Selene awoke to a monstrous pain in her abdomen, from the bullets, they had worried there

way deeper into her side. Blood dripped from her wounds, she was very dizzy and her body

was even colder than normal.. The Vampiress could not hold her head up anymore, falling

back, as she fell unconscious again.

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

The hybrid ran, following his beloved mate's exotic scent. Finally the trail ended at a house, a

tall, black bricked house. It looked quite dark inside with the tinted windows. He

knew his Selene was here, somewhere in this house. Michael hurriedly ran in, stopping cold

when he saw his beautiful angel, Selene lying on the floor unconscious. The moon awashing

her body in a silver glow, bathing her deathly pale features. Giving her the appearance of a

leather clad angel. Selene's breath came in short stints, once in a while her chest hitching, as a

thin line of blood bled out of the corner of her ashen lips. "No! Selene!" Michael cried

mournfully, pulling his mate to him, hugging her to his chest gently. Selene opened her eyes

slightly, then they fell shut. Blood pouring from her side, and dribbling from her mouth. The

bullets had buried into a vital artery. The hybrid felt tears began to form in his solid black eyes,

as he opened her leather suit, after pulling her thick leather corset off, having fumbled with the

strings. His mate's breathing was slowing, as Michael said, sadly, "No my love, if you die I

know I will follow you.." The doctor in him kicking in, Michael looked over his precious

mate's body until he found her wounds, two gaping bullet holes in Selene's side. What

horrified the hybrid, was that they had already begun to regenerate over the bullets lodged

deeply in her immortal flesh. Selene's body hitched slightly, as Michael quickly checked her

pulse. It was coming in weak and thready. He had to work fast or he would lose his mate.

The hybrid took the silver knife out of Selene's long leather jacket that she always carried in

case her weapons got lost in battle, careful not to jar her battered body. Michael made an

incision in his beloved mate's side where the two bullet holes were, then used the tip of the long

knife to dig the bullets out, his heart wrenching as Selene grimaced and hissed darkly in pain in

her unconscious Vampiric slumber. He pulled out the first one carefully, along with chunks of

vital tissue. It was razor sharp at the edge, to insure Lycans could not dig them out, if so it

would pull out chunks of tissue with it, like it was doing so painfully now with Selene.

Insuring more harm to the victim. Selene had shown him these not too long ago, they were

new next to the fluidic silver bullets the Vampires came up with to the combat the UV bullets

the Lycans began to use. Michael had to burrow a little deeper, to get the last one out, it had

burrowed even farther in than the other one. Michael had to pull harder to get it out, tears

flowing out of his quicksilver eyes at having to hurt his mate. Fresh blood began to ooze out of

her side where he had pulled the deadly, silver barbs out. Michael tearfully slammed the bullets

into the wall, turning them to little shards instantly. Cursing the Vampire bastards that had

shot his beloved mate. With the bullets out, the hybrid breathed a bit easier, noticing Selene's

beautiful ivory face no longer contorted with pain and her breaths came a little easier.

Michael knew Selene was in dire need of blood, as he tore his shirt, pulling strips of the

material off and tying off the deadly wounds in his beloved's side. Praying all the while to

whatever dark god would answer his anguished immortal soul to let his mate live, for if

Selene were to die he would surely follow her. Taking the knife, he slit his wrist, tilting the

Vampiress's head up, Michael held his bleeding wrist to her mouth, letting the rich red plasma

flow into Selene's open mouth, past her beautiful fangs, giving her much needed life blood.

The unconscious Vampiress was unresponsive to anything for a few painful moments..

Michael let it drip down her throat for a good five minutes. "Come on baby drink, come back to

me.." The hybrid pleaded. Selene's lovely, blood stained ashen face began to return slowly to

its normal alabaster color. Michael became slightly winded from his blood loss, but the hybrid

did not care. As long as his mate was healing, coming back to him from the dark, shadowy

abyss of death, Michael would bleed forever just to see Selene alive and healthy once more. A

few minutes later, Michael noticed her eyes open weakly, flashing their Vampiric hue of pale

electrum blue. Selene roused slightly as Michael removed his wrist tying it off with a strip of

his torn shirt, feeling slightly lightheaded. The hybrid smiled softly down at his mate, brushing a

kiss to her forehead, whispering, "My angel, you have returned to me.." The Vampiress

pushed herself up, still suffering from heavy blood loss, but Michael's blood pumped through her

veins, giving her new strength. Selene was pulled into the safety of her mate's arms. Relief

washed over the female Vampire at the sight of her mate safe, but she quelled it, ashamed of

showing such weakness. Selene still had a hard time dealing with the volatile emotions her

mate brought out in her sometimes. He filled a place in her heart that was once filled with ice,

thanks to Viktor.. Selene scowled inwardly at the thought of her traitorous sire, but she still

loved him, always would.. But he had crushed her trust and loyalty for him when she found

out the truth.. Michael brushed a strand of silky ink black hair out of his beloved mate's face.

Selene smiled in spite of herself. The hybrid said barely above a whisper to his mate, "Please

don't ever do that to me again my love." Selene blinked heavily, still very weak from a

combination of lack of blood, her injuries, and having not fed in three days. Then the tough

former Death Dealer slumped forward in Michael's powerful arms, falling into a healing

sleep, to regenerate, exhausted from her long ordeal. After fumbling with it for a few minutes,

the hybrid zipped Selene's leather suit back up and put her thick leather corset back on, and

Michael stood up, cradling his mate to his naked chest, he opened the door quickly and ran

through the darkness, racing against the sun which would rise in a less than two hours. Taking

dark alleys and going through sewers to avoid detection, till he finally reached his apartment.

Walking up to the door, he opened it and went in, carrying his precious Selene close. All

thought of their previous argument gone as they were swiftly replaced by relief of having his

mate back.
