(February 1)

Dimitri wakes up to found the bed empty. Remember waking one time last night. Because Jasmine had a nightmare feeling her tremble in his arms. Pulling her close and whispering ear telling her that she had the power to make them go away. Found it and make them go away. Looking at the clock and see he was late for training with Rose and Jasmine. Sitting up, putting his feet on the floor. Getting up and going stairs getting dress. Head out of the tower to the Gym.

Opening the doors to the Gym to finding Alberta standing in front of both Jasmine and Rose. Found Albert making them both doing push-ups.

Albert said, "Give thirty more. Rose make your arms stay close to your body." Dimitri walked in and putting his bag next to the wall. Walking up next to Alberta saying, "That good Jasmine and Rose doesn't make me have to tell you again to get your hands closer to your body." Dimitri could see both Jasmine and Rose sweating from doing push up. Dimitri asked, How many push-ups are you having them do?" Alberta said, "Eighty of them. Jasmine listens to my orders. Rose still working on following orders."

Alberta said, "Jasmine stand up." Jasmine stops and stood like stone waiting for orders. Alberta walked and said, "You have an hour shower and dress warmly. You are going to have fieldwork today. Return to your tower and pack. You get more information when you arrive. Now go." Jasmine turns around walked over to the bag and walked out the door heading to the tower.

Dimitri said, "Alberta! I thought we did fieldwork in Spring." Alberta said, "Most time we do. But this comes Queen Tatiana's orders. Jasmine will have two weeks alone in backwoods Montana in the mountains." Dimitri said, "There is a big storm heading our way. Are you going to send Jasmine out alone in the mountains?" Alberta said, "I have faith in Jasmine. I believe that she will be a great guardian one day." Dimitri said, "I do have faith in Jasmine. But did you know that Jasmine wants to start our academy and train the best guardians?" Alberta said, "No! I did not know that. With time maybe her dream will change. I think Queen Tatiana wants to make Jasmine one of her guardians." Rose said, "Holy shit! Jasmine could always start the academy after working for Queen Tatiana after few years." Alberta said, "Rose! Rose finished her push-ups. After a few, Rose sits up and said "finished."

Alberta said, "Rose! Go and rest." Rose get up and moved over to her bag. Picking it up and slipped out the door.

AFew minutes later.

Alberta said, "Rose!" Both Dimitri and Alberta turn around found that Rose was gone. Alberta said, "Damn! I hate when she does that." Dimitri was started laughing remember Jasmine and Roze would do that him a lot of the time.


Dimitri walked in to tower found Jasmine, Rose, Christian, and Adrian. Vasilisa was doing one French Braid down Jasmine's hair. Dimitri said, "Jasmine. It's almost time for you to leave the protection of the academy and travel out in the middle of the mountains. Tonight is going a huge storm that is going hit tonight from North. I want you to be found protected from the storm and wait out the past storm. I want you to safe and smart out there all alone. This tests you all skills, smarts, tracking, and so much more.

Dimitri walking to the coffee table. Opening backpack and started going through Jasmine's pack found clothes, two boots, six pairs of socks, four longs sleeves, and jeans. Dimitri asking, "Where field kit and first aid kit?" Jasmine's said, In the front pocket together." Dimitri could tell that Jasmine hand everything put matches. Dimitri said, "Where are your matches?" Jasmine looked down at her hands and said, "Right here. Dimitri looked up to see Jasmine looking at her hands. Dimitri said. "That right your fire element." Jasmine said, "I am not Fire Element! I haven't because you haven't specialized. Fire is one part of my magic."

Adrian said, Dimitri acting like a Daddy worry about his baby getting hurt go play.

Dimitri said, "Shut up!"

Christian said, "Aunt Tasha called me yesterday. To inform me that she coming to visit?" Jasmine said, "What does that bitch what now?" Dimitri said, "Jasmine watch your mouth." Jasmine looked at Dimitri and said, You know the reasons that I have a problem with Tasha right now. Dimitri asked, "When is Tasha coming to visit?" Christian in a month. Jasmine said, "Good Have few chose words I like tell that stupid bitch!" Rose said, "I bet you do." Rose and Adrian started laughing. Dimitri said, "Jasmine stop!" Christian knew bad blood between Aunt and Jasmine.

Dimitri said, "Are you ready to go?" Jasmine said, "Yes! I know I have a lot to think about for the next month to say, Tasha. Christian said, "What happens with Tasha?" Jasmine said, "Tasha is the reason I get a turn in toddler. Cowboy can tell you all about it later." Jasmine stood grabbing her jacket and putting it on and reaching over picked up the backpack. Head out the door to the van. Founding few guardians waiting for Jasmine to arrive. Damon was one of the guardians.

Jasmine and Dimitri started walking to SUV. Dimitri said, "You need to remember what I said while on this fieldwork. This will test all your skills. Remember to be careful, smart, keep your eyes and ears open to anything that might want to kill you." Jasmine said, "Yes! I will."

Jasmine and Dimitri walked up to the SUVs that were waiting to take Jasmine to the drop point. Alberta walked up behind Jasmine and used a syringe on Jasmine. Jasmine reaches up to her neck. Jasmine said, "You bitch!" Before felling asleep. Dimitri grabbed Jasmine. Keep from fell to the ground. Damon walked over and picking Jasmine into his arms. "Alberta said, Remove Jasmine necklace." Dimitri reached up and removed the Jasmine necklace from her neck. Damon walked over to SUV. Getting in, holding Jasmine in his arms and close to him.

Dimitri said, "You know that Jasmine is going to be mad as hell when she wakes up. Found you drop in the middle of woods somewhere." Alberta said, "Jasmine is heading for the Glacier National Park in the mountains. The drop point is a very lovely place. I think she will love it." Dimitri said, "You know that is over a few hundred miles from the academy.

Stan said, "Alberta need to hurry. Before, Jasmine wakes and started kicking everyone's ass."

Alberta turns around to walk to the driver's door.

Dimitri said Farewell! Everyone as the SUV drives away.


(The Tower)

Dimitri looked down at Jasmine's necklace. Founding Jasmine's necklace was different from his. Seeing Jasmine's wings as they have broken and hearty was looked cracked. Then understood that broken her. Flipping and found a few words in a grave in it. Reading it that read "That behind this broken angel lies a warrior." Heading back to the tower to tell Rose, Christian, Adrian, and Visilissa that Jasmine had left for her fieldwork.

Dimitri walked inside the tower. Clutching Jasmine's necklace in his right hand. Christian said, "What do you have in your hands?"Dimitri said, "Jasmine necklace." Rose said, "Jazz never takes it off. What is something that happens and needs our help?" Dimitri said, "While she helps herself." Lissa said, "Jasmine smart and figure somehow fix the problem." Rose said, "What if she gets injured again or attacks." Lissa said, "Rose! We understand your worry about Jasmine." Rose stood up from her seat and went to Jasmine's bedroom. Adrian said, "What was that about?" Dimitri just looked at Adrian and thought really? Christian said, "Shut up! Adrian."

Dimitri walking upstairs and found Rose lay on Jasmine's bed hold Jasmine's pony. Dimitri walked up and seating down behind Rose. Placing his hand Rose back. Dimitri said, "I understand that you worry about Jasmine in the wild. Soon Jasmine will here worry about you when it's your turn. Rose said, "I worry if she gets hurt like a mountain lion, bear, or army of strigoi attack her."

Do you think should worry so much? Dimitri said, "I worry about Jasmine too. But I feel that grow back stronger and help her keep calm. Besides she might have the best time out of their mountains." Rose said, "I hope that safe and found cabin holds up until time leave". Dimitri said, "You know Jasmine found some nice place to sleep."

Dimitri asked, "What does this mean?" Rose rolled over and looked at Dimitri. Dimitri handing Jasmine's necklace to Rose. Rose reached over and took it. Looking at Jasmine's necklace could see how different from Vasilisa and Rose. Flipping it over and read the engraving. Rose said, "Jasmine write a song than this some lyrics." Dimitri said, "I never knew that Jasmine wrote a song." Rose said, "Yes! It's really pretty. The name of the song is "Warrior".

Rose, getting up from the bed. Moving bookshelf. Searching to the brown leather journal writing notebook. Founding it, pulled off the bookshelf and walking back to bed. Sitting down and removing the leather strip and open the journal. Turning to the first page and finding the song. Rose said, "Here it is on the first page on this journal." Dimitri reached over taking it and started reading the song lyrics.

[Verse 1]
You fascinated me, cloaked in shadows and secrecy
The beauty of a broken angel
I ventured carefully, afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled

[Pre-Chorus]
You take me by the hand
I question who I am

[Chorus]
Teach me how to fight, I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw and I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin
Put me to the test, I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe that what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior, lies a warrior

[Verse 2]
My memory refused to separate the lies from truth
And search the past my mind created
I kept on pushing through, standing resolute, which you
In equal measure loved and hated

[Pre-Chorus]
You take me by the hand
I'm seeing who I am

[Chorus]
Teach me how to fight, I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw and I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin
Put me to the test, I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe that what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior, lies a warrior
Lies a warrior

[Bridge]
You take me by the hand
I'm sure of who I am

[Chorus]
Teach me how to fight, I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw and I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin
Put me to the test, I'll prove that I am strong
Won't let myself believe that what we feel is wrong
I finally see what you knew was inside me all along
That behind this soft exterior, lies a warrior

[Outro]
The pictures come to life, wake in the dead of night
Open my eyes, I must be dreaming
Clutch my pillow tight, brace myself for the fight
I've heard that seeing is believing.

Dimitri found it a beautiful melody. Understand this song how Jasmine felt at the time in her life. Dimitri said, "This song is beautiful and with a great melody and good music in the background. It would sell. Rose said, "Jasmine's idea for this song goes with piano playing." Dimitri smiled on that it would sound great with piano playing.

Dimitri turn the page and found the information about how to build the academy. Founding Jasmine looked up locations around the world and more data. Each page full of information on how to things run the best academy. Dimitri understood why Jasmine desires to start a new academy better than St. Vladimir's Academy.


(Tasha Arriver)

When there was a knock on the door downstairs, hearing Christian said, "Aunt Tasha. You're early." Tasha said, "I missing my you and bring gifts for everyone." Christian said, "I hope that you bring Jasmine a gift. Tasha said, "I thought Jasmine is dead." Vasilisa said, "Jasmine's live." Adrian was looking at Tasha's auras change when she finds out that Jasmine was still alive. Adrian asked, "Why do you hate Jasmine for?" Tasha said, "I don't hate Jasmine. It seems there might be some understanding that I would hate her." Adrian said, "Your lying. Your aura telling a whole different story."

Tasha said, "I get the feeling that she was better than anyone else." Vasilisa said, "You misjudge Jasmine." Christian said, Jasmine isn't like that all. She must sweet, kind, loving, understand, brave soul in this world." Vasilisa said, "Jasmine is the best novice here at St. Vladimir's Academy. Being put in the international program and sent to St. Basil Academy in Russia. Plus Jasmine stays a full month in Russia with the Guardian Belikov family. Do you know that they loved her and enjoying having her there with them?"

Tasha didn't understand why Dimitri family didn't like her at all.

Dimitri and Rose walking downstairs to find Tasha standing in the living area hold few bags. Dimitri demanded to know what was her reason that Tasha would to the academy? Tasha said, "Dimka! I am so sorry for what I did to you back at the lodge." Christian, Vislissa, Adrian, and Rose looked at Dimitri and back at Tasha to find out what happened. Christian said Aunt Tasha is this where compiled Dimitri to sleep with you? Tasha said, "Yes and No!" Adrian said, "That just nasty.

Tasha said, "Where is Jasmine?" Dimitri replied on fieldwork. Tasha said, "What is that?" Dimitri said, "Something all of the novices must go through to become guardians." Jasmine was first to be sent on her fieldwork by Queen Tatiana." Adrian thought was odd that his Aunt would send Jasmine out of her firework before everyone else. Tasha said, "All you happy that Jasmine sent for her fieldwork by Queen Tatiana?" Vasilisa said, "Have Queen Tatiana send one of my best guardians to do her fieldwork before the others make me proud." Tasha said, "Sounds great for you, Princess Vasilisa. You should be proud that Queen Tatiana took interested in one of the guardians."

Dimitri was watching Tasha could see that there was something off about her. Tasha said, "I bring gifts for everyone." Tasha started heading out gifts for everyone. But no one opens the gift Tasha gives them.

Dimitri asked, "Where is Jasmine's gift?" Tasha said, "I didn't bring one for Jasmine. I heard that she died in battle with one of the strigoi in Spokane, Washington." Christian said, "That is so fucked up. Aunt Tasha. You were going to celebrated Jasmine was death." Dimitri said, "That is load bullshit! Tasha. Dimitri put the gift down on the counter. I not going to open this gift. Until you get Jasmine a really nice gift and not something cheap. We all know that for a fact that Jasmine never went to Spokane, Washington. Both Rose and Christian nod their head each other.

Dimitri asking, "Tasha to leave don't come back until you have something really nice for Jasmine, or don't come back at all. Now get out!" Tasha turns around stormed out of the tower. Dimitri said, "Don't slam the door." Tasha slammed the door behind her. "Dimitri said Bitch! Everyone turns to Dimitri and all their mouths drop open in surprise that Dimitri says that.

The front door fell off and land hard on the door. Dimitri said in swearing Russia. Rose said, Jasmine is going to be pissed when she found Bitch brook her door.
