No one knew why it happened... Some people knew how it happened... Many more knew only that indeed it had happened... even tho that was now more than five years ago.
Five years ago, when the world drastically changed.
Details are not needed, suffice it to say that men in power, many men in power, in the midst of developing a biological nightmare, unleashed that nightmare, unwittingly, on the general population.
It was swift, it was deadly, and no cure had been developed.
But.... isn't there always a but.... some people, not sure of they would consider themselves lucky, some people, were immune. They survived the intial outbreak. They survived and slowly, so very slowly, some flourished.
Even tho the world looked the same, it was not the same.
The survivors found each other, yes. They had to, in order to live.
It took some months... many months in reality... close to perhaps a couple of years... but slowly, the division worked itself out. Good... and Evil....
And, for whatever reason, a reason that has snaked surely thru history, a reason that has marred man since time began... the war began.
Ugly, vicious, bloody, deadly.... the war raged...
Luna Drathir had been born during the *before*... that was what the world, life, was called that existed before 5 years ago. She had been born during the *before* but she barely remembered it. She had been a young 14, almost 15 she would tell you, when it happened, her immediate family wiped out. Leaving only her. A cousin and an Aunt also survived, they living in another state. But as far as Luna was concerned, she was all alone.
Luna had been a problem teenager even back then. Trouble just seemed to find her. One would have thought that she would have ended up in Vegas, in the heart of where the Evil had started and prospered. But no, despite her trouble, the fact that she had tried drugs, at the tender age of 13, the fact that she drank at 14, and despite the fact she had lost her virginity at that same young age, no, she did not end up in Vegas. Strangely enough, her *before* was forgotten, and she found her way to Salt Lake, where it was quiet, forgiving, good, and where the Guardians had their headquarters.
The Guardians were the army of this new world. At least the good army. In this horrible war, it was the Guardians that tried to keep this new population safe, and happy, and good.
Luna, try as she might to stay out of trouble, found herself once more in trouble, it just seemed to find her, stalk her... No matter the good people, the not so good always managed to infiltrate, send by THEM...
Them... no one talked about them... most feared them.... They were at war... with Them.....The Evil ones... the bad people...
At 19, Luna found herself in jail, the blood of another on her hands. No one would listen when she said she killed him in self defense, that he had tried to rape her. No, he was a Cop, Cops were a division of the Guardians now. And she was far from virginal. Surely this was not a case of rape.
But her punishment was.... placed on hold... so to speak... after Luna nearly killed another cop who held her captive. She had managed to trip him, and kicked him so hard in the head that she had cracked his skull.
That was when the Guardians took notice.
She was recruited, her punishment would be forgiven, if she would come and *work* for them.... yeah... work.... Luna was given no real choice...
Trained, she was sent to the city if evil, Vegas.... Her mission, really, was quite simple. They needed a "mole" inside. Someone who could find out just who was the Mastermind there, who was behind their own army of Predators. That was what they called themselves....
Good ... The Guardians
Evil... The Predators
Kill the Leader, gain control .... The Guardian's Leader was just as hidden and well protected as the Predator's evil Master was. Even Luna had not seen nor met the Guardian's Leader.
She had been chosen because of her cunning, her ability to protect herself, even if having to resort to killing, and her stunning looks. It was hoped that she would get deep enough to see, meet, and maybe even seduce the Predator's Master. Then escape and come back to the good, to the Guardians... tell them what she knew...
She had agreed, because the alternative was not so appealing to her. To be chained, jailed, alone, for a duration no shorter than 10 years. Just the thought sent shivers down her spine.
Little did she know that, perhaps, that choice would have been the better of the two she had. She had no idea who she would face... or what she would go thru....
