Thanks to Octoburn for reviewing. E-hug to you ! And to answer your question I had made a mistake on that, but I have now fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out !
Major thanks to DragonFaere for reviewing again. I was rather confused on the difference between werewolves and Lycans myself, until I got the novelization and found this out. Lycans are the pure born ones, meaning they have at least one Lycan or werewolf parent, whereas werewolves are the ones who are born human and are "turned". And, yes Christian is a half-breed.
Thanks to all who review and if you love the movie I urge you to go pick up the novelization, because it is great! Thanks again!

Light pricked through the gray darkness of his sleep and he sat up rubbing his eyes. He looked around finally realizing that he was still clothed in the previous nights clothing. The book was still in his hand and he stared blankly at the spine of it for a moment, rubbing the sleep from his eyes until he remembered why he had chosen it in the first place. He skimmed the pages, flipping through chapters, until his eyes came to rest upon an etching of an identical pendant, minus the spider. He quickly flipped back a few pages and read the faded text. The book said that the pendant was the mark of the Donnelley clan in Britain. None of them existed today, because each in every single member was slaughtered by vampires or Lycans ( they were never sure ), during a clan meeting.
It looked as though his search was cut off, since the book said they had all died, but then he noticed an asterix next to the end of the sentence and he flipped to the back of the book, where the footnotes were held. The footnote explained that while it was presumed that all of them had died, the body of the chief of the clans daughter, Sasha had never turned up. And, the date was fitting with the date that the Lord Julian had said Elise was turned at.
He now knew she might have been a mage.
His hand instinctively went to the pendant that hung from his own throat. As, his fingers brushed against it, he felt a slight prickling sensation creep all over his skin. His pendant was that of his mothers clan, but his mother had done some magic to it, so it would not hurt him. Mages always cursed the pendants that they gave to their children, so that it would burn any vampire or Lycan who tried to take it. That way, they could not collect them as trophies. They also cursed the designs so they could not be used by rival clans or their enemies to do harm to them. Therefor, the vampiress he had seen, must have been a mage at some time or otherwise the design would burn her skin.
And, if she was a mage, then he was not the only hybrid out there.
It felt strange to know that someone else might be like him. But, he knew he shouldn't jump to conclusions right away. He would ask her if he ever saw her again.

The sun was just creeping over the horizon, bathing Elise's pale face in a gold light. Normally, the beautiful rays would have been like deadly lasers to her, cutting through her skin and burning her up. But, all the glass in the mansion was tinted, so it looked normal, but no sun could come through to harm them.
Everyone else was already asleep, safely tucked into their beds, but she couldn't sleep for some reason. She kept remembering that strange Lycan boy. He had stared at her pendant for so long, she had gotten shivers down her spine, which wasn't usual for her. She was never that intimidated normally.
I hope he didn't recognize the design, she thought, I was already pushing my luck with Lord Julian, by having the design burned into the spider pendant. But, if he knew I would be in so much trouble.
She had already changed her name from Sasha to Elise, to stop anyone from making the connection between her and the Donnelley clan in Britain, who had been slaughtered by rogue vampires. If, anyone knew she was a mix of both vampire and mage, it could mean death for her. Hybrids were strictly not allowed, because of their power and what they might become if they were ever infected with the final strain of the virus. Not one hybrid had actually existed so far, but they were like a horrible urban legend and quite a few innocent vampires and Lycans had been executed under the accusation of being a hybrid.
Elise clutched her pendant so tightly, it almost cut into her palm. Finally, she turned away from the window and curled up on her bed, not asleep, just lying there waiting for the daylight hours to pass.
