ON THE TRAIN
" Can I speak to Amelia please!"
"Who is this?"
"Selene and there is no time for introductions this message is urgent!"
There was a knock at the door.
"Lady Amelia, you have an urgent phone call."
"Who is it?"
"Selene."
"Hello"
"Lady Amelia, please stop the train and find another way here!"
"What why!?"
"It's a trap, I believe that Kraven and his men are setting you up for your death!"
"Why do you think that!?"
"Please milady I have no time to explain right now. Please trust me."
"Fine."
"...And milady don't inform your escorts to the mansion."
I can hardly fathom that bureaucrat Kraven setting me up for my death. I quickly need to stop this train. As I walked hastily I noticed the council looking at me with curiosity. It was unusual to see me out of the my personal chambers through the trip.
"Stop the train!"
The train came to a screeching halt.
"What's wrong milady?" A voice of a young death dealer asked.
"We need to redirect towards the closes safe house, and do not inform Kraven or his men."
"If I may ask milady, why?" The young death dealer questioned.
"I was informed that there is a possibility that Kraven and his men are leading us to our deaths when we reach the train station."
Gasp from the council members reverberated across the exquisite train.
"We will be going to the mansion, but by different means of transportation."
THE SAFE HOUSE
In a matter of moments the trained resumed it regular ways. Instead of going directly straight it made a quick turn. In a short amount of time we reached the safe house. The council members, death dealers, and I made our way into the well hidden safe house.
"Caden call Selene and give me the phone!"
"Yes milady."
"Hello"
"Selene it's Amelia, I need transportation for all of us. If what your saying is true it needs to be discrete and fast."
"Of course milady, where are you?"
"We are by the closes safe house next to the train station."
" I'll be there soon."
When I hung the phone up I contemplated what will make Selene think such things. I never underestimated Kraven's lust for advancement, but was he truly that brave. Kraven's resources alone would not be able to pull off such a intricate plan, so who was helping him? After thinking for a while I realized I had been thinking for thirty minutes. We heard the door slide open, it was Selene.
"Milady we need to move posthaste!"
"Absolutely Selene, and on the way you need to fill me in what this all about."
THE LIMO
We entered a black limo, Selene wasn't driving, she sat in the back with the council and I, while another death dealer drove.
"Selene explain yourself! Why do you think such things?"
"While two other death dealers and I were patrolling we caught a glance at two lycans. When we went to capture them they fired at us in full view of the public..."
"What does that have to do with anything?" I was getting annoyed.
"They shot a killed the two death dealers I was with. So I chased a lycan underground, then I heard what sounded like dozens of lycans. When I finally left to go back to the mansion I downloaded the images that was taken that night and noticed that the lycans were stalking a human, Micheal Corvin. I headed out alone, after Kraven paid little attention to my discovery, to Micheal Corvin's home. I was there I was attacked by at least ten lycans once of whom I think is Lucian."
"Lucian is dead Selene!"
"According to Kraven and only Kraven milady. I suspect Kraven is working with Lucian to over throw you, Lord Viktor, and Lord Markus in order to gain control over both great covens. Kraven slipped up after I brought Micheal to the mansion for saving my life. While we were discussing Micheal he said "Lucian wouldn't be the slightest bit interest in a human, Micheal otherwise." It was there when I started to look into history and recognized the pendant worn around Lucian's neck was the same of the man that attacked me. He also had similar features."
" Looking into the past is forbidden especially not because of suspicion."
"I know milady, but I rather be proved wronged rather it be after you and the other elders demise. That's why I ... I woke Markus and Viktor."
"You what!"
" I had no choice, the coven is in grave danger. My worry grew when I overheard that Kraven had instructed Soren and his team to pick you and the rest of the council members up rather than the normal team of death dealers." She was pleading with me.
I was furious, yet grateful to have such a protector among the great covens.
"Do the other elders know of this!?" I demanded to know.
" I tried to give them as much information through my thoughts, but since I cannot perfom cohesive visions as you their information could be foggy. I awoke them and discretely left as you wished to come get you."
I stared at her with a quizzical and enraged look. I could tell she was nervous by her eyes. She kept looking to the floor of the limo.
"Selene what would you do of it turned out you were wrong?" I questioned he with a semi humorous tone. Reluctantly she looked up.
"Plead for leniency. I only hold what was best for the coven in mind."
We drove the rest of the way in silence. I looked over to Selene who held her head down and played with her fingers. She looked up at me and rapidly looked back down. We had finally arrived after a tantalizing thirty minutes.
