Learning About the 'Dying' Lycan
Disclaimer: See chapter 1
After the battle between Viktor, Selene, and Michael, the two couple found a small little abandon apartment few hours ago. Michael was on the bed resting, after defeating a powerful elder; as for Selene, see stares out the window. Thinking how she broken the chain of the covenant, how she betrayed her kind, and now she is a traitor, an enemy to her kind; after helping a lycan and somewhat following in love with now a hybrid.
But another situation, still concerns her, is that 'dying' lycan she met, not too long ago. She wishes she knew the answers, but she don't, mainly because she isn't a lycan.
Michael opens his eyes and he looks into her. "Is something bothering you?"
No, she lied to herself. She turns to him and looks at him, the man, she sided with, and now she is a traitor to her kind and covenant. She wants to tell him; maybe he can help her, what she is trying to figure it out. Except Michael, hardly knows stuff about the lycans, beside he is a hybrid and knows what started the war between the vampires and lycans.
The hybrid can tell in her eyes something is bothering her; but she won't mention it. "Selene, if something is really bothering you, you should tell someone. You will feel better right after it," he said to her, hoping he convinced her to speak what is on her mind.
Fine... she looks at him. "It's not about the covenant and nor the vampires. It has to do with the lycans; I found something recently, something extraordinary in the lycan race. Besides what you really are. I found a 'dying' lycan; surprisingly lycans don't die, unless being shot by silver or silver nitrogen bullets. Except the lycan was even shot to begin with, when I found him, dying."
"How is that possible?" he questions the vampire.
"I was questioning myself, before I killed him, finally. I wished I didn't kill him, so I will learn more; but if my covenant found out, I spared a life of a lycan, they will exile me from the coven."
"Yeah, that's like vice versa to me," he adds in that part. He thinks for a few seconds, recollecting that event. "Selene." She looks at him, like he knows something. "When I was fighting Viktor, I got a strange scent, similar to mine, except it's not a hybrid, but it's a stronger scent than any other lycan."
"What does that mean?"
"Whatever the 'dying' lycan did, before it met you; it must have sired someone."
"Good, I will track down the newly turned. They are easy targets to begin with," she said quickly.
"Selene. I need to come too." She looks at him, like saying 'no' in body language. "Were not going to waste the newly turned or do anything to it." He gets off the bed, looking at her. "If Lucian was still alive, he might know the answers...."
"Fine, you can come; but we have to wait for nightfall, it's almost near dawn." She walks away, putting a board on a window, blocking out any sorts of sunlight. "Then, when night comes, we will look."
Two hours later, the van stops in the northern part of the city. Zerian opens the van door, escorting his female companion with him. Zerian looks at the injured and weak. "I'll get help."
Zerian goes over to a big brass door and he knocks on it. "I'm a lycan, open up." He waits for the lycans on the other side to open up.
"What's the password?" said a deep voice on the other side.
"Lycans are day and night beast."
What a cheesy password, Ashley thoughts to herself.
"Correct." He opens the door, seeing Zerian and a young woman. He grins and it fades as he sees several lycans coming out of the van bleeding. "What happened?" He looks at Zerian.
"Vampires," he said softly.
"Damn them!" The tall male looks back. "Guys, we need some help, vampires raided their dens!" He looks at Zerian, "Is Lucian alive?"
Ashley and Zerian remind quiet. The male lycan right away knows what happened to Lucian.
The male lycans goes over to the injured and weak, taking them inside the den. Ashley looks at the lycans are entering the den.
"Zokhan, I'm going to get clothing for my friend," said Zerian. "Also, when we return, I don't want your men or you hassling her." Zokhan nodded his head. "Thanks."
Ashley and Zerian heads to a local outfitting store. Zerian wants to make sure his female friend isn't bothered by the other lycans, especially that there are not too many female lycans around. And Zerian is starting to like her.
Ashley looks around and she sees the leather outfitting store she robbed from. "There's the store I went to earlier."
Zerian smiled, "Let's go, we need to make it fast, I'm getting a strong scent of vampires." He and Ashley run over to the store. He breaks the glass window and Ashley enters the store, grabbing a black leather boots, black leather pants, and a black long sleeve leather shirt. She quickly runs into the dressing room, changing into fresh pairs of clothing.
Ashley gets out of the dressing room and the store. She looks around and she can't see Zerian. "Zerian?" she calls for his name.
Silence.
In an alley, a vampire grabs him by the throat, aiming its gun, at his temple. The gun contains fresh loaded of silver nitrogen bullets.
Ashley walks around in her new outfit. She hears a 'plop' behind her. She turns around and sees a male, looking at her. "What you did with....Zerian?"
"So you're the newly turned. I didn't expect you being a girl," he smiles at her, but he doesn't want to get her nervous. "We won't hurt you."
"We?" she sounds a bit confused.
A female vampire walks out of alley, aiming the gun at Zerian's temple. She looks at the newly turned, surprisingly it's a girl. "We, especially me, want to know information about this 'dying' lycan and surprisingly it sired you, for what?"
"First let go of him!" she cried.
Selene doesn't let him go. Michael looks at her, nodding her to release the lycan. She lets go of the lycan.
Zerian runs over to Ashley and without realizing, she embraces him. The male lycan realizes that she likes him too. He smiles while the vampire lady is waiting for answers.
Ashley let's go of him. He nods at her, like tell her about the plan. She turns to the vampire, "I'm the next step to evolution and the lycan race hopes I'm the one to turn tables on the war."
Michael looks at the female lycan. "Next step to evolution?" he sounds a bit confused.
"She is a silver lycan," replied Zerian. "I'm trying to keep her safe from you bullocks!" He refers to the vampire, Selene.
"Wait, this kinda makes sense," said Selene. "I have a hybrid." Zerian looks at her odd. "Long story, he's half and half. And we have a lycan that is the next step to evolution. Thus means...." Her voice trails off.
"More to kill!" shouted Kraven and several vampires aided him. The Death Dealers aims the weapons at the lycans, the hybrid and even Selene. "Selene, how could you do this to the covenant!? Anyways, Marcus, when he wakes up won't be pleased." As he hops for it.
