"Let her go and do it now!" Michael snapped growling at Marcus who never even flinched.
"I cannot I have already made a deal" Marcus crossed his arms watching Michael's eyes changing back, Selene was still facing away her head forward still resting on his shoulder.
"Deal? What deal?" Michael demanded.
"I sold her back to her rightful owner"
"You still don't know much about the Vampyre world do you?"
Michael's eyes narrowed at Marcus as he uncrossed his arms and came down the steps.
"Her collar she has been claimed" Marcus pointed to his own neck gesturing her collar. It took less than a second for Michael to glance down at the collar then back at Marcus who still stood in the same place.
"Only the male who put it on her can take it off, not even immortals as strong as us can get it off"
Michael didn't even have to ask to know who had clipped it on her but how could Kraven pay for her? What did he possibly have that Marcus could want?
"I'm sorry he did it before I could stop him" Selene whispered next to Michael's ear.
Michael pulled away taking a step back, Selene didn't give him any eye contact she kept her head down. From the angle of her head he could still see the watery lines around her eyes.
"No she doesn't belong to me… I don't own her" Michael snapped turning to face Marcus again. Marcus's face was turning to a smile when Michael interrupted his twisted amusement
"Neither does Kraven, Selene owns herself she is not an 'object' that can be brought and no stupid piece of metal is going to change that, I don't care about your stupid little ways I've had enough of them already! You have woken up into a modern world and as far as I'm concerned the old ways are dead… Hybrid!" Michael snarled with anger Selene had never herd in him before. She looked up with a strong smile plastered on her face Michael was being Michael not letting himself into the creature from within or surrendering to a world he did not know and try to 'claim' her back as 'his'. It surprised her then again it didn't really it more than proved it didn't matter what he was it was the person and soul of him that loved her, not lust that wanted her. She looked at Marcus to see a face of shock and disgust it was a classic look she was sure the elder had never pulled before he had not seen that one coming.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it out your arse, Selene wanted to scream at Marcus but kept quiet knowing it was the wiser choice. By now Michael was in his hybrid form clenching his fists to the point his knuckles clicked stretching the muscles that where ready to pound Marcus.
"That was a very bad choice"
Marcus was only replied with a growl then a sudden snap of pain in his ribs sending him into the stone tomb wall.
Like Viktor Marcus had the upper hand of combat experience, yet Michael on the other hand had the upper hand of experience in his Hybrid state Marcus had still not yet ever fully changed form.
Unfortunately Marcus was a quick learner.
He was to his feet before Michael had lunged at him again slashing at him with his claws only to miss falling to the floor when Marcus had leapt to the other side of the room his form and speed starting to equal to Michaels.
At the moment he had Michael managed to lunge onto Marcus's back driving his claws into his shoulders as they cracked, stretched and popped outward when Marcus changed form. Marcus let out a half hiss mixed with a howl from the pain of Michael's claws joining the pain of the transformation of his already contorting body. Marcus threw his body back desperately trying to fling Michael off when his face pulled out figuring out the balance between Vampyre and Lycan. The Lycan snout extended from his face only to have that clawed as well Michael whipped his hands around his head and across his face trying to get a grip on his head to snap his neck at the same time avoid being bitten. Marcus whit his expanding torso could not reach backwards to grab Michael. Lycans in general could not reach backwards since having the same structure shoulders as a wolf.
Selene was delighted as blood was flung it was only Marcus's, she hoped that was going to be the only case in this fight. Marcus fell to all fours howling, Michael was making mince meat with his back shredding it to pieces, it was now and only now Michael let the creature take over to protect Selene.
Sure enough the tables turned, within the moment of his form loosing its Lycan phase Marcus barely managed to grab hold of Michael's wrist and finally fling him off.
Selene tried to look behind her as Michael landed out of her view, Marcus lunged right past. She tried to twist around looking to see what was going on all she could hear was like a dog fight of growls and snarling then the odd little yelp.
"Bloody!" She snarled looking up at the solid metal cuffs and thick chain that suspended her wrists above her head.
With all the noise death dealers eventually opened the doors even after Marcus has strictly told them not to. Instantly they where in shock at both the hybrid creatures fighting like dogs along the tomb floor.
With a single kick Marcus sent Michael across the tomb and stood up to face the stunned dealers.
"Kill her" He barely managed to speak though so many sharp teeth.
Dazed and confused at the elder's appearance only two of them looked at Selene who stood frozen still. They hesitated not sure quite what action to take, their so called elder would kill them if they didn't by the was no longer Vampyre yet knew Selene who was still a normal Vampyre and somewhat of an X dealer friend.
"He's gone insane!" Selene decided she had nothing else to do but try and play a few mind tricks of her own.
"I'll do it myself!" He growled heading over to her claws drawn when Michael once again leapt onto his back throwing him to the floor flat on his face.
The dealers backed off and closed the glass door staying within safe distance waiting for the council to arrive.
"I don't believe you cowards!" Selene hissed then took a second thought about it, she wouldn't take on a hybrid either.
Out side Kraven stood with his hands on his hips leaning against the car wondering what the hell was taking so long for Marcus to bring out Selene. His Vampyric ears could only faintly hear the growling from inside the tomb though the hole in the roof.
Erika sitting in the back of the car sat with her arms tightly across her chest her face masked with a pout watching Kraven stand outside the car. Finally she gave up and got out and walked over to him.
"Get back in the car" He snapped without even looking at her.
"What is taking so long" She sulked putting her hands on her hips still in a snaky mood after being rejected by Kraven for Selene for the umpteenth time.
"I don't know and you don't care get in the car before they see you!"
Erika ignored him
"What is that noise? It sounds like fighting dogs… its coming from the mansion" She took a step closer squinting.
"Get back, Marcus may be fighting a Lycan" Kraven grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Or he's bringing Selene to you in pieces you did specify you want her back whole?" Erika smirked just to rev him up. Kraven's face dropped he knew Marcus did have that sort of mentality.
"For the last time get in the car!" He dragged her back to the car door and stuffed her inside slamming the door shut behind her. Kraven marched back to the gate and pushed on the buzzer, a guard's face popped up.
"Why is Marcus taking so long? I demand Selene now!" Kraven hissed his eyes glowing blue. Erika watched him with a glare now having doubts about leaving to join Kraven, she had told him Marcus had kidnapped her from Kraven in the first place.
Kraven was most foolish to bring only two body guards with him, this was a fact the guard on the screen pointed out, sneering at him. In a fit of anger Kraven smashed the camera off the top of the gate with his fist.
"F…!" he gasped cracking a knuckle.
"Smash the rest of it!" he ordered to his guards who did not respond. Flinging around Kraven found both his guards lying dead in a pool of blood upon the ground, their throats ripped clean out. Erika was hiding crouching down in the back seat shaking in fear at the two Lycans standing outside, fortunately for her their attention was on Kraven.
Kraven's gut sank when Lucian stepped out onto the road his eyes fixed on Kraven
"I believe we have some unfinished business… Kraven" Lucian spat his name.
