And then Xaden went off.
Erik turned back to Jasmine. "You best be on your way now."
She nodded.
"And don’t come up unless I ask you to. Do you understand?" He asked her.
She nodded. "Yes."
He sighed and then she stopped short.
"What was it that you said about Xaden’s sister’s hair?" She asked him.
"Anna’s hair? The loc of hair we have?"
She nodded. "Yes that. You said as if she were perhaps putting things in her hair."
"Yes." He nodded. "Some old magic. It would take down her true scent. Maybe it was being woven into her hair in some type of way."
Jasmine nodded and then Kire took her back down into the cabin.

"I can not wait for all of this to end mother." Jessica said as her mother combed her hair.
She was seated inside her mother’s bedroom on a small put plush stool while her mother sat down on a chair and brushed through her golden hair.
It was something that she remembered her mother always did every week since she was a child.
She would sit down and her mother would brush her very gently for up to twenty minutes.
Even after the moonlight pack had been taken siege, her mother still found a way to do it.
It was the only few times they had a chance of being together in secret.
"Very soon." Her mother assured her. "Your father is handling things my dear. Very soon we will be rid of them once and for all."
"And Jasmine?" She asked her mother. "What about her."
"That stupid stupid girl." Her mother said. "She was of no use. Your father sent her a message since and she has yet to respond. She is acting all precious because she is now far away."
"I told you mother." Jessica screwed her face up. "Leaving our fate in the hands of that stupid girl is just nonsense! She is i competent! If it were to be me I will have delivered by now."
"I know my love." Luna Maria told her daughter as she gently brushed her hair. "But such a work is not fit for you."
"But mother she is living life swell! She is pretending to be me mother!" Jessica hissed. "Imagine that! Pretending to be me! I know that she is taking advantage of all my golds and jewels while I wear nothing but her ugly rags."
"Oh no love." Luna Maria said as she gently snapped her fingers at B the servant who was standing obediently.
The servant hurried and rushed through the drawers and brought out a small box.
Then she brought it to Luna Maria.
The servant opened it for her and gold dust lay inside.
"In due time my love." Luna Maria said as she fetched the gold dust and used it to brush through Jessica’a blonde hair.
Jessica peeked in. "What is that mother? Oh the gold dust."
