A/N: right so from the reviews I got it looks like I did my job :-D
Thanks for taking the time to read it and not hunting me down for what I
had Kraven do.
I hope you enjoy these next few chapters, I know I'm going to enjoy writing
them.
And keep the reviews coming in; it's the only way I know if the story is
working or not.
Thank you

A NEW BEGINNING
Chapter 11: Emptiness
"Michael!" the voice was distant, not quite clear. He couldn't figure out who was calling his name.
"Michael, open your eyes"
He groaned as he felt himself being rolled onto his back. The light burned his eyes when he tried to open them, so he screwed them up to protect them.
"Selene?" his voice was weak, and as he spoke her name he reached his hand out in the direction he had last seen her, but the only thing he felt was the wooden floorboards. Reaching a little further, his fingers touched something thick and wet; her blood.
Slowly he forced his eyes open, gritting his teeth against the burning. His heart stopped when the only thing he saw in front of him was a blood covered floor boards.
"Michael, what happened" the voice was close and familiar.
"Kraven" Michael croaked, his eyes glued to the place he had last seen his mate.
Luke followed his gaze, and when his eyes fell on the dark red pool; he understood.
"I have to find her" Michael grimaced as he tried to get to his feet, six silver bullets still lodged inside him.
"Not like that you're not!"
"I have to. Do you know what he'll do to her?"
Luke reluctantly helped Michael to his feet. "Do you really think you'll be able to help her if you go there like this?"
Michael only looked at him.
"All you'll achieve is to get yourself killed in front of her. How do you think she'll manage with that?"
Although he hated having to wait to help her, he knew that Luke was right. He couldn't do anything to help at that moment, and the thought hurt more than his wounds.
"Come on," Luke spoke gently to him, knowing how he must feel about the situation. "We'll get you back to the den where we can take those rounds out of you. Once they're gone you'll start to heal while we figure something out to get Selene back."
He could only nod and let himself be lead from the building.
***back at the mansion***
Kraven smirked to himself as he strode down the long corridor, at the end of which, two armed guards stood either side of a large double door.
They lowered their guns as they saw Kraven approach; he walked briskly past them and through the doors, closing them behind him.
She was still unconscious when he seated himself beside the bed. Her feet and hands were strapped down to prevent her escaping out of the window, just as she had the last time he had confined her.
He grinned to himself as he watched her; after all this time she was finally his. She had said she'd do anything to spare the hybrid's pathetic life and he planned to hold her to her word. Just as soon as she was awake and healed, he would make sure she stood by what she had said.
At the thought of her wounds, he lifted the bottom of the shirt she was wearing; revealing an angry looking hole. It was much smaller than it had been and that pleased him greatly.
Slowly, he stroked the palm of his hand across her toned stomach, smiling hungrily at the sensation of her pale skin against his own.
*soon* he thought to himself *very soon*.
***
*I never thought I'd be back here, this was supposed to be over.
I hate this room, these walls, and these windows. I spent 200 years of my life here, surrounded by people like myself. But I was always alone.
I never thought I'd be sitting here again; in these clothes, looking at those gates. Hundreds of people, and I'm so alone.
I was never alone with him. My hybrid, my mate, my Michael.
My wounds are almost healed now, and I know what that means.
He'll come for me. To make me live up to my promise. 'Anything', I told him I'd do anything to save my mate.
That was 2 days ago.
What has changed in the past 2 days?
Nothing!
I said anything, and I meant anything. Anything for him.
I know what that bastard wants. I know I should feel scared, but right now the only thing I feel is a huge emptiness.
I long for my mate, but I know that he will be killed if I try to go to him, or he to me.
I dread the time Kraven decides to show his face. The face I hate more than anything.*
Selene was snapped out of her thought when she heard the door to her room click shut. She turned quickly and felt a sinking in her stomach when her eyes fell on him.
"Hello Selene" Kraven smirked as he crossed the room purposefully towards her.

A/N Another shortie but I'm really busy. Sorry. Didn't want to keep you waiting too long though. Hope you like it, please review. Thanks a bunch.
