Selene looked at the figure in the shadows. It was big and muscular, like a lycan almost.
" Selene!" it growled.
Selene looked puzzled. What was a lycan doing talking to her? Michael on the other hand felt a growl start at the back of his throat. This lycan could have been threatening Selene and he wasn't about to let any harm come to her.
" Don't worry, it's just me Selene." the lycan growled again. It held out its arm and turned it over so Selene could see the bottom of it. There was a raven flying over the moon.
" Oh my god," Selene looked in surprise, " Ravyn?"
The lycan nodded. Michael looked at Selene questioningly.
" Ravyn what happened to you?" Selene said looking at all the scars on the lycan.
" I'll tell ya later, now we need to go." Ravyn growled.
" How do we know we can trust you?" Michael questioned.
" You don't." Ravyn replied honestly.
" That's good enough for me." Selene said as she started walking away
.
" Where are we going?" Michael asked.
" The hideout. It is where we vampires go when we are on the run from the lycans. But Kraven put it out of use 15 years ago because no one ever went that far away from the mansion except me, but I was never on the run." Selene explained.
" Just keep on bragging," Ravyn exclaimed.
Michael was confused. Who was this lycan? Selene was defensive against all lycans accept this one. Why?
Selene shot Ravyn an exasperated look.
" What?" Ravyn asked.
Selene fought back a smile. How could she smile at a time like this? She hadn't smiled in such a long time. It must have been over 150 centuries that she last smiled.
Michael wasn't sure how long it was they'd been walking. Or silent for that matter. He wasn't exactly sure if he could trust this lycan, but if Selene thought it could be trusted then he guessed he could too.
They were in the woods now. It was about and hour till the sun rose. Selene fell asleep and was now in Michaels arms. Ravyn was leading the way.
" Are we almost there?" Michael asked looking at the sleeping vampyre in his arms. Just another hour or so and all he would be holding was ashes in his hands.
" Actually we are there." Ravyn said pointing down to the ground. The leaves were aligned in an odd matter.
" But that's just the ground" Michael stated.
" To the untrained eye maybe" Ravyn said as she leaned down and pulled up a string.
Ravyn pulled on the string and a hatch door opened.
" I knew that." Michael said as he peered into the darkness below.
" Go on. Jump!" Ravyn said to him as she began to see the beginnings of a sunrise.
Michael only stared at the lycan who was looking past him to the widening sunrise.
" How far is it to the ground?" Michael asked.
A beam of light came and lit Ravyn's face up.
" Who cares? You'll land on your feet just go!" Ravyn yelled as she pushed Michael into the dark oblivion.
Ravyn was right. Michael did land on his feet but he almost dropped Selene.
" What was that for?!" Michael yelled.
A spot of sunshine lit up where Michael had just been standing. It came down the hole and lit up one wall.
" To save Selene!" Ravyn yelled right back at him after she jumped down into the hole.
Michael looked down to his beloved Selene who was still in his arms.
" How do we know you can be trusted?" He asked again as he had previously.
" I already told you, you don't!" Ravyn said as she went to close the door. As she did the room became dark again.
Ravyn had been here before so she easily had found the light switch. Neon lights flickered to life as the circuit was connected. After the lights recovered their energy and shined brightly Ravyn looked around to see Selene sitting against a wall. She quickly turned around to see Michael in lycan form standing behind her. He threw Ravyn who was still in her lycan form over to the opposite wall.
" Lets see if you can really be trusted…"
