Vampire Princess

Chapter 20: The necklace

I kept talking with Sapphire and she told me all about what happened with her after she ran away and I told her all about Springfield. Lilly came up behind me and we all started talking with Sapphire. Roxanne then came and then Ashley. I walked away for a bit and I met up with Jerome.

"Hey Jerome."

"Hey, what's up?"

"Just enjoying the party" I smiled. "How about you?"

"Same as you" he joked. "I have a random question to ask you." I nodded my head. "Do you think Lilly likes me at all?" He said a little embarrassed to ask me that.

"Are you kidding me! She is crazy about you. She had had a crush on you since a little before you and Ashley started dating."

"Really?"

"Yea. I'm serious." We both smiled. "Go get her" I tilted my head quickly towards Lilly.

Jerome went over and asked her. I looked over and saw Lilly so excited, she hugged Jerome.

"Good job getting them together" Nathan said from behind me.

"Thanks" I turned around and he kissed me.

"You look pretty tonight" He said looking at me. He noticed my necklace that Brandon gave me. "What's this?"

"Brandon gave it to me before we came here. He said he gave it to me so I would never forget who my family was. The letters stand for Justin, Natalie-"

"Brandon and Jasmine" He finished for me. I smiled at him. "It's nice"

My mom finally came to the party and saw me and Nathan.

"You finally made it" I joked.

"Yes it seems so" She said back, then she saw my hair which had the blue streak instead of black. "How come this isn't black anymore?" She wondered.

"The necklace you had Brandon give to me did it"

"Wait what necklace?"

Brandon came over. "Hey mom. Finally make it to the party."

"Brandon when did I give you a necklace to give to Jasmine?"

"Uh shortly after lunch"

"I was at the store until four."

"So someone else gave this necklace to Brandon to give to me and his themselves to become you mom?" I was a little confused.

"The princess is right. Someone did disguise as you Natalie" Alanna said coming over to us. Everyone saw her and the music stopped while everyone backed away. "And now you're mine again Jasmine" She snapped her fingers and the necklace released some sort of dust. My hair turned back to black and my eyes to navy blue. "And I will have someone else to turn with her" She looked over at Nathan and the shadow came out and turned him dark. "Now you can never break the curse"

"No! You can't do this! Please!" my mom begged.

"It's too late Natalie, I won."

We fled back to the tower where I first was when I was evil. My mom was on her knees bursting into tears that her daughter had been turned evil again and this time along with Nathan, the only one who could break the curse.

Before we entered the tower Alanna rose her hand half way and took my necklace off of my neck.

"What did you take that for?" I asked.

"What, this?" She held up the necklace. "You won't need it now that you're dark." We went inside and up the stairs to where the cell was, which kept Mathew hostage in it. "Now if you two don't mind, I need some rest so I have enough energy to raise and army of evil humans with this" She held up the blood amulet. "It will take five days maximum, so you need to keep guard."

She went upstairs and put my necklace on a table. Once Alanna went upstairs and closed the door Nathan came over to me and put his lips on mine.

"I'm going to bed baby. I'll see you in the morning" I said.

"Ok goodnight."

**********

"When will you wake up?" I said softy to Nathan who was sleeping.

"Nyah." he yawned. "Fine I'll wake up just for you"

"You're so sweet." I smiled. "Listen. I know Alanna said that necklace isn't anything, but I'm really curious of what it is. Don't you?"

"Maybe a little. How about when Alanna leaves the tower to do something we go take a look at it." Nathan said keeping is voice down.

"That works" I said quietly. "I'm hungry, want something to eat?"

We went downstairs to the kitchen and got some cereal. Alanna came down shortly after and told us she was going to be out for the day. I looked at Nathan and he looked back. Alanna went out the door and we scrambled to our feet to go see the necklace that was on the desk.

We looked around for the necklace and found it on a stack of blank paper. Nathan grabbed the necklace and held it up with the heart dangling. I looked at it and it had letters on it. I couldn't see them well enough, so I took the necklace and put the heart in my hand with the chain dangling. I looked at the letters and they were 'J', 'N', 'B' and 'J' in a square form. Suddenly my head was pounding and a memory came to me. It was when Brandon first gave me the necklace.

"What are the letters for?" I asked in the memory

"So you never forget who your family is." Brandon said in the memory. He went behind me and connected the link. "Justin, Natalie, Brandon and Jasmine"

My head kept pounding and suddenly I was on the ground blacked out. Nathan was down beside me and saw my hair turning back to blonde with the black streak. He carried me upstairs to a room and laid me on the bed. Even though I turned back to me, I was still his girlfriend and he still cared for me even though he was still dark.

Two hours later I woke up. I got up from the bed and looked in the mirror that was in the room. I saw my hair had turned back to blonde with the black streak still there.
