Gone
Author's note: Hrm, not sure about the last chapter, I was trying to portray Selene's character and personality so it seemed fine to me at the time. As for Kahn...well, leathers on a woman who is aboard a ship in the late 1800's might attract some unwanted attention for the vampires.
Sorry, I've been working on honors projects recently so it's hard to find time for writing. Thank you for your reviews, please keep reviewing.
See chapter one for disclaimers.
His hair was now behind his back, tangled up with bits of straw and in his black silk garments he looked very out of place next to the cattle, luminescent lightings and hay. He was clearly staring at me, at my lack of garments, missing my eyes completely.
"How nice of you to pay the lower class humans a visit." Kraven said, standing up and probably smelling the human stench on me that was left on my clothes from being in the hallways.
"I must say, I just adore your new quarters, quite fitting actually. A sty for a pig such as yourself." I said, smiling, he turned away to stare at the cow beside him.
"Keep it up Selene, I am beginning to understand your psychology. It is quite simple." He said, now looking me in the eyes. If he understands me he would leave me alone at the very least.
"You are defying Viktor's orders, Kraven." I say to him, trying to get the subject off of me.
"He shall be asleep for the next two hundred years, until then...it is just you and I." Kraven says, his voice dripping with lust and desire towards me.
"There are plenty of overdone whores that would kill to get to you..."
"Some of them have", he says, interrupting me, "But you my dear, you shine like sparkling diamond against the rough. Be mine, and I shall give you everything you have ever desired." He told me, standing and touching my face. I slap his hand away, lightly yet firm enough for him to get the point of the gesture.
"Extermination all lycans that have ever graced the earth?" I asked politely.
"In time that will happen Selene, leave it to the others and join with me. It is quite unbefitting of an aristocrat like I to have his queen toying with her little guns and shooting down lycans."
"Lovely offer, Kraven, but no thank you. I must be on my way." I said, leaving and closing the door behind me.
The slime that dripped off his voice was enough to make any one want to shower, between that and the stench of the cattle that was left on Acelin's cloak. I might be a bit aggressive but I have a sense of courtesy. Unlike some vampires, I remember walking back towards the upstairs. I plan on just airing it out by sitting on the deck for a few hours, avoiding the rest of the coven, and then waiting for our docking. Which should be a day or two.
When I got half-way up the stairs there was the man with the hideous toupee again. Staring down at me and snarling.
"Excuse me, I have to get back to first class." I told him, he still glared and now smirked.
"Your husband is in third class, you are no better then he is. Stay down there." He said, I am now quite angry at being called such.
"It was the wrong man, I apologize for that and for taking your wig. I was in rather quite a rush to make sure he was alright." I said, once again the hint of politeness once in my voice was being strained.
"Where is he now?" The other man asked me.
"Getting our belongings. Excuse me now." I said and shoved a key into the lock, it would not budge. I tried another, and another, and another. The men smiling at me.
"Let me out now." I told them sternly.
"Sorry, Lady." The man with the toupee said.
"I shall not repeat myself, open this gate or I shall open it from here myself." I said, meaning it and trying to keep my anger to a minimum, my eyes becoming glacier blue.
"I'd like to see a lass like you try." He said, laughing with the other man. Now I am angry. I tore the lock open from the small hinges and pulled the grate open. The men backed up, eyes wide with fear.
"You're—you're not human! Stay back! Stay back!" One yelled, running down the hall. The other took out a gun. I ran down the hall to get the other man and silence him. The other kept chasing me, throughout the halls and corridors, shooting occasionally and hitting my trailing cloak. I was only armed with a knife though, so it was not much use.
And then it hit me. The bullet pierced my right shoulder and I yelped, turned around and got the man with the toupee by the neck.
"You aren't human, lassie. What the hell are you?" He asked, my eyes blue and shining. I took him by his collar and went up to the top of the deck. I slammed his head against the metal poll at the top of the stairs and locked him in a cabinet on deck.
I could smell the other man still running. But I was fast. I went to the deserted area of the corridor and ran to catch him in a few moments time. Most people were in the dining halls so it was pretty empty. I stabbed him in the back and dragged him above deck. He still struggled and was yelling, attracting attention. I would have to kill him since he obviously was too loud and put us at risk, us being the vampires, Kraven and all.
"May you be damned to the underworld!" He said, shouting at me and trying to spit in my face. I slapped him hard and went to the deserted area of the lower promenade on the second class level. Quickly, I threw him over, his head banging on the edge of the ship and I walked away. Suddenly, I slipped on something under my feet. It was a boarding pass, from his pocket I suppose. Curiosity got hold of me and I opened it up to see four people's names. Including a mother, a wife and a child. I suppose that now I am a real killer, all traces of humanity have now been expelled.
