A/N: Sorry for the long time I took to update, I had tons of homework, but believe me, updating was always on my mind. And I apologize in advance for the length (kinda short). Anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 3: Shoot Now, Ask Later
Selene increased her pace so that she was walking alongside Rigel—who slowed to a leisurely pace.
"It seems as if something is troubling you, Selene. Did something else happen earlier this evening," he spoke serenely, "besides the conflict in the salon?" Selene looked into his pale blue eyes and smiled—it was amazing how well Rigel could read her. Besides Kahn, he was the only vampire in the mansion she considered to be a friend.
"I had a discussion with Kraven if that's what you mean?" Selene couldn't hold back a smile as she recalled how he fell. Rigel caught her smirk and without any surprise in his voice said:
"You slammed him in the face again, didn't you?"
"He deserved it this time!"
"And what about the last time?"
"He deserved it then, too," Selene answered quickly, hearing Kraven's words in her head. Rigel knew better than to pry into the subject further, and the two vampires continued to walk in silence.
The two Death Dealers kept to the shadows as they crept through downtown Budapest, finally drawing closer to where the Lycans had been spotted. Suddenly, a gunshot ripped through the deathly quiet air.
Selene whipped out her Berettas and dropped to her haunches, icy blue eyes scanning the dark alleyways. A flicker of movement caught Selene's eye, triggering her 'shoot now, ask later' instinct as she fired into the night. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she heard a yelp of pain. Rigel threw Selene a glance, and she nodded, telling him that she was thinking the same thing: Lycans were crawling through the streets in their transformed state.
Slowly straightening, Selene kept one Beretta trained on where she saw movement and the other one ready to fire at any unexpected threat, Rigel trailing not too far behind.
A/N: Again I'm so sorry that this took so long to update, and I'm sorry about the length. I decided to give you what I had, so I can keep working without feeling super guilty for not updation. All Reviews (even flames) are welcome, but anything that will help me improve my writing would be much appreciated.
