After setting the Xing house on fire and leaving toddler Roselai orphaned, Sable surprised everyone by gaining custody of the baby.

Last time on Dynasties, Sable's poison plan backfires and she is forced to take matters into her own hands. After setting the Xing house on fire and leaving toddler Roselai orphaned, Sable surprised everyone by gaining custody of the baby. Moving far away from other Xing family members, Sable isolates Roselai and strips her of her identity. As years come and go, will Dulcea ever find her neice, Roselai? Roselai ran to the shed in bursting into tears. She sobbed for what seemed like an eternity before someone spoke...
"Roselai..." She turned an gasped!
"How did you know my real name?" Roselai asked.

"Don't cry, Roselai." was all the woman said before she released some sparkling dust into the air. Blinded, Roselai rubbed her eyes and when she opened them, the woman was gone!...
 Meanwhile at the Gathering of Intellects, the MC began the introductions.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman! Before we begin the celebration, I must first introduce our guest of honor." "My friends, please give a warm welcome to our resident sponsor, athletic all-star, and the leading researcher in Kinesimology. Featured in newspapers, magazines and television stations, Mr. Jerome Futa!" The guests turned to the grand stairs as Mr. Jerome Futa descended. The crowed applauded. Jerome was quite dashing, charming and intellectually stimulating. And as he addressed the crowd with his passionate speech about the Connection Between Football and Brain Damage... ... the ladies swooned and sighed as the gentlemen envied and agreed. Finally the MC spoke, "What a riveting personality! And now as I take the limelight away from Mr. Jerome Futa, I would like to take the opportunity to thank our guests for attending today and that the ballroom is now open. Let the party begin!" The music played and everyone was having a blast! Dancing, food, conversations, the entire ballroom lit up! Discretely, a young attendee arrived... Roselai took a deep breath... "Here goes..." She dove into the crowd meeting all sorts of people! Roselai chatted up some world-renown professors and scientist... Suddenly she spotted Sable! She panicked and her breath got caught in her throat. But Sable did not recognize her. After a few moments of fear and paranoia, Roselai ducked through to the other side of the ballroom. She bumped into a handsome fellow who introduced himself as Jerome Futa. They began to chat and soon they were swept away in conversation. Roselai learned a lot hearing from Jerome and she became fascinated by the education she was not able to get on her own... Soon after, Jerome insisted that they danced together. Hours into the night, Jerome began to fidget a little, nervously... "Um, I don't want to pressure you into telling me anything you don't want to. I don't usually - I mean, it isn't in my nature to ask ladies in a social setting what-"

Roselai shifted her feet, curiously.

"What I mean is that I would really like to get to know you better, and perhaps I could show you some of my research sometime over dinner." Roselai looked down, it was something she was afraid of doing. What if Mistress found out? She opened her mouth to speak, but was unable to find the words to express her distress. Jerome spoke up again, "I apologize at how exceptionally rude I was. Here, let me give you my contact and if you feel that you would like to see me again, you can find me." He raised her hand to her chin, "You are one-of-a-kind, you know that? Like... like a beautiful and delicate jasmine flower. I don't think I've ever met anyone like you before..." "Excuse me. Mr. Jerome Futa?" Jerome turned to see a peculiar woman standing before him. "Yes?"

"My name is Sable and I am a big fan of your work! I especially loved your book on-" "I'm sorry but I'll be with you in just a moment. I was just in the middle of an important conversation." Jerome interrupted. But when he turned back, Roselai was gone... "And he called me his jasmine, Jasmine!" Roselai swooned. Jasmine smiled, "I haven't seen you this happy ever." "But" she continued, "you cannot reveal yourself to him until you are sure he is the one." "For now, Roselai, you need to keep a low profile and if fate wants it, you will see him again..." "I've watched you cry many nights, Roselai... and as far as everyone else is concerned, I don't exist. I can't save you but maybe I can guide you to who can..." Jasmine said softly before vanishing into the night. Roselai heaved a heavy sigh. She knew Jasmine was right, but there was something warm that touched her heart at the formal that night.

"Fate, huh? I didn't even tell him my name..." she sighed before heading off to bed. In the morning, Spot was playing with Darcio and ran into the street! The 8 o'clock school bus was speeding its way down the road!!! Darcio cringed... Out of the blue, Darcio watched as Jennifer ran to thrust Spot out of harm's way as the bus driver slammed on her brakes... ... and came to a screeching halt. Later that night at dinner, Darcio couldn't eat. He had his mind on Jennifer saving Spot. Right as he asked to be excused from the table... ... he noticed his mother, Sable eyeing her father oddly. Cory was scarfing down his dinner. Darcio thought nothing of it and left the dining room. He decided to return minutes later to apologize about leaving so suddenly and finish his meal... But just outside the dinning room, he suddenly caught sight of his father coughing and weezing... ... and the sinister smile on his mother's face... In that moment, Darcio was unsure of what to say or do... ... he grew up. Darcio became a pleasure aspiration teen, and immediately turning away from stress and turmoil, he vacantly left the room... About a week had passed and Cory was pronounced dead, Sable finally returned home and decided to relax in front of the television.

The were a new broadcast from the sports field about Jerome Futa! At that moment, Roselai was passing the room and jumped at the sound of his name... Turns out that Jerome has publically declared a search for a mystery lady from the formal last week. Roselai listened in on the broadcast as Sable begins to scheme. Scurrying away, Roselai can't wait to tell Jasmine! Back at Dulcea's home, the search for Roselai gets put on hold as other events unfold in her life. She and Nicholas finally gets married!! Shortly after, Dulcea discovers that she is expecting right after work and a promotion to Detective. During the day, the couple decides which part of the house to renovate into a nursery for the new baby. Nicholas buys his dream car. A Ford Mustang GT! What a surprise!! A baby boy is born to the couple and they name him Daren, meaning born at night. They are also blessed with a baby girl! Twins! Her name is Hina, after the goddess of the moon. In Sable's household, Darcio brings a nice girl home from school. He and Edith become quick buddies. There's nothing like a good ol' round of Punch You Punch Me right before homework! Roselai was just about to recycle the newspaper when she noticed a front page story about Jerome! She quickly scanned the article. "He's looking for me." she whispered. "And he's personally going to the houses of all the guests from the ball!"

"That's right." A voice said. Roselai turned around and there he was, in the flesh. "Hello." he greeted. "Is this the home of Sable and Darcio Xing?" Roselai was in complete shock. "Y-yes." she stammered. "Great! Could I please meet with them? You can probabaly guess why from that article." he implyed eyeing the newspaper she had dropped. When Roselai didn't respond, Jerome softened.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I was a little taken back by your make-up. You do seem awfully familiar though. Have we met?" Roselai shifted her feet and fidgeted with her fingers. She didn't know what to say or where to start. "I-I" she croaked. "I'm a big fan of yours."
Jerome nodded, "But I guess Sable isn't home?" Roselai knew she had to lie fully aware her mistress was sleeping in a coffin. "Yes, she stepped out. But I'm-"
"Oh, that's ok. Could you please give this letter to her? I'll be on my way then." he said waving goodbye. She put the letter in her pocket and watched him walk away. "I have to do something." she thought. "I've got to find Jasmine." Later that night, she met up with Jasmine. "My Roselai. I'm gone a few days and you've become an adult!" Roselai smiled and told her about the entire encounter. "Oh Jasmine! I felt my heart feeling warm! I really want to tell him but I don't know how. Is he the one that will save me?" she asked. Meanwhile, just like any other modern day witch, Sable conjours up a magical spell to create a deadly potion. She remembers the girl that Jerome was talking to that night. It was only for a moment, but Sable is confident that she has a good memory of her. And after recieving his letter about returning tomorrow night, Sable decides to put her scheme into motion.
Making sure no one is around, she drinks it all. As the shocking affects settle in, all Sable has to do now, is ensure that no one but Jerome will see her until tomorrow. Back in the shed, Roselai begs Jasmine. "Please, use your magic to bring him here so I can tell him that it was me!!" Jasmine thinks about it for a long while. "You know, it is a difficult spell and I won't be able to use my powers or even see you for the next few days."
Roselai nodded, "I know you'll need to rest, but once I tell him, I will be saved and you won't ever have to use your powers for me again!" Jasmine sighed, "Alright then. Let's hope this works!" she said waving her fingers in the air and mumbling some spells under her breath. Like a flash of lightning, Jerome appeared in front of her in quite the daze. "Auuurrrggg. What happened? Where am I?" he exclaimed grabbing his head in pain. Even Roselai was transformed! And as soon as he laid eyes on her, he knew. "You! It's you! I've been looking everywhere for you!" he took her hands in his. "Oh Jerome." she whispered as he drew her into a kiss. "Roselai." Jasmine spoke up, "The spell is wearing off, I can't stop it." Roselai jumped into his arms, "Come back for me tomorrow night here are Sable's house." Jerome held her tight, "I will, I promise." And with that, he disappeared and Roselai was back to how she was before the spell. Jasmine gave her a hug, "It's alright Roselai. Just think, after tomorrow night, you will be free and you will be saved!" The next day, Roselai happily did her chorse humming. And as night settled in... Roselai gussyed up in the shed with a new outfit Jasmine had left for her. But outside someone locked the door. "I can't have anyone interrupting my night or seeing me like this, it'll completely ruin my plan. She'll just have to wait." Sable purred.
 Later, Jerome arrived at the house just like he promised. He was anxious to see her again.

"Her..." he thought, "I don't even know her name!" Sable stealthly flicked off all the lights in the house before opening the door. "Let me get you a little more relaxed..." she purred giving him a backrub. From the dining room, Darcio saw it all. He rubbed his eyes a few times before he could believe it. His mom was doing something crazy and he knew what she had in store for Jerome.

"I've got to find someone that can stop this!" And he bolted out the door. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but you seem different. Are you alright?" Jerome asked. Sable said nothing and lead him into the bedroom... Roselai had jiggled the handle and pounded on the door, screaming at the top of her lungs. "HELP! SOMEBODY! I'M LOCKED UP! ANYBODY THERE?!?" She began to panic. "What am I going to do? Jerome will think it's all a dream and he'll forget about me. I'm going to die in here!" She began to cry, "Oh Jasmine. I wish you were here. What can I do?" Back in the house, Sable was cozying up to Jerome. He stopped her, "H-hey. Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, it seems a little unconventional don't you think?"

"Mine." Sable whispered and she lured him off the bed and into a trance... Roselai collapsed to her knees in tears.

Suddenly she heard the door unlock and she turned around... ... to see Darcio in the doorway!! He gasped, "Jennifer? You're the girl from the ball?!?" Roselai beamed! "Darcio! Oh my stars you've saved me!!" She gave him a tight hug. "I'm glad you're ok." Darcio said and smiled. "But there's something even more terrible! My mom just took Jerome into the bedroom and I'm sure she's planning on turning him into a Vampire to create more spawn! You have to stop her!" In the bedroom, Jerome falls under a trance... Sable casts her spell of seduction... And lunges forth to take a giant bite... "Hold it right there, Mistress!" Roselai yelled barging in through the doorway. Sable was startled, "Jennifer?!? Is that you?" Jerome suddenly snapped back into reality. "What's going on?" "I'm Roselai, not Jennifer! Jerome, she's disguised herself to turn you into a vampire against your will! It's me, your jasmine. You promised to come save me." Roselai insisted. From the hallway, the clock struck midnight... And a glowing light enveloped Sable. "What the hell?!?" Jerome exclaimed. Sable aged into an elder! "You think you're so smart, Roselai." she sneered. "I'll get you next time!" she screamed... And in a puff of smoke, she started to fly! "Quick grab her!!" Roselai and Darcio slammed the doorshut as the bat flew into it and passed out cold. In a small confinement and a bright sunroof, Sable awakens in a cell. The sun is coming up... "How could my own son do this to me?" And she began to pray. To anything. The sun peeke through the glass... And Sable began to fade away. "Rohan...." she hissed before dicipating into thin air.

With Sable gone, will order be restored? Will Dulcea be reunited with Roselai? And what about Darcio? Being able to condemn his own mother like that, what is he capable of? Find out more in the next installments! Stay tuned!

    Interesting installment. I wonder if Darcio's abandonment of Sable is the result of what he saw her do to his father--revenge, of some sort? Sweet to see Roselai and Jerome meet and fall in love in a Cinderella meets The Little Mermaid type setting. Very well done.

    OMG I love this series!! It is so full of......well AWESOMENEST!!!! I DO think it's really stupid that TSR would reject a story just because of a cool plot that has murder. I made a story about this girl going broke and when she was away, her dad was murdered. I don't see what's wrong with that? I mean SHE didn't kill him. Sometimes website creaters are weird.\:rolleyes: 5.0\:rah\:
