Selene flew into the driveway coming home alone her mood had changed drastically from upset to a bad temper. She slammed the door shut and stormed up toward to her room. She flicked the light on and walked over to her closest and opened it up crouched down onto her knees.
"Hey girl how's it going" She stroked Cass slowly trying to calm herself down. Cass licked her hand appreciating the company. Selene made a fuss then closed the closest half way. She had calmed herself a lot more than she was before, but she was still irritated. Sighing stretching her wings she suddenly noticed the goat from the barn sitting on her bed chewing up one of her shirts.
"What the..., get out!" She shooed it out of her room not even caring where it went. Annoyed she pulled the muddy blanket off the bed and giving herself some time to think, she took it down to the laundry, only to open the door to a laundry full of chickens.
"What the hell!" she froze in the doorway.
She knew in the back of her mind who was behind this, along with the classic I don't need this shit right now.
"Bloody Viktor cant baby sit!" she cursed throwing the blanket onto the washing machine then closed the door before any got out.
She decided to take a shortcut though the kitchen up to the nursery wanting to see her son even if it was to watch him sleep. She strolled into the kitchen to come across their pet cow Daffy who had managed to get into the kitchen, she had mastered how to open door handles.
"Cant leave him for a few hours for goodness sake!" she muttered walking past the cow, she was becoming tired at getting to the point she didn't care, even giving the cow a pat on the way up to Kain's room, to step in a steaming pile of goat shit
"Oh shit" her night wasn't getting any better.
She hopped to the kid's bathroom flicked on the light and saw the toothpaste covered mirror
"Oh why tonight" she snapped not even noticing the water on the floor, she walked over to the basin only to slip over in the puddle on the floor.
"Oh for fuck sake!" she growled climbing to her feet then wiping the shit off her bare foot and just left the bathroom as it was.
She was now dreading what state Kain's room was in. She pushed his door open with a smile expecting to see his little sleeping face to find his room was empty and thankfully still clean apart from the cloths over the floor.
She next checked the nursery to find him.
Lilly and Kain had fallen asleep either side of Viktor when he was reading them story then Viktor fell to sleep soon after. She didn't know whether to yell at him or laugh at his make over. Lilly had managed to give Viktor a make over giving him ponytails one above each ear on the side, pink eye shadow that was right across his face and bright pink lipstick to match. It was one hell of a sight, she'd never imagined she would see.
She crossed her arms and stood for a second when an idea crossed her mind.
She left for a moment and returned walking in silently then stood in front of him. She tapped his leg lightly with her foot to wake him
"Viktor wake up" she whispered trying to only wake him and not the children. She held up her digital camera and took a photo of them all sleeping then took another one as Viktor woke up and looked strait at her.
"Oh bloody hell Selene!" he grouched knowing the photo was going to haunt him for a very long time.
"Why was there a goat eating my cloths and had made a muddy bed on my bed?" she snapped her angry mood flaring up again.
"That's where it went"
"And why is the laundry full of chickens?"
"Oh yeah about that..."
"And Daffy's going though the kitchen"
"She got back in?"
"And I arsed over in the bathroom there's bloody water everywhere, not to mention toothpaste" She grumbled at him with her hands on her hips.
"I was going to clean it up"
She stood frozen for a moment her face still and cold.
"And I suppose from the grins on their face they had a good time?" she briefly smiled seeing them smile in their sleep, softening her mood.
"Yes so it seems"
Selene sighed it off with a small smile and gently took sleeping Kain up into her arms and carried him out to run into Marcus in the hall
"Selene we need to talk"
"Shhhh you'll wake him" she walked right past him not even giving him eye contact, taking Kain into his room.
"I'm sorry Selene" he followed her into Kain's room she said nothing in return, just waited as Marcus pulled back the covers. She placed Kain still sleeping into the bed, covered him in the sheets, tucked him in then gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"Selene say something please" Marcus pleaded with her
"Not right now" She said still avoiding eye contact. Viktor was holding Lilly in the hallway, when Selene took her from him
"Thank you Viktor you can retire for the night"
"Goodnight" Viktor nodded then left knowing very well not to enter into their argument.
"Selene what am I supposed to say?" he raised his voice waking Lilly
"Mummy?" she groaned half asleep.
"No it's just me"
"Selene" Lilly said groggy, then closed her eyes and cuddled into her drifting back to sleep.
"I said not now" She snapped coldly and carried Lilly into her own room, this time Marcus did not follow. She tucked her in then gave her a kiss on the cheek
"Where's mummy and daddy?"
"There on there way they will be home soon" before Selene finished her sentence Lilly fell asleep.
She pulled the door half closed and walked back into her room, only to have Marcus follow. He shut the door so no one would hear them argue
"Selene it was not what you think, I didn't want them" Marcus loudly whispered following her around her room as she picked up half the cloths Erika had sprawled everywhere. Along with what was left with two of her tops the goat ate.
"Selene...?" he was pleading but she still ignored him.
"Say something anything" she heard the desperation in his voice. She stopped what she was doing and faced him, yet still not giving him eye contact she knew if she did she would believe anything he would say.
"It's over there" she pointed at the door. He let out a sigh
"Please Selene just hear me out"
She stood still staring past him at the floor her arms crossed.
"I was not womanizing I just got rid of the thug that's all"
"I know, I saw the whole thing" she snapped at him coldly
"Then why did you fly away" he stepped closer and placed his hand on her arm, she still would not look at him. She flicked his hand off her arm sharply
"You didn't exactly pull away did you? Besides its not that I'm angry at you for!"
"Then what is it?"
"It's what you said, why did you have to go and say it? Why?!" she growled at him stepping back
"What did I say?"
Selene took a deep breath her eyes had shot up for a moment before she was going to pull them away they locked on his holding her there.
"Selene tell me what I said, or what I can do or say to make it better"
"You said the same thing Michael and Kraven did" her words no where not as harsh as they where.
Marcus remembered what she had told him one other time about those particular words forbidden to her ears.
"I'm sorry I forgot"
She finally broke away from his eyes and turned her back to him. He was beginning to hurt, she was not giving him a break and now that he came to think about it she never did.
He sighed
"It seems like I'm always apologizing to you, I can't do anything right, even if it is accidental you seem to hold it as a grudge against me!" he growled at her clenching his fists she had dragged him around by his heart long enough.
She faced him her eyes a little wider shocked at his out burst.
"What?" she said in shock
"I poured my heart out to you and said something that offended you anciently it was not on purpose and now your holding it against me like every other little thing I've done, I may be an elder but I do make mistakes from time to time, I'm not perfect!"
"I never said you had to be!" she yelled back at him wearing her cold mask
"Then why are you always angry at me?!"
She stood back and grinded her teeth for a moment glaring at him
"You still hate me for taking Kain when he was born isn't it"
"Don't bring that up!"
"It is! That was five years ago, you know I would never hurt him and you know why I did that!"
"Some things take a while to forgive!"
"Yes its all my fault, everything its my fault he wasn't breathing at birth we had to take him to the infirmary for aid, its my fault Amos took Kain, its my fault the battle happened, its my fault Kraven died, hell why don't you just blame everything on me then? It's my fault Michael died, it's my fault Viktor killed your family, cause you treat him better than me!" Marcus could not deny he had wanted to get that out for a long time.
Marcus was standing almost right in her face almost trying to intimidate her with his size getting the message across. She stood her ground and stared right back, not moving a mussel, her arms and fists clenched at her sides.
"I know you had nothing to do with that don't be ridiculous!"
"The way you talk to me sometimes, I might as well have done the same as Viktor!"
"How dare you bring that into this" She lifted her hand and swung her arm to slap him but he caught her wrist, but did not squeeze it or hurt her in any way.
"How dare you hit me so easily, and what about everything else?" he let her wrist go.
"Everything else?!" she snared at him confused at what he meant.
"It's my fault I delivered Kain safely into the world and cared for the both of you, letting you live in my home freely as long as you wanted, It's my fault I jumped off the tower saving Kain and ended up being impaled on an old rusty drain pipe that almost took my life?" as he spoke his voice slowly lowered
"It's my fault I let your friends live here freely and have there own families, Its my fault even though you where with Kraven I would have given my life in the battle to gave you and Kain a future, It's my fault I literally built an entire army to protect you" He stopped there letting her think about what he had done for her
"You hate me so much for all the things I've done wrong, what about the things I have done for you the things I did right? Do they count at all?"
Silence was her only answer, her eye's where becoming glassy as where his own. He stood back reading her silent answer
"If you don't love me, and hate me that much, I'll go into hibernation for another couple of hundred years I'll stay out of your life" his words where full of hurt as was his expression.
"Don't be ridiculous!"
"Well its better than staying awake suffering this torment you put me though everyday!" he began to raise his voice again
"Torment? Really?"
Her sharp words and cold look turned the knife she had already stabbed in his heart.
"Well if you really hate me why did you return the kiss at the restaurant? You let me kiss you and carry it on, you even put you're arm around my neck pulling yourself closer that meant nothing?!" he yelled at her now the hurt was really pouring out.
She tried to hide it but her facial expression changed, as did her eyes as he looked deeply into them, he knew she was holding herself back.
"Still no answer, you either make me apologize or give me the silent treatment. Don't think I won't go because I will, I just need to know, this..." He took her completely by surprise locking his lips with hers. For the moment she was drawn in, it was what her heart and body wanted, desired, craved, in her own natural reaction she returned the kiss.
Her mind made her pull away, the very cheek of it, it told her, and she slapped him in moments and glared at him, his face dropped with hurt, again she kissed him back, but would not let her feelings for him free.
"I should have known you'd do that!" he growled at her
"But it answered my questi..." he snapped quickly only to be stopped as this time, it was her that leaned in and kissed him. It was indeed more than a pleasant surprise, but she still cruelly played with his heart, now he was confused. This kiss was longer and more passionate than the last, Selene again pulled away.
"Now that isn't fair, you are cruel" his whispered words had complete honesty.
"Am I?" She gave him a quick look of seductiveness and slid her hand up under his top running her fingers along his abdominal mussels he took in a sharp breath she then leaned in and locked with his lips again. He let out a small quiet moan of pleasure.
He knew it was for real, she couldn't ever say it only show it in her actions. But she had always been like that.
In moments the tension that had build up between them was finally let lose, passion raged though them. Marcus let her violently rip hit shirt from him revealing his tattooed patterned bare chest, as they kissed so hard it would bruise. Wild in passion Marcus tightly looped his arms around her trying to walk her backwards to the bed, hitting a number of shelves along the way, but neither of them cared.
Almost at the bed, Selene tripped on the rug taking him down with her finally breaking the kiss. Trying not to lean on her wings Marcus got up, picking her up with him and placed her on the bed. His lips tenderly returned to hers has he held himself above her, pulling off what was left of her top. She moaned in pleasure raising her leg along his thy and began to tease him rolling her hips against him. He let out a growl finally leaving her mouth and moved south lightly caressing her skin with his lips. Their pace began to slow a little as he ever so lightly teased her skin with a feather soft touch of his fingers lightly running along her bare skin, his figures barely made contact, it was just enough to seductively tickle and tease her skin. She groaned at the feeling rolling back her head as light as the touch was, it was arousing.
Arriving at her abdomen Marcus still had her leather pants and boots to dispose of, and she had to wear boots that had at least eight buckles each boot. He sat up and lifted her leg and tried to pull the boot off, he sighed and dropped his shoulders
"You had to wear boots didn't you?"
She giggled hysterically in amusement at his smiling despair
"No problem" he grinned summoning his claws
"Don't you dare" she laughed
"They are my favorite pair" she giggled again just wanting him to undo everyone to satisfy her amusement. He rolled his eyes trying not to laugh and as quick as possible undid each buckle. Selene almost knew she could control him, she loved the pleasure of power she had over him, and in teasing when he was about to unbutton her pants she put her arm out stopping him. He paused at looked up frozen, a questioning look upon his face waiting for what she wanted. Satisfying her power she smiled and let him continue, to strip her of her remaining cloths, while she dealt with his trousers.
Careful not to lean on her wings he lay above her nuzzling her neck, the Vampyre half of him he spent most his life as called upon his desire, making his mind, eyes and mouth focus on the indulging pulsing beneath her smooth skin. This temptation was joined with the longing to claim her and mark her as his mate, his territory, his eternal companion, the one thing he had hungered for, for so long. He resisted for the moment, he did not want to bite her if she did not want to fully make them an item.
She parted for him letting him penetrate her and begin his slow rocking, her own eyes where fixed upon his neck for a moment between rolling back her head letting out pleasurable gasps and groans, along with his own. He picked up his pace, he rolled his hips as he thrust she could feel he aimed to please her. Her own lips caressing his neck her temptation much like his, her teeth elongated to her three sets of metallic pearl fangs, her eyes became their unique blood red watching his pulsing neck. Her lips rested on his collar bone until the climax rippled though their bodies she could not hold herself back any longer the desire to mark him as hers was just as strong, finally she could do what she could not with her past loves, she sank her teeth deep into his throat and began to devour the liquid gold. As they relaxed he let her drink his life blood, with the scent of his own blood being deeply consumed by her he sank his own teeth into her neck. Locked in a ring of blood flow it was a lock of desire fulfilled until Marcus's mouth began to burn. Selene's blood and structure was still made from the black Vorador blood, that was more potent in her system the flesh eating poison that he, lost in love and lust had forgotten about. He pulled away as his insides began to be eaten, his mouth and cheeks where slowly being eaten away, dissolving.
Selene saw the panic in his eyes as he threw himself back off her and onto the floor
"What is it... oh no" he cried, the curse of the words had come sooner than she had hoped. She knew it was her blood that was eating him alive
"Marcus no!" She leapt off the bed to his side placing her hand on his convulsing chest. It was eating though his stomach to his lungs, he couldn't breathe.
She watched his chest not knowing what to do, all he could do was stare up at her face, to him it soothed the pain. She placed both her hands upon his chest she knew she could somehow adapt him it could be done, the Vorador did it once for her, she had the power but had no idea how or where to begin.
"Hold on, just hold on!" She cried tears beginning to stream down her cheeks.
It wasn't fair, it seemed she was not aloud to love.
She shut her eyes tight both hands upon his chest she focused on her blood that she could sense in his body, she focused upon it adapting, almost trying to control its path of eating chaos and heal his body rather than devour it.
Marcus panted hard, watching her close her eyes, and in moments amazingly the pain began to cease. Still panting hard he watched and felt her hands upon his chest give a small light, upon her bowed head her face wore a frown. Without her realizing it her wings unfolded and spread out over him like a shield. The pattern upon her wings was moving slowly responding to her actions. His blood began to change, while his body took no physical change his new type blood began to heal the damage it had just caused at twice the speed.
Minutes passed it seemed like an hour before she finally rose her head and opened her eyes to meet with his.
"You did it" he groaned lightly still in a little pain. She sighed with relief and fell against him, resting her head upon his chest, her body falling in his arms.
"Don't ever scare me like that again" she whispered listening to his heart beat, she knew she loved him the scare was enough to make her really wake up and let him see her love for him.
He brushed back her hair to see his bite mark upon her neck, it had fully healed but the scar was there
"It was worth it" he said with a loving smile rubbing his thumbs over his mark.
"You had to say it didn't you" She had sorrow in her voice, her arms clamped tighter around him.
He knew she was not referring to what he just said rather what he had said earlier.
"No, I feed from you out of love this was not because of what I said. Besides I'm alive we're together, nothing else matters" he tightened his grip around her as they rested together in each others arms.
Moments later Selene began to giggle a little.
"What?" he asked confused.
"One thing does matter, now it's starting to bother me"
"And what's that"
"If that fucken goat does not stop staring at us I'm gonna wring its neck"
Marcus opened his eyes to see the goat watching them while chewing their ripped cloths. They immediately began to laugh.
Early the next morning Erika and Duncan finally stumbled in the door drunk laughing their heads off. Silently they checked on both Lilly and Kain when Erika decided to see what happened to Selene and Marcus or if they where even home.
Duncan could barely stand up
"Shit, I have drunk more than I thought I'm bloody seeing things!" Duncan goggle eyed saw the goat standing in the hallway.
Erika was more focused on opening the door to Selene's room.
"There's a hallway in the goat" Duncan drunk got his words back to front, and never even realized, his attention was now on Erika.
"What you doing?" He tried to whisper but it still came out quite loud.
"Just want to see if they are home" she giggled and snickered silently opening the door a little way looking into Selene's room. It was innocent, she only wanted to see she was back and had highly doubted they had gotten together and stuck her head right though the door
"Oh!" Erika covered her mouth seeing the naked Marcus and Selene both in the bed asleep cuddled together. Erika tried to pull her head back though the door quickly only to have Duncan who was nosey at what she gasped at walk into her causing her to lose her balance and fall though the door causing a loud thud along with Duncan who tried to stop her from falling and fell on top of her waking the new pair. Selene sat up quickly and flicked the light on
"What the hell?" She yelled holding the sheet high covering her bare body.
Duncan dizzily sat up and saw only Selene from the floor.
"Why did you gasp its just Selene" he babbled as Erika respectfully covered her eyes and tried to crawl backwards out the room only to back into then into the shelf by the door frame knocking a large amount of books off the shelf
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"
"What's going on" Marcus grumbled sitting up squinting his eyes.
"Oh I see" Duncan said seeing Marcus and the smile on his face what Erika had meant by 'Oh'.
Duncan stood up
"Well it's about blood time you two..."
"Duncan!" Erika still giggling snapped at his blatant rudeness
"Where did you two get to?" Marcus asked quite casual
"Well Selene took the car keys with her when she took off, so we decided to have some drinks and time to ourselves and since the cleared up rain, we decided to way all the walk home" Duncan explained, his drunkenness was giving him a terrible case of dyslexia.
"I'm amazed you gat all the way home drunk" Marcus and Duncan talked so casual Selene and Erika couldn't believe it. Marcus was on cloud nine in love and Duncan intoxicated was feeling pretty good also.
"Okay it's time to get out" Selene a little embarrassed asked Duncan.
"Oh alright, I'll leave ye two love birds to it" He joined Erika who was already in the hall shutting the door.
"I don't believe you just did that"
"What we know them, its fine"
She rolled her eyes and headed for the kitchen to have a drink to sober a little before they slept to find Soren the goat and the cow in the kitchen.
"Why is their animals though the castle? And what are you still doing up?" Erika asked retrieving a glass of blood for Duncan and herself.
"I couldn't sleep with the racket upstairs"
Duncan frowned
"What racket?"
"Let's just say my room is below Selene's"
"Oh" Duncan's face dropped realizing, he then burst out laughing
"We'll I guess it was more than about time they got together" Erika rolled her eyes
"Duncan give it a rest"
"They're finished I think you can go back" Duncan smirked still giggling
"No, I can't"
"Why"
Soren tilted his head a little and ran his hand though his hair
"Because that's what I thought the last seven times"
Erika coughed inhaling her blood while she was drinking as he told her, as did Duncan.
"I guess your night out to get them together worked well, very well" Duncan smirked.
"While I'm going to sleep in the lounge" Soren winged mopping off.
"Was it just my imagination or was Soren wearing make up?" Erika quietly whispered to Duncan
"No, he was wearing it alright" Duncan laughed
"looks like we weren't the only ones who had fun tonight"
Please it would be kind of you to review, and much appreciated thankyou.
The trailor/preveiw to Song to the Siren II is on its way, I have not a name for it yet but I am working on it and the story.
