Timeline: The story takes place a few years after the world created by Dlohov14 as described in Recordatus Caritate. I am in love with that world and most of my stories will be based on it. Short recap: Michael is alive, Varga has been pardoned and is now Selene's right hand. They all live in the mansion/coven and Selene, David and Lena are elders. I would highly recommend to read Recordatus Caritate!
Disclaimer: (Unfortunately) I do not own Underworld or any of the characters. New characters and the story idea are mine :)
Before the door slammed shut behind him, he saw his daughter pacing around the car. She immediately looked straight at him. Or actually, toward the women he was carrying. A second went by and Eve's face lid up. She probably was listening to her mothers' heartbeat and Michael started focusing on it as well. It was weak, but there.
Eves' face dropped when she looked him in the eye. Suddenly conscience of his appearance, he tried to keep his face neutral as he spoke.
'Can you stay with your mother in the backseat?' He asked as neutral and friendly as possible. It took him a lot of effort to shield his emotions away at this point. Just keep it together until we are back in the coven and Selene is safe.
Eve nodded and went to sit in the car. Michael walked after her and placed Selene on her side, with her head on their daughters' lap. He closed the door and got in as well. He took one last look at the backseat and saw Eve stroke Selene's hair while looking out of the window.
For the life of him he couldn't remember the trip back to the coven. The roads went by in a blur. Half of him focused on the road, while the other half kept focusing on Selene's heartbeat.
When the outer gates of the coven doomed, he was glad they made it alive. Michael forcefully pushed the button to open the gates. They opened just enough for him to go through at his current speed.
He already started to push the button for the inner gates as well, since they opened slower. He wasn't planning on using the brake until they were at the front door. Fortunately, the gate already responded. The guard was waiting outside, but Michael just sped by. No time to explain.
When the road ended, Michael kept going on the gravel path to the stairs. Nobody was awake yet, so no one could bitch about it. I'll probably growl at them anyway.
The car skidded to a stop just below the stairs and Michael jumped out. 'Varga!' He yelled toward the building. He knew Varga would be awake and pacing around somewhere perfectly hearing his arrival. The door opened and Varga stood in the doorway in the shadow. That was fast.
Michael got to the other side of the car. Eve already had the door open and smiled her sweet smile at him. He couldn't help but smile back. They knew the women they both loved had an actual chance of survival.
He lifted Selene out the car and walked up the stairs. Varga's smile was immediately wiped from his face when he saw her. 'What the hell?!'
'Take her to our chambers, I will meet you there.' He carefully handed Selene to Varga. Michael turned to Eve. 'Go with Varga, I will get supplies from the infirmary and meet you there.' Eve nodded and followed Varga inside.
Michael took a second to steady himself. Although they reached the coven with Selene still alive, she wasn't out of the woods yet. Taking a deep breath, he went back into his so-called medical zone and raced to the infirmary.
