Blood slowly crept along the marble floor. It flooded over Marcus's tomb, and sunk into the cracks. It trickled down his frozen corpse and it flowed into his mouth and down his throat. His bright blue eyes shot open.
~*~*~
Selene woke up with Michael's arms around her slender body. Her eyes widened. "Why the hell did I let him do this?" she cried in her mind. For some reason she didn't want to move. She gulped and shut her eyes.
Michael opened his eyes a few moments later. He breathed in her fresh and mysterious scent and smiled. He'd finally got to hold her, the strong one who always has her defenses up. He was lying with the one that Kraven wanted so much, but wasn't allowed to have. "Does this mean she's mine?" Michael asked himself in his mind.
~*~*~
"He has risen!" cried a vampire as he ran through the hall. "Marcus has risen!" He ran all throughout the house yelling this, informing all that Marcus was indeed alive.
Kraven crept around the corner. A sly grin appeared on his lips. Somehow he was able to get back into the house. Probably because most of the people that knew he was a traitor already died.
Erika was walking through the hall and Kraven reached out and grabbed her arm. "Erika baby," he said. When she glared at him he smiled innocently. "What? No hello? No 'Hey Kraven, what's shakin?'" he replied. "You make me sad."
"You disgust me!" Erika spat and pulled loose of Kraven's grasp. She continued on her way to her room. Kraven didn't give up that easy. He trailed after her.
"Erika! Oh Erika! Don't you want to be my bride? I was going to ask you to marry me, but since I disgust you . . ." he trailed off. The trap was set. Kraven knew she'd fall for this one. He had her right where he wanted her.
Erika slowed to a halt. She turned around to reveal a small smile. "You said that you wanted Selene as your bride!" she shrilled. She placed a hand on her hip and stood in a way that said she was waiting for Kraven's refusal.
"No, you heard wrong!" Kraven said getting a case of shifty eyes. "I was just saying that. Just - be my bride!"
Erika smiled. "Okay," she grinned.
"Now, we must go see Marcus," Kraven replied.
"But what about you? You lied," Erika said with a frown.
"That never happened. It was all something that Selene made up!" Kraven whispered.
The two vampires walked through the hall. They entered the room that held the three vampire elder's tombs. Two of them were dead, murdered in the same blood-filled night.
Kraven nodded to the man behind the glass who pressed a button and the doors opened. Marcus was sitting in the stone throne in the back of the room. He had many tubes in his back sending blood into his body. He looked as if he was asleep, but as soon as Kraven came before him he looked up. Kraven and Erika knelt before him.
"I have seen much distress," Marcus said slowly. "In the memories of the one who has awakened me!" His voice was harsh and strong. "My lord, there has been many bloody murders," Kraven said quietly. "Two of them include Amelia and Viktor."
Marcus' eyes grew wide with shock. "Who has slain them? Surely not the Lycans, they are far too weak without Lucian."
"Amelia was taken down my Lycans; they wanted her blood to create some sort of hybrid!" Kraven replied. "His name is Michael, he is the descendant of Corvinus!"
"And what of Viktor? Who has murdered him?!" Marcus cried.
"Our very own Selene," Kraven bowed his head. "It appears that she is in love with this Michael. Viktor and Michael were fighting and Selene killed Viktor with his own sword!"
Marcus gasped and looked away. "Selene must speak with me! She must come here!"
Kraven looked up. "Won't you kill her?"
"Yes, but there must be a conversation before she perishes! Kraven; your job is to locate her and the hybrid! Do not kill either, they are to come here first!" Marcus commanded.
"Yes my lord," Kraven replied before leaving the room.
~*~*~
Selene was now sitting on the couch in the living room. She was thinking about everything she had just done. Tears came to her eyes every time she thought about it. Viktor, the one she trusted so much was the one who had so brutally slaughtered her family, she'd killed him. She'd gone against all the laws and broken her life.
Michael woke a second time and noticed Selene wasn't beside him. He rose from the bed and walked out of the room. He was still in the same pants and topless. He saw her on the couch and he stepped up quietly behind her. He set a hand on her shoulder.
Selene turned around quickly and pulled away. "When the sun goes down I'm leaving this place. I do not belong here," she said quietly.
Michael didn't say a word. He just stared into her teary chocolate eyes. He sat down next to her on the couch.
Selene looked at the wall ahead of her and blinked back tears. "I - I can't believe I killed him, I killed Viktor." Her voice had an unusual shake to it. "I'll never be allowed to go back; they'll kill me on site as if I were a Lycan!"
Michael looked at her. "I didn't think the all-powerful Selene was capable of having these sorts of thoughts," he replied quietly.
Selene didn't respond. She kept her eyes on the same spot on the bare wall. An arm wrapped around her shoulder; it was Michael's. She flinched but she didn't pull away this time. She needed some comfort right about now. Selene leaned into Michael and rested her head against his sculpted chest.
Michael gently stroked Selene's pitch black hair and sighed. Memories of his wife flooded his mind; his wife, so beautiful and young. She was his life, his will, his freedom. Then there was the accident; the one that killed her. That's when he pledged to become a doctor, to help others survive because he couldn't help her. Was this wrong? Was being with Selene a mistake?
He was the reason she was being hunted. If it weren't for him she'd be allowed to go home. She rescued him, and even saved his life. But at the same time he'd saved her too.
~*~*~
Kraven scanned the streets from the windows of BMW. He was in search for Selene and Michael. Despite her hatred from him, Kraven still wanted Selene as his bride.
"Where the fuck can she be?" Kraven cursed. Then it hit him. "She's with Michael. Michael's apartment!" He sped off to Michael's apartment complex. When he got there he saw Selene's Jaguar.
A devious grin appeared across Kraven's face as he walked up the stairs of the building. He came to apartment number 510 and kicked open the door . . .
**There you have it - chapter 2!! If you guys have any suggestions or requests please tell me, I'll find a way to put it in! Please review! Thanks!!**
