Selene crossed her arms this was worth hearing with full focus
"Give you supplies?"
"Well the King of the Voradors is Odthran claimed he helped create me, said I had all the strength of the Voradors but I never understood what he meant"
"I know what he meant, and I know who he is" Selene crouched down to came face to face with her
"Did Marcus ever tell you anything that happened to me when I was pregnant with you?"
"No…" Roslyn's face filled with ideas and horrible possibilities
"…Dad's not my real dad! The Vorador is!"
"Settle down, Marcus is your real father and that's that. Odthran used to take host in Michael, when I was pregnant with you he managed to over power me to manipulate your genes. He didn't hurt me or you, only made your Vorador genes more stronger and dominant giving you your gold eyes"
"Bastard!"
"At that point all I knew was that they just wanted to survive… I saw into their history and I can see why"
"But they made me a freak!"
"You're not a freak, there is nothing wrong with you and even when I found out I wasn't concerned because I knew you where going to be stronger and then later on when I gave birth… well had a cesarean you had wings, you wouldn't have had them if the he hadn't adjusted your genes. I wasn't angry at all I was happy so was your father, that you had wings like me"
"Dad was happy after what he did?"
"Not till you where born… he tried to kill Michael and the Vorador along with him, but I wont go there that was one hell of a situation"
"So you're not shocked?"
"Only that you didn't tell me sooner. I'm not surprised he welcomed you here I should have expected it. I on the other hand will not be accepted the same… I did try to destroy them my mother's spirit ended up doing that. But is seems Odthran got away like he always did"
"Well maybe I exaggerated… I would have got them for a price"
"Price?" Selene narrowed her eyes
"Odthran wants to marry me to his son"
"Orlian! Impossible Viktor destroyed him twice, in body then in liquid form"
"No, Oscar"
Selene rolled her eyes
"Typical they think like old times, arranged marriages and rhyming names or starting with the same letter"
"Sophia and Saxon both start with S like Selene"
Selene lifted her brows
"That was you're fathers idea, he's old fashioned too"
"Roslyn isn't"
"Because that was my choice, stop changing the subject do you want to do this or not"
"Yes like we planned I'm just nervous… I mean what if we get caught? Odthran will hate me"
"Stay in your mist form the whole way and they will never know okay?"
"Okay"
"Good follow my lead and remember…"
"No sound or telepathy I know" Roslyn finished her sentence. In minutes both changed into their mist form and began hovering down though the trees silently completely invisible moving though the darkness. Past the security trigger wires, past the guards though the bars and over the large brick wall into the grounds below. Inside the main land of the fortress was well kept, some Voradors had built small cottage homes and gardens providing food living comfortable lives. Their human hosts had also adapted them to the sunlight now making them daylight creatures.
Selene could sense Roslyn behind her keeping close, she only had so much time to find the storehouse before sunrise. Reaching the foot of the fortress Selene and Roslyn moved along the ground searching each door using the Lycan part of them to sniff out food. She picked up a scent slowly hovering past two guards totally oblivious to their presence and under a large wooden door into the empty storeroom.
Selene immediately saw both the security cameras, this modern thing unfortunately they had picked up on. It was still easy to slide past find a handful off mud and cover both lenses.
"Stay in your mist" Selene whispered so very quiet changing into her physical form. Along one wall was sacks of grains, the other crates of vegetables at the end dried meats where hung and some food kept in a refrigerated area. Roslyn knew the idea was to take at least thirty horses so if they lost any or some where captured again they would still have a fair amount to take to the humans.
"Ten sacks of grain, twenty crates, ten what ever else in bags" Selene explained, the crates where small easily fitting either side of the top of the saddle. Roslyn picked up the first large sack of rice at least half her size easily making it hover in the air. Selene climbed up on top of the empty boxes moving a few to gain height up to a bordered window. Silently she pulled the plank of wood open and slowly opened the glass doors. The window was just big enough for a sack to fit though as long as they did it slowly it wouldn't rip and give them away. Once a great death dealer, now a petty thief Selene chuckled to herself in her mind. Below the window was four guards smoking pipes on the deck muttering to them selves telepathically. Selene could see there was a fair way to go, slowly they had to take each item out the window along the wall and past the mill to the stables, on top of the stable roof was some what flat giving them a place to put the items until they attached them to the horses. Selene signaled Roslyn to follow her then took back her mist form grabbing a sack herself. Out the window the food hovered right past the guards along the wall over the mill and onto the stable roof under the fortress ledge where a small area was dry. Again and again they took each item at a steady speed, only one at a time to avoid any accidents.
Roslyn put the last back down on the roof that was almost going to collapse from the weight
"Wait here I will saddle the horses" Selene misted down though a gap and into the stables where a large number of horses stood, most sleeping others with their heads in the buckets trying to lick up any remaining oats on the bottom. Selene checked the stables before taking her physical form, she had to otherwise she would scare the horses. Quick as she could go Selene picked the larger and fitter looking horses strapping the pack saddles on and attaching extra rope she found in the mill to hold the supplies on. Checking for the guards again Selene climbed back up onto the roof signaling to Roslyn for the first sack. It barely passed though the gap between the wall and the stable roof, Selene was getting worried about how wet the sacks where getting from the rain making the grains useless. Piling the sack onto the horses back she secured it firmly then placed a saddle blanket over top to try and keep the sack from getting any wetter. She took the first loaded horse into a stall out of sight then came out ready for another one
"Bit early for stable work isn't it" Selene froze she had her back to the Vorador in the process of latching up the stall gate. Closing her eyes she focused
"I spoke to you, turn around!" The guard snapped insulted by her rudeness not to reply. Selene turned around revealing yellow eyes
"Sorry half asleep" Selene spoke now in a cross of her human and Vorador form. The guard frowned at her then sighed walking off.
Selene realized the sun light was beginning to show brining in more light and waking Voradors.
"Shit" She jumped up popping her head above the roof for another sack when in a moment Roslyn's mist form gave what would be a kick right to Selene's face snapping her head back
"Oww" Selene grabbed her nose that dripped a bit of blood.
"Sorry!" Roslyn whispered
"I saw your yellow eyes and thought you where a Vorador"
"Did Erika teach you how to kick like that by any chance" Selene grumbled rubbing her face heading toward the sacks.
"Help me take all of it down as fast as possible we need to hurry, steady and secure isn't an option anymore we have to get as much as we can" Selene grabbed two sacks and a crate"
"How about I bring it down off the roof and you attach?"
"Good idea" Selene headed down.
Loading up the horses as fast as she could go Selene had most of it done.
"Just two more crates" Roslyn held them up
"What the hell?" The same guard had retuned moving around his patrolling area, all he saw was Selene standing next to a horse and two floating crates
"It's a ghost!" Selene yelped
"I'm not that stupid! Guards!" he called out. Grabbing his spear he lifted it running at Roslyn who dropped the crates ready for him, instantly the spear was lifted into the air and the guard followed becoming surrounded in the mist Selene snatched the spear free flipped it around and drove it though the Voradors chest. Roslyn dropped the guard when three more came running in Selene held onto the spear running at two of them impaling them both all on the one spear
"Mum look out" Roslyn called watching the fight, Selene turned to see a Vorador drive a blade right through her upper arm. She yelped for a second then turned grabbing the guard by the throat crushing his air pipes.
"Mum!" Roslyn screeched worried.
Selene threw the Vorador down
"I'm fine! Get on a horse take the rest and go don't worry about the last two crates!" Doing as her mother asked Roslyn climbed up onto the horse that was supposed to have the last two crates, already saddled and ready then grabbed the rope joining the rest of the horses. The horse she was on became spooked of an invisible rider making it panic and gallop out making the others follow at a better speed then planned.
"Mum the gates!"
"I'm on it" Selene jumped up onto the roof now dodging flying arrows whooshing past her face, she jumped across the road onto the tower wall, climbed round the side then flung herself onto the wall.
"Kill her!" The soldiers from the ground ordered
"And stop those run away horses!" He yelled. A number of soldiers climbed onto their own horses and took after the stampede heading toward the gate. Selene on top of the wall ran along side at immortal speed over taking the horses to reach the gate first, she was too fast for the Voradors to aim and hit her. She flipped though the window smashing the glass rolling onto her feet in the gate tower, she stood up strait facing a guard quickly moving to his right lifting her arm bringing it round with her snapping his neck. She pulled the leaver on the wall out and turned the large wooden cog handle opening the right gate, the left had to be open from the other side. Looking up she saw the other side along with an arrow that the guard in the other tower had fired smashing though the glass and driving right into her shoulder.
"Asshole" Selene growled ignoring the arrow in one shoulder and a broken blade in the other, she smashed out the window with her fist and jumped across to the other tower landing right though the broken glass and on top of the guard. He lifted the crossbow but it was too late Selene had a chunk of glass she dove right into his throat. Dropping the glass she swung around pulled the leaver then turned the wooden cog like before opening the gates fully just as the horses began to pour through.
"Yes!" Roslyn felt on top of the world riding out the gate making it out of the fortress. She looked back to see at least five Voradors on horses galloping up behind.
"Keep going I'll meet you in our arranged place" Selene called to her telepathically
"But there is some following me!"
"I'll take care of them just keep riding!"
Roslyn looked ahead and focused on the road ahead keeping her speed eventually the horses became tiered slowing to a canter then to a trot and finally a walk. Looking behind Roslyn was surprised to see the five riders gone and most the horses still linked up except for maybe three off the back.
She had succeeded they had a majority of the supplies they intended to get.
"Bitch!" the Vorador captain yelled climbing off his horse. The captain and a number of guards had followed Selene and the horses down the road only to find the five riders hung by ropes across the road on a branch. Two off them still giggled about one was nerves the other hadn't quite died.
"Cut him down and trans-body the others the others" He ordered walking along the dirt road.
Four of the captain's guards stood under the four dead soldiers letting the Vorador ooze out of the body drip down onto the guards entering the body though the ears eyes nose and mouth sharing the host until they got a new one.
The rain had stopped and the ground had absorbed the much needed rain that they rarely got showing up drips of Selene's blood. The captain crouched looking at the blood puddle
"This is odd"
"Sir?"
"She had to be immortal to have been able to jump, climb and run like she did not to mention if she was human she would have gone down the first time she was shot by the arrows"
"Then we should tell the King the hybrids did it?"
"No, you see she's not a hybrid, look at the colour of the blood, it shouldn't be dark red almost black like this. This woman… creature is clearly both hybrid and Vorador"
"There is only few like that sir and they are inside the keep"
"No, this is all bloodlines… there is only two beings who have blood like this"
Roslyn stopped all the horses at the meeting point near the creek with a tiny bit of water from the rain. Now in her physical form she led them all to have a drink counting them all.
"Five… ten… fifteen… twenty six all together" She said pulling her coat around her closer keeping warm.
"Make that twenty nine, plus five extra horses" Selene gave Roslyn a fright riding down the bank into the small meadow area with the three horses who came lose from the bunch and the guards horses.
"Mum… you're hurt!"
"I'm fine I just need to pull them out and I'm fine" Selene climbed down, she had pieces of glass in her face, arms, hands and chest an arrow in her left shoulder, a broken blade in her left and a gash on he leg that had already healed itself leaving a pink mark.
"Are you sure?" Roslyn helped her sit down.
"Yes, I'm just a bit on the rusty side since being in sleep" Selene began pulling the glass out, the wounds closed up as soon as the glass was out leaving little pink spots.
"Give theses horses a drink" Selene gestured to the horses she just brought in. Roslyn took them over to the creek while Selene pulled countless sharp objects out of her skin. Roslyn had to help her with the arrow in her shoulder but it was not long before all the wounds where healed, after eating a small well disserved snack even the pink marks where gone.
"Alright lets get them all linked up" Selene rejoined all the horses dividing them into two groups for each rider.
"That was amazing and sort of fun, I mean I was terrified ad some points but it was so exhilarating!"
"That's the thrill of the hunt" They chatted walking the horses down the road not wanting to push them to hard.
"Do you always find it this fun?"
"Most of it, not the part where you are having a good hundred arrows shot at you or pulling them out later on, but the rest is fun"
"Even killing?"
Selene went quiet for a minute before answering
"You do what you have to do"
Roslyn accepted the answer but couldn't help but say something
"You do know you only kill the host"
"I know, but I had a talk to Julian the before you got up this morning, and she said yes they are hosts and they are innocent people but it was proven the Vorador existing in the human makes them brain dead after living in the body after a few years unless the Vorador decides to keep the human spirit or soul what ever you want to call it alive, other wise it dies or leaves then the Vorador owns the body. Like a car really, smash it crash it get out and get a new one, even if it is someone else's and they are already in it"
"I don't know if that is true… I find it hard to believe. And you still killed them even as much as you care for the humans in a way you are killing humans" Roslyn put up her thoughts.
"Well look at it this way would you want to be a vegetable for an eternity? Let a creature keep your body keeping you in some sort of purgatory? Or would you rather die and be free?"
Roslyn looked away thinking on it
"I suppose I can't say unless I was in that situation"
"We should just help those not infected at the moment they are the ones who need us right now there isn't much hope for those captured by Voradors"
It wasn't really an argument and was friendly just a complicated conversation. Nothing much else was said until they reached the city and yet Roslyn seemed more scared of the humans and their city then she was of the Voradors
"According to you they are weak and worthless, yet you fear them more than powerful Voradors. Is this because you don't want to face what they suffer and feel the guilt or is it because the Voradors took less of an aggressive attitude with you?"
Roslyn glared at Selene
"Don't give me that look, it was an honest question. Anyway now is the time to see how the humans really are, when they are not shooting at you"
Roslyn didn't say anything just remained quiet as they approached the gate Dorian and Selene had left to go to the post.
"Remember you are my sister" Selene smiled but didn't get one in return from Roslyn who silently took out her sunglasses and put them on her face, both of them had changed into their human form. Selene recognized the one arm pyro woman at the gate that verbally abused her last time. Selene made sure she was in front approaching the gate so they could clearly see and recognize her.
"I don't believe my bloody eyes" The woman headed toward Selene along with a number of guards.
"I said I would help and I did" Selene got down off the horse
"Where did you get all this?"
"It doesn't matter, the people need it"
"You right. All of this is for the people?"
"Yes every single thing right down to the last horse"
The woman and guards stood still in awe of such a generous gift.
"We'll I underestimated you, I hold you in much higher regard now Selene. I am Jean" She put her flame thrower down to shake Selene's hand.
"We still have to scan you to check for any hitchhikers, presuming this was where you got all this from?" The large guard that was stationed at the other gate last time approached her
"Sure" He held up the scanner and waved it over her clearing her.
"And what about her who is she?"
"My sister… Rose" Selene looked back at Roslyn who had her head down and her hood over her head nervous
"Alright rose you're most welcome just please hop down and stand still" The large male reached up to help her down, she hesitated at first and took his hand climbing down.
"Thank you" He said holding up the scanner. Selene and Roslyn swallowed hard as the scanner seemed to take longer processing only to beep up clear.
"Alright bring it all on in" The guard from the tower yelled opening both the large gate doors. Selene smiled looking to Roslyn who still had a stern face silent she only took the rope and reins of her horses following Selene in with hers.
A round of applause roared as Selene walked in with the horses and food the same again when Roslyn came though the gate
"Everyone gets to eat a proper meal tonight" A guard announced to the people. Selene was surprised people didn't stampede for the crates, they knew they would all get distributed a fair share. Taking the horses into an open courtyard workers immediately attended the horses giving them clean water and unpacked the heavy load off their backs taking it into the storehouse.
"Thank you" A random woman hugged Roslyn taking her by surprise
"Yes the city owes both of you for such a generous gift, anything you need we will offer it freely. You have given more than you can imagine, since we can grow fruit trees from the seeds its not just a crate of fruit and vegetables its hope for the new generation, we can afford to expand the city now" A tall man in armour and decorated cloak announced from the steps. Roslyn saw the smaller children look though the wooden planks off the fence, they where skinny and some scared
"Look more horseis" The same scared girl Selene saw called to her friends pointing to the horses.
Something inside Roslyn tweaked, it was horrible it made her feel sick to her stomach. Guilt. She remained silent watching all the faces in the gathering crowd smile, along with her mother who took a couple of oranges over to the children. Selene took only two so the captain didn't complain about her distributing the food recklessly and the adults didn't mind her giving the children much needed nutrients. She peeled the oranges then split it into equal segments for the children
"What is it?" the young girl asked gratefully taking the piece of orange
"It's a fruit called orange, you'll like it it's sweet" Selene smiled crouching down to their level. Each of them giggled biting into the oranges with big smiles, before they knew it the orange was gone and they were licking their fingers
"Yummy"
"What do you say children?" her father asked.
"Thank you" they said in sink all happy on having such a rare treat.
"You're welcome. Now who wants to pat the horse?" Selene led them over to the large passive Clydesdale and showed them how to pat him nicely. Roslyn only looked on realizing what her mother had meant about the humans. They had done so much to her and would probably harm her if they really knew what she was, yet she put that aside and still held compassion for them.
"Well, well she returns again in all her beautiful glory baring generous gifts" Dorian's voice jokingly called though the crowed. Selene turned around to see him leaping over the fence like a frog.
"And you kept your word coming back and so soon" Dorian smiled heading over to her.
"And I knew you'd show up so soon" Selene smirked back taking the children back to their parents.
"Huh. How is your daughter?"
"She's great I was most happy to see her again, I'm very proud of her" Selene made sure Roslyn herd her glancing over to her trying to lighten her mood but it seemed pointless. Dorian had caught the quick glance turning to look at Roslyn
"…who is this" Dorian asked with a huge smile in delight
"… My sister" Selene didn't like the way he was looking at her youngest daughter. Roslyn blushed slightly at Dorian's smile
"I didn't know you had a sister, I can see beauty runs in the family" Dorian immediately strutted over and politely held out his hand. She took it lightly
"It's a pleasure to meet you Rose" He shook her hand gently then attempted to bend down and lightly kiss her hand when he received a firm foot into his rear-end almost sending him into the dirt. Roslyn still blushing covered her mouth trying not to giggle, Dorian thought it was jealously from Selene.
"Let's get going" Selene prompted
"Hey leaving so soon" Dorian rubbed his backside delighted at the attention form both of them
"I'll be back later on you have my word as usual" Selene didn't turn back.
"Bye Dorian" Roslyn sheepishly smiled giving a small wave following her mother.
"Bye" Dorian waved still trying to put his spine back in place.
"Love hurts" he groaned standing up strait.
"Leaving so soon?" The guards asked opening the door to Selene.
"We have to be somewhere we're in a hurry if you don't mind"
Selene and Roslyn marched past
"Thank you very much please come again" A guard yelled down as a joke. Selene gave a wave before disappearing down around the bend marching behind the building.
"You didn't tell me you have human friends, Dorian is cute" Roslyn thought Selene was shitty at her for being in a foul mood at Selene for so long. Selene huffed not looking at her just kept marching with Roslyn now going back into a foul mood grumbling behind her.
"What did I do?" Roslyn finally snapped
"Nothing, can't you sense that!"
Roslyn stopped rolling her eyes
"Sense what?"
Selene turned around her face full of hurt
"I'm too late…"
"What?" Roslyn's face changed her mothers concern concerned her since it seemed serious, more then ever.
Selene flopped down sitting on an old overturned barrel
"They have taken them" Selene muttered dropping her head into her hands. Roslyn frowned standing still utterly confused for a moment then it hit her like a brick wall
"Lilly and Quin are gone… I don't know how I know"
"You just feel it, I know where and it's all my fault" Selene lifted her head her eyes narrowed in anger at being fooled
"Michael" She snarled quietly in anger clenching her fists, if there was any way to insult Selene or make her even angrier and that was to make a fool of her.
"I can't believe I fell for Michael's lies" Selene growled kicking the barrel down the street.
"Then what are we waiting for! Let's get that bastard" Roslyn waved her arms around angrily.
"There is no point in charging up there, Kain will know we are coming. Better make him wait and think he has gotten away with it then get to him when he least expects it. I know he won't hurt Lilly or Quin somewhere inside he still loves her I saw it in his face so they are safe"
"So what do we do now?"
"Well the humans are good for supplies for the moment and the Voradors will be upping their security weary now that they know we are lingering around, they know we can get in and out and easily defeat them"
"They know it was us"
"They know it was me, they won't blame the humans, I don't think they are like that. Well at least I like to think so"
"So we wait"
"No we will go into Kain's keep with reinforcements"
"From who...? Wait… you mean Saxon?"
"With the three of us we stand a chance hopefully I can talk Sophia around, that's if Kain decides to try and disembowel us"
"Sound's like a plan"
"I will need to train you more, this time in combat and weaponry" Selene straitened her coat.
"I did alright at the powers didn't I?"
"I know" Selene grinned. Roslyn lowered her head almost in disgrace
"What's wrong?" Selene wondered if there was another confession coming out
"I'm sorry"
"For what?" Selene was puzzled
"You where right… about the humans they are not useless. Those children, they were scared… I had no idea they still lived on in such hope still after all these years"
"There is nothing to be sorry about, it is easy to feel more superior having powers. But the fact that you saw it and now understand and respect them makes you a better immortal. In a way we all need each other to make a balance those children have just as much courage and strength as us to keep living…" Selene stopped both Roslyn and Selene's eyes snapped toward some old crates as they toppled over.
"Someone has followed us" Roslyn whispered
"Keep in your human form" Selene whispered back heading over to the crates, her hand slid up under her coat her hand resting on the handle of her Beretta. Moving into shadow Selene snuck around behind an old dumpster out of sight to the back of the crates while Roslyn remained in full view standing still looking at her fingernails.
Selene slid around out of shadow to below the crates where she saw a hooded figure in a black leather coat watching Roslyn pulling her gun out she aimed it right at the head
"Turn around slowly any other movements and I will blow your head off" Selene frowned looking at the coat as the woman turned around, the coat was like the ones she used to wear with the Celtic patterns embossed on the back. The woman was old in her fifties at least immediately she held her hands up getting down on her knees
"Don't shoot please I'm unarmed" She was strong in her voice she still had good presence for her age.
"What is someone in an age like you doing out here you could be killed"
The woman looked dazed as if she had lost all her marbles looking up at Selene as if she was an angel
"You look just like I remember you"
"Remember me… where did you get that coat?"
"Don't you remember? You gave it to me when I was ten… you saved my life"
Selene could remember only saving one young girl and giving her, her coat
"I remember you… that seemed like only yesterday" Selene said, in a way it was only the other day since being in sleep shortened time to her. Selene put her gun away the woman was clearly no threat
"I have been waiting for the day you returned it seems like eternity had passed. Every news paper article every photo or clip of information about you I kept, even these I found one in your another on the roof, then I found a dark brown one I thought it was a shade or summer coat but now that I see it belongs to your daughter" The woman smiled holding the feathers so carefully not to damage them, then looked to see Selene's wings
"Wonderful you can change form I knew you had such ability no wonder you are able to hide"
"Look if you want another feather for your collection I have tones of them under my bed, but if you don't mind we have to go" Roslyn said politely but wanted her to hurry along.
"Be patient this woman just may be able to fill me in on things I wanted to know"
"Yes everything I collected everything, they called that other one the savior and you the demon but not me I didn't believe a word of it I knew the truth all along and some people believed me… when they said your name Selene and what you had done I knew it was you, I had to make sure since I am one of the only ones old enough to know what you look like, I saw you before you left and… it was you"
"You… you're that old woman they spoke of, the one of the following" Roslyn looked to Selene with a smile
"Her and her people worship us"
Selene didn't see a humorous side to it at all
"Don't worship us, we are not Gods or angels far from it but I do intend to try and put an end to suffering or at least bring balance to the races. You are equal" Selene helped the woman up off her knees
"Come, come with me they are keen to meet you"
"Not now, Roslyn is right we have a situation to attend to"
The woman's face fell
"I will come back but it is important you must not tell anyone I am back or I will fail, the humans mustn't know who I am yet or I cannot help them"
"You have my word I will tell no one!" the woman made a gesture of zipping her lips shut
"Good… how will I contact you?"
"Just stay in the city I will waiting for you"
Selene gave her a nod turning to leave
"Wait!…" the woman called, Selene and Roslyn looked back
"There are humans who are hell bent on killing you, some of them know what you look like and I heard rumor from one of our spies that they are going to investigate who you are next time you return. You can tell who they are since they all have a tattoo on the side of their neck of a burning angel and a dark blue band around there arm with a red symbol"
"Thank you" Selene and Roslyn headed off, the woman watched them briskly walk down the street, she smiled when they reached the end letting their wings open up ready to fly.
"Come back soon our Queen… and save us" She whispered, her eyes watering with happiness watching them.
"Not for you she won't" She quickly turned around to see a hand reach out of the shadow and grab her throat.
Kain knew of Michael arrival and his heart palpitated in nervousness of the outcome of Michael's findings. He stood pacing back and forth in the hall tapping his feet and grinding his teeth. All that played back and forth in his mind was what if he was a father, what if he wasn't. If he was then Selene didn't lie, if he wasn't she did proving him wrong about her, yet still part of him really wanted it to be true since he had wanted to be a father for quite some time, if it wasn't true and Selene lied it would cut him deep betraying anything left of his trust. Michael walked up the hall bare handed still rubbing his side from Lilly's bite, Kain's heart almost sank thinking his mother lied
"Lilly, bit me and hell she bites hard" Michael lifted his top to show the mark was still there. Kain didn't care
"What about Lilly… was it true?"
"Go see for your self" Michael pointed to the double doors down the hall. Kain wasted no time to see Lilly he knew she was back since he had later ordered Michael to bring her back child or not.
Opening the door Kain's heart went into palpitations, his stomach filled with butterflies, he had this feeling every time his eyes fell upon Lilly even though he could never confess it though his own arrogance.
Silently he closed the door behind him watching her sleep she lay in the middle of a luxurious large bed wrapped in the blanket from the base. He sat down next to her on the bed she looked as beautiful as she always had done, even with her hair out of place. Gently he lightly brushed the few blond locks away from her face, his finger then ran lightly over her cheek and jaw to her lips that he so craved to kill
"I've missed you" He whispered watching her breathe lightly. So he thought Selene lied to him, he knew it but he was happy Lilly was back where she belonged with him.
Until he heard a small groan that of a waking infant. His eyes widened his chest tightened and his body froze listening. There again a small groan and movement came from the other side of the bed, he had been so caught up in seeing Lilly again he hadn't looked elsewhere around the room presuming Michael would have put the baby with Lilly, instead not wanting to wake either he had left Quin in the carrier on the chair next to the bed. Looking up Kain took a sharp sudden breath seeing the small movement under the pattern baby blanket. Standing up suddenly he swallowed stumbling back a step seeing a small infants hand reach up followed by a small cry. Breathing erratically Kain stumbled around the bed quickly
"It was true…" Guilt for not being there, hate for his mother's righteousness and feeling of disappointment at himself for arrogance all hit him at once but most of all the joy of finally being a father. He smiled so hard it hurt his face he fell to his knees in front of the chair low enough to see his tiny sons face. Love and affection along with the instinct to protect, all the fatherly laws hit him suddenly all at once.
"I have a son…" He finally stood up to pull the blanket off Quin to pick him up and hold him for the first time
"No! I have a son!" Lilly gave off a snarl like hiss, he swung around to face her it was too late she kicked him right in the middle of the face breaking his noseand throwing his head back, flinging a small spray of his blood though the air sending him to the ground landing flat on his back.
Sorry everyone this chapter was suposed to have been up over ten hours ago but bloody fanfiction wouldnt let me in AGAIN.
dArK-dAeMoIs-DeA: Um well Michael didn't get his but kicked much, got a good bite taken out of him, but Kain got his but kicked... well face kicked really, lol Lilly has the same powerful kick Erika had.
Synch14: Damn shoulda left Lilly there whatever... what did that mean? Yeah it would be cool if Viktor became hybrid in the film, the unstopible evil. He looks good with long hair in underworld 2, I'm amazed Bill Nigh at his age filmed some of it on horseback himself (or so they say)
Vampirelycaneve: Thankyou. lol want it to end so soon?. Vampire-lycan-eve... your name Eve? oryou like the name? just curious I havehardly ever met another Evelyn or Eve before.
Christian Jonsson: Comprimise I mixed violence and the not so violent versions together so you got semi violence. The reason I cut it back it would have dragged, she was going to kill more voradors and actully show/tell her hanging the soldiers outside the gate as they woke up but I thought the chase scene was a better idea and then finding the guards in a tree, it probably drags on anyway.
Glil: I hate it when that happens half of this chapter was supposed to have been posted yesterday but my net was playing up so sincebeing on the other side of the world and you guys wern't up till later on anyway I dicided just tokeep writing making hte chapter bigger. So should always be there when you wake up.
