Michael surveyed the area. Sniffing the air he let out a growl. The sound of glass shattering and guns firing could be heard within the gates as the war raged on.

These vampires weren't trained to fight; most of them were easily slaughtered as the lycans charged in. Michael followed her scent; still in his human form her scent was intoxicating.

He passed screaming vampires along the way not giving them a second glance as he ran through the almost deserted halls of the huge castle.

The smell of her blood made his temper rise pulled a large door opening. The hinges almost breaking as it slammed against the wall.

It didn't take long for him to notice that she was no longer in the room. Her scent simply disappeared and there was no indication that she had left the room at all.

But there was something. He smelled the power, the blood of Vincent. In fact as he walked more into the room he could still see a small puddle of the blue acid like blood.

His head turned quickly as he smelt her blood. There were only a few drops lying on the ground. Not like the giant puddle behind him, but it was just enough for him to know what took place, and enough for him to get even angrier than he already was.

The sound of a gun made him spin and around and move his head to the side as a bullet flew past where his head had been moments before.

A girl with brown hair stood with her shoulders squared and both of her hands on the gun ready to pull the trigger once again. Michael sniffed; she wasn't a vampire, nor was she a lycan.

He refrained his beast from coming out as it was already angry enough to. "Where is she?" He asked his voice deep almost a growl.

"Don't move or I'll shoot." She told him her voice shaky. Within seconds Michael had dropped his coat to the floor and changed into his hybrid form. He could no longer control his instinct. His eyes a pure black and his skin now bluish-silver.

He opened his mouth showing his long fangs and let out a roar. The girl jumped back; surprise clearly etched into her eyes.

"Where is she?" He asked again his breathing coming in ragged puffs.

"I don't know." She answered still pointing the gun at him, "Marcus took her not long before you left."

He tilted his head and looked at the ground. "Drop your weapon." He commanded as he didn't want to hurt her, but he wasn't sure about what she wanted to do.

"Are you fucking crazy? I can't trust you." She told him staring at him with wide eyes.

"I'm not here to cause you harm."

"Then why are you slaughtering all of them?"

"Why are you here?"

"I don't have to answer that!" She yelled at him pulling the trigger as he turned his head towards her with his fangs glinting off the light the small torch in the corner of the room illuminated.

He dodged the bullet with ease as he moved to her and pulled the gun from her grasp and threw it across the room. She fell back against the wall in surprise.

"I'm not here to hurt you, I'm just here to save her." He said his voice in a whisper as he slowly changed back to his human form of Michael. He still took in deep breaths as he closed his eyes.

Haley looked at him. "You're just wasting your time here. Marcus was heading somewhere else."

Michael looked at her, "You're not a vampire or lycan. Why are you here?"

"Because, my mother...was here." She said with sadness in her voice, "She died a few minutes ago."

"I-" Michael started. He had killed this girl's mother. Well, it wasn't actually him, but a lycan had killed her.

"It's fine. It was all bound to happen sometime. Her luck just ran out like it should have a long time ago." Haley told him.

"Do you know where Marcus took her?"

"No, somewhere west of here is all I know. He also took Vincent."

Michael nodded, "Come with me, you'll be safe."

Haley looked a bit reluctant as Michael headed towards the door, "You know, I was planning on being a doctor too."

She gave him a small smile and fixed her bag that hung from her shoulder; holding her supplies. It didn't take another minute for her to follow him out of the door.

Michael hurried down the hall but before he could make it to the main room he was slammed up against the wall. Knocking the wind out of him.

He met a pair of blue icy eyes and pearly white fangs. "Leave 'er alone!" He hissed.

Haley came around the corner at that moment, "Charles, no!" She told him trying to pull his arm off of Michael.

Michael pushed the vampire off himself when he realized what was happening. He wanted to attack him but the look Haley gave him made him stop.

"Miss 'aley. 'e is the leader o' the lycans." Charles said trying to get back at Michael.

"He isn't here to harm us." She told him pushing him back.

"They killed yur mum, 'aley."

"I know, but it was on orders, she gave up willingly, she was mom. They didn't mean it intentionally. They're just angry and trying to get revenge you might have killed someone else's mom before too Charles."

"I have to get Selene." Michael said taking off down the hall.

"Trust me on this. I know what we have to do now. We have purpose." She told him smiling. He sighed as his eyes changed back to their normal deep green.

"I 'ad a purpose."

"Well, now you've got another one." Haley also ran down the hall following the path Michael had taken.

Michael stood next to Lydia, "Marcus has left with her."

"What?" She asked alarmed. Drake heard her from across the room and jumped over the banister landing on the ground in front of her.

"Huh?" Drake asked.

"Selene isn't here, neither is Marcus."

"Or Vincent." Michael added.

"So this is just merely wasting time." Lydia told him.

"Seems so."

"We need to pull back." Drake said jumping back up onto the top floor and letting out a howl.

The other lycans around the area tilted their heads up and howled as well. Hearing his call. Michael couldn't help but answer to the call himself and let out a howl himself. It though, didn't sound like the harmless howls or responses as they did.

He glanced at Lydia to see her rolling her eyes. She must have been used to this by now, and growing tired of it.

They stopped and almost immediately started towards the exits. Vampires who had given up sat confused and scared, for a lack of a better term, shitless.

Drake had called them off told them to leave and go back to the den. Of course they had no idea of what was going on. It was all said in a howl.

Drake narrowed his eyes behind Michael, "Hey!" He yelled.

Michael spun around to find Haley standing there looking surprised. He rolled his eyes, "Drake."

"What, there is a vampire standing right in front of you."

"She is not a vampire Drake." He said facing him.

Drake scrunched up his face and once again jumped over the banister this time landing by Haley, "But she smells..."

"Thanks for the comment." Haley said sarcastically, "You don't smell to good yourself."

"Not that." He snapped at her, "You just smell like a vampire. Are your sure she isn't Michael?"

"Positive." Michael replied.
"Odd." Was all Drake said moving to stand next to Lydia, but not taking his gaze off the man that stood a foot behind the girl a glare in his icy blue eyes, "But he is." He said pointing.

"He is my...bodyguard of sorts." The girl replied giving him a glare, "He has been with me my whole life."

"However, he is still a vampire."

Michael sighed and glanced at Luke who walked up, "Drake, drop the subject. We can't waste our time here."

Drake nodded and started towards the door, "Let's borrow some of their shiny cars!"

Luke sighed as well, "We will find her." He told Michael as he walked out of the mutilated room and outside following Drake.

Lydia gave him a sympathetic look, "Haley and...Charles shall come with us." He said after trying to remember the vampire's name.

She nodded and walked over to Haley after whispering something in her ear, she took Haley and grabbed Charles' arm; heading out of the door. She seemed happier to have another one of her kind accompanying them to where ever they were headed.

He gave what remained of the vampires an apologetic look as he started to leave; blonde hair stopped him however and he turned his head to see the same vampire that had scared him into jumping out of a window.

He glared at her and she stepped back; fear shown in her eyes.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"To save Selene."

"Don't you think it's a little late for that?" She asked him narrowing her eyes.

He looked at her, already annoyed that she was holding him up, he didn't want to argue.

"You'll never find her in time." She said smirking.

Michael, never the violent one mind you, grabbed her by the neck and held her above him, "Where is she?"

"I wouldn't tell you." She choked out.

"Would you rather me just kill you now then?" He said anger burning in his blue orbs.

She didn't move merely strangled to get out of his grasp.

"You're coming with us." He told her dropping her to the ground and pulling her out of the almost completely destroyed castle.

Outside was a van. Drake was dancing on top of it while Luke sat in the driver's seat and Lydia was conversing with Haley and Charles beside the door.

Drake jumped down when Michael shoved Erika forward, "I think she knows where Marcus took Selene." Michael informed them.

Drake nodded and pulled out a pair of handcuffs grinning, "I've always wanted to be like a cop. To bad Pierce and Taylor got to do it first."

He locked them and helped Michael put her in the back of the van; which had enough room to sit a dozen people.

As soon as that was done, Michael took a seat next to Luke up front and Drake sat by Lydia who sat by Haley; Charles sat on the other side of her.

Erika was sitting across from all of them staring at them blankly.

Drake rolled his eyes, "Where did he go?"

"I will not tell you."

"Yes you will Erika." Haley demanded.

"Who gave you power you mortal." She glared, spitting the name mortal as if it burned her tongue.

"That's enough." Lydia said her fangs showing up in the dark van as it pulled past the gates, "You will tell us one way or the other."

Erika stared at her, scared at first, but her ego shone through in the end, "What are my choices?"

"Either you tell us, or I go into your mind and take the information myself."

"You can't, it's not possible."

"I am an elder dear, anything is possible."

Drake smirked at her, 'Now who's ego is big?' He asked in his mind concentrating on her.

He saw the corner of her lips twitch and he grinned.

"He was going to the house where Selene was turned. Where her family was slaughtered."

"How does he know of the place?" Lydia asked.

"Viktor kept it protected for Selene, incase one day she would choose to return. It was kept clean and repairs were made to it monthly."

"I know where it is." She yelled at Michael.

He nodded, "Tell us."

Luke pressed on the gas and the tires squealed as they sped off listening to Lydia's directions as they went.

William cracked open his eyes, his head pounding with pain. He could tell he hadn't been out that long for the moon still hung brightly above him.
He tried to sit up but his head hurt too much to move. These things always happened to him. He was lying almost in the middle of the road and it was a miracle that no one had hit him.

His eyes became heavy once again and his head rolled to the side. His lips parted and he fainted from exhaustion.

Just missing the light that came around the corner of thick trees; stopping just before they ran him over.

Michael jumped out of the van; his instincts from being trained as a doctor kicking in. He kneeled beside him and checked for a pulse. It was there beating strong, just like he was sleep.

It was then he noticed who was lying on the ground before him, "William..." He sighed.

Drake came running up next to him, "Whoa!" He said stopping and looking at his fallen friend.

"Help me get him into the van." Drake only nodded. They lifted him and Lydia opened the back doors of the van so they could lay him in the floor. Drake took off his coat and covered him as he sat back down on the bench.

Haley glanced at Michael who only nodded. She quickly sat down beside him and pulled her bag off her shoulder. It wasn't long before she was patching up his wounds and cleaning up blood.

The car stopped outside of the old abandoned house. Marcus grinned while his flipped open his pocket watch before placing it back into his pocket.

He watched Selene and Vincent. Selene who looked terrified and Vincent who was scowling as he stared out of the tinted windows.

Marcus waited patiently for the door to open, drumming his fingers on his knee. The door opened and a large man stuck his upper body in. Grabbing both Selene and Vincent who couldn't put up much of a struggle in their weakened state.

He pulled them towards the house while Marcus stepped out of what was left of the limousine. It's roof torn and massive dents went up and down the vehicle. He looked at the driver. The young vampire adverted his gaze to the ground.

He was shaking. Glass was sticking out of his face and hands; from the impact of shattering glass when he had been thrown onto the windshield. After the initial shock, the young driver did as he was ordered and kept going.

Blood poured from his wounds and gashes were left where some glass had fallen out. Altogether the driver wouldn't last a second if put into battle. So he did the only thing he could do to put the young man out of his misery.

"You did good." He told him placing one hand on his shoulder and the other on his jaw, "Remember that." With a quick movement, he pulled his hands in opposite directions and only smiled when he heard the sickening sound of the bones cracking.

He had performed the task so quickly that he couldn't recognize fear within the vampire's eyes. This would have been a shame, to die in fear.

Scratching his head he sighed. He had to hide the body before Michael arrived. The scent of death would only make it more obvious that they were there.

Of course he had considered all of the alternatives already. Burning would only attract more attention than needed. You could see it from a few miles back on the road. It would only help them find the house and find Marcus.

He couldn't let his plans be foiled. He knew Lydia was with them and so was Drake. They both knew where this place was. By now, a vampire was to sure have slipped up with the secret. This was as planned. If he didn't want to be found, he wouldn't be.

Spotting a near by pond he picked the body up effortlessly and carried it. He tossed the body into the water. The splash barely reaching to the level of his knees as he watched the body float to the middle of the pond.

The smell would be mixed and more difficult to trace. Besides the pond was filled with scum, and gave off a nasty smell itself. Clapping his hands together the hybrid walked back to the house.

In truth, he had to give Viktor some credit. Having people keep this house and land up to date. Hiring people to clean it monthly; just for a girl he knew that would defy him just like his own daughter.

In his mind, Viktor probably was just trying to be a father again. Keeping this place for Selene. Incase one day, she would want to see it one more time and to unlock the memories she held in for so long. So she could finally move on.

Marcus never liked Viktor, but he had to believe that beyond the ice shell he had established, Viktor was just a man struggling with his duties to a coven, and to his duties as a father. He had never been a father himself, but he had seen it many times.

Giving up his thoughts Marcus focused on what he had to do now. Stepping inside the dark house he noticed Selene sitting on an old wooden chair and Vincent sitting beside her against the wall. She had tears running down her face and sobs racked her body as she tried to silently cry.

Vincent watched her with a worried expression. His red eyes burning with anger when he saw Marcus walk into the room.

Marcus glanced at the vampire who stood by the window his gun in his hand. "Just a couple hours now." He said to all of them. Grinning as he checked his watch once again.

Haley watched as William slept silently before turning to Michael who had switched places with Lydia. "So he is a doctor as well?"

"Yeah," Michael replied looking at him, "The best doctor for immortals anyways. Knowing what he knows about vampires and lycans, I'm sure he could do the same with a human."

Haley nodded and looked back to William. "Does he transform often?" She asked.

"William doesn't transform at all." Drake answered glancing at her before looking back at Lydia.

"Yes he does." She answered glaring back at him.

Drake turned his head, "How would you know?" He snapped.

"Besides the fact that he is naked?" She asked scrunching her face up.
Drake blushed and exchanged a glance with Michael. "Other than that, his muscles are tense and not loose like they should be even after a fight. His skin is also stretched and more movable than it should be."

"How do you know that?" Drake asked.

"It pays to hang around Death Dealers sometimes." She replied looking back at William.

"Sorry for, uh, snapping at you." Drake told her glancing up to meet her gaze.

She only gave him a small laugh. He shrugged and looked back up at Lydia who was telling Luke something. Michael glanced at Haley, "So, did you...did you ever know Selene?"

Haley bit her lip and turned to him, "I met her a couple of times. She was never one for conversation though."

Michael nodded and clasped his hands together.

"She was always about the mission. Even when she came back injured she was ready to head back out there for revenge." Haley told him. "I remember once when I was younger, I had gotten lost and found myself outside her room. At the time I didn't know who she was, only heard stories from my mother and other vampires who talked about her when she wasn't around."

Haley paused and watched him as he looked up at her, "She opened her door and got down on her knees. She asked me where my mother was and I told her I didn't remember." Haley continued looking at nothing; her eyes glazed as she remembered something she had long forgot, "She took me to my mother, carried me all the way there. I had never felt so safe around any other vampire in my life, apart from my mother and Charles."

Michael smiled at her, "For someone who was described as someone cold and hateful, I thought she was the most caring woman I had ever met in my life. If I had been a vampire, I would have wanted to be just like her. I mean who wouldn't? She was strong, smart, beautiful, and everything I wished I was."

Drake snorted causing both of them to look at him, he raised his eyebrows, "You're forgetting deadly and fast. As long as we're telling stories about Selene I think I should tell one of mine." Almost everyone in the van sighed, well, except for Charles and William.

"I was hunting, you know, minding my own business. When suddenly I hear a gun shot. Me, being of sound mind," Luke snorted at this and Drake just glared at the back of his head, "Of course, ran as fast as I could. It seemed no matter how fast I went or which way I went, she was always one step behind me." Drake chuckled. "I turned around and she stopped her gun pointed at me, by that time we were both out of breath, and I will never forget what she said to me..."

They all looked at him, even Luke and Lydia who had been talking about which road to take stopped to listen, "Go to hell..." He finished grinned. "I did the only thing I could think of, and I jumped climbing up the side of the building and running away from her."

Luke laughed, "Yeah right, I remember that night, you came back with two bullet wounds. One in your leg, and the other in your arm."

"Hey, I never said she couldn't aim. She bloody chased me up the damn building." Drake shot back.

The van went silent after Michael laughed, memories of Selene filling his head. They turned onto a dirt driveway; hidden in the trees.

"We're here." Lydia told them as Luke continued to drive. All of them nodded, ready for whatever they were going to face.

As the sound of tires moving hit his ears, Marcus grinned, "Looks like we have some company."

He motioned for his guard who nodded silently and walked towards the door. After he stepped outside Marcus looked at Vincent and Selene. "He has arrived a bit earlier than I expected, but he is here. The hero has arrived."

Selene glared at the man while Vincent just rolled his eyes, "Someone's gonna get their ass kicked."

"We shall see, we shall see. Only one hour remains." He laughed grinning and pulling out a gun from underneath his coat.

The headlights flashed as the van pulled up, shinning into the windows. And gunshots were heard, along with shouts.

A/N: It's short, but I didn't feel like writing the ending on here. So...the next chapter, in case you haven't guessed is the end. Well, the end of this story anyways. I may put...two more chapters, just so you all can get the bigger picture of what is happening, and also so I can set up the sequel.

Anyways, I finally got my hands on the Underworld Extended Cut. Great by the way, if you haven't seen it you should. Some of the scenes that were missing were absolutely awesome. The cut scenes were funny as well. All in all, my mom made me turn it off and told me to stop watching it. Grin

I hoped you all liked this chapter, and hope I didn't leave you with too much of a cliffhanger. Just seems to happen every now and then. I'm gonna go work on the next chapter...see you all in the next chapter.
