The pain in Selene's neck stung like crazy making her leg seem like nothing at all. Marcus's teeth seemed to be clamped so hard he was going to take the side of her neck off she remained frozen unable to move. Besides she knew moving would cause more pain, she had struggled with fright when Viktor sank his teeth into her the first time making his sharp fangs tear her skin more than needed.
"Selene!" Michael cried in panic about to jump at Marcus when Lucian held him back
"He could trying to turn her, attack him and he could rip out her jugular killing her easily"
"What if he is draining her dry she doesn't have much blood!" Michael panicked half in change badly wanting to pull Selene to safety and rip out Marcus's throat.
"Calm down, look at her eyes" Lucian gestured toward Selene's eyes that where changing. Selene could hear the words but nothing made any sense all she could feel was hot burning pain like boiling acid flowing though her veins, her eyesight had became hazy then dark making her wonder if Marcus would suck the life from her. Marcus knowing full well the pure indulgence of the feed had to stop, her body was beginning to tremble and become heavy in his arms, any longer and she would surely die.
With a mouth full of blood covered teeth Marcus pulled away and looked down at her pale face. Her eyes where half black yet her blue irises still visible. Her skin was as white as death could get with her veins now purple clearly showing through. He placed her down on the ground as her body convulsed about her lungs opening and closing at a rapid rate trying to breathe the needed air. Michael's black eyes where fixed on Marcus with hatred weather Selene would live though this or not he was determined to kill him. Marcus watched her flicker her eyes open and closed then gave a smile as they fully changed black making the change successful.
"Now she is one of us" He spoke up pleased with himself.
"Now you're going to die!" Michael snarled leaping at Marcus knocking him to the floor. Lucian grabbed Selene and dragged her along the floor away from the again fighting hybrids and checked her wound. Her blood had spilled out over the collar Kraven had put on her and down her shoulder. It was almost fortunate the collar was on her since it would have made Marcus's chance at ripping out her throat a lot harder.
Lucian left her to her change knowing for well she would live and rose to aid Michael against Marcus to dispose of the last Elder.
Everything was vacant in Selene's mind only pain seemed to make any sense it was the one and only thing that was familiar in a twisted sense. Her skin began to change a metallic blue just like the others her nails grew long and became black. Her teeth elongated into sharp points making it feel like each tooth was being yanked out with a pair of pliers. It seemed to take forever to complete when all of a sudden the pain suddenly vanished leaving her for the first time in over a hundred years warm. For once the cold floor she laid upon was soothing on her hot skin never in her Vampyric years had she ever wanted the cold against her. Still even weaker than before she relaxed resting on the floor half conscious laying easy in the knowledge Lucian and Michael would surely finish Marcus off.
"She has changed you…"
"You changed her against her will! You bit her!" Michael yelled in pure anger Lucian could feel power almost pouring off him he was using his hate to charge it up.
"No, I have created you a mate for our kind now it can get started"
"How dare you demote her as 'mate' she is a person!"
"That is not the point, she is now one of us I have done you a favor open your eyes!" Marcus backed away from Michael who drew his claws.
"You almost killed her turning her!" Michael swung at Marcus who stepped back barely missing the swing.
"I never thought I'd see you cowering away Marcus" Lucian sneered walking around side Michael helping him back Marcus into a corner.
"I do not cower!" Marcus snarled changing form again.
"You and your kind will pay for all the suffering you have inflicted on her and Lucian's kind!"
"We'll see about that! If you do not do what I will then I will dispose of you and take her for myself" Marcus still stood his ground in his arrogance.
"I hate you!" Michael growled in pure rage feeling the power growing. He growled till drool dripped from his numbers of sharp teeth. Lucian was the first to leap onto Marcus's side while Michael dove at the front stabbing his claws deep into Marcus's chest. Marcus's growl turned yelp when the weight of Both Lucian and Michael was too much along with their cutting claws. Falling on his back Marcus swung at Michael slashing his face angering him even more. With his other free arm Marcus grabbed hold of Lucian's face Lucian gritted his teeth digging his own claws into Marcus's neck. In defense Marcus pushed both his fingers into Lucian's eyes in reflex to protect his eyesight Lucian pulled back only to have Marcus throw him to the ground with a single strike. Michael Dove his hands in even deeper trying to force his claws into his heart, Marcus clenched his fists together and brought them down onto the top of Michael's head twisting his head and neck not quite breaking it. Marcus felt a sharp pain when Michael flipped back onto the floor his hands covered in blood. Marcus returned to his feet, opening his mouth he stopped as his chest ached so bad he could barely make a sound. Looking down at his bare chest, two large bloody red holes sat in his chest, each side a rib missing now lying in each of Michael's hands.
Marcus coughed for a moment till blood oozed from his mouth
"Shit" Lucian muttered seeing the ribs in Michael's hands.
Michael smirked jumping to his feet holding the trophy ribs up like weapons as Marcus held the two wounds closed.
"Missing something?" Michael snared in delight as this was the start of literately tearing Marcus to pieces.
Marcus growled at Michael advancing toward him only to forget about Lucian who had jumped onto the ceiling and began crawling along like a spider when finally the tomb doors slid open. Behind the glass the new council members observed the situation.
"Selene is dead… they killed her" What was a fellow death dealer observed aloud, eyes fixed on Selene's still body.
"They will kill all Vampyre's and Lycans!" One council member panicked.
"That much is true… they will destroy us all" The oldest turned to face the rest of them
"What should be our plan of action?" Another asked crossing her arms. The oldest raised a brow.
"First close the doors we cannot allow them to leave"
On order the Vampyre behind the controls closed the metal shield.
"Tell everyone to evacuate the building to the station we will all take Amelia's train to the new world house"
"Run! But they will find us!" the same Vampyre panicked.
"They will surely hunt us down before long" The taller Vampyre behind her agreed, it was not in a Vampyre's nature to run and hide only from sunlight would they do such a thing.
"They will not hunt us after we leave, attach enough fire power to the house"
"You're going to blow it up?" They stood in utter shock at the head councilor's move.
"We can lead our own coven our way, totally dispose of the war and the previous life we have no need for it anymore. When this house crumbles in explosions and flames it will take them with it assuring our safety" He calmly explained.
"There is only four hours till dawn"
"There are enough Vampyre's to put to work in this Coven if they want to live so we better get moving. Anyone who fails to be on the train before sunrise will be burned alive or joins the hybrids fates" He headed out before any could have the chance to question him.
Inside the tomb Lucian had pounced onto Marcus's back looping his arm around his neck at an attempt to snap his neck. While Marcus's arms where clawing at Lucian's grip Michael had a clear shot of his chest, he had a plan to stab Marcus in the heart with his own rib.
All where unaware the doors even opened or closed let alone hear the voices on the other side.
Thankyou for all your wonderful reviews. It was a nasty cliff hanger I left you with and I asure I I was going to post the next day, but over the last few days I have been unable to acces my acount and had to email Fanfiction to see what was going on. Finally this morning its fixed :P

Soullesseyes: Thankyou, Um I kinda get a little "trigger happy" of making cliff hangers lol.
Sailorfusion: I like to be different. This was the one story everyone asked me to write, cause they love the whole Michael/Selene thing so thats why its done. Its nice to write Marcus as a bastard for a change makes a refreshing change lol.
