and panic set in. Calling Rose's name out few times. But not getting an answer at all. Dimitri said frantically as he shook Rose shoulders. Hoping this wasn't some sort of stress reaction from everything that has happened. Dimitri saw Rose consciousness return.
"Dimitri asked are you alright?" Rose looked at Dimitri. "Rose said I was in Lissa's head." "Dimitri looked worried and asked how Lissa's head?" "Rose said It's part of the bond." She looked away from him and I could tell she didn't want to discuss it. "Dimitri asks is alright?" "Rose said Lissa, not in danger."
Dimitri could tell that learning a lot about them. Seeing more about Jasmine and Rose both brings something to the table. Knowing both of them at a different place in fight skill. But when he was done they will be at the same place. Fight force and deadly to stand against Best to guard the Princess Vasilisa Dragomir.
Dimitri and Rose walking into the gym. When Jasmine threw the math book across the room and saying Math is stupid. "Rose said does that make you feel better?" "Jasmine said No!" But this might when ball fire appeared in Jazz's hand. Dimitri knew she was about to throw the fireball at the math book. "Dimitri said put it out." Jazz slowly closes her hand putting the fireball out. "Dimitri saying will work on math later. But right now. You need to burn off the energy that you have inside. I want you both to give me some laps." "Rose said take one of your pills." Jazz reached in a pocket and take the pill bottle out. Taking one of the pills and drinking it down with water.
Jasmine gets off a mat. Reaching down picking up mp3 player, putting ear pods in and player on her belt. Started walking out the back doors. Rose walked behind Jasmine. Walking on to the field. Jasmine started stretching before running. Dimitri watching Jazz pulling leg over the head. Founding at she was flexible.
Dimitri pulled out his book and sit down on the bench. Started reading everyone once in while looking up to make sure both girl still running. Seeing both girls still running on the track. Going back to his book. Looking up and founding both girls were gone. Looking down at his watch founding it had been about an hour and half later.
Dimitri realizing Rose and Jasmine have to give him the slipped. Thinking how in the hell both of realized I wasn't paying any mind to both of them. "Saying shit! I guess that keeps my eyes on both of them from now on or they pill fast on me again."Getting from his seat walking back in Gym found the lights were off. Walking through know it was the problem for not keeping an eye on both of them.
