MrsGooglyBear: Thank you. I've been thinking about how Scud would fight Marco because Scud isn't much of a fighter. But I have got it now and I hope you really like it. I wasn't sure how the last chapter would turn out. I thought it was going to be a bit boring and more of a filler, but then I was like "No, I want to show a little bit of what Marco has done to Cara and show Scud preparing to fight and how he's been handling it"

I don't own anything that belongs to Blade 2, but I do own Cara and C.J.

It was midday and Scud, Blade, C.J and the familiars were on the roof of Marco's hideout, waiting for him to leave. Scud was tense and getting impatient, but the six hour wait was finally worth it when Marco stepped outside with a smirk. He tilted his head from side to side and Scud hissed to himself when he smelt Cara on his older brother. He went to jump down but Blade pulled him back and shook his head at him.

"Wait until he leaves" he ordered, "That way he won't come running back if something goes wrong. I'll scout ahead first and disable the alarms and traps. When I give the signal, you follow me, and then C.J. Keep a few familiars on guard while the rest go the back way"

"How long will he be gone for?" C.J asked.

"An hour roughly"

"We can do this" Scud said as he rubbed his bottom lip, "In and out as fast as we can"

"Remember, on my signal" Blade said before he went inside the building.

BLADE2

Cara had never felt this weak before and she was worried that Scud wasn't going to make it in time. She could hardly keep her head up and couldn't contact Scud due to the lack of blood. The only time she had blood was the day before, and that was when she bit Marco; but it wasn't enough to satisfy her thirst. Even though she was a vampire, she knew that she was going to get scars on her body from the silver chains. They weren't going to be bad, but it still upset her because it would be a reminder of the torture she went through. But that was if she survived.

The only things that were keeping Cara alive at them moment were Scud and C.J. If she didn't have those two in her life she would have given up days ago. She always stayed strong and fearless in front of Marco, but as soon as he left Cara would crumble and let herself be weak. She didn't want Marco to see that he was getting to her; he would like it too much.

"Cara?" a familiar voice called out, "Cara, are you in here baby?"

"Josh?" she croaked. She shook her head as she cleared her throat then looked over at the door. "Josh is that you? I'm not imagining things am I?"

"You're not imagining baby" he laughed, "I'm here. So is C.J"

"I love you mum!" C.J shouted.

"I love you to baby" she cried, "I'm so glad you're here"

"Cara, are there any traps on your side of the door?" an unfamiliar deep voice asked.

"No. Marco never sets up traps in this room, something along the lines of not hurting me"

She heard Scud scoff on the other side of the door and smiled to herself. She went to speak but stopped when she heard a crash on the other side of the door. She nervously gulped then let out a small scream as the door exploded. Cara shut her eyes as she looked away then gasped as she felt two pairs of arms hug her tightly. Instantly her eyes snapped open and she smiled as she realised it was Scud and C.J. She kissed the tops of their heads then C.J pulled out a bolt cutter from his bag and cut the silver chains as fast as he could. When the chains fell to the ground Cara jumped away from them and into Scud's arms.

"I'm so glad you're alive" Scud whispered as he tightened his grip around her waist, "I thought I wouldn't see you again. The familiars took too long to train and I thought we would be too late"

"You're here now that's all I care about"

"Mum" C.J cried as he joined in the hug. Cara pulled him in for a tight hug and kissed the top of his head as he started to cry. "I missed you so much mum, I was so scared"

"It's alright C.J. I'm fine and we're going to get out of here" she said.

"It's a good idea. We need to leave now because we don't have much time left" Blade said.

The small family nodded then followed him out of the hideout, but stopped when they saw Marco standing at the doorway and holding David by the throat. Cara hissed as she pulled C.J behind her body while Scud stood in front of her. Marco chuckled then before Scud or Cara could do anything, he slit David's throat and threw him on the ground like a ragdoll. C.J screamed as he hid his face in Cara's back so she spun around and placed her hand on the back of his head to make sure he couldn't see any more of what Marco would do.

Marco hoped that his plan worked, but the two vampires and Blade weren't showing the reaction he expected from the blood. He growled under his breath then went to take a step back but as he turned around, Scud was standing in front of him with a glare on his face. He took a small step back from the intense glare then tensed up as he felt another cold body up against his own.

"Blade, I want you to take C.J and Cara out of here" Scud said, "This fight is between me and Marco"

"I'm not letting you fight him alone" C.J growled.

"C.J" he warned.

"But dad"

"No! Blade is in charge now; you listen to his orders and protect your mum for me. Can you do that for me?"

C.J hesitated then slowly nodded before grabbing his mum's hand. Cara stared at Scud concerned and when he looked at her he nodded at her with his lips pressed in a thin line. She nodded in return then followed Blade away from the two brothers.

BLADE2

When Scud was sure Cara, C.J and Blade were safe he looked back over at Marco and clenched his fist tightly. Marco smirked as he licked his bottom lip then swung his knife around and Scud growled as he crouched down in a defensive position. He was a lover, yes. But Marco hurt Cara and that brought out his fighter side. He hadn't much training, but he believed that he had a small advantage with strength and speed. He knew that Marco was used to fighting vampires, but Scud wasn't like any other vampire. Scud was Marco's little baby brother, surely he wasn't cruel enough to murder him in cold blood.

Even though he wouldn't admit it, Marco was worried and a little bit scared. Scud was a mated vampire, and Marco had kidnapped his mate. He had tortured her, raped her and almost killed her more than once. Marco had only gone against a mated vampire once and had barely escaped with his life, but that was because the vampire was only a few months old and didn't have much experience. Scud had been a vampire for just over sixteen years so he would be a lot stronger. Both brothers' knew each others weaknesses, and they both knew each others strong points.

Marco just had to make sure he wouldn't get cut. He knew that if he started to bleed, even if it was a tiny scratch, he would be dead in an instant. The smell of the blood from a vampire's mate's attacker was the worst thing for the attacker. The mated vampire would let his instinct take over and the attacker would be dead in less than a minute.

"I could smell you inside her" Scud said, snapping Marco out of his thoughts. "Did you really think that you could rape my woman and get away with it?"

"To be honest I wasn't expecting her to live"

"So that gives you the okay?"

"If she was going to die she needed to know how a real man could treat her"

Scud growled then charged at Marco and swung his prosthetic arm to cut him with the knife at the end, but Marco blocked the attack with his own knife. He clenched his teeth from the strength then cried out in pain as Scud kicked him in the gut and fell to the floor. He groaned as he sat up then quickly rolled out of the way of Scud's knife as he swung his arm down. Marco stood up on his feet and went to run to his desk to grab his UV ray, but Scud grabbed him by the back of his shirt and threw him into the wall. He groaned as he fell to the ground then as Scud walked towards him he threw his knife but Scud easily dodged it.

"You stupid, fucking vampire!" Marco snapped.

"Is that all you have dear brother?" Scud taunted.

"I'm just getting started you mother fucker. When I'm finished with you I will kill your son and rape Cara once more before I kill her" he knew that mentioning Cara and C.J was a bad idea, but he wasn't listening to his brain at the moment. "You're not going to win Joshua. I have always been stronger than you. You're the weak one in the family. Always have been always will be!"

Scud growled then kicked Marco in the stomach and he groaned in pain. "You stay away from my family" another kick was delivered. "You're lucky that it's only me that you're fighting" a punch to the face. "I nearly had to threaten my own son to make sure he wouldn't fight you!"

"You can't kill me Scud" Marco laughed, "You don't have it in you"

Scud let out a sharp breath as he paced back and forth then punched Marco in the face again. He grabbed him by the front of his shirt then dragged him up and slammed him against a nearby table. Marco laughed again then kicked his brother off him and tackled him to the ground. Both brothers winced at the pain then Marco grabbed Scud's prosthetic arm and snapped it, making Scud cry out in pain. Marco shoved his knee into Scud's neck then gasped in fear as Scud bit his knee, instantly drawing blood. He quickly got away from the vampire and went to cover up the wound but Scud lunged at him faster than before and roughly bit his wrist. Marco groaned at the pain then spotted a crowbar so he reached for it and swung it at Scud's head.

When Scud pulled away from Marco, he ripped the skin and closed his eyes at the smell of blood. He smiled as he licked his lips then opened his eyes and noticed Marco was hiding. He chuckled as he looked around then saw a faint red smoke heading up the stairs so he followed it.

"Come out, come out. Where ever you are" he said slowly. He heard Marco's heartbeat race and he chuckled as he walked towards the sound. "You can't hide from me Marco. You're bleeding, I can hear you heartbeat. It speeds up as I come closer to you. Did you know that? I can also see a faint red smoke, do you know what that means?" he knew he wasn't going to get a response so he continued to taunt his brother. "It's your scent. Whenever someone bleeds, all I have to do is follow the smoke and it takes me to them. Sure you can cover it, but it's still there. I am going to have so much fun with you big brother"

Marco narrowed his eyes angrily at the wall in front of him then tensed up as he saw Scud's feet in front of him. He pulled his hands closer to his chest then Scud crouched down and smiled at him like a little boy on Christmas. Marco glared at him then aimed his UV ray at his face but Scud quickly jumped away and onto the table. Marco screamed in anger then rolled out from under the table just as Scud slammed the table onto the ground and flattened it. Marco let out a quick sigh of relief as he stood up then felt two sharp pains on his neck; one on each side. His mouth fell open in shock, but then he realised Scud was still in front of him and smirking. When the pains left his neck he weakly turned around and saw Cara and C.J glaring at him with blood dripping out of their mouth. It was the last thing he saw before he passed out and hit the ground with a thud.

When Marco woke up he realised he was tied up to a chair. He knew that Scud was nearby so he kept his eyes closed to trick him that he was still knocked out.

"I know that you're conscious Marco. I can hear your heartbeat" Scud snapped.

"Thought you would have killed me by now" Marco muttered, "I knew you were too weak to kill me"

"No. Before I kill you I want to have a little fun" he grinned.

Yay I finally updated lol. I hope you're not too angry at me. I hope you all liked the fight between Marco and Scud. I think I might have made Scud a bit psycho in this chapter, but tell me what you think of his new attitude.
