Michael stared at the door
"She's late"
"Maybe she got delayed"
"Or caught, something is wrong I know it she should have been here over an hour ago" Michael was fed up with waiting
"She'll be here"
"No I know she wont, in the pit of my stomach something is wrong she said she'd be here, and she's not I know she does everything she says she's that type of person, something has happened to her! And I'm not going to sit here and we have stayed here too long"
"If your going I'm going with you" Lucian stood up sliding his coat on.
"You need someone to help you with your powers and watch your back"
Michael said nothing he charged out the door and down the drive he could think of only one place to go, Kraven's mansion.
Lucian had to keep telling Michael to slow down as they ran before they attracted any mortal attention, Lucian was beginning to sense Michael's distress.
"I can't remember if it was twenty four or forty two" Michael told himself reaching the long vacant rundown street.
"Twenty four" Lucian said scratching his back
"How do you know?"
"Well it's a short street hence the number of houses going up to forty two is unlikely, the other reason is there is a huge run down mansion at twenty four in view" Lucian pointed to mansion direction.
Michael never stopped to Question just headed up to the gate
"Michael what are you doing!"
"Getting Selene" Michael answered reaching the gate.
"Stupid…" Lucian muttered
"You don't know the first thing about battle fighting or even war do you"
"I'm a doctor I save lives not take them!"
"I guessed as much, Michael you cannot go barging in on places, keep doing that you'll get not only yourself but Selene killed, think damn it!" Lucian badly wanted to whack Michael for his stupidity but withheld himself he had to remember Michael was still only new to it all.
"I have to help her"
"I know but what would she do in your situation? She would plan it first. We don't even know if she is in there yet"
"Freeze!" Before Michael and Lucian knew it they where surrounded in X dealers and Lycans. The Lycans where instantly shocked to see Lucian
"Lucian?" One asked lowering his gun three others also lowered their weapons refusing to shoot the leader they thought was dead.
The dealers realized what was happening before they could turn their guns the Lycans had the barrels pointed at their temples
"Don't even think about it" The three Lycans turned away from Michael and Lucian in a protective manor
"Put your weapons down and back away" Another yelled in synch they lowered their weapons and did as they where told.
"S…" Lucian whacked Michael before he could yell anything
"I'll do the talking"
"We are here just to talk to Kraven nothing more"
It was a servant who came to clean Kraven's room that found him waking up still tied to the bed. To Selene's better fortune he remembered nothing and thought he had had a good night.
"Damn where is she?" He asked sitting up groggy.
"I'm not sure my lord I think she may be in her bathroom the light is on"
"Finally get the woman I want and don't even remember it… fuck. Never mind there is all eternity" He arrogantly smirked to himself totally unaware.
"Lord Kraven there is two guys here to see you they look… hybrid"
Kraven froze.
"They want her back" he muttered angrily to himself there was no way he was going to give her up so easily. Then a thought crossed his mind, if Michael was in love with Selene what better way then to rub it in his face. Kraven smiled sadistically
"Yes I will see to them" he told the dealer who stood outside the door. Kraven only bothered to dress in a pair of boxers and robe and walked out onto the balcony above the drive.
"Well, well if it isn't Mr. Reject and Mr. I never seem to die" Kraven smirked. Michael wanted to lunge at him to be stopped by Lucian's whack again
"I told you to shut up I'll do the talking" Lucian whispered to Michael who shot a deadly glare at Lucian.
"We are here to see Selene"
"She's taking a shower… what's the matter Michael? Jealous? You should be last night she was all mine"
Michael growled not believing it about to yell when once again Lucian gave him yet another whack.
"Shut up and restrain your self" Lucian snapped then leaned closer
"I told you I will handle it now keep your mouth shut!"
"I remember everything we did it all night, she is a hot piece of meat obviously you where not man enough looks like she chooses money, power and handsome over a gutter rat like you"
The corner of Michael's eye was twitching really bad at this point trying to restrain his anger, yet somewhere still questioned did she go that far just to secure their future? What angered him most was Kraven referred to her as a piece of meat, to Michael Selene was so much more how dare Kraven speak that way, or even think of throwing Selene aside and look for new 'meat'.
"Shut up Kraven we just want to talk to her" Lucian interrupted.
"Well you can't"
"Fine"
"What?" Michael snapped at Lucian
"Let's go" Lucian's patience had worn thin.
"No!" Michael refused.
"Come on" Lucian grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out into the street. Kraven narrowed his eyes and smirked to himself walking back inside.
"What are you doing?" Michael turned snarling at Lucian
"She's not there!" Lucian growled back.
Michael clamed himself trying to take a deep breath
"Why do you say that?"
"He was too smug, he doesn't know she is gone, if she was still there willingly she would have come out. When Kraven has lost something or is not getting his way he gets shitty and yells believe me I had been in league with him long enough to know he can't act to save himself" Lucian crossed his arms.
"Besides there was tracks in the drive that was disrupted not so long ago roughly over an hour exactly about the time Selene said she left"
Michael stared blankly at Lucian
"I would know Michael I was a tracker for the Vampyre's for years I know how to read marks in the dirt"
"Then where the hell is she?"
"You guess is as good as mine… then again she could be thinking the same as us"
"You think she is back at the clinic?"
"Wouldn't hurt to look"
Lucian glanced at the three Lycans who looked ready to take his orders again
"We had no where else to go, we thought you where dead and…"
"Forget about it our pack is small I think we can fit a few more in it" Lucian smiled looking back at Michael who did not look the happiest. Michael knew Selene was not going to like more Lycans in the pack, not to mention Michael didn't know them making them a threat to her.
He had no other choice.
UV: Hmmm yeah... You will findI have a rather nasty reputation of being an untter B'arch when it comes to cliff hangers. Sometimes. :).
Elvishphoenix: Thanks sometimes I think I write a little too much though and eventually ruin the scene...
Synch14: Kraven was bitten by one of the older vampyres he is NOT a pure blood :). Origanally (in the book) he was a death dealer, well guard like dealer anyway and he shot Lucian then, thats why Lucian never liked him but Lucian didn't hold a grudge against Kraven for doing that because Kraven thought Lucian (who was in his form) was attacking Sonja so he shot him. Yes the blond is Lilly well Lilly refrence anyway. That page is crappy it needs redoing. Im not updating it, Ive already told everyone who emails me and stuff I'm not updating it till I have finished my work at Polytech, I have to many deadlines and cannot work on two stories at once. I only posted those chapters for people to know the name of the story and get the main idea of the time line. :). I will probably start work on that in another 2-4 days. Sorry.
