Prologue:

Where should I begin? My best friend Vasilisa Dragomir has just became Queen. She was the last in her line, which means she needs top of the line protection, which equals top of the line guardians. I, of course, am one of the best. What's my problem you ask? My problem is that my bad ass skills are being tested. We are both against this completely but a so called 'guidance advisor' thinks otherwise. So now myself and who knows however many other people are thrown into battle. The best of the best. Against? each other. The five that prove themselves worthy enough will get the job. This should be a piece of cake, for me.

Chapter 1

"Attention everyone, Today will be the first of many days you will spend fighting for your lives. This is a special test that will prove your skills and talents and among many other things. You will need to understand that you are by yourself. The five best will be left standing. You will return here each and every week for body count and everyday for necessities to life. Good luck and remember they come first."

As the woman finished speaking, I had already taken my time to look around. How was I suppose to kill fellow guardians. Two were my friends. None of this seemed at all right. There were about twenty individuals and only five would make it out alive. We were suppose to kill with no mercy. No only that we, each of us guardians would not be the only threat to our lives. We had other challenges. Strigoi. But that was expected.

(First Day)

I had made my way to back were Eddie and Mason(he is not dead in my story !) were standing.

"Castile, Ashford," I said with my man eating smile.

"Hathaway," Eddie said smiling.

"Rose, glad to see you're in a good mood," Mason said slinging an arm around my shoulders.

"Me in a good mood, highly unlikely." I said removing his arm, "we ready to be the last ones standing?"

"Of course," Eddie said smiling.

"If i'm not standing i'll be laying on top of you," Mason smiled wiggling his eyebrows.

"Not even in your dreams," I said smiling. I turned around to look at the rest of the competition. Some looked really aggressive. Some had formed alliances like myself, Eddie, and Mason. One person stood out to me. He was tall. He was very attractive and I mean this guy was hot. He had brown hair that was tied back. He also had dark brown eyes. Dark brown eyes that were looking back at me. He looked a little mysterious. Something about him made me want to learn about him.

"Rose, close your mouth and stop drooling on my foot," Eddie said waving a hand in front of my face.

"Shut up. I was not drooling." I said trying to wipe my mouth in a surreptitious way. I glanced toward the guys way again. He was still looking at me. I turned away.

"Do we get to know names?" I asked.

"You just want to know your wannabe boyfriend's name," Eddie teased.

"Oh shut up. I wouldn't want him to be my boyfriend when I have Mase, Its not like he would let me pursue it, right?"

"Of course not Rose, You'll be mine one day, and that one day will come soon."

"We'll see about that. So what are we doing today? Do we go into action right away?"

"We're suppose to be meeting new people today, tomorrow we're into the action," Mason said smiling.

"That's strange," I said frowning.

"What is?" Eddie asked.

"Why would they want us to meet new people, we consider them friends and then we'd have to kill them."

"Its a test of will. If we run into someone we meet that used to be a friend and turned strigoi we'd have to be able to kill them."

"I see. But still this whole arrangement is stupid. We're the best for a reason. All of us should be used to protect Lissa not just five of us."

"Its not our call," This came from neither Mason nor Eddie. I turned around to see that guy. I really needed to learn his name. His words were laced with a Russian accent. In another other situation that would sound unbelievably sexy.

"So whose call is it?" I asked folding my arms.

"That's not important what's important is for us to do what we're suppose to do."

"And you are?"

"Belikov. Dimitri Belikov." He said extending a hand. Which I glanced at and ignored.

"Ahh you see . . umm . .Belikov was it? I, don't do what I'm suppose to do." I said aggressively.

"She never does," Eddie said smiling.

"And your name is?" Belikov said looking at me.

"Rose Hathaway," I said with a man eating smile.

"Nice to know who my competition is. Hope you're as good as they say you are."

"I'm not. I'm better." I said with a smirk on my face.

"We'll see, Roza" he said walking away.

"That's not my name," I called to him but he continued walking without another word.

I turned around to see Mason looking at me.

"What?" I asked. He shook his head and started walking away.

"What?" I asked again. This time I turned to look at Eddie who just slung an arm around me and laughed.

"Rose, that was Dimitri Belikov, he's like a god." Eddie said walking and stopping where Mason had stopped.

"Psh. .him. . a god? Yea right. You're exaggerating."

"Okay Rose, but there is a reason he's here and that's it." I took a glance at him. He looked dangerous but I could take him. His gaze met mine. Well see how Godly he is. .
