Selene stood staring at the gate her eyes completely focused
"I have a feeling that there's something that I missed…" She mumbled low.
'What do you mean' Roslyn asked confused at her mothers random comment.
"Ever had that feeling when you walk down somewhere and felt like you have been there before yet you've never seen the place in your life?"
"You mean like de-ja-vu?"
"Sort of" the spoke quietly among each other while a masked figure headed toward them from the large wooden gate
"This way"
Roslyn narrowed her eyes at him as the bars opened Selene could feel her tense up looking at the guard as he led them in though the doors under the archway into a large carved stone court along side the canyon upon the other side was a large fortress carved into the stone hill side. Most the beings Selene and Roslyn saw where hybrids and Evolved Vampyre's along was a couple of Lycans.
They where taken into a large room inside the main door, it was cold inside but the stain glass windows made it look warm lighting the room with many patches of colour.
"My lord will be in soon"
"My lord? Damn Rick you are pathetic why do you kiss Kain's arse?" Roslyn snapped at him, Selene's eyes widened another person she knew.
Rick took off his helmet revealing his black hybrid eyes
"He gave me the immortal gift"
"The little boy from down the road you have grown up into a warrior" Selene smiled keeping as many people she meets on good terms with her as possible.
"Mrs Corvin… it's surprising to see you awake, I'm sure Kain will be shocked to hear of your arrival"
"That is between us, you know Kain gave you a gift, and that's the thing it's a 'gift' gifts you do not pay back with an immortal eternity of service or slavery" Selene had always hated the elders attitude on forcing the 'gift' upon the person them making them a servant it was unfair.
"I choose to do this" He turned and marched out.
"Everyone knows he stays because of Sophia"
Selene turned to Roslyn
"Well if you told me that earlier I would have interrogated him" Selene jokingly went into protective mother mode. Roslyn was surprised Selene was so calm, or seemed to be. Selene had now gone into excitement to see her children grown up other no matter what their attitude was. They stood waiting standing still crossing their arms and sighing with annoyance.
"Bloody cold, he lives in a fridge" Roslyn grumbled.
"So is the person on the other side of the door" Selene said loudly sensing a presence there but the scent was to far to tell who it was, she could also see the shadow of their feet in the small light crack under the door. Instantly the footsteps walked away after being discovered
"You always know people are there why don't you say something right away?"
"Well the trick it to let them think you cant sense them because they usually like the element of surprise on the person they hide from its better to turn it on them or give enough time to out wit them"
"Ah I see"
"It's not great to fill people's heads with crap?"
Selene and Roslyn swirled around, before them in the doorway Kain stood with his eyes fixed on his mother.
"Oh that's ripe coming from you" Roslyn growled at him her gold eyes changing red. Selene only stood still watching him her eyes did not glare but hold a softness seeing her first born son all grown up, he looked like the image carved into the wall only his hair grown.
"Kain I…" Selene stepped forward with a smile
"Don't bother with the 'mum' shit" He growled making her back off. Roslyn felt a stab of strong sympathy for her mother from the hurt look on her face.
"I know why you are here, how you are here and not in your tomb where you belong is what I want to know otherwise you are not welcome"
The harsh words of her son cut her deeply swallowing hard she kept her emotions at bay. Foot steps came from behind him in the hall Selene looked over his shoulder desperately to see if it was Sophia, Kain saw this immediately and used it to attack her again
"Don't bother looking for Sophia she doesn't want to see you" cold harsh words flew at her like a blizzard
"What has made you like this?"
"Who do you think? There is only one person to blame for all the chaos, for letting those fiends onto the land the only one who brought the human's world into ruins after killing their kind disrupting the balance and bringing the prophecy into the world to finish destroying it" Kain then looked to Roslyn narrowing her eyes. Kain's remark against Selene and accusation toward Roslyn make Selene's temper change
"How dare you" Selene snapped
"How dare I? You haven't been here the last forty years don't you 'how dare you' me!"
"Well it's not like you have done anything to help anyone you have the power and wealth to help yet you cower up here hiding in the hills, while they deal with the Voradors everyday and their people die just trying to live" Selene growled back at him her eyes becoming red.
"Well I know whose fault that is"
"It's not her fault" Roslyn stepped in
"Keep you of it you weren't even born when this started" Kain tried to put her in her place.
"Neither where you" Selene hissed. Kain snapped a cold glance at her no this was all because of you if you hadn't attacked the human groups this wouldn't have happened.
"Don't you lecture me on things you know nothing about!" Selene straitened up and took a step closer to him
"The human resistance was around long before I was born"
"You still summoned Vorador"
"Summoned? Like some sort of little creature? They where a race thousands of years ago killed out by the Vampyre's that is why they are bitter not because of what I did"
"Liar"
"Liar? If I happen to recall it was you who woke up Michael after I told you to not to go to the Burwood fields and what was Michael resurrected with?"
Kain's face became blank he had nothing to say back he had just had his theory taken from him like pulling the mat out from under his feet. Selene did not like yelling at Kain the way she did but he seemed so stubborn and naïve just like herself, she hoped not all of her children had inherited it.
"… You can't blame this on me"
"Can't you eat your own medicine! Not nice when you're on the other end is it! You can't blame her for everything" Roslyn decided it was her turn to lay into him verbally.
"Roslyn" Selene spoke softly
"You've become a hollow cold shell who blames all your problems on everyone else, you're a useless leader, brother, son and person and not to mention a useless father" Roslyn suddenly stopped realizing she had spurted the one thing she had asked her mother not to mention.
"Roslyn it's time to go" Selene couldn't stand being there anymore it was hurting to much, this man was not the son she once knew.
"No I want to know why you killed dad!" Roslyn was now screaming with tears beginning to roll down her cheeks.
"Marcus and I never got on, he never did anything for me! All he did was tell me what to do and expect too higher expectations, I hate him!" Kain screamed till he was red in the face and the veins on the side of his neck and forehead where clearly showing.
"Not ever done anything for you?" Selene asked rising her head
"Never"
"When you where a few months old you where kidnapped by Amos, Cyrus's sister she tried to kill you by throwing you off the old tarot on the north end of the castle, you would have landed on a rusty jiggered piece of drain pipe impaling you killing you instantly but you didn't because Marcus threw himself out the window and caught you almost killing himself impaling himself on the pipe. If it wasn't for Marcus you'd be dead" Selene's words where low calm and had the cold icy ring sending the room into silence.
Once again Kain was stumped
"Father? What crap have you been feeding her?" Kain looked back at Selene trying to find something to fight back with.
"I haven't fed her any lies you in your own arrogance hasn't even noticed you have a son, Lilly is to scared to tell you"
Kain frowned gritting his teeth
"You really are pathetic and cruel, what kind of a mother would make up such a lie to twist my mind so that I always obey you? And join your little side? You really are a twisted fuck" His temper was boiling over, in a way he was loosing the verbal fight.
Selene's face fell she felt like he had just stabbed her in the heart with a frozen sword why would he say such a thing
"You can't say that, she's our mother" Roslyn stepped closer to Selene.
"I have had enough" Kain stood up strait and arrogantly
"First of all I did not kill Marcus he fell, second of all I have no son it's a lie you plotted, Lilly was and never has been pregnant she betrayed me and went her own way, and last but most of all she is not my mother" Kain swung around and marched out while many other guards rushed into surround them weapons ready.
Kain stopped in the doorway not even bothering to look back
"Don't come back you are not welcome here they will attack you on sight" He marched away fists clenched by his side.
"Lets go" Selene was the only one to speak then was quickly escorted out to the gate.
From the tower top watching the two winged beings march along the court yard escorted Sophia looked down. She wanted to yell she wanted to jump down but Rick stood watching her.
"Kain said Selene didn't want to see you" Rick reminded her gently.
"Doesn't mean I can't see her, I want to see her she is my mother" Sophia was fed up with waiting tiered of being locked in the tower for what Michael said was 'safety'. She swung around to kick the door off to face Kain standing at the open door
"Believe me Sophia it's not worth the pain, she isn't our mother anymore" Kain said gently managing to make his eyes water for the lies
"But I want to see her" Sophia was clearly upset.
"She was bitter… she blamed me for the Voradors because I woke Michael, it wasn't my fault" Kain pretended to be hurt giving her a hug she gave in and hugged him still upset. Kain pulled back and put his hands on her shoulders
"We have each other little sis, we are family, blood and we will live on though these times. Now cheer up Rick wants to take you to dinner remember let him and have a good time" Kain smiled then turned around silently marching out. Sophia only remained still watching him leave she could feel Rick watching her
"Let me help you" Rick insisted politely offering to escort her downstairs gently taking her upper arm
"Get your hands off me" She growled snapping her arms away and marched herself down the tower with a persistent Rick following.
Sorry to Synch14 & dArK-dAeMoIs-DeA I was in a hurry posting the last chapter I forgot to push save changes button before posting the review deleting my responce.
Synch14: For the lastreview I only mentioned Lucian does come into it eventually he has done the same thing as Saxon. In the book it doesn't mention who's father is who's or how far Marcus's bloodline goes to the original Corvinus, it did say in the book Lucian's parents and bloodline are wild scavengers thats what made him unique leader, he also bet a Lycan 3 times his size to become the pack leader by out witting him.
dArK-dAeMoIs-DeA: (As for last chap) No reason why Viktor hasn't been awake Selene will eventually say why. Selene has alot to teach Roslyn yet, there are still more truths to be uncovered yet.Kain is very gulity of something, Selene kiss ass? or did you mean kick ass? Selene's trying to find out as much as she can before taking action. Yeah I have a tropical aquerium or mollies, plattys and sharkbarbs, I didn't name them all, but I did name the long black molly who is a cross bread Pongo because he's quite a uniqe fish. There is 28 little terrors tryign to eat everthing they come across. My home is bit of a zoo, 40 tropical fish (breed them) 23 pond fantails,1 dog,1 cat, 2 bantams and a snail called Gary.
Glil: Thankyou :). Hmm I have to say no they are not with Saxon thats allI cansay.
Starlit Rogue: Hehehe yeah sort of cliffhanger sort of not. Sorry about the wait.
Christian Jonsson: Don't worry someone gets really shitty in the next chapter and someone else dies because of it.
Chou-hime: Thankyou. Hehe your still more talanted then me I cant learn other languages to save myself! Hows this for embarassing, I got 4 out of 174 right on my Japaness test (it was conpulsory) and that was because I guessed at the mulitchoice questions!
