A teacher showed him (King Alpha) to Jasmine's dorm room. He flung the door and walked in angrily, "where is that disgrace of a daughter ?"
Jasmine looked down in embarrassment and began apologizing for her recklessness.
"You could bring the Zyren's name down any time soon!" The King shouted ,Jasmine smiled nervously and replied to her father ,
"It's Zayren,not Zyren."
The King's anger reached level one hundred. He walked towards Jasmine and pulled her hair to make her look at him. "You little ,you idiot! You've brought us shame. You've only been here 2 days and you've caused so much trouble."
Jasmine looked at him,all tears of pain turning into tears of anger and all that she had been keeping in erupted "SERIOUSLY? THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY? I KNOW!OK I KNOW. I'M NOT AS GOOD AS ABBY,OR JUDE,OR JESSICA. I KNOW. YOU COULD AT LEAST ASK HOW I AM. DO YOU KNOW I ALMOST GOT KILLED! DAD WHY ARE YOU SO AGAINST ME?"
Everyone turned to her in shock at her sudden outburst.
This only fueled the King's anger. "How dare you talk back at me? Do you know how much pain you've caused us? Your mother almost died giving birth to you!" After he said those words he gave Jasmine a slap across the face.
"ALPHA! You didn't just lay your hands on my daughter!" Queen Avereen shouted.
The room was silent. Jasmine touched her cheek which was now red. She winced in pain and turned to the door then ran out. Jessica ran after her but lost her.
What a chaos!

When running, Jasmine bumbed into Shawn who gave her a glare. She looked up at him,her eyes teary . He noticed the redness of her cheek amd before he asked she ran off again.
Shawn shrugged his shoulders and said to himself "Not my problem, but hope she's okay. She's too delicate for this school."
Jasmine ran into the forest near the school and spotted the shortest tree to climb. She sat on a branch and began sobbing.
She cried for a very long time. Once her eyes began to hurt,she stopped crying and sat there. She contemplated on her life. Jasmine felt so useless.
Everyone in her family had a great achievement. Her mother was extraordinary smart and was eloquent. Her eldest sister was a principal. Her father was the King. Her elder sister, was a Commander, under the general. Her brother was third in charge of the army after their father and the army's general. But she....notorious, impolite, and as her father said "useless"
"Why....why is it me?It'smy fault...I was only 7...she was 5....She was more courageous...that's why father loved he the most..I was could have saved her but I was scared...I was selfish..." She said before her tears welled up again and they began flowing down her cheeks.

Back at the school Shawn headed to Dane's study, where Rooney was also preparing for the lessons and errands he had to run tomorrow.. Dane was the top student at the Elite War College ,so as a prize he got his own personal study.
"Miss princess got in trouble Dane,she looked like she was gonna burst out crying any second." Shawn said looking at Dane to see his reaction.
Dane nodded indifferently and continued reading his book. A fire was lit and was seen from a distance. It indicated that everyone should be in the school or in their dorms. The gates were shut tight and Jasmine could here the sound from far.
She quickly stood up and began making her way down. As she stepped on one more branch, it snapped and she fell from the tree. Although it was the shortest tree there,it was at least nine feet tall.
"Ow!" Jasmine winced in pain. She checked herself to see if everything was abandoned tried to stand up. Once again she fell and felt a sharp pain in her ankle. It had already started to swell. She held on to the tree and hopped on one leg till she fell again. Jasmine accepted her fate and coiled up against a tree holding herself to keep warm.

Queen Avereen was devastated. She was pacing back and forth . King Alpha tried to calm her down but she shut him off immediately. Cold winds blew.
Dane look outside the window as it began to rain. It began with a light drizzle and thunder was heard from a distance. It then rained heavily. Dane walked out of his study room and into the hall way where Sage, Crimson, King Alpha and Queen Avereen were. Jessica came running and said to them "She's not on school grounds!"
Dane took a turn ....
