Jasmine is traveling down the highway, when she turn right that lead them into the mountains. Along this rural road, Dimitri followed close behind Jasmine. The gravel road had trees on either side, which was obvious to everyone. Dimitri believed they had made good time when he looked at his watch and saw that it had been three hours since they had left Paris, Kentucky for the Tennessee Smoky Mountains.
Dimitri was looking at the peak when he noticed the dark storm clouds. They passed a threw little country town. Dimitri had found that town had few buildens with cafe, country store and gas station. About five miles down the road, Dimitri's SUV and Jasmine's Mustang both arrived. when a large lightning bolt knocks over a tree near to the road. The breaks were being applied by Dimitri. But before he could stop, Dimitri slammed head-on into the tree and punched a hole in the radiator.
While still seated, Dimitri turned around to see how Christian and Sonya were doing. What the hell just occurred, questioned Christian? Dimitri said it seemed like a big tree had fallen onto the road between us and blocked our path. I sense a magical connection that Jasmine is moving away from us.
Christian started texting Jasmine on his iPhone after he dug into his pocket. As he was writing the message, his mobile died. "Call Jazz, request that she immediately turn around and and come fetch us right away,"commands Christian. Dimitri took out his phone only to discover that he there was no service. "Sorry, Christian, it seems like I can't get a signal, Dimitri remarked. Thus, I am unable to call her." "Christian exclaimed, "Damn it!
Added Sonya: "We should probably take a five-mile trek back to the country store, cafe and gas station from where we came in the hopes of finding assistance. Both Christian and Dimitri turn to Sonya. "Before the sun sets and the strigoi emerge, Dimitri advised that we move quickly."
Dimitri got out of the driver's seat, and discovered that one of the branches had pierced the radiator. Christian and Sonya exited the SUV and waited for Dimitri to reenter from the front. Dimitri spoke in Russia saying, "(Дерьмо!) (It means: Shit)
(The Cafe)
To a cafe and country store close to a gas station, Sonya, Christian, and Dimitri traveled five miles back in the pouring rain for two hours. I was so exhausted from walking, said Christian, "We're pleased we're here." Dimitri was on the lookout for any potential trespassers in the woods. Although he could hear movement around them, he was never able to see anything. Dimitri, though, sensed that they were being watched.
The fact that the convenience shop and gas station had already closed for the day puzzled Dimitri. He could still see, though, that the cafe was open. Dimitri opened the cafe door setting off the bell. Hearing the bell ring makes Dimitri grin. Christian had a smirk on his face, and Dimitri saw it. He assumed that Christian was thinking about Jasmine bell believes.
Sonya and Christian were perusing the menu when Dimitri ordered a coffee for himself. "Christian Ozera!" was yelled as the cafe drew near. Christian glanced up to see a friend using her laptop while seated a few tables away. The young lady, who was dressed in a dark shirt and had blond hair that was untidy and nearly to her shoulders, saw Christian get up from the seat and approach her. Christian sat down in a chair in front of Sydney and said, "Good to see you, Sydney."
Dimitri turned to look over at a young woman seated next to Christian and noticed that she had a little lily tattoo on her cheek. They usually carried out modest tasks in groups of three, so Dimitri was surprised to find only the alchemist. Dimitri noticed that she was overly amused and wearing business attire.
Dimitri rises to feet telling Sonya come. Sonya still looking at the menu with regard it with a kind of wonder, and it hit Dimitri that eating food was still a new thing for Sonya. Sonya said, "I want fries with cheese!" Good decision, Dimitri said. Bring a large cheese fries to that table, Dimitri instructed the waitress. Woman wrote it down on her pad and turn around giving it cook.
To the alchemist and Christian's table, Sonya and Dimitri moved. Christian said, "I want you to meet Sydney Sage. This is Sonya Karp and Guardian Belikov." Sydney gave Sonya a lifeless and anxious look. Sydney said, "Although this person is Moroi, Sonya Karp turned strigoi. How did Sonya Karp get back to being herself?" Jasmine, said Christian. Sydney asked, "How?" as she turned to face Christian. Dimitri said, "You will have to asked Jasmine about that?" Sydney said, "I will!"
Dimitri and Sonya sat down at the table with Christian and Sydney won't believe what's going on at the alchemist; they've gone completely insane in their quest to identify the Element. Sydney was being carefully listened to by Christian and Dimitri. Alchemists claim that the most powerful creature ever to exist is about to manifest in order to combat immense evil. Although we don't have names for this evil, we know it as Strigoi. The Guardian Council, however, says nothing. Queen Tatiana is worried that she might lose the crown since the court has descended into madness. The next queen will be whoever is the element.
The fact that alchemists were unaware of the nature of the greatest evil and element astounded Dimitri. Dimitri declared: "What if we could inform you who this great evil is?" While she waits for a response, Sydeny shifts her focus to Dimitri. What are your knowledge of the first strigoi, Dimitri questioned? "Nothing, who is it?" questioned Sydeny. Christian declared, "The first strigoi, Rual, was also known in the past as Vlad the Impaler. Sydney mouth dropped in surprise.
Sydney said, Holy crap! Vlad The Impaler was a real live Dracula. Responsible for killing 80,000 people and impaling 20,000, Vlad committed some of history's grisliest acts as ruler of 15th-century Wallachia. Both Dimitri and Christian was surprise. But it only shown on Christian face while Dimitri had guardian mask up. Christian said, "Wallachia is present-day Romania." Sonya said, "Transylvania in Romania is where base is. But he gone crazy searching the world for the creature of light." Sonya turn back to cheese fries.
I don't know why you seem different from other alchemists, Dimitri said. Alchemists typically avoided forming close bonds with us since they believed that dhampirs and vampires were the offspring of hell." Said Sydney, "The majority of alchemists behave normally. Jasmine and I spent time together in New York, and she changed my perspective to reflect reality. that regardless of who we are, we are all equal. Did you know this, Dimitri asked Christian?" Yes, Christian replied with a smirk.
Christian said, "Sydney, What's your destination?" Sydney said, "I'm heading to Wolf Mountain to give the peacekeeper some medication." Why do you inquire?" Christian added, "A tree was struck by lightning and fell over the road, keeping us from following Jasmine as we traveled into the mountains. Dimitri said, A branch-pierced radiator and a five-mile hike back along Wolf Road. Christian said, "I was kind of hoping that you could give us a lift." Christian give Sydney a sad puppy face. Sydney said, "Alright! Stop that. Your not as cute as your daughter when she does that."Christian said, "Thank you!"
Well, go tomorrow, Sydney remarked. At the motel across the street, we have reserved a room. The sole route to Wolf Mountain is Wolf Road. I have to few calls to get Wolf Road clean then head in that destination. Dimitri said, "Thank you, Sydney"
(Jasmine spirit dream)
First, the spirit dream appeared. While Jasmine dozed off on a leather sofa, Adrian kicked back in an armchair with his feet idly resting on an expensive coffee table that some interior designer had chosen. Jasmine remarked, "Uncle Adrian," and Adrian, turning his head, said, "Little Nova." Jasmine enquired, "Where are we?" Adrian said in court Ivashkov townhouse. Jasmine looked around and thought it was absolutely lovely. I've never been here, is this your place, Jasmine said. "No!" cried Adrian. Is residence of my parents. They have a lovely home, Jasmine remarked. Thank you, Adrian exclaimed. I mention it to my mother.
What the hell is going on, Adrian exclaimed? Why do you say that? Jasmine asked. Added Adrian "My Great Aunt Tatiana and the Guardian Council are both concerned. There may be events at court that you are unaware of. But it has become insane. The Guardian Council is getting ready encase you show up at court. Tatiana, my great-aunt, worries about losing the crown.
Jasmine continued, "You aunt is right to be worried. You are unaware that one of two things will take place. Your aunt will need to step down as queen and advise me or she can be behead by me and I still take crown. I kind hoping that she will do the first one. I don't want to kill anyone. Adrian looked at Jasmine and said, Let's hope that Great Aunt does first one.
Does anyone know who the Element is, Jasmine enquired? No! No one know your name is kept secret, Adrian retorted. Jasmine said, "Good!" Jasmine said, "I have some great news for you. Are you prepared for the show and tell time? What do you mean? said Adrian Don't tell Rosie, Jasmine said as she got up from the couch and straddled him. Adriain said, "Are you going give lap dance?" Jasmine said, No! Something better.
Jasmine 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 took Adrian back Sonya Karp house right before staking.
As Adrian watched memory seeing Rose, Dimitri and Spiridon started restrained Sonya to the chair. Jasmine was heading toward them with hersilver stake in her hand. Adrian noticed that Jasmine eyes where golden. Sonya being hold still, and while her chest vulnerable, Jasmine had a clean shot to Sonya heart.
Too late before, any could do anything the stake plunged down with a force that astonished everyone. Jasmine had to use two hands, but the stake went firmly into Sonya's chest, piercing her heart. Sonya let out an intense scream. A brilliant, blinding white light suddenly filled the room, just as an unseen force blasted Rose, Dimitri and Spiridon away from Jasmine and Sonya. The small house shook, as time slowed. Then-it all stopped. Everything. The light. The tremors. Everyone breathed normally. All was quiet and still, as though I'd imagined what had just happened.
Hearing Christian, Robert, Dimitri, and Rose said quietly together Incredible! As Jasmine fall to her knees in front of Sonya and breathing hard and felt the magic inside of moving back. the sound of Jasmine heart beating fast. Adrian realized that Jasmine had bring Soyna Karp back to life.
Sonya remained in the armchair, and it was clear from the way she was sitting back that she'd been blasted by the same force that had struck the rest of us. She was still encircled by chains, but she was no longer struggling. The silver stake Jasmine had gripped only minutes before was on her lap. Sonya wiggled a hand free of the chain just long enough for her fingers to contact the stake's surface. Her eyes, which were a beautiful, azure blue, expanded in awe.
Upon opening his eyes, Adrian turned to face Jasmine. Small Nova! Sonya Karp was once more changed by you from strigoi to moroi. That is amazing. This implies that you can turn Rual back into his Moroi self once more. Guardians will then take up the remainder. The conflict will end. Yea! said Jasmine. Unless they flee, I suppose, we will hunt them down and murder them. But what about the one's that want change back to normal self. Adrian said, I guess the guardians make that chose.
Vasilissa will be shocked. when I tell her that it works, Adrian added. I guess I'll have to show her how to do it, Jasmine remarked. Jasmine started disappear from the dream and said, Talk to you later. I tell Rosie that you said Hi! Adrian laugh and spirit dream fall apart.
Adrian wake up to Vasilissa standing over him. Vasilissa said, "You fell to sleep again!" Adrain said, "Little Nova did it. She turn Sonya Karp back to a Moroi. She know longer a strigoi. Little Nova showed me the her memory." Vasilissa said, "that great news Adrian." Queen Tatiana would like to see us at court about something impotent.
