Thank you all that has reviewed my story. My dear friend Jackie as started
a story on Faustus. And she asked I update this story.and in honor of her
new story I will cont. to update this and all my stories.
Marcus came to the village outside the Seer's home, which was still further ahead on the dark path. As he climbed out his carriage his golden eyes flickered around at the nearly abandoned village in interest.
"It's too quiet." He glanced at the coachman. "Send a message to Sebastian to send some people to check out this area. I'm not able to at this present time."
The coachman looked at his Master and nodded quickly before driving the carriage off to return the message to Master Sebastian. The coachman was not looking forward to coming face to face with Sebastian. Stories of the vampire's habit of 'playing' with his food were not pleasant. The coachman certainly didn't want his body parts scattered across the ground.
Marcus watched as the carriage rode out of site before he turned back to the village around him. He gave the village a glance over once more before he leaped onto the rooftop of a near building as a Sarafan guard made his way slowly through. He had no need to fear them, they were on the same side after all, but they would waste his valuable time in finding the Seer with their useless questioning. Marcus liked things done instantly and these guards took forever just to get a simple thing done. So needless to say, Marcus tried to avoid using them for any of his messaging and just ignored them completely.
Marcus looked up once again, the gold of his eyes glowing in the dark as he quickly made his way across the various buildings and homes silently, every now and then pausing to listen to a sound. He may rush into things sometimes without thinking but he wasn't stupid. In fact he was one of the smartest of the Sarafan Lord's generals. Marcus put a hand to his head. "If only I could stop opening my big mouth sometimes." He then chuckled and cont. along the path he was traveling. He only stopped once more when he heard two Sarafan talking below him, as he was about to jump off the last building.
"Did you hear?" The taller Sarafan looked around before looked at the other, who was leaning against the wall bored.
"Hear what Cronet?"
The taller one smiled through his helmet. "I hear that that Seer has been killed. A group tracked down this light haired vampire and came upon her house." He paused to take a laugh." They burnt it to the ground!"
Both guards laughed as if it was the funniest thing in the world. Marcus on the other hand didn't find this funny at all, in fact it terrified him so much that he could have sworn that he already extremely slow heartbeat stopped completely.
He burst from the shadows and he was a blur jumping from shadow to shadow as he made his way to the Seer's house. He came to a dead stop as he saw where once stood the Seer's home. Embers still glowed where the house once stood as he walked forward, as he looked around, his golden eyes wide with shock and disbelieve. He became still as he sniffed the air around him. He smelled for a moment longer before he growled, his powerful fangs glistening in the moonlight before he tilted his head back and let out a roar.
"KAIN!"
Marcus was still growling as he sat back against a large boulder. Kain had known. Kain had known he was going to come to seek the service of the Seer. And Kain had led those Sarafan here in his wake to burn the house down, along with the Seer. The Seer was the only one he knew that could have helped Demona.
He started as he thought back to Demona. He still remembered her pale face looking up at him, he was sure she could still hear him when he told her that he was going to seek out the Seer to help her. It might have been the light but he could have sworn he saw hope and understanding in her blank eyes just for a flicker of a moment before it disappeared completely. Marcus buried his face in his hands. He never felt so helpless before. What could he do now? There was no one else he knew off that would be able to help Demona. There was no way in hell he was going to bring her to the Sarafan Lord. The Sarafan Lord would kill her instantly, saying that she was a distraction to Marcus. She was in a way, Marcus thought, but he loved her and he wasn't about to lose her.
Marcus stood a moment later, giving the ashes one last look before turning and walking back towards the village. Kain had caused Demona to end up like this, Kain had taunted him with it, and now Kain had caused the one person that would have been able to help Demona to be killed. Marcus shook with his rage toward his former commander. "When I get my hands on you Kain, you will pay for ever hurting Demona. I promise you that."
"Is that so Marcus? Who is this Demona?" a heavy accented voice said from behind him.
Marcus whirled around, he was so deep in his thoughts he didn't even hear anyone come up behind him. And Marcus knew exactly how dangerous letting down your guard, just for a moment could be.
"Sebastian! What are you doing here?"
The taller vampire let out a laugh, his cape fluttering behind him in the wind.
"You sent for me Marcus. Don't you remember?"
Marcus then remembered his messenger. "Oh yes, I forgot about him for a moment. I didn't expect you to come this quickly to check out this area."
Sebastian chuckled once again. "I had my eye on this place for a while now. I just needed a reason to get away from my work to come check it out myself and that's to you, I had my reason."
Marcus nodded his head silently before he looked Sebastian over. "You didn't kill that messenger too did you?" When Sebastian didn't answer Marcus gave a sigh. "That's the second one this month Sebastian."
Sebastian just shrugged and threw it off before he glanced back at Marcus. "Now about my earlier question. Who is this Demona?"
Marcus froze momentarily as he flicked his eyes to Sebastian out the corner of his eye. "Just a new servant of mine."
Sebastian snorted slightly. "A servant eh? I certainly doubt that. Your not that protective of your servants, or even your past lovers, so I know that no lowly servant would have your protection so stop lying to me Marcus and tell me the truth about this Demona person. Or I might just have to go report to our Lord."
Marcus snapped his fangs at Sebastian in frustration, Sebastian backed up quickly as he chuckled. "Well Marcus, I'm waiting."
Marcus jerked his head to stare in front of him." They are someone very important to me. And that's all I'm going to tell you."
Sebastian looked thoughtful. "Very well..but be careful Marcus. Having someone close helps your enemy's gain a weakness on you."
Marcus nodded, he knew that lesson very well at the present time.
Sebastian looked at him again. "Something has happened to her hasn't it?"
"How did you know it was a her?"
Sebastian looked at Marcus like his was a nutcase. "I would hope you weren't that protective over a guy and besides Demona is a woman's name, no matter how demonic the name is."
Marcus growled and grabbed Sebastian by his collar. "Her name is not demonic. She is the most beautiful person I have ever seen, and if I hear one word about her name or her from you again. I'll kill you with my bear hands!"
Sebastian's eyes widened with surprise as the younger vampire had him hanging off his feet in the air. Sebastian nodded slowly as Marcus let his feet touch the ground again.
"Well I know now what not to say around you." He chuckled slightly,but a lot of the humor was gone from the light laugh. "Very well then, I will not mention her around you or to anyone else."
Marcus nodded slightly in acceptance.
Sebastian looked him over once again." Well I must go scout this land and get back to the Quarters. I also have a message from one of your other servants. They said to hurry home...Demona has taken a turn to the worse." Sebastian then quickly raced off.
Marcus's eyes widened before he raced into town and stole a horse and quickly raced back to his mansion.
He could only hope he wasn't too late.
Thanks for all that reviewed me story! Please review this! Thanks! :P
