Disclaimer: I do not own Underworld or their awesome characters.. Nuff said!!

Sorry it took so long to update my friends, putting three chapters out at one time, because they sound better that way, less confusing. I know I have gone slightly OOC for Selene, but I am taking into consideration all the living hell and all the shit it drug with it. That is why I have wrote her this way so far. I still hope you guys like it…. Day two for poor Michael. (Laughs) I want to thank everybody who has been reviewing, I am new to here and again this is my first online story. Big thanx goes to Lady K2, and again thanx goes to Lady Mage, she has been a great supporter. Both of these ladies have helped me come so far in my writing, encouraging yet criticizing me at the same time, helping me to do better. I thank both of you greatly! Thanx for all the reviews and keep them coming your support is greatly appreciated! You guys have been awesome! Hope you enjoy!

The next night Selene and Michael once again stood in the training hall, the hybrid could

already tell from his mate's rigid posture that today would be the same hell as yesterday.

"Since you are now moderately capable of controlling your change. We will move to

defensive combat. Now the first thing to learn when fighting, is how to block.. If you can

block your enemy, then you turn it around on him and attack. It takes twice the energy to

swing and miss then to hit them." Selene said to her mate as he stood in the main training

room. There were several training dummies situated around him. Selene walked up to one,

it was programmed to attack when approached. It sprung, and Selene feinted to one side and

rabbit-punched it. Stepping back quickly as it swung at her and she leapt up, grabbed onto it's

shoulders and flipped over the dummy's head, landing behind it and twisting it's neck swiftly.

Hard enough to hit the power-down mode, which was programmed to imitate an actual death

when struck fatally. It crumpled, and fell all in a few short seconds. Turning to the hybrid,

Selene put her hands on her slender hips and nodded to the dummy. "Do you understand

Michael?" "Yes, so what happens if you can't move, if you are cornered or trapped or

something?" Without warning, in one lighting quick motion, Selene grabbed him and flipped

him onto his back, hissing she said to him. "You turn their actions back on them . That is why

I am showing you this Michael." The Vampiress released her iron-tight grip on her mate's

wrist. Michael got back up on his feet, amazed at how quick she could disarm a target.

"Practice this Michael, it may save your life someday." The hybrid committed all this to

memory, smarting slightly from the Vampiress's actions. Selene and Michael continued

through the training session till almost dawn. Finally with sweat caked all over Michael,

Selene called practice for the morning and they both bedded down, drifting off to sleep in each

other's arms after a rigorous evening.

This is my first story online that I have published so please be kind, but please Read and Review!!! Once again I want to thank everybody who is reviewing, for their support. I really appreciate all the reviews, and please keep them coming. I am back on Selene and Michael for now, want to focus on them for the next few chapters. This one is a little shorter than the last chapter. Day two of hell for Michael.. And I decided to let the rarer side of Selene out in this one. Hope it was decent. At long last, Selene is finally on the true road to recovery. I am through the fillers for now, so for now the bigger plot chapters are coming fast, especially with school being over now!!!!! (YAY!!!!) I will keep spitting out chapters as fast as I can. Expect new chapters a lot faster now. Oh and on a final note, 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!
