Chapter 8 – The New Help and Past Lovers

Serenity woke up with the suns beams shining through the broken glass of the window. She smiled and snuggled up closer to the warmth that she lying naked against. "Wait…naked?" She opened her eyes and saw the naked chest of a man and then it came back to her…she had slept with the hunter. She crawled out from under his arms and began getting dressed frantically. She had on her everything but her shirt when Endymion woke up.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" He asked as he sat up. A lazy grin on his face. Serenity growled agitatedly at him and pulled her shirt on.

"Home, I have got to get home, its morning!"

"But…you can walk in the day light…" Endymion began getting dressed looking puzzled at Serenity.

"Yes, but…I have a normal day job ass. I have a meeting today and I have to get there…" She pulled on her duster and ran for the window. Half naked Endymion grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.

"Cancel…stay with me…" He brushed his lips against her cheeks.

"I can't and even if I could" She pushed him away and put a foot on the window frame "I wouldn't. You killed my twin sister; your father killed my mother. Others like you killed the rest of my clan. Last night was a sign of weakness that will not happen again hunter." With that she jumped out of the window. Endymion watched her run off and sighed getting dressed.

"And your clan killed my father. My only family and friends until recently…" He shook his head and left to go home.

Rei and Mina sat at the morning table Rei sipping her tea and Mina moaning from a hangover. "Serenity didn't come home last night." Rei said in a worried tone.

Mina looked up and sighed "Sere is a big vampire…she can take care of herself…but that hunter is persistent..."

Just then Serenity landed on the balcony outside the dining room, both Mina and Rei turned around to see a frazzled, messy and dusty looking Serenity come stalking into the apartment. "I can't talk right now unless you want to talk while I shower and dress. I have a meeting today in a couple hours." They nodded and sat in the bathroom while Serenity showered.

"What happened Sere?" Mina asked.

"Stupid hunter…"

Rei shook her head "What happened between you and the 'Stupid Hunter'"

Serenity sighed and reached for a wash cloth "We were fighting and then we fell through the roof. Once inside this old, dilapidated apartment complex with threw each other through wall and then…we…um…" She growled "Buddy Christ! We had sex!"

Mina stared at the shower curtain while Rei tried to catch her falling tea cup. "What?"

"We had sex! We slept together! Bow chica bow bow! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Serenity stepped out of the shower and proceeded in drying herself off. "Mina can I use your make up to hide these bruises, for some reason they haven't healed yet and I don't want to take a chance in them being there when I have my meeting today."

"Yeah sure Sere…but you and the hunter…had…sex? I though you said you hated him?"

"I do! He killed Angel!" She pulled out her hair dryer and brushed out her hair while blow drying it.

"Yes, he did kill Angel…" Mina looked down at her hands.

"And his father did kill your mother…but our fathers killed his father…" Rei said with a sigh.

Serenity placed the blow dryer down and went into her room she pulled on her underwear and bra then pulled on a pair of black knee high combat boots, black trousers, a white shirt with a black tie and a black blazer jacket hanging open. She pulled her hair back into a pony tail and put on her make up then left for the restaurant with her canvas bag holding her new book.

Jadeite cut the vampires head off with an easy swing of his katana. Looking down at the brunette that the vampire had just attacked her sighed and shook his head. "Pity…you were such a pretty girl with a bright future ahead of you…" he cocked his head to the side as he saw a shadow hovering over him; he turned in time to see a blonde coming at him from the roof.

Serenity pinned him down and smirked "Hey Jade…"

"Well if it isn't the little vampire girl…How's the day job?" He tried to wrestle her off of him but failed.

"Good…but my questing is about your night time job…what did you think you were going to do to that girl there?"

"Kill her before she awoke as one of you…I guess you saw me kill your buddy there huh?"

"I don't care about other vampires Jade…I care only about those that concern me…and this girl definitely concerns me, I've been protecting her and her family for ages. Now…what am I going to do with you?"

"Well you can either let me go free…or kiss me again and let me show you a wild time…" He laughed and bucked his hips trying to get her off of him.

She smirked and shook her head "no…I don't think so…" She punched him in the head knocking him out, then picked up the girl and threw her over her shoulder. "I've tried to protect your family for over four hundred years, with my new preoccupation with the hunters, I've slacked and now look what's happened…you get bitten and probably turned. Please forgive me Lita…God you're tall..."

Serenity laid Lita on the couch and started cleaning her up when Rei and Mina walked in "Sere…that isn't Ashler's descendent is it?"

Serenity nodded and walked into her room grabbing some clothes. She pulled off Lita's green hip hugger jeans that were torn up and her once white presently bloody and muddy t-shirt and put on a pair of black baggy knee length shorts and a white tank top. "She was bitten and one of the hunters almost killed her. She's still alive, only when she awakens, which should be soon, she'll be one of us…" Serenity shook her head. "Shit…"

Within a half an hour's time Lita woke up and looked around. She saw three very familiar women sitting around her. "Good morning sunshine…the world says hello…" Said the woman with short blonde hair dressed completely in black.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"All you questions will be answered soon…but…do you know who Ashler Forrester is?" Serenity asked.

"Yeah, he's one of my ancestors from over four hundred years ago…why?"

"Do you know of his history? Of your family's legend?" Rei asked

"Of our vampire guardians? Yeah I've heard all about that. Ashler fell in love with a beautiful maiden who became his lover, when he wished to marry her; she revealed that she was a vampire. His love for her was to strong for him to care, but he was nobility so he had to marry to pass on an heir so, he married and had children and kept her as a lover until the day he died. Legend has it that she continues to protect us to this day with her…two…companions…" She gulped and looked around at all three of them again…"Wait…are you telling me that all three of you are my family's guardians?"

Serenity nodded "You are correct about my love for Ashler and his love for me."

Lita shook her head, "I thought all the ancients were dead…it looks like Mark owes me fifty dollars…"

Mina cocked her head to the side "Excuse me?"

"If you guys are supposed to be my guardians you became lax one night about four years ago. I've been a vampire for over four years now." Lita smiled and laughed "I was attacked tonight in the alley by some rogue vampire who doesn't like my clan. Boy are they going to be stoked to know ancients still exist…"
