Marisol

Marisol closed her eyes. But the shot never came.
"Goodnight bitch," a harsh voice said before the sound of metal piercing through flesh was heard. Mari opened her eyes as the Lesser fell to the side, the large scarred Brother standing over her. He extended his hand.

For a few moments all Mari could do was stare. He was powerful. He was enormous.
He was... magnificent. Like an avenging angel from human lore.
As the thoughts crossed her mind she shoved them away. The Brothers were not magnificent, they were terrifying. Stories of their ruthlessness abounded amongst the race. They were not heroes, they were warriors. A necessary evil for the protection of the race.

But he was offering to help her up. The gesture was unexpected but she wasn't about to scoff at his offer. Unlike the glymera, civilian vampires such as herself did not feel that others were beneath their aristocratic bloodlines.
She took his hand, noticing how her own was shaking. She was dirty, her clothes rumpled, black blood on her mouth still. She wiped it away with her other hand that was equally shaking. "That stuff tastes like shit," she said, the light swear as bad as her language got.

Terrifying as he was, his golden eyes caught and held her attention. She realized she was staring but couldn't help it. She never thought she would even see a Brother, let alone make contact with one.
Swallowing hard past her suddenly dry throat, she managed to stammer out, "Th-thank you."
A random thought in the back of her mind wondered if they ever got thanked for what they did.

The one Lesser left alive from the encounter disappeared into the night. Marisol finally broke the contact to search for her bag. She gathered the papers that had scattered, files of her clients, and a few other odds and ends along with the pieces of her destroyed cellphone. It was when she searched for her wallet that she gasped in alarm.
"My wallet! It's gone!" she exclaimed. All of her information was in there. Her address, her driver's license, her bank card, her office ID...
Had the Lesser taken it?

Rhage

The scent of a female had the Beast's head turning. Female... and the scent of fear... a scared female... and the sweet scent of Lessers...
With another bellowing roar the Beast took off in the direction of the female. He followed her scent and the scent of the Lessers, both getting closer.
He came upon the Lessers first but he could sense the female hiding nearby. They would find her soon.
Anger boiled inside as he attacked the enemies viscously. The Lessers never stood a chance. With screams of terror they were torn apart within minutes. The Beast kept attacking and ripping and biting until there were only black smears and torn bits of clothing where the Lessers had once stood. Black blood coated his fangs and mouth, dripping down his chest.

The Beast threw his head back and roared his victory. Then he began to scent the area, searching for the female he had sensed. Once he found her he snarled but didn't approach her. He stared hard at her, baring his teeth. Once the Beast was certain the female was unharmed a bright light engulfed the Beast and the area around him. Once it faded Rhage lay on the ground, completely naked and body contorted in pain. He was out cold and gasping for breath, his energy spent.

Marisol

Out of nowhere another Brother appeared, but this one... this one was different.
His face... his face was scarred... he had the tattoos of a blood slave on his wrists and neck. Who could have made a Brother a blood slave? Blood slaves had finally been banned nearly a hundred years before so this was not recent. He was just as big and strong as the first Brother but there was a quality about him that made him terrifying. She felt afraid of this Brother.

She was brought from her musings by a hand in her hair. The Lesser she had bitten had hoisted her up by her hair and snarled into her face. "Damn leech!" he snapped at her before slamming her back against a wall, knocking the wind from her. He took her phone from her hand. The dispatch woman was still yelling at Marisol, trying to get a location from her to send patrol cars. The Lesser crunched the phone into his fist, dropping the broken pieces before dragging her by her hair along the ground. Mari's hands went to the top of her head, as though she could stop the pain somehow by clutching her head. She screamed again, kicking wildly.

The Lesser picked up the gun he had dropped and pointed it to her forehead. "Say goodnight bitch."

Rhage

Rhage drove up and parked along the street. There were sounds of a scuffle going on. He swore harshly. They were too far into the city for him to let the Beast out. He would have to be careful and keep his emotions under control-

His attention snapped as a scent in the air made the male in him snarl. A female.
A female close to transition.
Shit. There went controlling himself.
The thought of a female in such a state being attacked by Lessers had his eyes turned white. A sign the Beast was fighting to get out. Rhage closed his eyes, his fists clenched so tightly on the steering wheel the thing made noise in protest and his knuckles were white. He could not lose it here. He could NOT lose it here. His mind told him to get the hell away, but his instincts to protect a female were going into overdrive.

So he did the only thing he could. Trusting his Brothers to take care of things, Rhage dematerialized to the open country out near the Brotherhood mansion. There, in the forest, he let loose.
The Beast broke free in a blast of blinding white light. The creature, looking like a mixture of a tiger and a dragon, roared loudly to the sky and started to run, searching for anything to tear apart. Unfortunately some mountain lions were unlucky enough to be found in his path. They didn't last more than a breath as he ripped them to shreds like paper.

@XxLyraxX not sure. It was never mentioned in the books. But I don't see why not.

Rhage

The music was pumping like a heartbeat outside the club. A large figure in black leaned against the wall. When you wanted to find out info or hear gossip, the human hotspot of alcohol and depravity was the place to go. Rhage wasn't going to pretend that he didn't appreciate the pieces of cloth that passed for clothing on the decent looking women. He didn't have to taste their blood to know that they were filled with disease. Just because vampires could not catch human diseases did not mean he wanted to taste the foul stuff in their blood.
And there were more then a few human women, and a man or two, eyeing the impressive figure. Rhage had the air of a predator that called to the baser instincts of humans, either desire or fear.

His stomach rumbled and his mind started thinking about a large pizza or four. And if the guys wanted any they could get their own damn pizza.
He pulled out his phone to call Noah, the Doggen of the Brotherhood mansion, to make the old man happy by asking him to cook him up some pizza, when his phone buzzed with a call from Vischous. Rhage swore. How come that bastard always found the action first?

Waving a woman he was certain was a prostitute away and ignoring her downcast expression, Rhage got into the Escalade and drove towards his Brother's GPS location, a huge grin on his face. Time for some fun...

Marisol

She cursed inwardly the moment the scream left her lips. The call to the police had been to scare off the Lessers, not actually draw attention. Her bag fell as the Lesser reached for her through the haze of pepper spray, snarling at her in anger. The smell was horrendous.

Then things went from bad to worse. A human female joined in the fray. What the hell? This was all they needed. A human getting involved and getting herself killed or worse.
"Get out of here!" she called to the female as a sudden dangerous presence made her head turn towards the end of the alley where a car had just driven up. A large male clad in black came forward, rescuing the human female and attacking the Lessers.
Mari's eyes were wide in shock. It was one of them! One of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. She had never actually seen one before!

A cold hand grabbed at her neck and she instinctively bit down. Hard.
Black blood surged into her mouth and she gagged from the sludge-like taste. Going to her knees, she spat the nasty blood onto the ground. Her bag flew open, the contents scattering.

The civilian male had run away the moment the Brother had shown up and the Lessers had turned to attack the Brother, the object of their search.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood

@DeadlyPhoenix you can call them if you want. Since there are only three Brothers right now they would most likely patrol different sections of the city.

@KatherinWinter

I was thinking either Caldwell or NYC
