Selene had eventually gave into the pain and laid her self back down on the cold floor where she slept for a few hours till the footsteps returned waking her. They where light but this time the walk was more of a clicking walk a heel toe prance it would be unlikely Marcus was wearing stilettos.
Curiosity got the better of Selene and she opened her eyes to look into large round blue eyes looking right back at her, along with a smiling face.
"You don't need to hang around here freezing to death Viktor's not here anymore" She joked.
Questions rang though Selene's head as to why Erika was paying her a visit and by Erika's continuous glances at the door the visit was not approved by Marcus or anyone else.
"Let me guess, you are not helping me you are helping you" Selene slowly managed to splutter her jaw had managed to pop into place and seal itself but the muscles where still torn and bleeding.
"All I want is Kraven's address" Erika was sickly polite.
"For what" Selene was hesitant about trying to make an escape she wouldn't get far especially with a Hybrid elder after her threatening to break the bones in her body.
"This" Erika held a heated blood pack in front of Selene's face, instantly from a lack of blood and shivering from the cold floor Selene's mouth watered she could smell its heat and that it was fresh her mouth and stomach screamed for it. Erika smiled a cruel smile she knew how bad Selene wanted it since her eyes turned blue.
"Hmmm the animal instinct to feed, hard to resist isn't it" Erika tore off the corner of the packet making only a small hole for it to drip from. Selene's senses spun as the smell was now even stronger
"So what is it" Erika lifted the packet to her mouth threatening to drink it
"How can I trust you?" Selene moaned sitting up.
"Fair enough" Erika held the packet out and gave it to Selene who would have snatched it yet she had no energy why waste it on being stubborn she needed to be sharp.
She felt heat return to her body in the first mouthful alone, warm blood had never tasted so good, her aching stomach finally let her alone getting the fed it so desired as much as Selene her self fed on the delicious blood she so desired.
Erika stood above her with her arms crossed
"Now I kept my end of the deal you keep yours"
Selene almost smiled at the thought, Erika wanted to go to Kraven because he took the fortune, little did she know now Selene had the fortune, just not the power.
"Twenty-four Spreydon St… near the river"
"Good, now give it back"
Selene looked up at Erika
"Finish it and give it back you can't leave the evidence here now can we?" Selene sucked the pack dry then handed it back.
"Now that wasn't so hard, see you next time" Erika smirked walking out.
The ach in Selene's jaw returned with a twinge yet the contentment of a stomach full of warm blood made dealing with it a lot easier.
For the day Lucian, Michael and the three Lycans walked around town freely looking for anymore stray Lycans that lingered around like lone wolves as the three that joined them had told them.
They where fortunate to find two more sleeping in the back of a restaurant in the ally eating leftovers out of a can.
"Heads up my brethren no longer shall you eat like scavengers"
"Lucian!" The young Lycans where happy to see their leader once again.
"Come on we should clean up and get some decent food to eat"
"What about Selene?" Michael grumbled
"We can't rescue her in the daylight she cannot come out of the Mansion, for now as I said before we will find who we can and at least clean them up and put a meal in their stomach they will be more than happy to fight for us, if we are going to lead our kind we have to keep our pack members happy, besides we can talk about a plan over dinner" Lucian talked Michael into it.
"Alright" Michael agreed though he felt guilty for spending money Selene has almost lost her life to give them and her life is still in jeopardy while he spends up.
Selene knew the day was coming to an end she could tell by the amount of activity in the mansion as she sat on the cold floor rubbing her healed face that was now only just sore. Often her thoughts trailed to Michael, how he comforted her only a couple of nights ago and the whole situation she was in.
She jumped being snapped out of her thoughts when the large doors behind her rolled open, this time she could turn to face Marcus as he walked in.
His cold eyes stared down on her when he walked past cutting close almost empowering him self showing authority dominance and power over her. She refused to let herself coward she only broke eye contact looking away.
She never saw the object he carried in his hand instead she listened to his solitary footsteps as they walked over to the throne where they became silent.
Slowly she looked up at him but he wasn't looking at her he was looking at something in his hand.
"It's funny what love does. It makes people do uncontrollable things it makes them most unpredictable, a loose cannon following their heart being most reckless… like loving a hybrid"
He finally looked down at her one of his eyes flickered narrowing like he had a point to make
"If you love him then there is hope for me" He leaned forward watching her facial expressions closely. She was completely unsure of his questions or motives with her
"You look confused… well don't be I have easy questions to ask just difficult for you to answer" The question to ask first was sure in his mind, in her mind was what he was going to do with her after he had fulfilled his curiosity with questions.
"How much do you love Michael? You only meet him a day before turning on your own coven family, so how much?"
She glanced away unsure of how to answer his question, though her face relaxed ever so slightly thinking of Michael. Marcus read her facial expression well
"That much? Are you sure" he taunted her.
"Did you even think of how your life would be with him? Trying to run from the coven? Or was it all spare of the moment love?" He was toying with her emotions some how he knew Michael had helped her let some out.
"I don't know… I lived for it to the point it was too much I can't bare it anymore"
She thought she saw a hint of sympathy in his face as quick as lightning it was gone.
"As an elder it is something we too would wish for but we cannot Vampyre's nor Lycans it's the price you pay for immortality" He stood up
"You cannot have your family back and you cannot have a family in your future not like this" he put the object down in front of her, it was the photo of her family that used to sit on her desk. She could not help her sudden emotion change in her face it was one of delight that it was still in tact yet anger and fear of it in his possession. It was on the floor jus tout of her reach, he crouched down so his face was inches from her
"Geez I wish I had a family like that, Viktor did… as a main course meal" Marcus smiled sinisterly watching her face for the reaction he wanted. Selene's insides tore about she wanted to rip out his eyes and dice of his head like Viktor's.
"Ah you see that's what makes you so interesting, you hate me and the hurtful comment I made but you are smart and disciplined enough to restrain yourself" he got to his feet
"That I admire about you, I could torture you physically and mentally and I wanted to put you out in the sun to fry like eggs but that would be a waste…" He gave another horrendous cruel smile before she knew it he was behind her with his arm locked around her neck clamped but not tight
"I have a better idea"
(Don't freak I am NOT pairing Marcus and Selene like my last stories its all Michael and Selene)
UV: Yes... I confess I have an addiction to cliffhangers, Im quite shocking. There will be a reuninon, doesnt mean it is going to be a happy one... or is it?
Synch14: Either way he shot him. I don't know howold itdoesnt matter, a few hundred years maybe.
Elvishpheonix: Um no it wasn't chapter 90 but thanks anyway. I jsut went with what I remember. Hehehe yeah most remember ot think of Marcus like in Song to the Siren, not this time.
Ehlayah: You like reading sadisticmaterial... I have fun writing sadistic material... (Has an epiphany)... Hahaha we think along the same lines. Really you have no idea of how many fighting scenes I jump with joy to the endless possiblites to what can be used in an unapproprate (sinister) way to harm another and the devistating (gorey) affect it could possibly do... yet there is still so much more I have yet to write...
