"Probably not. I got Matthew because Alistair knew the woman named his child that. Alistair's last name was Jacobs, but I doubt from what I've heard that the mother passed on his name to her son. And I don't know her last name. But if I had to guess, going off of what Alistair told me, I'd say they're the kinds of vampires who hide out in an abandoned factory and only come out at night, when they take their victims. That was part of what led me here. London and some surrounding areas have been having vampire attacks lately- Those who prefer feeding over peace. We call that kind of Supernaturals Rebels, and while they're rare, they're also dangerous. Alistair's always prioritized killing them, but we hadn't quite gotten here yet. Any Rebels we find will need to be dealt with immediately."

That news didnt surprise her. "A challenge indeed. I'll speak with the protector and see what he may know. He is a grumpy old being and often wants to spar but he may have some useful information."
She looks out the window and smiles softly. "We can find him though. I know we can." She murmurs.

"Of course. It's what we do. You're the Guardian, and I'm the Hunter General- If anyone can do this, we can."

She nods softly at his words. "Yes..very true."

"Okay, let's go over the plan. You said you know who to talk to. I'll visit a couple suspected Rebel dens, see if I can find them or anyone who knows about them."

She nods. "Sounds like a plan. Where shall we meet up at?"

"I booked us a room at a hotel. We'll meet back there. Feel free to see the sights first, though. I should be a while."

She smiles a bit. "I need to get a hold of the protector first before I go sight seeing. He is such a grump at times." She shrugs a bit.

"Who is this protector and how do you know him, anyway? And why would he know about Matthew?"

"The protector has been around as long as I have been. There is a protector for almost every part of the world and then the guardian who over sees all. Most times we barely communicate in person as its never really necessary. He is a old earth spirit that calls this area home. I didn't say he knew Mathew, just that he may have a location for us to find him or know something with the rebel issue going on."

"The Rebels aren't a mystery. This happens. One person rebels, suddenly they're starting a local revolution. There are always a lot in one place."

She arches a brow at him. "No but the knowledge he could have on the location of a specific male vampire with a possible connection to Alistair is worth asking about." She shrugs a little. "And as a guardian it's respectful for me to check in with the protector of the area and see how they are and such."

"Alright, alright. But this is London. A lot of places vampires can hide. I'll need time. And weapons. I'll search the town before I go. Oil and lighters. Wooden stakes. I'll need to innovate on some things, but you understand."

She nods at his words. "At least we have a plan. " she smiles a bit and looks back out the window as the train continued on.

When they got there, Hunter led her to their hotel and checked in, then told her to go forward as planned whenever she was ready, and left on his own to buy hunting materials wherever he could find them.

Once settled at the hotel, she too left.
Finding the protector took longer than she had anticipated as the male had taken to hiding away in the nearby woods and no one had really seen him for a fee years. She knew he was still doing his job because the earth was full of his power.
Upon reaching the forest ,she waited for him to appear. He made her wait several hours.
His presence was easy to sense as he revealed himself. His form he choose was a tall human looking one but he had horns made of branches and nails that were class. His eyes a vibrant green and his skin a softer green.
His voice filling her mind. "What could the guardian seek of me?" There was anger in his voice that surprised her.
As she rose to her feet, it was only to be knocked off them and slammed into a tree. Vines had come from his form, holding her in place. "You are no guardian. You failed in your duties. Your mate should have felt your judgement long ago."
She tenses and stared at him. She didn't fight. Not yet.
He chuckled slightly. "Yes I know all about it. He came to me asking me to be a part of your death." He shakes his head and releases her, leaving bruises along her arms and neck.
"I refused him. It would seem he still got a death before his own. The boy you seek is no boy. He is with the rebels. I know nothing more than that. "
He turns to leave then pauses. "You haven't changed forms since his death. You know what happens if you don't shift. Be careful guardian. Much is at risk." With that he disappeared from sight.
It was safe to say the protector was still a grumpy old man. She heads back to the hotel.

Hunter had a bit more luck, though he had to try several Rebel bases before one told him where to find Matthew.
He headed back to the hotel. "I know where he is. Did you find anything out?"

She looks to Hunter. The bruises still fresh on her skin. She shakes her head. "Just that he is still a grumpy old man." She didn't say more than that because there wasn't anything to say.

Hunter looked at her curiously for a moment. "Did he do that to you? I thought you were on the same side. But anyway, Matthew and his mom chose an interesting hideout. A bit funny, really. They're supposedly staying in Westminster Abbey."

She shrugs. "We are. He is just grumpy but wise." She blinks at the name of the location. "You're kidding me?" Then she shakes her head a little and moves to her feet. "Shall head that way then?"

"Yeah, but there's something else you should know first. They're the original Rebels. They started the London Revolution. That being said.... I'm not sure they're very happy with Alistair's rule, or his royal circle. We're walking into an enemy camp."

She sighs and shakes her head. " of course this isn't gonna be easy." She looks to him. "It may be time we stop hiding that we are here." She thought back to the protector's words about her shifting.

"Why? We go there under a white flag and talk to the boy. He'll be king if the world; he won't complain. But how does revealing ourselves fit into this?"

She looks to him. "You realize that with him becoming king he could destroy everything, his father built. If he is in charge of these rebels then him being king could destroy all of what Alistair built."

He looked pained. "I know. But I have to do this. It was my king's last request, his final order. It has to be carried out. And even if.... Even if we refuse him the throne, what good would it do to reveal ourselves? Why would that help?"

"By revealing we are here. One or two things will happen. The rebels will challenge us or run. If what the protector told me is true then they won't hide. They'll think they have the upper hand." She looks to him. "We may not get near him otherwise."

"I will do what Alistair asked me to. I'll seek him out and talk to him. I don't want to fight him, and I don't want him to run. These were my orders. But I am a Hunter. I promise, I will put the people first. If he's like the Supernaturals of the past, the ones my family hunted, he will die. I am simply giving a good leader who has passed on the benefit of the doubt."

She nods quietly, regarding the man for a moment before she spoke. "Let's get going then."

He headed toward Westminister Abbey, careful to keep his several hunting weapons hidden. "So it looks like you'll be getting the grand tour of one of those famous London sights."

She smiles a bit. "Not exactly how I imagined doing it but I won't complain. "She follows him quietly, keeping alert but looking like she was just out walking.
