" What the hell was that for?" Ravyn yelled after her back collided with the wall.
Michael still in his hybrid form walked over to her. " Just what I said. How do we know you can really be trusted?" He used his incredible hybrid strength to pick up the lady lycan by the throat and held her up against the wall.
Ravyn slashed him across the face and he let go of her.
" Geese talk about a protective boy friend!" Ravyn said as she fell to the ground and landed on her feet. " Selene doesn't have a problem trusting me! Why can't you follow her example like you followed her here!" Ravyn said walking past Michael.
That comment obviously offended Michael as he sunk to his feet, put his leg out, whirled around and kicked Ravyn's paws out from under her.
" God Damnit! You won't give up will you?" Ravyn yelled upon impact with the floor.
" No! I won't!" Michael yelled as Ravyn got back to her feet.
" I'm not going to fight you because I know when Selene see's us fighting like this she'll blame both of us! At least if I don't fight back you are going to be the one that is blamed. But there is a lot more to my power that your meager mortal mind can possibly understand!" Ravyn yelled.
" Hey! If you haven't noticed I'm not a mortal anymore!" Michael yelled back. As he knocked her down again.
" Yes I did notice but just because you look like one of us doesn't mean that you think like us! So don't start thinking that just because you look like a hybrid means we have to respect you as one! There is still so much about the underworld that you haven't even begun to understand! Don't go calling yourself the almighty hybrid that is our savor and peacemaker when you don't even know the basics! You're like a new born to us! We have to teach you everything! Not to mention, you stole my job!" Ravyn finished. She got to her feet and stared at Michael, breathing heavily.
Michael looked to the ground and changed back to his human form. He kept his gaze upward and didn't notice that Selene got to her feet.
" I heard the whole thing." She said silently. Both of them heard her though.
Ravyn, unlike Michael, kept Selene's penetrating gaze. Selene's eyes turned to ice blue. They seemed to pierce through Ravyn's non- existent soul, and Michael. But Ravyn's dark, cobalt eyes pierced right on back and it was Selene who ended up looking down.
Michael flashed back to when Lucian was talking to him while injecting the blood from Michael into himself. Michael compared Lucian's gaze to that of Ravyn's, from when she was yelling at him before. They were very much the same. And then he compared that same gaze of Ravyn's to Viktor's when he was holding Michael by the throat a couple hours earlier. Almost the same. The gaze of a leader. But what surprised him the most was how close Ravyn's and Lucian's gaze were the same.
" Why don't we all get some sleep and talk later?" Ravyn suggested.
" Sounds good to me." Selene agreed as she looked to Michael who simply nodded his head.
Ravyn walked off into a room and Selene followed. Michael followed them and found himself in a room with a bed, a dresser with a mirror, a desk and chair, and some cabinets.
" Okay, you two get the bed and I'll sleep on the couch in the library." Ravyn said as she walked off back down the hallway. It was obvious she was not in the mood to talk.
The bed was huge so Michael and Selene did not feel that uncomfortable with each other.
" I'm gonna go see if I can talk to Ravyn." Selene said.
" Can I come to see if she'll let me apologize? What happened before was my fault." Michael started. Selene looked to him. " I just got so mad. The things she said were so….." Michael took a long pause, " ……… they were so… true." He finally finished with a sigh.
He and Selene walked down the main hallway then into a different hallway. The got to a door and Michael and Selene heard Ravyn's voice, singing…
Here I go again
Slipping further away
Letting go again
Of what keeps me in place
I like it here
But it scares me to death
There is nothing here
The light is beautiful
But I'm darker than light
And you are wonderful
But this moment is mine
All of this dust
All of this past
All of this over and gone and never coming back
All of this forgotten
Not by me
I find comfort here
Cuz I know what is lost
Hope is always fear
For all the pain it may cost
And I have searched for a reason to go on
I've tried and I've tried
But it's taking me so long
I might be better off
Closing my eyes
And god will come looking for me
In time
All of this dust
All of this past
All of this over and gone and never coming back
All of this forgotten
Not by me
All of this dust
All of this past
All of this over and gone and never coming back
All of this forgotten
Not by me
I can see myself
I look peaceful and pale
But underneath I can barely inhale
And I can hear myself singing that song
Over and over until it belongs to me
Selene and Michael waited until Ravyn had finished before opening the door a crack. They saw Ravyn sitting on the couch ready a diary a vampyre wrote, that was one of the one's that tried to brake into Lucian's fortress. She was on the last entry.
" So much blood," She began, " Puddles of it every where. So much massacre. To think of all the lives that suffered. I realize now why Viktor had said it was a lost cause. Even with all of our troops… We out numbered the lycans by such a great force and yet we are still losing. I wonder as I lie here if it really wasn't meant to be. If, like Lucian said, " The time of the lycans" has indeed come. I am infact though, glad that I will never see such a day when a lycan would rule over a vampyre. I am starting to feel colder than I usually am. Damn lycan caught my in my undead heart. Breathing becoming harder now… I only wish that Viktor had not driven Ravyn away. If she could just have been here long enough to make peace between our kinds. Her great, diligent, and wise words ring in my head now, " The two forces of the epic war will unite and bleed together." If only Viktor had agreed, then it would be possible for me to see a better underworld. The sun is rising now. Finally I get to see the thing I have missed most since 400 years ago. I can see it rise through a huge chip of the wall that is missing. It warms my skin. A feeling I have missed for so long. Good bye………" Ravyn finished. She looked down.
" Two forces of the epic war will unite and bleed together…" She said to herself.

Don't worry everyone, more on Ravyn is coming. That song is number 19 on the underworld soundtrack for any one who was wondering. But for now we are just pretending that Ravyn made it up. Please R&R and I'll talk to you in the next chapter!!!
