(October 2)
Jasmine and Alberta stepped out of Jasmine Tower. Jasmine could watch the rising sun in the eastern sky. Taking a few deep breaths of Montana air and enjoying the view of the morning sky that looked like it was on fire. Alberta said, "It is beautiful, isn't it?" Jasmine said, "Beautiful!" Alberta asked, "Are you ready for your long trip to Russia?" Jasmine said, "Yes! I know that my family is back here waiting for me to return.
Alberta said, "Don't worry about anything." We make sure nothing happens to Vasilisa or Rose. Well, you're gone? Jasmine said, "For that to happen, you have to keep bird lady in control." Alberta said, "Bird lady?" Jasmine said, "Head mistress Kirova." Don't tell me that you never noticed that Kirova's nose does look like bird beak from the side." Alberta said, "I thought I was only one who thought that." Nope, Vasilisa, Rosie, Christian, and myself think so." Alberta smile and laughs with Jasmine.
Jasmine and Alberta started walking to the SUV, seeing all the novices and family standing by the SUV waiting for it to arrive. Jasmine said, "Everyone shows up?" Alberta said, "That's what it looks like and the first time from this academy to be an international program." Jasmine said, "But I will not be the last one to be put in this program." Alberta said, "No, you want to be. You have made everyone proud of you." Jasmine said, "I did it all for the family! Besides, you are one, but my name of this program." Captain Alberta looked surprise that Jasmine found out it was her.
Vasilisa said, "Jasmine is coming." Everyone turned around and started clapping when they saw Jasmine and Captain Alberta heading for them. Dimitri standing next to the van and could see that Jasmine was smiling and laughing with Captain Alberta. Jasmine and Alberta walked through the other novices to head to Vasilisa and Rose. Christian stood there and watched his best friend leave for three months. Mason said, "it about time." Rose said, "Shut up!" Eddie watched and smiling at Jasmine. Damon standing there get to view that fallen angel walk heading at them. But soon she flies away. What nothing more, to hold her in arms and tell her he loves her all over his heart. Dimitri looked at Damon looking at her with love eyes.
Alberta and Jasmine walked up. Alberta reached out to take Jasmine duff-bag and found it. Jasmine duff-bag had some weight to it and was put in the SUV in the back. Vasilisa put her arms around Jasmine's neck and asked, "If she had everything?" Jasmine hugged her back and said, "Yes!" Vasilisa pulled back and said, "Make sure you take care of yourself." I don't need my guardian to get sick. " Rose looked at Vasilisa and could feel Vasilisa emote. Jasmine said, "I will." I'll be back in three months. " Rose said, "My turn and stop hugging my sister." Everyone started laughing. Rose hugged Jasmine and said, "I miss you." Jasmine said, "I miss you! Rosie." Rose pulled back and looked at sending a message through their bond to take care of. Dimitri could see the twin bond again.
Alberta said, "It's time to go." Jasmine said, "Yes! Captain Alberta. " Dimitri said, "I better take care of Vasilissa and Rosie gone." Jasmine hugged Dimitri. But want Dimitri didn't know that Jasmine put a letter and box in one pocket of his duster. Before Jasmine pulled back give small kiss his neck. Dimitri hugged Jasmine tight and closer taking in scent. Pulling back and said, "Now be careful with my mustang while I am gone." Dimitri said, "Yes! I plain to drive the shit out of it. Jasmine smile at Dimitri and said, "figures!" Dimitri smiled. Christian started to laugh.
Damon said, "All right, my turn, assholes!" I gave Jasmine the biggest hug and didn't want to let go. "Whisper in Jasmine's ear, call me." When you get there, tell me how you are doing. " Jasmine said, "I will." Damon let go.
Christian pushed everyone away from Jasmine. Giving Jasmine a hug, he said, "Show them you're top dog and the best that America haves. Don't forget to give them hell." Jasmine reached up, touched Christian face, and said, "take care of yourself, Pyro. Jasmine said, Give Mia, Jessie, and Ralf double hell for me." Christian smirked at Jasmine and kissing her in front of everyone. Damon, Dimitri and everyone surprised to see Christian kissed Jasmine in front of everyone. Captain Alberta said, "Jasmine!" Vasilisa said, "Christian." Breaking apart looked at everyone and started laughing. Eddie said, "That our Jazz always catching off guard."
(Tower)
Dimitri sits his boxes on the floor next to the couch. Dimitri sat down on the sofa and reaching in pocket, removing envelope, the box sitting on the box on the wood coffee table and opening the envelope and founding a letter. Opening the letter and could see that Jasmine had nice handwriting. Started reading to himself.
There are few things that you need to know about living in the tower. Jasmine listed the problems. Dimitri thought he could fix them. Moving on through the letter found the laptop in the bedroom has tracking and video feed all the necklaces. Giving passwords, commands to track, and used video in the necklaces. Dimitri thought she trusted him by giving passwords and commands to trackers. Thinking he would have to keep the letter just in case need it.
Jasmine told him to open the box now. Dimitri laying the letter down on the coffee table, Dimitri reached down and picked up the box. Seeing the box was blue with white ribbon keeping together. Dimitri untied the ribbon and open the box. Looking inside, and found silver necklaces just like Rose and Jasmine. Picking it up and found their note in the bottom under the necklaces. Opening the note and it, and read saying welcome to the ranks. Guardian Angel wears it with pride. Never take it off. You are one of five that have his necklace. Dimitri thought, wait a minute. Who is the other person who has one of your necklaces? Jasmine must forget to tell me, is Damon or Christian? I will have found out or ask you who has the other necklaces?
Dimitri holds the necklace in hand and thought you make one for me. Dimitri thought you see me as your Guardian Angel. Putting it on and felt metal was cold on his skin. Making him happy that Jasmine would look in once in a while to make sure everything is alright.
Something caught his eye sitting on the counter. Dimitri got up and move over to the counter. Reaching down, picking and found Russia Mamont Vodka. It surprised Dimitri that Jasmine would have this second-best Russia Vodka. There was a tag on the bottle read to Jasmine from Victor Dashkov. There was the date on the tag. It read was 2002. Dimitri didn't like to know that Victor Dashkov had to give this to her. Finding a note under it that read: To Dinka from Jasmine. "Enjoy it!"
Dimitri smiled and said, "Thank you! Baby girl!" I know what to do with him later and sit back down at the counter.
(December 1)
Dimitri calls his family to see how they are doing and if Jasmine has arrived. When a young woman's voice answers, speaking in Russian, The woman's voice said, "ривет! то то еликов. оу сросит, кто вонил?) meaning: Hello! This is the Belikov residents. May I ask who called? Dimitri said (Дмитрий Беликов) Meaning :(Dimitri Belikov) Jasmine said (Ковбой!) Meaning: (Cowboy!) Dimitri realized Jasmine answer the telephone.

Mother Olena asked "him to stop making sexy advances on me." Randall called, "Her B.W. "Dimitri asked, What is B.W mean?" Jasmine said, "Blood-whore. I hate that word. Randall started hitting her. I kind of lost my temper. I beat the holy shit out of him. Grandmother Yeva told me to take it outside. I dragged him out the front door to finish beating the hell out of him some more.

They take the young virgin dhampier girl and turn her into a blood-whore. " Dimitri couldn't believe that his younger sister would do something like that, and it was a good thing that Jasmine was there to stop it. Dimitri said, "Have you told my mother?" Jasmine said, "No!

They are Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Lighting, Metal, and Spirit like the Moroi. " Dimitri said, "Good! Send them to me through the mail overnight. " Jasmine said, "Grandmother Yeva is reading them. It might take a while." Dimitri said, "You just called my grandmother?" Jasmine said, "Grandmother Yeva." That is what she told me to call her. Something wrong, you don't like it? " Dimitri said, "Cute." Jasmine said, "Huh! OK! By the way, I didn't find your grandmother Yeva scary at all. But I surprised the shit out of your grandmother, Yeva. When she thought couldn't speak in Russian. I understood every word that came out of her mouth and spoke back to her in Russian. Her mouth popped open and then she hit me with her cane."
