Prologue

Rose Hathaway was 8 years old when she was taken, it was meant to be a routine shopping trip with her best friend Lissa, it was the two of them and 3 Guardians who's soul proposer was to keep them safe, well to keep Lissa safe anyway. Being the last of her bloodline she was one of the most important Moroi in existence.

The two girls were holding hands walking out of the shopping mall, it was getting late and time to leave, the sun was just starting to set, the sky turning slightly red behind the clouds. Their Guardians glanced nervously at each other, then didn't realise it had gotten so late.

"Princess we need to be moving, its getting dark" one of then said to Lissa, he was the tallest of the tree of them, short brown hair, Lissa main Guardian. All three of them were wearing the guardian uniform, all dressed in black.

Rose didn't like him very much, he was uptight and just not a very nice person to be around, plus he didn't like Rose,

"Okay" replied Lissa. They made they way to the van, which was parked across the street from the mall. Just as the tall one open the door, there was a loud screeching sound, letting them all know another van was coming towards them, and fast.

Everything happened so fast, the guardians tried to hurry the girls into the van, one of them picking Lissa up, as she tried to climb in. glancing at the van, Rose noticed that it was a black van with tinted windows, and it was coming right for them.

The van come up close theirs pushing the Guardians back and out of the way. Rose could here them shouting at the girls to get back, away from the door, but it was too late, the door to the black van slide open, a man reached out and grabbed Rose by the waist, she tried to hold on to the seat in front of her. But it was no good, the man was too strong.

Lissa tried to grabbed her but she was scared, her hands sweating and she couldn't get a good grip of Rose's hand.

Rose was pulled into the van, while Lissa was screaming her name, the door slid closed again, and she was in darkness, she tried to kick and scream, but they held her down, pain explored at the back of her head, just before she fell unconscious.
