Markus grinned as he walked infront of the two teens behind him.
He had made a haul with that dice gamble, he improved a skill of his and even learnt a new one that he'd actually need in the long run alongside learning a new type of magic.
Not only that though, he fucking got an overpowered perk.
Runes, one of the most overpowered types of magics in magical lore.
But then again, this only puts more work on his back and now he has four lores of magic he has to improve upon.
Though he wasn't complaining, he would never complain over getting more power.
" So Markus, you decided to also come huh?" Allison asked causing him to look back just as he opened the backseat door.
Feeling excited and happy at his gains he didn't even care that Scott's expression darkened when Allison started talking to him.
The boys jealousy was getting out of hand at this point.
" Well, Mom asked me to be more outgoing and since I don't want to worry her— here I am, being outgoing." He lied, already taking the chance to master his [Lying] skill.
It also didn't hurt that he was also rubbing salt on Scott's and their Mom's almost nonexistent relationships wound.
" Oh? So it has nothing to do with me?" She asked with a mischievous smile, probably remembering what he told her and her dad back in her house.
Rolling his eyes too alongside marring his face with a mischievous smirk." Maybe it is, maybe it isn't."
Hearing that Allison grinned as she shook her head and entered the front passenger seat followed behind by an worryingly quiet Scott.
Well, at least he was right to assume that Scott would control himself when around her.
He entered the car just behind them and kept quiet as he listened in as Scott immediately took hold of the conversation, or more so just kept bombarding Allison with nonsensical chatter just to keep her away from talking to him.
He didn't mind though, he had already obtained a great deal today and he was closer and closer to uncovering Allisons System mission.
Though he felt like just steamrolling it and maybe breaking into their house already and be done with it, but he was too paranoid to do that without atleast knowing more about them and about what types of runes they have going on in their house.
He did not want to suddenly find himself vaporized due to being impatient from an unknown Rune.
~|•|~
As soon as the car was parked and he had his opportunity, he tried dipping out on the two.
" Hey! Markus, wait up."
Of course he failed causing him to groan as he looked back to find Allison walking ahead at a seething Scott who's quiet anger turned his Aura an even bloodier red.
' This girl is seriously trying to get me fucked up huh?' He thought relenting to his fate, being as close to Allison as possible would keep him safe from Scott anyway do he truly didn't lose here.
" Yeah? Wassup?" He asked nonchalantly, playing it off as if he was a bit impatient to get to the party.
" Well, since we all came here together, how about we all stay close?" She asked almost innocently, but he was able to pick at the fact that she was up to something, what that was though he didn't know.
" *Sigh* Fine, just let me get us some drinks then? Is that cool?" He asked with a shrugg, he just needed a moment to do something.
That something was to scout out the party for every single supernatural inside, he was sure that he missed a lot of supernaturals on his brief search for anything supernatural in his school.
Heck, right now he could feel a couple supernatural beings in the party.
" Oh sure, we'll be by the pool." Scott said interjecting before Allison could speak and the smirk on his face told him that he actually felt as if he won something.
So giving his brother a nod, he walked into the party with them following right behind them.
Immediately his senses were bombarded with the smell of liquor, sex and...blood?
He frowned when he smelt that, his high perception doing more than allowing him to sense visual or auditory senses.
He quickly walked up to the alcohol table while trying to track the smell of blood and as poured some punch he was finally able to pinpoint it to upstairs where the smell of sex was most prominent.
Expanding his senses and aura field around him, he paused as a new aura he hadn't been acquainted with showed up.
Instead of the red that Were-wolves emanated, which might he add he had already spotted three of right at the party while not counting Derek who stayed in a dark corner staring at his brother.
The Aura he saw was instead a soft pink, it almost felt liquid in nature to the fiery heat that Were-wolves exuded.
He contemplated going up there and seeing what was happening but had that decision ripped from him when he felt a hand tap on his shoulder, having been too focused on the aura upstairs than on his surroundings.
Rookie mistake he realised, one that would probably have him killed in a heartbeat in this world.
" Markus." A silky and sultry voice called up to him, immediately he knew who it was and so with sagging sigh he looked back at Lydia fucking Martin staring at him.
" Lydia." He said nodding at her." Great party." His comment felt extremely hollow and that was intentional.
If she managed to discern that she didn't say as she simply grinned, mischief probably probably brewing in that pretty little head of hers. " And here I thought that my parties were too good for you, finally warming up to me perhaps?"
"*Scoff* That will be the day." He told her with a roll of her eyes.
" Oh? Still hung over about my little prank?" She asked, her smile slightly lowering.
" Lydia, you kissed me infront of your boyfriend and he punched me." He told her whilst recalling that titbit of information, that had been the start of the day him and Jackson never saw eye to eye again.
" And you beat him black and blue in retaliation, it did wonders to you reputation." She retorted without missing a beat.
"*Sigh* Not everything has to be about your reputation Lydia, plus let's not act like kissing me wasn't just subtle manipulation to get me to beat up Jackson because you were angry at him."
She hearing that rolled her eyes." Oh come on, it wasn't a big deal, you got more out if my little 'prank' than all parties involved, I see that as a win."
" That's not the point." He retorted agitated at her subtle mind games.
" Then what is?" She asked digging for something.
" You manipulated and used me, I don't like people who do that, meaning that I don't like you Lydia." He decided to tell her bluntly.
And for a minute he saw her wince before she quickly collected herself but dropped her smile as she suddenly got more serious.
" Okay fine, I get your point and I'm sorry." She said actually seemingly meaning it, atleast that's what her aura told me, it was hard to read whilst feeling all that 'death' around it.
" You're hella months too late to apologize, you know that right?" He told her, not wanting to give her the satisfaction.
" Fine, what can I do to make it up to you then?" She asked and again being genuine.
Now he knew that something was wrong.
Lydia wouldn't go to all that trouble just get someone to forgive her, she was spiteful like that. So that meant that she wanted something from him.
His rational side of him told him to immediately walk away and not fall for whatever she was cooking up, but another part was curious and having Lydia do something to earn his forgiveness brought up some more than repressed images and urges in him.
So with a grin he looked her dead in the eyes and.....

1*[—Author Note - ...I'm just glad I didn't roll a fucking Crit'100 or this already ridiculous perk would have been even more overpowered or a 69, cause that's a lewd Crit and I don't know how I'd go around that in this scenario, have Allison flash her tits out infront of her dad maybe?
~Also I just set up the story on my Pat! I'm gonna release the next chapter there early once it's done so if you want to read ahead, check that out!
