(February 25)
Jasmine gradually woke up, hoping everything had been a bad dream. She couldn't tell if it was day or night outside because the room didn't have any windows. Jasmine missed the feeling of sun rays that would warm her skin, and the stars looked like a million lights in the sky lighting the heavens. Jasmine didn't know how long she had been here and felt full isolated.
Jasmine slowly opened her eyes and slowly sat to find a silver tray on the end of the bed. Notice a dark figure sitting in shadow at the end of the bed watching her. Jasmine said, "Thank you for my breakfast or dinner. It's kind of hard to tell there no windows in my room." The man's voice calmed and said, "it day time in the human world."
The man's voice said, "Do you understand why you are here?" Jasmine said, "Because Strigoi attack while in the park at Kalispell Center Mall. Because I want Christmas shop for my family and time for myself." Then man's voice said, "I could understand that you need time for yourself without people around all them. But that isn't the reason why you're here." Jasmine asked, "where is here?" The man's voice said, "I hate to inform you that Christmas was two months ago. I saved you from Raul men. Jasmine cooked her head to the left and said, "Who?" The men's voice said, " History would call him Vlad the Impaler or King strigoi. Jasmine looked surprised to hear that Vlad the Impaler was the King of the Strigoi.
The man's voice said, "We are a secret group called Peacekeepers and your followers. You will stay here until we can capture Raul. Your safety is the most important thing in the world. Raul has gone in insane searching for you. It seems you keep slipping through his fingers. I would admit that is impressive. You should know their are strigoi that don't fellow Raul rules and they are fighting back against him." Jasmine thought odd that normal strigoi don't like each other. Jasmine said, "interesting. Are you going to hand over to Raul?" The man voice said, "No! You are to power for someone like to rule over world and because he crazy."
Jasmine said, "Thank you!" Jasmine reached over and picked up bacon from the plate. Jasmine said, "I going need blood along with food. But no tomatoes. I'm deadly alleged to them. I can't eat anything made from them or on my food. If I do, I have an EpiPen to save my life. The man's voice said, "I make sure that your food doesn't have any tomatoes made from them or on your food." Jasmine said, "Thank you!"
The man's voice said, "the vitamins that your mother has given to you for years were not vitamins. Janine got the pills from a spirit user while working in Nepal. The spirit user was working with watchers to control the element. So they could use you as they wish." Jasmine said, " Are you saying that my mother Janine Hathaway would give pills without unknowing what was inside of them?" The man's voice said, "Yes!" Jasmine said, "So the past few weeks of me being sick is because I was going through detox from the pills?" The man's voice said, "Yes!"
Jasmine's eyes started changing from little brown with a gold flick to bright gold. The man leans forward into the light unbelieving his eyes. Realizing that Jasmine was the Ultimate element. Jasmine could see the man in front of her was strigoi. The man's voice said, "You are the ultimate element. The most powerful of all the elements that came before." Jasmine said, "Yes, I am spirit Element, and you are a strigoi.
The man stood up in front of the bed, lowing his head, and said, "where are my manners." My name is "Ivan Zeklos." Jasmine said, "Dimitri Belikov was your school friend, your Guardian after leaving St. Basil's academy, and you have a little brother by the name of Mickleye Zeklos. Ivan said, "Yes! But how did you know all of that?"
Jasmine said, "Guardian Dimitri Belikov was my mentor while I was at St. Vladimir's Academy. I sent St. Basil's academy for the international program. Four days later after I arrived, I was paired up with Mickleye Zeklos for six weeks program like his shadow. At first, At first, Mickleye was so shy and didn't say anything to me. But after our first attack on us. The instructors were impressed with my fighting skill when I won my first battle and each one after that. Mickleye warmed up to me, and we started getting invited to parties. Mickleye, Viktoria, and I spend our free time in the library together. You can be happy that Mickleye started making real friends and not hippogriffs that would stab him in the back." Ivan said, "Thank you for watching over my little brother and bringing him out of his shell." Jasmine said, "Well your welcome. Now I know where he get his looks like." Ivan looked at Jasmine and thought to himself that Jasmine was sexy and walks her own path in life.
Jasmine asked, "Do you miss your old life, family, and friends?" Ivan seem to catch off my Jasmine question and soon said, "Yes! Why do you ask?" Jasmine said, "It's normal question that you can asked a strigoi. Beside I want to know. Micklye told me how much he missed big brother. While Dimitri believes that it wasn't was off duty that he could have saved you. Not realizing If was there could have died too. I believe things happen for a reason. We might not understand why things happen, just happen." Ivan said, "Sound like Dimitri. You are right things happen for a reason."
I have the feeling that we speak more while I am here." Ivan said, "I would like that. Now, you must eat your breakfast rest to build your strength and fully heal. Jasmine started to remember that day at the Mall. Jasmine enjoyed being by herself and shopping for the ones she loved for Christmas. The strigoi attacked her, and one of Raul's men stabbed her on the right side in the middle of the fight. Jasmine remembers that scream out from the pain and dropped to the ground. Raul man kicking silver stake away from before the passing out.
Ivan said, Guess that you remember what happened when come to save you from Raul man. Jasmine glanced at Ivan discovered standing next to the bed, looking down at her. Jasmine nods her head yes. Ivan looked down at Jasmine, tilted Jasmine face up, leaned down, and pressed his lips against mine. They were as cold as the rest of his skin, and yet there was something warm in there, too. Before Jasmine thought could single thought come to her mind. Ivan pulled away and left Jasmine alone in the room with her thoughts.
Jasmine turn back to the tray and thought to herself what the hell was that about. I need to speak with Adrian or Dimitri and found out what the hell going on.
(Jasmine Spirit Dream)
Jasmine started dreaming and found that she was wearing a white crop top and a long skirt that spit up each side without any shoes. Jasmine slowly walked out of the wood and saw Courtney road with a wood bridge. Jasmine called out a few times and said, "Hello!"
Adrian stood next to the end of the bridge and could see that Jasmine looked pleasant. Discovering Jasmine's aura could be confusion, uneasy, and a few other emotions. Adrian said, "Hello, Little Nova. It is about time that you came visit me." Jasmine turned her head, looked at Adrian, and said, "Uncle Adrian, where are we?" Adrian said, "we're in a spirit dream." Adrian could see that Jasmine was confused about what happened around here.
Adrian walked to Jasmine and said, "Everyone is so worried about you with you disappearing a week before Christmas." Jasmine said, "Raul men jumped me in the parking lot of the Kalispell Center Mall. I want to Christmas shop for my family and time for myself. Now, I think about it worst idea could have had." Adrian gives Jasmine one of his smiles and agrees with a small nod of his head.
Jasmine stumbled and about fell. Adrian reached out and caught Jasmine from felling. Jasmine started to stand up and Adrian removed his hand from Jasmine's right side near her waist to find his hand was covered with Jasmine blood.
Adrian said, "Where are you, and what happened?" Jasmine said, "you just said that we are in spirit dream." Adrian said, "Not here, in the real world." Jasmine said, "I don't know. My prison has no windows."
Adrian said, "tell me everything that you know." Jasmine said, "There is a fast way by showing my memories and you can only do it through spirit dreams." Adrian said, "Alright!" Jasmine reached overtook Adrian's hands up each side of temples and reached over with her hands, and placed them on his.
Jasmine said, "Close your eyes and keep your mind blank it will make it easier. Saying, What is your, will now become mind and what is mine will become yours. Let my memories, become your memories. To relive has come to past." Adrian started to feel Jasmine's energy start to fellow into him.
Jasmine took Adrian back to Kalispell Center Mall. Show that placing bags in the backseat with Sierra Dawn car seat. Jasmine heard the sound, making her head snap up, peering around to see anything out of place, and don't find anything. Before moving to the front sit putting her backpack in the driver seat and heard any small sound. Jasmine pulled her silver stake out hostler on her leg and spin around too fast to see about eight strigoi moving on Jasmine.
Adrian watched each punch, kick and kill that came Jasmine's side until one of the Raul men stabbed Jasmine's right side with a knife. Adrian could feel the knife going inside and found the pain. Jasmine screamed out from the pain and dropped to the ground. One of Raul's men kicked Jasmine's silver stake away. Jasmine started passing out from the pain.
Adrian saw the next memory. Discover that Jasmine prison had no windows, a steel door leaning outside the room. But the most room was as a bedroom and living room around together.
As Adrian kept watching for Jasmine's memories found out Ivan Zeklos had saved Jasmine from Raul's men and that he was one of the peacekeepers. With each detail and a lot of information that Adrian didn't know to bring so much close to finding Jasmine. Until Jasmine's memories came to end. Jasmine removed her hand from Adrian's head.
Adrian open his eyes and looked at Jasmine. "Little Nova, You need to teach me how to do that." Jasmine said, "it was only in spirit dream and not the real world. But first, I need to find Robert Doru." Adrian said, "Who is that?" Jasmine said, "Victor Dashkov, half brother on his father side. While I was in Russia at Oksana and Mark's place. Mark told me story about Robert Doru that he had calmed that he restored female strigoi to life. So I was think if I have to face Raul. What if I could Raul bring back to life and make him week."
Adrian asked who Oksana and Mark were? Jasmine said, "Oksana is a spirit user and Mark is shadow kiss guardian." Adrian said, "Did you know that your daughter Sierra Dawn is also a spirit user?" Jasmine said, "No! So what are her gifts? Adrian said, "Sierra Dawn can speak animals. Sierra talk to Mr. Bear and Princess." Jasmine said, "I didn't see that coming. So I take it that your still at the log cabin? Adrian said, "Yes!" Dimitri said, That he wasn't going leave until that he found you." Jasmine said, that sounds like cowboy.
Jasmine started to yawn. Adrian said, "Little Nova, Now I send you back to dream. So that you can rest. I will inform everyone. Please take care of yourself. Jasmine said, "Yes! Uncle." Adrian hugged Jasmine and dream started felling apart.
(Living Room)
Adrian sits up on the sofa to find everyone sitting around the living room watching some Disney movie. Sierra was the glue to TV. Adrian said, "I just got done speak with Jasmine and not going to believe what I found out." Everyone's head turn and peered at Adrian. It seems that Ivan Zeklos saved Jasmine from Raul's men at Kalispell Center Mall.
Ade said, We are waiting for more information, or do we need to study have the talk? Vasilissa said, "Little bumblebee could turn down Tv. Sierra said, "Yes! Auntie Liss." Vasilissa said, "that my good girl. Thank you!" Sierra moved close to Tv to turn it down so they talk. Adrian begins telling everything that he knew and saw while in the spirit dream."
Everyone was listen to what Adrian say. But Sierra Dawn was here Disney movie.
