(December 16)

Jasmine stood on the porch next to the rail and views of the mountains. Feeling air was mild and warm, and the sun hung bright in the sky, coating everything in golden light. Hearing the birds sing in the sky. Feel the sunshine down her face and chest.

Jasmine was wearing a Spaghetti Two Piece Bridesmaid Dresses in the red. "Adrian said you look nice litte nova." Jasmine turns her head to see Adrian sitting in a rocking chair drinking a beer. "Jasmine said the mountains are so beautiful in summer and cold as shit in winter. By way thank you stopping the nightmare." "Adrian asked what was nightmare about?" "Jasmine said I was having a nightmare about Victor Dashkov. Victor turn strigoi and was after Vasilisa again." "Adrian said Victor Dashkov is prison for what he did to Vasilisa." "Jasmine said I know."

"Adrian walked next to Jasmine and said we have all been worried about you it has been five long days. That was a rotten trick that Tasha did to you. That little Dhampier was upset for the past five days. Christian shouted at his Aunt Tasha for not showing respect to you and trying to kill you again. Vasilisa has cried a few days in Christian arms. Eddie keep eyes on Tasha and reported her to the court about trying to kill you. Guardian Hathaway has been on telephone with the court and someone else. She seems so sad what Tasha did you."

"Jasmine looked at Adrian and said Eddie been a good little soldier for reporting it to the court. Because of Tasha's action against the guardian under rule 15 -26 B under the guardian code. Any act that Moroi does to anyone's guardian is punishable by law and from that act will get their guardian stripped away." "Adrian said did you just quote the law at me?"

"Jasmine said Yes! You make sure Eddie knows about rule 15-26 B under the guardian code. If you need evidence called Captain Alberta at St. Vladimir's Academy, and inform her what Tasha has done. Captain Alberta will take steps to have all information and evidence to show that Tasha Ozera has done this before." "Adrian said Damn little nova. It seems you had safe net in place if Tasha every try again to kill you." Jasmine smiled at Adrian showing her fangs and nod. "Adrian said that my girl."

"Adrian said I have good news to report to you. Rose, Christian, Eddie, Vasilisa, Janine, and I are no longer staying at Tasha's house. Janine has moved us all to Hampton Inn Middletown." "Jasmine asked did you get my stuff from the Tasha residence?" "Adrian said No! We forget it." "Jasmine stated I have to go back to Tasha's residence to get myself stuff. That alright, I forgive you, Uncle." "Adrian said Well, Thank you!"

"Jasmine said, I think it time to wake. I meet you later at Hampton Inn Middletown." "Adrian said OK!"

Jasmine started fading from dream. Jasmine could see Adrian smiled at her.


Jasmine wakes up in a hospital bed. Dimitri was sleeping right next to Jasmine in the same bed with his arm across her waist and snuggle up to her with his head in her neck. Jasmine opens her eyes and started to move. "Dimitri whispers into Jasmine's ear say, baby girl. You know you scared me almost to death." Jasmine turns head and looked into Dimitri's eyes. Dimitri could see that Jasmine's eyes were golden look back at him. "Saying sorry! It not my fault." "Dimitri said I know baby girl and don't worry your mother has take steps to make that bitch Tasha pay." "Jasmine said that sound like my mother."

Dimitri leaned in and started kissing with passion, love, and desire. Jasmine reached to put a hand on the back of his neck. There was a knock on the door. Dimitri pulled away and looked at the door. The door opens a red hair female nurse walked into the room. "Saying my name is nurse Trisha Conner. I came to check on our patient to see how is she doing? "Jasmine said better." "Trisha said that great to hear that your doing better," "Trisha asked, could please sit up. So that I could check on your breathing."

Dimitri got up from the bed and stood next to the bed. Jasmine sits up could see that still wearing her clothes that she came in.

Trisha, taking a stethoscope from around her neck and putting in-ears and putting on Jasmine's chest. Soon Trisha touched Jasmine send a shock making Trisha jump. "Trisha said that hurt!" Both Jasmine and Dimitri looked at Trisha."Dimitri asked everything alright?" "Trisha said I just get shocked by Jasmine. It just a little static electricity nothing to worry about.

"Jasmine asked are you related to Elatha Conner?" "Trisha said that is my Great Grandmother. Asking do you know her?" "Jasmine said she always seem like angel to me." Dimitri understood what Jasmine was getting at. "Dimitri asked how is she doing?" "Trisha said I just talked to last night and she doing great." Jasmine and Dimitri knew that Elatha Conner wasn't in world anymore. This woman was lyeing to them.

Jasmine asked I would like to leave now. Dimitri understood that Jasmine want to leave. "Trisha said I get the paper work together before you can leave." Dimitri could tell that Jasmine felt uneasy around her. "Dimitri looked at Jasmine and said that would be a good idea. We have things to do and parties to get to."


(Hour and ten minutes later)

Dimitri and Jasmine walked back inside Tasha's house to found Tasha sitting on the couch reading a mystery book. Tasha turns her head to find Jasmine standing behind Dimitri." Tasha jumped to her feet and demanded what the hell is that bitch doing in my house?" "Dimitri said Jasmine came to get her stuff and soon be leaving to join her family for Christmas." "Tasha said hurry up get you shit out of my house."

Dimitri and Jasmine walked upstairs together. Entering Dimitri's bedroom, and said I sorry has been the worst Christmas that you have ever had. Christian wants to give you the best Christmas. Because Roze and yourself never had a good Christmas together. " "Jasmine looked at Dimitri and said at least Pyro tried to give a normal Christmas. But next year, I pick the place and people." Dimitri smiled and laugh.

"Jasmine said but right now we need to pack." "Dimitri asked what do you mean that we have to pack?" "Jasmine said did you forget the law. Under rule 15 -26 B under the guardian code. It states Any act that Moroi does to anyone's guardian is punishable by law and from that act will get their guardian stripped away." Dimitri looked down at Jasmine and said your right is her second attack on you. Mean one more than her ass gets sent to prison."

(Ten minutes later)

Jasmine and Dimitri walked downstairs to the living room together. Tasha had her arms cross and tapping her foot think that she won a prize or something. Jasmine and Dimitri stopped in front of Tasha. "Jasmine said in a calm voice, it seems that Natasha Ozera is acting like a spoiled rich child. Not realizing the truth that lies before her." "Tasha said what the hell are you talking about?" "Dimitri said under the guardian code 15 - 26 B. any act that Moroi does to anyone's guardian is punishable by law and from that act will get their guardian stripped away."

Tasha looked surprised at Jasmine and Dimitri. As if someone just slapped the shit out of her. "Tasha said you can't take Dimka!" "Jasmine said it already too late Natasha Ozera. By your own acts this second count on my life. The court has been informed that is your second count on my life. As this day forward Guardian Dimitri Belikov is no longer your guardian. Have a nice day Natasha Ozera." Dimitri and Jasmine's turn started heading for the front door. "Tasha screaming no please no." Tasha realizing that her world following apart when that Christian upset with her and Dimitri was gone. Sitting back on the sofa started to cry.

(Ten minutes later)

Dimitri and Jasmine arrive at Hampton Inn Middletown inside the hotel together. Janine, walking around the corner to find Jasmine and Dimitri walking through the front doors. Janine walked up to Dimitri and Jasmine. "Dimitri said, Guardian Hathaway." "Janine said Jasmine go and find Christian and return to college." "Jasmine asked something wrong, Mommy?" "Janine said it seem that Victor Dashkov had broken out of prison."

"Jasmine asked where was the late place that you saw Pyro at?" "Janine said with Rose and Vasilisa at the bar with Adrian. Jasmine started walking to the bar to get Pryo to inform him that going back to college.

Jasmine walked into the bar and discover her friends sitting around a table playing a drinking game together. Jasmine walked up to the table and watched Adrian made the quarter bounce off the table and going to land in a shot glass. Jasmine reached out and grabbed the quarter out of the air. As they wait for the quarter to land in a shot glass. "Adrian said, where did the quarter go?" "Jasmine said do you mean this quarter. Jasmine holds in the right hand between thumb and pointer finger. "Rose said sit downplay with us." "Jasmine said sorry guys. Pyro and I have to leave. You might not know that Victor Dashkov had just broken out of prison." Making Christian, Rose, Eddie, Vasilisa, and Adrian look at Jasmine's surprise on their faces.

"Eddie and Rose say, Victor Dashkov." Vasilisa looked worried! "Christian said Jazz. Your dream is come to pass. Jasmine said, let hope the other two parts don't come past. Adrian asked, what is that? Jasmine said Victor turns strigoi and goes after Vasilisa. Rose said I have to portent Visilisa from Victor. Jasmine just looked at Rose. "Jasmine reached down grabs Christian arm, and said come on Pyro! You need to pack. We will be leaving sooner than we thought."

"Vasilisa said what about our family Christmas?" "Jasmine said this family Christmas sucks just like the other ones came before it." "Adrian asked little nova. Have you ever had good Chrismas? "Jasmine said last Christmas that we had with mom. Before she sent us to the academy. But after that no!

"Jasmine said every Christmas I was always alone. I would wish Christmas stars every year. I could have our family back together for Christmas our mother, father, and sister. But my wish never came true. I guess our father is busy to even show up. Just like my sister and Vasilisa. When they vow to come to the tower every year. They always end up going to everyone's Christmas parties and drink. When they knew they need to be somewhere else."

Janine overheard Jasmine's Christmas wish to have her family together. Started thinking Jasmine want to have the best Christmas with her mother and father with her sister. But Victor Dashkov and Tasha Ozera are taking her last chance from good Christmas with her family away. Thinking one day Jasmine you will best Christmas. I will make sure you will. Watching Jasmine drag Christian behind to elevator to leave unhappy.

Jasmine said in March. Don't worry I take care of everything. Dimitri said I could come with you to California state. Jasmine said, Cowboy! Vasilisa needs it right now and with Victor out of prison. Soon we are together again.
