Here lies the second part to "A new beginning to an old battle". Enjoy. Please R&R. I appreciate constructive criticism, but not flaming. Thanks! I AM IN NO WAY AFFLIATED WITH UNDERWORLD!!

Journeytothedarkside

It has now been a month after Michael and I became life partners. I just found out that I am pregnant...of course. I haven't told Michael yet. He's not even here, he went out to buy some stuff. He should be back in about an hour or so. I don't know what his reaction will be, happy, angry, sad, I have no idea. I would hope, of course, that he is happy. Finally, I have something worth living for in my life. The baby in my stomach will of course be half vampire, half lycan, like Michael is. I just hope that nothing ends up happening before the baby is born.

THE MANSION...

Erika strolled down the steps as she saw that the death dealers were coming back from the lycan den. 'I really hope that bitch died...' The big door opened and she stayed on the balcony where she could see everyone. She looked hard into the group. The only three that she was looking for, of course were Selene, Kraven, and the Lord Viktor. She ran down the steps after realizing that neither of them had come in. A smirk filled her lips. Finally that bitch dies. Finally, I can have Kraven all to myself. FINALLY...it's about time.

"Sian, may I speak to you please?" Erika said as she walked to him. Sian nodded and took her aside.

"My Lady Erika, what is on your mind?" Sian questioned.

"I was observing all the Death Dealers that came back, and it came to my attention that Selene, the Lord Viktor, and Kraven were not among the group to come back...what has happened?"

"My Lady Erika. Lord Viktor has been slain," Sian began. Erika was taken back from this, yet happy. Now the Lord Kraven would take his place, and now that Selene was gone, Erika would be at his side...hopefully at least.

"Lord Viktor....dead....slain? What of Selene?" Erika asked.

"That's the disturbing part. Lord Viktor wasn't slain by the lycans...he was slain by Selene..." Sian said. 'Selene was after that damn Michael again...' Erika thought to herself.

"Was she chasing that Michael guy? Is she still alive...I didn't see her among the rest of the Death Dealers?" Erika wondered if she had died after slaying her beloved Dark Father. She couldn't believe that Selene had killed her Dark Father.

"Yes. She was after Michael, and yes, she is still alive," Sian said, "She is now with the lycans."

"Where is the Lord Kraven?" Erika was dying to know.

"Kraven was in a plot with Lucian. One that killed the council...I don't know where he is..." Sian answered.

"Yes, yes, I know. Viktor must have found out, and sought for Kraven to be killed then?"

"Yes, my lady Erika. I must get going, we will talk later."

Erika realized that she and Viktor left the room where the elders sleep not to long ago...the door must have still been open.

"Sian...before you go...the elders resting chamber is still open...we must go close it," Erika said.

"Ahhh...yes. We must. Let's go then." Sian said. So, Erika and Sian walked to the elder's resting chamber. What they saw there was not what they expected.

"What the..." Erika was taken back from what she saw. A dead lycan, his blood spilling into Marcus' coffin.

"Oh...well, that's not good...not good at all. We must remove this body at once. Marcus...after all...will be waking up..."

THE APARTMENT

'Michael is finally home!' I thought to myself. I still had my immaculate senses of a death dealer. I ran to the door and opened it.

"Selene...well hello. How are you?" Michael asked, smiling.

"Great...I have really good news for you Michael. I found out today that I am pregnant!" I said.

"WHAT?? Oh my god!" Michael said, dropping all the groceries, "Well shit...wow, that is really good news!"

"Michael, it is, but it is also bad news. I can feel that there is going to be a war, I just hope it's not before the baby is born..." I said as I rubbed my stomach. Michael then came towards me, and gave me a hug.

"Selene, don't worry, the baby will be fine. Besides, it's been nearly three months, and we haven't heard anything...have we?" I nodded, but I still knew that something bad was going to happen.

BACK AT THE MANSION

"What will happen next?" Erika asked. It was about three months after the slaying of Viktor happened. Kraven had come back and explained everything. He did not mean for Viktor to die, but he did want Amelia to die. Sian told him that he must await the awakening of Marcus for his punishment. Erika and Kraven were now "together", you could say. Erika told Kraven how she truly felt, and Kraven said he felt the same.

"My Lady Erika, Marcus will awake any day now. After he awakes, I assume that there will be a war. I don't exactly know if the vampires will be on his side, however, because he will be half vampire half lycan. The two covens are in disarray. It is still too early to decide what will happen." Sian said. Erika nodded, and Sian walked away. She wondered if the vampires would still believe in Kraven enough to let him be their leader...but as Sian said, it was too early to decide how anyone would react.

"Only time will tell..." Erika told herself and walked upstairs.

BACK AT THE APARTMENT

I paced in the hallway, wondering what would happen next. I knew what I had to do, I just didn't know if Michael would do it.

"Michael...we have to talk to the Lycans..." I stated. Michael looked up at me, dumbfounded.

"Uh...why exactly?"

"We have to prepare for war, you are the leader that they need." I said, "Let's go..."

Michael nodded. He couldn't believe what Selene wanted to do. He still didn't understand the whole thing, but he was getting there.

At the Den....

Michael and I made our way through the door leading to the Lycan den. Lycans looked at them, and didn't know for sure why they were there. Michael stood firmly.

"I need to talk to you all!" Michael yelled as he stood at the very place where Viktor died, "Selene and I killed a very powerful vampire three months ago, and another vampire killed your leader. I am here to ask to become your leader, to lead in this fight."

Michael stood his ground firmly, looking around at all the lycans. They looked like regular humans, but of course they weren't. One came forward.

"My Lord Michael, we were waiting for you. It was you who Lucian wanted. It was you he was after. Therefore, you are the only real candidate for alpha. Welcome." He bowed, and walked away.

As you can see, a war is now being planned. Marcus is to awake soon, and as soon as he awakes, the vampires will know whether he is the leader, or if Kraven will become the leader. Selene is pregnant with Michael's baby. Neither coven knows for sure what will actually happen. Only time will tell...and so this story will continue.

Hello again:) this is the second part to "The new beginning to an Old Battle" Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed. As I have said before, I appreciate constructive criticism, but no flaming criticism. Look for the third part soon. It will have the awakening of Marcus, and the planning of the war.

Thanks:)
