Chapter 3: Marlowe's point of view

Damn it, that dhampir needed to stay out of my way.

Besides, I could smell the sex on her which only met one thing. Jack.

She said there was good in him, that you just needed to get to know him so his true side would show.

I thought that was all just a load of shit.

That man, well really a boy compared to me, was only liked by Selene the disgusting dhampir and she was an abomination among vampires.

She needed to be hunted and killed but the consul is using her for missions that she needs finishing.

Who does she thinks she is talking to me as if I were a lower class than her, when it is she who is of a lower class of I. I'm Kit Marlowe damn it.

I'm pretty much second in command here at magic and I damn well like it. So who was she to knock me to the floor like a bitch?

I sighed. Calm down Kit she's just trying to get to you.

Besides she was supposedly going on some mission that was hopefully far away from me.

As I cooled down I walked towards the rooms that belongs to me, and was met at the door by none other then Mircea Basarab who was currently in a relationship with the pythia, Cassandra.

"Marlowe, I have been awaiting your arrival. Where have you been with such an angry face like that?" Mircea asked.

"Well just having fun with a little dhampir," I said annoyed.

"Nothing too serious I hope," Said Mircea with a rise of his brow. "And hopefully not my daughter,"

"No, it was just Selene and isn't your daughter with Louis-Cesare now?" I asked just to be sure.

"Yes I am aware that they are a couple now," He answered quite bored. "And please leave Selene alone. You know she's friends with Dorina and if anything happened to Selene, I would never hear the end of it from Dorina," He stated in an amused tone as if he knew something I didn't.

"Fine, is there something you needed?" I asked angrily.

"Yes, as a matter of fact the consul personally sent me here for me to tell you that you will be working on a mission with Selene," He said smiling.

"What why me, what does this have to do with us working together, I thought she was escorting Anthony," I said outraged.

"You will be working with her to find out who is out to get Anthony, and you two will work together. I don't care if you don't talk to each other just get the job don," And with that he walked off.

No, this would not be good.

What is she going to think about…..Oh hell when I tell her I cant wait to see her response.

If she hates me as much as I hate her, this is going to be hell.

But hell, an order is an order, and this just happened to be an order directly from the consul, which meant I had to go through with it. I sighed, well damn.

I headed off to go tell Selene, which I already knew wasn't going to be pleasant.
