Chapter 5: The New Found Strength

Michaels could here voices all around him, next to him, in his head. They were everywhere. His head pounded as he rolled over on his back and groaned, touching his head with his hands. He didn't open his eyes yet due to the fact that he was lying someplace comfortable and warm. He embraced the much needed sleep but found that he couldn't sleep for more then an hour because every time he slept, he dreamt.

He had had a crazy dream tonight, one filled with strange creatures that howled at the moon and these humans that sucked the blood out of others. There had also been a beautiful woman in his dream, dressed in all leather and had the skin as soft and smooth as a porcelain doll. Her name had been. Selene!

Michael's eyes shot open as the past two nights came flooding back into his mind. It had not been a dream at all so much as a real life nightmare. He jumped up and backed himself into a corner, looking around in alarm. He appeared to be in a small room lit with two lamps that had something draped over them, giving the room a gloomy aspect. There was a small bed that he had been laying on in the middle of the room which had accompanied a large oak nightstand which held the lamp. To the far wall across from the bed had been a large dresser which matched the solid oak nightstands. He shuddered. He had no clue where he was or what had happened.

He had been with Selene in her car when someone or something had ripped Selene from her seat and thrown her out of the car and onto the cold pavement. The last thing he remembered was going to help Selene when he had been hit hard in the back of the head, before even had a chance to transformed he had been struck repeatedly until he couldn't take anymore and passed out.

Michael's thoughts were interrupted as the sound of a door opening caught his attention. Something bumped him from behind and he jumped out of the way, across the bed and into another corner of the room. He hadn't even realized it but he had been standing right in front of a door. A big black man with a bald head and no shirt on came into the room and shut the door. Michael transformed immediately as he recognized the man, smelling the Lycan blood pumping through his veins. Michael's features shifted with ease, and his body changed in an instant. His teeth became those of a vampire as his skin tinted blue and his eyes shone black.

"Easy! I just want to talk," came the stranger's deep voice. Michael gave a small growling in his throat and stared at the man with his black hybrid eyes.

"I have no business with you." Michael hissed. The Lycan took a step back, it was so small that Michael almost didn't catch it. Almost. The man before him was scared. Of him? Michael studied the Lycan before him staring him down and making the creature feel intimidated. Michael didn't know how much power he held, even now, he was a hybrid, the beginning of a new species.

"My name is Raze, I am a Lycan. My master Lucian, told me before he died that there was such thing in this world as a hybrid. a man, half Lycan, half Vampire, but stronger then both." Raze went on as if he didn't even hear Michael.

"I though of it as a myth, to help bring hope to our kind, our coven, but them we found you. Michael Corvin, descendant of the Corvinus family blood line." Raze gave Michael a smile that made him look like a 6 year old trapped in a Huge mans body.

"And then there was hope. I didn't bring you here to hurt you Michael, I brought you hear to welcome you. To your new home, here with us, you brothers and sisters, the Lycan breed." Michael was thunderstruck. He had expected the Lycan to take him down, drink his blood and eat him alive, torture him until he told the where about of Selene, not ask him to join their coven.

"I already have a place to stay with --" Michael stopped dead in mid sentence thinking for a moment before confronting the Lycan before him.

"Where is Selene? What did you do to her?" His voice was low and cold, as if scolding Raze for no apparent reason.

"The Blood? Probably dead by now, serves her right. That bitch really." before Raze could finish Michael roared in fury at this news. She had been the one to take him into this world and he wasn't about let her leave him in it all by himself. Michael slashed out at the Lycan before he could get out another word. Raze was hit so hard that he flew across the room and hit the floor, knocked out cold.

"No one messes with Selene! You mess with her, you die!!!" Michael screamed as walked over to the Lycan and picked him up by the throat and lifting him into the air. He roared and was about to kill him when three bullets when flying into his back with the sickening sound of flesh being torn. He growled in fury and let Raze go tuning around and facing three more Lycans holding guns.

The all stopped what they were doing and gasped at the very sight of him. They had never seen a Hybrid before and an angry one at that. Though the bullet wholes in his back stung like hell, they didn't impair his strength at all, if anything it only made him stronger, as his anger only fueled him.

The three remaining Lycans dropped their guns and ran. Michael didn't feel like going after them, instead he walked out the door and looked around. He was in a shack or warehouse of some sort. Lycans of all sized gathered around to see what was going on and gasped and screamed as they laid eyes on him. He flashed his razor sharp teeth as he roared once again before finding his was out of the place he was kept captive and ran off as fast as he could into the night, only one thought going through his head. "Selene.Please don't leave me."

A/N: I hope that you like this chapter. I'm sorry it is so short and if it is really bad, I apologize. I was in a bit of a hurry to get this posted, but I PROMISE the next chapter will be really good. The next chapter will definitely have Selene in it and maybe Marcus too. Something REALLY big will happen in sooner or later chapters ; ) But for now. ENJOY!! Please REVIEW!!
