Selene stood on top of the roof of Antigen; a cold wind blew on her face, sirens resonated in her hears, she knew that Detective Sebastian couldn't hold the police for long but she had to find him.
Her brown eyes searched for her lover, Michael, she had him for a brief moment, now he was gone again, her daughter held her hand while David made sure no police officers followed them up the roof.
The young girl looked at her mother and she could see that she was on the verge of tears; she held her hand tighter to make her feel better, which did because Selene held her hand equally as tight.
The girl turned her sight back to the city just when she started seeing through someone else's eyes, the person was running, running for his life, the person then turned and saw the sea and several boats, she then came back to reality and gasped knowing who the person was.
Selene turned to her daughter worried but her face didn't show such emotion, David also turned to the girl after hearing her gasp.
- What is it? - Selene asked
The girl turned to her mother, her eyes were filled with hope, hope to able to meet her father, Selene saw the hope in her eyes, which made her confused.
- I just saw him. I think he's in an area near water and boats. - The girl answered.
Selene couldn't believe what she was hearing, Michael was still in the city, she could deduce where Michael was thanks to her daughter's description, she thought, "He has gone to the last place we were together. The pier."
- I know where he is. - Selene stated
She then thought that maybe it wasn't a good idea to take her daughter with her, maybe it was better if she went with David to the safe house, she couldn't let her daughter get hurt.
- Stay with David, I'll go find your father. - Selene said as she looked at the city once again.
The girl couldn't believe her ears, her mother wanted her to stay behind when they finally found her father, she didn't want to be left out, she thought, "I want to meet my father! Why does she push me away?"
- No, I'm coming with you. - The girl demanded.
- It's too dangerous. There too many police officers. I can't let you be captured again. - Selene said
- But I want to see my father! I want to meet him! Why do you push me away?!- The girl shouted frustrated.
- Because I love you! - Selene shouted
The girl was left stunned; she didn't expect Selene to say that, David was also shocked; he had never seen Selene show emotion before.
Selene turned back to her daughter and the girl saw something she never thought she would see in her eyes, love, not just love for anyone but for her; Selene had learned to love this young girl despite only knowing about her just a few hours ago, she didn't want to lose someone she loved again, she couldn't risk it.
- I wish I could take you with me but this s too dangerous. I rather you be with David at the safe house than with me being followed by police. Please stay with him, I promise I'll be back. - Selene said softly.
The girl sensed from Selene's voice that she wouldn't be able to talk her mother out into letting her to accompany her so she reluctantly nodded but she could also tell that she was only doing this for her safety.
- Okay. But promise me you'll be back! - The girl said as she looked at Selene straight in the eye.
- I promise. - Selene said as she kissed her forehead.
The girl slightly smiled liking how Selene kissed her forehead, Selene then turned to David who was now standing beside her; David was still holding his knife.
- Watch over her. I'm counting on you. - Selene said
- She'll never leave my sight. - David said
Selene nodded at him believing him, she looked at her daughter one last time before she jumped off to the building nearby, she continued doing so until she got to the dock, when she eventually got there, she jumped down silently to the pier.
The pier was dark, there was no light, Selene figured that the pier had been shut down after she and Michael were captured almost a decade prior, she became part of the darkness, no one noticed a slender woman clad head to toe in tight body leather walking around the pier.
She then felt Michael nearby but also something else, she stopped and sniffed the air, she smelt the unmistakable smell of Lycan, she laid against a wall and tried to see through the darkness, her fight against Quint earlier that night left her exhausted but she wasn't going to back down.
A low growl penetrated through her ears, three Lycans showed up from the shadows and surrounded her, Selene noticed that these Lycans were rabid, she also noticed that they didn't know who she was and she used it to her advantage.
She grabbed hold of a piece of wood that was behind her and threw it directly at the Lycan that was in front of her, it hit its heart precisely, the other Lycans looked at their fallen companion with confusion but then they looked at Selene with rage as they charged at her.
Selene used her speed to avoid them but one of them hit her in the ribs causing her to fall on the ground, she looked at her ribs just as a sharp of pain radiated in her body, one of the Lycans sliced through her leather suit reaching her skin.
"Stupid! Fuck! Fuck! I was overconfident… sloppy. Now they have me!" Selene thought angrily at her own carelessness.
She quickly rolled over as a Lycan tried to grab her, she spotted a broken pipe on the ground, she dragged herself towards it while trying to contain the pain, as soon as she grabbed the pipe, one of the Lycans grabbed her leg and threw her several meters away and crashed against a concrete wall.
Selene started to feel dizzy but she quickly shook it off as she felt her ribs breaking, she felt blood on her cheek and realized that the Lycan cracked her skull, it was clear she had a serious concussion.
Despite the danger she was in, she couldn't help but think about her daughter and Michael, thinking that she may never see them again, a tear fell at the thought but she quickly dried it, she was Selene, the best Death Dealer amongst the Vampires! She wasn't going to back down!
She slowly got up leaning against the wall, blood dripped from her open wounds as she gripped on the pipe, her now white eyes glared at the Lycans who were in shock at seeing her standing.
She left them no time to react as she threw the pipe at them, a loud groan came from one of the Lycans as it dropped dead on the ground, the other Lycan charged at Selene soon after.
Selene slowly slid against the pillar waiting for her untimely death, her strength was almost gone as more blood left her body, the Lycan now stood in front of her ready to strike, as soon as the Lycan swung her arm towards her, a hand wrapped itself around the arm and twisted it as it was paper.
The Lycan roared in pain as another hand was placed on its lower jaw and ripped it out, Selene looked at the scene with confusion but then she recognized the mysterious figure who came to her rescue.
- Michael? - Selene asked softly.
Michael stood over Selene in his Hybrid form, his breath was heavy not only from the fight but also from the run he made to get to Selene before she got killed, his heartbeat went faster as he saw Selene's face, he had missed her so much.
He quickly rushed over to her holding her head, he could clearly see she was badly injured, he would enjoy more holding her in his arms again if it weren't for the fact that Selene could be dying, he then noticed her wounds but they weren't bleeding anymore, maybe she could still make it.
He carefully placed Selene in his arms, laying her head on his chest and he quickly took her to one of the warehouses that were at the pier, he carefully laid her on an old blanket, she was now unconscious but still breathing.
He transformed back into his Human form while he searched for medical supplies, he finally found a first aid kit and quickly rushed back to Selene, he was glad to see that her superficial wounds were healing.
He kneeled beside her and carefully inspected her, he noticed her broken ribs and her head wound, he quickly but delicately healed her head wound and ribs, when he was done, he laid beside her but before he fell asleep he whispered in her ear:
- I love you, Selene.
Selene slowly regained her senses as she opened her eyes, she groaned as she felt a massive headache and she instantly remembered what happened before she fell asleep, her eyes scanned the area, she wasn't at the pier but in a warehouse, she then noticed the blanket beneath her and, finally, felt warmth on her neck.
Her head turned carefully trying not to make her headache worse and she gasped in shock at the sight, her brown eyes widen at the sight of Michael sleeping right next to her.
She couldn't believe he was here, her fingers traced his handsome face as his eyes abruptly opened upon hearing the gasp, his eyes blues meet hers and smile soon formed on his face.
- Selene! - Michael said as he wrapped his arms around her. - You okay! - Michael said
- Michael? Is it really you? - Selene asked as she hugged him back.
- Yes, Selene, it's me. - Michael said and soon after he crashed his lips on hers.
Selene's response was imminent as their lips moved in sync, their hands moved around each other's bodies, Selene moaned quietly into the kiss as she felt his warmth in her mouth.
Then they parted as they gasped for air, Selene's hand fell on his cheek as her thumb rubbed his warm skin, Michael caressed her hair.
- I'm so glad to see you. So much has happened. There's so much I have to tell you. - Selene said
- I know. The last thing I remember was the pier. That's why I came here. - Michael said
Selene didn't know how to explain to Michael that they had been frozen for more than a decade and that she gave birth to a daughter, but she knew she had to, he deserved to know; her hand fell as her face turned dark.
Michael got worried when he saw her expression change, he moved his hand to her cheek subconsciously and his thumb rubbed her cheek just like hers did a few seconds ago.
- Selene, are you all right? Is there something wrong? - Michael asked softly slightly shaking.
Selene intertwined her hand with Michael's searching for his comfort, she then brought their hands to her lips and she planted a kiss on his knuckles.
- We have been separated for twelve years. - Selene said
Michael couldn't believe his ears, he thought "Twelve years! Jesus Christ! What the hell happened during that time?!"
- There's more to explain but… for now… I just want to stay here for a few more minutes in silence. I just want to take in the moment. - Selene said
Michael nodded understanding her, he shifted so Selene was more comfortable and he laid her head on his chest while he sat against a semi-trailer.
A comfortable silence between the two lovers was exactly what they needed, they held each other enjoying the fact that they were finally back together; their faces were covered with love for each other.
Selene wanted to tell Michael more about what had happened but she knew she would have more time later, besides, showing their daughter to him would be better than telling him.
Selene then felt it was time for her to head back to her daughter and David, she swung her feet to the side of the blanket and got up abruptly but she immediately regretted her action as she stumbled slightly.
Michael quickly caught her around the waist preventing her to fall on the blanket again; Selene placed her hand on her forehead still feeling a slight headache.
- I guess I'm still suffering the consequences of the fight. - Selene murmured
- You had a very heavy concussion, Selene. Your other wounds healed nicely overnight. Your head might be throbbing for a while. - Michael explained
He then moved in front of her and checked her eyes to make sure she didn't have any more problems, satisfied that he found everything fine, he sighed contentedly.
Selene slightly chuckled at his sigh, she then placed her hands on his shoulders for support since she still felt dizzy, Michael helped her stand up and Selene steadied herself.
- We should get going, Michael. I have someone I want you to meet. - Selene said
Michael was surprised, to put it mildly, he didn't think Selene would have allies so soon, as far as he knew, she could have escaped on the same day as him.
He then noticed that she was slightly grinning and now he was more interested, her eyes showed amusement and he enjoyed it.
- Whom am I supposed to meet? - Michael asked
- You'll find out soon enough. I don't want to ruin the surprise. - Selene answered still grinning.
Selene's headache was now fading away so now she felt strong enough to walk to the safe house David mentioned back at Antigen, she was glad that David told her the location before the went to the roof; she leaned forward and gave Michael a peck on the lip.
Michael smiled excitedly to know this mysterious person; he grabbed hold of her hand and tugged her out of the warehouse and into the pier.
