A/N: Wow, I have a little jubilee! It's my tenth chapter. Not so bad, since I was going to write just one, hah? Well, I hope that you like it anyway and I hope that you don't regret because you wanted more.
Selene hid her face on Michael's chest. She didn't feel well during last two days. Her pregnancy finally provoked ordinary consequences, like sickness. She didn't like to be like this. She even wished to miss this pregnancy too, like it was with Eve. Selene liked to be a mother even if it was strange and new feels for her, but she didn't like to be pregnant, to be so week and tired.
She sighed. Perhaps she wasn't created for such things. But there was one big point about it. Now she felt less pain about death of her parents, sister and nieces. She still missed them, but love to her own family supplanted a big part of the old pain. Selene finally understood that she now had something that she missed during her old life as A Death Dealer. And she wanted to keep it. And patience to her pregnancy was the easiest thing from all problems.
For example like this one which they found tonight.
Selene, Michael, David and Eve watched TV-news in Sebastian's flat. The owner of the flat called them some hours ago and said something about problems. Since nobody else had TV, they came to Sebastian.
"As police said, they got video material about Academic Council. It was a big shock. All members of Academic Council are lycans and nobody know how long time they deceived everybody. Perhaps, scientists of destroyed corporation ANTIGEN were lycans too. Police said that all of them would be tasted. The person who sent them video materials is unknown," the reporter said.
Don't worry, I know. It was Michael, Eve and I. Selene thought with sarcasm.
"Police came to the hotel, where Academic Council stayed. As they arrived, members didn't consent to surrender. They attacked police; a lot of people are dead. Academic Council escaped," the reporter finished his reportage.
There was silence in the room. Selene, who was pressed to Michael's chest, felt, that he stopped to breath. She turned to see Eve. Her daughter looked like if she was going to cry.
"I don't want them to get me back!" there were tears in her eyes.
"They will not get you back, I swear," Selene hugged her. "Don't be scared."
"There are just some lycans. They don't have your blood, they are weaker than you," Michael hugged them both. Selene was grateful for it. Eve sobbed.
"We need to find them and fight," David said. Selene knew that he felt. And she also knew that Thomas was going to kill her for his son.
"Do you have any ideas about their location?" David asked, looking at Sebastian.
"No," Sebastian shook his head. "But I have a strange feel that they will find you their selves. And very soon."
Selene felt that Eve quivered.
Michael squeezed hand of Selene and their daughter.
Eve was sleeping on Sebastian's sofa. The others just watched TV, trying to get more information. Finally, David sighed.
"It's dawn soon. I need to go back to my coven. My father aren't happy about our meetings anyway."
Selene understood that Thomas felt. He was afraid of perspective to lose his son again. And she knew this feeling very well.
"We need to go too," Selene saw that Michael gently took Eve in his arms. The girl didn't wake up, but whispered something sluggishly.
And then somebody called in the door.
Sebastian opened the door to his room and hid immortals there. Then he came closer to the door.
"Who is there?"
Silence. He looked in peephole. There was nobody. Sebastian didn't like that.
"I know that you are there" Sebastian said.
Silence. Sebastian was going to open the door then strong hand touched his shoulder. The man jumped and turned around just to find Selene.
"There is nobody there," she said. "They are gone."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, but anyway, let me…" she pushed Sebastian aside and opened the door herself. As she said there was nobody. Except of a little envelope on the door mat.
Selene looked at it. She felt Michael near her as he slowly took it and opened. There was a transparent package full of strange grey powder. And there was a note.
"As we promised."
"What is this?" David looked at the package.
"Feels like I know," Selene sighed. "It's an ashes. An vampire ashes. As they promised, we have another corpse."
And then she saw him. He didn't go away, he stand near stairs and watched their reaction. But he forgot one thing. He forgot to hide better.
When he understood that she saw him, it was too late. She already was near him.
"Bastard" she hissed, kicking his stomach and when he bent – his chin. She pressed the lycan to the wall and tore his body from the floor. "Where are they?"
The lycan said nothing, just kicked Selene aside from hill with a power which was enough to hit Selene to the floor. But the lycan didn't run away. Michael and Eve were already near him.
The lycan wasn't very strong, but he was very agile and adroit. Eve couldn't fight well yet, so, the lycan just hit her to Michael. While Michael tried to help his daughter to hold on her feet, the lycan made his way to the stairs.
But still, he could go away as Selene's knife cut into his back. The lycan fell on the floor.
Selene slowly rose to her feet and came closer.
"We need to talk."
