Selene ran down the bleak, wet streets of Budapest. She had to get away, needed some time

to herself. The female Vampire's thoughts and feelings plaguing her. So much was happening,

one moment she was a prestigious Death Dealer, she had a home, her coven, till she

found out the truth.. So as not to worry Michael, it was not very far away, and she had her

guns to protect herself with. A constant drizzle of rain had begun to pour from the raven night

sky, soaking the female Vampire. "Damn," Selene muttered in her crisp British accent.

Pulling her coat around her athletic frame just a little tighter. Even Vampires did not enjoy

being soaked, unless it was nice, hot water, like from a shower and such. The female Vampire

then stopped in her tracks when she picked up a scent, from the smell it was a small group of

Vampires, she could recognize the smells of her brethren, and from the scent she could tell

they were heading her way. The Vampiress swiftly picked up her pace, and ran faster.

Selene came to an alleyway, turned sharply and slipped in the narrow passage. She continued

running down the alley until she came to a manhole, dropping to her knees like a graceful

jaguar, Selene lifted the hatch and jumped in swiftly. Selene closed the hatch after landing,

sniffing the air, (Good Lycan free.) Selene thought relieved, she had enough problems

without them too. Selene waited for a few minutes then tested the air near the hatch. It

smelled somewhat clear of the Vampires that had been following her, so she cautiously

opened the manhole hatch and climbed up and then out. Only to be grabbed by a strong pair

of leather clad arms. Selene hissed ready to fight. She looked up into the eyes of a fellow

Vampire, she could tell he was a Death Dealer. Selene hissed a warning hiss, and her eyes

went electric blue. She grabbed her assailant's wrist and flipped him onto his Vampiric ass,

then Selene did a high back flip. In midair, Selene twisted and pulled her Berettas out and

started opening fire on the Vampire. The deadly Vampiress plugged a bloody hole in his

immortal heart while landing with the grace of a panther. (It's a bloody ambush! I picked a

wonderful fucking time to go out!) Selene's mind taunted and scolded her. Selene fired twice

more and then the Vampire fell, twitching from blood loss. She was about to plug another

bloody hole in his body, when she was tackled from above, her head hitting the pavement

hard, enough to make her see spots. Selene hissed at this new threat and threw him off her

with her powerful strength. She shook off the spots in her vision and round house kicked the

second Vampire square in the jaw, making his head snap back, breaking his neck on impact.

Shooting him once, he fell and Selene spun around to face a third, who shot her in the side

before she could react and defend herself. Blood poured from the wound in her side, but she

ignored it and pulled out her throwing stars from her leather Death Dealer jacket, sending one

whizzing into his shoulder then one to the neck with deadly accuracy. The third Death Dealer

lurched, blood spurting like a geyser out of his neck and down his throat like a river. Selene

blinked once, her vision blurring slightly from loss of blood, but she fought it off. Two more

Death Dealers came running, shooting at her. Sprinting like a cheetah, Selene dodged her

brethren's fire, throwing her self behind a wall. Selene reloaded her guns with lightning speed

and ducked around opening fire onto her former comrades ruthlessly. She heard a hiss and

shriek as one was hit. It hurt her to have to kill her own kind but she kept firing, nailing the

other, but not before taking another bullet in her stomach. A little trail of precious Vampiric

blood began to flow out of her abdominal wound. Selene clutched her side, once again fighting

the searing pain away with a force of inhuman will.

----------------------------------

Michael tore down the street, growling in anger at his mate's actions, running off on her own.

Especially right now, with them being the hunted. But fear for his love's life paralyzing him

with the images running through his head, images going through his head of her being

hurt, or killed, or possibly something worse, her being captured by Marcus and her former

coven and being burned under the sun, like Lucian's mate Sonja... Memories of that flowing

through his head like water, they scared him.. "Please be alright my angel.." He whispered in

prayer, running faster, following her scent. The hybrid was ready and would tear the first

sorry shit apart with his bare hands that dare harm his mate.

----------------------------------

Selene checked for more of her brethren, no more came out to attack her, so she slipped

out from behind the wall, hissing in pain from her silver bullet ridden side at the movement.

The silver would not effect her, being a Vampire, but it would kill a Lycan. But she had to stem

the blood flow and get the bullets out so her body could regenerate properly. Loss of blood

was weakening her fast, quite deadly for her species, next to sunlight. Then Selene heard

hisses and growls coming from another nearby team of Death Dealers, (Wonder how they got

here so fast, they must have been following the last team..) Selene thought and then took off

at a run, going back to her and her mate's apartment. "No, I can't do that, that might lead

them right to my mate.." Selene said anguished as she stopped abruptly. Instead the

Vampiress took off in the opposite direction, fighting to stay standing as she steadily lost

blood, she pressed her fingers to her side, trying to stem the blood flow, slowing its deadly

trickle slightly. It hurt like hell, and she also felt lightheaded and starting to weaken, but

Selene kept running determined to protect her love.. She forced her battered body to go

faster. ( If I can throw them off for awhile, I can keep them away from my mate and protect

him, till they give up for the night, so I could return. But I got to be quick, to beat the morning

sunlight.) Selene thought with a warrior's sense while leading them away from her beloved

mate, Michael.
