(March 22)
Dimitri knocked on Captain Guardian Petrov's office door. Heard Alberta barked to come in. When Dimitri opens the door to Captain Guardian Petrov's office, he finds Alberta on the telephone.
Alberta said, "Yes! Guardian Hathaway, I understand Headmistress Kirova did break the rules. When it comes to having any novices in her office with her without a guardian or myself with them, "No, we don't know where Jasmine is right now." It seems that Jasmine is a lot smarter than we give her credit for. I do agree that we find a way to get Jasmine back into the academy. Hang up the telephone.
Alberta took a deep breath and turned to Dimitri. Alberta said, "What can I do for you today, Guardian Belikov?" Dimitri said, "I take it, Guardian Hathaway was upset to find out daughter Jasmine was kicked out of the academy?" Alberta said, "That is the understatement of the year. That is one pissed-off mother."
Dimitri said, "Jasmine is at her cabin in the mountains." Alberta said, "Good to know." Then I don't have a problem sending you to the mountains to watch over Jasmine until we get a shit figure out here at the academy.
There was a knock on the Alberta office door. When Dimitri opens the door, he finds his grandmother and a mystery woman. Both Yeva and the mystery woman walked into Alberta's office. Dimitri closed the door behind them and said, "Captain Guardian Petrov." I would like you to meet my grandmother, Yeva, and the other peace keepers. Alberta says, "It's nice to meet you both." Alberta said, "What is your name?" The mystery woman said, "Elatha Conner."
Alberta asked, "What can I do for both of you today?" Yeva said, "We know that you are sending Dimka to Jasmine log cabin in the mountains today." We would like to join him on the journey. "Alberta seems shocked that both women knew that Guardian Belikov was being sent to guard Jasmine. " "Dimitri wasn't surprised that his grandmother knew things."
Alberta said, Please understand the academy is on complete full lock-down? That means to know one gets in or out of this place. Guardian Belikov is being sent to guard Jasmine. But I can't let you go with him. Elatha turns to stare at Guardian Petrov's eyes. Elatha said, Guardian Petrov. We understand that the academy is completely locked down. But you don't seem to understand that Jasmine's transformation has already started. We are the only ones' that can guide her through it. "You will let us pass!" Alberta was looking Elatha in the eyes getting the feeling that she need let them go with Guardian Belikov.
Alberta reached over and picked up the telephone. It's called a garage to have a SUV full of gas and sitting in the parking lot. Yeva turned to Dimitri and said, "Go pack." "We are leaving soon." Dimitri said "Yes!" grandmother. Knowing that Elatha did something to Guardian Petrov, she made him do as she asked.
(Hour Later)
Dimitri stands next to the SUV with Grandmother and Elatha, watching Vasilisa, Rose, Eddie, Adrian, and Christian question Guardian Damon. They remembered Damon took Jasmine to see the Headmistress two days ago.
Rose asked, "We all know that you took Jasmine to see Headmistress Kirova." Eddie said, "You know the rules." Any novice must be with an Alberta or guardian when entering Headmistress Kirova's office. Damon said Headmistress Kirova told me to speak to Jasmine about something important. Christian said it was important alright. Headmistress Kirova decided to kick Jasmine out of the academy. Damon said, "What did you say?" Where is Jasmine right now? Vasilisa said no one knows. Where my guardian is gone. It is all your fault.
Damon didn't know that two days ago would be the last time he would walk with Jasmine. giving her the silent treatment, thinking the best way to ask her out on a date with him is to never get to look at Jasmine's shiny face again. breaking his heart. Adrian could see Damon's aura and felt sadness, love, and heartbreak.
Yeva said. Come on, Dimka! Time to leave. My night flower is waiting for our arrival. The changes have started and we must guide her to her path. Dimitri said "Yes!" to Grandma. Dimitri opens the front passage door for his grandmother and opens the back passage for the mystery woman to get into the SUV. Help Yeva and the mystery woman get inside of the SUV.
When Dimitri touched Elatha Conner's hand, it felt like a warmth ran through his hands and arms. Dimitri felt calm and everything was alright with the world. Turn and look at Rose one more time. "Finding Rose gives hell to Damon." "Dimitri thought that she would give him hell for what he had done to Jasmine. Walking around the SUV and climbing inside started driving to the gates of the academy.
(Six hours later)
Dimitri walked into the kitchen and found Jasmine standing at the counter, dancing to the music and cutting up deer meat into strips. The name of the song is
Jasmine was standing at the counter cutting up deer meat for her deer stir fry. She was going to cook for herself and listen to her music. Dancing to the song "Akon ft. Eminem - Smack that".
When there was a loud knock on the front door, Jasmine paused and thought to herself, Who the fuck is knocking on my door? She walked into the living room and grabbed her silver stake off the end table. Jasmine walked over to the window and looked out the window to see three 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 asked, "Who are you, and why in the hell are you knocking on my door?" Dimitri walked forward and said, "Jasmine." Put it out. Jasmine said, "Damn it, cowboy." Jasmine's fire disappeared from her left hand. Demand: Why in the hell are you here? Dimitri said I have a few good reasons for driving all the way here. Jasmine said, "I would like to know what they are."
Yeva yelled, "Dimka move."
Dimitri steps to the side. Jasmine said, "Grandmother Yeva." Welcome to my home. Please come in and warm yourself by the fire. Yeva walked inside and said, "This is Elatha Conner." Jasmine just stands in place and gazes at Elatha Conner. Get the same feeling that came over Jasmine. Jasmine was standing outside the guest quarters back at the academy. At this, Dimitri moved to Jasmine's side and, smelling her scent hadn't changed, this made Dimitri want Jasmine for himself.
Jasmine and Elatha stared at each other, forgetting about everyone else in the living room.
Dimitri called Jasmine's name. But Jasmine didn't hear him or pay attention. Yeva, realizing what was happening, stepped into the line of sight between Jasmine and Elatha. Yeva asked, "What is for dinner?" Jasmine snapped out of it and said, "I'm making deer stir fry." Yeva said, "That sounded wonderful." Jasmine turns around, walks into the kitchen, and leaves everyone in the living room. Dimitri could see Jasmine wearing a white yoga tank top with black lace underwear and her hair free from her braids.
Dimitri walked behind Jasmine. He reached around her waist and pulled her to him. Dimitri said, "Damn! baby girl. You look sexy, and you smell so damn good. Jasmine looked up at Dimitri and gave a sexy smile that drove her crazy. Dimitri looked into Jasmine's eyes, seeing them golden and not her natural light brown. Leaning down, he started kissing Jasmine with passion and was enjoying his time with Jasmine.
The grandmother walked into the kitchen to find her grandson kissing her night flower in front of the counter. Yeva smiled to see her grandson enjoying himself.
"Yeva said, "Dimka!"
Dimitri pulled back and said, "Yes, grandmother." Jasmine smiled at Dimitri, knowing Yeva had caught them both kissing. Yeva said we both needed to rest. Can you show us our bedrooms? Dimitri said, "Yes!" grandmother. Tell Jasmine to stay and don't run off again. Jasmine said, "I am cooking dinner." Turn back to finish cutting the deer meat before moving on to vegetables.
(Five minutes later)
Dimitri walked back into the kitchen, finding Jasmine still standing in front of the counter cutting up vegetables for the deer stir-fry. Dimitri walked up behind Jasmine and could smell that the scent hadn't changed. He reached around her waist, and pulled her to him again.
Dimitri asked Baby Girl, What was with the staring match in the living room? Jasmine said, "What do you know about Elatha Conner?" Dimitri said Elatha and grandmother are peace keepers. Jasmine replied, "You are half right!" Grandmother Yeva is the peace keeper. But Elatha Conner is an Element! ""Dimitri was caught off guard to find out all this time that Elatha Conner was an element." Jasmine said, "When we were walking by the guest quarters." I could feel her and Grandmother Yeva.
Dimitri said, "Grandmother didn't tell me." Elatha Conner is an element. Jasmine said, "Oops!" Dimitri reached down and pulled her jaw, making her look at him. Saying "no more oops!" That fourth time you told me, "Oops!" He leaned down and started kissing Jasmine with passion.
Jasmine said, "You do know you could help cook?" It would make preparing dinner easier. Dimitri said, "I could help you cook or have fun playing with you instead." Jasmine said, "If you help me cook, it would give us more time to play with each other later." Dimitri reached out, taking the knife away from Jasmine, and said, "Move sweet ass over." Jasmine said, "Don't cut yourself." Dimitri started by cutting the mushrooms, carrots, and green and red peppers.
When the lights started to flicker and the power went out, Jasmine said, "This was great." Dimitri said to go and check on the generator and get more firewood. Jasmine said, "Not alone." You know the rules. What if they heard something breaking in the ward around the cabin. Dimitri said as a guardian. I have kept all of you safe. Jasmine said, "What is your point?" I am not part of the academy anymore. If you remember, that bitch kicked me out. So I broke her nose." Dimitri smiled to hear that Jasmine broke Kirova's nose and said, "Alberta is trying to get you back in the academy." Jasmine said that Alberta was sweet.
Jasmine said But right now, I have to go upstairs and put on jeans. So we can go check on the generator and get more firewood. Jasmine spun around and started walking away. Dimitri slapped Jasmine's ass, making her jump. Jasmine is rubbing her buttch. Dimitri grabbed Jasmine's waist, pulling her to him, and spun her around to make her look at him. Dimitri said, "Remember who is speaking to a little girl?" Jasmine looked up at Dimitri's deep dark brown eyes, putting Jasmine's hands-on Dimitri's chest. Dimitri gazed into Jasmine's eyes as she reached up to place her hands on both sides of Jasmine's face. Bend down and start kissing Jasmine's want for passion, desire, lust, and pleasure for each other.
Yeva yelled, "Dimka! What is going on? All the power has gone off." Jasmine said, "Everything is alright, grandmother Yeva." Dimka and I have to go outside. To check on the generator and get more firewood for the fireplace. It will take about ten to thirty minutes to get the power back on. Jasmine walks out of the kitchen and heads upstairs to put on leggings.
Yeva said Dimka! You must control yourself. I understand that my night flower scent has changed. which makes your testosterone rise and makes you want to fuck badly. You must remember what I told you. You have to wait until we have finished with the tests. Before long, you can have her all to yourself. Dimitri said, "Grandmother." It is so hard to stay away from her. Jasmine smells so good. Yeva stood looking at Dimitri and said, "Try."
Jasmine stands at the top of the stairs listening to every word Yeva and Dimitri speak. Jasmine walked down the stairs. walked over and picked up her silver stake and walked over to get her coat. Dimitri walked behind Jasmine. Jasmine reached down, picking up the basket and unlocking the front door. Yeva said be careful. Jasmine said that plan. She was walking out in the snow with Dimitri right behind her.
(Thirty minutes later)
The front door opens, and Dimitri and Jasmine walk inside. Jasmine was carrying a basket full of firewood. Dimitri was describing how Damon gets cornered by Vasilisa, Christian, Rosie, Eddie, and Adrian. Jasmine said the question they should have been asking is why in the hell he slept with Tasha.
Dimitri looked at Jasmine and asked when he slept with Tasha. Jasmine said, "The night left to do my fieldwork." Right after you kick her ass out of the tower. because she didn't bring me a gift. Tasha was surprised to find out that her plan hadn't worked. Dimitri asked, "How do you know that he slept with Tasha?" Jasmine said because of the security cameras in the hallway leading to his bedroom and the hidden camera in Damon's bedroom.
Dimitri said, "Jasmine!" Jasmine said, "What?" Dimitri said, "It sounds to me that you have an academy completely wired with cameras and microphones." Jasmine smiled at that statement.
Grandmother Yeva came out of the kitchen and said dinner was almost done. Jasmine said, "Thank you, Grandmother Yeva." Thanks for finishing cooking for us. Yeva said, "You're welcome." Jasmine walked over to the fireplace and started stacking the wood next to the next wall away from the fireplace. Dimitri walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Elatha watched as Jasmine started stacking the wood by the wall. She asked Jasmine to come sit with me and let us talk about when your magic first appeared? Jasmine turned and looked at Elatha. Jasmine turned back and didn't say anything at first. until she was done stacking the wood. Jasmine walked over and sat down on Dimitri's lap. Dimitri put his left arm around Jasmine's waist and pulled her to him. Dimitri knew it was painful to remember. Jasmine said, "So you want to know what caused the powers to come out?" Elatha said yes! Jasmine said, "Let me tell you a bedtime story."
Jasmine said The year was 2002. I had just won gold at the World Olympics in Washington, D.C. for figure skating. I was the youngest at Preliminary at the age of thirteen years old. Dimitri and Elatha were fully surprised to find out Jasmine was top level at that age. Jasmine said, "I beat out Russia, China, and Japan.
The SUV that I was riding in was attacked by strigoi about ten miles away from St. Vladimir's Academy. The strigoi killed everyone, including all the guardians. leaving me the only one alive. But they had the worst plan for me. Four strigoi took turns rapping me, breaking my bones, and biting me while they took their turn. But the fourth one went to take his turn. He reached down to bite me and used my silver stake to kill him.
They smiled, laughed, and watched each other take their turn. I cry and scream from all the pain running through my body. I pray for death to make the pain go away. But death didn't come for me. They left me on the side of the road under a die strigoi with my blood on it. I heard them laugh evilly. Braxton said, "Cors took a good deep drink from the little bloodwhore." They didn't realize Cors was dead on top of me. That is when I made my first kill. When used, the silver stake killed him before he could bite down.
I lay there for hours until Guardian Damon and Captain Alberta found me. The only reason that Damon found me was that I grabbed his leg, making him look down and find me laying nude, covered in blood, and under a dead strigoi. Damon called out, saying that he had found someone alive. Captain Alberta was surprised to find anyone alive. That was the last thing I remember before blacking out because the blood was lost. I had Guardian Damon and Captain Alberta remove the dead strigoi from on top of me. Captain Alberta said everything would be better.
A week later, I wake up in the hospital wing of the academy. Scream with both hands-on fire after a nightmare. It lasted a few seconds and disappeared from my hands. Dr. Olendzk and Captain Alberta rushed into the room to find out that someone had woken up. Dr. Olendzk was full of surprises. telling me that my body was healing faster than most Dhampiers do.
Elatha and Dimitri were sitting there on the sofa. Elatha had tears in her eyes after hearing Jasmine's story. Finding out what causes Jasmine's magic to come out. Dimitri now understood why it caused pain. Jasmine starts to talk about what happened that night four years ago. He pulled Jasmine to him, cuddling her. Dimitri started rubbing Jasmine back and singing his mother Russian Lullaby.
Yeva heard Jasmine talking about what happened four years ago. Bringing her to tears in her eyes. Thinking about how her night flower had lived through the worst pain that anyone could live through started hearing Dimitri sing Olena's Russian lullaby. Remember that Olena would sing a lullaby to calm Dimitri and his sisters when young, to get them to fall asleep or calm down. Yeva walks into the living room and finds Jasmine laying her head on Dimitri's shoulder. Dimitri kept singing and I could see that Jasmine was starting to fall asleep. Yeva said it was time for dinner.
Dimitri stops singing his mother's lullaby. Reaching out and touching the side of Jasmine's face, she finds that Jasmine is sleepy. After dinner, it will be bedtime for you. Yeva said we have a lot of work to do tomorrow with the first test.
"These tests are not going to hurt the baby girl." Dimitri asked. Yeva said the first test she will have to face with great fear is The second test will determine her power. It is the most important test of all. Dimitri said, "What does the stroll have to do with all of this?" Elatha said Jasmine had already opened the puzzle box. Dimitri said yes! Yeva asked, Did Jasmine open the scroll? Dimitri said "No!" The scroll has the same mark as the oak tree that Grandmother has on it. Jasmine saw the echo of the pass. Elatha and Yeva looked at each other.
Yeva said that is a strong power. What other powers can Jasmine do? Dimitri said if I had my journal I could tell you things that Jasmine could do. Jasmine said, "I took your notebook with me when I left, and it's in my safe weapon room with the puzzle box." Dimitri looked down at Jasmine, finding that she hadn't fallen asleep. Dimitri asked, "What kind of weapon room?" Jasmine said, "The one in the bedroom." Dimitri said, "You will half show me the safe room."
Yeva said we would talk about Jasmine's powers at dinner. Jasmine moves on from Dimka, so she goes to get the notebook. Jasmine and Dimitri moved upstairs to show her weapons room to Dimitri. while Yeva and Elatha went into the kitchen to get dinner.
