Markus awoke again in the halls of the James' Building. He stroked his head, to find that it was covered in blood, he was losing it quickly. He fell against the wall with a thump, groaning loudly. He brushed his fringe out of his eyes, and yelled out ancient Irish Gaelic words, they came naturally, and eventually turned into screams. Something was inside his head. It was controlling his speech, making him speak in his first-language. He yelled out for assistance, but his words simply sounded like gibberish to anyone other than Irish folk. He closed his eyes, his temples were killing him. When was the last time he slept? He got to his feet, and yelled in fractured English for assistance.

Ceon cringed in pain as his foot was clamped down on. His feet were now trapped, one in Jacque's hand and one in his mouth. He thought sarcastically, "Well, this is wonderful." As he looked down, he noticed that one of the tranquilizer guns that Jacque had dropped was less than a foot next to his hand. He quickly stretched his arm out and grabbed the gun. Ceon peered over his shoulder and shot a tramq dart at Jacque. "Nighty-night."

Jacque felt the sting of the tranquilizer enter his shoulder, and only bit harder, hard enough to sever the leg unless something were done.. He was immune to tranquilizers through a series of bounties that decided to use the exact same tactic Ceon had used, and while he wasn't completely immune, the only effects the tranquilizer had on him, was to make him abit drowsy.

Sibyl's ear easily caught Markus' cries for help but she really wasn't sure what she could do for him right now. However, once she saw that Ceon had sunk a tranquilizer into Jacque, her instinct told her that he was not going to be hindered by it like she'd been. It would at least make him a little slower and hopefully help to calm him down but right now Sibyl decided to assist the screaming Markus. Something was dreadfully wrong with the vampire or at least her instinct told her so and she didn't like what her instinct was telling her.
She was headed out into the hallway but that meant that she was going to have to flash into human form in order to get through the door. Sibyl shifted into her human form, her clothes instantly flashing upon her form as she did so. Remembering the "thorn" in her side, she pulled Jacque's tranquilizer out of her shoulder and opened the door into the hallway only to see Markus on the floor bleeding.
The door was nudged shut as Sibyl wasn't wanting anyone to take notice of the fighting lycans within James' apartment. She loped her way over to Markus in her true predator form. In this form she was truly beautiful and all her grace was obviously placed into this form. Her true form was almost unreal with the beauty that it happened to possess. Every marking seemed to be placed with care as if someone had placed them there themself, a famous artist.
The crimson and ebony wolf reached the vampire that was probably the only vampire that considered her a friend of sorts and one of the only vampires she'd decided to spare. ~Markus, it's Sibyl. I'm in my wolven form since I'm a little weak from being knocked out. What happened to you?~ Before hearing an answer the wolf immediately began prodding at the vampire, smelling him and licking at the wound that was oozing from his head.

Ceon screamed in agony as Jacque bit harder. Jacque was going to bite straight through his bone if he didn't do anything. He grabbed the jacket that had fallen off him when he had turned to his lycan form. He dug through at found three stainless steel stakes in his back pocket. He turned around once more and threw the stakes at Jacque's jugulars and solarplex.

Jacque let go of Ceon, throwing him aside in order to throw off his aim, two of the stakes landed nowhere close, but the third did, if Jacque hadn't batted it aside with a claw.
He took the tranquilizer out from his shoulder, and threw it towards Ceon. One tranquilizer might not do much to him, but it did make him slightly woozy, enough tranquilizers could knock him out, if there was enough time....

Ceon rolled out of the way of the dart, grabbing his 9mm from his jacket and firing several rounds at him. "I'm not dying today you claustrophobic son of b***h."

Markus opened his eyes slightly, they were pure red, no longer their usual twinkling blue. He coughed deeply, his voice box was shredded from screaming, he tried to communicate with his thoughts. His messages were punctuated with screams of threats from the Void Maker. Hello Sybil, My mind is weak, I cannot ~I SHALL REND YOUR FLESH FROM-~ sorry, I can't control it. The Void is trying to lure me in, it tracks down negative emotions and expands them drastically, it's trying to make me a Void Master. I just need somewhere to rest, or else I may become a Void Master, I need my mind spare to battle this creature, it is starting too affect my speech, the wounds are nothing, they will heal. I can't go on like this.
Markus groaned deeply, the Void Maker took control of his speech. "Leave him, Lycan, He's doomed, I have his soul now." The Voice seemed to have an Australian accent, and sounded as dry as Papyrus. "I have his soul, no one else. Their is nothing you can do."

Sibyl's lavendar eyes inspected the wounded and suffering vampire as she licked at his head wound. She knew that he was a vampire and that he healed faster than normal and that he couldn't get infections but she still licked at his wounds anyhow. Most canine's saliva was known to have minor healing properties and they were able to keep wounds from getting infected and helped to heal them a little better. If he was dealing with some mental internal issue that was trying to consume him with his negativity then the least she could do was see to it that his wounds were not assailing him as well.
~I have no idea what a voidmaster is but you can explain to me later when you have the strength. As for sparing your mind if you don't want me to talk to you then I'll be silent but I cannot maintain my human form very well at the moment. Unfortunately somewhere to rest is not going to be as easy since James' apartment is filled with two fighting lycans at the moment. I can bring you in there to rest and guard you but that's about all I can do. You'll go on just fight it and if you need anything then just tell me.~
When Markus groaned, she drew back since she wasn't quite sure if she'd hurt him or something while licking at his wounds. ~First off, I'm not a lycan so that one's just for the record. As for Markus being doomed, that might very well be but that doesn't mean that I'm just going to leave him here. I don't have a soul so that works just fine with me. As for me doing nothing, maybe so but I'm not about to sit back and watch you try to take him over if he doesn't want you to.~

Markus blinked slowly, and struggled to his feet, he put his hand on the wall for balance, and pinched the bridge of his nose with the other. He said slowly and weakly, in his own voice. "You have to run, Sybil, I can't fight this thing, it's going to destroy me, or take over me. Both mean trouble for you. You have to run, now." He screamed, and the Void Maker took control of his voice box again. "Sybil, ain't it? Now listen, turn around, and go, this ain't gonna be pretty, this 'uns putting up a fight. It's either leave, or I'll make Markus attack you. He may have seemed like a pansy in the Subway, but trust me, when emotions aren't involved he's a lot more difficult too take care of." The Void Maker laughed, and Markus gripped his head in both hands, falling to his knees. "Please, don't make me hurt her, she is my friend." He was muttering to himself now, Markus clenched his teeth, and fell back, exhaling. "I think I pacified it for now." He said quietly. He got up limply, and leaned against the wall. The Void Maker started to sing in Markus' voice, low, and disturbingly.
"Five little angels Sleeping in their bed Mommy's gonna come And make you dead
Mommy doesn't know Right from wrong So she's gonna wait 'Til Daddy's gone
Five little angels Sitting in the tub Mommy's gonna drown you Glub glub glub
Mommy hears the voices In her head That'll be her reason Why you're dead
Mommy's gonnal call Nine-one-one So she can tell the cops What she's done
Mommy gets sentenced To life in jail She's no more use to Daddy So he just bails
Mommy's lawyer says Not so fast The trial may be over But it won't be the last
The sentence was reversed On a technicality A witness for the state Watched too much TV
This time around Mommy's found insane For following the voices She hears in her brain
She doesn't go to jail But still gets put away Daddy says he loves her But Daddy doesn't stay
Why isn't Daddy Put away as well? He's the one who made Mommy's life hell"

The wolf wasn't phased by the pleas of her vampiric friend and fleeing simply wasn't something she did unless her instinct told her the situation was impossible. ~I don't have to run anywhere, Markus. You can try to hurt me and I can guarantee that you will fail along with that void master maker thing that's inside your head. I don't need to run yet not until I know I have no chance against my opponent. If he does take you over then I'll just have to bear with it and make his visit a living hell then he'll piss off and leave you alone.~ Sibyl's razor sharp canines were shown as she smiled in her wolven form.
~Yes, it is Sibyl and you'd be? I'm listening but I really don't like being told what to do. You see, I'm a wolf and not a dog and while dogs may listen to their owners wolves are wild and do not listen to what they are told unless it's by their alpha or beta. You definitely aren't either of those so I'll listen but not make any effort to follow your instructions. If he attacks me then so be it, I'm a lot tougher than you might be crediting me for, then again I may be much weaker, who really knows.~
Sibyl watched as Markus attempted to get up off the floor and listened to him when he thought he'd gotten rid of the persona that seemed to be attempting to take him over. ~Hey Markus, don't you worry about hurting me. You should worry about that voice in your head that's trying to invade your entire being. I'm a petty matter at the moment and if you do attack me then I'll be sure to keep you occupied for a while despite my sore limb.~ Sibyl heard the song and absorbed it though it did nothing to intimidate her or disturb her.

Markus fell back down, he smiled thinly, and groaned. He could feel himself getting colder, he fought it in vain, refusing too give in. He gulped largely, and looked at Sybil, his eyes were returning to normal, the whites were pink though, and he had bags under them. "I need more energy, Sybil. I've been hunting for the last three days, I need some sleep, I can't fight it in my current state." Markus coughed, and fainted.
The Void Maker was in his mind now, it was incarnated as a scrawny Thing with thin, viscious teeth. It stood, watching Markus' psyche, a small child with brown hair and twinkling blue eyes, sat in a small spotlight of colour in the vast darkness. The Void Maker moved towards it, getting ready too kill it... A massive burst of white light flung it back.
The Void Maker smashed into the wall of the hallway, it was an incredibly scrawny looking human male, it's eyes were pure white, and it's teeth were thin, sharp, and black. It hissed vindictively, and said in a low, snarling voice. "I'll return soon, Wolf. I shall return, and I shall take this child's mind. I won't give you the charming warning I gave you before, I shall kill on sight." It hissed again, and sank into the wall. Markus sat their with a blank expression, a tear rolling down his cheek, he fell onto his side, and closed his eyes.

Sibyl was only able to stand there, watching Markus struggle against himself and the thing that was apparently trying to transform him into a voidmaster. She still had no clue as to what a voidmaster was and her guess was that it somehow had something to do with voids. Apparently their mind became like a void, empty and nothing and perhaps they were able to do something special. They were murderous and malicious from what she'd heard from the one that was tainting Markus but she'd never encountered anything like this before so she had no idea what she was supposed to do or what she could do.
Since Sibyl could only speak into others' minds and not see into them she was not able to see the Void Maker screwing around in his mind. This also prevented her from entering his mind and attempting to fight off the Void Maker as well since her mental abilities were heavily limited and she couldn't use them to affect others but only herself. That was how she transformed in the first place.
When the Void Maker was somehow thrown from Markus' mind into reality, it took Sibyl off guard and she instantly let out a snarl and chased after the ugly thing. It looked like an abomination and since it'd attacked her friend she wasn't about to let it get away since this thing had made it her business as well as Markus'. Sibyl sprang toward it, claws threatening and teeth bared. She was about to surround the gaunt thing with her jaws when it sank into the wall and disappeared.
The wolf snorted in frustration, angry that her prey had eluded and escaped her. ~You'd better not return because I'll rip your throat out when you do. Throats are quite tasty once you get the bone out of it. Don't need to give me warning, you reek and I'll kill you on sight as well so it's good to know that we are on the same page. Until next time.~

Jacque growled as he got hit with a few shots, one in his shoulder, one in his thigh and one in his arm, but it didn't stop him.
He jumped after Ceon, ready to tear the lycan's throat out.
((Bullets silver?))

(si, senior, u nevr kno wen ur gonna b atkd by a rogue lycan. otherwise, i wouldn't be shooting at you with a gun) Ceon opened hios mouth, his enourmous teeth glistening with drool. He aimed the gun one more time, waiting for the perfect moment to fire the last bullet in his gun. If Ceon killed this lycan, good for him. He kills one of his own kind. If he dies, he dies knowing that he didn't fulfill his promise to Marissa. He couldn't die, not yet. Ceon held the gun at the lycan, his arms a bit shaky from the wound in his leg.
