8:00 A.M.

Jazmin's dreams were disturbing and restless. A light starts to bug her so she opens her eyes to find the source of the pest. She sits up and scans the room. The curtain was open slightly, and caused the awful light to seep through.

She looks away from it but something dark catches hee eye. She looks back and sees Emmet sitting in the chair. She notices thay he's asleep. She crawls over to the overl mature boy, and looks at him. He didn't look like the stern and mysterious boss, but just a normal boy.

His eyelashes flutter and his deep eyes look into Jazmin's as if sucking her soul right out of her. Jazmin's breath catches in her throat. "Good Morning, Ms. Love," he yawns and gets up to stretches.

"Hi... wait, did you just formalities with me? I said not to do that," Jazmin bursts. She immediately regrets it as her head starts to feel dizzy. Black spots dance in her vision.

"That doesn't matter right now," Emmet's stern voice says as he unwrinkles his clothes. "What is important is that you remember your experiences in the spirit realm." He starts to pace the floor like a tiger stuck in a confine place.

"Spirit realm?" Jazmin asks as she cradles her head between her soft, tiny hands.

"The place you were at with man named Lord Kory Love," Emmet explains. "I believe that he spirited you away from this plane, and into another. We all did some research and came up with an answer." Jazmin looms at h as the memory flood back to her. The paradise with Kory, the shadows with them, and the scene that played out before she was saved.

"Jazmin," Emmet says in a kinder voice than she thought he was capable of," you're in great danger. That spirit wants you because you look just like the woman he once loved. I think you might be relates to her in someway though." The boy has a concentrated look on the handsome face, making him even more like a model. Jazmin becomes nervous being in the same room as him.

"Where's my brother?" she asks. An instant sting that makes her feel guilty for not looking for her brother first.

"I made him get to bed finally at six in the morning. Maybe you should go to bed again or at least close your eyes," her boss says with an actual hint of concern I'm his tone.

"You're getting way too soft on me now," Jazmin smiles.

"Hardly, I just don't pay sick people and that's all. Then again, I could probably get more out of Trevor than..." he fades of. A mischievous smile is on his face. Jazmin grabs a pillow and hurls at him, but the stubborn male is able to catch it easily. A knock comes from her door.

A servant with kind, old features came in and bowed," Sir, you have a call from Dr. Blackforest."

"Male or female?" Emmet asks as he picks up a book he was probably reading while Jazmin slept.

"I believe female, sir," the man says uneasily.

"Please tell her to call me when it's important," Emmet says coldly.

"Y-yes, sir," the kind man bows and bolts out of the room.

"Damn, how hell did she know where I was," he growls. Jazmin starts to get a dark aura from him. Emmet turns, says goodbye and mumbles other things, and then leaves the room.

The room becomes alot colder than use to be, and it became a little hard to breathe. Jazmin gets up and moves away from the bed, but she still feels the cold follow her. She just goes to the bathroom and takes a shower, but the feeling was not leaving her. She gets out and quickly gets dress. When she comes out she is greeted with tired faces. Selena, Austin, Taylor, Oakley, and Trevor are all in her room.
