Selene walked down the plush, dimly lit hallway. The Vampiress stopped when she saw a

picture of a certain Death Dealer.. Rigel…… A pang of sadness struck the young

Vampiress's immortal heart swiftly. The female Vampire lifted one of her hands to brush the

portrait of her dead best friend. Her memory flashed back to that night in the subway nearly

a week ago… She had seen him die right in front of her, his handsome Slavic Vampire

features being incinerated lightening fast by the Lycan's Ultraviolet rounds.. Selene shook her

head violently, forcing the emotional pain away. Selene continued walking down the long

corridor. (So many things had happened in just so few days..) The Vampiress mused with a

very sad, but partially healing soul. Coming to the door, Selene opened it and strode through,

entering the vast training room and making her way across the huge room. Stepping up to

another rich, polished oak door, Selene turned the ivory handle, venturing into the

immaculate, dim hallway of the guest area, there were the guest quarters of visiting Death

Dealers. Quickly making her way down the hall, the young Vampire found the door she

desired and typed in the password at the keypad, the door twisted the hilt of the door opening

it, walking through into a rather sumptuous room, a bit spartan compared to her luxurious

chambers, but still quite decadent. Selene stepped into the dressing area, opening the heavy

red cherry wood armoire doors with ease, Selene pulled a few articles of clothes that looked

like they would fit her beloved mate. Selene smiled slightly at the thought of Michael. With

them in hand, Selene shut the armoire, walking out the door, locking the electronic lock with

her password after the beautiful Vampire shut the door.

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

Michael paced nervously, he hated it when his mate was away from him, even for a few

seconds. He was so fiercely protective pf Selene, to the point of ripping any male's throat out

that even came near his beloved angel. On that though the hybrid remembered them coming

to Halalhaz not even an hour ago.. On their way to a safer place for training, a few

people were out perusing the late night streets, mostly teens and people who

worked the graveyard hours. A male teenager, not more than about 17,

traversed too close apparently to Selene for his comfort and Michael growled

and was about to lunge for the boy, when his mate held him firm. The teen

went white in the face and tore down the street at the murderous glare in the

hybrid's black-turning eyes. Selene hissed to her mate, " We do not harm

innocents, no matter what. Consider that another lesson." Michael nodded, a

bit embarrassed at his savage actions.Michael's ears pricked, coming out of his

meditative state at hearing the sounds of his mate's footsteps and picking up her wonderfully

unique Vampiric scent. He smiled as Selene initiated the keypad, unlocking the door and

stepping through. Only to be wrapped in the arms of her hybrid mate, he kissed her pale

temple softly, inhaling her intoxicating scent. Selene melted into his arms, nipping his neck

passionately, eliciting a feral growl, arousing her mate further. Mournfully, Selene untangled

herself from her rather enamored mate, his deliciously musky scent, laced with the smell of

his arousal washing over her. Setting the clothes down on her Victorian style canopy bed,

complete with black curtains and silky midnight blue of her bed linens. Looking up at her

ebony wood bedside table, Selene saw a picture that sent a fresh wave of unabashed pain

through her raw Vampiric soul. It was a very old photo of herself and Viktor taken shortly

after her first mission as a Death Dealer… A single crimson tear trickled down Selene's

alabaster cheek.

This is my first story online that I have published so please be kind, but please Read and Review!!! Once again I want thank everybody who is reviewing, for their support. I really appreciate all the reviews, and please keep them coming. A bit longer this time my friends.. Just a few little filler chapters right now. A bit of settling in in Halalhaz. I wanted to delve a little into Selene and Michael's character. I will keep spitting out chapters as fast as I can. It is a little hectic with finals coming and I have three projects due simultaneously. Yes its true, after I finish this fic, there will be a sequel, I am working on as we speak, but you have to wait till I am finished with this one first. (Evil Laughs) More to come soon!

Thanx!
