(Nine Months later)
(December 1)
On a cold winter night, as the moon hung in the night sky above the city of New York. The streets were bustling with activity with people come and going. Unaware of what is true horrors that were hidden in the shadows of the night. Creatures that would only come out at night to feed and hunted the unlucky souls of the city. A warrior would rise to the challenge to fight back against the dark shadows of the night.
A beautiful lady leaves the nightclub completely unaware danger that was hidden in the shadows of the night. She started walking down the sidewalk reached in the purse and looking for her cellphone to call a taxi after few drinks with her friends. When a man runs up and grabs her purse and runs off with it. The woman started running after him and yell give back my purse. A-arm stretched out from the dark alley, grabbing her around the neck and pulled her in the darkest of the alley, and throw her against the wall.
The woman begins begging and pleading for them to stop and let her go. "I will not call the police." "The tallest man says, shut your mouth blood-whore." The woman noticed there were two dark figures with burning red eyes, pale skin, and fangs. The woman started screaming out of fear. Both strigoi's started leaning in to take a bite from her.
A voiced cut threw the night air. "Don't you have something better to do than hunt young women?" The tallest strigoi head snapped to the right where the voice was coming from. "Saying you must be the rogue guardian that we have all heard about. You have killed many brothers and sisters. But tonight, you meet your end."
A dark figure dash out of the shadows with the speed of a cheetah, and excellently dangerous in combat. Small strigoi once was human at one time. Could seen dark figure wearing all back with black skin-tight jean, leather jacket with hood, leather boots, Protective Half Face Mask in color black with silver stake in the right hand.
The tall strigoi raced into battle and started throwing punches at the Rogue Guardian missing every time. Rogue Guardian keeps moving to make it hard for the tall strigoi to land a single blow. When the silver stake cut his face making the male screams out in pain from the silver felt like acid to his skin. Noticing an open to his heart and taking plugging the silver stake into his heart. Viewing life leaves the male body. When strigoi eyes with big and started close pulled out the silver stake letting the body it the ground in the front figure.
The other strigoi show off their fangs to Rogue Guardian. The smallest strigoi started running to fight the rogue guardian. "Yelling I am going to kill you." The rogue guardian waited with a stake in hand. Stepping to the side and putting out right arm clothesline making creature knocked off his feet out from under him. The strigoi fells back to his back. Rogue Guardian plugged the silver stake into his chest into his heart. Viewing life leaves the male body. When strigoi eyes with big and started close pulled out the silver stake.
Rogue Guardian reached down started going through the pockets of the strigoi's, taking money, jewels, and cellphones. "The woman said thank you for your help. I was so scared these creatures were going to kill me." Rogue Guardian stood up, walked over, reached out, and grabbed the lady by the neck. Pushing young women against the wall. "Saying quiet! You are alone live. Because I was passing through the area. Your nothing but food to them."
The figure looks into the young woman's eyes and started compelling her. " Rogue saying stay here until few people arrive soon. They will take care of you and in the morning. You will not remember what happens here. Now on you leave with friends or call a cab inside the club. Stay inside until the cab arrives to pick you up." "The lady said Yes!" The Rogue let go of the women.
Reaching inside the pocket. Grabbing one of the cellphones and dialing a number.
A young lady voice came online and said "Sydney, here."
"The figure said "this Rogue."
Rogue said "two dead, for pick up, and a witness in the alley behind Club 57."
Hung up the cellphone.
The Rogue Guardian dashed back into the shadows to hunt some more strigoi's.
(Tasha's house)
(December 3)
Dimitri, walking into Tasha's house after a good morning run. Listening to Cd that Jasmine made for him with great Rock bands from the 1980s. Keep himself strong, sexy for himself and Jasmine. "Tasha asked, how was your morning run?" "Dimitri said, excellent. Am going to take a hot shower."
Dimitri could notice that Tasha was wearing sexy lingerie again. Try to get him that she looked sexy. "Dimitri though it would looks so much better on Jasmine sexy body. Than on your old dirty ass." "Tasha asked how do I look?" "Dimitri said, Tasha! How many time have I told you that I that don't see you in that way? Would please stop wearing stuff like that around me. I hate to tell you. But you look like you put on weight and might want to change before you catch a cold." Dimitri walked upstairs to his bedroom to take a shower. Close his bedroom door behind him.
(Hour later)
After Dimitri's shower walking back into the kitchen and finding coffee made. Walking over and get a cup of coffee. "Dimitri asking if the newspaper come yet?" "Tasha said earlier! While you are out doing your morning run. It's in the living room on the table next to your chair." Dimitri walked out of the kitchen into the living room and sit down in his chair." Sitting coffee down on the table, reaching over, grabbing a newspaper, and started reading on the front page about the Rogue Guardian.
"Tasha said Rogue Guardian has struck again. There were three locations close to each other last night. The first was behind Club 57 with two dead strigoi. The second location was at the Green Door bar in the alley with four dead strigoi, the last place was Playground and Park, and there was nine dead strigoi. Bring the kill count eighty-eight dead strigoi in last few months in New York City."
"Dimitri said so last night, the rogue guardian killed fifteen strigoi in one night. The last place was playground and park must be hunting children. I could understand why this rogue guardian killed them to keep the monsters away." Dimitri stopping and remember that what baby Jasmine called strigoi. Bring a smile on his lips. "Dimitri asked so did you read the paper?" "Tasha said No! Vasilisa called earlier and told me."
"Dimitri asked what did Vasilisa have to say about what the people at Court might believe about this rogue guardian?" "Tasha said, Big news all over the court! There are three answers to the question. First, the people believe this rogue guardian after their Moroi had kill or turn strigoi. The second might be that this guardian might just go rogue. The third is that guardians might be sent out by their Moroi to keep people safe." "Dimitri said interesting! I think this rogue guardian was sent out by their Moroi to fight back against strigoi."
"Tasha said Queen Tatiana is planning to begin sending out search parties to discover who is the Rogue Guardian in Manhattan, New York within a week or two. To search and capture this Rogue Guardian." "Dimitri said Rogue Guardian sounds like a bad-ass to me. I bet they have trouble trying to capture the Rogue guardian. I would love to be a part of the search party for this Rogue Guardian. Tasha said, bet you would." Dimitri thought to himself best way get away from your dumb ass.
"Dimitri asked do they know if a man or woman?" "Tasha said the alchemists have been cleaning up after this Rogue Guardian for months." "Dimitri's head snapped around, glanced at Tasha, and said, the alchemists! Do the alchemists know if man or woman?" "Tasha said Vasilisa didn't say." "Dimitri said it seems the alchemists have hidden the truth about the rogue guardian."
Tasha could see that Dimitri was instead in this Rogue guardian more than normal. So Tasha change the subject. "Tasha said Christian called again." Dimitri realized that Tasha change subjects again. "Dimitri asked how are Christian and Jasmine doing?" "Tasha said Christian said everything is going great at college. He doing great in classes, and he is coming to visit on Christmas." "Dimitri asked that great news. How is Jasmine doing?" "Tasha said I didn't ask."
"Dimitri said I don't understand you, Tasha. You would go out of your way to make Jasmine's life hell. When you know that her life hasn't been easy after the attack and rape. All people, I would have thought you would stand beside her. Jasmine had forgiven you after you compelled Roza to poison her and turn her into a two-year-old toddler. Then you slept with Damon. Jasmine still invites you into her home. This is how you repay her? Still, go out of your way to make her life hard. What the hell is wrong with you?" "Tasha said Nothing is wrong with me." Dimitri rolled his eyes and started reading his newspaper.
Adrian started dreaming of sitting in a little cafe. Smoking and drinking a cup of coffee. See Jasmine sitting right in front of him. "Jasmine said Hello! Uncle." "Adrian said Hello! Little Nova. It has been a while since the last time from last spirit dream." "Jasmine said, sorry! I have been busy."
"Adrian said, how is everything going at college?" "Jasmine said I am learning a lot, and so is Pyro. How are Eddie, Rosie, and Vasilisa doing?" "Adrian said Eddie is dating Mia." "Jasmine said that surprising. Little Dhampier and I are dating it will be three months tomorrow." "Jasmine said Happy Anniversary." 'Adrian said thank you!" "Vasilisa misses Christian and you a lot." "Jasmine said I surprise to hear Vasilisa miss Christian and Me."
"Adrian asked I guess that you heard the news about rogue guardian appeared in New York City about seven months ago and killed eighty-eight dead strigoi all over the city." "Jasmine said New York is a big place for hunting grounds. Do you have any idea who this rogue guardian is?" "Adrian said No! Queen Tatiana is planning to begin sending out search parties to discover who is the Rogue Guardian in Manhattan, New York within a week or two. To search and capture this Rogue Guardian."
"Jasmine said I think Queen Tatiana might be doing the wrong thing. If this Rogue Guardian is doing a good job and killing off strigoi. Capture the Rogue Guardian could be a bad thing. What happens the Rogue Guardian just stops or disappeared. Queen Tatiana could get more people killed. Because this Rogue Guardian sounds like a bad-ass to me."
Jasmine started fading from the dream. Adrian sit up in his bed and looked at the clock. Relizing it was noon in the afternoon. Remember Christian and Jasmine three hours behind him. It is time for school both of them.
