Marina cursed as she threw the magazine across the room. Silver hadn't come since that night and she had no idea where to find him. She looked out the window the sun setting with an unusual slowness. She grabbed her keys and opened her door practically ripping it from its hinges. If he wouldn't come back she would find him, and she knew just where to start looking.
She stormed into Las Noches, her blades secured safely in reach if the need be. She sensed many humans noticing only a few vampiric auras. Two were strong, one much stronger than the other, it slowly began to choke her. She looked up at Siete staring at her with Jager next to him. The other aura was that of the blodd bonded bartender. She pulled herself to her full hieght and tooh calm steps toward him. Despite her attempts she still couldn't seem to hide her anger.
He smirked obviously noticing.
"Where is he?" she asked before even a hello.
Siete chuckled "Ran away did he? You must have done something, he is not the type that runs."
Suddenly a thought struck her "But you are his creator and changed him yourself and already know why he ran."
He nodded. "I do but I can not tell no matter how much I would like to. I am sorry, please understand."
She turned to Jager who looked at her with a frown. She sneered at him "And what do you have to say for yourself? Blood bonding my mother you leech! It could have killed her but you didn't care did you?"
He said nothing obviously a loss for words when a bolt of energy stung her back and another, weak, vampire aura was sensed. She turned a new fury she had never witnessed in hershowing.
The vampiress was weak but she could sense Jagers blood. A vengence rose and she thought to herself 'My mother's life risked, his fledging's will be.'
She pulled out two blades and gave a single shot at the vampiress sending her flying back into the bar. The wampire screeched her diapproval and Marina licked her lips sending her another shock that mad her stumble to the side. She moved quickly and threw a punch into the vampires face using the blade to slit across the vampires cheek making sure no blood was drawn but a pink mark made. Marina felt Jager's aura attack her and she fell onto her back expecting another and bracing herself.
Instead the aura of Silver entered the room and hit Jager so hard he hit into the mirrored wall shards falling making small slices. He grabbed Marina's hand hoisting her up to her feet.
"What were you thinking?" he ordered checking her for any wounds.
He pulled the blades from her hands putting the in their proper scabbards. She just looked at him unable to stop the rising fury in her. When he stopped inspecting her she slapped him square across the face. His eyes were wide and filled with shock.
Her eyes filled suddenly with tears. "How could you!" she screeched.
He looked down at her suddenly calm even though the redness across his cheek. "She asked and I gave it to her it is as simple as that."
"No it isn't!" she she looked up at him letting him feel the pain he was putting her through. "My whole life I thought my mother was dead and I didn't have family! And just when I thought I was finally getting a slightly normal family with Caryn I learn I'm this witch with powers that no witch has ever possessed and I have to get trained, by that bitch Dominique Vida no less, to kill vampires instead of living in peace with them. And then when I think it can't possibly get any worse I meet up with Jager and what a dandy friendship we have I almost killed his little creation" she gestured to the vampiress in the corner with Jager listening intently her hatered filling her aura.
"And then" she continued softly though her voice held a deadly edge "Just when I accepted the worse and think 'now' it can't get any worse" she took a step toward him "I meet you and hey guess what I'm in love only to find out that you knew about me even before I was born- friends with my mom-" tears ran heavier down her face "and you changed her into a vampire."
She saw the pain in his eyes and when he opened his arms she wrapped her arms around him hiding her face in his throat.
Her tears burned his throat not in a physical way but it hurt him. He stroked her hair closing his eyes. He opened them when he realized many of his line came to watch this show. His gaze snapped to Siete who was drinking from his bottle a look of laughter in his eyes. He looked back down when he found her staring up at him.
'What?' he thought to continue this conversation privately.
'Do you love me?' she asked.
He saw the fear in her eyes and wanted everything to just keep her safe from everything to tear away her past-to make her a vampire so she could live forever with him.
His grip tightened and his lips brushed hers. She held her hand up to stroke the little pink mark that was healing with an extreme slowness on his cheek which cooled it until the pain went away. He realized she was healing it and his lips didn't brush but took hers slowly coaxing her.
She laughed her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Not scared to show your line your in love with a witch?"
"Why? It's not like they can do anything about it- they are all weak physically compared to me and I find that only Siete can take control of my mind on an off day."
"Ah, yes, my big strong Silver that will protect me as long as he lives and kill anyone who gets in my way of being successful" she rand a finger along his collar bone.
"And gives his extraordinary witch expensive and very old wine from a dead collection" he ran his hand through her hair and she laughed.
"Want to go and enjoy it?" she asked them both suddenly going still.
A look passed between them and they disappeared. She laughed as he swung her up into his arms planting a kiss on her and pulling out a bottle of wine from a rack in his kitchen. They both stopped in their tracks as an aura washed over them. Her arms around Silver's neck she looked toward where the aura came from. A slightly older version of her was standing before them.
"Mom" Marina whispered the words before she could hold them back a tear gliding down her cheek.
Celeste Light smiled at her and laughed "Dear goddess Silver wasn't kidding when he said you look just like me."
Marina looked up at Silver who smirked arching his eyebrows "I thought I would bring her here to meet you-finally."
She kissed Silver not even remembering her mother was there for the moment. Celeste cleared her throat impatiently. "Silver if you don't let me talk to my daughter I will make sure you never kiss her again" Celeste warned.
Silver chuckled. "I suppose that is up to her my lady she is in control of her life now is she not?"
Marina let go of Silver reluctantly turning to her mother. She now remembered the aura from the picture was exactly like this. Her mother had given her the picture. "How come you were never there?" she asked finally all the pain returning.
"I'm sorry," her mother smiled wearily to hold her own sadness "How could we have lived? Me a vampire and you a witch? It would have never worked out without one of us being killed! Dominique wouldn't have stood for a witch as powerful as you to live with a vampire that she already hated before even then. She hated that I broke her orders and when she bound my magic-after I had you I asked Silver to change me because I knew all too well that if I wasn't changed Jager would know everything about me."
"Why couldn't you hide me!? It would have been better than too lovable foster parents that were so nice it was sickening- or drunken step fathers that beat you and leave scars!" Marina yelled angry.
So what if Dominique wouldn't have liked it. She never had to know and Celeste knew it but was afraid of Dominique-still after being almost twice as powerful!
"I said I was sorry Marina and the truth is I couldn't take you back because your father would have killed me if I even tried to find you" her mother looked away suddenly alert of something.
Marina felt it to, as did Silver. The blade burst through the window but before Marina could find who flung it or where it landed Silver ducked her out of the way as on flew through another window and hit him in the shoulder. She put her hands over his wound and looked around in a frenzy to see if anyone was there. She sensed the aura of Dominique Vida, another witch... and a human? Marina pulled the knife from Silver's shoulder and he winced in pain.
She healed him as they sat behind the counter away from the the window. She looked to her mother and angry tears burned her eyes. The blade stuck perfectly in her mother's heart, her mother was dead after only a few seconds of knowing her after eighteen years of wanting to know her. Her aura flared and she helped Silver to his feet. They appeared outside in front of the three hunters and Marina's jaw dropped at the human.
"Aiden?" she said it and it hurt so much to see him with a blade in his hand.
"No, Marina. My name is Michael-your father." ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
I'm actually going to finish this story in the next two or three chapters! Hurrah!
