Michael joined her in the daylight. She knew she didn't have to explain how much this meant to her. He was obviously just as moved as she was. They kissed passionately, the kiss evolving into an immortal embrace that seemed to last forever.
Together, side-by-side, they watched the most glorious sunrise she could ever imagine. Her moist eyes reflected the first light of a whole new day. Selene felt as though her old life, which had come to a brutal end one night in a blood-splattered barn, had finally been restored to her…The future would bring many new mysteries, maybe even new dangers and fears, but the first step, the first new day, had arrived at last.
6 months later…..
Selene was worried, no not worried, Selene was afraid, an impossible feat for a Death Dealer currently perched upon the edge of building, surveying the chaos underneath. What both immortal species long dreaded had finally come true. Humans no longer killed each other, their efforts better spent on eradicating the vampires and Lycans. With an unlimited supply of silver nitrate and UV rounds, this was a new war.
It certainly didn't help that Michael and her were betrayed by both species and as a result, couldn't do much to stop this new threat. When word got out about the infamous duo, Michael's unique hybrid status made him a prime target for Antigen, the company behind the exterminations. Marshall Law was implemented not too long ago, and escape is the only chance at survival, so Selene, along with Michael, is leaving tonight.
Eyeing the helicopter above her, Selene realized that their decision may have come too late. The door burst open behind her and she quickly dove down to the fire escape to avoid their bullets. She waited until one of them was foolish enough to approach the edge and with one arm she flipped him down to his death. Selene made quick work of the rest them with her Corvinus-enchanced blood, breaking another's neck against the ledge. These humans who hunted her species and Michael would receive no pity from her Selene thought as jumped down the six story high building, landing perfectly on the bottom.
However, humans were relentless and two more were waiting at the bottom, armed with a fire hose that Selene quickly jumped to evade. She twisted in midair, landed and threw a grenade that easily killed the men while she took cover behind a garbage dump. Then, she quickly ran through the empty streets, hoping that Michael was ready to leave. She had stayed behind gathering some things while he went to secure a boat.
Reaching the pier, it took one look at her surroundings to realize that escape was not going to be easy. She froze, counting at least a dozen armed men with their guns trained on Michael.
"Michael" Selene cried out, running as fast as she can. I will not lose him again she vowed, refusing to give in to her despair.
The men opened fire at her, but they were too slow. Selene only had eyes for the hybrid in front of her, who was still vulnerable to the silver grenade that knocked him unconscious into the water. Very well then, I will follow him. In truth, Selene would follow Michael to hell itself, because he was hers and if he died so would Selene's chance at the happiness she had not thought possible since the death of her family.
The water was below freezing and Michael's unconscious body sunk further and further away from her. When she reached him, she tried to shake him awake, but her efforts were futile. Bullets barely missed them, but he would not respond to her calls.
"Michael!" she gurgled, taking his face into her hands. Please, please come back to me. Those were her last thoughts before a silver grenade wrenched them apart, rendering both unconscious.
