Chapter 2:
Tick of the Clock
Tick. Tock. Tick... Tock. Tick. Tock.
I slowly opened my eyes as I herd the annoying ticking of a clock nearby, where it was coming from, I couldn't tell. I blinked for a moment and lifted my head ever so lightly off of what ever it was I was laying on, the bruise on my head where Viktor had struck me making my head pound with this simple movement. It took only a second for my eyes to adjust to the darkness as looked around. I had appeared to by lying on the floor in a small room which had only one window on the far side of the wall. Steel tables and chairs with shackles seemed to be all around me as I recognized the room instantly. I was lying on the cold tile floor of the interrogation room that I had once brought Michael to, to use as a safe house while trying to keep him away from the Lycans.
Though I new knew where I was, I was trying to remember how I had gotten here. It all seemed to be a blur to me, just one big blank spot where my mind and memories should have been. Fragments of the previous night had flown through my head, the Lycans, Viktor, Lucian, Michael, the two of us leaving the underground layers of the subway station where the blood had been shed, the two of us going to my car and speeding off into the night, the two of us driving around, silent, not knowing where to go and finally deciding to come here, and finally to me, passing out from exhaustion on the floor where I still obviously remained. The two of us. I looked around through the darkness to see where Michael was when suddenly I heard a movement on the floor right to the left side of me. Alarmed, in a flash I rolled over on top of the figure and had my gun out, pointed at their neck, ready to kill. My gun was cocked ready to fire when suddenly a hand wrapped around my neck pushing me back and pinning me to the floor where I lye gasping for breath under my attacker. My gun clattered across the floor and disappeared into the darkness and underneath a table.
"Its ok, it's just me!" a familiar voice said in an urgent whisper. It was Michael. He loosened his grip on my neck and oxygen flooded back through my lungs. He didn't move, only looked down at me from those scared chocolate eyes of his.
"Are you ok? Did I hurt you? I'm sorry if I did, I was just trying to get you --" But before he could finish I pushed him off of me and got up.
"I'm fine, you can't hurt me remember." It was more a statement then a question really. I didn't mean for it to come out so harsh, I just wanted to get out from underneath him, it made me feel vulnerable and I hated feeling vulnerable. I walked over to the light switch and flipped it on, despite the fact that I could see in the dark. The light flickered for a moment and then came on. It wasn't too bright, for a vampire's sake obviously, but it was light none the less. Michael squinted for a moment then looked up at me again with those scared, lost eyes of his. I held his gaze for a moment, and then looked away. I could feel him studying me as I walked over to the window that had been covered by thick metal blinds to block out the sun light. I guessed it was day time, for the blinds were on timers, always shutting out the death rays when it was time too. I looked at the clock that had woken me up. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon which meant we had a long time before we would be leaving this place.
"Why did you do what you did?" My thoughts where once again interrupted by Michaels soft voice. I turned and looked at him with a blank expression on my face.
"Did what?" I knew damn well what I did but I asked anyway, I don't know why.
"You killed him. Viktor. Why? I thought you loved him like a father." He spoke his word uncertainly, as though scared I would scold him. I looked away from him again and remained silent. He wanted answers and I was the only one who could provide them for him now, only the answers he seeked were far too painful to think about. I looked down at the floor as I washed the anger and sadness away. I didn't want to answer him, but I felt like I had to. I felt like I owed him that at the vary lest, after all, I had been the one who had brought him into this strange new world, just as Viktor had done so to me. I felt Michael get up and walk over to me. He was standing behind me, staring into my back waiting, until I felt his hand grasp my wrist so softly I almost cringed at how human the touch was.
"Selene I deserve the truth. When you. did what you did to me. I saw all of your memories, just like I did with Lucian. I felt the pain, the sorrow that happened that night. I saw how he turned you, how he then took you in. Why did you do it? You loved him. yet you killed him. For me?" Michael's words hit me hard, making me feel vulnerable again.
Damn him!
A tear slipped unwillingly from my eye as I pushed down the tears with anger.
"I didn't do it for you, I did it for me. He killed them. He lied to me. He told me that night that it had been the Lycans that had murdered my family while all this time he had been the true murderer!" All of my pain had left, leaving nothing behind now but anger. I turned around and faced Michael square in the eyes. He gazed at me, holding my stare.
"All this time I have been searching, hunting, killing. thinking that they had killed my family when all along the killer was right in front of my eyes, playing me for a fool, making my fight his battle and believing in his lies! He had taken the one thing I loved all because he couldn't tame the beast he really is!" I was shouting now, rage boiling in my blood as the past nights events finally caught up to me.
"I had believed him, helped him. Even loved him like a father. It never occurred to me that night.. How could I have been so stupid? So naïve? He had come out of now where, just appeared out of thin air. It never occurred to me that it had been his clan that took from my family without asking, stealing their lives away and drinking their innocent blood, while I was in the next room, as he fed from me and watched as I became infected with the vampire's virus. He watched as I slowly died and became this. creature of the night, cursed for all eternity. He took my life away, and made me his... Forever." Without realizing it, tears were slipping down my face and splashing to the cold tile floor like weeping crystals. All of my anger had been washed away as I cried my worries to this stranger before me.
Michael took a step closer and brought his hands to cup my face. I didn't want him here, I didn't want to feel his warm skin against mine, I didn't want to know what it was like to interact with another human, and yet.
Here I was, standing before Michael, the human, the hybrid, standing with my head in his hands looking down at the floor. He raised my head to look into his eyes.
Piercing green met with rich warm brown.
"You have me now." He whispered as if asking me to take him in, to teach him what he did not know, to promise to never leave or abandon him. I held his eyes with mine. I didn't know what I wanted but for now.
I took his offer. I leaned into his body and rested my head onto his chest as his warm arms wrapped around my small form. I don't know what happens next or where we go from here. I don't even know if I want him here with me as I try to figure it out. but for now I just stayed in his arms where I clung on for support. Neither he nor I know what I have gotten us into, what I have done to him. Only time would tell. one thing was for shore. I had marked him and no one could take that away from me now. The clock ticked near by. signaling the battle that was still to come. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. I had created this whole new creature which now made him...
"My Michael." I whispered the word to myself as if confirming it. I wrapped my arms around his as the clocked continued to click away.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. tock.
