The war had reached her home.
Her home and her family. Selene ran with all her strength she still had left. To every scream heard coming from her house, she ran faster and faster, until, on a certain moment, she found a strange group of warriors.
The screams were disappeared long minutes ago, and she was already too tired to run again. She hid herself behind a tree, with the intention of watching the scene.
The strange warriors had trapped a lycan, and were about to kill him.
They were vampires.
Selene watched everything with curiosity and astonishment.
"Human" she suddenly heard the scream coming from the middle of the trees. She prepared to run again, with the rest of her powers, to run away, this time from the vampires, but it was too late, for they had captured her already.
They took to the presence of the elder, Viktor, the leader of the vampires. He walked to her looked into the bottom of her beautiful eyes, and what she felt in Viktor´s eyes was such sadness and grief as she had never felt before, but she felt also something oddly familiar.
"She was spying at us My Lord" shouted a voice, booming like a thunder.
"No" shouted the vampire who discovered her "My Lord, the lycans are everywhere! We are in the middle of a war! Maybe she she only had the misfortune of being attacked by them and came here by an accident! Please My Lord, I beg you, Spare her life!"
"Just the same! She´s a human! My Lord, we have to kill her!" the other vampire insisted
"Silence" shouted the elder, who kept looking at Selene´s deep eyes. "Kraven" he called the handsome warrior who defended her so passionately, the very same vampire who discovered her from her hiding- place. "You will be in charge of this... human. I live her life in your hands"
Then, Kraven made a reverence to the elder and took Selene´s arm, taking her to an isolated part of the forest. She walked with the vampire, between stumbles, taken by the fear that took control over her.
They reached a small river, and he released her arm as suddenly as he took it before.
Selene was now looking to Kraven, not with the fear she felt before, but admiration instead. "Kraven", thought with herself. There was something of mysterious in that name, and every time she heard it she felt something completely inexplicable, such a pleasant feeling she couldn´t explain. his eyes looked like the sea in a stormy night, furious and penetrating, but they did not scary her, and so he felt it.
They were staring to each other. Not a single word spoken.
Silence.
Silence that looked like an eternity, but it didn´t bothered none of them. They had time.
She wanted to ask him a thousand things, but the words didn´t go out of her mouth.
he wanted to explain her why they were there, who he was, what he was, but he believed she already knew the answers.
And then it happened.
He walked to her and involved his arm around her waist. Drew her to himself, their bodies close to each other now. With his other hand, he held her neck, and moved it to the side, to give her the immortality kiss.
He kissed her. She screamed. She held his nape with strength and violence. She had never felt anything like that before.
It was like an amalgam of feelings, love and hate, heat and cold, joy and sorrow.
Kraven lay her down on the ground. Bit his wrist and gave her his blood, the blood that would make her a vampire, just like him.
And she drank the red, cold liquid flowing in his veins. In that instant, for all the eternity, she had become like him.
And so Kraven made Selene a vampire, with his sweet immortality kiss that would be forever marked in her body, in her soul, the loving kiss that bewitched him and made him her slave for all eternity.
