Michael carried his mate out of the training room, back to her chambers. The hybrid, then set

Selene down at the wide doors to her suite at her bidding. The Vampiress numbly punched in

the pass code, letting the doors click, then Michael opened one door, holding it open for her.

Selene scowled, embarrassed at having broke down in front of Michael. The last thing her

and her mate needed was her blubbering like a little childish girl at the drop of the proverbial

hat, no matter how much pain she was in. But tonight they had reached a new level of

understanding for each other. Only enforcing their love between each other, no matter how

embarrassed the young Vampire became, one could not deny that at least. Michael could see

his mate in deep contemplation. Selene still loathed herself for her actions, but with Michael's

constant urges and pleadings, the immortal was trying to open her eyes for the possibility to

realize that maybe her love was right… Not yet ready to face Michael about her outburst, the

Vampiress walked to her armoire. Staring at it for no apparent reason, as if it was the most

important thing at the moment. Cautiously, her mate came over but kept a respectful distance,

knowing she needed to sort though her feelings and thoughts. Selene kept her leather-clad

back turned. She looked down at the cuts and bruises on her arms. (Can I ever be more

than just a dealer of death?) The raven haired Vampiress questioned in her thoughts.

Selene looked to the very old, black and white photograph of her dark father and herself. She

remembered when it was first taken and how she had promised to keep it close to her when he

first went into his long hibernation. Scowling at how happy and satisfied she looked even if she

was not smiling. Selene scowled again at the once good memories the object brought with it.

How could she have been so naive? The hybrid touched Selene's back softly, it went ram-

rod straight, "Selene it is ok to feel, do not be ashamed of tonight. I know you are hurting.

Just let it out. Don't shut it out anymore, that is how such things like you just experienced

occur sweetheart..." Selene went to the crystal framed photo on her night table and put it face

down, opening the nightstand's drawer and putting it in there. Blinking back the painful

memories shooting through her brain from doing so... Then she finally turned to meet her

mate's encouraging gaze. "Perhaps you are right my love." Touching his cheek lightly, the

young Vampire still felt so lost and a bit broken, but starting tonight, maybe she would have a

chance for redemption…

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. This chapter was a little bit longer, hope it was decent. Selene is finally on the true road to recovery. Almost through the fillers for now, so the bigger plot chapters are coming fast, especially with school ending in 2 days! (YAY!!!!) I wanted to delve a little into Selene and Michael's characters, I am trying very hard to keep them in sinc with who they actually are. I will keep spitting out chapters as fast as I can. It is a little hectic with finals coming. 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!
