PROLOGUE

"We lost the papers?!" Megeara said as she walked into Rosalinda's room on her ship and punched a wall wear the picture of Megeara, Tori, and Rosalinda. The picture fell and Rosalinda had dashed to grab it.

"Geary, sweetheart, its ok we're fine…" Rose smiled trying to calm down the pissed off archeologist as she was in her fit of rage. Rose sighed trying not to think about the fact that since the papers were gone she would have to go home to New Orleans Louisiana. She sighed; she could not go back to living with her elder sister Grace. Rose loved her sister but every time Rose said something her sex psychiatrist sister would tell her that that is not a healthy way for a young lady to feel.

"Rose, I will have Teddy set you up to go home starting tomorrow night." Geary hugged her as unshed tears twinkled in her eyes. Geary loved hanging out with Rose, she was the only on the boat who actually felt the need to know everything about her past.

Rose nodded trying hard not to show her extreme dissatisfaction about the papers. Adarian Malachai had promised her that the papers were good for five years, which was exactly how long she told Grace she would be gone. She had two years left on her trip and she had no idea what to do. "Alright, can I have one more night in this beautiful city?"

Geary smiled and nodded as Rose went underneath her bed and grabbed her suitcase flipping it open she grabbed the only outfit she has yet to wear in Greece, her hunting outfit. She smirked as she stripped naked and pulled on the skin tight leather skirt that barely covered her ass. After she pulled her skirt up she attached her three belts to her outfit, one belt started at her left hip and went down to her right thigh, the second belt went from her right hip down to her left thigh, and the third belt went on her waist so she could sheathe her daggers. She smirked as she grabbed her tight black knit tank top that covered her breasts but went down to just above her navel. She smiled as she started donning her weapons: two of her daggers went into sheathes on her hips, two needle point earrings that were razor sharp and could puncture anything, one needle point belly button ring that was as sharp as her earrings, a pair of arm warmers that had four daggers in them, and a set of combat boots that had retractable blades in them. She pulled her long blood red hair into a ponytail and smirked as she put to razor sharp chopsticks in her hair. She grabbed her cell phone of her nightstand and hooked it to an ankle strap that she put on her combat boots so not to lose her cell while she hunted. She started to leave the ship when Tori stopped her and pulled her into a hug crying and apologizing. "Tori, its fine I'm going hunting for my last night here." Rose smiled and gave her a hug, "Besides I need you to be strong for Geary, and if you get more papers, hit me up."

She left the boat without another word and started walking the streets of Athens when she came across a Sanctuary club. She smiled knowing there would be vampires in there hunting for food. She walked in and smiled at the bouncer who eyed her nervously as she walked in. "DAYUM this place is HUGE!" She sighed and spotted a tall blonde man surveying the area, just like a vampire would for food. She quietly crept up behind him and stuck a blade to his back as she whisper in the vampire's ear. "Be quiet and exit the bar now before I kill you right here and now."

The vampire held his hands up and nodded as he walked out of the bar and into the street as Rosalinda got into an attacking pose getting ready to strike. He turned around and that was when Rose saw a pair of pitch black eyes that no vampire has. She stood up instantly and looked at him. She cocked her head slightly to the side as she circled around the non-vampire. "What are you?"

Kyrian looked at a face he hadn't seen in years. He barely kept himself upright when he saw her. "Rosalinda…" Kyrian gasped in disbelief. The girl who was the exact copy of Rose kicked Kyrian back into a wall and pushed her foot against his neck.

"How do you know my name?" She all but growled as she pushed her foot deeper onto his neck.

Kyrian coughed as he tried to pry her foot off his neck. "I made a vow to a dear friend of mine to protect someone who looked a lot like you."

She dropped her foot and spun around so fast pushing her forearm onto his chest her cold flame red eyes stared into his pitch black eyes. Kyrian sighed as he looked at her. "Can you stop trying to kill me now? I promise I won't hurt you."

Skeptical she pulled back but kept her hands on her knives to be on the safe side. "Look I am on the hunt for vampires so if you're not a vampire let me go so I can get back to my own business before I am shipped back to New Orleans tomorrow so I can tell my sister that we lost the excavation papers." She started towards the opening of the alley looking back and forth out of caution before she began to walk away.

Kyrian cursed himself for what he decided had to be done but his inward mind wouldn't listen. I made a vow to Julian I have to keep her line safe, especially if she is the reincarnation of Rosalinda. "Wait, you can stay with me, I actually live in New Orleans."

She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around. "Excuse me…"

"You can stay with me if you would like."

She practically screamed in joy as she hugged the man she barely knew. Of course Rose knew it wasn't safe to stay at some strangers house, but she could protect herself from anything so she wasn't worried about it.
