"There is no way you can bring the humans and immortals together, there is a human group who wants us dead" Lucian said shocked at her suggestion.

"I've been there and visited them. I have proven trustworthy and helped them, I'm sure I can convince them to join" Selene said adamant her plan would work.

"I just don't see how that would help" Lucian added.

"Immortals can protect the humans better then the humans can themselves. The Voradors will hesitate when they know immortals are there with the humans. We have to keep them alive, we protect them they can produce arms for us. We know they are clever within inventing it won't take them long"

"Lucian's right, it will be harder then it sounds. Besides we have to get the base to go to the city and they will not be very willing" Marcus stepped in.

"It's the best chance both our kinds have. We will die off of become hosts if we don't come together and create a stronger force" Selene was certain she could convince the humans.

"I think she is right. Until we find a way to defeat them both of us need to stay alive and ourselves. It's been done before years ago they took them out so it has to be recorded" Saxon said thinking hard on the situation

"Yes it is. I one very shriveled dried up brain of the sleeping Viktor" Marcus said not really wanting to wake him up.

"It was Hector actually. He knew since he was the one who killed out the Voradors"

"Hector? Who the hell is Hector?" Lucian asked frowning

"Viktor's father" Marcus snarled at the name then looked at Selene

"I haven't heard that name in thousands of years… how do you know about Hector?"

"Strangely after all these years I've finally been having some of Viktor's memories… Maybe it wasn't a coincidence at all maybe I was seeing it all for a reason. I know Merrick forged the sword and the battle… Yes that it!" Selene's face lit up remembering a part of her vision. Everyone watched her in anticipation

"Not Hector, Viktor himself! He killed Orlian originally"

"So" Lucian did not understand

"No you don't understand Viktor was immune to the blood, Orlian couldn't inhabit Viktor or burn him"

"So you're saying Viktor is part Vorador?" Sophia along with everyone else was slightly confused.

"No, no, no! Okay the vision I had was the big battle of Burwood Viktor got into the keep but then my vision failed then it came later after killing Orlian… he ran from the fortress after smashing the last of its foundations"

"He destroyed the fortress?" Marcus was shocked

"Well no. But he did bring the rest of it down, but that's not the point. When Viktor went into the fortress he was venerable to the blood but on the way out he became different. Somewhere in-between going in and killing Orlian Viktor figured it out or stumbled onto something that made him immune." Selene explained.

"Guess it's time to wake him up" Sophia said looking forward to seeing her grandfather. Marcus and Lucian didn't look that keen on it

"I don't know how I could have forgotten it. Either way the secret to defeating them is in that fortress" Selene looked to Roslyn

"So my idea wasn't so bad?"

"No it wasn't. I'm still not happy about it though" Marcus voiced his opinion quietly.

"Alright it's settled then. First things first we wake Viktor tomorrow" Saxon said then giving a yawn.

Fully healed after a night's sleep Kain had finally left the keep after a long time to see the world he had left behind. Trotting along the path toward the lake he kept aware of any unusual sounds. This would include birds singing or any farm animals grazing, the only sound now was the cold wind moving through the solemn trees. Life was not life anymore this was what Selene was trying to say. The family dispute was nothing the real problem was the dieing world he had turned a blind eye to.

He did know there was no sun there had not been sun in years it seemed to be a winter could cover everyday.

Following Michael's instructions and passed on message from Selene about Elaine Kain rode over to the old half burnt house

"Hello?" Kain called knowing he was being watched.

There was no reply.

"Look I know this is the base I just want to talk to Elaine" He lifted his hands to show he was unarmed. Harmony was the only one to immerge from the building well armed.

"What the hell do you want?"

"I'm here to ask Elaine a question"

"If you want her to help you with Quin you can get stuffed! You made a big mistake coming here on your own" She snarled angrily

"Harmony I just want to ask her a question that's all"

"No. You don't disserve it! Don't think I have forgotten what happened at the keep! You almost killed us!"

"That was a misunderstanding" He stayed calm

"Some misunderstanding" She sarcastically snared.

"Look I'll tell Tom all I said was wrong and bring him back, just let me talk to Elaine"

"Why should I trust you? You're a liar!"

Kain slowly grabbed the crest Viktor had given him and lifted it

"You know I value this" He threw it to her.

"When I bring back Tom you will give it back"

Harmony nodded her head agreeing with the deal placing it into her pocket.

"But if you say or do anything to Elaine I will shoot out your eyes and cut off your ears so you have to sniff your way home" Harmony warned him

"Wait here" She then grumbled heading back into the base.

Kain waited patiently staring at the old burnt house tapping his fingers on the leather saddle making a rhythmic noise. He could feel his stubborn side trying to win back by making him think why was he there but he had to know, it was more curiosity then anything else. A very nervous Elaine slowly walked out he could sense her fear as she didn't want to come any closer

"I have no quarrel with you, don't fear me Elaine" Kain knew he had turned the base against himself but he had had no idea some of them feared him. It had to be because he was the first born hybrid he thought.

"What do you want?" She asked rubbing her hands together from the cold.

"My mother told me to ask you about Marcus" Kain told her but she seemed confused.

"… Marcus? I haven't seen him"

"No this is something I'm guessing that's in your memory, something about to do with Marcus helping me or something maybe when I was too young to remember" Kain guessed since that was the only thing he could think of.

Elaine frowned a bit thinking hard a little puzzled Selene told him to go to her of all immortals.

"Um… well she showed me a memory with Marcus through his shoulder but I don't know what that has to do with anything" Kain tried to refresh her memory. Her face changed into a semi smile remembering

"Ahh yes I remember, that was the same night Amos tried to kill me. I don't think I have ever seen your mother as angry as I saw her that night"

"Angry?... what did Marcus or Amos do?" Kain was interested already.

"I was your nanny, it was on the night of Erika and Duncan's wedding I went to put you down for the night when Amos jumped me and took you. She tried to strangle me to death but Marcus intervened. I managed to spray her in the eyes with pepper spray" Elaine said proudly about her brave move.

"Marcus tried to grab you but Amos still managed to get away with you. Marcus followed her to the tower where she climbed onto the roof took your blood and held you up over the edge to drop you"

"So Marcus talked her out of it?"

"Hell no she dropped you alright, that woman was a real cold bitch. And of all things there was a sharp rusty pipe at the foot of the tower"

Kain could clearly see where this was going

"So Marcus jumped out the castle and caught me landing on the pipe saving my life"

"You got it… although Kraven got the credit. No body but your mother and I know it was really Marcus. Kraven took you off Marcus so he could get up and by the time your mother got there she saw Kraven with you as did everyone else he was hailed the hero. Poor Marcus was then accused of letting Amos out when that was not the case at all"

"She wanted me to know Marcus saved my life" Kain said aloud to no one in particular.

"The pipe missed Marcus's heart by barely half an inch. It almost killed him. Though it was clear Marcus was in love with Selene then, he did everything in his power to look after you and your mother. He cared for you as if you where his own son, and now from years of seeing immortal couples with young that was rare"

"I know" Kain snapped a little, he had already had many lectures and did not need her to give him one.

"I can bet Amos died a horrific death as soon as Selene got her hands on her"

"I could imagine. Though you don't have to do anything to my mother or our family for her to deal you a horrific death, you just have to get in her path" Kain said seriously in a flat tone. Elaine froze becoming nervous again remembering the situation she was in.

Kain suddenly smiled

"Kidding"

She gave a fake laugh and smiled a little relieved but really wanted to go now.

"Tell them all I am not an enemy this base anymore. I have finally been made aware of the poor state of the world and what it has become. Thank you for your time" Kain turned the horse and gave a wave heading back he was surprised she gave a wave in return before he disappeared into the trees.


Chou-hime: Thanks. Well the last chapter was suposed to be posted well before new years but teh fanfiction crew had disabled the story posting part to do matinence which was fustrationg but for once they actully did a resonable job at fixing things instead of creating new problems like theyusually do.Happy new year to you too :)

Synch14: Now thats cool interesting information! where did you hear/read that?

Glil: It would have been posted earlier but you can thank fanfic for that problem they disabled the site for days. Happy new year to you too, I'm happily saying goodbye to 2005, probably will be a horifficyear scared into my mind for the rest of my life.

Christian Jonsson: He's not completely a golden boy and wont be, he's just not against his family anymore. Part of him will always be cruel or sinister just now at Voradors or intolerant humans. Oh and he may have settle score with his mother but he aint going to forgive Saxon for what he did anytime soon :)

dArK-dAeMoIs-DeA: Yes I am :) the wedding will be in about a year and a half. Blame fanfic for me being unable to post they disabled the system. It was called human extinction cause they came to realize if they didn't help the humans they would become extinct so the chapter was named after their theory. Thankyou :)

The Bricadian Poetrist: lol with the state of my house after the new year you would ahve to send a search party just to find the search party. Thankyou :)

Jondy13: Thats ok. Surgery bloody hurts when you've become immune to pain killers. Thankyou :). I cant wait for it either in the cinema already they have big images of Selene and these light things that make her blue eyes glow its pretty cool. Its huge though so I cant steal it lol.
