CHAPTER SEVEN MEETING WITH MARKUS
To everyone's surprise - and even her own - Erika's fist knocked outwards and collided with Carr's arm, causing the gun to skid across the ground. His surprise gave Selene enough time to pull her gun out and point it at the Lycan.
"Don't move," She said threateningly. Kahn picked up Carr's gun and tucked it away. Carr growled at her angrily.
"What are you doing back here?" He demanded.
"I need to speak with Michael," Selene said, her arms steady. Carr just let out a hollow laughter. It didn't seem normal at all. He took a step closer to her.
"Your precious HYBRID isn't here to protect you now," He said, his face snarling when he spat out 'Hybrid'.
Selene narrowed her eyes at him. "I don't need Michael to protect me," She said angrily.
Carr spat at her feet, hatred and disgust showing on his face. "Now that the Creature's been awoken, you will get what you deserve," He said.
"You know about the creature?" Erika asked, taking a step forward.
Carr spun his head, and looked her over, forcing her to nervously step back again. "I work for him," He said, a wicked smile crossing his lips.
Selene took her chance, and three gun shots sounded throughout the Lycan home. Carr fell to the ground, his body quickly shriveling and then disappearing. Selene's arm pulled back. "Not anymore," She said.
"What's going on out here!?" Someone shouted. People – Lycans – began to stir. Instantly, guns loaded with UV bullets were pointed at the three 'intruders'. Murmurs from the crowd emerged.
"Vampires," One said.
"So the word is true. She has returned," Another spoke softly. Someone strolled forward.
"Dismantle your weapons," The woman said. She met Selene's eyes. Seeing no choice, Selene surrendered, raising her arms and letting the gun slip from her hands. Erika and Kahn looked at each other, and then followed Selene's example.
The woman gestured to two men, who collected the guns. She didn't lower hers, though.
"We're only here to speak with Michael," Kahn said stiffly. Erika looked nervously around the room, but tried not to show her fear.
"Back down, Anaya," A familiar voice said. Simon stepped up. "Michael will see you," He told them.
The woman known as Anaya growled low at Simon. "We believe that they killed Carr," She said.
Simon searched Selene for any trace of truth. But her face remained stony. "Michael will sort it out."
"But Simon -."
"MICHAEL WILL SORT IT OUT," Simon said curtly, giving the woman a warning glare. She frowned, and then spun on her heels, marching out. "Follow me."
Without a word, they did as they were told and walked up to Michael's office, the Lycans staring curiously at this scene. Once the door was open, Simon gestured to the two chairs in the room. Erika and Selene sat, Kahn left standing. Wordlessly, Simon left the room. When he approached the 'mob scene' downstairs, he stopped to hear what they were saying.
"What's going on, Simon?"
"Why are there vampires here?"
"Does Michael know about this?"
"Please, go back to your rooms. Michael will make an announcement in the morning. Stay in your rooms until then," Simon instructed. The others were hesitant, but they did as they were told. With that, Simon went to Michael's room to tell him of Selene's arrival.
While Simon was doing that, Selene was pulled back to what Caelan had told her before she left. "You may be immortal, but in everything that is to come, life will be short lived. Don't pass up on love because you fear for what others may say. You've never been one to follow rules, don't start now."
Should Selene do as she was advised, and tell Michael about how she felt? It could wait until after everything had been taken care of, but she knew she had to tell him.
Erika turned to Kahn. "What if they've formed an alliance with the Lorkai?"
Selene's head jerked up, and she looked at the two of them, realization dawning on her.
"This could be a death trap," He told the two. Selene glanced out the window of the office, and then went to Kahn.
"Turn around," She instructed. He stared incredulously at her, but then did as she said. She pulled off the backpack that held pictures of surveillance from their spies, and other stuff they may have needed to convince Michael. She struggled for a moment, and then managed to unlatch a hidden part at the bottom. She pulled out two guns, and handed one to each of them.
"So that's why it was so heavy," Kahn commented.
"You had your doubts," Erika acknowledged, impressed as she took a gun.
Selene ignored the comment, and said, "In your coats, every pocket contains a package of bullets. You'll have to dig around for them because they've been hidden well." With that she took out a gun for herself.
"I thought you said we wouldn't hurt any of them?" Erika asked.
Selene looked at her. "If they're working with the enemy, there will be no reasoning," She stated. With that she locked her gun into place, hiding it in her boot.
Michael's room
Simon strolled into the room, staring at Michael, who was now gazing outside. "You'll be happy to know that Selene and two of her VAMPIRE friends have arrived," He snapped.
His angry attitude drew Michael to look at him, confused. Fury was sketched all over Simon's face.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"What's WRONG?" Simon demanded, taking a step inside, slamming the door behind him. "One of ours is dead. Remember Carr?"
"Selene did it?" It wasn't really a question.
"I don't think she should stay," Simon voiced. He tried looking confident. "It's one thing to joke with you, knowing she's not even near here. But I don't think it's safe for everyone else if she's to be here."
Michael looked down; embarrassed. "I know," He said softly. He met Simon's eyes as he then tossed him a gun. "Loaded with UV rays. If there's any trouble, I want you to shoot."
Simon stared at him in surprise. "You're choosing us over her?" He asked.
"I said if anything goes wrong. I won't be able to do it," He said simply with a shrug. "Don't make me regret giving you that gun, though. Where are they?"
"Your office," Simon stammered.
"Let's go then," Michael instructed. If it came down to it, he would have to defend these Lycans – they trusted him, and he HAD taken their position of leader. He had made his choice, now what was to come?
Michael pushed open the office door, Simon following quick in pace behind him. He refused to look at them until he was seated, though. When he did look up, his breath caught in his throat. There she was, sitting before him. Her face a disguise as always.
"Why are you here?" He asked, his voice sounding stronger than he felt.
"We've come to discuss a peace treaty," Selene said. Simon's surprise was evident.
"Just you three?" Michael asked, looking a bit confused.
"Markus has sent us," Erika stated. Selene threw her an annoyed glare for speaking up.
"We're here to discuss a peace treaty between the Lycans and the Vampires," Selene added.
"First, who's Markus?" Michael asked.
"He's the last remaining vampire elder," Simon reminded him. Michael nodded.
"If he's the leader, why isn't he here to discuss the terms of the treaty?" Michael demanded.
"Selene wouldn't tell him where you were," Kahn said. Selene winced at him saying this.
"For safety reasons," Selene said, getting irritated that the conversation was drifting from the main point. "I'm here to represent the vampires in any treaty; Erika and Kahn are for witnesses."
Michael fell silent. Finally, he said, "You really want peace?"
"Yes," Selene said.
"Then why are you still attacking us?"
Confusion crossed all of the vampire's faces.
"Attacking you?" Erika asked. She looked from Selene to Kahn, and then back at Michael. "None of us are left in this vicinity."
"She's right. All the vampires have been united under a different regime, in an entirely different area," Selene added. "And there are no Lycans where we are."
Michael and Simon exchanged glances. "Impossible," Simon stated. "We killed off at least thirty just a week before."
"The Lorkai," Erika said.
Selene looked at her, and then nodded. "Have you aligned yourselves with anyone else? Any other type of creatures?" She asked.
"No," Michael said slowly.
"Caelan," Simon reminded him.
"Right. There WAS a woman," Michael said. "We thought she was a vampire, which made us hesitant to side with her, but a certain situation called for the alliance. When she and I went in, it was revealed that she was something entirely different."
"Could you explain everything that happened?" Selene asked, now slightly interested. He had said the woman's name was Caelan, and that's who she had spoken to earlier. With that request, Michael began to tell his tale of what had recently happened.
Markus's quarters
Markus pushed open the door and stepped into the room. It appeared to be a large sitting room, but was actually his office. Closing the door he leisurely walked over to the fireplace and tossed a lit match in. The fire blazed, warming the room up. He slowly turned around, and looked at his desk. The comfortable chair was turned away.
"I know you're here," He said.
The chair spun around, and Caelan was staring back at him. "You know me oh too well," She said, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I've been a very naughty girl," Caelan said.
"You've been very stupid, that's what you've been. What were you thinking!?"
Caelan stood, and came around the desk to face him. "You said you wished Amelia's coven to be gone. Now it is."
"I never said to awaken Gaerwn," Markus snapped, now staring at her furiously.
"Calm down. Everything is falling into place."
"There's more than you're sharing, Caelan. What does your Father think of your betrayal?" Markus asked. Caelan grimaced.
"Don't you mean my Mother's?" She sneered. "It doesn't matter. He has no right to say what anyone should do. You know my Mother hated him."
"I see the subject of your Father still irks you. Where have you been lately?"
"I've become caught up in a few things."
"What are you up to, Caelan? I know you – I practically raised you. You've got a plan up your sleeves," Markus said.
"Aren't you the suspicious one? Alright, I'll share some of it. But first, I see you've done as I asked," She said, turning away.
"I didn't have much of a choice, Caelan. We need the Lycans help. We need all the help we can get," Markus admitted gravely.
A dark smile crept to Caelan's lips. "Yes. And sending Selene was an even better way of getting that peace," She said.
"What does Selene have to do with anything?" Markus demanded.
"It isn't just Selene, Markus. It's Michael, as well. They'll play a very crucial roll in what shall happen next." When she turned back to him, she had a crazed look in her eye.
"Is it really about them, Caelan?"
The woman laughed. "He's a hybrid, Markus – like you. His power is great, but neither he nor you are meant to defeat Gaerwn. But his grandchild ..." Caelan brought her fingers together, and cocked her head to the side, resting on her hands.
"You always said there was more to the story than just the fact that only a Hybrid would kill your Father." Markus grinned as Caelan looked angrily at him.
"As far as I'm concerned, YOU'RE my Father. You weren't the one locked away in a tomb," She said. Then nodded. "You're right, though. Come here."
He approached her beside the globe. "Look closely," She whispered. She waved her arm over the globe. Soon all the continents disappeared, and a milky mist formed around it. In the center, a picture began to emerge. Markus soon recognized Selene, Erika and Kahn on one side of the desk. The other had two men. One was obviously Michael, but he wasn't sure about the other. Probably a Lycan.
Caelan smirked. "They're talking about me," She said. "They think I'm the enemy."
"How exactly do they know you?" Markus inquired.
"I told you he had Kay. I acquired some assistance from Michael," She explained. Markus frowned.
"You just wanted to make yourself known," He accused. She just shook her head, her eyes drawn to one of the men. Markus couldn't hear what they were saying, but he caught the word, 'Michael' out of Selene's mouth, and the other man answered her. So that was his infamous counterpart. That would mean that Caelan was paying attention to the Lycan at his side. He studied her face, and caught a strange gleam in her eye. Markus wanted to gag. Caelan LIKED the Lycan! It was alright for any others, but Caelan was like his daughter. He wouldn't see her with the dog. He could stand working together, but not to see Caelan with one. Besides, she could never have a relationship.
"It was pure luck that your Vampire found Selene. Soon her daughter will be born. And after her, we'll be able to finally bring Gaerwn down." She waved her hand over the globe again, to reveal a young woman of about eighteen standing at a curb. Her loosely curled oak brown hair fell down the middle of her back. She had on brown leather and sunglasses. She looked around, before crossing the street.
"That's Sandra, future mother of our savior," She said.
"Show me her child," Markus commanded.
Caelan looked at Markus, and the globe returned to normal. "I can't even see the child. I don't know if it will be male or female. I know nothing."
"Then how do you know she will have the child?"
"Her future is already cast in stone. Michael and Selene's attraction is meant to bring about Sandra's existence. The father of the child isn't as fortunate. If he isn't conceived, Sandra's destiny could be altered."
"So why don't you tell the parents they need to have him?" Markus asked with irritation.
"It isn't that simple," Caelan snapped. "His parents aren't as likely to end up together. And if it doesn't happen naturally, it won't happen at all."
Markus stared at her. "You've been thinking about this for a long time, haven't you?"
"I want my peace. That can't happen if my Fa – if Gaerwn is still alive." She looked up at the ceiling. "I only have a few minutes left," She said softly. "Let me leave you with this – You are like Selene. You both have someone on your mind. Tell her, before it's too late."
She turned, but Markus caught her elbow. She looked back at him. "Stay away from the Lycan, Caelan," He warned. She narrowed her eyes at him and then pulled her arm back before disappearing.
Michael's office
"Now that you know that, can you explain to me why you killed Carr?" Michael asked.
Selene looked nervously to Kahn. "I think there was something Carr was hiding from you," Selene said slowly. "Now it's our turn to share a story with you."
...
(Well that's it for now. Let me know what ya think)
