Michael kept himself on high alert as he walked though the streets looking for any clues to Selene's whereabouts.
"Wait" Michael yelped thinking he had faintly picked up her scent. They all stopped and looked back at him as he sniffed around like a dog.
"Michael what are you…" Lucian stopped, picking up the same scent Michael had. Lucian tracked the scent down a busy street to the parked car Selene had used on the side of the road. Lucian bent down and studied the tread of the tire
"It's the car Selene used the tire marks match the ones in the drive"
"Selene!" Michael yelled in the almost vacant street
"Shut up Michael before you attract unwanted attention, think about it Michael she would have disposed the car here so they would lose her and walked the rest of the way" Lucian raised his arm and pointing in the clinic direction.
"See it's only a few blocks from here"
"Time wise it still doesn't add up Lucian we would have seen her when we went to Kraven's mansion" Michael snapped crossing his arms.
"Must I remind you again Selene is a warrior if you want to think like her think stealth, like a killer"
Michael frowned for a moment narrowing his eyes in thought
"Think she took the back way around to void being spotted?" He suggested
"That's a start"
Following a faint path they tracked her footsteps till they got to an intersection where her scent was most strong
"She's here…" Michael sniffed around
"It's so strong… Selene?" he called but not too loud to attract attention this time.
"Spread out" Lucian told the other three
"Don't harm her!" Michael scowled at them before they where out of ear shot.
Walking across the road then back Lucian studied the ground, it was hard since it was dark enough as it was but the light rain on the wet ground was dulling the scent quickly.
"We can't see of find anything of hers anywhere" one Lycan said jogging back to them.
"I know why and why her scent was so strong" Lucian grabbed the torch of the Lycans gun. He had realized what had happened, he took a few steps back toward the corner clicked on the torch and shone it at the ground.
"There" Lucian crouched down pointing to two faint pinkish rings where blood had been
"That's her blood… She was heading back as she passed the corner someone must have been waiting for her" Lucian shone the torch at the brick wall to find more small blood splatter.
"She was hit so hard and fast she wouldn't have seen it"
Michael stood still his heart sinking
"Who could have done it?"
"Well I'm guessing it wasn't a dealer or Lycan they wouldn't have been fast enough to catch her off guard, this was done by someone who has the strength and speed like a Hybrid you can tell by the distance of the blood splatter"
"That's impossible we are the only Hybrids"
"Yes but Elders also have this kind of speed and power"
"… Like Viktor… Selene killed him"
"No, Marcus"
Selene flinched slightly she could feel cold metal and smooth stone pressed against her face as she lay face down. She could hear faint voices somewhere in the back ground it was quickly distracted by the throbbing pain in the side of her face.
She couldn't help but let out a sharp gasp squeezing her eyes shut even tighter the pain in the side of her hear was horrendous it felt like she had been hit by a truck. She could smell her own blood drip from her nose and taste it as it dripped from her mouth even the taste of her own blood got her senses running, driving a want for more. She became quickly aware of light approaching footsteps that came to a subtle stop behind her head
"I know you're awake" a deep scratchy male's voice with an icy ring to it spoke down to her. Before she could open her eyes a cold hand braced her by the neck and picked her up till the chains locked to her wrists pulled taught.
"Ah the now infamous Selene"
She slowly opened her eyes to come face to face with Marcus. She shuddered, it was pure fear his ice blue eyes stared deep into her softer chocolate eyes it was like he was searching for something seeing right into her soul.
"I could so easily snap your neck…" he clamped his hand even tighter. She was now finding it difficult to breathe
"But I have use for you yet" He let her go letting her fall to the ground.
She coughed up blood and gasped letting out a small moan of pain she tried to hide by tilting her head down. She now realized her jaw was broken, her cheek bone was cracked and she was missing a molar. He silently stepped back and crossed his arms still standing over her. With a quick examination of the room she knew she was in the Elders tomb, she was chained to the floor where Singe was chained, both a twinge of anger and guilt hit her when her eyes fell on Viktor's empty tomb to her right.
She looked to the tomb that was on her left, now all that sat there was thick wooden board, her forehead scrunched into a frown as her eyes examined the ground that contained small traces of blood other than her own.
Marcus narrowed his eyes curiously watching her
"You are clever… and I know you have pieced it together already"
"… You… Hybrid" She barely managed to gasp though the pain. She heard him grind his teeth at her comment
"That's why I broke your jaw, say anything to those brainless fools and I will break it again, try to escape I will break both your legs, you will obey me got it?" He snarled at her leaning closer.
She nodded yes for the time being, she couldn't deal with anymore pain then the pain already coursing though her face.
"Good" He snapped marching out leaving her to her pain.
Synch14: Yes he was, it never said who bit him.
