When Selene returned to her room she found a guard standing outside with Cass on a leash, she was finally being returned after being trained for the last few weeks. Cass had, some what of a problem of chewing everything she set her eyes on, Selene found it funny until Cass chewed up one of her boots, then she was sent off for training.

"Here you go her corse is all over, one hundred percent obedient" Selene looked down at Cass who was almost fully grown. Cass wagged her tail exited to see her.

"Thankyou" Selene took the leash

"Sit" Cass sat immediately.

"Lay down" Cass lowered her upper body down on command. Selene tried to smile to lighten her mood.

"Play dead?" she wondered, and Cass flopped onto her side and became limp.

"Up" Cass jumped back to her feet.

"Good girl" Selene phrased her giving her a pat. She was about to open the door to her room when once against he heard Kahn's voice on the other side this time arguing with Kraven

"You have quite a nerve coming in here" Kraven growled at Kahn lightly, he still had Kain in his arms.

"Just watch your step, and leave Selene alone, I don't know how she could ever trust you with Kain either"

"I proved myself saving his life when he was born, and if she wanted me to leave her alone, she would have said so herself"

"She always did"

"Back at the mansion, that was then, things are different now"

"Well you are scum and you always will be, so watch your back, or I will add a few more scars to your collection on your bald head" Kahn snapped heading for the door, Kraven said no more just looked down at Kain who was oblivious to everything else, he was more amused with trying to pull one of the buttons off Kraven's top. Kahn opened the door to deja-vu walking into Selene again

"Selene..."

"Just back off, Kahn" she snapped at him pushing past then shutting the door herself.

"Sorry" Kraven said handing Kain over to Selene

"What for, he was the one who came here" Selene cuddled Kain, she seemed vacant and quiet.

"Are you alright, did Marcus say something?"

"Yes, as always" She sighed

"If its not one thing it's another, he told me about the formula for the Vampyre's evolution and the fact they needed this ones blood" she continued walking in circles. Kraven frowned

"It was Kain's blood?" he asked, Marcus was right he did know of the formula but not what was needed for it.

"Yes, and that bitch stole it" Kain began to moan, it was time for his nap. She slowly walked out leaving Kraven to ponder of the news while Cass sat in his chair staring at him.

"come back fully trained then" he spoke to her, her ears pricked up paying attention, she then stopped and began to scratch

"And with fleas" he looked under her collar and though her fur she was clean.

Kraven waited for Selene to return he knew she was upset about Amos taking the blood but he never even thought of the possibilities that Cyrus had upon him.

An idea popped into his head, he clicked the leash back onto Cass, then stood outside the nursery waiting for her, with her coat.

She finally stepped out leaving Kain with Elaine

"How about a walk?"

Selene stopped

"I don't want to stray to far from Kain"

"Though the halls then?"

"No, thankyou" she walked past him without even giving him eye contact, and back into her room.

"Alright" he took a disappointed Cass back off her leash and followed Selene into her room.

"Selene you want to talk?"

"Cyrus is building an army of unstoppable death dealers, and my son is in danger no amount of talking will change that" She took two empty bags out of the wardrobe and thew it onto the bed, then began grabbing some of her and Kain's cloths stuffing them into the bags.

"Your leaving?"

"I have a better chance to protect him by running then staying here waiting for him to be killed"

"You can leave, if Cyrus doesn't go looking for you Jarad will, you cant raise Kain while running everywhere, he cant live running and sleeping in an abandoned warehouse one day and a empty apartment the next" She stopped staring at the ground mentally seeing an image of it in her mind.

"And what if you are running and they fire at you, you can take a bullet but Kain can't he's to little, I know its a horrible thought but it could happen"

"I have no other choice"

"Yes you do, stay here" He moved in closer to her taking the coat out of her hand, then replaced it with his own hand. She tried to stop it but her eyes began to water, she kept her head low hiding it.

"It's not safe here" she barely whispered.

"It's safer here then it is out there, I know Marcus when it comes to battle he's very smart, he will have more than a few tricks up his sleeve, he wasn't Viktor's champion war lord for nothing"

She kept her head low letting her hair fall forward, covering a tear that streamed down her pale cheek. She felt so different, becoming a mother she felt a whole knew fear, a driving instinct to do nothing but protect Kain. He pulled her in and wrapped his arms around her, he felt guilty to fight her motherly instincts, for a selfish want of keeping her near him, she was finally in his arms he would do anything to keep her there.

"I will die before I let anything happen to either of you"

Her heart almost stopped her eyes blank and wide he could fell her tense up. Those where the exact words Michael used

"I promise" he said trying to comfort her but she pulled away out of his arms, her face was empty she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"I mean it, what's wrong?"

She didn't look at him, just picked up her coat again and stuffed it into her bag

"Selene?, did I say something to offend you?"

She ignored him, she didn't want to admit to herself that she didn't want him to end up like Michael, or the fact that something inside felt for him, even as she looked at him she couldn't believe such a feeling rose for Kraven of all people, yet when she looked in his eyes he was a different person, one she could love. He stood there absolutely puzzled at how he may have offended her, then the thought crossed his mind

"I'm not trying to replace Michael, and I'm not who I used to be he's gone, is that what you are thinking?"

"No, its not that"

"Then what is it?" his words where soft and upset he was at a loss. She sighed checking her guns she kept hidden under the bed and threw them into the bags, she finally gave him eye contact as he stood dumbfounded, she knew she shouldn't have looked at him, now her eyes where locked on his.

"What did I say?"

"The same thing Michael did, you'd die before you'd let anyone harm us, and he did" She flopped sitting onto the bed, he was at her side in an instant

"I'm sorry I didn't mean for you to remember such a painful memory"

"You weren't to know, for the first time ever I just don't know what to do, cause there is nothing I can do"

"And I'm being selfish by asking you to stay"

"No" she leaned her head against his shoulder looking up at him

"Then stay, we can think of something" She knew he had a point. She let him lean in and kiss her, he wove his arm around her waist, holding her feeling her relax back letting him hold her in a way pulling him back down onto the bed. She was becoming lost in desire, in both her body and heart, there was no doubt she wanted this as much as he did. Trailing kissed down her jaw to her neck he rolled over till he was half on top of her, not being to pushy, giving enough space if she wanted to move away. He almost shock in ecstasy he had wanted this for so long, his hearts desire was finally being fulfilled, he knew if he continued he would not be able to stop. After caressing the soft of her neck for a moment, he pulled back

"I can't take advantage of you, your upset" he had used every piece of will power to pull away and speak.

"Your not" he could see a lust in her eyes, which was confirmed when she slid her hand up his top running it over his toned body, she could feel the smooth lines of his scars running her fingers across them, causing him to gasp in pleasure. He returned to Selene's neck, he had to resist the urge to bite her, as tempting as it was, he resisted by returning to her lips, this time kissing more intensely, his hands like hers unbuttoned and quickly disposed of each others tops, he trailed back down her neck light kisses caressing her skin down the middle of her chest and down her abdomen. She gasped and moan ever so lightly, letting him remove the rest of her cloths, caressing all the way down her thy to her knee. She now lay bare and vulnerable, not that she cared, she reached for the buckle on his pants pulling it free, he was soon to join her clothing her with his own body positioning himself on top of her. As she groaned, she ran her nails across his shoulder blades creating series of red lines as he caressed her breasts with his lips moaning in response to hearing her pleasure as well as his own. It seemed a dream to him, something he had wanted so badly for years, now it was happening for real, no mater how much he kissed and tasted her, running his hands over her soft skin, she filled all his senses, but he just couldn't get enough of her. He ran his hands to her hips moving her, positioning himself between her legs, she could feel him grow hard against her. She arched her head and body back as he nuzzled her skin, she let out another groan as she felt him push himself inside then waited for a moment while she adjusted herself, he then began to pick up a rhythm groaning her name. She was pleasantly surprised with him, he was allot more respectful and gentle in a caring manor than she had expected, she could almost feel the love and passion for her with every thrust he gave. They tried to remain as quiet as they could since everyone was up and about around the halls, they both bit their lips as they climaxed, she could feel the warmth of him spilling into her, they breathed heavily crumpling in each others arms.

They dosed off for a while passively sleeping contently. When he woke he expected her to be in his arms still, but the space in the bed next to him was empty. He sat up quickly

"Selene?!" His eyes feel upon her sitting in the chair, deep thought shrouded her face, at her feet was the fully packed bags. She didn't look at him as he called her name, she just sat vacant, her mind dwelled on running, and the one other thought of whether he would change after having her. He leapt out the bed quickly, shoved on his pants, and ran to her side

"I thought you where going to stay?"

"I don't know" it was really beginning to eat at her. He shuffled into the chair next to her pulling her into her arms,

"If you run, I will run with you"

"I cant run, I'm a warrior... I should know what to do"

"Your also a mother, that makes things very different, your responsible for his life also, and that is not easy task in this kind of life"

"I could make a stand, get my chance to take my own back on Jarad, Amos and Cyrus. But if I do that, then there would be someone else who will hunt us, its never ending"

"I wont know what it is like to be in your shoes, but I can stand beside you, no matter what your choice"

He waited for her to think it over, she knew would make a stand, it was who she was at least try and give Kain a chance at a normal life she never had

"What's the use of two strong legs, if I only run away..."she felt something inside turn, a force and courage she always had, she just had to remind herself, she felt as if in that very moment she could rip apart the entire army, she would take her revenge on them, she got to her feet, she had an idea, all she had to do was put it past Marcus

"I take it you'll stay and fight"

She gave him the look she used to ware most her life, the warriors mask

"Let them come to their death" she said with such force, it made him wonder what he had awoken inside her once again, that warrior that had been laying dormant since she became a mother.
