on this chapter all I'm going to say is 'brace yourself' lol
A LIFE LESS ORDINARY
Chapter 6: Heartache
Only three vampires moved when the two entered the main hall. The guards quickly searched Luke and Michael for hidden weapons.
When they were satisfied that their 'guests' were unarmed, they ushered them through into the next room. There was a large, ornate fireplace against the far wall.
In front of it, and slightly to one side, stood a high-backed black leather chair, from which Kraven smirked at them.
"Have a seat" he instructed tauntingly, waving his hand in the direction of the two chairs opposite him.
"Where is she?" Michael snapped without moving another inch.
"Now, Now Michael! She's here, and she's unharmed, now sit"
Reluctantly, Michael did as he was instructed.
"You really need to stop attacking the mansion." Kraven spoke matter-of- factly as he reached out to take a glass of dark red liquid from the table next to his chair.
"And you really need to stop abducting my mate!"
"Your mate?" Kraven's voice was slow and taunting. "I believe you'll find Selene has a different view on the matter."
"What would you know!?!" Michael was about to leap at Kraven, but Luke placed his hand on his arm, keeping him where he was. They needed to have Selene with them before they tried to escape.
"Well, why don't we ask her" he turned then to the butler standing in the corner. "Bring her in would you"
Michael could feel the anger burning inside of him as he glared at Kraven. No one had the right to be that smug.
As soon as Selene was here, they would leave. Fighting or not, they would leave.
A few minutes passed before the butler returned.
Michael watched as he held the door open and Selene walked slowly into the room, her eyes fixed on the ground.
He was slightly confused that she wasn't in chains as she had been the previous time, there were no guards watching her as she moved to the centre of the room.
She looked refreshed and clean, wearing a dark red blouse and leather trousers.
Slowly she glanced up, instantly making eye contact and almost a quickly she looked at Kraven then back at the ground.
"Selene?" Michael's voice was infinitely soft and filled with relief and love.
She felt her heart begin to tare as she knew what she had to do. She wanted nothing more than to leave this place with him, but she knew she could not.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" he moved quickly to stand beside her and put his arms around her waist, holding her tightly against him.
She let him for a time, closing her eyes and memorising the way he touched her, she knew this would be the last time she would feel it.
Kraven cleared his throat and slowly Selene opened her eyes. As she looked at him he indicated the hidden guards, guns locked on the hybrid in case she decided she didn't want to go through with it.
She waited a few more seconds, dragging out the contact as long as she dared. Then she backed away.
Michael's eyes were confused as he looked at her, still holding her waist.
"Selene? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine" she had to will her voice not to betray her.
Michael smiled warmly "ok, let's get out of here" he moved closer slightly, wanting to kiss her but she moved away from his lips and his hands.
She side stepped him and, although it killed her inside to do it, she stood next to Kraven, her hand resting on the top of the high-backed chair.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm staying here, with Kraven" her voice was flat and cold but her heart was being torn apart inside of her.
"What? Selene you hate him"
Slowly she look at Kraven, he was watching her with an interested expression, his eyes urging her to finish the discussion.
"No Michael, I don't" she took a deep breath and steeled herself against what she had to force herself to say next. "I love him; I want to stay here, with him"
Kraven was grinning widely, thoroughly enjoying the show. And loving the sound of her voice saying that she loved him, he knew it was empty but he didn't care.
"I don't believe that!" Michael refused to accept what she was telling him, just as she had known he would.
"He's making you say this isn't he? What did he tell you? Why are you doing what he wants? Selene, why?"
"He's not making me do anything." She so wanted to say his name but she knew if she did she would buckle and he would be killed "this is my choice!"
"I don't believe you!" he stood his ground, his heart hurting from her words but still telling him that she wasn't sincere. "You marked me Selene! Don't you remember that? Don't you feel it?"
Kraven's smirk faded. He hadn't known that Selene had entered into that depth of relationship.
"I do" she said softly, her determination faltering. She loved him so much, she couldn't do this but she knew she had to. Her next statement shattered her own heart as she knew it shattered his. "That was a mistake."
Michael looked as though he had been smacked in the chest with a sledge hammer.
"You don't mean that!" tears stung his eyes as he refused to believe what she was saying.
"I mean every word" she lied. Her own eyes beginning to fill slightly, she pushed the tears back and took a deep breath.
"I want you to leave Michael. And I never want you to come back here. Ever."
"Selene, don't do this." His tears slid down his face as he grabbed her hand only to have her snatch it back and move closer to Kraven.
"Please" he was begging her, crying openly as his heart felt like it was dieing inside him. "I love you Selene, you know that. Please, please don't do this. I know you love me. I know it"
"No I don't!" she choked on a sob then and Kraven grabbed her arm, pulling her down to her knees next to the chair.
He whispered "good girl, now make him believe you"
She felt sick as she pressed her lips to Kraven's. Closing her eyes tightly, trying to forget who she was kissing. She heard Michael cry out as she deepened the kiss
"Oh god no, Selene." He sobbed as he fell to his knees, his heart crushed by the sight before him.
