Chapter 2
It all happened so fast. Raze was behind me, making sure he wasn't seen with me because that would totally make it obvious. Tyler was in front of me a couple of people, but I didn't expect the vampires to move so fast.
I heard a gun shot, and thought maybe they tried aiming for Tyler. But he looked back at me, and I saw his eyes grow. He started running my way, shouting at Raze to do the same. Well not really telling him, he just kept saying my name. I had really no idea what was going on until I looked down. Right in my chest I saw a hole. Not just any hole, a bullet hole. They shot me! They actually knew it was me!
"Akasha." Raze said finally realizing what Tyler was shouting about. I looked up and looked at him. I didn't cry. But I was about to. This bullet was made of silver, and of course silver was the only thing that killed a Lycan.
Before Tyler could get to me, a vampire grabbed him from behind. Holding him back? And Raze never made it to me in enough time, they grabbed me and pulled me onto the subway train.
It was a girl that grabbed me. She had short black hair that was kind of wavy. She must be Selene. This was what Raze was talking about to Lucian. She was a Death Dealer, and yet here she stood, holding me, not even trying to kill me.
"Aren't you going to kill me?" I asked her, as she began to pull out the bullet.
She shook her head, "I cannot. It is not my place. And my mission was to only kidnap you. Not kill you."
I just asked one simple question. "Why?"
"You will see soon enough." She said.
When we got off the train she took me to a silver car, and put me in the back seat.
"I know you aren't used to being treated like this," She said, "But I have a reputation to keep up, if you would understand."
I smiled, "Of course." I couldn't really understand why she was being nice to me. I mean, she was vampire, was she not?
"My name is Selene, by the way." She introduced after a couple minutes of silence.
I looked up at her in surprise, "Oh, umm, my name is Akasha."
She smiled at me in the mirror, "Believe me, I know. You've been the discussion of our meetings."
I looked at her in confusion, "Meetings? You mean vampires have meetings?"
She laughed, "Don't Lycans? Well, you know the prophecy don't you?"
I nodded, "Who hasn't?"
She laughed again, "I see. Well, that was my mission. To capture you. It was the Prince Lestat's idea. He wanted to meet you. Make you change your mind, you know? Of course Viktor was furious. He didn't want this, said he'd rather be off dead. But the prince said he would kill him himself if he didn't get to meet you. So, Viktor sent us."
I smiled, "That's silly. I mean, I'm really not that important."
"You'd be surprised."
