(December 5)
Abe Mazur and his guardian, Pavel, walked out the back door of the Gentlemen's Club into the alley. After having a night of ladies' drinking, gambling, and entertainment, Abe said, "One of the best places in the world to come to visit." When you are in New York, Guardian Pavel said, "They have some delicate ladies working there." Abe agreed with that statement.
Both of them started heading to the vehicle, paying no attention to the area. Three strigoi step out of the shadows. The female strigoi said, "Look what we have tonight: a nice Moroi and his guardian for dinner." Male strigoi said, "They look so yummy."
Abe and Guardian Pavel realized they were in real trouble.
Abe and Guardian Pavel turn and run to the vehicle that had been waiting for them to return. Guardian Pavel looked over his shoulder at all three of them, then started running after them. Reaching the car, Abe started trying to get open the door, only to find it locked. Abe started yelling at the driver to open the door. But the driver never moved at all. Abe keeps trying the door. But the car door wouldn't open. At first, Guardian Pavel had to turn around and face the strigoi's trying to keep Abe Mazur safe by pulling out his silver stake and getting into attack mode.
When a dark figure leaned on the top roof of the vehicle, Abe realized it was the Rogue Guardian. Who came to save him. The Rogue Guardian moved fast and leaped off the roof like a cheetah in attack mode. The Rogue Guardian had a silver stake over her head with both hands around it. The biggest male strigoi shoved a silver stake into his heart and knocked him to the ground in the middle. As soon as they were on the ground, The figure rise, letting go of the silver stake and shooting two streams of fire at both strigois. Make both strigoi jump back from the rogue's guardian in surprise.
Abe was watching with surprise as this guardian could use magic like a Moroi could tell that Rogue's guardian was a Dhampier. I knew there was something so different about this guardian. But he couldn't put his finger on it.
The male and female strigoi at the same time said, "Rogue Guardian." The rogue reached down to yank the silver stake out of the dead male strigoi's chest and stood up. Guardian Pavel moved beside the rogue guardian to help shield Abe from the strigoi.
A female strigoi dashed at the Rogue Guardian. The Rogue Guardian dashed into the battle. As Guardian Pavel kept his gaze fixed on the male strigoi, Rogue began to move in response to his female strigoi's screams of agony from the silver, which felt like acid to her face. The Guardian noticed an opening in her heart and took the silver stake into her heart. Viewing life leaves the female body. When the strigoi eyes grew large and began to rage, the Rogue Guardian pulled out the silver stake, letting the body hit the ground.
Abe was surprised at how less in minutes, watching the fight between Rogue Guardian and female strigoi. Meanwhile, Pavel, who was battling with the male strigoi, and was having trouble. The Rogue Guardian revolves around, races back into the fight, jumps, kicks the male strigoi in the middle of the back, and knocks him to the ground. The male strigoi springs back up to their feet and spins around to fight. The Rogue Guardian used a silver stake and shoved it into his chest. Strigoi's eyes got big and started to close, pulling out the silver stake and letting the body hit the ground.
Abe could notice the Rogue Guardian wearing black skin-tight jeans, a leather jacket with a hood, leather boots, and a protective half-face mask in the color black and female. Abe said, "Thank you, Rogue Guardian." Rogue said, "Check your driver. I believe he might be dead. " Guardian Pavel walked around the vehicle. He found the driver's window smashed and looked inside to find the driver was dead. Guardian Pavel said, "Rogue Guardian is right, the driver is dead."
The Rogue Guardian reached down and started going through the pockets of the strigoi, taking money, jewels, and cellphones. Abe could understand why they were taking the dead strigoi stuff. "Abe said, Rogue!" The Rogue Guardian stood and looked at Abe. The rogue walked over, and stood in front of Abe.
Abe said, "I would like to thank you for saving our lives." I want you to know that I believe in the cause. " Rogue said, "What is your name?" Abe said, "Abe Mazur." Rogue said, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Mazur." Abe said, "Pleasure to meet you." I am a fan of your work. "
The Rogue Guardian reached inside the pocket, grabbed one cellphone, and dialed a number.
A young lady's voice came online and said, "Sydney here."
The figure said, "This is rogue."
Sydney said, "Go head, Rogue."
Rogue said, "Four dead, picked up in the alley behind the Gentlemen's Club." Three strigoi and a driver. "Full clean up."
She hung up the cellphone.
Rogue said, "We need to leave before the alchemists arrive, unless you would like to wait for them." Abe said, "No! I need to get home." I would like it if you would take me home. I will pay you. " The Rogue Guardian reached out with her hand and said, "It will not be cheap." "Pay upfront. " Abe reached into his coat and said, "Three hundred dollars." Rogue said, "Where do you live?" Abe said, "at Monarch Heights, 415 W 120th St, New York." Rogue thought it was strange that I lived in the same building as he said, "Come on." We need to leave and start walking down the streets.
Abe said, "I think you and I have a good relationship just the two of us." The Rogue Guardian just stopped, looking, and cocked his head at Abe. Abe said, "Not a sex relationship." I mean, business relations. I could help you get whatever you need. The Rogue said, "Alright, tomorrow I will send someone by, and there is a task you need to do." Abe said, "a task?" Rogue nodded her head and started walking again. Guardian Pavel watched the rogue guardian and thought she was bad-ass.
(December 6)
Jasmine was walking out of her bedroom in her grey leggings and white crop tank with white socks. Find Christian and his girlfriend, Tiffany, sitting on the couch, cuddling together.
Jasmine said, "Good morning!" "Pyro and Tiff. which makes Tiffany and Christian jump when they hear Jasmine's voice. Christian whipped his head around to find Jasmine heading to the kitchen next to the coffeepot to get her coffee. Christian and Tiffany said, "Good Morning! Jazz" Christian asked, "How did you sleep?" Jasmine said, "Nightmares again." Christian asked, "What did you dream about?" Jasmine said, "I dream that Victor Dashkov has broken out of prison."
Jasmine walked back into the living room and sat down on her recliner. She reached over, picking up the remote for the TV. Turn on the news about what is happening at the court. started drinking her coffee.
Christian said, "Jazz!" Jasmine turned her head and stared over at Christian. Christian said, "We are going to visit my Aunt Tasha for Christmas." Jasmine made a face that showed her displeasure with sharing Christmas with Tasha. Jasmine thought "It would nice to visit with cowboy. Tasha would freak out if she heard a scream of Dimitri's name in the middle of sex. She would really piss her off, knowing that Cowboy wants me and not her. Jasmine said, "Alright! Your Aunt better be nice to me. "Besides, I would nice to leave the city for a while. Christian asked, "Is something wrong?" Jasmine said, "It would be nice to see Cowboy again." Christian knew something was up and Jasmine wasn't saying anything in front of Tiffany.
Christian said, "Guardian Hathaway, called?" Jasmine said, "Sister or mother?" Christian said, "Your mother." Jasmine asked, "What does my mother want now?" Christian said, "You!" Jasmine said, "I called her today and found out what she wanted." Jasmine said, "In an hour." I need to leave. They're someone that I need to meet here in the building about something important. " Christian looked at Jasmine and said, "Is it business? Jasmine nodded yes. Christian knew what kind of business Jasmine was talking about.
Jasmine said, "Tiff. Do you think you could hang out with Pyro for a while? " Tiffany said, "Not a problem." Take good care of Christian for you. " Jasmine said, "I bet you will take great care of Pyro for me." Christian was looking at Tiffany with a dirty smile on his face. Jasmine said, "Pyro! Are you going to wait until I leave? Before you get your gift from Tiff, do not on my bed this time. Christian said, "One time. It happened one time. Jasmine said, "They say the same thing." When someone gets knocked up with the baby, Christian says, "I wear a cap." Jasmine said, "Good to know!" Tiffany said, "I am on birth control. Jasmine said, "Sometimes they fail and still end up with buns in the oven." Christian just looked at Jasmine and was surprised by his face. Jasmine turned back to the TV with a smile on her lips and started watching for a while.
(The Call)
Jasmine walked into the bedroom to get her cellphone. After discovering their three messages, Jasmine was raised by her mother, grandmother Yeva, and Dimitri.
Jasmine called her mother and waited for her cellphone to ring two times before her mother's voice said, "Guardian Hathaway." Jasmine said, "Hello! Mommy! " Janine said, "Jasmine Zoey Hathaway! Where are you? " Jasmine said, "Christian and I went to college." Janine said, "How did you get into college?" Jasmine said, "I got a full scholarship." When I won the World Olympics in ice skating in 2003, Janine said, "I am happy that you are using your full scholarship to go to college." What are you studying? " Jasmine said, "business, management, and education." Janine asked, "Are you doing it so that you can build your academy?" Jasmine said, "Yes." Janine said, "Jasmine pulls your head out of the clouds and wakes you up." You know, that idea of owning your academy will never work.
Jasmine said, "Shut up! All you seem to care about is your career and name. Never once have you stopped to consider what your daughters might want in their lives. You can be happy that Rose is Vasilisa's full guardian. As for me, as the only element in the entire damn world, I carry the entire fucking world on my shoulders. So stop telling me that my only dream is a fairy tale. You never stop to consider what this dream keeps you from giving up. When I might feel the world is going to crush me or fall into the darkness. You were never there. I am going to build my own academy. You could help or get the hell out of my way. It is your choice. "
It really surprised Janine that sweet daughter Jasmine felt that way. Janine's calming voice by said, "I understand that you have dreams." But you forget that Moroi comes first. " Jasmine said, "Wrong! The elements come first, not the Moroi. You forget that family comes first before anything or anyone. As a mother should know that. " Janine said, "Jasmine!" Jasmine said, "Sorry! One thing that I wish I had all? " Jasmine said, "What is that, my sweet Jasmine?" Jasmine said, "I would like to have the whole family in one place for Christmas." My mother, father, sisters, brothers, and uncle are in place to have the best Christmas.
Christian was listening to Jasmine on the telephone, talking to her mother. Jasmine wants a perfect Christmas with the whole family together. He thinks that he needs to call Rose and Vasilisa. Christian walked to his bedroom and started calling for Rose.
(Few hours later!)
Jasmine had changed her clothes into blue low-rise skinny fit jeans, long sleeve crop tops, and Skechers, and put her hair in a ponytail with a little make-up on. Holding a duffel bag, she walked out of her bedroom and found Tiff in the kitchen, making something to lunch.
Jasmine walked up to Tiff and tapped her shoulder. Tiff turns to see Jasmine standing there. Jasmine looked into Tiff's eyes and compelled her to make the decision to keep Christian at the apartment until she came back in a few hours. Tiff was so easy to compel to do as Jasmine told her to.
Jasmine left the apartment and took the lift to the top floor to Abe Mazur's apartment. Walking down the hall, I reached the door to Abe Mazur's apartment and knocked on the door.
Guardian Pavel opened the door and said, "Yes! Jasmine said, "The Rogue sent me to talk to Mr. Mazur." Guardian Pavel said, "We were waiting for your arrival." Please come in. " Jasmine stepped into the apartment and moved to the side away from the door. Jasmine stops to wait. Guardian Pavel closed the door and said, "This way."
Jasmine and Guardian Pavel walked into the dinner room to find Abe Mazur sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee and reading a newspaper.
Guardian Pavel said, "Mr. Mazur! Rogue sent this young lady here. " Abe looked over the newspaper to see Jasmine standing there holding a duffel bag. "Please come and have a seat," "Abe said. " Jasmine waited for Guardian Pavel to move away and stood behind Abe. Jasmine sits down across from Abe.
Abe said, "What is the task that the rogue has for me?" Jasmine said, first understand that the Rogue Guardian doesn't trust you. The first part of your task is simply putting the duffel bag on the table and pushing it across the table. Abe reached for the duffel bag and peered inside, finding jewels and a cellphones. "Abe closes the duffel bag." "Abe said to Rogue, "Looking for a buyer?" Jasmine said, "Yes!" Abe said, "Not a problem." I know a good jeweler that will help the Rogue out. As for cellphones, I have a buyer for them too. Guardian Pavel walked over to get a pen and paper. Abe wrote the name of the jeweler.
Jasmine said, "Your second task is to search for and identify strigoi by the name of Braxton, who works for Galena in Russia." Abe looked up and said, "That is a tall order." What do I get in return for finding this information? Jasmine said, "I have information that you might want." Who were the mobs that ran drugs and money laundering through St. Vladimir's Academy?
Abe knew that he needed that information. "Abe said, "deal." He pushed the paper across the table, he said, "I wrote my telephone number at the bottom of the paper." Have the rogue call me in a month and see if I have information about Braxton working for Galena. "
Jasmine stood up and closed the duffel bag. Abe asked, "What is your name?" Jasmine said, "Guardian Jasmine Hathaway." Abe looked surprised to hear Jasmine's last name was Hathaway. Abe asked, "Is your mother by the name of Janine Hathaway." Jasmine said, "Yes!" Abe said, "Janine is a good woman and a moral guardian. Does she know that you're in New York? " Jasmine said, "No! It would be best if you kept your mouth quiet about me in New York. "
Jasmine leaned across the table and looked into Abe's eyes. She started compiling him. Jasmine said, "You will forget ever meeting Jasmine Hathaway and that she was in New York." The Rogue Guardian wants the information in two weeks and no longer. If you don't have information, your guardian will pay the price for your mistake after two weeks. If you don't have information, The Rogue will call you and tell her. Do you understand my orders? " Abe said, "Yes!"
Guardian Pavel could see that Jasmine was compelled by Abe to keep his mouth shut. He realized that Jasmine was a rogue. Guardian Pavel moved on Jasmine and, grabbing her arm, made Jasmine look in Guardian Pavel's eyes and started making him forget everything he had just watched and had a wonderful time. Jasmine blinked, breaking the spell with Guardian Pavel. Jasmine picked up the duffel bag and left the apartment to leave Abe and Guardian Pavel dazed.
