(February 26)

Tiffany entered the living room to find Sierra Dawn sitting on Dimitri's lap, and he was reading a story about Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Sierra Dawn asked, "Uncle Dimitri, what is porridge?" Dimitri said, "It's like your oatmeal in the morning." Sierra asked, "Do bears like porridge?" Dimitri said, "I don't know. Why don't you ask Mr. Bear, if he likes porridge?" Sierra said, "Mr. Bear, Does bears like porridge?" The bear raised his head to look at Sierra. The bear gave a small grunt and laid his head back on the floor. Sierra said, "Mr. Bear said, No!" Dimitri thought to himself, how Sierra Dawn reminded him of baby Jasmine at the age of two with all questions and same eye color with light brown.

Tiffany walked in front of Dimitri and said, "little bear, it's time for your lunch. "Sierra said, "Yeah!" Dimitri smiled to hear Sierra's voice reminding him of Jasmine, and Roza came to happy over their food. Tiffany said, "Thank you for watching Sierra, while I made little bear favorite lunch beef ravioli in cheese sauce." Dimitri said, "Normal, doesn't come beef ravioli in tomato sauce and not without cheese?" Tiffany said, "Yes normally, but Jasmine is allergic to tomatoes. I had figured out how to cook it without using tomatoes." Dimitri said, "I understand because Jasmine allergic to tomato that each of our dinner has been different than normal. Just encase something happens, that we are too far away from the hospital for treatment." Tiffany said, "Yes!"

Sierra and Tiffany walked into the dining room together. Dimitri stood up and walked over to the dining room to watch Sierra have lunch. Guardian Pavel walked up behind Dimitri reached tapped Dimitri's arm. Dimitri turns his head and said, "Yes! Guardian Pavel." Guardian Pavel said, "Abe would like to speak to all guardians in the study in five minutes." Dimitri said, "Yes!" Dimitri turns to head back to watch Sierra just eating her lunch and thought to himself, how his Jasmine is missing simple things with her daughter. Dimitri turn around and started walking to study to find out what Abe had to say.

Dimitri walked into the study to find guardians standing next to the map on the wall and were speaking, where they could search for Jasmine while Moroi talked about Adrian's spirit dream with Jasmine. Hoping any details would lead them to her location. Adrian retells what the spirit dream and Jasmine's memory send into his head. Vasilissa said, "So Jasmine isn't healing as fast as normal or hasn't drunk blood that she needs to heal. So that tells us that she is somewhere where blood isn't easy to come back by. Christian said, "that means they aren't in town or city. Maybe more like isolated are food is rare." Dimitri said, "I think you might be on to something."

Dimitri moved across the room over to Janine, Eddie, Abe, Rose, Pavel, and Dakota. Dimitri said, "Vasilissa and Christian came up with the idea that Jasmine got injured by getting stabbed by Raul's men that Jasmine isn't healing like normal because she hasn't drunk blood that she needs to heal. Maybe Jasmine isn't somewhere where blood isn't easy to get or could be isolated, and that blood is rare. Eddie said, "desert, mountains, forests, etc. So we need to stop looking at all cities and towns to find her and looking other places.


(Hour Later)

Everyone kept talking for an hour, speaking different ideas and plans they could do to search for Jasmine. Unknowing, Sierra Dawn awakes up from her nap, slowly moves down the stairs, and overhears everyone speaking about searching for her mother. Sierra Dawn thought she would going discover her mother's location. Sierra moved to the front door, putting on her snow boots, coat, gloves, and hat before unlocking the front door. Sierra opened the front door, walked out onto the porch, shut the door behind her, and headed into the storm.

(Hour later)

Tiffany entered the study, so worried about Sierra Dawn. She had searched the whole house, calling out her name, and had not gotten any answer. Tiffany said, "Sierra is missing. But no one was paying to attach to her. Tiffany yelled, "Shut up! Sierra Dawn is missing."

The guardians spun around, Moroi snapped their heads around to Tiffany. Make everyone stops speaking and face Tiffany. Christian said, "come again?" Tiffany said, "Sierra Dawn is missing. I have searched the whole house and can't find her anywhere." The guardians head the door of the study. Each guardian starts to search the whole house to locate Sierra Dawn.

Christian stood, pointed his finger in Tiffany's face, and said, "Tiffany, how could you let something like this happen?" Tiffany said, "Before you can blame me for a simple mistake. You better point your finger back at yourself and remember that you are her father. You need to step up and act as a father. For too long, you have sat on your lazy ass, watched both Jazz and I raise Sierra Dawn Hathway Ozera. Now that Sierra needs her father the more that her mother isn't around." Adrian said, "Damn!" Mia said, "I think Tiffany been around Jazz for to long." Vasilissa said, Nope, Tiffany normal way that she acts. Christian looked surprise Tiffany spoke to him like that.

Abe walked over to Tiffany and asked, "when was the last time you saw Sierra?" Tiffany said, "When to put her down for a nap about two hours ago. I lay down next to the little bear. I must have fall to sleep. When I woke up, I searched her bedroom and her playroom. Then I started searching the whole house and couldn't find her." Abe said, "You did the right thing coming to inform us happen. We will search and find her. There be no stones turn until found her."

Janine looked at the front door and found it unlocked. Start to consider Sierra unlocking and going out into the storm to search Jasmine. Janine turned to coats. Janine started searching to discover Sierra's overcoat. Founding that missing from the coat rake and looked down also founding that her snow boots were missing. Janine realized that she was right that Sierra had gone out into the storm to search for her mother. Spinning around walked back to study to inform Abe that Sierra had gone outside to search for Jasmine.

Janine walked into the room and said, "Sierra, has gone out into the storm to search for Jasmine. Her coat and snow boots are missing." Abe yelled for all the guardians to return to the study. All the guardians started heading back to study. Abe asked, "anyone for my granddaughter?" All the guardians said, "No!" Abe said, "It seems that Sierra Dawn has gone out into the storm to search for Jasmine. So I want the guardian to pair up and search for her. Please find my granddaughter and keep your eyes open if the strigoi might be hunting. The sun will soon be setting they will not hole back when comes to their food."

Mia said, "Mr. Mazur! Why don't you send the bear to help search for Sierra? He knows these mountains like the back of his paws." Abe said, "That is a great idea Mia, and second call me Abe." Mia said, "Sorry!" Abe said, "Tiffany, It's time to wake up Mr. Bear and have him help search for Sierra." Tiffany spun around walked into the living room and Dimitri followed behind her to watch Tiffany ask the bear to search for Sierra.

Tiffany walked over to the side of the sleeping bear and tapped him on the shoulder. The bear lifted his head and looked at Tiffany. Tiffany said, "Mr. Bear, sorry to wake you from your nap. But something has happened. Sierra Dawn has left the safety of the log cabin and gone into the storm to search for Jasmine." Mr. Bear raised to his feet and started to head to the front door. Dimitri moved to the front door and opened it to watch how fast Mr. Bear moved into the storm. Dimitri thought to himself that he saw that silly old bear never move so fast. Tiffany walked back into the study and said, Mr. Bear, has left the house to search for Sierra.


(Three hours later)

Jasmine was sitting on the sofa and removing the bandage from her right side. The bedroom door opened, Ivan stepped inside Jasmine's bedroom and held Sierra Dawn in his arm. Ivan couldn't believe that Jasmine was sitting on the sofa without her shirt on and getting to see how good-sized breast in white lace brace with a gold necklace with keys hanging from it.

Sierra said, "Mommy!" Jasmine's head snapped up to find her daughter in Ivan's arms. Ivan looked surprised that he discovered Jasmine's daughter while in wildness. Jasmine stood up from the couch, moved across the room, and took Sierra out of Ivan's arms. Jasmine hugged Sierra and asked, "little bear, Did you leave safe of the log cabin to find me?" Sierra said, "I missed you, and now we go home together. Mommy, you have a big boo-boo on the right side? Don't cry, Mommy." Jasmine started to tear up with happiness and said, "these are tears of happiness, and missed you some much to my little bear." Sierra said, "Mommy, your bleeding, and I make it stop." Jasmine said, Don't worry, baby girl. Jasmine put Sierra down on the floor, moved back over to the sofa, and sat back down. Sierra followed her mother over to the couch, reached her left hand over to Jasmine, and started to heal Jasmine.

Jasmine and Ivan could see a small bright light coming from Sierra's hand and started to heel her mother's right side from the stabbed mark from Raul's men. Jasmine realized that Sierra had healing powers like Vasilissa, with the power of speaking to started passing out, and Jasmine caught Sierra from hitting the ground. Ivan asked, "What the hell was that?" Jasmine said, "My daughter is a spirit user, and first-time baby ever used power and wear out. Jasmine picked up Sierra and carried over Jasmine's bed lay on the bed and over.

Ivan said, "I bring her here so that drink from her and now founding that she daughter." Jasmine said, "I will never do that to my daughter. You might have to go into town and find someone to feed on." Ivan grabbed Jasmine around the waist, pulled away from your daughter, and spun around to look into Jasmine's eyes. You know that daughter can't stay with us. Soon and old friend soon arrive. She will be handing it back to the family." Jasmine said, "I understand that I am here, and I have a feeling that has to do with seven quests." Ivan asked, "So how many keys do you have?" Jasmine said, "Five their are two more keys to unlock something." Ivan said, I will give sometime with your daughter and soon friend arrive she send back family. Ivan moved away to the door and left the room.

Jasmine crawled on the bed next to daughter, pulled into her arm and held her as long that Ivan would let her. Jasmine fells to sleep doesn't dream at all.

(After few hours later,)

Ivan standing next to her bed, reached and awakened Jasmine. Jasmine looked up to find Ivan and Kuma Auberon standing next to the bed. Jasmine said, "Mr. Bear. what in this world is going on?" Kuma said, "I am a part of the peacekeepers, and few other members are strigoi. Jasmine asked, why are you keeping me here against my will?" Kuma said,

"You must understand the real reason why you here. It's not self for you with Raul and men out there searching the world for now you need to it's time for the daughter to return home. But you need to take her memories away and place false ones in her mind. Jasmine had the feeling that she needed here for some reason. Jasmine lean down and awake Sierra up and looked into her eyes. Began removing her memories and placing false memory into her mind. Mr. Bear found her hanging from wolves. That Sierra needs to be brave, strong, and remember that her mother loved her with all of her heart. Soon we together again. Telling her when she wakes. You tell everyone that dream of mommy and you playing biggest playground and so happy. Jasmine said, Now you go sleep and sweet dreams.

Kuma turns back in the albino grizzly bear. Jasmine picked up Sierra laid on his back. Sierra grabbed his fur with both hands and slept away out the door. Ivan said, "You did the right thing." Jasmine said, "I hope that right because I feel like shit about it." Ivan said, "later, make how to milk bath and get a bottle of Jack Daniels number 7 whiskey." Jasmine thought that would be nice of Ivan.

(After few hours later,)

Rose heard a loud sound from the front door. Rose looked outside could see the bear with Sierra on his back. Rosa yelled out. Mr. Bear was back, and Sierra Dawn was with him. Everyone ran to the living room, and Rose opened the door. Mr. Bear moved slowly so that didn't wake Sierra Dawn. Mr. Bear nod at Rose and moved over to the fireplace. Laying down and slowly rolling over the side that Sierra rolls off his back into his bed.

Mr. Bear sit back up, walked over to the sofa getting the throw blank and drug it so that he could cover it. Everyone started moving close to Sierra when Mr. Bear's head snapped up and looked at everyone. Everyone froze in place until Mr. Bear started shape-shifting back into human and stood up above sleeping Sierra Dawn.

Kuma said, "There are too many chiefs in this house and not any Indians. Who in the hell do you people think you are? To come to Jasmine's house and order people around. It seems that everyone has forgotten their place. There is only one boss." Abe said, "Me!" Kuma said, "Wrong! I am the boss. I getting sick of all the bitching, yelling, screaming, and fighting. I understand all the worry about Jasmine. Anyone thought maybe she was right where she needed to be.

If you member the riddle, you might understand that Jasmine must walk behind the enemy lines to enter the depth of the earth, through time and space to find lost in its last resting place. They will lead you through your journal to seek what is new, old, and never used to bring back from darkness to light.

Kuma turns back into a bear and lays down next to Sierra to keep her warm. Princess walked and lay down next to Sierra and started purring. Sierra put arms around the princess and said, Kitty! I love you too. Everyone just looked at each other and realized forget their place in the house.
