A/N: hey, this is BeautifullyTragic. now, i know that if you read this without checking out "Eyes of the Beholder" over on DWK's profile, this spin off will make absolutely no sense whatsoever. this story came from a random idea DWK and I threw out in the open while writing EOTB. so while she is uploading that story to her account, I thought, what the heck? I'll upload this one onto mine. I can't take full credit, DWK and I have probably spent more time scoping this story out, more than we have writing the other one, but this one is more or less just for fun. there will be talked about Gelphie, but the entire story is basically Elphaba/OC, Glinda/OC, and OC/OC. so here it is! I present to you the first part of "Lost Love, Found Love" written by DarkwolfKnight and BeautifullyTragic939.

Selene blinked as she breath in the cold, wet air that lingered in the mist and fog of that dark, gloomy night. Sighing, the brunette found it to be the perfect night for hunting. The thirst burned deep in the back of her throat more and more with each passing second.

Again, she inhaled deeply, her eyes suddenly snapping open as she became vaguely aware of a prescence besides her own. Her nose wrinkled and her fangs began to ache as the scent of that one, lonely werewolf became pertinent. "Perfect," she hissed.

Violet padded through the forest and brush cautiously. She mentally slapped herself for putting off hunting for so long, and because of that, it now became necessary to hunt on what she knew to be Vampire territory.

Every sense on high alert, the werewolf walked out into the clearing, but stopped dead in her tracks as she smelled an all-too-familiar scent. "Bloodsucker..."

"You seem to be lost, mutt. You've stepped over a line," Selene growled. "This territory has been claimed by a Vampire clan!"

Violet smirked. "A Clan of one? Pitiful." Her tail began to twitch and swish back and forth as she saw those two glowing eyes in the shadows before her. "Let it be known: I mean the Vampires no harm. However, should you or any of them attack, I cannot guarantee their safety."

Selene moved through the shadows silently. "Do not force me to take steps, dog. You will not be spared."

Violet stood her ground. It had been months since her last Vampire encounter. Truthfully, she was in the mood for a fight. Her eyes suddenly narrowed as she again smelled the scent of the Vampire, which was growing eerily familiar with every passing second.

This scent, Violet swore, belonged to the very Vampire that had been out hunting in her territory several months back. They had, unfortunately, escaped that night, but Violet had been out on a search for this Bloodsucker to make sure that she wouldn't attack again. "Have we met?" she asked aloud, curious as to what the Vampire would say.

The Vampire scoffed. "I doubt it. I don't socialize with your kind." She growled again. "I will say it more cleary for you: leave, or die."

"No."

Selene smiled. "I was hoping you'd say that."

Violet had to admit: whoever this Vampire was, she was skilled in what she did. The creature had rushed her and covered the ground between them a lot faster than Violet had anticipated. Snarling, she extended her claws, slashing out and shredding part of the Vampire's cloak.

Hissing, Selene did a kick flip, bringing her boot up to make contact with the werewolf's jaw.

Violet yelped and stumbled back momentarily, but lept after the Vampire, pinning her to the ground. Her eyes widen as she then came to notice that whoever this creature was, had to have been no older than eighteen by the looks of her when she was turned. She quickly snapped back to her senses and returned to the fight, bringing her claw up to grip the Vampire's throat tightly.

"Nice try," Selene hissed, reaching up and delivering a hard right hook across the wolf's face, then bringing her feet up to it's stomach and successfully kicking the creature off of her. She stood up, rubbing her throat gently. As she brought her hand away from the stinging flesh that made up her gullet, Selene's eyes widened as she saw blood on the palm of her hand. She began to snarl visciously as she became aware that the werewolf had done even the slightest damage to her. "Did you honestly think that you could beat me, mongrol?"

Violet hit the ground hard, wincing as she found that she had landed on her left hind leg wrong. She looked to the Vampire, snarling in response. "I don't think I can beat you, Bloodsucker... I know I can!"

Selene bared her fangs furiously, licking her teeth in anticipation, the adrenaline kicking into overdrive. Snarling once more, Selene took a faint step forward. "We will see."

Violet turned and lept up into the trees and moved silently, weaving in, out, and around the branches in her path. She smirked. "I guess we will," she spat. Her tail swayed back and forth almost rhythmically as she crept through the trees above the Vampire.

Now angered, Selene lept up into the trees as well, slashing and clawing at everything she saw. "Where are you?! Come out and fight, coward!" she hissed.

Smiling as her tail wagged slightly at the Vampire unknowingly following her plan. She silently slipped down to the ground and rose up to her hind legs. She placed her front paws on the trunk of the tree and began to push against it, making the tree sway back and forth dangerously.

As Selene moved to leap from the swaying tree, her shredded cloak became entangled with an unyielding branch. "Shit!" She tugged at the fabric frantically as the tree began to creak. If any of those branches were sharp enough to be considered a stake... She shuddered as the thought of what could happen echoed in her panicked brain.

Violet roared in triumph as the trunk snapped, crashing to the ground, bringing the Vampire down with it.

Selene yelped as a branch pierced her upper right leg. The impact of the tree hitting the hard ground caused her head to slam against the sturdy tree trunk. She groaned, temporarily unable to move.

Violet moved quickly and grabbed the Vampire, tearing her from the fallen tree and throwing her a good twenty feet. She ran after the Vampire and snorted. "Look who's all tough now..."

Using the last bit of strength she had in her, Selene lept up onto the wolf's back: a possibly fatal mistake on her part.

Grunting, Violet first thought to buck the Vampire off, but after reconsidering it, she took a different approach. She jumped high into the air and flipped over, bringing the Vampire down with a knock-out body slam.

Selene cried out sharply as she felt her arm snal under the weight of the werewolf. She suddenly felt a deep, soothing sleepiness slowly creep into her, clouding her mind and body as she brought her eyes to close, her head now falling to the side. Slipping into unconsciousness, she unintentionally left herself to the mercy of her unnamed foe.

At first glance, Violet thought to leave the Vampire to die slowly and alone, but she knew that she simply couldn't be that heartless. It wasn't who she was, and she scolded herself for even considering that route.

Moving cautiously, Violet slowly approached the Vampire's prone body and nudged them to see if they were awake, unconscious, or otherwise. Upon realizing that the Vampire was, indeed, unconscious, Violet found herself staring absent-mindedly at the Vampire, in awe. She had never been so close to a Vampire before without it trying to kill her. They looked just as fragile as a human, but even a fool of a Werewolf would have known to spend every effort to avoid a run in with this species.

After several moments, Violet sighed, pulling the limp figure onto her back sympathetically. She sniffed the air for a second, then took off in the direction of the scent.

This hospice had saved her life too many times to even begin to count, and she knew that they would be able to tend to this Vampire's wounds. She felt partially to blame, seeing as the Vampire was only trying to protect her territory. Knocking on the door, Violet was greeted with a warm, welcoming smile. "Hello, Violet... what brings you to us today...?" the nurse asked, but her face grew stern when she caught sight of the Vampire on Violet's back. "What did you do this time?"

Violet gently shrugged the Vampire's figure off of her own. "I accidentally wandered into this one's territory and was too dumb to back off. At first, I thought to kill her, but-"

The nurse put up a hand to silence her, lifting the Vampire's body into her own arms with ease. She walked into the hospice and placed the unconscious creature in the first room. She turned abruptly to Violet. "You know how I feel about this, Violet..." she hissed.

Violet nodded, looking to the Vampire. "I know you're neutral, but please, help her." The nurse tensed up momentarily, but then suddenly relaxed. She nodded, sighing. "I have to go, tell her that I hope we never see each other again," Violet whispered as she turned round and darted out of the room and building.

Nearly six hours later, Selene awoke to find herself in an unfamiliar room. Upon sitting up, she realized she was in a hospital bed. She jumped off the stucture of it and looked around. There was absolutely no one around. It seemed that everyone was away at that moment, and so Selene didn't hesitate for a second in taking this silence to her advantage.

Moving quickly, Selene checked herself to find her wounds completely healed. She crept silently out of the hospice without a hitch.

Smelling the air thoroughly, Selene ran after that scent that still lingered in her nose. "I'll find you," she muttered. "We have some unfinished business to attend to..."

And with that, she darted after the lone wolf, unaware of what fate had in store for her.
