Chapter 4

Lucian walked around, in and out of each bathroom, and closet. He was surprised to see clothes appearing out of the middle of nowhere.

"This woman is a piece of work," Lucian whispered in amazement.

He heard a knock on his door, he was puzzled as to why he hadn't heard the foot steps he heard Michael, Selene, and Leah moving about.

"Come in," he said.

It was Victoria, her smile was genuine. "Your puzzled about why you couldn't hear me coming; don't try and deny it I can hear your thoughts." Victoria chuckled at the last bit.

Lucian replied, "Well in that case, why can't I sense you?"

"Let me show you," Victoria answered "Try not to let your eyes go black, if they do look away the light will hurt your eyes. Heck! It hurts my eyes!"

Victoria hung her head down in a relaxed manner as well as her body. Bluish white and greenish light spiraled around her when it faded; Lucian was gawking at the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen. She had green eyes, blonde hair that was split in half top and bottom. The top was pulled back in a ponytail like his and the bottom cascaded down to meet her lower back. The garments she wore where a pale blue with silver embroidery from a land unknown for they seemed ancient yet elegant, she must have had short underneath a long floor length skirt with slits all the way up to her waist only covering the front and back. It was held up by a silver belt; her upper body was barely covered, a long piece of fabric spiraled down her arms and looped around her middle finger her breast were covered by a fabric that met her breast valley with an side ways 8 shaped clip. The fabric formed X's down her back reveling two tattoos. One in Japanese on her left shoulder blade and the other on the right side of her lower back in a language he couldn't make out. Along with a scar running right down her spine which sent a painful tingle through Lucian's body; to his shock, she had pointed ears and her navel pierced four times a hole on the top, bottom, right, and left.

Victoria giggled, "I'm an elf from a world called Middle Earth. Elves can walk on water, snow, mud, grass, and just about anything without leaving a foot print or making a sound. We are immortal, masters of archery, swordsmanship, reading, writing, and language. Elves were the first to speak and write. I am the most powerful for that matter, so I can move thought all sorts of dimensions. Although I'm respected, I am feared by all. Only one elf and one man have dismissed the gossip and have befriended me, their names are Legolas Greenleaf hair to the throne of Mirkwood; he's the elf and man is Aragorn son of Arothan hair to the throne of Gondor. You may meet them someday...... OH STOP GAWKING!!!"

Lucian snapped out of his dazes and asked, "Have you always had these powers or abilities…I mean, since you were born and why don't you stay like this more often?"

Victoria replied "Well people would stand there gawking at me like you did. As for my powers and abilities they were always there, but after I mastered a few I got a new one, so I got them gradually. Hay why don't you take a shower then come downstairs for dinner, No! you have to take a shower."

As she turned to leave, Lucian said "Thank You". Lucian was still taken back by Victoria's untamed beauty. He wondered if she could seduce her enemies by looking at them, for he had the taste of lust in his mouth while she was in front of him. All Victoria had for protection was a bow, a quiver of arrows and 2 ivory handled things that looked like long daggers. Not wanting to keep everyone waiting, he hoped in to the shower.

Further down the Hall Victoria stopped at Leah's door. Before knocking Victoria's mind was taken by Leah's racing thoughts. She could also hear her attempting to say what she was thinking but her mind went faster than her mouth. Victoria clearly sensed that she was scared as hell, even a human could tell. She decided to bring her an elvish drink that would calm her nerves and mind. By the time she was downstairs, Selene, Michael, and Lucian were down stairs sitting on the bar chairs in the kitchen. Victoria was baffled at how quickly Lucian took a shower then again lycans didn't like baths. She took out three glasses and a pitcher of blood and left it on the counter for them.

"If you want food just name the dish and it will appear in front of you," Victoria said as she took out a silver goblet with elvish designs and a(n) interesting looking maroon bottle. She poured a fair amount into the goblet. "I have to go give this to Leah."

Michael was skeptical about the whole food appearing thing, but Lucian on the other hand, believe it and would bet their life on it. Selene was busy drinking her 2nd blood for it wasn't livestock like she expected, it was cloned blood. She wondered if Victoria owned a company similar to Ziodex which the coven owned.
