(February 13)

The wind blows down over the mountains, covering the ground, trees, and everything in fresh layers of snow. Jasmine had a fire burning in the fireplace, and as the smoke rose into the night sky. Jasmine had been in the mountains for almost two weeks by herself, completely isolated from the outside world. But Jasmine had enjoyed her time alone. She writes in her journal her thoughts and feelings about everything that has happened to her. Keep up with working out, reading, watching movies, cooking, and sleeping.

Jasmine was sitting on the sofa watching a movie, drinking hot cocoa and eating popcorn. With a loud knock on her door, Jasmine picked up the remote and pushed the pause button to the movie. Jasmine reached over and grabbed her silver stake from the coffee table. She moved over to the window and peered out to find three dark figures standing on the porch. Jasmine unlocked the door and pulled it open. Step back with fire in Jasmine's left hand and a silver stake in the right.

Jasmine demand, 'Who are you and why are you knocking on my door?" Jasmine Zoey Hathaway's voice cut through the night air, saying, "Jasmine Zoey Hathaway!" Jasmine said, "Maybe." Who the fuck are you? " Dimitri stepped through the frame of the door and said, "Put it out, baby girl." Jasmine said, "Cowboy!"

While Dimitri steps through the door, Rose says, "Hurry. I'm freezing out here. " Damon said, "We are in the middle of a fucking blizzard, Rose." Jasmine took a few deep breaths, and the fire disappeared from Jasmine's hand. Dimitri, Damon, and Rose walked into the living area and locked the door. Jasmine said, "I make coffee." Why don't we all warm ourselves by the fire? " Jasmine spun around, walked into the kitchen, leaving everyone in the living area.

Damon, Rose, and Dimitri walked into the kitchen, finding Jasmine's log cabin had a fully stocked kitchen. Rose said, "Damn, you were so lucky that you found this nice, beautiful looking log cabin in the mountains?" Jasmine said, "Thanks, Rosie." I just had to kill a strigoi for it. " Damon said, "Adrian stated it was one of them that raped you four years ago." Damon walked up behind Jasmine, giving her an enormous bear hug and asking, "How are you doing?" Jasmine said, "Great, now that all of you are." I have someone to talk to now. "

Dimitri said, "This log cabin was kind of hard to find off the beaten path. But I have good news for you. It's time for you to return to the academy." Jasmine said, "Have you lost your mind?" I have to be out here for a month. I think someone at the academy might have made a mistake, and all three arrived too soon to get me. "Plus, we are in the middle of a fucking blizzard."

Dimitri said, "There was a mistake made at the academy, and we found out that Queen Tatiana didn't send you out here." Jasmine said, "Do I still get credit for my fieldwork?" Dimitri said, "Yes." Jasmine said, "I hate to tell all of you that there's a blizzard outside." I'm not going out on it unless I have to get more firewood and check the generator. All of us are going to stay here until it passes. It's going to take a while until it does. "

Dimitri asked, "Where are the cups?" Jasmine reached up, opened the cabin, and said, "The can of milk is in the icebox, and sugar is right here." The spoon is in the drawer over there.

Rose walked across the floor, heading to get a spoon for their coffee. She stepped on the trapdoor to the root cellar and heard a creak. Rose froze in her tracks and started glancing around. Jasmine said, "It's OK. Rosie is just standing on the trapdoor that goes to the root cellar. " Damon said, "You have a root cellar?" Jasmine said, "Yes!" Rose reached down, pulled the rug back, and found a trap door on the floor.

Dimitri said, "Move Roza." Dimitri pulled out his stake from his belt and opened the trapdoor. Dimitri, Damon, and Rose looked into the trapdoor to see darkness. Dimitri was moving down stairs in the root cellar first, while Rose and Damon moved behind her. Jasmine reaches over and turns on the light. Damon, Rose, and Dimitri could see the root cellar stocked with food. Rose said, "Holy shit!"

Dimitri said, "There is a lot of food here that someone could live here for years." Jasmine said, "I know." Rose said, "I am hungry." Jasmine said, "When are you not hungry?" Damon said, "When she sleeps." Jasmine turns around and says, "Are you coming or are you staying down here all night?" Jasmine headed up the stairs to the log cabin. Dimitri, Damon, and Rose walked up to the log cabin.

The light started flickering on and off. Jasmine knew it was time to get firewood and check on the generator. She heads to the front door. Dimitri closes the trapdoor and turns around to find that Jasmine has left the kitchen.

Dimitri called out for the Jasmine and didn't get didn't answer back. Rose turned to see Jasmine's coat and the hat gone from the hook next to the front door. Rose said, "Jasmine has gone into the storm to get firewood and check on the generator. The power in the log cabin went out. "


(Thirty minutes later.)

When the front door opens and snow blows inside, Jasmine comes walking through it and carrying a basket full of firewood. Damon said, "Honey! Why didn't you wait for me? " Jasmine said, "I told all of you I had to get firewood and check on the generator." Maybe next time, all of you will listen to me.

When the lights started flickering on and off, that meant I couldn't wait around until you got your head out of your ass to do it. " Jasmine pushed the basket of wood in Damon's arms, and said, "Make yourself useful and stack the wood by the window away from the fireplace." Jasmine closes the door and locks it. Start by taking her coat, boots, hat, and gloves off.

Jasmine walked into the kitchen to make more hot cocoa. Dimitri walked up behind Jasmine, put his arms around her waist, and said, "Good to see you are taking charge." Jasmine looked up at Dimitri and said, "Being isolated out here in the mountains." You will learn to do things by yourself and can't wait around for someone to do it for me.

Dimitri said, "I think you have learned the lesson well." But now, I am here to help teach new lessons. It tasted better with two packs. " Jasmine looked up at Dimitri, and said, "Now!" I have picked more marshmallows out of a cup. Dimitri said, "I remember you don't like marshmallows." You don't like the smell and taste? You found the taste too sweet." Jasmine looked surprised to see Dimitri. He remembered that she didn't like marshmallows.

On that night four years ago, Adrian stated to me that "you killed one strigoi that hurt you years ago." Jasmine said, "Yes!" Levi Remington was the second one that took his turn on me. You know, the Strigoi have a big mouth. when they think they are going to win. I got information about the other two who raped me that night. Jeremy is here in the mountains somewhere, and Braxton is in Russia working for Galena. Dimitri froze and looked down at Jasmine, and said, Galena used to work at St. Basil's academy as an instructor." Jasmine looked sad, knowing Dimitri knew Galena, and said, "I'm sorry!" Dimitri said, "Baby girl, don't worry about it."

When the stainless steel tea kettles started whistling, Jasmine reached over the stove and turned it off. Reach down, picked the kettle with caution, and pouring slowly hot water into the orange coffee mug.

Dimitri said, "Baby girl, I would like to see the deed of the log cabin." Jasmine said, "It's up stairs in my bedroom in the pack." Dimitri said, "If you have done so, get your cocoa." Now let us go upstairs, and you can get the title to this log cabin and the letter that came with it. "

Jasmine, Dimitri, walked out of the kitchen to find Rose and Damon talking about something. Jasmine turns, heading up the stairs and walking down the hallway to her bedroom. Jasmine opened the bedroom door and walked inside with Dimitri following behind her, closing Jasmine's bedroom door behind him.

Jasmine sat down with her cup on the table, reached down and picked her pack off the floor. Put the backpack on the bed. She unzipped the middle zipper and reached down, pulling out a zip-lock bag with the title and the two letters, "map and deed," to the log cabin inside. Dimitri walked closer to Jasmine and took the zip-lock bag from her. Dimitri opened the zip-lock bag and pulled them out. Start reading them, and find Jasmine sent out here for a month by Queen Tatiana. Dimitri could see the letter looked right at Queen Tatiana's marks. Jasmine looked up at Jasmine, and said, "Someone has gone to a lot of work to get you out of the way."

Jasmine grabbed the letter from Dimitri, flipping it over and viewing the back of the document. She found a half faded N.I. upset down to the paper. Jasmine said, "Damn it!" Dimitri asked, "What did you find at the back of the document?" Jasmine said, "I believe the person for me to send out is Nathan Ivashkov." She revealed the half-faded N.I. was faded on the back near the bottom of the document. Dimitri said, "Why would Nathan Ivashkov send you out here?" Jasmine said, "Good question."

Jasmine looked at Dimitri and said, "Why are people trying to kill me?" Dimitri said, "I feel you get misjudged a lot or people don't understand you." But you will show them all. " Jasmine smiled at Dimitri.

Dimitri reached over and grabbed Jasmine pulled her closer and started kissing Jasmine. Wrapping his muscular arms around Jasmine's body and putting his hand on her ass made Jasmine moan, sending Dimitri into overdrive.

Hear Rose's and Damon's voices coming down the hallway, heading to the bedroom. Dimitri broke the kiss. Turn back to the title of the log cabin. Dimitri said, "Sorry!" Jasmine said, "Not the first time that we kissed and want be last time that we kiss. Dimitri smiled.

Rose and Damon walked into the bedroom to find Dimitri acting to read and Jasmine spiting her cocoa while sitting on the bed. Damon said, "What is going on? Jasmine just looked at Damon and said, "I was thinking about fixing dinner." Rose said, "What are you thinking about?" Dimitri and Damon are looking at Rose and Jasmine. Jasmine asked, "Do you want elk, bear, or rabbit?" Rose says, "Rabbit!" Jasmine said, "Do you want potatoes and carrots too?" Rose said, "Yes!" Dimitri and Damon laughed this time. Dimitri thought, "This time it is Rose and not Jasmine."


(The Kitchen)

Jasmine was standing in the kitchen, finishing up cooking wild rabbit fricassee with potatoes, carrots, and onions. Dimitri came into the kitchen and found Jasmine standing at the stove, turning the rabbit. He put his hands on her waist and looked over her shoulder. Jasmine glanced up at Dimitri, who stood behind her with his hands around her waist. Dimitri asked, "What are you cooking? It smells fantastic. " Jasmine said, "It's wild rabbit fricassee." Dimitri said, "It has a rabbit in it?" Jasmine said, "Rose wants to try some rabbit meat. So after cooking the rabbit, I found the rabbit tasted like chicken, and trust me, you will like it. "

Jasmine turned back to dinner and said dinner was ready. Dimitri said, "Let me help you remove that pan from the stove." So you don't get burned yourself. " Rose came into the kitchen and discovered Dimitri helping in the kitchen. Get the pan off the stove for Jasmine.

Rose said, "Comrade, I never knew you could cook. " Jasmine said, "Cowboy didn't cook dinner, sissy." I did. Jasmine pushed Rose out of the way to the opening of the icebox. Rose asked, "Can I help you in the kitchen?"

Jasmine reached into the icebox and pulled out the red wine. Dimitri said, "Jasmine! Where in the hell did you get that wine from? " Jasmine said, "Root cellar, their wine rakes downstairs." I don't know anything about wine or if it's worth anything or what it tastes like.

Damon came into the kitchen and asked, "What are we having for dinner?" Jasmine said, "Wild Rabbit Fricassee with potatoes, carrots, and onions." Damon said, "My mother used to cook wild rabbit fricassee with tomatoes, and it is the best meal that I ever had." Rose and Jasmine just looked at each other and then back at Damon. Jasmine said, "Good for her." Damon looked oddly at Jasmine. Dimitri said, "Jasmine is allergic to tomatoes." could die from eating them." Jasmine said, "Good thing that I have an Epi-Pen in my pack upstairs just in case." Dimitri said, "That is good to know that Epi-pen just encases we have used it on you." Damon said, "I didn't know you couldn't have tomatoes." Jasmine said, "Bullshit! I have told you a few times, but you listen to me.

Damon grabbed Jasmine and pulled her close to him. Damon said, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings or upset you." Dimitri didn't like seeing Damon being forceful with Jasmine again. Jasmine pushed away from Damon and said, "I need to finish dinner." Please let go of me. Damon let go of Jasmine.

Everyone started getting their plates. Start eating and talking to each other in the living area. Dimitri was telling Adrian about a party. Jasmine said, "I'm not surprised to hear that Adrian threw a party." Rose went to the Adrian party. "Rose drinks way too much." Rose said, "Because of Adrian." Jasmine said, "No surprise there. We all know that Rosie can't hold her alcohol. Besides, Adrian got the hots for Rosie. " Rose said, "Jasmine." Jasmine said, "I have a video of Rose drinking too much." Damon said, "I don't think Jasmine has ever drunk alcohol before." Rose, Jasmine, and Dimitri started laughing. Jasmine said, "Unlike Rose." I hold alcohol. " Damon looked surprised to find that Jasmine had a drink.


A few hours later,

Jasmine started yawning and said, "I guess it's time for bed. We all had a long day. Hell, I can't tell if it's day or night around here. " Dimitri looked down at his watch and said, "Night time." Jasmine said, "Human or Moroi time." Dimitri said, "Human!" Jasmine said, "I have four bedrooms and two bathrooms in a log cabin."

Dimitri told Damon that he needed to help check all the windows and doors before going to bed. Just make sure nothing can get inside. Jasmine and Rose went upstairs. Rose was shown to her bedroom upstairs. While Dimitri and Damon check the windows and doors.

Jasmine was in her master's bedroom getting ready for bed. Damon was checking the window at the end of the hall. Stop turns to see the master door a little open and peeks in to find Jasmine wearing nothing but red lace underwear. He found her sexy looking, making his dick twitch and get horny. Damon could see her scar on her back had healed a little more than the last time she saw her nude. Damon's moving eyes down her body and seeing her back and ass looked to make Damon fucking horny. Jasmine reached down to pick up the white crop-top. Start putting it on the cover's beautiful breast that Damon wants so badly to touch and give a good squeeze, making her moan. Damon could see that the crop-top fit her body like a glove. Jasmine started slowly walking over to the bathroom and started brushing her teeth. Damon turns around, going to check all the other windows and doors as quickly as he could. He started to have a lot of dirty thoughts running through his mind.

(Ten minutes later.)

Damon was heading to Jasmine's bedroom. He slowly reached down and grabbed the doorknob. Dimitri stepped out of the shadows behind Damon and asked, "Why are you going into Jasmine's bedroom for?" Damon stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around to face Dimitri.

Damon said, "I'm just going to check on Jasmine." I want to make sure everything is alright before I go to bed. " Dimitri had the feeling Damon was lying to him.

Dimitri said, "I just checked on the baby girl. She is sleeping. I forbid you to enter her bedroom at anytime. " Damon said, "Checking on Jasmine is a good reason." Dimitri stepped closer to Damon, keeping his voice low, and said, "I feel you are hiding more real reason than planning on Jasmine's bedroom." Damon said, "Are you out of your mind?" Dimitri said, Guardian Janine Hathaway told me to keep her daughters safe, even from people like you.

Damon said, "I'm not the bad guy." Not like Natasha Ozera, who tries to kill Jasmine. " Dimitri said, "But it's time for you to return to your room and get some sleep. Your shift is for the next four hours. " Damon started across the hall to his bedroom. Dimitri knew if anyone was going to sleep in Jasmine's bed, it was going to be him or Rose and Jasmine.
