Hey all,
Sorry it's been a few days; but Friday was my twenty- first birthday. YAY! LOL So of course I had to go out and have fun. LOL Anyway, I am happy with the lovely responses I have been getting from you all! I feel so special! LOL

Reviewers: Thank you all. I really appreciate the feedback.

Evelyn: I know a lot of people don't like crossovers; but they are my favorite things to read and write. I'm glad you like Marcus though. I wanted him to be a little funny,and not as much of a jerk as Viktor was.

J: There you are! LOL I was wondering where you'd got to. Glad you like the story. Have fun reading this chapter!

agentscifi: Thank you for your review. I am pretty sure I am gonna do a Dark Angel with a tiny little bit of Buffy thrown in. I hope you will like it.

Marcus Lazarus: Hmmmm.. I already have a solution for the future thing with Dark Angel and it involves something out of Buffy. LOL I may have to think a bit on the whole vampire thing, but I have an idea for that already too. I may do a crossover with X-men in another story though,because I can see Logan and Michael duking it out right now! LOL

Samantha: Buffy will be included in the crossover; but you most likely won't see any of the main charachters. I just need it for a plot aspect. But I love Buffy,so don't worry you'll more than likely see a Buffy story on here sooner or later. The only charachter you'll see is one I really don't like,so he'll probably end up getting his neck broken or something. LOL

Disclaimer: Don't own,and if you want to sue me, u need your head checked. LOL

AN: This chapter has a little Marcus in it and a lot of Michael and Selene. Don't worry. I will be putting Kraven into it too. He will get his comeuppance i swear. Did I spell that right? LOL

Chapter 5. What the Hell?

Marcus was not a happy hybrid. He was seated in Viktors room, fuming.

"Bloody Viktor. If he was still alive I'd kill him!" He muttered angrily.

The other vampires insisted he stay in Viktors rooms until they figured out what they were going to do about him. He wasn't at all aware yet of just how powerful he was. He had, however seen his new claws and teeth and all in the mirror.

"Bloody lycans."

The door opened and admitted a younger vampire by the name of Erika. She smiled nervously. "I've brought your meal my lord." She held up a silver tray with a large glass of blood on it.

He was thirsting and would be for a few days until his metabolism evened out. At least he hoped so. He had no Idea what his new form would be like. Maybe he'd thirst like this all the time! He calmed himself and answered Erika.

"Thank you, child. Tell me, are they still deliberating?"

"Yes lord. No word yet."

He nodded. "You may go. If you hear one snippet however,you are to come straight to me."

She bowed her head. "Yes my lord."

Marcus would not be putting up with this at all if he wasn't in this situation. He needed help. He had no idea how he had mutated. Lycan blood was supposed to kill vampires. Wasn't it?

He wanted answers. and he would have them. He wanted Kraven more than Selene. The Death Dealers had told him about Kravens betrayal. So he had been in league with Julian? Then he would know why this had happened. Selene it seemed, had only fallen in love. Too bad the recipient of her love was a lycan. Hybrid, he silently corrected; but this man surely was just as confused as he was. And Selene would know nothing of it. No, he needed Kraven to give him the story. Then he would leave the man out for the sun,and deal with the rest of his problems.

There was a knock at the door, and Erika poked her head in. "They've come out my lord. They wish to speak with you."

"Send them in,child."

Erika bowed her head and shut the door. Moments later, the new council came in. It was composed of the oldest Death Dealers left. They all kneeled in respect. Marcus took this as a good sign.

The eldest spoke, "My lord. We have convened and decided that you are still in charge of the covens. You are the only elder left, and no one else is fit to lead."

Marcus nodded. "Thank you. Now, I want you all to go out and bring me the traitor Kraven. I would know why I am now part beast! And then I shall shackle him out to see the sunrise!"

Michael,
My name is Armadillo. I lead the lycans in your absence. We desperately need you to come to us. Our numbers were greatly diminished in the fight last night. We require your presence . You are under no obligation to lead the lycans; but as Lucian made you a hybrid,you have the right to that position. Your vampire friend is welcome. I have seen to it that she will come to no harm here. Please give your response to Sven. Hopefully we will se you later on tonight. Thank you.

Michael quickly wrote down a few sentences on the paper and gave it to Sven.

"Will you come?" He asked.

"I'll have to discuss that with Selene." Michael said. "If she feels comfortable, we will come."

The young man nodded solemnly,thanked Michael and left.

It was getting late. The sky was bright pink and gold. He wished the sun would sink faster. He wanted to check on Selene. They really needed a better place to stay.

The note concerned him a little. He had no wish to lead the lycans. He just wanted to be with Selene and be happy for once. He'd ask her what to do.

Selene was a little uncomfortable. She was half asleep and was aware of being a bit cramped. She was warm though,and that was an improvement on the sewers.

She rose slowly to full consiousness,just the way she liked. She hated being awakened abruptly. She opened her eyes and realized she was lying in a bathtub. She almost laughed. The room was dimly lit and smelled like Michael. He must have taken them back to his apartment. It wasn't a smart move;but she'd forgive him this time. It had been awfully close to sunrise.

She lay there another moment,and let reality sink in. Thinking of all that had happened made tears come to her eyes; but she stubbornly forced them away. She was done crying. She was ashamed that she had cried the night before; but she did feel a lot better. Michael had been so comforting. She smiled slightly, thinking about him.

"You better not make me regret saving you." She whispered.

Getting out was a little difficult. She was stiff from laying in the tub. It must have been the only room he had where the sun couldn't get in. She stretched and stepped out. Then she flung all of the blankets and pillows out.

"Time for a shower."

The hot water was invigorating and helped with the stiffness. She just stood under the blast of it for a full minuet before moving for the shampoo. She was soaping her hair when there was a knock on the door. "Selene, are you okay?"

"Yes Michael, I'm fine. I'll be out in a couple minuets."

"Alright, just checking."

Michael waited impatiently while Selene finished with her shower. The sun was down now and he wanted to see her,and tell her about the lycans invitation. He paced for a few seconds and then flung himself on the couch.

When she came out he got up in a flash. "How are you feeling? Are you okay'

She smiled at him. "Michael, you worry too much."

He smiled back sheepishly. "I was just worried about you. You really passed out on me."

"I know. I was just worn out." She hadn't realized just how worn she had been. The stress of last night was just the icing on the cake. The last century of her life had been full of enough stress to make a humans hair fall out. It was a jumble of hunting and fending off Kravens unwanted attentions. Last night had been the final fatal blow to her old life. She realized it had been coming for awhile. Even if she hadn't met Michael she would have defected at some point. She knew a few who had.

"The lycans want us to come to them. Michael said. They sent a young one with a letter earlier." Selene looked up sharply. "And what did you reply Michael?"

"Easy, I told them I'd have to discuss it with you first. Amadillo promised they would not harm you."

She nodded. "Good. And just what is it that they want?"

"They....uh... they want me to lead the lycans,or at least tell them if I wish to or not. And i wish not." He added.

She nodded approvingly. "You should get some experience under your belt before you go after a position like that."

He gaped at her. "You want me to lead the lycans?"

"Someday it would be a good thing for you. They all see you as a savior of some kind; but you're new at this. You need to learn some things first. And have fun, like I never did. I'm beginning to see why Viktor wasn't a very popular elder. When he reigned,everyone hunted, no one had much time to do anything. I've done my time. I want to have fun."

"I thought you lived to hunt? I thought that was your fun?"

" I thought so too; but I lost my taste for killing lycans. They were innocent of what I accused and I spent countless years killing them for nothing. Because I was misled. "

Michael was amazed. She seemed a different woman now. He was positively shocked when she walked over and kissed him.

"The lycans can wait awhile." Selene said into his ear.

He followed her numbly into his bedroom.

Well here you go. I'm not so sure about this chapter, so let me know if it sucks and I will fix it. If anyone has ideas for lycan or vampire names just put them down in your reviews and I will put the ones I can into the story,and u will recieve credit for them.
