Lucian

Laura

Just the Beginning of the War

Chapter 1

Two decades has passed since the creation of both species. The war had begun. Victor increased his army. Starting the creation a legion of vampires. to protect them from the very first clan of werewolves. A vicious and infectious breed. Unable to take human form ever again... until 'he' was born Lucian. And although every fiber of Victor's soul warned him to slay this child he did not. Over the years this child grew. He possessed strength and focus that the ones before him did not. Victor would use Lucian infectious blood to his benefit taking advantage of the child's thirst pitting it against him as he was forced to feed off humans Victor's slaves. Instead he created a new race of immortals...Lycans: Werewolves but human. Unlike the others this new breed could be harnessed. Enslaved to guard them daylight hours of their masters...or so Victor thought...so long ago. Until one slave stood up with Lucian against their masters.

Lucian was getting out of the black-smith shop finishing the new weapons. When he heard one of the guards was 'discipline' one of the slaves. Which really meant the slave was probably being beaten within an inch of their life. With a heavy sigh Lucian stopped and walked out of the shop. The sight that awaited him made his blood go cold. A guard was beating a young girl. One of the maids the reason was unknown to Lucian but that didn't make it any more tolerable. The guard said "You don't tell us what to do! You do as you're told! You are as low as the dogs here!"

This is barbaric. He thought as he stalked over to the guard. Lucian grabbed the guard arm just as he was bringing down the whip down for another lash on the girl. The guard turned around towards Lucian with an evil and dangerous look on his face. Lucian remained strong and growled out his Lycan teeth showed "That's enough it not as if she assaulted one of your men! You have no right to bet her down! Do you have orders to?"

The guard gave him another evil glare and then stalked off. Everyone knew not to mess with Lucian because he was Victor's favorite and unless they had death wish they obeyed that unwritten rule. While Lucian didn't quite like that he did enjoy its perks every once in a while.

Lucian turned his attention back to the girl on the ground. It had escaped his notice earlier but now he realized that this girl, who was no more than 25, was human. It was unusual. But not unheard of. For Victor to keep human as slaves. He usually killed them or turned them. Either Victor liked this girl or Sonja wanted to keep her. He offered the girl his hand and slowly helped her get to her feet. This allowed him to get a better look at her. She has long dark brown hair. Much like his but longer. Her skin was very pale almost vampire like but not quite her eyes were beautiful olive color that could almost give Sonja a run for her money. Her lips were full and light pink in color. She was beautiful but not compared to his Sonja.

"What is your name, my dear?" said Lucian in a soft voice trying to not scare her.

"Laurena. My name is Laurena." She said softly. It was so quiet that he would not have heard it without his lycan hearing. She finally looked at him.

"That is a beautiful name. It means victory doesn't it?" her eyes widened slightly and she smiled and nodded.

"Not many nobles know that. So how does a lycan black-smith know it?"

"I just know a lot of things that one was easy." He smiled that he made her smile.

"That's very impressive for a lycan Lucian." How does she know my name? He thought.

"Thank you. But how do you know my name? And why have you not been turned or killed yet? Victor usually doesn't like keeping humans."

"First of all call me Laura...Laurena is to formal. Seond of all who doesn't know you Lucian you are well respected. All the lycans look up to you. And as why I'm still alive is Sonja saved me she told lord Victor that she wanted a normal human friend. Victor agreed as long as I worked as a slave so here I am."

Lucian thought of course Sonja saved her she was always so sweet and kind hearted which was odd for a death dealer but not for Sonja. Some thought that she was cold hearted person but she could be loving if you gave her a chance.

Lucian brought her in the back of the black smith place and bandaged her cuts. As he did this Laura said "Do you want to know a secret. Would you like to know how I really know about you and who you are Lucian," Lucian looked up at her wanted to know what she was talking about and he nodded. Wanted to know more about this human and what he was hiding. "Lady Sonja told me about you. More specifically about the two of you. About your relationship. Now before you get mad I want you to know that I have no desire to tell about what I know. I know that you would kill me and I care about Sonja very much she is my best friend. I would never hurt the both of you. I can tell you that I can be an ally. I am willing to do anything I can to help the two of you in anyway. To insure your secret."

Lucian took a step back from bandaging Laura. He believed her that he could trust her. Plus no one was brave enough to betray Sonja to let them live long enough.

Lucian nodded and said "All right I believe you. And you're right if you betray us I will kill you that is a promise. Sonja could be killed if this gets out." He growled dangerously.

"I know Lucian and I would never do that. You can trust me. You are taking a big risk but life is full of them."

The two of them continued to talk and share stories as Lucian cleaned Laura's back. Twenty minutes later she was waving good bye and leaving the black smith shop. She was already late for the meeting Sonja she didn't need to make her madder then needed.

When Laura reached Sonja's chamber she knocked quietly and waited for her Lady to answer. The door opened and Sonja grabbed and shut the door behind.

"My apologies for my lateness milady. I had an unfortunate run in with a guard. You know how they don't like me that much and the humans. And then Lucian came and helped me and we talked for a bit. You were right Lady Sonja he is a very sweet man." Laura said quickly. She wanted to get her explanation out before Sonja grew mad. She looked at Sonja's face and saw her usual stoic expression but after a few seconds a wide grin graced her lips.

"He is quite a wonderful isn't he? I was actually nearby when you told him about us. I am not mad at you but I do have something to tell you that is very important and you need to hear this," there was a grim look on Sonja's face and it worried Laura. Has she overstepped her boundaries by telling Lucian? She looked back at her Lady and waited for her to continue. "I consider you my best friend as well. I care so much about you. You are like a sister to me. That is why I saved you from my Father. I want a handmaiden for me during the daylight hours why I sleep. And Luka can't do it because she sleeps in the day as well. Since you already come here I would appreciate it." Laura smiled at Sonja Lucian was right she was a gentlest warrior she had ever met. And the nicest vampire that actually treated her right.

"Thank you milady." Was all Laura could choke out without crying. Then Laura felt a sharp pain go through her. Her shoulder and back was acting up. Sonja noticed that and with vampire speed and before Laura could do anything she had the bandage off and hissed at the sight of the whip marks and said "Who Did This to you!"

Laura said "One of the guards did. I was helping a Lycan who fell down. And they dragged me aside and punished me. I told them that there was no rule against helping them up. I don't know which guard."

Sonja put cream on my shoulder like Lucian did and tied the bandage tighter and said "I will speak to some one about this. This will not go by."

Laura said "no Lady Sonja don't it was nothing." She smiled at Sonja trying to lighten the mood. "Now if you excuse me I have some errands to attend to."

Sonja was about to say something but stopped and nodded at her and Laura took her leave of the vampire princess.

Over the following months. Sonja and Laura continued to become closer as friends. As did Lucian and her. Laura had to admit that she had feelings for Lucian but she would try not to act on them for the sake of Sonja. Laura was unsure if she would be seen as anything but a messenger to the Lycan but every time he greeted her with a smile she felt different. Lucian would kiss her on the cheek her heart would flutter. He had taken to defending her when the occasion arose as did his lycan brothers if Lucian himself was not around Laura thinks they did because they respected Lucian. Laura accepted this as a great honor. Lucian had even stated teaching her to use a sword claiming it may be useful one day every time he accidentally nicked her knuckles with the blade.

Here is a new story that poped in my head hope you like it. I am a big fan of the underworld movies. I thought what about if Lucian had a friend to help with the revolution. A lucian/OC story.

Tell me what you think and review so that I can update soon.
