Chapter 6

Even Snow Queen needs friends …

Selina was very tired from all these feelings, much better to be hollow, nobody can hurt you. She was very grateful to Van Helsing for saving Fellan. When she came to doctor Vina's house and saw Kiara and Fellan holding each others' hands and smiling, she became happier. Flame of their love was so bright that could light the whole house. Selin asked Vina a about his health:

"Fellan looks much better, I guess he's fine?"

"Right, it's a great honor to heal Luka's son. We respect them both."

Sel smiled, she knew that witches (doctors mostly were witches) were taught to perceived men only like fathers of their children, that's why marriages between witches and vampires, werewolves or humans continued not less than one year. But if they respected man it said that this man was very exceptional, as she knew Victor and Luka were.

"Oh, Miss Kale, there is one who wanted to see you," – added Vina.

"Really, who?"

"That way," – doctor showed graciously and went to give Fellan his portion of medicine.

Selina sensed that it was a vampire. She went to another room without windows, lit only with few candles. There was a narrow bed in the corner with heavy black valance, on which was lying a young woman with short light-colored hair and warm cherry eyes.

"Hello, Sel! I missed you so much!" – She smiled.

"Lora? I'm sorry, I haven't visited you before." – Selin sat near her friend -

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, great, but that bastard hurt me badly! Thanks all of you, I'm better now," – Lora took off the blanket and showed Selina her bandaged abdomen.

"In fact that was your fault; you should listen to my orders and accomplish them. You never learn, my friend." – Selin said in a little bit strict manner.

"I'm very sorry, Sel. I promise I'll be a good girl!"

Lora looked pretty and innocent like a child, so even severe Selina couldn't be angry on her long.

"I hope you will, I still need you in troop "C", we miss you, dear. So much happened while you were here."

"Tell me."

Vampire told her everything; she kept silence only about her emotions to Dracula. Lora smiled dreamily:

"He is not as bad as I thought. I must say he is a hero."

"Fellan? Yes, he is a hero."

"I was speaking about Gabriel. He is nice."

"What had Vina given to you? You speak strange things!" – Selin touched Lora's head as she wanted to measure her temperature.

"Sel! I'm not a child!" – She protested moody.

"Sorry." – Selina took her hand away and caressed her neck thinking about something. Curious Lora tried to read her mind but she wasn't as powerful as her friend. Sel blocked her easily and smiled:

"Don't even try, my dear, my thoughts are secret."

"Oh, really? I didn't know about it!" – Lora crossed arms on her chest and looked at Selina innocently. -

"But, I know you rather well, so I think I can guess about what you were thinking."

"Try if you want."

"About that sexy handsome guy from Romania," – she smiled slyly.

"Who told you?" – Selin was a little bit embarrassed.

"Told what?"

"Nothing."

Lora still didn't want to change the topic; she needed to know everything about everybody.

"Sel, please, you can't even imagine how boring it to lie here alone, far from the outside world!"

"Lora, have you forgotten? Curiosity – humans' flaw. Remember, what Victor said: 'Humans are food, the Holy Order is enemy, kill them all without mercy, before they killed you.'"

Selin learnt Victor's phrases by heart and sometimes quoted them to herself. It helped to protect from loneliness and humans' emotions.

"I know, Snow Queen, but I'm sure, our Romanian guest makes your icy heart melts!"

Selin smiled and unbuckled her right high boot. There was a tattoo on her leg looked like black snowflake with her initials below.

"Again my nickname? I've forgotten when you called me like that."

Lora smiled to her and remembered how Sel made this tattoo. It was when Victor offered her to join the trio 'C', the most elite and strong team. The girl was very afraid because she heard talks about the leader of trio – cold, insensible monster that doesn't care about anyone. But when they first met, she understood that it wasn't true, Selina Kale had friends, love and favorite work. She became hollow only with humans, whom she hated. For her coldness to enemies Lora gave her boss a nickname – Snow Queen. After one very dangerous assignment the quadruple made tattoos which characterized their personalities: Selina – snowflake, Lora – red butterfly, Mirek – a skull in helmet with two letters on it 'H.O.' (means Holy Order) and Karen – oak branch. Karen was member of troop 'C' for ten years, but oak stake finished her life and Alexander changed her.

"Yeah, your nickname. I was a silly little girl when met you."

"You haven't changed at all!" – Selina smiled slyly.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Don't change, I love your childish."

Lora laughed happily, she couldn't angry on Selin.

"I love you … sister," – Lora said quietly.

"I love you, too. Even Snow Queen needs friends."

They embraced, Selina was very careful not to hurt Lora.

"What about true love? Like Romeo and Juliet."

"They died and they were just humans, their love isn't eternal."

"So maybe like Victor and Penelope?

Victor and Penelope were from noble families, they met, beloved, married and had child – Valdemar. Penelope was killed by knight of the Holy Order soon after, and Victor became a widower and carried about his son alone. Seventeen years passed but Victor didn't marry.

"Maybe, Lora, maybe. The time will show."
