Chapter 7:

"Evy." Jasmine said

The ground was shaking violently; things were falling off the wall. Jasmine was scared; she had never experienced an earthquake before.

"Get into the doorway." Evy said

Jasmine opened the door, Evy ran as quick as she could over to Jasmine. Both of them managed to get to the doorway without getting hurt.

"Dad."

"Hold on Alex." Rick said while trying to get over to Alex but it wasn't very easy

Eventually Rick managed to get through to Alex, who luckily was still alive.

"Where are Evy and Jasmine?" Rick asked

"I don't know." Alex said

"Rick."

Rick turned around it was Jonathan who ran through all the objects that were falling and soon reached Rick and Alex.

"Where's your sister?" Rick said

"I don't know, maybe in her room." Jonathan said

"Get Alex out of here, I'll find Evy and Jasmine."

"I'll help you." Came Ardeth's voice from behind

"Right, let's go." Rick said

Jonathan and Alex got out safe. The hotel was still in one piece and everyone who were in it got out safely. The earthquake had stopped.

"I hope mom and Jasmine are alright." Alex said

"I'm sure they are." Jonathans said

"Jasmine, Jasmine are you alright?"

While trying to staying alive during the earthquake, something had fallen and had cut the way between Jasmine and Evy. Evy was on the other side of the room while Jasmine was still inside.

"Evy."

Evy turned around and saw Ardeth and Rick running towards her.

"Are you alright? Where's Jasmine?" Rick asked

"I'm fine. I think she's inside." Evy said

"You two get out of here. I'll find Jasmine." Ardeth said

"I'll find my way around, the earthquake stopped so it's safe. Find her fast." Evy said

"Mom." Alex said when Evy walked outside

Evy walked up to Alex and hugged him.

"Are you alright?" Evy asked

"Yes I'm fine. Where's Jasmine is she alright?" Alex replied

"She's still inside. Don't worry Rick and Ardeth will find her."

"Oh by all means, ignore me. But hey, don't worry, I'm perfectly alright." Jonathan said

"Nice to see you're alive Jonathan." Evy said

Rick and Ardeth were managing to get through the fallen pieces from the roof and into the Evy and Jasmine's room. They had tried to call her name but there was no reply from her. Ardeth was very worried because he didn't want anything to happen to her.

"There she is." Rick said

Jasmine was lying on the floor, unconscious. Something had apparently knocked her out. Ardeth walked over to her and picked her up in his arms.

While being unconscious, Jasmine had more memories flashing through her. They went pass very quickly so she couldn't see them very clearly, but most of them were very similar to the dreams that she had been having.

After quite a while, Jasmine slowly opened her eyes, with only the last memory still clear in her mind

She found herself lying on a bed, where she was she didn't know.

'Ow, that's a bad headache.' Jasmine thought

"Well, look who decided to join the living."

Jasmine turned around and saw Evy beside her.

"What happened?" She asked

"You got trapped in the room during the earthquake and somehow got unconscious." Evy explained

"How did I get out?"

"Ardeth and Rick managed to get into the room and Ardeth got you out."

"Is everyone else alright?"

"Everyone's fine, but worried about you."

"Oh."

Just then, Ardeth entered the room.

"I'll see you soon, get some rest ok. Don't do anything to rash." Evy said

"Don't worry, I won't." Jasmine said and smiled

Evy left the room.

"How is she?" Alex asked when Evy came outside to Jonathan, Rick and Alex

"She's fine, although I think she's still a bit dizzy." Evy said

"At least she's alive." Rick said

"How are you?" Ardeth asked

"I'm fine, I've got a headache, but what can you expect." Jasmine said

Ardeth smiled, Jasmine was alright.

"I'm sorry about before, I shouldn't have left like that. I guess I just got a shock." Jasmine said

"Don't worry, it's alright. I can't really blame you for it." Ardeth said

Jasmine didn't know how she was supposed to tell Ardeth that he was right. That she was his daughter. The memories she had been having while being unconscious had been about her past life, they were very clear memories.

"What are you thinking about?" Ardeth asked when he saw the look on Jasmine's face

Jasmine sighed.

"I was thinking about everything that's happened to me since I got here. And....that you were right." She said

Ardeth looked surprised at Jasmine. He hadn't expected to hear that from her. Not that soon anyway.

"What made you change your mind?" He asked

"I'm not sure, I just had a lot of memories or whatever you want to call them, going through my mind while I was unconscious and....I'm just not sure." Jasmine said

Jasmine looked at Ardeth, her father. She was sure of it. She didn't know what had made her change her mind. She only had a few memories inside her, but they were clear enough to convince her.

"Why did you leave?" Jasmine asked

Ardeth knew that question would come sooner or later. He knew that he couldn't avoid it.

"I never wanted to leave you. But I had no choice." Ardeth said

Jasmine could feel the tears running down her face. Ardeth dried them away.

"I just don't understand." Jasmine said

"When you disappeared I felt as if I had lost everything. You were my whole world. You were everything I lived for. You still are." Ardeth said

"Don't leave me again. Don't ever leave me again."

Ardeth hugged her.

"I won't." He said
