(July 8)
Christian and Jasmine were sleeping in bed together in a hotel room in Caesar's Palace in Los Vegas, Nevada. Unaware of the things that did while they were in Los Vegas for the past three days. Christian awake up with a massive hangover and headache to go with it. Christian slowly opened his eyes to review the room looked like hotel sweet, in color of red and black making look really nice. Could smell the scent of liquor hung in the air. Christian moved his head to the right to discover a woman sleeping next to him with her head on his chest with her arm around his waist and snuggled up to him. Christian realized wasn't Tiffany, soon noticing Jasmine was sleeping next to him wearing a black tank top. He slowly lifted the sheet up to discover them Jasmine wearing black underwear and he had his boxers on.
When the bedroom door open, Abe coming through to discover Christian and Jasmine sleeping in the same bed together. Abe just stared at Christian before moving his eyes over to his sleeping daughter with her head laying on his chest. Janine enters the room and said, "what is the holdup" and turn her head to find both Jasmine and Christian bed together. Janine said, "Jasmine Roza Hathaway and Christian Michael Ozera What in the hell are both think you are doing?" Jasmine said, "God, Mom could stop yelling at the top of your lungs. The people down the hallway are trying to sleep." Janine turn her head and said, "Guardian Belikov, come get your girlfriend, before something bad happens to her." Christian said, "Holy Shit" and pulling Jasmine tighter to him.
Dimitri enter the room to discover Christian holding Jasmine in his arms. When he had dreams holding Jasmine in arm for months? But seeing Christian hold Jasmine in Christian arms made pissed off at Christian. Dimitri's guardian mask slammed in place to hind this true feelings and giving Christian a cold dead look. He started moving across the bedroom and watched Christian started moved ass out of the bed, both shared like his ass was on fire to get away from Jasmine. Started grabbing his clothes and heading to the bathroom to get dress. Janine said, "Christian hurry, get dress and get your ass out of that bathroom. Don't make me have to come and get you. You have a lot of talking head of you." Christian yelled, "Yes Guardian Hathaway.
Dimitri reached Jasmine's side of the bed, could see Jasmine's head on the pillow, and started drifted back to sleep. As Dimitri reached touching Jasmine's arm and said, baby girl, it time to get up. Jasmine said, "I don't want to. Could snuggle with me for a while. Please!" Dimitri couldn't turn down Jasmine. Dimitri walked around the bed, sitting down on the bed, reaching down, taking his combat boots and lay down next to Jasmine. Jasmine put her head on Dimitri his chest, left arm around his waist. Dimitri pulled Jasmine close to him and could sweet scent again. Soon realizing that she hadn't mated with any other male. Knowing that she didn't sleep with Christian at all. He remembered before every slept together she and same scent. Jasmine started felling back to sleep. Meanwhile, Abe and Janine just peered at each other and turn around, walked out the bedroom closing the door. By that time, Christian walked by both of them. Abe pushed Christian into the living room.
(Jasmine Nightmare)
Jasmine dreamed and somehow pulled Dimitri into the dream with her. Dimitri was standing in the middle of the hallway. He turn, gazed out through a large glass window at the night sky as the moonlight come shining into through a large glass window lighting up the hallway. Discovering that was in a long hallway with wood double doors on each end of the hallway. When one double doors open and Jasmine came running down the hallway. Dimitri thought Jasmine looked beautiful in white Medieval Celtic Wedding Dress, with her long white hair flowing behind her. But look on Jasmine's face was genuine horror.
Dimitri could hear a deep man's voice say, "You can run from me, but I will always find you where ever go and many lives that you live. Soon you became my wife and our future queen. Your keeper can't stop me take what is truly mine. I will kill your keeper and make you watch his life is body. I will turn him one of us and he will own guardian you from Moroi in the castle."
Dimitri turn back where Jasmine just came from to find a tall shape of a man with burning red eyes. As he watch Jasmine run to the other end of the hallway, before she disappeared through the other double wood doors. Hearing Jasmine started screaming, "Oh God, Please No!" Dimitri could felt like heart being ripped out his chest. Hearing the man started deep laughing.
Dimitri disappeared from the hallway and appeared in a ballroom to find Jasmine holding Rose's head in her lap, while Vasilissa, Janine, Abe, Adrian, Eddie and other Moroi with guardians laying dead covering the ballroom floor. The dark figure had queen and drinking from her neck before dropping floor where lay dead. Dimitri started feeling Jasmine's full emotion and seeing Jasmine's tears down her face. Jasmine peered up at the dark shape sitting on thrown. The man said, "They all dead. It's all you're felt for not becoming my wife and new queen."
Jasmine sit up, started heavy crying and body shaking all over. Dimitri snapped awake and sit up, reaching over and grabbing Jasmine to his chest. Dimitri said, "Baby girl, it all right. I'm right here. Nothing bad can hurt you." Jasmine said, "They all dead. It my felt and strong to fight him." Dimitri said, "No! You just had a nightmare, and nothing more, just a bad dream." Jasmine said, "It felt so real."
Dimitri remembers not see his body anywhere in the ballroom. Recalling the figure had red eyes. Which made Dimitri think the man from the dream was Strigoi. But Strigoi don't dream unless Jasmine dreaming fortune event or warning that could happen. Thought to himself soon as Jasmine fell back to sleep, he would call his grandmother and asked about the man from Jasmine's nightmare. Could Jasmine pull him into her nightmare? Thought to himself, could this be a new power that Jasmine can do while she is sleeping? Dimitri said, "Baby girl! Let lay back down and I will hold your arms until feel safe again."
(Thirty minutes later)
Jasmine had fallen back into a peaceful sleep. Dimitri knew good time called his grandmother to ask her about the man from Jasmine's nightmare and help understand about the journey that she was on. Dimitri moved Jasmine and putting her head on the pillow, and getting up from the bed without awake Jasmine up. Reaching into his pocket, and started calling his grandmother.
The cellphone ring three times with his mother Olena's voice came on line and speaking in Russian. Hello, This is the Belikov residents. May I ask who called? Dimitri said, "Dinka" Olena said, Dinka, it is good to hear your voice. I miss my son. You need to call more. How are you doing? Dimitri said, Good Mommy! I miss you too and family. But right now, I need to speak to grandmother about Jasmine. Dimitri could hear Olena's voice called out to her mother and say, Dinka! Calling about something might be wrong with Night flower!
Grandmother's voice came on line asked, "what is wrong with my night flower?" Dimitri said, "Three days ago, Jasmine touch a stone figure of women and seven children around her. Soon, a magic key appeared around Jasmine's neck on a gold chain. Grandmother said, "just a minute." Dimitri could hear things moving around in the background and Grandmother said, "where did I put it. That right, I put in a winter chest to save keeping."
Grandmother's voice came in line and said, "My night flower has started the journey of the seven keys to unlock full powers and became the ultimate element. Dimitri could hear papers flipping and Grandmother asked, what is the metal of the key that appeared round golden chain? Dimitri said, Golden key! Grandmother said, Gold Key is Fire symbol. Dimitri said Jasmine came to Los Vegas to find the second key. She left clues behind in riddle, but we don't solve second clues. Grandmother said, Tell me the riddle.
Dimitri pulled paper out of his pocket and started read the riddle. Saying, Where old and new come to meet. Columns made of marble that stand tall, strong and all to see. Where kings and empire come to play. People come to win their fortune. They lose more than they take. Girls go to play and boys have to pay any day. Place where I can be shallow and deep for all to see. Someone that watch you come and go as you please and never leave. But we never meet. Place where I hang around for all to see. But we never speak. In a land with many colors, to search for something that is lost and secret that I keep. Many come to play. But there is alone one winner in the end.
Grandmother said, "That is easy. The answer is painting near the waterfall." Dimitri couldn't believe that his grandmother figure out the riddle in seconds. He had been working for three days and coming up with any answers. Knowing that Janine and Abe would happy to be discovered, that answer to the riddle is painting near a waterfall.
Dimitri said, "the second thing is Jasmine had a nightmare and pulled into a dream with her." Grandmother said, "go on!" Dimitri said, 'There was a tall, dark figure that chasing Jasmine through the dream and believe it strigoi with bright glowing red eyes and deep voice. He stood in the shadow, making hard to see him." Grandmother said, "Oh god, no! If it is what I think it is. Jasmine is a lot more trouble. Until she finds all seven keys to unlock her true powers. We must keep her hid in shadow from the abomination which we called first vampire king or first strigoi."
Grandmother said, "Does Jasmine have a sweet smell to her?" Dimitri said, "Yes!" Grandmother said, "When was a last time that you made love to her?" Dimitri said, Four months and six days." He couldn't believe that he was talking with his grandmother about his sex life. But the bond between Jasmine and broken. Because slept with Vasilissa and Natasha. Jasmine's sweet scent has returned and still driving wild." Grandmother said, "Listen to me. You must reclaim Jasmine as your own or Christian will take for his own. Night flower scent must cover until I arrive in New York. Soon, I call you to inform you with more information. But all of you need to help her locate these keys as fast as you can." Dimitri said, "Yes!" Dimitri didn't like knowing Christian would go after Jasmine soon. Thinking this means I have to stay with Jasmine until my scent over from top to bottom and takes all night. Christian will not have to himself. I have run off like others and don't just that she guardian that you have with her. Grandmother said, "her goodbyes and hung up on Dimitri."
(Living area)
Dimitri opens the bedroom door quietly to make sure that Jasmine didn't wake and enters the living area to find Abe and Janine sitting at breakfast nook and talking to each other. While Adrian snuggle with Rose, Vasilisa end of the sofa alone and while Christian was sitting on the armchair watching TV. Tiffany was taking care of Sierra.
Abe said, "Guardian Belikov, it is good to see you. What is going on with my little flower?" Dimitri said, "I have good news and bad news. The good news is I just called my grandmother. Grandmother informed me that Jasmine has started her journey of the seven keys. Janine asked, "what does that mean, a journey of the seven keys?" Dimitri said, The journey of the seven keys is that Jasmine unlocks full powers and became the ultimate element. Also found out the key on the chain that is around her neck is one of the seven elements and its symbol of fire. Christian and baby girl came to this hotel to find the second key. I told grandmother the riddle and found second part of the riddle is a painting and near waterfall.
Adrian said, "Hold up minute, that second key from painting." Rose said, "Adrian stop minute and think about words of the riddle. A painting is the perfect place to hide a magic key. Someone that watch you come and go as you please and never leave. But we never meet. Place where I hang around for all to see. But we never speak. In a land with many colors, to search for something that is lost and secret that I keep. There is a woman in painting may stand near waterfall in the painting. Sissy needs to find that painting to get a second key." Everyone stopped, looked at Rose, found surprise Rose could figure that out. Christian said, "Damn! Rose, It about time do something smart. Rose just looked at Christian.
Dimitri said, "Jasmine did something unbelievable. Jasmine pulled into her nightmare with her where I didn't have any control dream, couldn't move and all I could do was watch what happen in the dream. She dreamed there was a tall, dark figure that chasing Jasmine down a long hallway in a dream. This dark figure had bright glowing red eyes and deep voice. He stood in the shadow, making it hard to see him. Grandmother said, Jasmine is a lot more trouble until she location all seven keys. Grandmother informed me that need cover baby girl's sweet scent." Janine said, "What do you mean, cover over Jasmine's sweet scent?" Adrian said, "Sex!"
Abe stood up from his chair, move silent across the room to behind Adrian and slapped him in back of head making head go forward. Adrian said, "What did I do now?" Everyone started laughing at Adrian getting smack again by Abe.
Dimitri said, "Jasmine did something unbelievable. Jasmine pulled me into her nightmare with her where I don't control the dream, couldn't move and all I could do was watch what happen in the dream. Adrian said, "little nova, pulled you into a spirit dream while she was sleeping and turn into a nightmare?" Dimitri and Christian said, Yes, together! Christian said, Jasmine having this same nightmare for past two nights. She having pulled in the same nightmare repeatedly. I believe her dream is a future event or warning. Vasilissa said, "Damn! I didn't know that spirit users could do that. Adrian looked surprise and said, there is a lot about spirit users still don't know about. I guess one power doesn't know about. Tiffany said, "last time dream of future event when Victor Dashkov break out of prison had that dream for about a six months before happen. I would say we need to listen to the warning. Christian said, I would agree.
Rose said, what is bad news? Dimitri said, "grandmother had stated need locate second key as soon we can and that she will arrive in New York soon. We must keep Jasmine hid in shadow from the abomination. When the bedroom doors open and Jasmine step through, a voice cut through the air and said, "Vampire king or first strigoi. He sent to spy out to find me, and to claim me as his." Dimitri moved to Jasmine's side and said, "You need to rest." Jasmine said, "No! I need to identify a second key and resting all the time will not help me right now." Dimitri said, "Baby girl please." Jasmine snapped head around, looked at Dimitri and said No! Dimitri could see that Jasmine had change to golden and fangs come down.
Christian get from his chair, moved across the living room to Jasmine's other side and said, Jazz! Jasmine snapped her head looked Christian. Christian said, "Calm down! Everyone is worried about you?" Jasmine just looked at Christian said, the only thing I need to have worried about is feeding me and Rosie. I tired sleep. Beside I need to feed on blood before dinner. So can we go to dinner now?" Christian said, "Alright! But first you might paint on." Jasmine looked down and said, "oops!" She discover she wearing her sleep wear. Dimitri and everyone surprise how fast Christian calmed Jasmine down. Jasmine turns around, walking back into the bedroom to get her jean and shoes. Christian just smiled at Dimitri.
