(Three Days later)
(Roza's disciplinary)
Dimitri and Jasmine were heading to the meeting room. Jasmine asked, "what is going on?" Dimitri said, "one student is having disciplinary issues." Jasmine asked, "which student?" Dimitri said, "Roza." Jasmine cocked her head to right and looked puzzled that Rose would have disciplinary issues. Dimitri asked, "why do you cock your head?" Jasmine said, "when I am puzzled about something." Dimitri said, "interesting." Both Dimitri and Jasmine walked into the meeting. Dimitri told Jasmine to watch and stay quietly. Jasmine nods her head at Dimitri, finding their seat. Discover the Rosie disciplinary issues already started. Jasmine remembers the look on Rosie's face as if she saw a spirit or strigoi.
Alberta, Emil, and Celeste sat at a long table, looking imposing, while Rose sat in a single chair and felt very vulnerable."Alberta said, "Miss Hathaway." We have a hard time believing in you. As stated in Guardian Alto and Jasmine Hathaway's reports, you refused to protect two Moroi, including the one whose protection you were specifically assigned to. Jasmine cocked her head at Alberta's statement of having Jasmine report.
Jasmine turns her head to Dimitri and says in a low voice, "That can't be right." Dimitri turned his head, looking at Jasmine, and asked, "What do you mean?" Jasmine said, "I don't understand how they have my report." When I haven't turned it into Captain Alberta yet." Dimitri was surprised to find out that Jasmine hadn't turned her report in. Remember when Dimitri finds Jasmine in the cafeteria. Jasmine was writing a report on a fight that she watched. It must have been Roza's fight. " Dimitri asked, "Do you have your report with you?" Jasmine unzipped her jacket, reached inside her pocket, and pulled it out. Dimitri reached for Jasmine's report and stood up.
Dimitri said, "Guardian Petrov." Alberta said, "Guardian Belikov." Is there something that you would like to say? " Dimitri said, "Yes! "Guardian Petrov." Rose turned to Dimitri who was standing next to her, and said, "I believe the report in front of you is fake." Because I have Jasmine's true statement right here with me. " Alberta asked, "Why do you think the statement is fake?" He held his hand up and said, "I have here Jasmine Hathaway's true report about what happened when Stun Alto attacked Rose Hathaway."
Alberta said, "Is Jasmine Hathaway here now?" Jasmine stood up from her seat and said, in a calming voice, "Yes, Captain Alberta." Alberta said, "Please come to the table and bring your report with you." Jasmine walked over to Dimitri and took her report, walking over to the table.
"Alberta said, "Now inspect this report and tell us if this is your handwriting?" Jasmine looked down for a few seconds, looked back up at Alberta's eyes, and said in a clear voice, "No, Captain Alberta, it isn't my handwriting." Alberta reaches her right hand out to Jasmine reports. Jasmine had to make her report to Captain Alberta. Alberta unfolded Jasmine's report and original handwriting was so different all together.
Jasmine flicked her eyes over to Stan and Alto. Observe his face; he looks concerned about something. Moving her eyes back on Alberta, Emil, and Celeste watch their faces when they read Jasmine's accurate report about what happened before, during, and after Stan attacked Rose. Alberta looked up at Jasmine and said, "Thank you for this new information on what you fully view. It has cleared up a lot of questions for us. Now please return to your seat. " Jasmine said, "Yes, Captain Alberta." Turn around and walk right by Rose. Look down at her. Rose was looking at Jasmine's eyes, which looked sad about something. making Rose feel that there was something wrong. But she couldn't put her finger on it.
Alberta, Emil, and Celeste started reading Jasmine's accurate statement about what happened in Rose's attack. They found the handwriting differed from the fake report. Finding Jasmine stated a lot more than what was in both reports. They had a whispered conference that took about five full minutes. Alberta gave a resigned nod, and the others leaned back.
Alberta said, "Miss Hathaway, do you have anything you'd like to say before we tell you our conclusions?" Rose said in a meek voice, "No! Guardian Petrov. Because the suspicion is entirely removed, you'll be spending your day off this week doing community service. " Rose stood and said, "What?" Dimitri's hand was wrapped around my wrist, his fingers warm and controlling. "Sit down," he murmured in my ear, tugging me toward the chair. "Take what you can get." "If that's a problem, we can make it next week, too," warned Celeste. "And the next five after that." Rose sat down and shook her head. "I'm sorry. Thank you. "
After Rosie's disciplinary issues, Alberta told Rose to go find a Christian. But Dimitri asked, "if he could have some time alone with Rose." Alberta agreed, no doubt hoping Dimitri set Rose on the straight and narrow. Dimitri took Rose to a water dispenser, coffee maker, and other beverages. "Do you want some hot chocolate?" Rose said, "Sure." As Dimitri said, "doubling it is the secret." When the cups were full, Dimitri turns his head to find Jasmine and Guardian Petrov talking about something important about Guardian Stan Alto. The reason Dimitri knew that was because Jasmine had pointed her finger at him. Dimitri wishes he could understand what is being said. Seeing Guardian Petrov's face change, he looked over to Stan Alto and back to Jasmine giving nod with a smile.
(Little Talk)
Rose and Dimitri stepped through the doorway and found both of them in a little glass-enclosed porch filled with small patio tables. Rose did not know this porch was adjacent to the meeting room. Dimitri swept his hand over a chair, brushing off the dust. Rose did the same and sat down opposite him.
Dimitri asked, "What happened out there?" You didn't crack under the pressure. " Rose was looking down into her cup, saying, "Unless you believe Stan's report." Dimitri said, "I don't believe that." I never did. I knew you'd be unhappy. When you find out about the assignments, But I never once doubted that you'd do what you'd have to for this. I knew you wouldn't let your personal feelings impede your duty. " Jasmine thought that this would make you a stronger fighter if you weren't around Vasilissa all the time.
Rose flicked her eyes up at Dimitri and asked, "What does my sister have to do with my assignments to Christian?" Dimitri said, "Jasmine, help with assignments." She believing if you weren't around Vasilissa all the time. You wouldn't miss something if it happen. Besides, working with Christian might help you in the long run. Rose said, "Jasmine knows Vasilissa means a lot to me." Dimitri just looked at Rose and said, it seems you care more for Vasilissa. Then you care about what is happening with your twin sister, Jasmine, right now." Rose said, "I care about Jasmine." Dimitri said, "actions speak louder than words. Roza."
Rose looked down at cocoa again. Remembering Jasmine's sad eyes when seen her earlier. Realized that Jasmine lost in the storm. Dimitri asked, "did you ever stop to think about the stuff that Jasmine might go through right now?" Rose said, "No! Jasmine always seems strong. I guess sissy has been hiding it from us." Dimitri said, "Jasmine crying out for help. But all of you seem always too busy to help her. But Jasmine would be there if you needed help." Rose keeps looking at cocoa and realized that being a terrible sister, too little sister.
Dimitri said, "the night we return from the mountains. The way Vasilissa, Eddie, Adrian, and Christian were happy to see you. The way they treated Jasmine acting like she wasn't standing there at all. They never spoke to Jasmine or asked what happen to her. All acted as if Jasmine wasn't standing or care about her.
They all want to talk to you. Vasilissa, Eddie, Adrian, and Christian haven't spoken to Jasmine for almost two months and you haven't spoken to in a month. Rose started feeling bad about leaving her twin sister alone for so long. Rose realized that need to talk to the others about Jasmine. "Asking are we done here?"
Dimitri just looked at Rose. Rose said, I need to go found Christian and speak to the other about sissy."
Dimitri walked out of Meeting Hall and walking out into the night, winter air. A blasted cold air in his face, taking breath his away and started heading to the tower. When Dimitri's cellphone ringing. Dimitri reaching down into his pocket, pulling out his cellphone and discovering saw the name of the caller ID was Belikov.
Dimitri's answer said, "Hello in Russian." When Grandmother Yeva's voice said, Dimka. I calling to inform you the peace keepers and I will arrive at the academy in three hours. I want you to come with meet us on the airstrip. Dimitri could his grandmother's voice was hard and stronger. Each word that she spoke. Dimitri turn around and started walking to Alberta's office still on the phone. Being surprising that his Grandmother Yeva and the keeper would arrive airport in three hours. Grandmother Yeva said, "make sure that Jasmine doesn't come with you. Jasmine must the for her safe with guardians around her."
Dimitri thought his grandmother had a lot of secrets. Finding that, she knew the Peace keeper over the element. Understand why his grandmother sent Jasmine the tea and sure Jasmine drink it. Hung up with Grandmother Yeva and heading to Alberta's office inform Alberta about the keepers where come and they need meet them at the airstrip in three hours.
(Captain Alberta)
Dimitri arrived at Alberta's office door, could hear Alberta's voice was yelling at some inside. Dimitri knocked on the door, and Alberta said, "Enter!" Dimitri opens the door and stepped inside to discover Stan Alto sitting in front of Alberta's desk. Dimitri could tell Alberta wasn't in the mood for Stan's bullshit right now.
Alberta said, "Stan, can you tell me why in hell would you write Jasmine Hathaway's statement about what happened with Rose?" Stan said, "I didn't write it." Alberta said, "Stop with bullshit, Stan. I saw your face. When Jasmine hands me her report. Understand you are in big trouble for fraud, a statement to make you look more valued here at the academy. Jasmine stated that seem Guardian Alto seems happy to be attacking Rose Hathaway, maybe for some past grievances or yelling matches that to get in class." Stan just looked at Alberta with an upset look on his face.
Stan said, "Why would Jasmine Hathaway say something like that to guardians?" Alberta said, "because I told Jasmine Hathaway to write everything that she saw with the students and the guardians." The program is not just for testing students. It also tests the guardians as well. You failed Stan. " Stan surprised Jasmine writes that because he is happy to attack Rose. Alberta said, "do it again. I will report to you to the Guardian Council." Stan said, "I understand! But understand that I didn't write her report." Alberta said, Bullshit! Jasmine is turn her reports over own me alone. Stan jump to his feet and said, "Are we done here." I have things to do." Started walking by Dimitri. Stan looked Dimitri in eyes before walking out Alberta's office.
Alberta said, "Now, what can I do for you, Guardian Belikov?" Dimitri said, "I am here to inform you I just received a call from my grandmother that peace keeper's will arrive airport in three hours." Alberta's head snapped up from looking at the papers on her desk, and said, "that doesn't give us much time to get everything in order on their arrival."
Dimitri said, "Grandmother, inform me that Jasmine must stay at the academy under the safety of guardians until the meeting takes place and time." That will see a change in Jasmine tomorrow or the next day. But Jasmine has already started changing her mood and coming more alive. I would if Jasmine would work out more. " Alberta said, Tomorrow Jasmine has the gym to herself as long as she needs it, and she started talking to Deirdre about her feelings." Dimitri said, "Grandmother has more information about what everything that will take place." Alberta said, "Something tells me that the next few days will something."
