(Meeting hall)

Two guardians enter to hold the doors as they slowly open. The Morois and Dhampiers get up from their seats. In the front row are Christian, Alexander, Vasilissa, and Tasha. Tasha pondered, "What was going on?" "Even you have been kept in the dark," Vasilissa added. "What exactly do you mean?" Tasha inquired. "Like everyone else, you soon found out," Christian said.

When the Guardians, Lionel and Alberta, appeared through the door. The guardians and Moroi keep standing awaiting for Element. As Dimitri, Jasmine, and Rose approached the doors, Guardian Lionel and Alberta advanced. All of the dhampiers and Moroi began bowing to Element. Dimitri said, "Just stay calm." Jasmine took breath and let out. Rose took Jasmine hand and started walking aisle together while Guardian Pavel and Guardian Dakota followed behind them. The guardians and Moroi greeted Jasmine with bows.

Vasilssa and Christian said "Tasha, Bowed to show respect, "Why?" Tasha inquired. "Bowed!" Alexander exclaimed as he stared dead in her eyes and pushing his will on her. Tasha began bowing. Vasilissa and Christian couldn't believe Alexander was imposing his will on Tasha. Both Vasilissa and Christian realized that Alexander was using compulsion on Tasha.

Dimitri, Jasmine and Rose started walking down the walkway to stage where Emil, and Celeste already stood waiting. Lionel and Alberta took their place until Dimitri, Rosa and Jasmine arrive at the stage. While Guardian Pavel and Guardian Dakota walked behind Jasmine turn to face the crowd of guardian and Moroi's.

"Rise and please take a seat!" Jasmine exclaimed. The Guardians and the Moroi stood back up and sat down in their chairs.

Jasmine said, "I understand that some of you may be unaware of the situation. You witnessed something unbelievable on the yard. A dhampier holds powers of Moroi. Without me, the world would tumble into chaos. I am the most significant creature who, unbeknownst to all of you, keeps the universe in balance. Other wise the strigoi would take over and slaughter all Morois, dhampiers, and use human race as cattle to feed their hunger. As the planet's most powerful creature, I am referred to as an Element."

When Tasha realized Jasmine was more than she had expected, her jaw dropped open.

Jasmine said, "The war is coming! Raul has dispatched his army to attack us here at the academy. For those unfamiliar, Raul is the original Strigoi, also known as Vlad the Impaler from history. On the battlefield, you'll soon be fighting strigoi and Raul with the other guardians. I possess the only weapon capable of killing or restoring Raul to his original state. Everyone was surprised to learn the original strigoi was still alive and that Jasmine possess a weapon that could kill Raul.

Jasmine said, "I am extremely pleased in all of the guardians and every Moroi who assisted in the academy battle. In a few conflicts, Christian Ozera aided my sister Rose Hathaway. Demonstrating whether Moroi could be useful in battle. Each guardian and Christian will receive their Zvezda mark for the St. Vladimir's Academy battle tonight. If you have any questions please speak to Captain Alberta or Guardian Dimitri Belikov.

Tasha turn to look at Christian finding out that help to fight in the battle. Vasilissa lean kissed Christian on cheek for his brave. Christian watched Jasmine step back next to Dimitri. Dimitri said, "Once again short and and started to the point." Jasmine smiled at Dimitri.

Alberta step forward while holding a clipboard in her hand and said, "Soon I will call your name and you will receive your Zvezda mark," Guardian Jasmine Hathaway,Alberta remarked, Jasmine whirled around, walked over, sat down on the stool, and leaned forward to show Guardian Lionel the back of her neck.

Jasmine spun around, walked over to the stool sat down on the stool, and leaned forward with a long braid pulled over her head to show Guardian Lionel the back of her neck. Captain Alberta began using hair pens to remove Jasmine's tiny hairs to allow Guardian Lionel to placed a tattooist's needle and began a fresh Zvezda mark close to an existing Zvezda mark.

Considering the pain Jasmine regularly put herself through, Jasmine did expect the tattoos to hurt as much as they did. Jasmine bit her bottom lip and stayed silent as Lionel made the Zvezda mark. The process seemed to go on forever. When Lionel finished, Lionel produced a couple of mirrors, and with some maneuvering, Jasmine could see fresh Zvezda mark close to an existing Zvezda mark the back of my neck.

Lionel bandaged them up and gave Jasmine some instructions about caring for them while they healed. Jasmine said, "Thank you, Guardian Lionel," Jasmine remarked. "Later, I need to speak with you about something essential. Lionel explained, Jasmine said, "We meet in the church so we will not be bother."

"Christian Ozera" Alberta said.

Christian stood up and walked onto the stage. Jasmine explained, "Pryo! Come have seat on the stool to get your Zvezda mark." Christian took a seat on the stool. Jasmine leaned in close to say, "You need to sit motionless until Guardian Lionel finishes giving you your mark. Honey. This is going to be painful. But please don't move until Guardian Lionel has finished." "Will hold my hand," Christian remarked. Jasmine smiled as she reached down and took Christian's hand.


(The Church)

Father Andrew entered into the chapel, he observed a single person in the front row pew. On his right wrist, felt a mystical tingle and knew that the element was in his present. As Father Andrew approached her, I noticed that she seemed depressed. "Is everything alright?" Father Andrew inquired as he moved up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. Jasmine slowly raised her head, revealing her dazzling gold eyes to him.

"I came here in the hopes that God could point me in the right direction or answer my questions. But I have the impression that God has turned a blind eye to me." Jasmine explained. "Child, God is a lovely thing. He might not be able to respond to your queries straight away. However, it is possible that this is not what you want to hear. He will not deceive you. Jasmine, bewildered, cocked her head to the right and stared at Father Andrew. "I know you've been looking for an answers. Maybe your been looking in wrong spot. Outside of the walls of St. Vladimir Academy, Guardian Lionel and I know where you can discover the answers you're looking for. Guardian Lionel told me to give this to you. Father Andrew handed Jasmine an envelope from his coat pocket and said, "we believe you get the answers you're looking for." Father Andrew, "Thank you." Jasmine answered. To dwell on his words, Father Andrew got from his seat and walked away.

Alexander approached Jasmine and sat next to her. Jasmine leans in, her head resting on Alexander's shoulder. "I understand your concern," Alexander added. But keep in mind that we'll be here for you at all times. I heard the call, and it's almost time. In order to attain our goal, we must depart and travel a considerable distance. I'm on the verge of running out of time. Alexander remarked. Jasmine felt at peace as she glanced up into her brother's lovely brown eyes. Jasmine flashed her fangs while smiling. Alexander said, "Come, little sister." "The car has already been filled with our bags and box," Alexander stood with Jasmine hand in his hand. Jasmine stood up from her pew still holding Alexander hand in hers. Alexander and Jasmine walked to the doors of the chapel together.

(The Park-lot)

Alexander, and Jasmine noticed a few guardians roaming around the grounds. Rose is leaning against the wall. Rose was approached by Alexander and Jasmine. They could see that Rose was sucked inside Vasilissa's thoughts. Alexander reached over and slung Rose over his right shoulder, before heading to the park-lot with Jasmine beside him.

Captain Alberta stood next to Jasmine Mustang, arms crossed, glaring at Jasmine and Alexander, who was carrying Rose slug over his shoulder. Alexander and Jasmine could see Alberta standing with her arms cross across her chest. Alberta asked, "Where are you three going so quickly?" Alberta asked, "Where are you three going so quickly?" "Jasmine, Rosie, and I must travel a considerable distance to the Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains." Alexander explained.

Alberta is perplexed why they would be handing to the Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains!" Alberta said, "Are you aware how big the Great Smoky Mountains' are?" Jasmine said, "Great Smoky Mountains is 522,427 acres, divided almost evenly between the states of North Carolina and Tennessee." Alexander said, "Cherokee National Forest."

Alberta said, "Before I tell Guardian Belikov, Christian, and Vasilissa. I make sure they is unaware that you will be gone for the entire day. Have a safe travel. Alberta said. "Yes, Captain Alberta, and give her a hug. Alberta was taken aback when Jasmine hugged her. Alberta hugged Jasmine back. "We're now heading to out Alberta. Until we meet again, thank you for everything. As expressed by Jasmine.

As Jasmine opened the driver door, Alexander moved around the mustang to the passage door still with Rose on his shoulder. Jasmine gets into the car through the driver's door and sits in the driver's seat, while Alexander put Rose in the backseat and Alexander sits in the passenger seat. As the mustang began to come to life, it carefully backed out of the parking spot, heading towards the academy's gates, leaving everyone behind. To started journey. Alberta wave goodbye to them while thinking Rose, Jasmine and Alexander to started a new journey together.


(The Cafeteria)

When Vasilissa entered into the cafeteria, she observed Christian, Dimitri, Tasha, and Alberta having their dinner together at a table. Dimitri had a sense something was up with Vasilissa. "Has anyone seen Rose, Jazz, or Alex after the Meeting hall last night?" Vasilissa inquired as she approached the table.

"Last time I seen Rose, Jasmine and Alexander was at the Meeting hall yesterday." Tasha explained. "Jasmine went to church for some peaceful time," Christian explained. "That surprising?" Tasha asked Christian, looking over at him. "If you think about Jazz, there's one location where she isn't judged for being herself," Christian stated to Aunt Tasha. "Jasmine always adored going to church," Vasilissa recalled. On the other hand, Rose. She despised attending church.

Tasha inquired what had transpired yesterday before that had helped Rose Hathaway in the battle." "Yesterday, Rose and I were near the church when male and female strigoi attacked us," Christian explained. Rose was pounded against a tree by male strigoi, while female strigoi stated that they needed to find the right twin or Raul would be disappointed in them. Rose could feel Jasmine's rage and fury pouring through her veins, urging her to strike back. The strigoi were dispatched by Raul to find Jasmine. So I told Rose use it and she did." Vasilissa said, "

If you remember the spirit dream with Rezan, Vasilissa said. Rose would have to feel all of Jasmine's feelings, according to Rezan. For years, Rose had been blocked. I was concerned that Rose would have to simultaneously balance Jasmine's and my emotions. "Who is Rezan?" Tasha inquired. "Mother Nature," Dimitri said.

Alberta began to giggle as she realized that none of them had yet asked the most important question. Alberta's laughter draws everyone's attention. Christian said, "what is funny?" Alberta raised her sleeve to check her watch, which read "whole day." "I'm surprised it's been a full day and none of you have noticed that Alexander, Jasmine, and Rose are no longer at the academy," Alberta stated. "When did they leave?" Dimitri inquired. "It been a full day ago," Alberta added. "Do you know what they're heading?" Dimitri inquired. "Yes!" Alberta exclaimed. They're on their way to Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains.

Dimitri started to get up from the table. Alberta said, "Hold your horses Guardian Belikov." Alberta said, "Jasmine asked me to tell you that you will take care of watch over Christian, Sierra and Vasilissa and that all three of you are being sent back to court. Christian said, "What!" Vasilissa said, "Damage control. You know court might be finking out to discover and learn about the Element appeared. Queen Tatiana is going to be asking questions. Sierra is going to need her daddy. Christian said, "I surprise that Adrian is calling yet. When Christian cellphone ring.
