A/N: ok, so I decided to leave 'A New Beginning' as it was. But seeing as
so many of you contacted me; asking me to write more. I'm starting a new
fic.
It does follow on from 'A New Beginning' and I will be referring back to
it. So if you are reading this and haven't read my first Underworld fic,
then I recommend that you do. It will clear things up before they arise.
I really hope you like this new piece, and if you are already familiar with my writing, you already know how I work; the more reviews I get, the faster the next chapter is posted.
I'm going to do more in this fic from the characters point of view coz I kind of liked that little bit in the last one.
Anyway, I hope you like it. Don't forget to review If you really wanna chat. I'm always looking to meet new ppl (MSN: L_Pearson5@hotmail.com, or AIM: aliasbadrobot.)
A LIFE LESS ORDINARY
Chapter 1: Michael
It feels like an eternity since I last held her in my arms.
The night she had been taken from me was the most painful I have ever experienced.
My heart hurts because I'm so relieved to have her back, I love the way she clings to me.
I know she can take care of herself but the fact that she needs me makes my heart beat so much faster. She must be able to feel it; she's so close. Maybe she can ever hear it.
She's buried her face in my neck, and I can feel her finger tip stroking the scar she has left me with. The mark of the bond between us.
I'm marching through the corridors of the vampire's mansion, past the bodies of guards strewn across the ground as a result of our intrusion.
Other aristocratic Vampires slink backwards into the shadows as I march on; My Lycan brothers close behind me, Selene cradled against my chest.
She is seen as a traitor here, but at least she will fight. These creatures, hiding from confrontation are a pathetic excuse for vampires.
I am ashamed to be linked to them, but I am proud to be linked to Selene; my vampire, my mate, my life.
I hear Luke growl at one of the snivelling vampires, then he laughs as the creature shrinks further into the shadows.
As we descend the large staircase, I see that Jason is ready with the same old carpet we had used to cover Selene last time. I hadn't expected him to volunteer so readily for the task of storming the mansion to retrieve Selene. After all, he had been the Lycan to first complain about her being a Vampire.
But now he was smiling, watching me carry her towards the small group he was with.
We had come here with a pack of 150 Lycans. And our numbers were so much smaller now. Most of the injured would be fine once the silver was removed.
Jason stepped forward and placed his hand on Selene's shoulder. She lifted her head then and only now, in the lights of the main hall, can I see the angry scrapes across her face. A deep gash on her right cheek bone which I assume was caused by the ring I had seen on Kraven's hand.
Now I wish I had done more to him than just throw him into the sunlight.
"Welcome back" Jason said quietly as he covered Selene's body with the carpet. He paused and looked straight at me, the only part of my mate not covered is her face.
Slowly, I kiss her, savouring the taste of her lips. She is smiling when I pull back.
I love the way she smiles.
When I first met her, she was always so cold, and her strict manner reminded me of my old headmistress at school. I had never expected that she was capable of such sweet smiles.
She rests her head back against me and Jason covers her completely. Walking around behind me to check that none of her flesh is exposed. Then with a nod and a slight pat on my back. He indicates for the doors to be opened.
The van is close by and I quickly climb in, holding her tightly until we are inside and the doors are closed. I sit on the ground in the back of the van and rest her in my lap. The other Lycans are watching as I uncover her face.
Her eyes burn into mine and I can't help smiling at her. She looks exhausted.
That's when I realise that it's mid afternoon, and she would normally have been sleeping
Gently I tell her to close her eyes and rest. I won't let her go ever again.
She was sound asleep when we arrived back at the den. It would be safer here now; the vampires knew the location of our home.
I placed her gently on the bed of our old quarters and crouch beside it. Gently touching her face, her wounds already almost healed.
My heart soured as I watched her sleep, not wanting to break physical contact with her.
But even through my joy of having her back with me, something kept eating away at me.
The location of our home was not an easy one to find. You really had to know where you were going.
How had the vampires found us so quickly?
I have the feeling that things weren't as straight forward as they seemed. Someone had told them where to find us. Someone who didn't like having a vampire in their home.
The only question now, was: who?
