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 :)
When Selene had chosen Michael again, Varga had let go of any feelings he had for her. Seeing them together made it easier for him to let go. Michael and Selene were meant to be together. Over the last few years, he made himself useful by running errands and spending time with Eve, a true right hand to the throne. He was happy with his role and the freedom it provided.
Varga was roaming around the hallways, wondering when the royal couple would be back. He smiled at his own thoughts. Selene hated that name, which only meant he used it at every opportunity possible.
Although they promised to be back a few hours ago, Varga didn't worry. Selene was more than capable to protect her family. That is, if Michael even lets her fight. The only way Selene knew how to blow off some steam from all the meetings was to get her adrenaline pumping. Michael was opposed of course, until she dared him to a fight. They went at it for a few hours, while the whole coven watched. Varga barely dared to enter the arena to stop them. Both had growled at him, until they saw the amount of people watching them. After that, once a while they would close off the arena for an hour and go at it.
He walked downstairs to security. Their head of security greeted him and pointed to a chair.
'Anything exciting happening?' Varga asked, but he already knew the answer.
'Same as usual, few squirrels crossing the road. They haven't arrived yet.' Danny knew what he was looking for.
'Did you see that fight between Jake and Nathan?'
'Yeah, they really were pissed off.' Danny said. 'It's a good thing David intervened, they'd probably have killed each other.'
Ugh, David. 'Would have been better if he were caught in the crossfire.' Varga smirked.
Danny laughed at his face. The whole coven knew about the unspoken feud between him and David.
Danny and Varga chatted for a bit when they both saw something nearing the outer gate. Based on the speed of the car, they were in a big hurry.
'The outer gates are opening, must be someone from the coven. Whose car is that?' Varga asked.
'Not sure, the cameras up there aren't the best. But seriously, they are going to crash the gate!' Danny got back to work and signaled the guard at the inner gate.
Varga focused on the camera. The car was black with tinted windows, which narrowed it down to the whole coven. The car barely missed the outer gate. What is their hurry anyway?
The cameras located by the inner gate were a lot clearer and he could now see the license plate. 'Wait, that's Selene's car! Let them go through.'
As Varga left the office, he heard Danny signal the guard to back off. As Varga hurried to the front door, he heard Michael already call him. Jeez, what's the rush! He opened the door but made sure he kept in the shadow.
Michael walked around the car and opened the back door. Oh, Selene must really hate him now. Varga smirked. But his grin vanished immediately. Michael was carrying Selene in a blanket, apparently unconscious.
'What the hell?!' Was the only thing Varga could manage to exclaim.
'Take her to our chambers, I will meet you there.' Michael gently handed Selene to him and turned to Eve. 'Go with Varga, I will get supplies from the infirmary and meet you there.'
Varga went inside with Eve following him. He didn't dare ask her what had happened.
They moved through the castle on automatic pilot. Varga looked at Selene's face. It was paler compared to normal and she looked younger in her unconscious state. Eve opened the door for him to her parents' chambers and let him inside. Varga went straight for the bedroom and placed her on the bed.
Eve rushed over and he took a step back. As Eve removed the blanket from her mother, Varga saw the bandages. Some of them were already soaked in blood. He clenched his fists in order not to storm out and hit the first person he came across.
How the hell did this happen? The person responsible wouldn't see the light of day when he met Varga. Varga was plotting revenge when Michael rushed in. He carried a bag with what seem to be all the supplies they had in the infirmary. Varga made sure he wasn't in the way and kept as still as possible, hoping he wouldn't be dismissed.
Selina800wow: I hope this does some honor to the version of Varga you have in your mind. And sorry it is short again, I promise the next one will be a lot longer.
