Eli twisted in Lucian's arms to face Raze.

"Hi, Daddy," she said, grinning broadly.

"Hey, little one," Raze repiled, winking. Khalid rolled her eyes.

"I've about had enough of that little joke," she said.

"Sorry," Eli and Raze said.

"Don't do it again," Khalid said.

"Alright," Eli murmered.

"Good," Khalid said. "Now, I suggest we get to the den before anyone else comes along."

"I agree," Lucian said. "I feel much safer there."


Ten minutes later, Raze, who was leading the group, came to a sudden stop, causing Michael, Taylor, and Pierce to run into each other.

"Why are we stopping? " Michael asked.

"Beacause," Raze said, lifting the top off of a manhole cover,"we're going down there."

"Into the sewer ?" Michael asked.

"Yep," Pierce said.

"Oh, joy," Michael said, sarcastically. One by one, the group jumped down into the manhole, ending with Raze, who had Eli on his back. After Raze put Eli down, the group started off again.

"Well," Khalid said,"anyone have any questions, comments, or observations "

"Yeah," Michael said. "I've got questions."

"Ask away," Khalid said. "Between Lucian, Raze, and I, we should be able to answer them."

"Is she a Lycan ?" Michael asked, nodding towards Eli.

"Yes," Khalid said.

"She doesn't smell like one."

"Well, you have to remember that she's only been around five other Lycans in her entire life," Khalid said.

"Can she change ?"

"Not yet," Khalid said.

"Who's he ?" Michael asked, indicating the man standing in front of the door that they'd just stopped in front of. The man had black hair and red eyes, and was just a little taller than Michael.

"What the hell ?" the man said with an American accent. "A Vampire, a Hybrid, two guys who are supposed to be dead, a chick that I haven't seen in five years, and a midget. What's wrong with this picture ?"

"Good to see you too, Mace," Khalid said. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to get in there."

"Everyone can go in there, except her" Mace said, nodding towards Selene.

"If I go in, she goes in," Michael said.

"Well, then, neither of you go in," Mace said.

"Mace, move," Raze said.

"Or what " Mace said.

CLICK

Mace suddenly found himself staring down the barrel of not one, not two, but THREE guns:One held by Khalid, one by Selene, and the other by Michael.

"Okay, okay, she can go in," Mace said. "You don't have to splatter my brains everywhere, but if you feel that you need to, go right ahead."

The guns were put away, and everyone filed into the den. As Eli walked past Mace, she glared at him.

"I am NOT a midget," she said, angrily.

"Well, excuse me," Mace said, closing the door behind them.


Everyone looked up as the group walked through the main room. A few of the Lycans looked angry, but most just looked shocked.

"Why is everyone staring at us ?" Michael asked through clenched teeth.

"They've never seen a Hybrid before," Khalid said.

"They know ?" Michael asked.

"They can smell it," Khalid said.

"Which means that they've also figured out that I'm a Vampire," Selene muttered.

"Probably so," Khalid said, stopping in front of another door. She tried to open the door, only to find that it was locked.

"Open the damn door," Khalid said, banging on the door. A man with red hair and green eyes opened the door.

"Khalid, good to see you," he said. "I was starting to worry that you'd killed Taylor and Pierce."

"Cadent, we need to talk," Khalid said.

"About what ?" Cadent asked.

"Them," Khalid said, moving so that Cadent could see Michael, Selene, Lucian and Raze. Cadent's jaw hit the ground.

"Holy shit."


Sorry for taking so long. I kept getting sidetracked. I'm also sorry for the short chapter. The next one will be longer, I promise. Thanks to all my reviewers. Just wish there were more of you :)
