Chapter XXIX

The boys listened in as the two started explaining everything from how they weren't seen or heard and saw the vampire like creatures hanging above them and lycans in the room.

They didn't go into too much detail of them as Hermione still recalled the rutting business going on and wanted to make no mention of it but Remus might have figured with her blushing and the way she continued on with their story, a bit of stuttering in her words before she cleared her throat, saying she needed some water and went to the bathroom to clear it from the tap and then came out again to hear Keller continue where she had left off.

When they told of the two queens that got everyone's attention. They described them very specifically and how they were playing a game of chess with a wolf by their side, a black one for the Dark queen and a white one for the White queen and then a prince named Alexander Corvinus came to them, demanding for power.

They agreed asking for something in return from him and said something was going according to 'plan' when he left.

"What did they asked for anyways, do you know what they wanted from this guy?" They asked as Keller and Hermione shrugged, clueless like everyone else, "We're not sure because they wouldn't have want to say it unless he refused their request."

What could it mean? What would two queens want from him? Everyone pondered these things before Remus spoke, "You said they were called the Queen of the Night and the Queen of the Moon, meaning they were obviously the rulers of the vampires and werewolves but I have never heard of them before. Not even in half the libraries books I've ever read about."

He in the past had been trying countless times to learn more of his kind and see if there had been a cure among them but no such luck for him. Hermione understood and looked to him as they tried to understand more on what they had seen.

Everyone was discussing on what the girls should do about what they had experienced. "Maybe you guys should write to Dumbledore and inform him what happen and see what he has to say about this?" James suggested.

"For all we know that whatever it was sounds like it connected to you two somehow and he might have a clue as to what it has to be with you."

"Yeah sure, maybe in more ways than one I bet..." Keller said as she was thinking about what she heard the Dark queen and the lycan lover had discuss, trying to see if there had been any clue to what they said.

It had to do with the plan they were talking about, having to do with Alexander Corvinus, the first Immortal of their kind and looked down at her signet ring on her finger only she had forgotten that she had left it back in her truck with her other things but she was thinking about what those two queens having to be in connection to her very great ancestor and them being the queen of vampires and lycans.

But it was Marcus and William who were the first, or so the stories been told.

Somehow she had a feeling there had been more than what her family's history had and her very great grandfather had kept a few skeletons in his closets then, never mentioning how he became an immortal, just surviving a plague and then having three kids and being the first immortal among mortals.

She was thinking back in the queen's chambers she had seen something that caught her eye inside her jewelry box before she and Hermione had disappeared from there and came right back here.

Inside the chest beside the necklaces and ring and other jewels, she had seen a broach that had looked like it was her pendant but wasn't really anything like it, more like something else than just apiece of jewelry.

It was black with red marks intricate with writing on it and in her head she was seeing the center being pressed, the sound of them clicking out and five red blades open out like a star and were used for…

Wait why had she been thinking that, the only other pendant that could do that was Hermione's but that other one, she actually had a feeling she knew what the other was used for, she had almost had it but then it stopped somehow. What could that have been used for exactly?

Keller rubbed her temple, trying to figure what she had been thinking and only Hermione noticed what her cousin was doing and was concern and asked if she was all right. She turned around and nodded, saying she was fine but a little bushed from their little 'trip' to wherever they went.

"I would have prefer a softer landing though other than hard stone and bruising my keister, it still sore thank you…" She said making up a wild excuse as Hermione looked at her worried and unsure, "If you say so Keller…"

She knew that she had something else on her mind and once she had it, she never spoke of it until she was ready with a reasonable explanation. Once everyone finished talking, they all decided to get some sleep and maybe discuss it further later in time.

They said goodnight again to the boys and headed to their rooms. Keller was still with Hermione before she finally said, "It's weird, Mione when I was in the queen's room before you came to find me, I saw she had a similar crest shape ornament like my pendant, only it was actually suppose to be a key to something else, just like yours is for the—" She covered her mouth, about to blab something out and hope she didn't heard or notice but Hermione wondering what she had been about to say, "My pendant is a key to what?"

"It's not important and would be better if you least forget I mention that plus never say this to anyone else, not even to Dumbledore if that's what you were thinking of mentioning to him."

"All right but why, why exactly is the big deal about my pendant?" Keller looked to her with a serious look, "Because anyone who would want that pendant would kill you to unlock something that the world should never dare have to face again no matter what."

"Keller what are you saying, that my own pendant is a key to unlock something dangerous, please tell me what you're talking about. I promise I won't breath this to a soul as long as I shall live, on my oath of my parents, Lucian and Sonja's graves…"

Keller sighed, finally giving in as she tried to hear if anyone was listening in on their conversation and then saying in a hush whisper for her ears alone, "Fine, here's the thing: that pendant you have, the one your mother had before she was killed and your father took it with him then my parents after, is a key, one of the two sets that locks the prison of William, Marcus' own brother, the first lycan of our kind."

Then she began reciting the story of how Marcus, Viktor and Amelia became the first elders due to hunting down Marcus' brother when he started causing disaster towards the country.

"William was going on a monstrous rampage back in the eleventh or twelfth century, killing people here, turning them into lycans there and Marcus had recruited the help of Viktor and Amelia, the two future elders of the convent as they were strong leaders and needed all the help he could get to capture his brother before any more chaos was done.

"They were able to caught William but Marcus was pissed because Viktor decided to have William imprisoned away from him at all times after they had made a sort of promise to not have his brother harm after they capture him and leave in his care."

She snorted as she sat cross-legged to her, "Hah fat chance, do you know what might have happen if he did. He thought he would be able to handle his crazy brother with the way William was only thirsty for blood and chaos and that would have been a totally screwed future for all of us I suppose. Now Viktor had locked him away in an ancient castle of his somewhere and I have no clue where it could be but my mom did.

"It was built by my own grandfather and she remember it's location only through her blood, the memories are always locked away in the blood you see, that's why they always had this awakening thing with the Elder passing down their memories when waking them up from hibernation after about two hundred years."

She went on before she got to the point of the story where she had to warn her not to speak this to anyone, "If somehow word got out to I don't know say, Voldemort, he could unleash William, like sicing a mad dog and having him turn everyone into a blood-thirsty lycans and later have them kill and done with all muggles or those standing in his way. Like spreading a plague if only uncontrollable in the hands of the likes of him."

"That's terrible, I can't even try to imagine what kind of future we might have it that happened," Hermione said, terrified at how the horrifying it would be if ever that was to be their future with a disease being passed without any way of stopping it before it spread further.

Keller stretch herself from her position and look to her watch, "Now if you excuse me, I'm off to bed, goodnight Mione and please take into consideration of what I told you and keep this to yourself." She nodded as Keller got up to head to the door but Hermione had one thing in her mind that she was curious about that she had made mention before, "Ok, but I have one more question Kell, who had the other key? You said there were two keys, who has the other then?"

Keller turn to look at her and said, "Well ok but you might not like it. It's with Viktor, kept at all times of course. He wouldn't dare trust giving it to Marcus, knowing he would be allowing him to let his own brother run amok and unable to stop him like last time."

And left, leaving her in a state of shock thinking that the man, the one who had her mother executed and started the whole war, was also holding the other key to William's cell and that if any word reach to anyone's ear of this, than their fates would be spelled in doom with what could be unleashed into the world.

He was growing impatient as he and his follower were in the dark room they used for their meeting and was waiting for those who had not yet return or come up with anything to inform him about the two girls, Hermione Lucian and Keller Corvin, the two hybrid that would be of good use to him once he learned more of their background history.

The ones spying in the ministry had came up with nothing in their files in the department for registering wizards, checking in all the 'C' and 'L' and coming up with no 'Corvin' or 'Lucian' but still kept searching, knowing there had to be some information or else they would have to face their master's wrath if they fail to bring in anything.

He growled as his patience was growing thin before turning to the squirming group, wanting to set a few with curses and tortures their way but he could save his energy to those who were to report back to him and be punished if they had nothing for him.

Nagini crawled around his leg and whispered in his ear in Parseltongue, 'They're back masstterr…they have returnnnn…'

Voldemort saw them arrive as he waited to hear what they had to report as they all bowed their heads, one speaking for the leader to him from the ministry.

"We looked in all the files registered for all wizarding families but there was none informing us of the Lucian's or the Corvin's but we did find something else in the other department of Regulation of Dangerous Creature my lord." And he wait, listening as they related the details of what they said found of their family.

"According to the report on Lucian, he was a lycan leader in Budapest who lead the war against the vampires from the early twelfth century, reason are unknown and even after his death by the hands of a Death Dealer named Kraven, the war continues on against the vampires and of the three elders that reign there. Viktor, Marcus and Amelia…"

"And why may I ask is naming these three might be important." He had wanted to know more of the Lucian but finding out the said 'father' was dead and only his child was alive didn't give him much as he would have liked to see to their advantage.

But then another picked up where his fallen comrade had been, "Because my lord, we believe we may have found out who the other girl's father…" and started explaining the details on coming across the information of the Corvinus family and Voldemort's thin lips pulled back in a twisted smile and said in a hissing tone, "Ah excellent, this is indeed quite good for us as we might have use for her and her 'father' after all when we bring them to our side. I want one of you to find this said 'Kraven' as I feel he might be some use to us, if he had killed a powerful leader…" He had doubts but he could have some idea that this Kraven might have a few secrets behind his closet and pull them right out.

One person, larger than the rest, stepped forward and bowed, "My lord, I have something to say about the matter on the rumored death of Lucian, the former lycan leader."

Voldemort turn to him, curious on what he had to say, "One of my own followers believes him to be alive somehow, even after his death was renown through our kind, she thinks she might know as she had been shadowing the vampires for years without their knowledge." He appraising her impressive work to his lord who listen keenly to what he said, "She kept track of everyone of their foul kind, knowing each Death Dealers' name and possible weakness and has followed this Kraven numerous times, saying he met with this other who works against the vampire."

"Ah even more interesting, how ironic that a regent that said to have killed a Lycan leader is helping with the lycans to destroy his own kind, how he might be some use will be decided later when he is brought to me and you, tell me of the one you speak so that I may discuss with her of what she knows of this other lycan named 'Lucian'."

Fenrir Greyback smiled, showing his long yellow teeth, "Her name is Leyba and I will do as you command my lord."
