A/N: ok guys, breath! Ooooo I got my first death threat! I hate too keep you all waiting but I think this instalment should satisfy your appetite for a while.

I don't know if I should make this one the last chapter or just keep writing.

Let me know. I really can't decide.

A NEW BEGINNING

Chapter 12: Strength

Selene could only watch as the sickening male approached her, strapped to the bed. His smugness almost suffocating her. He knew she could go nowhere, do nothing.

She wanted desperately to smash her fist into his face and escape, but her restraints were strong and keeping her right where she was.

She held her breath as he leaned in close to her face.

"Glad to see you awake." He sneered, and then pushed hiss mouth down over hers. She cringed, and slowly opened her mouth. Instantly he pushed his tongue inside, just as she had known he would. She bit down hard, feeling her teeth split him and his sickening blood fill her mouth.

He pulled back and she sat glaring at him, her mouth still full of his blood.

"Go on" he hissed at her "swallow, you know you want to."

Defiantly, she raised her chin slightly and opened her mouth, letting the blood pour down her chin, onto her chest. Then she spat the remainder straight at him.

He growled low in his throat and back handed her powerfully across the face. He then grabbed her ankles and pulled downwards, sliding her out of her sitting position into a flat one.

Jamming his knee forcefully between her legs; he began to pull at her shirt.

"Michael!" she grunted, almost begging for him.

"Shut up!" Kraven demanded and struck her again.

She called out her mate's name again, knowing it enraged the creature on top of her.

But then she sensed something, a warm feeling flooded through her and she didn't know why but she knew she had to make as much noise as she possibly could.

"NO!" she yelled as she wriggled under Kraven's grasp, making his self set task more difficult.

"NO, GET OFF! MICHAEL! MICHAEL! NO!" she was now screaming so loudly that her throat burned. She had no idea why but something inside her, a small voice in the back of her head, told her to keep shouting; and she did.

"MICHAEL!"

That was when they heard it. Gunfire. From inside the mansion. Kraven doubled his efforts to take her, but she only screamed out even louder and pulled hard against her restraints.

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARD! MICHAEL!" she gave a few strong tugs on her leg restraints and suddenly the right chain snapped. Quickly she brought her foot up and struggled to place it against Kraven's chest.

The door to the room burst open as one of the guards crashed through it and straight to the ground. Momentarily off guard by this, Kraven was catapulted backwards by Selene.

Two Lycans stalked into the room and stood growling down at Kraven. Selene watched, not knowing if she should he relieved or afraid.

Her doubts were cleared up when she saw the blue / grey skin.

"Michael!" she whispered, tears stinging her eyes as she watched him stalk right over to Kraven and grab him by the throat. He lifted him well over a foot off of the ground, growling, and showing each of his razor sharp fangs to the vampire who hissed back.

"You die for this Kraven!"

Selene instantly remembered the night they had spent in the old factory before the Lycans had found them.

She remembered the dream Michael had experienced, he had grabbed her by the throat and said those exact words.

She watched as he dragged the snivelling Vampire towards the covered window.

Quickly he looked at Selene, then to his Lycan companions. "Cover her" he instructed and they did. She could no longer see what was going on, but she could hear it all.

"You said that women are a mans weakness" Michael growled as he gripped Kraven tightly

"I say you are wrong." With one swift motion, Michael tore down the shutter and let the sunlight fall into the room. Kraven began to hiss and squirm against his grip but he couldn't free himself.

"Selene is my strength" he told him just as Kraven's skin caught fire. He was thrashing in agony and Michael simply tossed his burning body through the glass of the window, into open sunlight.

He watched for a little while, listening to the screams. Then he replaced the shutter, blocking the light and making it safe again for Selene.

He had transformed back into his human self when he pulled the sheets away from her. Luke and Ivan were also standing beside the bed, unfastening her bindings. As soon as her arms were free, she threw them around Michaels neck; holding him tightly.

"I'm sorry Michael" she whispered as she made a fist full of his hair.

"Don't be. It's all over now. We can go home."

"Home?" she asked as she looked deep into his eyes. He nodded and smiled, lifting her easily off of the bed. They both knew that she could easily walk but neither cared.

Some say that emotion is a weakness, but when someone you love is in danger; you become the strongest person you can possibly be.
