CHAPTER EIGHT

STILL MORE

...

Selene took a deep breath, prepared to reveal the tale that Markus had told her and the other vampires. "Back in ancient times – before Sonja and the war, before Vampires and Lycans, there was said to be a creature that roamed the world. A creature born of a demon and a human. He is said to be a legend, but we now know better. He wreaked havoc against all humanity, until the vampires were created. When this demon discovered that there were more immortals, he set himself out to eliminate these 'threats'. There were some vampires who chose to side with him. He altered their DNA, making them vampires, but to a stranger degree. These creatures are known as the Lorkai: The protectors of the creature. A great war was to come – worst than the one we've been in. The creature would summon an army from the greater Underworld, and destroy all vampires and Lycans in his way. It was then that one of the Lorkai sided with the elders. This girl wasn't a Lorkai by choice. Her Father being the creature made her one by birth. She apparently hated what she was, so she agreed to help. The details are unknown, but somehow they managed to get the Creature locked away in a tomb so he could rest. He's been that way until now."

"What happened?" Simon breathed, awed by the story.

"We're not certain, but somehow the creature has been awoken, and he's out to destroy all vampires and Lycans that are against him. He'll raise his army and we'll be helpless. We might still have a chance if we work together. We killed Carr, because he told us that he works for the creature." Selene said. She threw accusing eyes at Simon as she said, "There may be more spies here."

"You said that the Lorkai was made up of vampires. How could Carr be one? He was definitely a Lycan," Michael stated.

"He's altered their DNA as he did with the vampires. Now that Lycans aren't being forced to serve the Vampires, they're easier victims," Kahn stated.

Selene scowled. "Which is why you can't trust anyone. Carr was sent to give us the warning. There may be more out there," She stated.

"How do you know that there aren't any vampires who are spies?" Simon countered.

"We don't," Selene said simply.

"Look, Selene doesn't trust anybody else but Kahn," Erika said.

"Then why are you here?" Michael asked her.

"Because if there were any shooting, there would be a chance of getting rid of me, right Selene?" Erika asked.

Selene hissed angrily at her, but didn't reply. "Do we have an alliance or not?" She demanded.

Michael and Simon exchanged nervous glances. "I have to be concerned about my people," Michael said slowly, causing Selene to raise her eyebrows in surprise. "Do you have any proof of what you say?"

"Judging by your encounter, I'd think you'd believe us," Selene snapped.

"I have to be certain."

"Michael -."

"Do you?"

Selene sighed. "Show him, Kahn," She said.

Kahn pulled out the pictures and showed them to Michael. He looked them over, seeing the strange mangled bodies of vampires and Lycans. He looked away, handing them to Simon.

"I think I'm going to be sick," He said.

"Didn't you say you were going to be a medic?" Simon asked with amusement. Selene couldn't stop the smile from showing on her face, but quickly hid it when Simon glared at her. "What does this prove?"

"That's what the Lorkai has done to our kinds," Erika told him.

"And they won't stop there," Selene added. Simon handed the pictures back to Selene, who had Kahn put them away. "Do we have an alliance or not?"

"We do," Michael said.

"What!?" Simon demanded. "I know I said I'd hear them out, but do you honestly believe this!?"

"You weren't there, Simon. You didn't see what I saw. There's no way they would be lying. I'm sure if you could finally get Kailyn talking again she'd tell you the same thing," Michael said.

Simon took in a heavy breath. "I won't endanger my family because -."

"Enough. Simon, I asked you to trust my judgment. They haven't attacked us yet, have they? Please trust me now."

Selene was in awe. Michael had become a leader. Simon grimaced, but said nothing. Out of nowhere, Michael laughed. Everyone in the room stared at him as if he were crazy.

"I just can't believe I'm going to tell the rest of the Lycans such a ridiculous story," He stated.

"But it's true," Erika exclaimed.

"I know. I know it's true. But if Simon doesn't believe it, do you really think anyone else will?"

"If they want to survive they will," Selene stated. Michael rubbed at his eyes.

"How are we supposed to find traitors?" Michael asked.

"We can't. Not unless they make themselves open," Selene replied gravely.

"I was hoping that we could just have a peace treaty without more war," Michael said sadly.

"What's worse, Michael? Vampires and Lycans killing each other, or vampires and Lycans working together for their own survival?"

"Yeah, I know," He replied softly. "How do we write out this treaty?"

Selene looked to Kahn, who took out a document that had already been written. "Simply sign on the dotted line."

The Lycan dining hall

Selene pushed open the doors to the dining hall, Erika and Kahn right behind her. Behind them were Michael, Simon and Raze.

"You wouldn't happen to have blood, would you?" Erika asked hopefully.

"We have some," Michael admitted. "Sometimes, blood is better than flesh."

Raze moved closer to Michael. "I think this is a bad idea," He whispered sharply in Michael's ear. Selene caught his statement, and turned around. She looked back at Kahn and Erika, who were watching her, and then she took off her coat, and placed it on the table.

"Selene -," Kahn tried to say.

"Do it," She snapped. The other two took off their coats and put them with hers.

"What are you doing?" Simon asked.

Selene bent down and pulled a gun out, quick to disarm it and allow the bullets to fall in her arm. She then placed them on the table as well. Kahn and Erika hesitated, and then did the same. Selene stepped up to Michael, and then met Raze and Simon in the eye.

"We're entirely disarmed. Is that good enough for you?" She hissed.

No one said anything. Kahn watched Selene with slight admiration, but Erika looked down. "We aren't being threatened by you. We're two groups of immortals working together for a similar purpose. We have no reason to be afraid. Neither do you. There are only three of us, and no one else knows your whereabouts. If we wanted you dead, we would have done it already. Vampires aren't for lowly trickery." She spat on the floor. "I'm ashamed by your mistrust."

"Forgive me for not trusting a VAMPIRE," Raze said sharply.

Everyone expected Selene to lash out on him, but she didn't. She just turned and walked away. "Where's your blood?" She asked, trying to control her voice.

"Simon, bring out a cooler of blood for our guests," Michael said. Then he turned to Raze. "I want you to go and dispatch groups to meet the Lycan Ambassadors. Simon can show you where they will be arriving."

"No need. I already know," Raze growled. He threw one more glare at the vampires and then marched angrily out of the room.

Michael hesitated, before walking up to Selene. The two looked awkwardly at each other, before Michael offered her and the rest to take a seat. They did so without a word.

"Where have you been?" Michael finally asked.

Selene opened her mouth to reply, and then closed it. Wow, how had things become so uncomfortable? "Here and there," She finally said. Once more there was silence, soon interrupted by Simon bringing out the cooler, leaving the vampires to drink.

"Where's Raze?" He asked.

"He went to meet the ambassadors," Michael replied. Simon frowned and took a seat next to Michael.

"When are you going to tell Markus that we've agreed?" Michael inquired.

"As soon as we can," Kahn replied.

"How did you get here?"

"Kahn flew a jet over here. The plan is to return tomorrow night and try and get things organized," Selene said.

"So you won't be staying for long?" Michael asked; disappointment in his voice.

"Selene will," Kahn stated. This was news to Selene. She gawked at him.

"What?!" She demanded, furiously.

"Markus's orders. Erika and I are to return while you stay here."

"You're not leaving without me!" Selene snapped. She jumped up, and was now looking at her fellow comrades with anger.

"It's alright, I'll stay," Erika said. "The reason Markus wanted us to return was to bring him and a few others down."

"He promised he wouldn't attack," Selene said.

"We aren't going to attack, Selene," Kahn said stiffly, afraid of Selene's rage.

Michael and Simon looked at each other. "Explain how this makes sense," Simon said. He was now glaring at Erika and Kahn.

"If we're going to work together we're going to have to communicate," Kahn stated. "Markus will be flown down here so we can establish battle plans."

"We have to trust each other," Michael agreed with a sigh. "There's no way we can know for certain that this isn't just a trick. I for one wouldn't mind meeting with Markus. But it has to be away from here, understood?"

"We wouldn't know how to get here, anyways. Selene drove."

"I'm surprised she remembered how to get here, considering she was asleep when we brought her," Simon stated. Selene simply looked away without a word.

"Are you almost done?" Michael asked.

"Yes."

"The sun will be up shortly. Do you have any rooms without windows?" Erika asked.

Yes, we do. Follow me," Michael said. He stood, and the others did the same. They walked around for a little while, until Michael approached a door.

"Selene and, umm ..." Michael quickly realized that Selene had never introduced the other vampires.

"Erika and Kahn," Selene said, realizing her own slip up.

Michael nodded. "Selene and Erika can sleep in here. Across the hall, Kahn will stay, alright?"

The vampires nodded. Kahn started in for his room, and Erika opened theirs. Selene just stared at Michael. SAY SOMETHING, YOU IDIOT, she scolded. To her shock, she wrapped her arms around him in a quick hug, and said, "Thank you." Then she realized it, and pulled away. Both Michael and Erika stared at her in shock. Selene retreated quickly into the room, and Erika did the same, closing the door unsurely behind here.

Michael looked over at Simon, who was gawking. "That was unusual," He said. Then he shook his head. "Most unusual." With that he walked off. Michael was quick to follow him.

"What's the news with my tests?" He asked.

"Negative," Simon said, smiling to himself. "All the silver nitrate is out of your system. This is an amazing breakthrough. It may come in handy in this new war."

"Yes," Michael agreed softly. Then he went back to his room to sleep.

(Sorry this is so short, people. My brother's bugging me to get on)
