Last Shot (Jacob Black) [3] COMPLETE

35. Daminatio Memoriae

~Jazmine~

I sit up and look around. I get up and glance back at the bed. I'm trapped in my own head again. I shake my head and write a quick note before grabbing my bow and quiver and walking downstairs.

"Jazmine?" Lydia asks from behind me.

"You can see me?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"Why shouldn't I be able to? I'm not blind? Unless your on the otherside again." She realizes then shakes her head.

"I left a note, I'll be back soon." I state.

"Be careful Jazmine." She says.

"I will." I nod before turning and walking off. I pull my bow over my shoulder and secure my quiver on the other. I run through the woods and try to find what I need. I stop and close my eyes before falling back with my arms out. I open my eyes and I'm in the school. I slowly walk through the hallway and nock an arrow. I spin and fire, a familiar face falling dead. "Not even in my own personal hell will you be able to out wit me, Danielle." I turn back around and walk to the doors. I push them open and my bow disappears, a flashlight in my hand, my feet on carpet.

"So now, both my children are dead?" Matthew asks.

"I'm afraid so, but you might want to know that Danielle is the one who shot Jazmine with that arrow." Sean replies.

"She was her mother's daughter." Matthew half nods.

I shake my head and my body walks through, perfectly healed.

"Jazmine?" Sean raises an eyebrow.

"That's my name, don't wear it out." She smirks. Sean and Matthew share a look before Lydia walks in. She nods to them.

"No, you're Marie Jeanne." Lydia states. Marie Jeanne turns around and glares at Lydia. Lydia screams and Marie Jeanne turns green before shattering like glass. I turn and walk out again. I'm in the woods, inside a grove of trees.

"Jazmine!?!" I spin around and smile at the voice. I fling myself at him an his arms wrap around me tightly.

"Oh my god I've missed you so fucking much!" I breathe.

"You won't get to see me for long." He says. "I'm what you needed to find."

"What do you mean?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"In my bag, there's a bottle of liquefied mistletoe. Have Lydia get it, she can wake you up long enough to drink it. But only she can do it. After you drink it, it'll take about five minutes, but you'll heal. Then you're going to have to do Daminatio Memoriae and erase both Danielle and I from existence. There will be no record of us living other than your memory, but it's to protect you." He explains. "I love you Jazmine."

"I can't erase you." I say shaking my head. "I'll never see you again."

"As long as you remember me, you'll see me again. I promise, but you have to do it."

"I don't want to burn your memory from everyone else."

"You won't. Just shred and burn every document that has my name and completely destroy anything to do with Danielle. It's the only way."

"Not bound in blood, but in war."

"Not from the floods, but the earth's core."

"A warrior to stand by my side."

"A protector to watch over me."

"Not even death shall do us part."

"For a parabatai is linked at heart."

I sigh and lean back against the couch.

"Daminatio Memoriae? Why?" Avery asks.

"I'm not sure, but it's what he said." I reply. "Maybe erasing both of them will change something. Marie Jeanne and Marcelo did it with Sebastian after the beast was defeated." I shake my head. "He said it was to protect me."

"But he was the warrior, you're the protector." Fergus says with the heavy Netherland accent.

"You can't tell with them when they are that young, Fergus." Aniya states.

"Or they inhabited both." Jackson says. "It's rare, but not impossible."

I look through one of his notebooks. A page that's marked sparks my interest.

Not even death shall do us part. For a parabatai is linked at heart.

"We can bring him back." I state. "We can bring Devonté back."

So guys this chapter is a tad bit shorter than the past few ones but that's because of how I needed it to end. Within the next few chapters I'm going to try and wrap up a few things as well as leading into the big finale. Please bear with me here as I ruin all of your hopes and dreams.
