(Sometime later,)
Everyone was sitting waiting room outside of the owner's office. While Abe and Janine finish their meeting with owner. Vasilisa and Rose were speaking about a story that they had discovered in one the beauty magazine. Dimitri was reading his Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures Novel and waiting for Abe and Janine to return from their meeting. Adrian had relaxed and slipped into Jasmine's nightmare.
Adrian appeared, 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, finding two heavy oak wood double doors on each end of the hallway. Adrian realized fast that he didn't have control and couldn't move from his spot. When one double doors open and Jasmine came running down the hallway. Adrian 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.
Adrian could hear a deep man's voice say, "You can run from me, but I will always track you, where ever you go and many lives that you might live. Soon you became my bride and our future queen. Your keeper can't stop me. I will kill your keeper and make you watch his life leave his body. I will turn him into one of us, and he will become one of our new children. He will guard you for as long as you might live."
Adrian turn head to where Jasmine just came from to find a tall shape of a man with burning red eyes. As Adrian turn his head, watch Jasmine run to the other end of the hallway, before she disappeared through the other double wood doors. Adrian hearing Jasmine started screaming, "Oh God, Please No!" Adrian could feel like heart being ripped out of his chest and making hard to breathe. Hearing the man started deep laughing.
Adrian disappeared from the hallway and appeared in a ballroom to discover Jasmine holding Rose's head in her lap, while Vasilissa, Janine, Abe, Eddie and other Moroi with their guardians laying dead covering the ballroom floor. Adrian discovers his dead body next to Rose's body with his tough ripped out. Adrian moved his eyes to Jasmine to see genuine pain on her face as tears fell from her eyes, as holding her sister's head in lap. Jasmine whispers, "I am so sorry, sissy. Please forgive me." Adrian pulled his eyes away from Jasmine to gaze at the dark figure, had his great aunt Tatiana drinking from her neck before dropping her on floor where she lay dead.
Adrian started feeling Jasmine's full emotions of pain and sorrow for everyone that just died because of her. Adrian soon realized the dark figure started taking form in a young man with black hair and red eyes looking down from great aunt Tatiana thrown. The man said, "They all dead. It's all you're felt for not becoming my bride, wife and new queen."
Adrian snapped back into his body and eyes snapped open. Still, Jasmine's full emotions fulling his body. As his tears started falling from his eyes and said, "Holy shit!" Rose said, "Honey, something wrong?" Adrian said, "I get pulled into Jasmine's nightmare and still feel Jasmine's full emotions. I saw first strigoi." Dimitri said, "dark shadow? Adrian said, Yes and No. First he appeared in dark shadow. He started taking form with black hair, a tall young man with red eyes. Now I understand Jasmine's great fear is watching her love one's die. Dimitri remembers that was Jasmine's biggest fear was her family and friends and losing them.
Janine and Abe walked out of the owner's office and asked, "everyone ready for dinner?" Dimitri said, "I want to go check on Jasmine?" Abe said, "After dinner, then will check on them." Adrian said, "Jasmine just had one of her nightmare and I saw first strigoi." Janine said, "Was spirit dream or nightmare that she was having?" Adrian said, "I believe it little nova might have one dream of fortune event. Like the dreams before Victor breaking out prison and he did." Abe just looked at Adrian and said, "Jasmine had dream of fortune event before it happen? Dream about Victor Dashkov breaking out prison before he broke out of prison?" Adrian said, Yes!" Abe said, interesting!
(Hour later)
Everyone arrived at the banquet hall to discover Christian, Tiffany, Baby Sierra and Jasmine sitting together looking at their menus trying to figure out what they want to eat. Vasilissa said, How did they to the banquet hall before us? Rose said, "Jasmine always discovered away to do the impossible things, and you still surprise you. Abe said, "Understatement of the year."
Dimitri said, "Baby girl, has always done impossible things in her life." Janine said, "like what?" Rose said, "taking four hell hounds by herself, fighting strigoi, her magic, and so much more." Janine said, "Jasmine fights hell hounds by herself?" Vasilissa said, "No!" Janine asked, "when this happens?" Rose said, "when Victor kidnapped Vasilissa. Jasmine, Christian and I had to save Vasilissa while guardians catching Victor." Janine looked surprise to find Jasmine had been brave to save a friend." Janine said, Vasilissa, you should be so grateful you have a friend like Jasmine and not take her for granted. One day will have to repay her for it.
Everyone walked over to the table to find Jasmine feeding Sierra a bottle and sing the lullaby Dimitri would sing to her to her daughter. Janine could Jasmine's face and view the true love that an only mother has for her baby. Janine soon realized why Jasmine couldn't give her daughter to family that she never meet. As mother to Rosemarie and Jasmine could understand true love of mother more powerful than any power in the world. Abe looked at Janine and asked, "Janine, something wrong?" Janine said, "No, I see Jasmine's true love for her baby. The same way I did when I held Rosemarie and Jasmine in my arms." Abe said, "Honey, are you thinking about having a new baby?" Janine said, Do you want to give me baby?" Abe give one of small smile and said, "Yes!"
Everyone started sitting down at the table. Adrian called server to bring few more menus to the table. Dimitri lean over, give Jasmine a kiss on the cheek and seen Jasmine smile. Tiffany reached over and taking Sierra Dawn from Jasmine to burp her.
Dimitri asked, "Jasmine, how are you doing?" Jasmine said, "The nightmare has me worried." Adrian said, "I watched your nightmare from side lines. I could feel your full emotions and felt your heartbreak in the ballroom." Jasmine peers up at Adrian and looked into his eyes. Adrian knew she understood his full meaning. Adrian reached across the table, taking Jasmine's hand and said, "you shouldn't have care this load by yourself. As your family and friends, you need let us help care for the weight on our shoulder. Because you have too much to worry about. Jasmine looking everyone's faces and could view that they were worried and said, "Thank you, Uncle." Adrian smiled back at Jasmine.
The servers walked back with Christian, Jasmine, Tiffany order. Dimitri looked over could see that Jasmine was having mid-rare steak, with curly fries with cheese and salad without tomatoes. Everyone started ordering their dinner. Everyone started talking and enjoying being together. Abe order the wine for the dinner to make sure that Adrian didn't fuck that up.
Before dessert, Jasmine started hearing a woman whispering her name. Jasmine froze and heard the woman whispering, calling out Jasmine. Jasmine started looking around to locate to where the voice was coming from? Christian asked, "Something wrong?" Jasmine said, "I hear a whisper like someone calling out to me." Christian realized that could portray calling for Jasmine. Christian said, "that wonderful news. Now we get the second key and the next clue to the third key location." Rose asked, "what is going on?" Christian said, Jazz hearing whisper from the portrait calling for her. Making everyone stop eating, drinking and turn glanced at Jasmine. Tiffany said, "it time to discover the next clue."
Abe said, "It about time. Jasmine's fellow the voice, Rose behind sister. We meet up soon." Jasmine stood up and started following the voice, leaving banquet hall. Rose and Christian moved behind Jasmine. Jasmine moved down the hall slow at first and started running until taking a right and head down that hall before they realized Jasmine had disappeared. Christian and Rose realized Jasmine had disappeared from their sight. Rose said, "Oops!" Christian said, "Not a problem." He reached in pocket and pulled cellphone, going to app that founding Jasmine signal. Rose said, "did low jack my sister?" Christian smiled and said, "Yeah, but alone only with five hundred yards." Christian took left down the hall and right to find Jasmine standing in front of painting.
Rose and Christian walked behind Jasmine to find her standing in front of a painting of a waterfall with the woman standing at base of the waterfall. Jasmine's eyes started clouding over, stepped forward and raise right hand until the hand was on the painting. Jasmine beginning started seen flashes from the past events.
