Awkward.

"Jenna!" he shouted again.

Jenna appeared before him in a gorgeous red jumpsuit that would have distracted him from the task in hand but the noise in the house helped him stand his ground. He glared at her but didn't say anything, just crossed his arms and waited for her excuse.

"I told them to come." She started and Marcus almost blew up at that.

"Why? You know I have issues with people and it only got worse after you died and I became unstable." He replied slowly and calmly. He noticed people were slowly leaving the room but Miguel and Tamisha were at the far end corner, talking in hush tones about something Marcus really didn't want to know now.

"I know but the house is too lonely for just the four of us. You threw your mum out the next day after she announce her engagement. The maids just walk around doing nothing since the house is always clean and you and Miguel are always out. Tamisha and I get bored a lot here."

"So what?" he fumed. "You can always go out."

"But people cant come visit. Carly had been asking to stay here for two years and you've always been putting her on hold!" She was raising her voice now.

"Of course I'll put her on hold." He shouted back. "When she comes the rest of the magicians come. It's a thing about circles. They have to be together to be stronger."

Magicians always paired up in five to make themselves stronger. And since Carly was a Magician the rest of her circle of course had to come.

"And you know the worst part, we are all a little linked. If the circle come, Reed has to come because of relationship with Blue and then Sam and Lucas because he's Sam's apprentice. Jenna, what's wrong with you?"

"Just grow up already." She threw her hands up in exasperation, "I called them all to stay here for the holiday so you are just going to have to live with it."

"I am not going to live with it. It is my house!"

"It's not yours! It's Miguel's. His dad owned this place."

"But who did the fucking throne choose? That's right, Me. So shut up while I go in there and tell those fucktards to get the hell out of my house!"

"You will do no such thing!" her voice was a tone deeper which meant she was also pissed but he didn't answer her, just continued heading to the door. By now, Miguel and Tamisha had already gone out of the room leaving them as the only two people in the room.

"This will teach you not to call people over without telling m-" he didn't noticed when Jenna sent her power out and it slammed into Marcus sending him flying so he crashed against the wall. He slid down to the floor and exhaled. His head hurt and the blood was already running down his nose but that wasn't enough to put him down.

Marcus caught Jenna trying to leave the room, making him lock the doors telepathically so she won't leave. She shook the knob but it didn't budge, she tried using her magic but is still didn't move so she turned her glare to Marcus who had managed to stand up.

"Let me leave." She said, doing this hair flip she did when she was pissed.

"Yeah right." He rolled his eyes then waved a hand, sending his power out to hit her and she hit the wall behind her not too nicely, causing her groan. "Nest time don't piss me off." He unlock the doors and tried to go for it but his clothes caught on fire and that made him stop to panic. He tried to dust it off but it only blazed more.

Marcus threw his shirt on the floor and tried to stomp on it to put out the fire only to remember fire doesn't burn him anymore. Since he became the Blaze monster where the monster was practically made of fire. Fire had been one element he could control even in his sleep. As an Arax, you could absorb anything.

He laughed at the fact that he actually fell for that. He had to give her that one. Marcus turned to see his girlfriend already at the door. She twisted the knob but the door didn't open. Marcus stared at it confused because he wasn't the one locking the door this time.

"Felicia, seriously?!" Jenna shouted then tried to kick the door open but nothing.

Marcus laughed. Felicia always did this when they fought in one room in the house. "Guess it's just us." He said.

She slowly turned back to him and exhaled. He nodded to their silent agreement and she did a multiplication spell. She made three more of herself as Marcus extended his arms to form a very large sword.

Jenna and the clones said at the same time with the same impatient tone, "Let's make this quick then."

_____________________________________

Perks about being a Witch, it comes with the conniving package. Jenna hadn't really teleported there when Marcus had called her because she knew he'd obviously be pissed and when they fought. They literally fought when either of them got pissed at each other. And she wasn't in the mood for that so she had sent her clone there while she attended to the guests.

Everyone was in the throne room and were surprisingly quiet which was awkward because they could all here Marcus and Jenna's clone digging it out in the waiting room not too far from there.

They all stared at her, even Miguel and Tamisha were being awkwardly quiet at the far end of the room.

She cleared her throat and smiled at the crowd. "Hey everyone. Why are we so quiet?"

"We don't want to piss off the big guy in the room." Rex said, cocking to the direction on the waiting room.

She waved her hand at them then called Tamisha forward, saying, "Just ignore him. He'll get tired of ranting. Tamisha, please come over here."

"Sure." She replied, coming over to meet her. "What's up?"

"Awkward." She admitted and Tamisha nodded vigorously. "What should we do?"

"Bond over dinner? Miguel and Marcus won't be home. Miguel's taking him to go check out something Ian saw."

"Great. We just call today a night." Jenna smiled at her then turned back to the crowd and said, "So, I've gotten a list." She instantly grabbed the paper that appeared in front of her and said, "You get to choose who your roommate is going to be. You get to pick one and that is it."

Jenna gave the crowd time to talk and agree with each other before she continued, "Cade."

"I'm rooming with Rex." He replied quickly then rushed to take the key that had appeared out of nowhere from her. Cade was her senior brother and he was unnaturally strong. He even wields the only thing that can kill Marcus in a heartbeat. Rex on the other hand was a stretcher and swordsman like her brother. They carried on to find their room. Good luck if they ever find it though. The mansion was a maze of its own.

"Are we going left or right?" Rex asked, confused.

"Tamisha." she sighed, looking at her best friend for help.

"On it." she tapped her shoulder lightly then directed the boys to where their room was.

"Next, Julie." Jenna continued.

"My sister obviously." She rolled her eyes then collected the key from her. Julie was a blond that could prove Asians wrong about them being the smartest. She and her sister, Fiona were amazing at what they did. Julie was a scientist while Fiona was into Forensics science. Julie was currently dating her brother while Fiona was dating Jean. They met up with Tamisha and she showed them what wing they were in.

"Carly." She smiled at her other best friend that had faded into the background because Marcus hadn't been nice enough to let her come over or stay over.

"I'll bunk with Blue." She smiled back then gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"I missed you. Tamisha and I are so coming over to your room."

"Hurry up! You can do your weird love later." Blue whined from where Tamisha was. Blue was the youngest and more of the Magician in the circle. She followed the path of Isis which was the Egyptian god of Magic which meant she had more abilities than the rest. Carly and her boyfriend, Nate, were more into combat than the whole idea of summoning elements. Carly followed the path of Bast. The god was Ra's protector which made Carly the circle's protector. Nate, on the other hand, followed the path of Horus, the god of war. The couple's fighting skills were unbelievably amazing.

"Teenagers." She rolled her eyes then collected the key from Jenna and carried on.

"Sven." Jenna said dryly and the couple emerged. Honestly, even if their relationship was similar to that of hers and Marcus, it was hard to see them away from each other. Sven was an arrogant man with enough pride the size of Russia. Sven was also in the circle. He followed the path of Thoth, god of knowledge, wisdom and writing.

"We'll take that." Sven smirked at her and left his boyfriend, Roy with her.

"Don't mind him. He can be irritating sometimes. Sorry about Marcus." he said nicely. They always related in this kind of situation. She nodded and smiled at him, thankful for his empathy. Roy was one of the nicest people she had met. He followed the path of Geb, god of earth and fertility. After a simple salute, he went to join Sven to find their room.

"Nate."

"Finally. My legs were almost killing me." He groaned then snatched the key from her and pulled Reed along. Reed was about a year older than Blue. A stretcher also.

"Sam and Lucas." Jenna just knew they were obviously going to sleep together. They were one hellova couple. Sam used to be a cute little blonde but now he's all grown up and was into robotics. Lucas was a combat teacher in the school they had all graduated from.

"Thanks." Lucas said, taking the key from her and pulling Sam who was too busy typing into his Mac to care about what was happening around him.

"Nathan and Steve." she continued and they came up to her. Nathan had been living in Italy since his mum died and his dad kicked him out for good reasons. Nathan was a siren and in their world, sirens were made for sex. They enjoyed bondage play and they had all sorts of control over men. Sirens were naturally women but as generations past, men were born with the ability. Sam was also a sirens. Steve however, was human all the way.

"Thanks. I hope my room is awesome or you'll be getting complains." Nathan said. He was also very narcissistic, in fact, that was what Marcus normally called him. God of narcissists.

Jenna rolled her eyes at him and changed the key. The room she had brought out for him before hadn't really been his style. Smirking, he collected the key and pulled Steve away.

"Kate and Valentine."

The girls came up, smirking as Kate collected the key. Kate was British. How she found herself in an Italian man's house, the same place Nathan lived, was still unknown. Kate and Nathan had almost the same character but Kate was more action than talk as Nathan was. She was a stretcher while Valentine was a psychic, telekinesis to be precise.

Jenna smiled at them, "Valentine, your brother didn't come?"

"He works at the white house now as one of the president's security." She answered, her Italian accent was as thick as ever. She used the key to scratch her head and continued, "It is just to keep us in the loop of what's going on in case they want to I don't know, get rid of us."

"Smart move." Jenna smiled and she just wiggled her brow before turning to Kate saying, "Kate, ci ha lasciati va. I miei piedi stanno uccidendomi." She whined in Italian which meant Kate, let's go. My feet are killing me.

Her girlfriend smiled at her and said as she pulled her away, "Incolpilo su Marcus, bambino. E la ragione che non abbiamo avuti una riunione felice." Blame it on Marcus, baby. He's the reason we didn't have a happy reunion.

Guess Jenna did know her Italian.

Jenna scanned the remaining people and sighed when she saw they were only five more. God, the people that manage hotels should be paid extra.

She smiled at the next couple that came up to her. Jessica and Maria. They had been roommates back in school and they were one of her close friends. Jessica was Irish so she had the accent going for her and you've got to love her red hair. She was a handyman which meant, her hands had the ability to understand and use anything she touched. She was a pro when it came to using weaponries. Maria's ability was the ability to heal. Healers were very rare so she wasn't allowed to fight much back in the war or even now.

"Jenna! Finally." Jessica began. "You have no idea how the traffic was when we were coming here. Heaven knows you could sleep in it." she clasped her hands together and grinned.

"I'm glad you could make it." she smiled back

"I'm taking our things to the room. I need to take a shower." Maria groaned, taking the keys from her.

"Okay. I'm going to stay here with Jenna." She waved her girlfriend then looked back at Jenna, "So what are we having for dinner?"

She rolled her eyes at her, saying nothing but giving her the one minute finger. "Jack, Jasmine and Jean," she called the remaining people then threw their keys at them. "You all get separate rooms because I doubt Jean wants to bunk with you, Jack."

Jean smiled at her then went over to meet Tamisha while the last couple for the day walked up to her. Jasmine's history was one you just had to sit to listen. She had been killed by her ex-boyfriend, Marcus, brought back to life, lost her powers but still help in the war. Jasmine was one person that could kick butts in her sleep. How she and Jack got into the relationship was beyond Jenna's understanding. All Jenna did was tell Jack to take care of her body in the morgue and then next thing Jenna heard after Jasmine came back was that they were going out.

"Good to see you again. Still up for a date?" Jack asked and Jessica scoffed and hit his shoulder just the same time with Jasmine.

"Can't you see she's married?" Jessica tapped his head again making him pout.

Jenna laughed, "I'm not married, Jess."

"You are actually. " Jasmine smirked at her. "Marcus wouldn't let a soul touch you. Besides, he kept you this long. Next thing he'll be kneeling in front of you and saying the words 'Will you marry me?'"

"He's just twenty three." Jack said, not believing what his girlfriend was saying.

"Yeah?" she narrowed her eyes at him, "And Zayn was just twenty one when he proposed to Perrie."

"Whatever guys. You'll should go settle down before I let Marcus out."

Jasmine simpered then pulled Jack away before he could say anything.

"Finally." Miguel came out of a hallway just as they were leaving. He rose a brow at her as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"What?" Jenna asked, letting the paper she was holding burn up into ashes then fall to the floor only to disappear before it touches.

"Go get Marcus out. We've got somewhere to be."

She shrugged, turning in the direction of the waiting room. Anything to have him out of the house was fine by her.

"I'm Jessica by the way." Her friend introduced herself.

"Miguel." He smiled at her.

She returned it with a confused one, "I thought Miguel was blond?"

They stopped in front of the door and Miguel said, running a frustrated hand through his hair, "I thought so too."

Jenna rolled her eyes at him then twisted the door handle and opened to a very bloody scene.

Marcus stood in the middle of the room with his metallic hands that could change into any weapon of his choice. It was just as bloody as the room. The table and couches were torn apart and were scattered around the place just the way Jenna's body was. One of her heads rolled towards her as Marcus turned towards them.

Swallowing, she tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear and said, "It's either you hate me or you love me too badly to a fault."

He glared, moving quickly towards them as if he was going to attack but he just stopped in front her and said, not once taking his eyes off her and Jenna faced it head on, "Right now, I think I'm in between." Jenna wasn't even given the chance to talk before he pushed her aside and turned to Miguel, "I smell Ian. Where is he?"

Miguel returned his glare with a blank face, "I told him to take a shower and rest. He ran almost a two hundred miles after Spence. He lost him around the borders of Texas though."

Marcus cursed as his arms returned back to normal. He left one on his waist just as the other ran through his hair. "So what now?"

"I thought we start interrogation. And Garret to begin with. We need to know who got them to the prison and when."

His brother nodded then said, "I'll be right back. I need to take a shower."

"Be quick." He answered, walking pass him inside to see how bad the mess was.

Jenna watched her boyfriend go. He didn't even give her a glance or even a middle finger and that made her realize he was really mad. She frowned then looked at Miguel. Jessica had long since ran out when she saw the scene. "Think he'll forgive me for this one?"

"Who knows? He's your boyfriend." He replied with an obvious tone then patted her hair and left.

Jenna looked at the gruesome scene again but shrugged, happy she wasn't the one to clean up. She turned to leave, kicking one of her heads out of the way and cringing when it rolled to face her. She shook her head then twisted the handle to get it open but it didn't open. She did it again but nothing.

A bolt of irritation went through her when she thought of who locked her in, "Marcus!"

"It's not Marcus dear." Felicia said.

"What?" she asked confused. But she wasn't confused for long because a few cleaning equipment appeared beside her.

"Clean up." Felicia's smooth and calm voice became bristle and cold.

Jenna heaved a sigh in defeat. Well shit.

~::~

"You again?" the female officer they had met the first time glowered at them.

Miguel licked his lips and smirked. "What? You don't like my awesome face in your office?"

"No." she replied bluntly.

Miguel mentally groaned at her lack of humor and shook his head saying, "Anyways. We are here to see the prison warden."

"He's out for break. Come back tomorrow." She deadpanned. She really hated them.

"When is he going to be back?" Marcus asked. He's been pretty unstable since he blew up at Jenna. Now his Stealth ears are poking out of his head.

Stealths were black panthers which were as big as a lion and had three tails that could stretch to a certain extent.

"Why do you want to see him?"

"We've got urgent matters." He answered not too nicely but that was hardly his business, he was still piss.

The officer stared at him for a while then released a sigh and said, "He'll be back in a few minutes. Please wait over there. I'll call you when he's ready." She pointed to the waiting area then went back to writing whatever she was writing when they came.

They nodded then went over to sit down.

Marcus scratched behind his stealth ear as he tapped his foot vigorously to the floor. Miguel stared at him weirdly then asked if he was okay but he just nodded, not even muttering a word.

Miguel let it fly but is wasn't long before fur started to grow on his brother's hand and he began to scratch at his neck and hand. Miguel shifted in his sit to face him, "Dude, you are changing."

"I know. The stealth won't stay down."

"Then let it out."

He stood abruptly and touched his back franticly. Miguel could see why he was doing that. His tails were coming out and people were starting to notice. He stood up slowly and Marcus whined. Yes he did. The stealth could do that to ya. "This thing is ruining my sophisticated attitude." He said as one of the tails slid across his body to his hair to scratch the stealth ear.

Miguel puckered his lips at him and said, "Aww. You look cute. Like a cat." When Marcus just glared at him and he gave him an amused smile and said, "Okay, give me your coat then go hump Jenna's leg like the horny fuck that you are."

"I hate you." He said, turning to walk to the restroom.

"Feeling's mutual bro." He grinned at him as they entered then locked the door after they made sure no one was in.

Marcus got rid of his cloths in a flash and was left only in his underwear. Miguel's brother was definitely hot under those clothes and he didn't even have any ounce of care that his bisexual brother was there because he pulled off his briefs.

"You are quite something down there." Miguel commented, not even ashamed that that was his brother. Half brother actually.

Marcus had been able to control the stealth a little so there were only furs on his hands and neck. He frowned at him and said, "Have some dignity Miguel."

"You are the one standing naked in front of a man that used to bang men." Miguel couldn't take his eyes off the tails and how they were making teasing Marcus' body and now it was obvious he was hard. Miguel managed to meet Marcus eyes, "Aren't you going to tell me to leave?"

"I can't." He said as something flashed in that jet black eyes of it. Miguel ignored it because he was sure it was the same thing he was feeling.

"Why?" he replied awkwardly. He was loosing his patience just standing there. He badly wanted to bend him over and fuck him senseless.

Vampires who were mated could still sleep with other people but that would kill whoever they slept with slowly. However, Marcus wasn't like that. He was his own god. Any vampire could sleep with him and not expect any complications. He had literally forever to live. Vampires could be killed by sunlight and oak trees but Marcus, as the only Arax in existence. He could only be killed by a sword and that sword was hidden by Cade, the keeper.

Besides, Marcus was just his half brother. Sexy half brother...

"I'm not telling you to leave because I can't deny that I want you." He said flatly.

"I hate Stealths and Sirens. gods!" Miguel groaned, grumbling as he entered one of the stalls.

"Thanks bro." Marcus replied cheerily.

"Shut the fuck up, change and get out of here." he shouted at the asshole outside and soon enough, Marcus was on all four and out the door, breaking it in the process.

Miguel stayed back to calm himself down. Stealths, Sirens, Succubus and Incubus used to be all the things he loved. Incubus and Succubus, even though they tried to kill him at the end, they were wonderful sex partners. Sirens were remarkable especially during the era when he was into bondage play. And then Stealths. People were into having sex with animals back then so stealths were created. You can guess the story from there.

Funny thing though, he owned the only clan of Stealths in existence.
