The Element! Chapter 19, a vampire academy fanfic

(December 29)

Dimitri was walking down the hallway when he heard Rose and Adrian's voices. Dimitri started walking faster to find out what the reason was that Rose would be inside the lodge. As he came around the corner to see Rose outside Adrian Ivashkov's room, he heard Adrian's voice saying, "Ladies, ladies, no need to fight over me." Rose said, "We're not!" I just want to know what's going on here. Dimitri said, "Me too!" Dimitri watched Rose jump and spin around. Rose saw Dimitri standing in the hallway with hands-on-hips. She had no clue what he was doing in the Ivashkov wing. Dimitri loves it. He caught Rose off guard. It surprised Dimitri to see Vasilissa in Adrian Ivashkov's room.

Rose walked past, and Dimitri went inside the room. Dimitri started looking at Rose, Lissa, and Adrian.

Dimitri said, "Male and female students aren't supposed to be in each other's rooms." Rose said, "How do you keep doing this?" Adrian said, "Do what?" Rose said, "Keep making us look bad!" Adrian chuckled. "You guys are the ones who came here. Dimitri said, "You shouldn't have let them in." I'm sure you know the rules at St. Vladimir's Academy. Adrian shrugged. Yeah, but I don't have to follow any school's stupid rules. Besides, we are not at St. Vladimir's academy. Dimitri said, perhaps not coldly. But I would have thought you'd still respect those rules. Adrian rolled his eyes. I'm kind of surprised to find you lecturing about underage girls.

Rose saw the anger glisten in Dimitri's eyes, and for a moment, she thought I might have seen the loss of control I'd teased him about. But he stayed composed, and only his clenched fists showed how angry he was.

Besides," "continued Adrian," "nothing sordid was going on. We were just hanging out. Dimitri said, "If you want to 'hang out with young girls, do it in one of the public areas." Adrian looked at Rose with hungry eyes and said, "If you think they're young, Then you need to get your eyes checked. Dimitri wanted to punch Adrian right in the jaw for how he was looking at Rose. But he didn't.

Adrian laughed just then, a weird laugh that made my skin crawl. Adrian said, "Young girls, young girls?" Sure, young and old at the same time. They've barely seen anything in life, yet they've already seen too much. One's marked with life, and one's marked with death. One stands alone, and she walks in the shadows of the past. Jasmine shines brighter, like a supernova in the darkness. A creature of true beauty and lost in time, you're the one to help. But they're the ones you're worried about? Dhampir, worry about yourself. Worry about you and worry about me. We're the ones who are young. Vasilissa and Rose didn't understand what the hell Adrian was talking about. which Dimitri thought was someone taking a trip to crazy-town.

Dimitri watched Adrian as he was calm and looked perfectly normal again. He turned away and strolled toward the window, glancing casually back at us as he pulled out his cigarettes. Adrian said, "You ladies should probably go." He's right. I am a bad influence." Wait! What is going on outside? Rose, Vasilissa, and Dimitri moved to the window and outside on the grounds. Vasilissa said, "Oh! No! They are playing Dodge Wars." Dimitri could see novice students hitting each other and knocking each other down. Rose said, "Shit!" I bet Jasmine in the middle of it. Dimitri thought that looked really fun.

Rose and Vasilissa followed Dimitri down the hall toward the lobby. Rose said that it was strange for Adrian to act like that. They both could tell that Dimitri didn't sound angry so much as puzzled.

When we reached the lobby, Rose asked, "Vasilissa going to watch Dodge Wars?" Vasilissa said, "I don't understand why we all think it would be fun to hit each other." Rose said, "Jasmine, Mason, Eddie, and I created the game years ago." Alberta said, "It would help with training." Dimitri said, "One day, Jasmine won't be around to save you. Both of you are going to have to learn to run together from strigoi. It trains more than just the Guardians and Novices. It's also for Moroi." Vasilissa said, "Maybe you are right! Guardian Belikov" I think I will go watch the game. " Rose said, "Christian is play!"

Rose said, "Dimitri." Can I talk to you? Dimitri's voice: That's Adrian Ivashkov. Rose said, "Yeah, I know. This is the third time I've seen you with him. Rose said, "Yeah." We hang out sometimes. Wait, are you keeping tabs on me? Dimitri said, "Yes! It's a good thing that I do. "

Dimitri arched an eyebrow, then jerked his head back toward where we'd come from. You hang out in his room a lot. Rose said, "What happens between him and me is none of your business." Dimitri said, "Actually, as long as you're at the academy, what you do is my business." Rose said, "Not my personal life."

You don't have any say in that.

Dimitri said, "You're not an adult yet." Rose said, "I'm close enough." Besides, it's not like I'll magically become an adult on my eighteenth birthday. "Dimitri said, "Clearly." "That's not what I meant." I mean, Dimitri said, I know what you meant. And the technicalities don't matter right now. You're an Academy student. I'm your instructor. It's my job to help you and to keep you safe. Being in the bedroom of someone like him... well, that's not safe." Rose said. I can handle Adrian Ivashkov. "He's weird - really weird, apparently, but harmless."

Rose, speaking of their personal lives. I suppose you were off visiting Tasha, huh? Dimitri said, "Actually, I was visiting your mother." Rose asked, "Are you going to hook up with her too?" It surprised Dimitri that Rose would say something like that about their mother. Dimitri said, "No, we were looking over some new data about the Strigoi in the Drozdov attack." Rose said, "What'd you find out?" Dimitri said, "We've tracked some of the Strigoi, or at least the humans with them." There were witnesses and videotapes from the vintner. Jasmine was right. We needed to look at tapes.

The humans that lived nearby spotted a few of the cars the group used. The plates were all from different states. The group appeared to have split up, probably to make it harder for us. But one witness did catch one plate number. It's registered to an address in Spokane. Rose said Spokane, Washington? Who makes Spokane their hideout? " Dimitri said, "Strigoi, apparently." The address was fake, but other evidence shows they really are there. There's a kind of shopping plaza that has some underground tunnels. There've been Strigoi sightings around that area. Rose frowned. "Are you going to go after them? Is somebody going to? I mean, this is what Tasha's been saying all along. If we know where they are, Dimitri shook his head. The guardians can't do anything without permission from higher up. That will not happen anytime soon."

Rose sighed. Because the Moroi talk too much. "Dimitri says they're being cautious," Rose said, "Come on. Even you can't want to be careful about this one. You actually know where the Strigoi are hiding out. Strigoi who massacred children. Don't you want to go after them? When they don't expect it? " As Dimitri said, "it's not that easy." "We answer to the Guardian Council and the Moroi government." We can't just run off and act on impulse. And anyway, we don't know everything yet. You should never walk into any situation without knowing all the details. "

Rose sighed. Her hand went through my hair, tucking it behind my ears. Rose asked, "why'd you tell me this, anyway? This is guardian stuff. Not the thing you let novices in on." Dimitri considered his words, and his expression softened. I've said a few things...the other day and today...that I shouldn't have. Things that insulted your age. You're seventeen...but you can handle and processing the same things those much older than you do." You're still really young in a lot of ways- and act young- but the only way to really change that is to treat you like an adult. I need to do that more. I know you'll take this information and understand how important it is and keep it to yourself."

When Jasmine's voice filled the air, I couldn't believe that Captain Alberta had rejected me from the game. Kim said, "You knocked out Stan and Guardian Damon." Jasmine said, "It is not my fault." He shouldn't have been standing there. Kim and Jasmine laugh. Rose started laughing to hear that Jasmine knocked out Stan. As Dimitri said, "Dodge Wars is a hell of a game." Rose said, "You do not know unless you play it."

Tasha Ozera walked up to us and said, "Dimka." She smiled when she saw me. "Hello, Rose. Rose's voice wasn't happy to see Tasha. Tasha placed a hand on Dimitri's forearm, sliding her fingers over the leather of his coat.

Tasha said, "You've got that look." Dimitri said, "What look?" The stern look he'd worn with Rose vanished. There was a small, knowing smile on his lips, almost a playful one. Tasha said, "That look that says you're going to be on duty all day." Dimitri said, "Really?" Do I have a look like that?" There was a teasing tone in his voice. She nodded. "When does your shift technically end?" Dimitri actually looked - I swear- sheepish. An hour ago, "

Jasmine walked up holding a cup of cocoa without marshmallows and said, "Cowboy, Rosie, and Natasha." Dimitri could see that Jasmine's eyes were gold again. Rose noticed that Tasha didn't speak Jasmine at all and didn't like it. Jasmine turned and looked at Tasha.

Dimitri looked at Jasmine. Dimitri said, "How was the game outside?" Jasmine said it was fun until I got rejected from the game for knocking out Stan and Damon. Dimitri said. New Rules! " Jasmine said, "Yes! Some of the new rules that Captain Alberta made for the game! Rose smiled and laughed.

Dimitri said, "Stan wasn't happy. Jasmine said," "I don't know." I sent him to the hospital wing. Dimitri started laughing. Rose said, "What about Damon?" "Jasmine said," while he bounds and then gets hit by Eddie, falling into him. Dimitri and Rose started laughing, leaving Tasha out of the joke.

Tasha said that the game sounded entertaining. Jasmine said, "You could join and find out how entertaining it is." Rose said, "They might need a new moroi." Dimitri realized Rose and Jasmine were trying to get Tasha hurt.

Tasha said, "You can't keep doing this. You need a break." Jasmine looked at Dimitri and could see one of Jasmine's hands, a small fire ball appeared. Dimitri said, "I can't right now." Knowing Jasmine could light Tasha's ass on fire at any given second. Tasha turns to Rose and, not looking at Jasmine, says, "I hope you realize what a hard-core role model you have here." He's never off duty. " Rose said, "Well, for now, at least."

Tasha looked puzzled. I don't think it occurred to her that Rose was making fun of her. Jasmine noticed Dimitri's dark eyes and looked at Rose. Dimitri knew exactly what Rose was doing. But the bigger problem was Jasmine. Dimitri said, "I needed to speak with Jasmine about something really important." Tasha said, "Dimka! What's wrong? "

Jasmine started breathing hard and fast. The lights started flickering on and off fast. Tasha said, "What is going on?" Rose said Maybe the lodge has electric prombles.

Dimitri reached out, grabbing Jasmine's arm and starting to move her way. Looking at the coco was boiling in the cup. Put it out and calm down, Dimitri said in a low voice. Jasmine started slowly breathing and counting. Tasha said Dimka! What is wrong? Dimitri said to Tasha, "Just stop." Dimitri saw the fire go out and the coco stopped boiling in the cup.

Jasmine said, "Will you meet me for dinner tonight?" Tasha said, "I'm busy!" Jasmine said, "Christian would like it if we would get along." Because you are his own family and I am his best friend. It would only be the right thing to meet for dinner together tonight. Dimitri and Rose looked at Jasmine, who couldn't understand what she was doing.

Tasha said, "Alright!" Jasmine said, "Great!" Christian will be pleased. I will meet you at six in the lobby. We will go together for dinner. But right now, I need to take a nap. Before I blow up this lodge, Jasmine spins around and starts walking away from Tasha and Rose. Rose said, "Tasha!" Don't think about skipping out on my sister. Tasha looked at Rose and said, "I wasn't planning on it."

Dimitri asked, "What was that about?" Jasmine said, "Christian asked me to have dinner with Tasha tonight to get alone with her." If she doesn't show, she will wish that she had. Dimitri looked at Jasmine. Jasmine said, "Don't worry, you are coming to dinner too."

(Dinner)

Dimitri knocked on Jasmine's guest bedroom door. Christian opened the door and said, "Hello! Guardian Belikov. It is always a pleasure to see you again. So are you going with Jasmine to dinner meet with my Aunt Tasha? " Dimitri said, "Yes!" Someone has to make sure that Jasmine doesn't kill Tasha."

Christian yelled, "Jasmine brings your sweet ass out here."

Vasilisa, Rose, and Jasmine walk out of Jasmine's bedroom. Jasmine was wearing a red sleeveless zipper A-Line party mini dress with red stilettos. Jasmine bangs were pulled back with a gold pin. Jasmine's eyes are done. Giving them a smokey look with red lipstick.

Both Christian and Dimitri mouth drop open at the sight of Jasmine.

Dimitri thought Jasmine was wearing a so sexy wearing that dress and that would love to take it off of her. Christian was thinking alone the same line as Dimitri.

Dimitri said, "Are you ready to go have dinner with Tasha?" Jasmine took a minute for herself, smiled, and said, "Yes!" Both Christian and Dimitri stepped back and thought, "What the hell?" Jasmine walked up to Dimitri, took him by the arm, and reached over to close Christian's mouth for him. Dimitri could see Jasmine was wearing her necklace around her neck. Dimitri and Jasmine started walking to the door. Rose said, "Don't forget the second part of the bet." Jasmine said, "Yes, Rosie."

Dimitri walked out of Jasmine's guest room, and Dimitri asked, "So you lost a bet?" Jasmine said, "Yes!" Dimitri asked, "What is the second part of the bet?" Jasmine said, "I have to be nice to Natasha." Dimitri looked at Jasmine and knew her friends were trying to kill her.

Dimitri could see every Moroi and Dhampier man staring at Jasmine while they walked down the hallway. Dimitri kept Jasmine close to him and away from every man in this log cabin. Dimitri found the jasmine scent and made it smell so sweet again. It started driving Dimitri into overdrive for Jasmine.

Jasmine and Dimitri reached the lobby. They waited five whole minutes for Tasha to arrive, but she didn't. Jasmine said, "I knew it! She ditched me. Dimitri couldn't believe that Tasha was treating Jasmine like trash. Jasmine walked over to the front desk. Jasmine asked, "the man working at the front desk to call up to Natasha Ozera's room and inform her that Guardian Belikov would be waiting for her in the restaurant."

Dimitri thought it was smart of Jasmine to tell her he would like to have dinner with her. She will come running to him. Just to find out it was Jasmine who tricked her. Dimitri and Jasmine walked away from the lobby and started heading to the restaurant.

(The Restaurant)

Tasha came walking into the restaurant wearing an embellished chiffon gown in the color of light blue. Tasha thought Dimitri saw a woman he could date. Tonight is going to be our night. Tasha came walking up to the table to discover Dimitri wasn't sitting alone. Tasha thought, Who is this whore with my Dinka? not realizing it was Jasmine.

Tasha asked, "Dinka! Who is this?" Jasmine turns her head and discovers that it was Jasmine. Jasmine said, "It is a pleasure that you join us for dinner." It is bad manners to keep your guests waiting. Tasha looked like Jasmine just as she slapped her across the face. Dimitri could see Jasmine was being in good manners.

Tasha could Jasmine was having honey garlic chicken wings with baked apples and bacon-wrapped stuffed mushrooms. Dimitri was having a chicken stack with baked potatoes and baked apples.

A waiter walked over to Jasmine's table with a glass of wine. The waiter said, "The man sent this drink over at the bar for the young woman." Jasmine said, "Thank you!"

Dimitri looked at the line of guys at the bar and said, "Which one?" The waiter said, "The man in the coal coat and jade eyes." Jasmine said, "Adrian Ivashkov." Dimitri reached out to take a drink, started drinking and put the empty glass back on his tray, thanking him for Guardian Belikov.

Dimitri turned Tasha said, "Tasha, please have a seat and we need to speak about actions with Jasmine." Tasha sat down next to Dimitri and said, "Alright! Dinka. Dimitri said, "Earlier today, Jasmine asked you for dinner." Christian thought it would be nice if his own family and his best friend could get along. But your actions towards Jasmine haven't been pleasant at all. Tonight, you plan to ditch Jasmine. But you jumped when you thought it was me calling you for dinner. That tells me you don't have any respect for my students or for me.

Tasha said, "Students?" Dimitri said, "Rose, Jasmine Hathaway, and I are their mentors." Don't be rude again, or this will be the last time I speak to you again.

Tasha looked into Dimitri's eyes again and started to use compulsion on him again. Jasmine kicked Dimitri in the knee, making him break the compel with Tasha. Dimitri said, "That hurt!" Tasha turned and looked at Jasmine in the eyes. Tasha tried our charm on Jasmine. Jasmine said, "Did you think that was going to work on Natasha Ozera?" Tasha looked surprised when Jasmine didn't fall under control at all and Jasmine's eyes turned gold.

Dimitri said, "Tasha!" Jasmine was right, said Dimitri. Do you compel people to get your way with people? " Tasha turns Dimitri's founding surprise that Jasmine knew about her using compelled on people. Tasha said, "Dimka, please forgive me." Dimitri said, "You win the bet and give Jasmine ten dollars." Jasmine said, "Thank you!"
