Author's Note: Guys I am so sorry this has taken so long, I have buried myself in my room and have been writing and writing, and more writing. Just not posting, but I have been writing tons of new stories as well as working on old ones. I promise a new chapter for Darkness Before The Madness out tonigt as well for those who are still reading it. In the meantime here is a new chapter to the uncut Guardian. Again I apologize for the delay.

He opened his eyes slowly for the first time in a hundred years. Still enclosed in his icy tomb. Suddenly a cloying terror of being shut in seized Markus and in a fury wrenched open the lid and burst out of his burial chamber.

The Elder's senses were so sharp, he smelt and saw things so differently than before and power like no other came over him, filling him with strength. Threatening to overwhelm him, Markus held onto the cold marble wall for support... He was holding his head in his hands. Then when he looked up, in the glass for the tomb entrance, the Elder saw he had midnight blue skin with cord like muscles, and his eyes were solid silver. Opening his mouth he saw two Vampire fangs, but instead of just that Markus noticed all of his teeth had elongated and become razor sharp.. He had become a hybrid…

Trying to let that sink in, a sudden pain ripped across his skull as images and sounds flew by in a dizzying whirl, forcing Markus to sit on the throne to rest. He realized that they were memories, memories from the Lycan laying on the floor, whose blood had awoken him. And memories from another paticular Vampiress were pounding his head also. "Selene…" Markus whispered.

Viktor's lovely daughter, he had caught a few glimpses of her when she first came to Ordoghaz and times after that, at Coven parties on the arm of her dark father, and training with Kahn. But seeing her had been brief and extremely rare, Viktor would not let anyone near his daughter at all.. Still trying to piece together her memories and that Lycans, Singe from what he could gather.. But what puzzled Markus was that Selene's memories were there as well as Singes, the Lycan.

He could not smell any of her blood near. Until he noticed a second coffin, where Viktor should be, it was empty upon inspection. And blood splotches could still be seen in the catalyst drip. Selene had awoken him. That could at least maybe explain why he could see all her memories, but he was still unsure, but from what he saw. Kraven, Viktor's sinister little Regent had some serious explaining to do as did Viktor apparently and Selene as well…

Lord Markus took a step forward, and more images invaded him, it was almost as if just touching something could allow him to see things beyond like an eerie sixth sense.. An Elder had the ability to see one's memories by touching something very close to that person, like blood or something close to their heart. But never like this, now he could sense and see everything from just looking. So strange to him. Confused and dazed at his new form and abilities, he took his seat weakly on the throne, resting, trying to get his senses about him.

Hope you people are enjoying this, for the ones that have read the first cut will notice this a new chapter, expect a lot more of them, like I said this is my longer version. Markus has finally awoken, wonder what is happening to him.. But I want to thank all the reviewers, you guys are great!
