Hello everyone, and welcome to my newest story. For anyone who is curious; I may be writing another chapter to Beating of Their Hearts. It all depends on the results of the poll I have on my profile. So if you want another chapter, post it on the poll.

I don't own Underworld.

The sounds of police sirens rang through the air as a blur of black jumped off the roof, landing on another.

I have to make it to Michael, whatever the cost. Selene thought, running to reach the next building. Suddenly was surrounded. Humans had blocked her in; she was trapped.

Her eyes changed to blue as she reached to her holster. She pulled out her guns and began to shoot. They fired back, and pain exploded in her arm as the bullets pierced her skin.

Quickly shaking off the pain, she ran past them and jumped. After landing on the ground, Selene made a run for it. She remembered the last time she had seen Michael; when they had planned where to meet up and where they were going.

-Flashback-

"So we will meet by the harbor, and from there we head to America." Michael confirmed, looking at Selene, who was staring out the window. "What's wrong?"

"It's just… What if we get caught? I don't want to see you die. I could barely stand it when I thought you were dead. If you died for real…" Michael was shocked by her confession and then realized why she wasn't facing him; she was crying. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. He felt her body shake with sobs.

"We won't get caught, and I won't die" He said. To silence her cries, he laid a small kiss on her lips. Soon the kiss turned into more and they ended up in the bed, making love for the last time before Selene left to provide a distraction.

-End flashback-

To Selene's surprise, the humans had her surrounded. Police cars around her and guns were pointed at her from all angles.

"We need to kill her, fire!" The chief yelled, and they began to fire at the Death Dealer.

Ducking to avoid most of the gunfire, she pulled out her weapons and shot at the men around her. Only a few were hit. She wasn't focused, she couldn't get her mind off of Michael and if he was safe. She felt the bullets pierce her side and chest, as well as her legs. She sank to the ground and the police chief walked and stood over her, aiming a gun at her head.

"Time to die, you monstrosity," He said, placing his finger of the trigger. She looked down, hoping Michael would make it out alive. A silent tear slid down her face. A gun shot rang out from the area.

Selene looked up, not comprehending what was going on. The police chief had fallen to the ground, dead. Michael was running towards her, making his transformation as he ran. He stood in front of his mate, growling at the police. They held their form, and even fired bullets at him. It didn't seem to do anything. He ran at the men, using his claws to slit each one of their throats. Once they had all dropped dead, he moved to Selene's side.

"Selene!"

He quickly morphed back to his human form and knelt by her. Her breaths were coming in ragged and shallow. She was focusing on his face, trying to stay conscious. Michael touched her side, and found his hand covered in blood… her blood. Without thinking, he bit into his own wrist and forced her to drink. Selene quickly latched on, enjoying the sweet blood. The bullets were pushed out of her body, and the wounds were closed. She wrapped her arms around his body and hugged him.

"Thank you." She whispered and then stood up with his help.

"We need to get moving, can you walk?" He asked, and received a nod. She released him and they began to run to the pier. Once again the sound of a siren began to follow them.

"Shit, Selene, do you know if there's a short cut?" She was asked.

"Yeah, there's one not far ahead, through an ally." She replied, taking his hand. The two ran into the ally and through to the other side.

The pier was in sight, but standing between them and safety was what seemed like an armada of humans. Selene pulled out her guns and began shooting. Michael began the transformation, but noticed she was handling it fine.

"Come on!" She yelled, grabbing his hand again and running straight towards the humans. At the last moment, they jumped and landed on the other side on the dock.

Bullets were flying by them as they ran onto the boat. As soon as they got on, the boat began moving; they were safe.

Selene and Michael were panting. He smiled at her and kissed her lips, enjoying the relief of being safe.

"Michael," She said, with hesitation "There's something I need to tell you." After she said that, she yawned. That was one of the most stressful things she has ever done, and it wore her out.

"Can it wait until tomorrow? You need sleep. You over-exerted yourself. You almost died Selene." He replied

"I didn't," She yawned again "almost die; you were there to save me."

"But what if I had been too late? You could have died, and I don't know how I could have lived with myself if that had happened." He kissed her forehead "Right now, you need sleep. You can tell me anything you want in the morning. I love you Selene." He didn't get a response; Selene had already fallen into a deep sleep. Soon he followed her to the world of dreams with a new found hope towards the future.
