Selene was perched atop the ledge to Michael's apartment. Looking off into the pitch black of

the night sky. It was midnight and in the distance Selene could hear the music of some

partiers and the streets below were quiet as the dead.. Selene was restless and

nervous about all that was going on. Not that she would really show it.. But truth be told,

she felt so lost.. After all that happened, the beautiful Vampiress felt so lost right now..

Michael walked out onto the ledge, still nervous about being up on ledges like this.. But he

would get use to it eventually."Selene what are you doing out here?" Michael asked his

beautiful mate. Michael wrapped his arms around his mate. (Aw, mate.. definitely something

I could get used to.) Michael thought lovingly. Selene smiled up at her love. "I was just

looking, watching.." Selene trailed off, staring into space. Michael could sense her troubled

spirit. "What is it love?" Selene looked to her love, her eyes displaying her soul to him. He

could see all the pain and confusion in the haze of her chestnut orbs. No words were needed

for Michael to know what was going on with his mate, their bond was so strong, they could

touch each others soul in a way Michael nor Selene would ever have thought possible.

Michael held Selene close, he would protect her with every ounce of his immortal soul, she

was his angel, she was his everything. They both knew one of the reasons Selene was so

unsettled. They were the hunted.. Selene was an outcast from her coven simply for trying to

bring out the truth and all the lies surrounding her coven, and Michael was a hybrid, confused

and in love. They were both renegades.. They both looked down at the streets below,

watching for any sign of Vampires or Lycans that might be looking for them. Selene took one

more look and then said to her mate, "Michael, it's not long before they will find us, we need

to be ready at any time."Michael held her to him protectively. " I wont let them hurt you. I'll kill

every one of them. I swear it." Selene rested her head against her mate's chest. He kissed the

top of her ebony hair, inhaling her intoxicating scent. She smiled beneath her hair at him. Then

Selene untangled herself form her mate and walked back inside. Michael followed the lovely

Vampiress. "Selene baby, what is it?" Selene turned her back to him staring out an open

window, raw pain form the night two days ago stabbed her in the chest like the bite of a

shuriken. Crimson tears leaked out her tightly shut eyes, despite her efforts to hide them,

Michael with his hybrid senses could smell them.. Selene was suffering, all these years she

was lied to, all the betrayal, all from Viktor, her very own sire and dark father. Selene still

loved him, and it anguished her to kill him, but he had betrayed her her entire Vampiric life,

and tried to kill Michael. Michael pulled her into his arms gently. Trying in his own small

way to comfort his love from her emotional torment. Selene buried her head in his neck,

crying crimson tears of grief. She cried until her lungs couldn't take it anymore and Selene

cried herself out on her mate's shoulder. Michael whispered how much he loved her to his

angel, stroking her raven mane softly. He knew she needed this, to get it out, help her recover

from the emotional shock she had received just two nights ago. Selene was caught up in her

memories. Selene was sitting up in her bed, just turned a few months before,

blood red tears were streaming down her pale face. A tall aristocratic man

walked in, hearing her crying, it was Viktor. He sat down on the side of her

luxurious bed, noticing young Selene's tears he and asked, "What is it my

darling. Was it another nightmare?" Viktor pulled his dark daughter into his

embrace, stroking her jaw length raven hair, easing her night terrors. Viktor

knew she was having another nightmare, having to relive her family's murder

in her dreams. "Shh.. I know you want revenge my child, the Lycans will pay

I promise you." Viktor had eased her crying and tucked the covers back up

around her, kissing her forehead as she began to fall back asleep. Viktor stood

up and quietly left the room as his dark daughter slept. Memories of a certain

other young daughter crept into his mind, he pushed them away sadly, he had

done it for the good of the coven he reminded himself. Selene was assaulted with

yet another memory. Selene stood in a large training room, practicing attack

moves. She stopped briefly to get a drink of blood and she looked off to the

side, seeing her dark father Viktor watch on with pride. He smiled at her and

she went back to practice with renewed vigor. Selene's memories flew around in

her head, making the Vampiress light headed as her grief consumed her. She had loved

Viktor so much. But no matter what, she had to be strong and remember that he was the

one who killed her family, she would never forget it. But she still loved her dark father, she

figured she always love him but the hate for him grew deep also. He had butchered her

family then lied to her, she had gotten her revenge. So she had to get past all this. It would

hurt Selene knew, but it seemed like life.. or immortal life, was full of pain.. (Rest well in hell

my dark father.) Selene thought. Michael brushed a stray strand of hair out of her gorgeous

face bringing the former Death Dealer back into reality. Selene looked up at her mate with

bloody eyes, he kissed her lovingly, and Selene hugged him tight as she whispered, " I love

you Michael." Michael smiled down at his mate kissing her tear streaked face. He knew she

was in pain, he vowed he would be there for her always. Michael hoped he could help his

mate deal with her grief and pain. He held her close as they went off to bed for the

morning, the sun would be up in little under an hour. Selene was still struggling with her

emotional anguish, but she would take it head on, her tormented soul was finally beginning

to heal.
