Immortal

II. Fraxini ad Fraxinos

"Selene!" Michael came running. Strange, she thought. I never noticed how possessive he was. Since her encounter with Viktor, all her love for Michael seemed to have evaporated. Now, all she saw was a recently-human annoyance.
"Go away! Not now," she said.
"But—"
"I said go away! I don't have time for you!" Infuriated, she turned her face to the wall. So it was that she missed Michael's sob of confusion, as he walked away from the bed she had been recuperating in.
Soon, there would be questions. Everyone knew that she had escaped with Michael, running from the anger of the covens. Now, she had been found lying where Viktor's body had been, with no sign of Viktor, and dried blood on her wrist. There was only one viable conclusion; Viktor was arisen, and, once again, it was Selene's fault.

After to days in bed, Selene was ready to resume her life. Since she had seen Michael, there was no hope of there ever again being love between them. She did not want to be forever alone: the Lycans were her only choice.
As she realised this, the same young Lycan who had found her entered her room.

"Hello!" she said, with irritating brightness which clawed its way into Selene's headache. "My name is Areye."
"Selene."
"I know — you killed Victor, ran off with Michael, blah blah blah."
"Blah blah blah?"
"Human expression", Areye replied, a little embarrassed. Selene rolled her mental eyes.
"Who are you anyway?"
"I'm the new Lycan leader. Lucian (may he ever rest peacefully) appointed me in the event of his death." Oh god, thought Selene, she reminds me of Erika. She even looks like her. Blonde hair, big blue eyes.
"I have something to show you,"continued Areye, oblivious to Selene's moody silence. Leading the disgruntled vampire by the hand, Areye chattered on, until the mismatched pair reached a dark chamber, guarded by a formidable security system. Inside, there was a lone table, with a single ornate bottle upon it.
"Sonja's ashes," whispered Areye reverentially. "All that was left of her after Viktor killed her. What I mean is.. well.. .you regenerated Viktor, and, well, she was also a vampire and..."
"You want me to bring her back."
