Jasmine's search was going nowhere fast and she was running out of time. Finding a clear spot, she sat down and tried to get her thoughts together. Taking the crystal out of her pocket, she held it in her hand and stared at it. "Alright crystal, you haven't failed me so far. I really need your help." She knew knew it wasn't the crystal's fault that she had been unsuccessful. She just hadn't asked the right questions.

Then all of a sudden, Jasmine had a thought. Maybe the necklace hadn't been placed randomly after all. Maybe its location had some kind of significance. There were two places that Jasmine could think of that had some kind of significance. The first one, Professor Cassie couldn't possibly know about. Then again, she was the Divination teacher. She did have the inner eye. Jasmine rushed to her most special place by the lake and looked around. Nothing. She realized that she should have consulted the crystal first. She wasted time for nothing.

Not about to make the same mistake twice, Jasmine asked the crystal about her second possibility. Holding it up and watching it dangle, she said, "Is my necklace by the beech tree?" Bingo. That was a big fat circular yes. Jasmine broke into a run, not stopping until she reached the tree. Frantically looking around for several minutes, Jasmine finally looked up. There it was. Hanging from a low branch was her necklace. Breathing a sigh of relief, Jasmine stood on tiptoe and retrieved the necklace. Not wasting a moment, she fastened it around her neck and vowed not to take it off again. Checking her watch, she knew she'd better get a move on. Mission completed, Jasmine headed back to the castle.
