Chapter 7

******

(Shopkeeper POV)

It was almost closing time and I had just put away the last of the orders. I would deal with them later. I heard the door open.

"I'll be right with you." I called, before turning and staring at three men in black robes. Their hoods were down, and I noticed that they had very light skin, and red eyes. It made me kind of nervous. "Can I help you with something?"

"Yes." One of the men spoke. He had dark black hair and was taller than me. "Has anyone come into here asking about potions? A woman perhaps?"

I thought for a while before answering. "Why, yes. There was a woman in here the other day. Wore a robe just like that." I explained, pointing to their similar robes.

"Did you see what she looked like?" He asked.

"No. She was wearing a hood, I couldn't see." I explained. "But she was short, and very small."

"What did she want from you?"

"She wanted a couple potions made. Paid good money too." I explained.

"Did she have a name?"

"She said her name was Jane." His eyes flashed with anger, for a brief moment.

"Thank you." he said nodding. And silently the three left the store without another word.

**** Jasmine POV ****

I bolted from the room…racing down the halls after Jane. I was furious. She was going to die! I caught up with her easily…but taking down Jane was much harder with her formidable gift. Luckily, I would see what she was going to do a second before she did it, therefore taking the upper hand.

"Why?!" I screeched at her.

"I didn't do anything!" She screamed back.

"Wrong again!" I taunted. "I saw you… Hello? Visions…Remember?" I tapped my temple with my finger briefly.

"You're crazy!" She shot back, circling me again. "Just because you have a vision doesn't mean I actually killed them!"

I stopped. "Oh, But it does. They will believe me over you. You're just jealous that you're not Aro's little pet anymore…You get pissed. So you go to the nearest shop, buy poison, and slip it in their drinks." I taunted.

"They will never believe you." Jane hissed. "I'll tell them it was all your fault."

"Admit it, Jane…You lose. I win….Felix and two others are coming back from the potion shop right now ready to tear you to pieces."

"That's a LIE! And you know it!" Jane growled back, her fury lacing every word with hate.

"Look at the evidence, Jane." I pointed out. "It all points to you." I used my fingers to point out everything. "One...You have a motive. Aro didn't want you as his pet. He moved on, and you're jealous. Two…The potions. Guess who's name is going to be on those…yours. Three…You gave them the laced drinks…your scent is all over the cups and the tray."

Jane snarled and launched herself at me, just as Felix burst through the doors, blocking Jane's attack. Within seconds, Jane was destroyed. I sighed.

Finally I was free.

************

A couple hours later, I was packing up my stuff, when Felix came into my room.

"Hey Jasmine. Where are you going?" He questioned, his ruby eyes watching me as he leaned against the doorframe.

"I'm leaving, Felix." I explained, shoving another shirt in my bag before zipping it shut. I looked up to see Felix still in the doorway, a pained expression on his face.

"Why?"

"I don't belong here. I want to go home." I sighed, crossing the room to him, embracing him. "What's going to happen now that they are gone?"

He chuckled, wrapping his arms around me. "That's kind of why I'm here." I took a step back and gazed at him questioningly. "See now that they are gone, someone else has to step up to the plate and take over."

"You're taking over?" I scoffed.

"Yeah. But I don't want to do it alone. Rule with me?" He asked.

I sighed. "This isn't the life for me, Felix….I just want to go home to my family. Did I mension that they aren't dead? Aro lied to me."

"He did? They're alive?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry Felix, But I have to go. I can't stay here. I'll visit. I promise." I spoke crossing the room and grabbing my bag and my guitar. "Goodbye, Felix." I spoke and left the castle for the last time.

A/N: Isn't that awesome?! It was Jasmine all along! Surprise! Let me know what you think?! Thanks!
