"Hello Rosemarie, I am Salem."

I tried to spring out of the bed but as soon as my body tried to move, a horrible pain raked through me.

"You should be careful, when I pulled you out off the ambulance your chart said you have at least 7 broken ribs and a concoction." Salem said.

"H..how d…id yo..u m….anage to me f…r..om ambulance?"(how did you manage to get me from the ambulance?)

"well alchemists don't really care about dhampirs or Moroi, so it was not very hard to slip around them as they checked out the scene" he said shrugging.

"what do you want with me?" I asked poison dripping off my voice.

"Well you see Rosemarie, about every 20 years someone comes along that is worthy of being tested buy me. Over the past 200 years only 10 people- including you have passed my test, but out of the 9 that I have trained only 1 lived to tell about it and she became the only Dhampir in the world that had any chance of beating me in a fight. Because you see dear child I am the king of all Strigoi I have lived for a Thousand years, and am unstoppable so I train dhampirs to their maximum then send them out into the world to do my bidding."

"Hmmm….. I don't know what drugs you have been smoking, but I will never do your damn 'bidding' so you can just go fuck a tree."

"I always enjoyed a challenge, but I know you will not help me in my wants. the reason I chose you is because a royal Moroi is trying to extinguish a very rare and powerful blood line that 800 years ago learned the real truth about royal Strigoi like myself and helped up through are darkest day so we could once more claim our throne, sadly I am the only one left. And I want to train you to be the one to kill her. and to save your charge." he said looking straight in to my eyes. that was the first time I ever really looked at him his bright crimson eyes were lined in a striking Green that you could tell in humanity would have been mesmerizing, and he had deep shade of blond hair, and of course a body that was Very pleasing to the eye, but he gave of the most dangerous yet sweet feel that I could not help but to trust him.

"what do you mean the truth about 'royal' Strigoi and the Dragomeir's helping you back to your throne?"

"well 800 years ago war among Strigoi broke out. once we were a counsel of executioners, when the Moroi would pass judgment on people they were sent to us. but after a while a few of us went missing and when we found them they had already succeeded in making their army that they had no control over and released them upon the world, creating the misery they now cause today. but that is not the only thing they did while our guards were all out fighting the new untrained and blood thirsty beings that dared to call themselves Strigoi, their creators released his most powerful minions in the hall of judgment where we all once lived in a cave that has long cense been destroyed. they killed off almost every powerful ruler in the hall, we were not out powered just so far outnumbered it is a true miracle that so many of us lived. but at the point where there was a slight break in the war only about a day long, every single royal Moroi family left, except the Dragomeir's. they stayed by our side and helped us defeat our enemies, but as you can tell there are still so many blood lusting 'Strigoi' out there, but compared to back then they seem like so few. but I still owe the family my life they lost so many helping us. and when I said I released my trained dhampir to do my bidding she kills the crimson beasts as I call them." his story replayed over and over again in my head.

when he finally broke the silence he explained, "so, if this new tyrant succeeds in completing her army war among Strigoi will break out once more, but now I am absolutely positive I will have no chance in winning there would just be to many of them ."

"Ok, so the 'crimson beasts' would get your throne, but what would this Moroi get out of the deal?"

"Oh, they do not just plan on stopping at my throne they will over through Tatiana as well."

"Now tell me who is this Moroi tyrant?"
