Erika sat in the hall outside the large theatre waiting for news on Selene, Shadow sat next to her silently waiting for Marcus.
Erika was almost in tears
"Poor Selene, she's been though the worse most difficult pregnancy in history"
"There is still hope"
"I know, she doesn't deserve this shit or need it now"
Both of then jumped when the door flung open and Marcus stormed out
"How's Selene? Will she be okay?" Erika asked desperately, Marcus ignored her and marched right past his back was stiff and his fists clenched he was heading in one direction. They watched him smash right though the door at the end of the hall not even bothering to open it then disappeared down a stairs.
"Where's he going?" She wondered
"Let's just say, I wouldn't want to be Amos right now"
Erika's face dropped and went even whiter than usual
"He's not angry case Selene has d..." she couldn't say it she put her hand over her mouth eyes watering. Kraven's heart pounded hard, he hoped to god she hadn't. He got to his feet and barged into the room Marcus came from, the nurse was still in there picking up all the debris of Marcus's rage.
"Did she die?"
"No, they are both stable, but their is a risk"
"Risk?" Erika asked stepping in behind him.
"If she goes into labour in the next twenty four hours there's a good chance we will lose them both"
Kraven barged out the room and headed in the same direction leaving Erika in tears.
"Do they think she will?"
"To be honest I wouldn't know, the baby's head is engaged, she could have him at any time. But there is also the chance she wont since she's not due for another week, its all I can tell you I'm sorry" the nurse handed her a tissue.
"Thank you" Erika took it gratefully.
A doctor wandered out and whispered to nurse, then left. Erika was to gluggy to hear what he said, she was about to leave when the nurse stopped her
"The doctor just told me you can see her"
Erika smiled following the nurse into the small ward like room, Selene lay on one side a light strap over her upper body to stop her from moving.
Erika sat by the bed next to Selene's face, Selene's eyes where closed
"She's awake but very drowsy, talk to her she can hear you" the nurse whispered to her. Erika rubbed the top of Selene's hand
"Hey it's just me"
Selene's eyes fluttered a little and opened partly.
"It's alright you don't have to open you eyes, I'll keep you company"
Selene gave a light moan in response, her eyes watering causing a small tear to roll over her nose and drip onto the pillow.
"Hey you both will be okay I wont leave your side, us woman have to stick together huh"
Selene squeezed Erika's hand lightly.
"Well I gave Amos a good kick to the face, I finished her off knocking her out that was of course after dented her face with the door I learnt that one off you"
Selene's mouth curled up a little.
Marcus arrived in the cells to find Amos chained to the floor stripped of all her weapons, only just waking. Kraven arrived soon after.
Duncan and Kahn stood over her, just waiting itching even to lay a punch or kick into her.
Amos opened her eyes to see Duncan leaning over her
"You!" she snapped at him sourly
"Yup, I have a score to settle with ya" he shoved his nail into her cheek she tried to lunge at him, but was quickly restricted by the chains that yanked around her wrists and neck.
She hissed at him wildly only to quickly stop when she picked up the Vamcan scent. She turned and looked up to see both Marcus and Kraven staring down at her, an unspeakable hate rose in their eyes along with the black clouding as they changed form.
Amos was about to receive the hiding of her life, Marcus slashed her skin then had it bound it up tightly after each time so she wouldn't die.
"Why does Cyrus want the child?" he yelled at her again and again, but she never answered any of his questions. After three hours, Kraven stepped forward
"Why don't you check on Selene we can finish up here"
"Don't end her life, Selene can do that in time, just get anything out of her" Marcus snared, then marched back out the cells leaving Kahn Duncan and Kraven to beat and answer out of her.
Marcus entered the small room silently, seeing that Erika had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed, as had Selene.
Sitting at the edge of the bed he watched over them for hours, he sat arms crossed as still as a statue.
Slowly over time he began to fall asleep drifting off then waking again.
The nurse walked in and out continuously checking Selene. By the time Marcus woke later when the nurse accidentally bumped his chair, the nurse had begun cleaning the skin removing the sticky cover that now only covered a red line. The nurse nodded to him then whispered
"This is good, it has healed shut fully we are out of the immediate danger zone"
Marcus smiled and nodded thank you.
"You should get some sleep sir, this room is surrounded in guards as you asked, you wont be any good to her half asleep when she wakes, and she might want some alone time"
Marcus looked at Erika who was still sleeping
"I will send her away too when she wakes"
He moaned a little then wandered out the door to his room, he would have to wait till tomorrow to find out if they will make it.
