(December 25)
(Rose Bedroom)
When Guardian Hathaway marched up to Rose's bedroom door and knocked, she heard a few moaning sounds coming from inside. Janine knocked louder and harder on the door. Until Rose slowly opened the door and peeked out at her mother standing there looking back at her. Rose asked, "What do you want?" Janine pushed the door wide open, pushing Rose to the side, and flipped on the light. I found Vasilisa sleeping in Rose's bed. Slowly, Rose's pillow was over her hand to cover her head to hide from the lights.
Janine said aloud, knowing that Rose and Vasilisa both had a hangover. It's time for you both to get dressed and get ready to leave. Did you forget what we were going to do today? " Vasilisa said, "Sleep!" Janine said, "Wrong princess!" "Rosemarie Eve Hathaway and Vasilisa Sabina "Rhea Dragomir speaks in a higher tone than normal, making Rose and Vasilisa moan from the pain in their heads."
Vasilisa asked, "What is the reason for the early wake-up call?" Janine answered, "Did both of you forget?" Both of you did something yesterday that I never thought you would both do to Jasmine. After Jasmine's invitation, both of you to a surprise party that Jasmine had planned. Jasmine bought these lovely dresses and shoes for her surprise party. Jasmine was the one who ended up getting the big surprise. When none of you showed up at her party, because both of you got drunk at Queen Tatiana's dinner party, both Vasilisa and Rose sat on Rose's bed, looking at each other and back at Janine. Janine reached over, picked up the invitation off the nightstand, and opened it. Janine asked, "If they looked at the card?" Rose said, "We looked at the invitation and couldn't find a name on it." Janine flipped the invitation around and showed them J.H. in gold ivy at the top, with Jasmine's flowers as periods between the J.H.
Rose and Vasilisa looked at the invitation and realized that Jasmine was partying. Vasilisa asked, "Is Jazz upset?" Janine said, "You damn right she was." The storm last night showed us your sister has more power in her little finger than all the Moroi here at court. " Vasilisa said, "Jasmine, did you create a storm over court?" Janine said, "Yes!" Vasilisa said, "Jasmine's powers are growing." Janine said, "Tonight, both of you will make it right." Today we will go to the mall to get gifts for the surprise party. But you will buy gifts for everyone else and not for yourself. You are both going to wear the dresses and shoes that Jasmine bought for you. Both of you tell Jasmine the real reason why you didn't come to her party. Do you both understand me? " Rose and Vasilisa said, "Yes!" "Guardian Hathaway."
Janine said, "Now both of you get dressed." It is going to be a long day. Both of you will not eat anything or pay anything for yourself at all. Until later, is that understood? " Both Vasilisa and Rose got up off the bed and started getting dressed, wearing blue jeans and a white shirt. They knew they should have gone to Jasmine's party.
Rose asked, "What about Eddie and Adrian?" Janine said, "Guardian Stone picked up Eddie, Mia, and Adrian." They will meet us at the van in twenty minutes to leave to go to the mall. I called Daniella Ivashkov last night to inform her of what Adrian had done. Daniella Ivashkov said that Adrian would be awake and ready to leave Guardian Stone upon arriving this morning.
Dimitri awakened, holding Jasmine's pony in his powerful arm and snuggling up to it. He opened his eyes and discovered it was Jasmine's pony in his arms and not Jasmine herself. Dimitri said, "Not a word about this pony. "Baby girl will never forget this."
Dimitri sat up in bed and glanced around the room to find that Jasmine was missing with her backpack. But he could see her military tactical Duffy bag was still there on a chair near the bathroom. He was thinking to himself, "Now where did you run off to?" Looking at the clock on the wall, I found out it was around eleven o'clock in the morning. Thinking to himself, what was Jasmine doing all day earlier? In any case, remember that Christian and Jasmine go to college together in the daytime. This would be their regular time. They would be up.
He reached over and grabbed his cellphone, calling Jasmine's cellphone and hearing two ring when a Christian voice online. Dimitri said, "Jasmine, where are you?" Christian said, "Hello." Guardian Belikov. Jasmine is busy right now. Dimitri asked, "Where are both of you?" Christian said, "at the gym for Jasmine's morning workout." She is waiting to take her turn in the face-off with the queen guardians. The captain of the guards keeps calling Jasmine her sister's name and pissing Jasmine off. Jasmine is going to show him. She is not Rose. Dimitri asked, "How many guardians are there?" Christian said the six top guardians of Queen Tatiana agreed. Queen Tatiana is watching her guards take on the other new guardians. Keep Jasmine there if you can, "Dimitrisaid. Christian said, "Yeah!" I hugged up on Dimitri and started watching the fight going on before Jasmine's turn came.
Dimitri jumped up out of bed and started getting dressed to watch Jasmine take on the queen guardians in the gym. He was thinking to himself, if Queen Tatiana would only know how good Jasmine is. She might ask Jasmine to become one of her guardians and could go to college nearby. Putting on his duster and putting his cellphone in his pocket. Grabbing the silver stake, I headed out the door to head to the gym.
Ten minutes later,
Dimitri arrived at the gym to find the stands full of guardians and the queen cheering. Dimitri moved his eyes to the floor to find Jasmine to keep moving, to make the captain of the guard work harder just to land a punch on Jasmine at all. Jasmine kept dancing around, making him work for an opening. Jasmine was wearing him down. Dimitri saw Christian with an open seat next to him. Dimitri moved over and sat down next to Christian.
Dimitri sits down next to Christian. Christian said, "The captain of guardians has to work harder; just land a single blow on Jasmine." Jasmine took the other six top guardians down fast.
When the captain's guardian moved on, Jasmine threw the left punch at Jasmine. But Jasmine was faster at moving, and her upper body twisted to the right to make his arm go right by her. Jasmine punched the captain's guardian in his right kidney, making the captain scream out in pain. Jasmine kicked the captain of guardians' leg out from under him, making him hit the ground hard. Jasmine put her knee on his Adam's apple, making him feel the light in his head and pass out. It surprised all the other guardians and Moroi that this young guardian could take out the captain of guardians with ease.
Queen Tatiana rose to her feet and started clapping. Jasmine stood up and walked over in front of Queen Tatiana and bowed to show respect to her.
"Rise and congratulations!" "Guardian." Queen Tatiana said, "You are the first to take down the Captain Guardian Chase." Many have tried to take him down and have fallen. She asked, "What is your name, guardian?" Jasmine said, "Guardian." Jasmine Hathaway, your highness. Queen Tatiana said, "I remember that name before." You were a student from St. Vladimir's Academy to be put in the international program sent to St. Basil's Academy in Russia for higher learning. Jasmine said, "Yes! Your Majesty. " Queen Tatiana said, "I can see that it has not gone to waste." Did you have a mentor back at St. Vladimir's Academy? " Jasmine said, "Yes! Your Highness, Guardian Belikov, Your Highness. "
Queen Tatiana said, "Tomorrow night." "You will come and have dinner with me." Jasmine said, "Thank you, Royal Highness," Queen Tatiana said, "I will send the invitation by the end of the day." I have things to do now and see tomorrow. Jasmine said, "Yes! Your Highness. Jasmine and everyone bowed to the queen.
Dimitri couldn't believe that Jasmine took on the captain of the guard and kicked his ass. Then they get the invitation to have dinner with the Queen. making Dimitri so proud. Christian and Dimitri walked over to where Jasmine remained standing. Christian reached out and hugged Jasmine in front of Dimitri. Christian stated, "You made me proud of my guardian." "Show that you can handle yourself and take down someone that is two times your size." Jasmine said, "Thank you, Pyro." She looked at Dimitri and gave him a chance to make me smile. Dimitri thought later.
The captain of the queen's guards walked up to Jasmine, Christian, and Dimitri. Captian reached over and tapped Jasmine on the shoulder. Jasmine spun around and faced him. Jasmine gets to see his figure with blonde hair, about six feet tall, and blue eyes looking at her. Jasmine thought that was kind of cute.
"The Captain of the Queen's guards said, "Where are my manners?" My name is Guardian Rick Chase, and I am Captain of the Queen's Guard. Jasmine said, "Guardian Jasmine Hathaway." Guardian Chase said, "I'm sorry for keeping calling you Rose." I can see that you are not Rose. " Jasmine could see that Guardian Chase was looking down at her chest and looking back up into Jasmine's eyes. Guardian Chase said, "Now I can see you look like Rose." Jasmine said, "Rose and I are identical twins." Guardian Chase said, "Rose has darker brown eyes, and yours are lighter brown with gold flecks in them." I've never met anyone as quick, as skilled in combat, as adaptable, amazing, or as beautiful as gave a small smile and said, "Thank you."
Christian and Dimitri both realized Guardian Chase was hitting on Jasmine, and they heard him ask Jasmine out. Guardian Chase said, "How about dinner tonight, just the two of us?" Before Jasmine answered, when Dimitri moved forward and grabbed Jasmine, pulling her behind him, Guardian Chase and Guardian Belikov looked face to-face at each other. Christian pulled Jasmine away from the fight.
Christian and Jasmine turned around and walked out of the gym together, leaving Guardian Chase and Guardian Belikov to fight for her. Jasmine asked, "How about lunch and a nap?" Christian said, "Sounds like a good idea." Christian blushes as Jasmine leans over and kisses his cheek. Christian said, "You're my girl."
(Jasmine Bedroom)
Jasmine was in her guest quarters in the living room. There was a knock on the door. Jasmine walked over to the door and opened it to find Abe Mazur standing there wearing a lime green suit with a green scarf around his neck.
Jasmine said, "Mr. Mazur, this is a surprise." Please come in. " Abe said, "Call me, Abe." As Abe walked inside, he stated, "We need to talk." Jasmine said, "Alright! Do you want a drink? " Abe said, "Yes! Thank you! "
Jasmine walked to the counter and opened the bottle of Jack Daniels. Pouring into two glasses, he walked over to Abe, and he handed one glass to Abe. Abe smelled it and could tell that it was Jack Daniel's Old No.7 Tennessee Whiskey. He was thinking to himself, that is good whiskey.
Abe said, "I have a buyer for jewels and cellphones." Jasmine said, "alright. It would delight the rogue guardian to hear that. " Abe said, "I are still looking at Braxton and Galena." If the rogue guardian just gives me some more time to find him. Jasmine crossed her arms over her chest and said, "I will have faith that you will deliver the information on Braxton." If not, your guardian will pay the price. Don't play with me, Zmey! I can be your best friend or worst enemy. Abe was surprised to see Jasmine standing against him and that fire burning inside of her that reminded him of Janine.
There was a knock on Jasmine's living room door. Jasmine turns and opens the door to find her mother standing there. Jasmine said, "Mommy!" She moved to the side to let her mother walk into her living room and found Abe sitting on the couch.
Janine said, "Ibrahim." Jasmine's head snapped up and her eyes looked like Abe and Janine's looked at each other. Jasmine slammed the door, making both jump. when they realized someone else was in the room with them. Jasmine stopped thinking back at the cabin about the spirit dream that she had heard that the name of Ibrahim was one of the people on the plane and on the gravestone. She had the impression she was concealing something from looking at her mother with her light brown eyes.
Jasmine said, "How do you know Abe?" Janine said, "We are friends! But how do you know Abe? " Jasmine said, "back at the University of Southern California." Abe could see that Jasmine was lying to her own mother about where they met. He could remember Jasmine told him to keep quilting about her being in New York City. I thought that Jasmine could be the rogue guardian. Abe said, "Jasmine was saved from strigoi." Janine said, "That's my girl."
Janine said, "I came here to tell you that the reason I didn't come to your party yesterday was that Queen Tatiana was having a dinner party. " Jasmine cocked her head to the side. Janine could see Jasmine cocking her head to the right, just like her father does. Jasmine said, "You blow me off for the queen's dinner." You should call me and tell me. You couldn't come. The only person who was at my party was my charge, Christian Ozera. Everyone else didn't arrive at my party. "That was such a shady move, mommy."Janine said, "Watch your mouth. You are not your twin sister, Rosemarie. " Abe watched Jasmine's eyes start the change from light brown to golden. I then realized that Jasmine was different from other Dhampirs and Morois.
There was a knock on Jasmine's living room door for the third time in the last thirty minutes. Jasmine spun around and walked over to the door. Open the door to find Captain Chase holding an envelope.
Jasmine said, "Are you following me?" Captain Chase smiled at Jasmine.
Janine walked up behind Jasmine and Hello! Guardian. Jasmine said, "Mom, this is Captain Chase of the Queen Guards." Captain Chase said, "Nice to meet you, Guardian Hathaway." Janine said, "Jasmine seems like a nice boy." Jasmine blushed and said, "Mom." Captain Chase smiled and could understand that his mother felt the same way.
Captain Chase said, "I came here to deal with this." Jasmine said, "Thank you!" Would you like to come with me tonight to my Christmas party? Chase said, "I would love to." If Queen Tatiana isn't having any party nights, Janine said, "It is being held in an elegant parlor here in the guest quarters at eight o'clock."
Abe said, "Janine! Leave Jasmine alone.
Janine turned around and said, "Shut up! Abe. Janine turned around and walked back into the room.
Jasmine said, "Sorry about that." Captain Chase said, "My mother is the same way." Captain Chase said I would meet you that night at an elegant parlor at eight o'clock. Captain Chase took Jasmine's hand and kissed her before leaving her. Jasmine turned around and walked back inside.
Jasmine walks inside and closes the door. She opens the envelope and reads the invitation to the queen's dinner at her home at seven o'clock tomorrow night. Jasmine thought, I have got a nice dress to wear for dinner with the Queen. Janine asked, "What is that, Jasmine?" Jasmine said, "I have an invitation to Queen Tatiana's dinner at her home tomorrow night at seven o'clock."
Jasmine walks inside and closes the door behind her. Jasmine started opens the envelope and reads the invitation to the queen's dinner at her home at seven o'clock tomorrow night. Jasmine thought, I have got a nice dress to wear for dinner with the Queen.
Janine asked, "What is that, Jasmine?"
Jasmine said, "I have an invitation to Queen Tatiana's dinner at her home tomorrow night at seven o'clock."Abe and Janine looked surprised that Jasmine would get an invitation from Queen Tatiana to come to her house. Janine moved to Jasmine's side and, taking the invitation, read it for herself, finding Jasmine was a guest and not a guard.
Janine asked, "How did you get an invitation from the Queen?" Jasmine said, "You just have to wait to find the answer tonight at my party." Mr. Mazur, you are my invitation to my Christian party. Please bring a few gifts to be given away at the party. It will be held at an elegant parlor at eight o'clock. Don't be late!"
