Sorry for taking forever to upload this chapter, I've been putting this off for a while, actually for months. ( I'm discouraged to continue due to the lack of reviews. Come on people, hundreds of hits and 2 reviews for the previous chapter? I'm DYING!

"Leave us," commanded the Elder. The Death Dealers obediently left. He slowly got up and walked towards Selene. "So, it seems that the infamous traitor of Viktor's Mansion has returned. He just had to change you didn't he? A lowlife like you didn't deserve the gift of immortality…"

Selene could feel her blood boiling under her skin. She may have killed Viktor, but deep down she had still loved him like a father. What does Marcus know? He wouldn't understand…

"Served him right, slayed by his own-"

Marcus was interrupted by a well aimed punch to his face courtesy of Selene. The Elder stumbled back a few feet. He wiped the blood that was gushing out of his now busted lip and backhanded Selene.

Michael winced. He saw Selene fly across the crypt and landed hard against one of the pillars. Something stirred inside of him. His urge to rip Marcus to shreds was getting stronger. Perhaps it was just his alpha male instincts, just to show Marcus who was the bigger male. Michael didn't give it a second thought as he saw Marcus heading towards Selene, preparing to finish her off.

Marcus raised his arm, and with a satisfaction, was about to strike the final blow, but his fist never made contact with Selene.

She closed her eyes and readied herself for the strike. When it didn't come, she blinked and saw Michael, his hand covering Marcus's fist, stopping his blow, hissing and snarling at the Elder.

Marcus growled and with a grunt, threw Michael as hard as he could. The Hybrid crashed into the nearest wall, leaving a human-sized crater in the stone surface. Before Michael even realized it, Marcus was right beside him, clawing and beating him to a bloody pulp.

Selene continued to stare at the two Hybrids duking it out, not knowing what to do. For the first time since she was turned, the vampiress was helpless. She couldn't do anything, they were too strong, she would just get in the way. Her mind began to numb. She hadn't felt so hopeless since her family was slaughtered.

Andraia waved a hand, her brows knitted in worry and anxiety, "Selene! Aren't you going to do something? Michael's getting schooled!"

"What do you want me to do? They're Hybrids!"

Andraia winced, she had forgotten that Selene may be experienced but still out of their league. They were fast, strong and better than her in every physical aspect. In the short time she had known Selene, Andraia had never seen her so…weak and vulnerable. She continued to watch the two Hybrids slash at each other, driven by animalistic rage and fury. She could tell that every hit that Michael took pained Selene, even if she wouldn't admit it. By now, both hybrids were beginning to tire, but Marcus still had the upper hand, each blow weakening and slowly killing Michael. Andraia shook her head in frustration.

"Bite me!"

Selene groaned, "This is no time for your silly attitude, I'd like you to do bett-"

Andraia looked at the ground, "No really, bite me!"

So how 'bout it? A review or two, come on! I only update as fast as they come in!
