Cally had snagged a small wooden trunk as she passed through Olen's bedroom . She absentmindedly rubbed her fingers across the wooden surface . They were descending from the second floor to the second sub-basement . This was were most of the guild hall residents and workers stored the vehicles . Marcus looked at Cally thinking, she is too familiar with Olen and Clan home not to have been here before . " Cally, I still don't quite understand how . . . . " That beautiful deceivingly gentle face looked up . "Marcus I can't explain everything in one go . You wouldn't believe me anyway . Olen took decades before he understood the Wotan Clan . " She pondered a moment .
Advertisement"Rebecca Wotan killed her last pack Alpha in Jocko of the wild wolf biker gang . After she ripped him to into little bitty bits she went outside and laid down in the tall grasses and simply ceased to be . We were given a gift millennium ago . You know why wolves go crazy? Too many memories . " At this moment they arrived in the garage area . Marcus was curious where this secret door opened and quickly stepped out . Call looked at the retreating back of Marcus and nearly died . OH! her heart! Be still my heart! That man had the most perfect butt she had seen in centuries . Marcus was wearing black dress trousers that perfectly hugged his bottom . OH MY GOD! crashing thoughts exploded in her head, boxers, briefs, raw!!!!, thongs! Mustn't touch mustn't touch . 'We wants it . We needs it . Must have the precious . ' A quote from Lord of the Rings popped into her head .
Marcus was staring at the wall they had just stepped out of, not realizing Cally was completely dazed . The wall had slid open at a seam behind one of Olen's least used antique cars . Brillant camouflage on someone's part . Marcus was head of security and he had had no idea this was here . Consideringly, he asked "Are there more secret passages?" Cally without taking her eyes off her target nodded numbly . "Is something wrong?" A quick negative shake of the head . "Do I have something on my pants?"
Cally finally responded, *I am walking behind this man forever* "Umm what?" Marcus saw Cally was either in deep thought or otherwise distracted so he then enquired,"You were saying about Rebecca had too many memories? . Was she about to go mad?" "Uh, no, no nothing like that . " Cally took a deep breath in, closed her eyes, raised her head, opened her eyes focusing on Marcus's face and slowly exhaled . "Becca, as you know took out Old Jocko, you may have known him as Jake MacTíre . Becca had killed dozens upon dozens of mad wolves since she took Olen into her bloodline . She had walked through the fire, destruction, cruelty and death brought on by these crazed wolves, criminals gangsters and mass murders . She was an equal opportunity avenger . " Cally paused, *hmm avenger* "Anyway she had seen too much and warned Olen 2 years ago she was near the end of her endurance . The Wotan has never gone mad . " Cally smirked, muttering, "It might have looked like it a few times . "
"So this gift allows the Wotan Clan chief to not exactly die but to disappear and another, me, to take over . I have Becca's memories and many others in my head . If I really want to hunt through the memories; I can . Becca's last thought was Olen . So it was my first thought after she let go . " Marcus was bemused so he turned and led Cally to a black Jeep Grand Cherokee . "This seems rather impossible . " As he opened the door for her . "Oh, and werewolves makes perfect sense?" Cally slipped into the front seat and handed Marcus the wooden trunk she had been carrying .
Marcus put the trunk in the back and got in the Jeep . He started the engine before she spoke again . "Have you seen the BBC show 'Dr . Who' ?" He nodded . "A few times . " "So you understand the premise? A time Lord, when about to die regenerates into another body?" A thoughtful look appeared on his handsome face replacing his more serious look . "It's like that, sorta kinda . "
She leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes . She suddenly looked very tired so Marcus drove slowly out of the underground garage and headed into town . He occasionally looked over at his dozing passenger . *She was right it was a lot to take in . It looked like his life was going to get interesting in the future .
