A/N: Hi everyone ! I'm sorry. I would've had the chapter up last week if my dad hadn't picked me up early. Sorry again.


Several hours later, the door to Cadent's room opened, and Selene walked out. Selene shook her head as she saw everyone.Michael had fallen asleep with his chair leaned against the wall and Mace, Lucian, Cadent, and Damon had fallen asleep with their heads on the table. Khalid and Raze were both still in their chairs. Khalid's head was on Raze's shoulder, and Raze's head was on top of Khalid's. Eli was curled up with half of her body in Khalid's lap, and the other half of her body in Raze's lap. Selene tapped Michael's shoulder gently.

"Michael," she said quietly. Michael opened his eyes and smiled at Selene.

"Hey," he whispered.

"Look," Selene said quietly, nodding towards Khalid, Raze, and Eli. Michael laughed quietly when he saw them.

"Cute," Michael muttered. Selene rolled her eyes.

"Whatever."

A few minutes later, everyone else woke up. Everyone except Raze and Khalid, that is. Eli carefully got off of them, and, somehow, managed to avoid waking them up. The others just stood there, staring at Raze and Khalid in disbelief.

"You know," Mace said quietly, "they say that what you do in your sleep reflects what you want in reality."

"Well, then," Cadent said, "we know what they want."

"Yeah, each other," Mace said. Lucian rolled his eyes, and then walked over to Raze and Khalid.

"Time to get up," Lucian said loudly. In an instant, two pairs of eyes snapped open. As soon as they realized that they were touching, Khalid and Raze jumped away from each other, both falling out of their chairs. This, of course, triggered laughter. Lots and lots of laughter.

"Shut up," Khalid growled as she and Raze got to their feet. As always, everyone did the opposite of what Khalid had said. They laughed MORE.

"HEY !" Raze yelled, silencing everyone. "That's more like it."

"Can't stay away from each other, huh ?" Cadent said, laughing.

"Shut up, Cadent," Khalid said.

"I always thought that you two would make a nice couple," Cadent said, still laughing.

"Cadent," Khalid said threateningly. Cadent stopped laughing.

"Whoa, you haven't been this mad at me since the M-4 incident," Cadent said.

"I'll show you mad," Khalid said, walking over to Cadent.

"Khalid, don't hit him," Lucian said. Khalid rolled her eyes, before kicking Cadent in the chest, sending him flying into a wall.

"Khalid !" Lucian said.

"I didn't hit him," Khalid said, walking out of the room. Raze went after Khalid, while Damon checked on Cadent.

"You alright, Cade ?" Damon asked.

"Did anyone get the license plate number for the car that just hit me ?" Cadent asked, before sitting up.

"He's fine," Damon said, pulling Cadent to his feet.


Khalid knew she was being followed, and she knew that Raze was the one doing the following, she just didn't care. She figured that if Raze wanted to follow her, he would, regardless of what she did. Khalid walked aimlessly, until a scream got her attention.

"VAMPIRES !"

In a instant, Raze went into Hybrid mode, and threw Khalid over his shoulder, before darting off.

"Raze, put me down," Khalid said.

"In a minute," Raze said. Raze put Khalid down outside of her bedroom.

"Weapons," Raze said. "Get them."

Khalid went into her room and grabbed her 1911s and as much ammo as possible.

"Get the M-4," Raze said.

"But-"

"Get it," Raze said. Khalid sighed and grabbed the M-4, before running towards the sounds of gunfire and growling, with Raze following close behind. When they arrived in the main room, they found that the fight was nearly over, and it was going in their favor. Khalid pulled her 1911s and opened fire on the nearest Vampire, while Raze ripped another to shreds. In a matter of moments, the fight was over, with all of the Vampires (minus Selene, of course) dead.

"Is everyone alright ?" Khalid asked. Lucian, Raze, and Michael all nodded, despite the fact that all of them were covered in bullet holes and silver nitrate.

"We're good," Mace said.

"Where's Eli ?" Khalid asked. Everyone shrugged.

"No clue," Cadent said.

"You lost her ?" Khalid asked angrily.

"Well..." Cadent said.

"I'll deal with you later," Khalid said. "Eli, where are you ?"

"Over here," Eli said, pushing a dead Vampire off of her. She stood up, wiping blood and silver nitrate on her pants.

"Are you alright ?" Khalid asked.

"I'm fine," Eli said.

"Good," Khalid said. "Where's Damon ?"

"I'm here, but I'm hit," Damon said, walking in and kicking dead Vampires out of his way. His right shoulder was bleeding, and he was holding a regular silver bullet in his hand.

"I dug this out of my shoulder," Damon said. Khalid sighed.

"Come on," she said. "I'll patch you up."


Khalid sat in a chair in front of Damon, putting stitches in his shoulder. Raze stood in the doorway, watching Khalid.

"You seem awfully interested in this, Raze," Khalid said, not looking up.

"Well, this is the first time that I've actually gotten to see someone get stitches," Raze said. "Usually, I'm the one getting stitched up."

"True," Khalid said. "So, Damon, why haven't you been turned yet ?"

"I was...kinda hoping you'd do the honors," Damon said quietly.

"Me ? Bite you ?" Khalid asked. Raze growled involuntarily, earning odd looks from Damon and Khalid. Ignoring Raze, Damon responded.

"Yeah."

"I don't know about that," Khalid said. "I've never tried to turn anyone. I'd probably end up killing you."

"Hey, Mom, come here," Eli called.

"Excuse me," Khalid said, getting up and leaving the room.

"I'm sorry," Damon said.

"What ?" Raze asked, confused.

"If I'd known she was yours, I wouldn't have asked her to turn me," Damon said.

"She's not mine," Raze said.

"Well, the threatening growl sorta said otherwise," Damon said.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that," Raze said.

"Did I miss something ?" Khalid asked, walking back in the room.

"Not really," Damon said.

"Alright, in that case, I'm going to finish with your shoulder," Khalid said, sitting back down.


After she was done with Damon's shoulder, Khalid decided that she and Lucian needed to talk, so she headed towards his room. On the way, Khalid chose to ignore the fact that Raze was following her. When she got to Lucian's room, she knocked on the door.

"Lucian ?" she called.

"Come in," Lucian said. Khalid opened the door and walked in, followed closely by Raze.

"Lucian, I don't think that it's safe for the pack to stay here," Khalid said. "Now that they know where we are, they can attack at any time."

"Well, where do you propose we go ?" Lucian asked.

"My house," Khalid said. "It's huge. Just about everyone would have their own rooms. It's got electricity, running water, a heater and an air conditioner. Plus, I've got a room full of medical supplies that would come in handy."

"I don't know," Lucian said. "I was starting to get used to this place."

"Kraven knows where we are," Khalid said. "Ryan and Rhian even know. We can't stay here."

"What do you think, Raze ?" Lucian asked.

"I agree with Khalid," Raze said.

"Well, then, we'll go," Lucian said. "How are we going to get there ?"

"Leave that to me," Khalid said, smiling slyly.


Synch14: I will explain why Kraven's the way he is, but you probably won't like it ;) Oh, and you're right about Eli's eyes.

mizukimarr910 : Well, like you said, Khalid isn't currently with anyone, but that's going to change :) She's interested in a certain member of Lucian's pack, but I'm not saying who just yet.

Lady Marecia: Glad you like it :)

Deathlord996: Of course ! There will be plenty of violence and Selene/Michael romance in the coming chapters.

blackace252: Nice to finally here from you. I thought that you'd dropped off the face of the earth (I wish ! LOL). You of all people should get the Damon thing. Keep reading. Oh, and quit trying to kill my brother ;)
