Chapter 15. Lydecker
Selene and Michael were awakened by a pounding on their door. Selene's face scrunched up and she rolled over.
"Don't get up." Michael said. "I'll see what they want. "
Selene didn't see a problem with this, and she buieried her head in her pillow.
Michael stalked to the door and opened it. "Yes?"
There was a soldier standing there with a rifle. The blonde man from the night before was there as well. The sun wasn't down yet and it hurt Michaels eyes. He was used to nocturnal living now. He noted that the sun had no effect on him, however.
The blond man stepped forward. "Michael, is it?"
"Yes." Michael said rubbing his eyes. "Where's Sandiman?"
"He told me to tell you he had to leave. It was an emergency. I'm in charge."
Michael nodded. He already didn't like this man.
"I need for you two to come with me now to take some DNA samples." Said Lydecker.
"She can't come out until the sun goes down." Michael indicated behind him. Sandiman either did not trust this man or had to leave in a great hurry that he didn't tell him what he was dealing with.
"Why not?" Asked Lydecker.
"Sandiman didn't tell you about us did he?"
"He told me enough." Lydecker said angrily.
Michael doubted this. He smirked. "Come back after sundown and we'll come with you."
Lydecker wasn't happy about this. "Look, we own you. You do as I say!"
Michael laughed. "Funny. Sandiman bought our help, not us."
Lydecker motioned to the man with the rifle and he attempted to grab Michael by the arm. Michael pushed him back easily. The man stumbled back behind Lydecker who had stepped out of the way.
"Not smart." Lydecker stated.
Michael smirked again. "It's you who isn't smart."
Lydecker was pissed. He didn't like being called stupid.
Michael was beginning to see the problem in this moment. He could easily fight the soldiers; but Selene was stuck inside until the sun went down. It was only ten minuets or so; but they had weapons and he didn't.
Michael sighed, "Look, she's allergic to sunlight and she can't be exposed to it. Just give us until the sun goes down and we'll come peacefully."
Lydecker seemed to relax a little. "We'll wait out here."
Michael nodded and went back inside. He put a new shirt on and changed into his jeans. Then he went to wake up Selene.
He smiled at how cute she was lying there with her head covered by a pillow.
"Sel, " He said tickling one of her feet. "It's time to get up."
She jerked away from his fingers and sat up to give him a scowl before flopping back down into the pillows.
"Come on, Selene. We have to eat and then go with the nice soldiers."
She grudgingly got up and started putting her clothing on.
Michael reached out to her with his mind. "Sandiman's gone."
She stopped dressing and looked up at him. "What?"
"I think his old friends came for him and he had to run."
"What now?" She asked.
"Well, Sgt. Asshole out there seems to think we belong to them. Wanna show them different?"
She grinned and resumed dressing. "Yeah, I could use the excercise. Wish I had my guns."
He grinned. "You don't need them. We're not fighting Lycans or vampires. These are humans. And I intend to teach them a lesson."
Selene finished lacing her corset and made directly for the refridgerator for some blood. She and Michael ate quickly and gathered their remaining things. Selene put Sonjas necklace around her neck to make sure it was safe.
MIchael carried his clothing in the knapsack he had, thankful it wouldn't be in the way.
"What about the kids Michael?" Selene asked suddenly.
"We can't honey. I'm not getting us trapped again. Not even for these kids. I can't risk you or the baby. "
Selene looked sad. "They might all die in here." Her pregnancy was already tapping into her maternal instincts.
"If they're strong, they won't. " Michael turned her face to look at him. "We can't. We can't risk it."
She nodded in understanding; but he saw she was still torn. He hugged her and tried to comfort her.
Lydecker started pounding on the door again. "It's sundown! We need to go NOW!"
"All right!" Michael called back angrily. He turned to Selene. "You ready?"
She nodded and Michael called upon his body to make the change. In seconds he was blue skinned and black eyed.
He took the lead and burst through the door, knocking over the two men standing there. He gave pause to growl down into Lydeckers astonished face. Selene followed him and smiled smugly down at the blond man.
Lydecker shook the fear off and radioed a code red to his men. The base was soon a flurry of activity. There were soldiers everywhere with machine guns and other weapons.
Michael and Selene watched all this from a hiding spot on top of one of the taller buildings. The men were all on high alert and were keeping watch in all directions. Except for up.
Selene crept to the edge of the building and motioned to Michael. Through thier mind link he could see her plan. He nodded.
She swooped down on an unsuspecting private and disarmed him in a black flash, before dissapearing back up to Michael.
She smirked at him and took the gun apart in a few seconds. Michael shook his head. She'd had her fun. It was time to get down to buisness.
He leapt down from the building and the soldiers immediately opened fire on him. He was too quick for them however and he whirled out of the way.
Selene came down on the other side behind some of the other soldiers. She leapt up onto the fence as Michael directed her and flipped up over it. The soldiers were firing at her and she got out of there as fast as she could.
MIchael was leading a chase around the base. As soon as he was sure that Selene was out he followed her.
As he landed on the other side he heard Lydecker shout, "Cease fire!"
He paused and turned around. Lydecker was standing at the fence staring at him. Michael reverted into human form.
"I don't want to hurt anyone; " He said. "But you come after us, and I will kill you all. Just forget about it."
Lydecker and the other soldiers that were all standing around just stared. Michael looked into Lydeckers eyes and stared him down for a moment or two before changing back. He crashed off into the woods to find Selene.
She was waiting for him in a small clearing in the woods. He ran up to her and picked her up, spinning her in wide circles. They were free.
AN: Well there you go. LOL next installment coming soon.
