You're supposed to be dead. . . Thane thought he was there when he heard the news. He saw Kraven bring back the skin. Thane sat there stunned there was Lucian flesh and blood. Lucian had his same warm smile on.

"It's hard to believe isn't it. . ."

"Yes."

"It's hard to believe that we wouldmeet again. I spent so long looking for you and now here you are."

"What happened?"

"I know you won't be happy, but Kraven and I made a pact."

Thane looked at him. He couldn't believe the manwho had sworn to kill every last vampire was now in league with them. Thane opened up the door to the car and stepped out. Lucian followed.

"Where are you going?"

Thane stopped and turned and looked at him.

"I can't believe you!"

"Yes I know it does seem a little absurd."

"When you escaped they talked. Those lycans talked you were the one who was going to kill the vampires. Who were the one to set them free."

"I did."

"You went back on your word!"

"You're being hunted Thane. You walk away right now you won't be safe. They've got bloods searching for you."

Thane didn't answer he continued walking down the street. It was about 20 degrees out and Thane wasn't wearing a shirt and he was bare foot. Lucian turned back and got into his limo and drove away.

"God fucking dammit!"

Lucian kicked the door of the limo.

Selene was back at the mansion. They couldn't spend their time on Thane right at the moment they needed to prepare for the Awakening of Amelia. Kraven had this horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach when Amelia would find out about Thane. Thane was walking aimlessly through back alleys and parks. He was thinking about the pact that Lucian had said.

"Selene I want you and death dealers to find Thane."

"He got away in that black limo."

"I have a feeling he didn't stay in the limo."

"Fine."

Selene rounded up the death dealers and they headed out. Thane was now sitting on a bench in a park he did not know the name of. He lifted his head and sniffed the air.

"Fucking bloods. . ."

Thane stood and waited for them to appear. Two death dealers rounded the corner and began to open fire. Thane jumped over them kicked one in the back and twisted his neck. He then grabbed the others knife and slit his throat jugular blood sprayed out painting the grass red. Another one appeared and fired a shotgun striking Thane in the shoulder and shattering every bone. Thane removed the knife from the one already dead death dealer and threw it at the other one it hit him throat. Four more death dealers appeared.

"How many of these things are there?"

"Thane stop this!"

The four came into view. It was Selene she had her gun raised pointed directly at his head. Thane stood there breathing heavily. He was completed unarmed he wasn't going with vampires. I can't kill Selene, but then again I can't captured.

"Sorry."

He picked up the uzi that belonged to the death dealer and fired blindly. He had his eyes closed and head turned. The magazine clicked. Thane dropped the gun and ran for it. He had no other choice, but to find Lucian.

"Get him!" shouted Kahn.

Blood was gushing from hisshoulder. Running down his back and soaking his pants. He got a lycan scent and followed it. It led him to an open storm drain. Thane climbed in and followed the scent. Until he heard the lycans shouting and yelling. He entered the lab and saw Lucian.

"Lucian. . ."

He turned around and smiled at Thane.

"Don't fuck with me Lucian. Just tell me what the deal is you made with Kraven?"

"Kill the elders. . ."
