Teaser
The wind of the cold night whistled through the abandoned community center like the cry of a werewolf. It had been 24 hours precisely, the small private jet had left London as soon as the next night had begun to dawn, they would get there before any human investigators, or worse the cleaning staff. What remained of his fellow pureblood, meant alot to Patrick, though Marcus maybe right in his own mind it didn't mean he was right to kill them off, those he knew about.

"I want every single piece of that ash pile collected as soon as possible", he barked at the, 'infected' vampire familiar that was already bending down with the vacuum collector over the remains. "You two go and stand on watch, Lucifer wants this completed as soon as vampirely possible", he told the other two , 'infected' familiars, both armed with sub machine guns, and allowing himself to smile at his own pun. Marcus Van Sciver didn't kill off all the purebloods in Chthon, and soon his position of power was going to disintegrate, within the next 52 hours.

May 2008

Chthon HQ Vancouver Hotel - Detroit

The doors of Marcus's office flung open with incredible force, which both annoyed but also intrigued him. Some one had the temerity to fore themselves into his office, despite his new position as the Overlord of Chthon. 'This could be interesting', he thought quietly to himself. "It's okay", he said to his sectary as she walked to the open doors, with a dismissive wave. It was either going to be important business or something of a very personal nature, he was half tempted to dismiss Krista from the office while he dealt with his, 'visitor' but he didn't, she needed to learn about their houses' operations abroad. Standing there in front of his desk was a teenager, his eyes reflecting the half moon outside through the class windows behind Marcus. But in reality he was over 30 years old and an, 'infected' vampire an important one too. Marcus's sly smile vanished as he saw the excitement and fright in the vampire's eyes.

"Lucifer, may I introduce you to my familiar Krista? Krista this is Lucifer Martin", he said getting up out of his chair and walking over to her to get Lucifer's attention to her. He liked to flout all the, 'perks' he now had being the leader of the House of Chthon. Sometimes to the extremes that some vampires in the other houses as well as his own thought the best way to deal with him was to let his go slowly mad on his new power and kill himself with it. Lucifer though didn't turn as Marcus walked passed him. He had seen pictures of Krista before in the intelligence files and also from what the rumors that were circulating about the, 'couple'.

"Marcus save me to pompous crap, unlike you I don't let the power I have go to my head", he said still facing front as he spoke, before turning around to look Krista straight in the face, "Or any other part of my body, it's nice to finally see you Krista Starr". What he said was purposely meant to infuriate Marcus as that would help him accept what he had to tell him, and provoke the response the girl had wanted.

Krista just looked at the new vampire, he was young, teenager in appearance, black haired and had a strong London accent. A Brit vampire. But also he had something about him like Marcus that told her not to completely trust him, though who could she really trust anymore? He was younger then her but seemed more sure of himself, almost as cocky as Marcus.

Marcus was angered by what Lucifer had said,he knew he wasn't exactly the most the most trust able vampire in the world but he was the Leader of the House Of Chthon, surely such a position made him immune from any real ridicule from those below him and from being gossiped about. But obviously not, which angered him. Was his private life and motives really anybodies business anymore except his own, (and on a limited basis) Krista's? The look of the fright in Lucifer's eyes was the only thing that was stopping Marcus from ashing him right there on the spot. 'Whatever or whoever he's frightened of it has to be a big problem otherwise why has he come to me?', Marcus thought to himself walking back over to behind his desk but not sitting down, instead just standing there as causally as he could.

"Lucifer your on very thin ice, so I suggest you get tho the point , otherwise...", Marcus said threateningly pointing towards his silver tribal axe.He was in no mood to play one of Lucifer's games of keeping people in suspense, especially with the traitor Chase dropping off the radar so easily after his success at the Conclave. She was out to kill him he knew that much, but how and with who?

"I'm glad to see that you've kept your directness Marcus, it should make my visit here very easy and short", Lucifer replied keeping his facial expression serious and neutral placing as much empahis as he could on the word, 'short',"The possibilty of a second war has become more pronounced in the UK, we need 6 canisters the Aurora keyhole virus to take out the last remaining purebloods in the other 10 houses that are there, we can't move on to agreed stage 2 of the plan until then".

Krista's eyes widened at the new vampires request, or order, (she couldn't tell which it was). He wanted Aurora? Was he mad, power hungry or just speaking the truth? Again she wasn't sure as this Lucifer wasn't the easiest person to read, like Marcus. Just a blank face. But she knew that Marcus wasn't going to let him have a single canister never mind 6 without a good reason, he was privy it seemed to Marcus's plan fro the ongoing war, whatever that was or was it his own plan to deal with the other houses in Great Britain? Krista looked at Marcus shocked.

"Marcus, me and my colleague will be sleeping here until enough of the virus is manufactured and his personal business here is also concluded",Lucifer said flatly, "Please make the necessary arrangements". With that he quietly turned his back on Marcus and walked towards the door, praising the gods in his mind that he was still alive... for now anyway. The reputation of the daywalking son of Erebus was nothing compared to Marcus's.

"You not going to give him it are you?", Krista asked Marcus a few moments after Lucifer had left.

"I don't know yet, me and Lucifer go back", Marcus replied not looking at Krista but the door the, 'young' turned vampure had walked out of, pondering the development it had brought to him, "He was my boss when Charlotte sent me to Britain to gain experience, but with Lucifer you can't tell his motives but it is unlike him to demand like this unless he was in real trouble".

Blades New Headquarters - Detroit

"Blade, theres new vampires in the Chthon building", Shen said looking over to his, 'colleague', "Blade?". But Blade didn't move or respond to Shen he just stood there by the metal serum cabinet looking at the picture. Shen noticed Blade always stared at that picture after he meditated. Like anything to do with his past Blade had kept tight lipped about who she was but Shen could tell the signs of regret even in his friendand,'business' partner. Sighing Shen returned his attention back to the computer system monitors. It was just another thing he would have to find out about later.
Chase watched as the human returned his focus to his computers, and snaked her slender figure out quietly form her hiding place in the three walled corner near the cell, walking right up behind Blade. "Hello Daywalker", she said confidently as she smirked, and got ready to duck.

Part 2

Blades New Headquarters - Detroit

"Blade, theres new vampires in the Chthon building", Shen said looking over to his, 'colleague', "Blade?". But Blade didn't move or respond to Shen he just stood there by the metal serum cabinet looking at the picture. Shen noticed Blade always stared at that picture after he meditated. Like anything to do with his past Blade had kept tight lipped about who she was but Shen could tell the signs of regret even in his friendand,'business' partner. Sighing Shen returned his attention back to the computer system monitors. It was just another thing he would have to find out about later.

Chase watched as the human, Shen returned his focus to his computers, and snaked her slender figure out quietly form her hiding place in the three walled corner near the cell, walking right up behind Blade. "Hello Daywalker", she said confidently as she smirked, and got ready to duck.

Blade swung around,as soon as he heard chase's voice, one hand reaching for the garlic shotgun. "Shen", he barked out as he turned, giving him the order to arm up and get ready to fire. there was no-one there as Chase had already ducked. Blade titled his head down slowly as to start looking for the blonde haired Chthon vampire. As soon as his eyes saw her she leaped forward inot his legs sending him crashing to the floor, before getting up again. "Shen don't", Blade said his voice the same cool but angry one, as he breifly caught his breath on the floor before standing up opposite his opponent, "I ash vampires, you don't". "But Blade", Shen argued back keeping the modified automatic pistols pointed at Chase, after the fight to get out of The Matardor Hotel Shen felt more confident in his ability to fight vampires, he wanted some of the action now instead of just leaving it all to Blade. "I said no Shen", Blade repeated his voice still the same and not showing any anger, except the normal contempt he had for vampires.

"How do you want to be ashed?", Blade asked Chase.

"I don't" chase replied smirking, high kicking Blade in the chest with her high heel and punched him in the neck forcing him to stumble backwards slightly. Shen's fingers tightened on the triggers, but he didn't fire. He didn't want to get Blade angry as he was the only one that could find the vampires that drained his father, and the fight between the two of them was to hetic for him to keep a reasonable sight on Chase to shoot her and not Blade.

"Say what you have to say before I ash you", Blade replied the,'tip' of his blunted sword only a few millimetres from her neck. blade was used to vampires begging for their lives,it helped him to keep thinking they were pathetic. If they were really able to fight him, (even after the effect the failed Daystar virus had had on him, weakening him) and he thought they could defeat him, then he would begin to think of them as equals nothing more. Equals but not family, and still all deserving to die. Hearing the famous Chase plead for her life though was different somehow to Blade, she was one of the worst vampires in the new colonies, a good fighter, but obviously not good enough.

"I made charlotte a promise", Chase said in her normal, superior yet inquisative tone, keeping her eyes on Blade and not the sword he had to her throat. She was scared that she was going to die but did not want to show it to the daywalker or anyone, either in her voice or by her boady language. Smilling she kept her eyes on her would be murderer, "I promised her that I would kill Marcus before she was killed in the aeroplane, I gave her the sword you left as a,'runner up prize' for Marcus two years ago in the warehouse". Her smile widened a little as she recalled Marcus's attitude when he returned from that incident, and how he described it.

"B***s**t", Blade replied his tomne reflecting the slight anger he was feeling at her game.What was she doing? why was she telling him this supposed truth, when she knows she should be begging for her life? What she did say though had forced Blade to think about things, things like Krista."And Marcus didn't kill Charlotte I ashed her", he added as if making a point, keping himself from drving the tip of his sword into her throat. Ashing Charlotte felt good, and something told Blade chase would be just as statisfying, but he ignored it.

Shen looked at them both from his wheeled swivel chair, wondering why Blade hadn't ashed her already,the b***h had been Marcus's right hand for decades why would she be wanting to kill him? Blade had told him about what had happened at the Conclave. Chase's loyalities was with the purebloods, including Charlotte. Chase's lack of reaction to the news that Blade had Ashed Charlotte wasn't suprising, even those loyal to the pure bloods of whatever house knew that Blade would eventually try kill the purebloods they were loyal to. An occuptaional hazard. "How do we know that you really want to kill Marcus and can still help us get to him?", Shen asked the vampire, "Since you've gone he's changed alot of his security".

As Shen spoke Blade weighed the evidence that backed up Chase's story. She had been absent from the House Of Chthon, since her fight with Krista at the Conclave meeting in which the Chthonian purebloods were masacred. Chase had popped up on Shen's, 'radar' since then but not for any great period of time,and the majority of those times around the headquarters of the House Of Erebus. Chthon's old time rival for control of the Vampire houses. Even after the Conclave pureblood masscare the rivalry still continued.

All it needed was for the House of Armya to choose a side, that would be all the spark that would be needed to start another vampire war.

"I'll tell you who the imformer is", Chase said smiply, her voice and facail expression still their confindence selves, she wanted to taunt them about Krista, and her unwillingness to help them but knew that would only get her ashed on the spot rather then help her case, "And there are certain things about Marcus's security that he won't have changed, I've tryed to take marcus down without help for two years now I'm asking for your help".

"Shen", Blade said indicating for him to join him with a pistol in front of Chase. Shen obeyed keeping his aim at chase the whole time, as Blade removed his sword from under her chin. "Your working for me, I didcate what you do, and where you go is that understood vampire?", Blade told her, he needed someone to replace Krista on the inside now she was slowly going native,

"Take it Chase, he's not normally this nice to 'guests'", Shen told her, the meaning to his words obvious.

"Yes Blade", Chase said getting up off the floor, and extending a hand out for him to shake, "this should be interesting".

Chthon HQ The Matador Hotel - Detroit

Marcus smiled, sitting back in his office chair the message in front of him contained very good news indeed. His newest, (but unnofficail) familair had suceed where Chase and Krista had failed, Boon was finally dead."Bing, extend my congratulations to Dodge Barnett and invite him back to Detroit from Louisiana, and tell him Krista will meet him somewhere, leave the location to her", he told his private assistant, smilling. The trouble maker Boon was finally dead.

Chapter 3

Chthon HQ The Matador Hotel - Detroit

Marcus smiled, sitting back in his office chair the message in front of him contained very good news indeed. His newest, (but unofficail) familair had suceed where Chase and Krista had failed, Boon was finally dead."Bing, extend my congratulations to Dodge Barnett and invite him back to Detroit from Louisiana, and tell him Krista will meet him somewhere, leave the location to her", he told his private assistant, smilling. The trouble maker Boon was finally dead. Marcus would have wanted prefered him to have died two years ago in Silver the first time he was meant to but, good things came to those who wait. Killed in the same state the headguarters of the House of Armaya.

'I waited 200 years for his revenge against Domick Armya, so two years for a small pain in the arse like Boon was reasonable if not annoying, obviously he had been Domick's main informer about his experiments with the purposely failed Auroua vaccine and not the repulsive escaped Erbuian vampire that he and Charlotte had been introduce to at Domick's little daylight, "meeting". His death would definatley solidify his image among the twelve houses. No enemy stood in Marcus Van Sciver's way for very long, yes it sounded cheesy but it worked. None of other 10 houses had tried to remove him, or destroy the house of Chthon since he had taken control.

Dodge's reward though would be difficult,despite the advantages of turning him into a vampire would have on what Marcus used him for, there were two reasons why he couldn't do so.The first was that Dodge didn't want to be turned and would no doubt comit suicide if he was,thus no longer being a useful asset to him, the second being if he did turn Dodge he would have to introduce him, to the rest of the houses, and the majority of Chthon, and admit what he had and was being used for, assisantions. Not exactly the best thing for the rest of the vampire brethern to know, as it might provoke them into attacking the House Of Chthon. For that reason too he couldn't be seen with Dodge in a public place, or entering a Chthonian safehouse with him either. Marcus hadn't let all the power go to his head, yet, he was very much still with things and hands on. As Chase had said once, he was the Bismark of the Vampire world.

There was knock on the door and Miss Bing, entered Marcus's office. "Mr Van Sciver sir, your guest Mr Martin is outside and wishes to speak to you", Bing said pausing for a second or two, "Shall I let him in ?".

"Yes of course", Marcus replied smilling his voice a little less assertive and happier then normal,"Also please get Krista down here, I'd like to introduce her properly to Mr Martin". 'That and to tell her about her meeting/ debreifing with Dodge', Marcus thought to himself as Miss Bing went back out of his office to let Lucifer in.

"Lucifer!", he said still smiling and drawing the, 'teenage' vampire into a freindly hug.He was feeling happy about Boon's sucessful death, and now being the leader of the House of Chthon he was able to show it. And as he had told Krista the day before, he and Lucifer went back, they were actually friends. "Marcus!", Lucifer replied returning the smile,and accepting the hug, before breaking it, "Sorry about yesterday Marcus but your not the only one with a Slayer, and purebloods keeping an aye and silver sword on you"."So what's it like being da ultimate boss?", he said settling down onto one of the comfy chairs near the sofa where Marcus was now sitting. "What's it like being, 'second in comand'?", Marcus countered laughing a little at his deflection. "Very good", Lucifer said answering both, Marcus's question, and commenting on his avoidance of answering, "The pays good, but it's been the same in the vaunted HQ of the House of Chthon has been the same since you left for Prague a couple of decades back,and now your here in america, the newest vampire colony. I might not be in the same power league as you over here, but I'm happy with my posioton and the girls I can get, speaking of which whats the deal with this newborn Krist... Oh we were just talking about you Miss Starr".

Krista had walked in at the right time to cut Lucifer's question short.a school boy like smile coming over Lucifer's face. "You americans always seem to have the best timing don't you?", he said, the question being subtly rhectorical. Marcus made an effort to keep his smile as small as it was as he talked to Krista, "Krista, you remember our quests arrival yesterday, don't you?". It was a pointless question because he knew the answer, but it was par to of the introducing the guest manners. "Yes", Krista replied calmly sitting down next to to Mrcus on the sofa, wondeing why Marcus was being so kind, and dare she say it friendly with Lucifer after the afore mentioned, 'meeting' yesterday."It's Lucifer Martin isn't it?", she asked purtantly fixing the vampire Lucifer with a curious and questioning stare. Marcus had never mentioned him before, come to think of it Krista couldn't remember Marcus dicussing anything about his recent past life at all. What she had seen during her transformation had mainly been when he was turned and the horror of losing the one women he really loved, the rest, (the pats of what he did as a vampire afterwards went by quickly, too fast for her minds eye to determine any seperate shape never mind people or items, all she had was glimpses. Marcus's complete reluctance to reveal anything about his past was understandable given what fate, and his own plans had turned him into. Hopefully this little chat with Lucifer would lead to some details being ,'released' on the subject.

"So you and Marcus go back do you?", Krista asked the catiousness of her voice telling them of her fright about asking about something about Marcus's past, "I'd like to know more about my Marcus". She cursed those last few words silently in her mind as soon as she had spoken them. She did love Marcus,and it obvious he loved her, otherwise he would have had her killed that night after the Conclave massacre. He had known she had been working for Blade form the beggining, the informer that Marcus had talked about was too close to shen to not know that. Though she had never meet her, krista had heard Blade's weapon smith talk about her, and there was no way for her to tell them, but hen again did she want to? Krista shook the thoughts from her mind. Now wasn't the time to ponder about her destiny over the next few hundred years.

"Yes we do go back Miss Starr, me and Marcus do have a short history of working together",Lucifer replied his own facial expression changing to one of slight interest. 'If he does like this girl as much as the rumors say,why has he not talked about his past with her?', he thought to himself, amused at Marcus's lack of change when it came to talking about himself, and his,'life'. "Marcus may I?", Lucifer asked turning to face his boss politley not wanting to say anything without permission in case it led to a premature end to his life. Every sensible employee was careful around their boss, no matter how well they knew each other. Marcus nooded his head slowly, still smilling. 'Yes you can', in other words, and Lucifer turned his attention back to Krista.

"Before he came here to Detroit Marcus worked first with me in London for a few decades and then went to Prague at the requestof the now late board", Lucifer said a content smile forming on his face as he referanced the death of all the purebloods Marcus knew of in the House Of Chthon, he had been in on Marcus's plan to better his postion so to speak for some time, but was in pocession of information that would ruin his boss's future job stability but said nothing about them to him. In only 24 hours he would find out himself. "Charlotte transferred Marcus to work for me in old headquarters of our house, in order to get some shall we say, 'experience' before sending him to the stuffy, admin board types in Prague", Lucifer continued keeping an eye on Marcus. He was keeping what he said generalised and vague on purpose to avoid his wrath, but Marcus wasn't the most predicatable of people. "He was a good familiar, one of my best for the short time he was back in his home city", he said finally, adjusting himself in the chair as to be comfortable again, "It was weird having some one over 100 years older then me being my servant, but we soon became good friends. Now if I'm very mush mistaken, Marcus you have had a long awaited sucess with your latest new recruit". Lucifer's facail expression changed with those word to being deadly serious.

Marcus froze, how did Lucifer know about Dodge's sucess in finally killing Boon? He himself had only just found out only a few minutes ago before Lucifer had come in to his office. Cowinsedence? Marcus doubted it, Lucifer was resourceful and his reason for being here was controversal enough for him to try and catch Marcus in the right mood to talk about. 'Crafty devil you, Lucifer', Marcus thought to himself. "Yes Boon has finally been murdered by DD, how did you know?", he asked Lucifer pointingly, and assertively. "I have my ways Marcus,good news spreads quickly among secetaries in places like this don't they?".

Marcus smiled again but not a much as before, he didn't like leaks of information especailly that quickly to tothers, even his friends and closet familiars, "Lucifer you have not changed a bit, though I would prefer if you used our safehouses to indulge yourself not the staff here". Then he turned to Krista, "You are going to meet our succesful familair in the cafe you told me about, it will be... quite appropiate a setting".

Armayan Safehouse, Detroit

"You want me to do what?", Chase said unbelievingly at Blade, "I am not going to act like that in there with you, I maybe a rogue do have some inhibitions and an image to keep up". Chase just looked into the daywalker's tinted sunglasses, with him it was as close as anyone was going to get as to looking into his actual eyes. "I'm not doing it", she added indignantly.

"You don't seem to remember our agreement, Iwe help each other takle down Marcus, and you help me kill as many vampires as possible at the same time, or do you want Shen to pull the trigger and ash you you vampire bitch?".
