Selene paced heatedly from one end of the expansive room to the other, her foot steps crunching the ancient marble as she did so. "It's Forbidden, Michael it was my main rule do I have many hmmmm?" she huffed stopping in the centre of the room then twisting around to face him, waiting for his reply.
"Selene this isn't about how many rules you put in place and which one is more important we're dealing with some ones life here" he cried exasperated from the arguing.
"You can't just go killing people at will Michael you of all should know the dire consequences!" she stepped forward minutely just to have a better view of his tree bark brown eyes just to see the real truth.
"And have you not killed once in your life, because it was what you were born to do because all your instinct is telling you yes?" he flung his arms about out of frustration, Selene his love wasn't even considering his argument, his side.
"No Michael I haven't" she retorted.
"That's utter bull shit Selene and you know it, I taste human blood on you every time I kiss you, I taste your first death kiss even though it may have been your last, you still, like Aaliyah took life" he calmly replied. Selene's perfect mouth open to reply but found no words of defense or truth, whimpering she turned from her mate to face the large glass stained window. The face of Christ stared mournfully back at her.
"It makes no odds to me what you think Michael, I am the leader here it is my chose, she dies" stiffly almost elegantly she exited the room leaving a pained and gob smacked Michael behind.
Selene thundered down the Corridor, the Vampire girl was never one of Selene's favourites, she reminded her too much of the weasel Erika. But still the impending murder almost made Selene falter at each step. Foot steps resounded behind the slick figure of Selene she heard them before they made a sound and swiveled angrily to the half changed frame of Michael. She let out a small hiss of agitation. "Michael don't do this, Law of the jungle I am the boss I make the rules" she begged him to under stand her situation, did he not realize if this was exposed Marcus could find her almost instantly, did he not realize the danger if this vampiress lived.
"Selene don't make me do this, please I love you, don't make me fight you" he in his turn begged her. Sadly she shook her head, if she backed down now he would always think he could win, it was selfish her motives but it was what she felt.
"Michael leave me now or it will end with me forcing you"
"No selene, it will end with me stopping you." In seconds, he had turned and his handsome face was still handsome but in a more sinister and unearthly way. Selene's long fangs elongated and her fingers flexed in anticipation. Both arched their feet and leapt from the ground. In seconds the clashed; and it was like a comet hitting the earth. Pictures swung and fell from their hooks, china thousands of years old chinked and plummeted onto the ground, tables chairs and doors creaked and groaned, the floor sprouted gruesome deep cracks that sent chunks of marble flying though the air.
Aaliyah and Dorian sat bolt up, ears bleeding from the harsh noise erupting from what seemed like every where. All vampire and hybrids ran from their room into the common room expecting to see Aaliyah and Dorian fighting to the death, but found both screaming and wailing at the noise. A girl vampire a few mortal years younger then Aaliyah covered her ears until her knuckles became numb. She sat awkwardly down beside Aaliyah brow furrowed in question, Aaliyah shook her head to answer the girls silent question.
Selene flipped the large body off her bowing ribs, he smashed into a large oak door which buckled but stayed sturdy. Blood gushed from her forehead and left upper arm, Michael's torso dribbled with his blood and maybe a bit of her own. He growled then leaped back at Selene trying not to hurt her but to restrain her, but she came back with such force and aggression that it was very difficult. Her long thick nails dug painfully into the fleshy area of the cheek making him roar. He retaliated by grabbing her thick neck and squeezing like a snake until her eyes almost bulged from their sockets and she gagged and coughed crying his name. But Michael was now beyond reach his animal instinct had nearly taken over. This feeling had only occurred once before in Michael's immortal life, it had been the first time that the hybrid in him stirred the first time he was truly taken over by the prehistoric animal lusting to kill and to eat. Michael could hear her scream, feel her warm blood flowing feeling into his clenched fingers, savored the smell and cold caress of her supple neck, heaving and faltering as each breath became weaker and more drawn. She battered at his hands kicked at his large shins to no avail. With her last breath she screamed his name "Michael!" time for an instant stood still.
The vampire and hybrids erupted from their room to witness the horrific scene. A large hybrid male by the name of Aaron ushered the younger children into spare rooms were they would be slightly more safe from the horrendous scene. "Michael, Stop!" he blared trying to grab the mans attention he waved his long slightly blackened arms around. Aaliyah and Dorian stood calmly at the arch of the door way arms crossed smirking happily at their victory.
"Die" Aaliyah whispered with clenched teeth gripping painfully the arm of her mate.
Michael's eyes for a small flicker of a moment became coherent, the horror of his actions splashed over his face. Then the animal urge washed over him like a fresh wave of nausea. His body was fighting with itself and the intense pressure made him almost scream in frustration. Selene was nearly gone form this world and she mourned at the thought, 'no I won't die' she thought she begged herself to stay awake to have the will to survive. Michael's body finally gave in and damn near imploded, he cried her name in bitter heart ache as Selene's beautiful eyes fluttered shut, and she became near limp.
"Selene!" he lifted her up above his bowing head and a flash of animal instinct rocketed through him; he chucked her limp pale form out the large glass window. She fell and tumbled and her body in some element forced herself to comprehend the danger, it did not. Michael in full human conscience galloped to the window letting his hands fall heavily on the jagged glass. He screamed and roared her name, and was about to leap after her but the strong Aaron held him sadly back shaking his head. Before Selene hit the ground her eyes split open and she let out the third and final scream of the night.
