Jasper eyed Ezmerelda up and down not sure what to make of her being here apparently waiting for him. “Not exactually, you see she has sent me on a side quest to obtain something that was stolen from her. As long as I retrieve her lost item and give it back to her, she will help me in return. Sadly, you are the one who stole her possession and I doubt you will be willing to just hand it over to me.” Ezmerelda smiled wickedly and let out a sinister laugh.“Oh Jasper! Tell you what I will give you her trinket if you do something for me, besides I only took it because I thought the magic in it would work for me, but it will not. I do not know if it is because it will only work on fairy kind or if it is because I am technically undead whatever the reason it is useless to me.” Ezmerelda said in a sickly-sweet voice. Jasper had no idea what she could possibly want from him, but he knew he would not like it. Deep down he believed he was going to have to fight this woman and he would rather a
Jasper was suddenly mystified as to how this small vampire child knew of his deception. It made no logical sense that she not only knew of his lie but of what his actual plan was. He has seen and heard in stories, movies, and television shows that vampire have unique gifts. He knew however that every vampire he has met that he could recall held no such gift. So why was this vampire child different from all the rest. “Why would you accuse me of lying young child? What good would come of it?” Jasper asked curiously. He hoped that he sounded sincere, and she would second guess her accusation.Ezmerelda growled before saying, “You are a fool, Jasper Monroe! I am not one to take lightly to being lied to. This child is special in more ways than one. I am not sure how much you know about your heritage, from what I have seen it cannot be to much. Vampire children rarely live until adulthood. Something always happens and they wind up dying. This child however was blessed by the very oracle you
When Jasper made it back to the cabin, he found Alec already there sitting in the same recliner that he sat in previously. “Jasper I was getting worried you would not make it back before dawn. How are things going with the runestone?” Alec asked him curiously. Jasper sat down across from him and explained everything that has happened. “So now I must wait until dusk so I can go to the cave defeat the monster and take the artifact back to Ezmerelda. Only then will I be able to unlock the runestone I have in my possession.” Alec wore a concerned look on his face. He looked at Jasper and finally said, “Knowing you no matter what I tell you now you will still go after that artifact. But if I did not warn you of what it does, i would never be able to clear my conscious. You explained to me she originally wanted you to become one with her and spend all eternity with her. Since you declined, she gave you this task instead. Well, I hate to tell you this very artifact will grant her the ability
Jasper was amazed. Of all the things he expected to go through when entering this cave, he never imagined the beast he was going to encounter would be able to speak let alone ask him his intentions. Jasper hesitated before replying, “I am not sure how to answer that. I will explain to you why I am here and then I will let you determine what I am, sound good?” The creature nodded his big head in agreement. Jasper explained that he came for the artifact and why he needed. The creature gave him a pondering look full of understanding.“Vampire, I do not see you as a friend nor do I see you as a foe. For the time being I will simply see you as an acquaintance nothing more. If you happen to be able to take the artifact from the rock, I am slithered around than I shall call you friend. You see there is no need to fight me for it would do you no good win or lose. I may me the guardian of the artifact, but I cannot give it, nor can I prevent anyone from taking it. I know it all seems confusing
Jasper wasted no time heading back to Ezmerelda. He bid farewell to the drake and ran until he was almost back to the entrance of the enchanted forest. As promised Ezmerelda was there waiting for him however the vampire child was not in sight. Jasper wondered if she was still here possibly hiding in the shadows to watch what Jasper does so, she can report any false hoods to Ezmerelda. “Where is the child?” Jasper asked curiously. Ezmerelda smiled and said, “I sent her home. I saw no reason for her to stick around and wait with me I prefer to be alone sometimes. So, were you successful in retrieving what I asked you to acquire?”Jasper pulled the artifact out of his pocket and showed it to her. “An even trade? I will hand you this at the same time you hand me the sapphire agreed?” Ezmerelda nodded and than she too pulled the gem from her pocket. They approached each other than exchanged their items. Ezmerelda smiled triumphantly. “Go ahead and take the old lady her gem I will wait for
Ezmerelda, startled, turned around slowly and cautious to find out what made the horrendous noise. As she laid er eyes on the humongous drake every inch of her body was paralyzed with pure terror. It took her a minute before she forced out, “By the Gods! What type of demon is this?” She was terrified and she had no idea what would cause this monster to have a such a problem with her.“Quite your tongue you foul dead creature. Jasper Monroe is now and will always be under my protection. What tries to harm him is just as if they mean harm to me. You have broken a sacred law and messed with the will of a precious soul. For that your punishment is death!” Not giving Ezmerelda a second to respond the drake rose into the air and blew out a waterfall of flames from his mouth onto her incinerating her instantly wiping her existence from this world.Jasper stared in wonder. “I see you were not kidding when you said you would know when trouble found me. I am deeply thankful for your rescue. I a

Jasper’s smile spread with every new memory that flooded back in. He was pleased to find that most of these memories were of his father and Sylvia. He also found that Alec had not lied to him he was indeed a very close friend. He was getting flashes of caves and members of the order of the supernatural, but he couldn’t hold on to them. They were just quick flashes after memories of Alec ran their course.He was surprised by how many memories there were of Alec. He guessed that they had know each other for a very long time. he began to wonder what exactly Alec was because no normal human could live as long as him and from his memories, he knew him back when he was still with his pack. Jasper was ecstatic by having some of who he was back but there was not enough to give him a full story. He found himself more frustrated than satisfied.Jasper opened his eyes once he was sure that he was not going to get anymore memories. The Oracle smiled at him and said, “Well child how do you feel?”
