A/N: again thank you for reviewing. I really do appreciate your input. I
hope you enjoy reading this chapter and I certainly hope it has the desired
effect. You really have to review it if you like it or not. Please, just
let me know what you think.
A mild warning, there is a sexual scene in this chapter, nothing too bad, but it's there. Don't report me because I did warn you.
A NEW BEGINNING
Chapter 10: Anything
The van moved down the old dirt road, its headlights bouncing through the darkness and getting lost in the thickness of the surrounding trees. And Selene began to understand just how right Michael had been when he said you have to know where to look.
She was seated next to him in the back of the van, and she realised that she was squeezing his hand between her own as the van moved on. The thought of being away from the large numbers she had been used to for 200 years made her both nervous and relieved at the same time.
She had been forced to interact with the vampires and, in the past two weeks, the Lycans. But now she would be choosing to share her living area with only one person. She would have something she had long ago told herself she would never have. She would have what she remembered her parents had had.
She remembered how much they had loved each other. Her father had lost his life trying to protect his wife and family, and Selene knew, as she looked over at him, that Michael wouldn't hesitate to put his life on the line to keep her safe; this both comforted and unsettled her.
As if sensing her uneasiness, Michael leaned in close to her ear and whispered quietly. "We're almost there, it won't be too long before they leave us, then it's just you and me"
He smiled at his own words and gently kissed her cheek. It felt like he had waited a lifetime to be alone with her, and now it was finally happening.
She was his.
***
The van stopped and Michael jumped out of the van excitedly, holding his hand out towards Selene. She didn't need his help getting out of the van but she took his hand anyway before she leapt to the ground beside him. He was smiling as he covered her eyes with his hand and led her a little further down the road. Gently he turned her to face their new home and removed his hand.
The building was made up of red bricks, the roof was slated, there were patches here and there where the tiles had fallen, or been blown by strong winds.
Selene smiled. "There are underground levels?" she remembered as she looked over at him.
"Three" he slid his arms around her waist and smiled.
"Ok" Luke said in a friendly voice as he approached the couple. "We're going to be going then. Best of luck to you, and don't leave it too long to visit us. Or else I'm going to have one very upset little cub" He laughed and shook both Michael and Selene's hands.
Not long after, they were alone.
"Let's go inside" he almost chirped as he started to move her towards their new home.
When they reached the front door, Michael opened it then turned to look at Selene.
"I've always wanted to do this" he told her, smiling brightly at her confused expression. She gasped as he lifted her, cradling her body with his powerful arms, and carried her over the threshold, into their building.
He didn't set her down though, but carried on walking through the hall to a set of stairs leading down into darkness, he descended them.
Selene's eyes adjusted almost instantly to the thicker black and she spotted where he was taking her. They were in a long corridor, at the end of which was a door, it was open; revealing a large double bed, and Michael was headed straight for it.
Through the darkness she looked back at his face and ever so gently, she kissed him.
The kiss had heated up so much that she didn't even notice when her back met the soft mattress.
She was already pulling at Michael's shirt, tugging it over his head and then dragging the palms of her hands over his warm skin as his mouth moved away from hers to work the sensitive spot in her neck.
His hand slid lightly over her thigh, up underneath her shirt to stroke her flat stomach lightly. The ticking feeling of his fingers dancing across her skin caused her to laugh.
The sound was like music to him, firing him on.
He couldn't believe that he had her.
She was his!
He was still working her neck when he felt her tense up. Slowly, he lifted his head, still stroking her stomach. His hand froze where it was when he found himself looking into her eyes. Not the eyes he had lost himself in the last time he had made love to her. No, they were the eyes of her vampire self, although there was something different; a kind of heat emitting from the icy blue stare.
Slowly he let his eyes drift to her mouth; her fangs were barely visible, she was panting slightly, fighting to control herself. He watched as she raised her wrist to her mouth and sunk her fangs into herself; dark red blood started to run down her arm.
At the sight of it, Michael felt the vampire in him spring to life. He felt hungry, lusting for the taste of blood, her blood. She licked her lower lip slowly as she held her wrist towards him. Unsure what he should do, he let his instincts take control. Holding her wrist tightly, he brought it to his mouth and began to drink from her.
She closed her eyes, concentrating on the feeling. Then she lost her hold on her desire; grabbing a fist full of his hair with her free hand, and pulling his head to one side.
That was when Michael understood what she was doing. The moment of delight was suddenly taken over by a burning pain as she sank her fangs into his neck. Drinking from him as he drank from her, creating the blood bond she had told him about. It didn't take long for the feeling to change again. The pain softened and became extremely pleasurable.
He could almost feel himself being drawn into her very soul as he proceeded to make love to her while they continued to give exactly what they took, binding them together for eternity.

"That the place?" one of the guards enquired as they sat in the cover of the thick trees. His answer came in the form of a sharp, deathly cold glare from his new leader.
Kraven turned back to the old building and closed his eyes, using his exceptional hearing to confirm if they were inside. He growled with disgust as he heard them.
"Well?" another guard whispered "are we going to move or just sit here and wait for the sun to come up?"
Kraven stared at the building long and hard.
"Not yet. Now we go back to the mansion. We'll watch them, and then, when they're least expecting it, we strike" Although he knew that now would be the perfect time to catch them off guard he didn't want to storm in and find her making love with him.
He knew he wouldn't be able to control himself and he wanted to be strategic.
***time laps***
The empty space beside him caused him to wake.
Scanning the room quickly, searching for her; an uneasy feeling rising from his stomach and gripping his heart.
"Selene?" he called softly, but there was no answer. He couldn't tell if it were night or day due to the fact he was underground.
Slowly he climbed out of the bed and pulled his jeans on. Walking through the halls bare foot; going from room to room searching for her.
Eventually he found her on the ground level. She was wearing a pair of his shorts and his favourite blue shirt. She didn't move at all as he came closer to her.
"Selene?"
"Something's wrong" she said flatly as he lay his hands on her hips "I can feel it"
"I know you can, I feel it too. Right here" he turned her and placed her hand on his chest. She smiled slightly and kissed his lips so gently he almost couldn't feel it.
When they parted, she gently ran her fingertips over the red mark she had left on his neck. She smiled more brightly as she thought about what that mark meant. She knew he had wanted it, but until the moment he had touched her that night, she hadn't know how much she had wanted it too.
The strength of the bond was staggering; they instantly knew when the other was troubled, or unsettled. They seemed to know what the other was going to ask before they had started. They were almost one.
In that moment of peace, all hell broke loose.
The heavy door imploded and 15 vampire guards stormed into the room. Michael instinctively jumped in front of Selene, pushing her back out of the way.
As she stumbled backwards she collided with someone. Hands gripped her wrists and turned her.
"Hello Selene" his voice was a menacing whisper "I've missed you"
"Kraven!" she almost spat out his name as though it had caused a very unpleasant taste.
She began to struggle against him but his anger had given him a grip of iron. His eyes were burning as he glared at her. He gasped in pain as she brought her knee up to strike him sharply in the groin.
His grip was released and as he lent slightly forward to ease the pain, she slammed the heal of her hand upwards into his jaw; sending him flying backwards.
Michael was busy fighting off the other 15 vampires; he had dispersed of 4 of them and was battling fiercely with the remaining guards. Having escaped Kraven's grasp, Selene dashed to aid her mate. They fought side by side, snapping necks and crushing bones as the number of opponents slowly withered.
Suddenly there was a loud bang.
Her eyes were wide and her breath ragged as she looked down slowly. Her own deep red blood was pouring into a pool at her feet.
As Michael disposed of another vampire his eye caught a flash of blue falling down to the ground.
He turned and saw Selene on her knees, the front of the shirt now a deep crimson. Another loud bang filled the air and she slumped forward, crashing to the old floorboards.
Michael ran in her direction and a rapid succession of bangs brought him too to the ground. Knowing the vampire was moving in around them. He kept his eyes on her face; a single tear ran from her eye as she reached her hand out to him, watching him drag himself along the ground, reaching for her.
Their fingers linked as the boots stopped beside his head. Slowly he looked up and saw Kraven, holding a smoking gun in his hand.
"You see Michael. Women are a mans one weakness. She's hurt and you drop your guard to help her." he laughed "you fool." He raised his gun and pressed it against Michael's forehead.
"No!" Selene gasped as she stared up at Kraven. He turned to her still holding the gun on Michael
"Give me one good reason"
"Please, I'll do anything" she sobbed "just don't kill him"
"Anything?" he asked smirking at her. She knew exactly what he was suggesting. Quickly she looked at Michael, the silver bullets in his torso seemed to be causing him a lot of discomfort but they wouldn't kill him. The one Kraven was preparing to put in his head certainly would.
Slowly she brought her eyes back to Kraven. And swallowed hard.
"Anything!" she confirmed.
Michael felt his own tears sliding down his face as he stared at her. "Selene" he whispered and she looked straight at him, crying harder now.
That was the last thing his mind registered before Kraven's boot collided with his head.
