(December 31 )

Dimitri sitting in the back cafe with Vasilisa, Rose, Adrian, and Christian, said hello. He drinks his coffee and reads the newspaper. When the magic bond around his right wrist started getting tighter, it let him know Jasmine was nearby. Dimitri said, "Jazz is coming." Christian said, "Thank you!"

Dimitri looked over the newspaper when he heard the bell ring. The door was open and he watched Jasmine, Damon, and Captain Chase walk inside. Dimitri could see Jasmine was wearing black leggings, a long-sleeve crop-top workout athletic shirt, and black running shoes. Dimitri said, "I'm going to get more coffee." Christian turned his head to see Jasmine talking to Damon and Captain Chase talking to Jasmine.

Jasmine said, "Maybe next time, Damon." You will learn from your mistakes. So you don't make them again. If the Queen is going to send her best men to New York to search for and capture this Rogue Gaurdian, "Damon, you're going to get the whole fucking team killed." because you didn't think about your actions and didn't put your team first. "Every action has a reaction." Captain Chase said, "It is amazing that fighting skills are among the best that I have seen from a new guard." Jasmine said, "Thanks! I had the best mentor to teach me. As Damon said, "I taught her all her moves." Dimitri said, "Wrong!" "Jazz is a natural. Jasmine's mentor and the only person who could stand against her. Jasmine makes me so proud. " Jasmine turned her head and smiled at Dimitri.

Jasmine walked to the counter and ordered two banana nut muffins, two blueberry muffins, and two apple cinnamon muffins and asked, "If they could fill her cup with hot water." Damon asked, "A cup of hot water?" Jasmine said, "For my tea!" Captain Chase asked, "Is it a special blend of tea that you drink?" Dimitri said, "Yes!" Jasmine reached into her bag, pulled out her cup, and handed her cup to the woman, who watched her fill it with hot water. When Jasmine started feeling cramping and realized she was about to start her menstrual cycle, Jasmine said, "I will be right back." Dimitri said, "Your muffins and tea are on our table." Damon said, "time of the month."

(Ten Minutes later)

Jasmine walked out of the bathroom. Remember when Cowboy took her muffins and tea to the friend's table? Walking right by Captain Chase and Damon. I'm sitting down right across from Christian and next to Dimitri. Dimitri set her plate in front of her with her tea. Jasmine said, "Thank you!" Dimitri said, "You're welcome, baby girl." Eat your breakfast. " Dimitri could see Captain Chase and Damon watching Dimitri. Dimitri leans over and kisses his forehead in front of both of them. Dimitri knew that both Captain Chase and Damon were pissed off. Damon always wants Jasmine for himself, and Captain Chase wants Jasmine for the queen guards and his new girlfriend. But Dimitri was the one to get her.

Jasmine asked, "Pyro, have you already gone to the feeders?" Christian said, "Nope! Do you need to feed again? " Jasmine said, "Yes!" Dimitri said, "Roze! Have Vasilisa and Adrian already gone to the feeders? " Adrian said, "No!" Vasilisa said, "No!" Adrian asked."Why did you ask?" Because Christian and jazz need to be fed too, Dimitri said. Vasilisa said, "We go together." We get a room in the back with a door. Rose and Dimitri guard the door to keep people from entering the room while Jasmine feeds. Adrian still couldn't believe that Jasmine had started using a feeding tube on a feeder.

(The bell ring again)

Jasmine looked up, seeing her mother and papa in the cafe together, holding each other's hands. Jasmine smiled and looked down at the table. I picked up the newspaper and started reading the front page. Seeing Queen Tatiana, she decided to send guardians to Manhattan, New York to search for and catch the rogue guardian.

Jasmine said, "What the hell is Queen Tatiana considering sending Guardians into Manhattan, New York?" Adrian said, "My Great Aunt Tatiana believes that by searching and catching the Rogue Guardian, it will show how far the Royal Court has come." Jasmine said, "I feel your aunt is making a problem out of nothing. so that she can be the hero to save the day." When not realizing the bigger problem in front of her, " Adrian asked, "What would that be?" Jasmine said, "Strigoi numbers have been growing daily, while Dhampirs and Moroi numbers have fallen." It was about time that someone stood up and fought back against the strigoi. "

Christian kicked Jasmine in the knee, making her stop talking. Jasmine moans. Dimitri said, "Baby girl." Does your belly hurt? Jasmine thought, "Damn you, Christian, for kicking me and turning my head." She nodded her head "yes" to Dimitri. Dimitri started rubbing her belly to make her feel better.

Janine and Abe walked up to the table and said hello. Jasmine said hello! Papa and Mommy. Abe said, "little flower." Rose said, "Hello!" The old men and Janine. Abe said, "my butterfly." Everyone else said hello to Abe and Janine. Abe and Janine sit down next to Christian. Abe reached over and grabbed the newspaper from Jasmine.

Abe reached over, picked up one of Jasmine's muffins, and started eating it. Jasmine said, "Papa, that was my banana nut muffin." "You should have eaten sooner," Abe said. Jasmine looked shocked that Abe was eating her muffin. Jasmine reached out, picking up the tea and taking a drink. Dimitri was happy to have a woman, friends, and family together.


(Half hour later)

The message walked into the cafe. walked over to the table, and asked, "Guardian Jasmine Hathaway? Jasmine looked up and said, "I am Guardian Jasmine Hathaway." The message said, "I need you to sign for the package." Jasmine asked, "Where did it come from?" The message said, "Russia." Jasmine signed for the package. The message walked away.

Jasmine places the box on the table. Jasmine said, "I already got the package from Grandmother Yeva a few days ago." Jasmine checked the address again and could see who had sent it from Russia.

Vasilisa said, "Hurry and open it." We all know what is inside. Jasmine said, "I need my knife from my bag." Abe pulled the knife out of his coat. Jasmine reached over and took the knife from Abe. Jasmine cut the tape and handed the knife back to Abe. Abe took the knife back. It surprised Abe that his little flower was so good at using his knife.

Jasmine opens the box, finding the envelope on top. Reaching down inside, I picked it up, and found a high-quality paper box with a satin ribbon holding it together in the middle, with fake flowers around the box. Adrian said, "That is an odd thing to send through the mail."

Jasmine picked the red box. Dimitri moved the box out of the way. Putting the red box on the table and opening the envelope to find a greeting card with a picture of roses on the front.

Jasmine opens the greeting card to find a nice handwritten message. Dimitri moved to read the card too, to find out who sent this package.

Dearest Love!

I have watched you grow and turn into an amazing and beautiful woman. I have been waiting for the right time to make my move. I want to hold you in my arms to show how much I love you. Every night, I will prove to you that I am the only man you will ever need in your life. Make love to you in a way that no man can. I will drive you crazy with passion and love for only me. Our love will grow forever. Soon we will meet my love.

I love you forever.

Jasmine cocked her head at the greeting card. Dimitri took the greeting card and re-read the message. Dimitri thought to himself, Who the fuck is this man?

Vasilisa said, "Open the gift and see that this mystery man sent you."

Jasmine slowly opens the red gift box to find a necklace. Vasilisa said, "Jasmine! It's beautiful. Everyone could. It was gold angel wings, and hung from it was an ice skate and a heart. Jasmine sits frozen in her seat. Vasilisa said, "The mystery men must know that I used to be an ice skater." Abe thought he needed to have a long talk with Janine.

Jasmine reaches her right hand out and puts her fingers on the necklace. Jasmine's head snapped up and her eyes turned white. The door to her memories opens. Jasmine started reliving that horrible night that happened to her four years ago on the side of the road. When Braxton, Clayton, and Jeremy killed all the guardians and raped her on the side of the road, when she was ten miles from St. Vladimir's Academy.

Everyone was unaware that Jasmine's powers had been unleashed, causing the ground to shake and cause an earthquake. The pictures on the walls were falling off, hitting the ground and breaking. The wind outside the cafe started picking up and started howling. Dark storm clouds started building over the court for the second time and covered the sunny sky. The rain came down hard. It started with lightning dancing across the sky and the sound of thunder creaking off.

Abe looked down at his coffee. When he started feeling, his cup started warming and getting hot in his hand. Watching his coffee start boiling in the cup made Abe pull his hand away from his cup.

The front window of the cafe blows outside the cafe until the front of the cafe.

Rose said, "We are having an earthquake."

Meanwhile, Dimitri and Janine jumped up from the table. Both Janine and Dimitri ordered everyone to get under the table and cover their heads. The other people in the cafe go under the table. Vasilisa, Rose, and Adrian started getting under the table to cover their heads. A few women started crying. The lights started flickering on and off inside the cafe.

Abe and Christian looked up to find that Jasmine's eyes had turned white. All this chaos, Abe and Christian realized, was because of Jasmine and her powers, which had been unleashed. Abe could see how truly powerful Jasmine truly was. Christian remembers that Jasmine could see past events by touching things. Christian reached out and grabbed the box, pulling it away from Jasmine and closing it. breaking the link between Jasmine and the necklace.

"Everything just stops." Jasmine sits there with tears running down her face. She was deafeningly quiet, not saying anything, and lost in her memories. not moving or blinking.

Abe said, "I called for Guardian Pavel to pick up my little flower." Christian grabbed Jasmine's backpack and joined me. Abe's Guardian Pavel did what he was ordered by Abe. The Guardian Pavel, walked around the table, pushing chairs out of his way. He reached down, picked Jasmine up, and pulled her close to his chest. Christian got up from his seat, reached over and grabbed Jasmine's backpack, and followed Abe, Jasmine, and Guardian Pavel out of the cafe, heading to Jasmine's guest room.
