Hey guys. I know the last chapter really sucked. But I had to sacrifice some stuff to do what I want to do with this story. And yes, I know I know, Why in the bloody world is Marcus there?! Well. You will find out in this chapter.

Again, I have to give HUGE thanks to Evelyn. Because, Not only is she doing pictures for me, but she has been giving me VERY good ideas for my story. So, just incase my story might seem like I ripped it off of someone or it sounds familiar to any of you, Evelyn had a story similar to mine but I am telling you guys I have no intentions of copying of her. Me and her just have sort of the same ideas… well… let me stop babbling about, Evelyn knows what I'm talking about, heh. So, Please try to at least enjoy this chapter. Oh and, read Evelyn's stories, Song To The Siren, and Chorus of Dark Revelation. They are both awesome stories. J

Chapter Seven: Boogieman?

Marcus looked Selene over. Wow. For once in his life, he never knew how beautiful she looked. Even with that gun she gave off a protective sent but with the soft side wanting to get out. Marcus looked her over. He had never seen her in anything other then her black latex outfit, corset, trench coat, and boots. Yet here she stood in a pair of tight black slacks, same boots she always wore, and a black strapless top. Her hair had gotten longer. It now hung right above her chest and it looked a lot thicker. Wow! She even had makeup on! Boy was this weird. But he liked it.

"Please… Put the gun down." Marcus told Selene. Selene cocked her gun.

"And why should I? After all I have been put through?!" She shouted at him. Marcus looked at the ground.

"I know, you have every right to hate me, but I didn't have anything to do with the war. I was trying to put an end to it and make peace with the Lycans." Marcus told Selene. He looked up at her. His eyes were soft. Selene couldn't just shoot him. He looked so helpless. But why should she care? Why would he ever tell the truth? After all no one else has. She knew she couldn't have trusted him. Not after almost everyone that she had ever known has lied to her. Asia, was different, She had not even known about the war. She was born into a different life. She was the same age as Selene and she had never lied, not once to her face. She was the only person she could trust, she knew it with in her heart and soul.

"Fine. But If you make any sudden moves, that's it your dead." Selene lowered her gun and looked at Marcus. His eyes looked like he had not slept in weeks. He was dirty and looked as if he had not had a shave in weeks.

"Thanks Selene. You won't regret it, I promise." Marcus promised her. "Do you think I could clean up a bit before we talk?" Marcus asked. Selene nodded.

"Yeah. There is a bathroom up stairs, second door on your left. Don't even think about going in any other rooms." Selene warned. He nodded and picked up his bag as Selene and him walked to the bathroom.

----

Selene changed into a pair of white shorts and a black long sleeve shirt. She removed her makeup and brushed the hair spray from her hair, before sitting outside of the shower to make sure Marcus did not go into any of the rooms. When he was done he came out of the shower wearing a pair of black slack like pants and a black shirt. His muscles where easily seen though his shirt capturing Selene's attention she wondered why she kept staring at his toned body but shook it off as they walked down the stairs.

"So speak. What are you doing here?" Selene asked as they sat at Selene's kitchen table. Marcus nodded and began to speak up.

"When I had awoken back in Budapest, Ordoghaz was in utter Chaos. I tried to re-organize everything but nothing seemed to work. Next thing I knew I was thrown out. Everyone had decided, I was not Vampiric enough and they chose a new leader. After I had herd about what Viktor and Kraven had gotten them selves into I thought, 'Those fuckers should have listened to me.' I kept telling them not to worry and that I would fix everything considering I was and still the oldest living vampire. But it looks as though they have not learned their lesson." Marcus said. Selene was taken back, this guy who did not look a day over 25 was the oldest living vampire? Wow.

"What are you talking about? You knew?!" Selene questioned. Marcus sighed.

"Yes. I knew. But I was trying to make peace with the Lycans. Nothing seemed to work and the last thing I remember when I was awake was telling Amelia to make peace. She never listened. No one ever listened. They all listened to Viktor because he looked the oldest. Just because I don't look it does not mean I'm not the oldest" Marcus went on. "I never thought it would go this far. If only I would have woken in time" Marcus glared at Selene. She felt her cheeks get hot with embarrassment.

"Oh. I don't think clearly when I'm angry." Selene admitted. Marcus nodded.

"I can tell." He scolded a little but not too much. Selene sat back.

"But if you knew, why didn't you just change our orders. I mean, shit, if you would have told me Viktor killed my family a few 100 years ago, I just might have had the chance to rekindle what had been taken." Selene sighed. Marcus reached out to touch her hand, but she yanked it away. He put his hands up.

"Sorry that I did not find out till I was awakened. I'm sorry to hear about Michael." Marcus told Selene she nodded.

"Me too" She got up and walked to her fridge and got out a pack of blood. "So what did Viktor tell you when he brought me in?" Selene asked as she poured the blood into a small pot and began to warm it over the stove.

"He said that he found a lost vampire who was passed out in an alley from not eating. Of course he had just turned you but, I swear Selene, if I would have known what he did in the beginning I would have killed him." Marcus honestly stated. Selene smiled a little as she poured the blood into two cups.

"Thanks." Selene said bringing the cup to Marcus.

"So what are you doing here? How come you aren't with Michael?" Marcus asked. Selene took a sip as her face dropped.

"He uh, He lied about everything. He made me a hybrid. We had come to find that non- natural born vampires can withstand a bit from both sides, just not right away." Selene informed Marcus. Marcus's eyes rose.

"I really am sorry, Selene. And, I know you feel like you can't trust anyone. And, I would never expect you to trust me, in a million years, I never would but… Do you think that just maybe you could trust me someday? Michael, you and I are the only hybrids. With Michael being a bad guy and it just being us two, and you may consider me as a bad guy, I don't care, but you can trust me. I can't lie anymore. I have nothing to keep, no secrets hiding. I just… I want to be able to live knowing that I have one person that either I can count on or they can count on me." Marcus looked into Selene's eyes. Selene couldn't help but stare back. She just noticed his eyes were wired but beautiful. One was a green with hazel specks in it and the other was blue with green specks in it. They were bright in the light. Selene smiled inside. Looking in his eyes made her warm, it was not the warm you get from being under the covers and get night sweats, the kind that made you feel wanted and cared for.

"I know, I have not been the most happy person in the last 100 years or so but, I've really changed. I don't really trust anyone but Asia. But I will think about it." Selene honestly started to Marcus. He nodded.

"I deserve that." Marcus gave a small smile, and got one in return.

"Your welcome to stay just please, don't go through my stuff." Selene told Marcus. He smiled.

"I won't. So, where do you work?" Selene started to blush.

"What?" Marcus began to laugh.

"A Bar" Selene said trying to hide her rosy cheeks.

"As what?" He asked He watched her blush more.

"A bartender" Selene said hiding her head in her arms. Marcus burst out in a fit of laughs.
"Shut up! It's not funny!" Selene told him. He laughed harder.

"Sorry. It's just… you…. A bartender?! HAHAHA." He laughed so hard. Selene sat back and pouted. Marcus stopped laughing and smiled.

"I'm just joking. It's fine Selene. Well, do you mind if I take a nap?" He asked. Selene nodded.

"Go ahead. Guest room is first door on your right." Selene informed him.

"Thanks Selene" He smiled as he got up with his drink.

"You're welcome. If you want something I'll be downstairs training and doing laundry" She told him. He held back some of his giggles of Selene being a domestic girl. She sighed and watched him walk up her stairs. Selene sighed again.

'Take your time. Maybe he is telling the truth.' Selene thought to herself.

"Time to call Asia. Looks like we need to pay a little visit to our friend Cyrus" Selene told herself.
