(January 25)
Jasmine walked to Adrian's door and knocked on the door. Waiting for Adrian to come to the door. The door open and said, "Rose." Jasmine said, "Wrong! Uncle Adrian!" Adrian said, Little Nova. When did you grow up?" Jasmine said, "Earlier. Are you going to arrive me so that we talk?" Adrian said, "Please come in." Jasmine walked stop at the bar and started fixing two drinks. Jasmine turns, walked over to the couch. Handing one of the drinks to Adrian, and sit down on the couch.
Adrian asked, "So what do you want to talk about?" Jasmine said, "My powers. I guess figure out different other Dhampirs?" Adrian said, "You are Element."
Jasmine said, "What do you know about Element?" Adrian said, Well most powerful creature that walks this planet. Element is female Dhampirs that have the power inside of them. They can be one of four elements Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Because you haven't specialized. But that you had these weird abilities" Jasmine cocked her head at Adrian and looked puzzled.
Adrian said, "Let looked at the clues. Can you use fire? Jasmine holds her hand up and ball fire appeared in her hand. Adrian asked, Does it burn you? Jasmine said, "No! It tickles!" Close her hand around the ball fire and open show there were no burn marks. Adrian asked, "How about wind?" Jasmine looked at the window it open by itself a gust of wind came into the room. Around Adrian and Jasmine going back out of the wind and close the window. Adrian was surprised! Adrian said what about water? Jasmine reached over to the glass on the table and touching making freeze the glass and froze the scotch in the glass. Adrian said, "Don't have to worry about ice cubes anymore." Jasmine giggled at Adrian joke. Adrian asked, what about the earth? Jasmine said, "The last time cause an earthquake." Adrian said, I remembering hearing about that 5.0. scale.
Adrian asked, "What our things can you do?" Jasmine said, "I can see the echo of the past events. So what does that mean? Jasmine said en-print an event or something that happens in past. Like pictures in my mind or event that happen. By touching the ground with fingertips. That is how we found out Badica house there were humans working with strigoi." Adrian said, So your the one found out that human was working with strigoi and guardians." Jasmine nod her head yes!
The other day you healed Eddie's neck in the cafeteria. Jasmine said I remember that I could see your auras in the Cafeteria. I was confused and surprise at what came from you. I felt your feeling when sitting down. Adrian said, "You felt my feelings?" Adrian said, That spirit power."
Adrian said, "Christian stated in Ms. Meissner Class. That took his power and making the fire go out around Ray." Jasmine said, "Yes! By touching his hand and face. My hands were warm and my eyes change color to gold. I could wave Christian magic going up my arms."
Adrian said, "Dimitri stated Tasha threw a fireball at you wave it off like a bug." Jasmine said," I was pissed off and disgusted by the sight. I could have to kill Tasha!" Adrian said, "Tasha tell anyone about you having powers Vasilisa and I make her sound crazy." Jasmine said, "Everyone already thinks that crazy. You do that for me?" Arida said, "Yes!"
Adrian said, "I am surprised that must something the only element can do is take someone fire and make fly different way from you. I think your power might growing and soon you be able to lot more just this. We will have to wait and see.
Jasmine said, "You know what funny. At the lodge, Tasha tried to use compelled me and didn't work. The look on her face was priceless." Adrian said, Hold up! Are you saying that compelled doesn't work on you?" Jasmine said, Yes! Vasilisa tried and didn't work. Maybe if you try to compel me to make sure it does or doesn't work. Adrian looked Jasmine looked deep in her eyes trying to use his compulsion. "Saying you want to kiss me and make love to me." Jasmine said, "While didn't work Uncle Adrian". Adrian said, "Damn!" Jasmine said, "That might be a good thing that I can't be a compulsion."
Jasmine watches beep. Jasmine look down and said, "it was time for training with a Cowboy." Adrian said, "Who Cowboy?" Jasmine said, "Daddy!" Adrian laugh.
Jasmine gets up from the couch and picked up the backpack with a pony on top of it. Adrian said, "You like your pony?" Jasmine said, "Yes! Thank You! Uncle Adrian for buying for me." Leaning over kiss Adrian on the cheek and started to head to the door. Leaving Adrian's bedroom.
Jasmine started walking down the cord-doors of the academy seeing Rose heading to the gym for practice with Dimitri. Jasmine said, "Rosemarie Jazz Hathaway!" Rose froze in her step, not realizing it was her twin sister's voice. Jasmine grabbed her sister and slammed her against the wall to face her. Rose realized it was her twin sister Jasmine. Seeing Jasmine's golden eyes looking at her with hurt in her eyes.
Jasmine said, "I just heard about what happened in Mason Ashford in Spokane Washington. So you received your Molnija marks for Isaiah and Elena." Rose said, "Yes!" Jasmine said, "Now you understand I want you to have chosen to make the kill. But you didn't get chosen in the matter." Rose said, Sometimes get choose or not make the kill."
Jasmine said, "I few questions before you left to go Spokane Washington. Who was the last person that you talked to?" Rose looked at Jasmine. Rose looked away with Jasmine knew their was something couldn't say. Jasmine said, "Did someone compulsion to hurt me or do something that you never do?" Rose nod! Jasmine said, "Maybe like Tasha." Rose looked back, sister. Jasmine said, "I figure out what you want to say. I am always watching and looking down at her necklace." "The answer is there?" Rose smiled. Jasmine smiled back at Rose and let her go. Saying, we are late?" Giving her Rose hug.
After Rose and Jasmine changing into practice clothes, We headed down into the gym and found Dimitri in a supply room, reading one of the Western novels he loved. Jasmine said, "Rosie. Look at the closet case." Rose started to laugh. He peered up at our entrance. Rose had seen little of him in these last few days and had figured he was busy with Tasha or baby Jasmine.
Dimitri said, "I thought both you might come by," Putting a bookmark between the pages." Rose said It's time for practice."He shook his head. "No. No practice today. Both still need to recover." Jasmine and Rose looked at each other and started using their twin bond. Dimitri watched talking to each other without words. Turn back and looking at Dimitri.
Rose said I've got a clean bill of health. I'm good to go." She pushed as much patented Rose Hathaway bravado into her words as she could. Dimitri wasn't falling for any of it. He gestured to the chair beside him. "Sit down, Rose." Jasmine said Damn Cowboy doesn't fell for that shit ether. Dimitri said Jasmine! Watch your mouth. Rose started laughing. Jasmine said sorry Daddy! Making Rose laughing harder.
Rose hesitated only a moment before complying. Dimitri. moved his own chair close to her so that we sat directly across from each other. Jasmine said this good time for me mystery on found which bitch poison me. Grabbing the door knob close the door. Before Dimitri could say anything. "Dimitri shook his head and thought I going to have long talk to her about mouth". Rose looked at the door.
Dimitri turn back to Rose. As he looked into her gorgeous dark eyes. "Dimitri said No one gets over their first kill...kills...easily. Even with Strigoi...well, it's still technically taking a life. That's hard to come to terms with. And after everything else you went through..." He sighed, then reached out and caught Rose hand in his. Founding her soft with few calloused of training. "Dimitri said When I saw your face...when we found you in that house...you can't imagine how I felt."
"Rose said how did you feel?"
"Dimitri said Devastated,christmas and grief-stricken. You were alive, but the way you looked. I didn't think you'd ever recover. And it tore me apart to think of that happening to you so young." He squeezed my hand. "You will recover- I know that now, and I'm glad. But you aren't there. Not yet. Losing someone you care about is never easy."
My eyes dropped from his and studied the floor. "It's my fault," I said in a small voice.
"Dimitri said Hmm?"
"Rose said Mason. Getting killed."
Dimitri said "Oh, Roza. No. You made some bad decisions. You should have told others when you knew he was gone. But you can't blame yourself. You didn't kill him."Dimitri watch one tear leaked out of the corner of Rose eye. Dimitri delicately wiped the tear off my cheek.
"Dimitri said You can't blame yourself for that "You can regret your decisions and wish you'd done things differently, but in the end, Mason made his decisions too. That was what he chose to do. It was his decision in the end, no matter your original role."
"Rose said I should go." "Let me know when you want to start practice again. And thanks for talking."
Dimitri said No!
Rose glanced back. "What?"
Dimitri held my gaze, and something warm and wonderful and powerful shot between us.
"Dimitri said No," "I told her no. Tasha."
Jasmine help make up my mind on being Tasha guardian. Their something that happen between us. Tasha had compel me.
Rose said But...why? That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You could have had a baby. And she ... she was, you know, into you..."
The ghost of a smile flickered on his face. "Yes, she was. Is. And that's why I had to say no. I couldn't return that...couldn't give her what she wanted. Not when..." Dimitri took a few steps toward me. "Not when my heart is somewhere else."
"Rose said But you seemed so into her.
"Dimitri said "You were right, about how I fight to stay in control. No one else has ever figured that out- and it scared me. You scare me." Rose Why? Don't you want anyone to know?"Dimitri shrugged. "Whether they know that fact or not doesn't matter. What matters is that someone- that you- know me that well. When a person can see into your soul, it's hard. It forces you to be open. Vulnerable. It's much easier being with someone who's just more of a casual friend."
"Rose said Like Tasha." Dimitri said Tasha Ozera is an amazing woman. She's beautiful and she's brave. But she doesn't-
"Rose said She doesn't get you."
He nodded. "I knew that. But I still wanted the relationship. I knew it would be easy and that she could take me away from you. I thought she could make me forget you."
Instead he kissed me.
Time stopped as he reached out and cupped my face between his hands. He brought his mouth down and brushed it against my lips. It was barely a kiss at first but soon increased, becoming heady and deep. When he finally pulled away, it was to kiss my forehead. He left his lips there for several seconds as his arms held me close.
I wished the kiss could have gone on forever. Breaking the embrace, he ran a few fingers through my hair and down my cheek. He stepped back toward the door.
"I'll see you later, Roza."
Dimitri walked in tower and could hear radio playing upstairs. The name of the song was Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle.
Heading upstairs found Jasmine laying on the front in a t-shirt, underwear, and socks. Dimitri could see Jasmine watching footage of the lodge. Jasmine reached grabbing a sugar cookie out Christmas tin. Dimitri walked to sit down on Jasmine's bed and put his hand on her back. Dimitri asking, "What are you doing?" Jasmine turns with a sugar cookie in her mouth. Reaching up take out and said, "I watched the footage from the lodge. Is your footage a few before the party?
Dimitri said, "Your necklaces do come in handy. When we have to track someone down. Jasmine said, "That his I made them for." Turn back to the laptop. Jasmine stops the video and said, "Hand me the speaker, and let see what Tasha telling Rosie." Dimitri walked over to the desk and picked her speaker. Dimitri turns off the music using the remote to the radio.
Jasmine pulled the speaker into the laptop and turn it up. Dimitri said, "Do you think that Tasha was one trying to kill you?" Jasmine said. "Maybe or Roze do it for her? It would best way to get you from us." Rose would be full of guilt knowing that killed her sister and life in prison. While she gets away with it. To have you all herself." Dimitri said, "Damn! it!"
A few seconds later, Tasha telling Rose to put this in Jasmine hot cocoa has to send to the bedroom. Then go to the kitchen put his in Jasmine coco. Leave with anyone seeing you. Giving her a small vile with green liquid. Then you will forget about every doing it until after Jasmine is dead. Then you will know that you did it." Dimitri said, Damn it! You was right about Tasha!
When there was a knock on the door. Hearing Dimitri's voices. Dimitri said, "To make a copy of that footage. Jasmine points a stake of disks above the computer and empty case. Dimitri said, "How could Tasha get twisted." Jasmine said, "I think some Royle families don't give a shit who they step on or who gets hurt to get what they want. But not realizing that your karma's gonna come to collect your debt." Dimitri said, "That so true!"
Dimitri grabbed this disk off the shelf and empty the case. Jasmine made a copy of the footage and hand it to Dimitri. Jasmine said, "Rosie get in trouble?" Dimitri said, "No! Because she was compelled to do this the law stated that some under control of another can't punish for doing something wouldn't normally do." Jasmine said, "That good thing." Dimitri said, "Yes it is!"
Jasmine said, "Do you think Rose still has vile that came in? You might have a problem talking to her about it because she had been compelled not to say anything about it. Unless you get her talk about. Then good luck." Dimitri said, "I don't know. I stop by Rose dorm before I go see Alberta and thanks Jazz." Jasmine said, "Always here to help."
Dimitri started walking downstairs and the front door heading to Rose dorm to see if she had the vile.
Dimitri walked across the ground from the tower to Rose dorms to see if she still had the vile. Walking inside have a woman calls up to Rose's bedroom to have Rose come down.
("A few minutes later,")
Rose came down in PJ asking, "What is the reason that you talk to about?" Looking have sleep. Dimitri said, Roze! Making Rose turned around and looked at Dimitri's sleep look on her face. Rose asked, "With is it?" Dimitri walked over and pulled to the side. Dimitri saying, "I know what Tasha made you do to Jasmine. Do you still have vile that was put in cocoa?" Rose froze." Dimitri said, "Is it in your room?" "Rose nod," Dimitri said, Can you go get it for me or show me where it is? Rose nod and turn around walked back to the bedroom with the woman behind Rose.
Rose walked overdress and pulled the vile out. The woman took it from Rose and said, "Fellow me, please." Rose walked back to Dimitri was stand. The woman hands Dimitri the vile with half still inside of it. Dimitri knew that Rose didn't hadn't have a change put all in cocoa. But soon they would know what cause Jasmine to turn into a toddler. Telling Rose to back to bed and a good night's sleep. Tomorrow you will question. Rose nods her head still sleepy.
Leaving Rose dorm heading Alberta office to let her know Jasmine found who turn in into a baby and stuff that made the turn in to baby. So they could test it and found the compounds that with the candy cane came with cocoa.
"Few hours later"
Dimitri walking back into the tower and surprise that Jasmine solved the mystery. Who turns her into a baby. Alberta couldn't believe that it was Tasha Ozera used compel Rose to poison her sister.
Walking upstairs hearing moaning and whimpering in sleep again. Dimitri wishes that her nightmare would stop and let her sleep in peace. Dimitri walked over to Jasmine's bed sitting down next to Jasmine. Looking hold her pony in her arms with tears felling from her eyes. Started tried to calm her down. Started singing Russian Lullaby. Hearing moaning and whimpering getting softer. Reaching down moving her hair and could see want more from the life that she was given.
Hoping that dream starting academy came true. Remembering that he would keep his word help started an academy for best guardians. Reached down kiss forehead and said, "Sweet Dreams my little angel." Dimitri getting up from the bed. Jasmine grabbed Dimitri's arm and said, "Make them go away." Dimitri sit back down and started sing Russian Lullaby Jasmine again. When finished getting up going to his bedroom.
Dimitri tried to relax, tried to fell asleep, and not having any luck at it. Get up and going to Jasmine's bedroom. Lay down in Jasmine's bed with her. Pull her close to him. Start that he could relax and started felling to sleep with arms around her waist. Hoping that she wouldn't kick his ass being in her bed.
