As the day turned into night and the air grew colder. The street lights started to turn on one by one. With that, Marcus and his men suited themselves up. The day was turning into night quickly. Looks as though their luck was changing. They had to move quick and swiftly tonight. They were going to attack Baden and his men. Marcus knew he was not going to be able to win against Gage's men. He was far to strong for his men. But Baden's men were in their weakened state. They did not know what was coming thier way.
"Sire, We are ready." Marcus nodded and zipped up his jacket and turned to the woman. "Alright Joy. Tell the men to load into the trucks." The cherry red haired girl nodded and left the room. Marcus grabbed the picture he kept of Selene and kissed it. "I love you." He said quietly before tucking it away in his pocket. He turned, grabbed his gun and walked out into the garage. He opened the garage door. There stood his and Lucian's men. Lucian walked over to him and put his hand on Marcus's shoulder.
"Are you sure you want to do this my friend?" Lucian eye balled his friend as he spoke the question. Marcus nodded as he cocked his gun.
"Positive." Lucian nodded and turn to the men. They had about six trucks filled with men. It must have been 50 men, give or take. They were trained by the best and suited with the best armor today's technology's would allow.
"Lets go-." Before Lucian can even finnish He was cut off by Marcus.
"Wait. I'd like to say some things." Lucian nodded. Marcus stood up on the back of one of the trucks and looked out at the crowed of men and few women. "This is more than I could ask for. I could name so many reasons why this world has never been pure. Why the humans never knew we exsisted for a long time. Why we have been feared and yet respected. I look out at each and every one of you all. I respect you, today, here, now. We are going against what last bit of traiders we have in this world. As you all know, this whole war started with two people in love." Marcus looked at Lucian. Lucian smirked and nodded. "And today it will finnish because of two people in love. You all also know that I am expecting to be a father. I want to live to see my child grow. To teach him or her to hunt, to kill, to protect, and to love. Lets us tonight, go, fight for that child. The child that shall live to see the new century and centuries to come. You all can see that century with that child. We go. We FIGHT!" Marcus held up his gun, the crowed cheered and clapped for him. Lucian nodded and smiled, clapping his hands slowly. His friend was brilliant. No wonder he was an elder.
"Good speach, my lord." Dex said as he helped Marcus down. Marcus smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Dex. Let us go. Gather everyone into the truck." Dex nodded and Marcus turned to Lucian. "Lets load up into the trucks." Lucian nodded and turned to the rest of the men. Marcus hopped into the main truck as Lucian did the same. Once the men were all in the trucks they pulled away. They were all in a way scared they would never live through this. Baden had very powerful men. But Marcus and Lucian both knew, Gage would never help Baden when it came to those sort of things. But Marcus would see to it he won. For his mate. For his child.

Selene could not sit down. She had not heard from Marcus all day. She was worried and yet knew he was alright. She looked down to the growing bump on her stomach and rubbed it. She was just about 5 months along now. Asia walked into the room and smiled at Selene.
"Sit, darling please. Your going to burn holes in the floor boards." Selene pushed her hair from her face in fustration. Asia walked over to her and handed her a cup of blood and tea mixed. It usually helped to calm Selene. Selene took the cup and took a drink. "He will call." Asia told Selene. "Besides, It is not good for the baby for you to be so bloody stressed out." Selene sat down on the couch with Asia and sighed.
"I am sorry. He usually has called by now. I'm really worried. I feel sick. I feel depressed. There are so many emotions going through me I can not relax." Selene laid her head on Asia's shoulder after taking a drink of tea.
"Awe, well Selene love, thats what happens to every pregnant woman. Even the mortal women. I know it hurts being pregnant but it will get better. I promise." Asia kissed her bestfriend's head and rubbed her back trying to take some pressure off of Selene. Selene sighed and took a long big gulp of the tea and closed her eyes.
"I never thought it would hurt this much to be pregnant." Selene rubbed her stomach feeling as big as a house already. She did not even want to get any bigger. She felt so out of her element being big. She had nothing against it but she was so used to being this thin yet strong vampire, she never knew what it was like to have something so heavy to carry around for nine months.
"I know it does. But I am here and if you ever want me to try and ease some pain just ask. I know some old things I was taught when one of the girls in the coven got pregnant and I was just another midwife." Asia was like a big sister to Selene. Selene had no sisters anymore. The only sister she had ever had was killed. Blood wouldn't make Asia an Selene closer. They were as close as can be
"Like what?" Selene opened her eyes and looked back at Asia. Asia smiled and sat her cup down. Asia stood up and grabbed Selene's cup.
"Come with me. Just trust me." Selene had no idea where the hell her friend was taking her but she did trust her. Asia grabbed Selene's hand and helped her up the stairs and to nursery and up the stairs to the loft where Selene slept. "Lay down on your back and close your eyes." Asia told Selene. Selene eyed her friend before doing as told.
Selene let out a sigh of relife when she felt the relaxing motion of Asia's hands on her sides massageing the kinks and knots from her body. She felt as if she died again and went to heaven. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep from the relaxating motions Asia had did. Asia smiled at her work and covered selene up. She walked out of the room and down stairs to the kitchen to clean up everything.
It was hard for the both of them. Selene and her child were going through a lot. It was a lot harder not having Marcus. It is very common for an unborn child and a pregnant mother to be distressed when not with the father. Especially with a child as special as Marcus and Selene's child. It was probablly 20 times harder as well with all the stress being put on Selene with Marcus being in the war.
Asia was more than happy to help her friend relax. Selene and her child both needed it. Selene was happy one second, worried the next. She would just burst into a different emotion 20 minutes it seemed. Asia sighed as she put the dished in the sink and started to wash them.

"Be quiet and be swiftly about it." Baden warned his men as he sat in the car outside of the home. They had killed off the guards and had to be quiet and quick with their decisions. If they didn't they would be sure to die. His men nodded and got out of the car. Two men went to the back door, the other two went to the front.
The two men who went through the back quickly got inside of the house. It was very easy. The backdoor was unlocked. But they could smell the protectiveness through out the house. The one man signaled to the other to be quiet as he stood at a door way signalling someone was in the room he was at. The man nodded and waited a moment.
The man at the door frame peaked in on the woman who was tent in what she was doing. He gave a small smile under his mask and walked in while she was turned away. He swiftly shot the dark on her shoulder. She turned and before she could yell she was out cold, falling to the floor like a rock. The men gave a thumbs up to each other.
"You take the girl, I will do the rest." The man who shot her told the other man. He nodded, picking up the woman and leaving. The other man could smell the other two presences in the house hold. He smiled and followed the scent. Up the steps to the second floor and into a room. He walked up the stairs in the loft and shot the second person with a dart, being very causious. He smiled and drug the body from the room, down the stairs and out of the house.
"Good job, Lehiff. Put her in the back with the other body. Spike will show you. Lehiff nodded and walked around the back of the car to the trunk where Spike was stading, mask off and just putting the bound body of the first woman in the trunk.
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Lehiff asked Spike snarled and shot the man. He gave a sinister laugh and tied the second girl up, throwing her in with the other woman.
"Of course." He said before closeing the trunk. He walked around the side door and got in. "It's done. Lets get out of this dreadful place and go home." Spike complained, feeling angry. Baden smiled and motioned to the driver to drive off. He did as told and left quickly and quietly.

When she woke, her vision had blurred. Her neck was in excruciating pain. It took her a couple minutes but when her vision cleared she was no in her bed. She rolled her head to the left, a white scement wall. She turned her head to the right, there were bars, another body, and a table with a chair and fire place.
"Selene!" She looked up and Asia was the other body. Asia quickly crawled over to Selene and looked at her. "Are you alright? Are you hurt, dear? Is the baby okay?" Asia asked worried as hell. Selene looked down to her stomach, knowing she was still pregnant and not feeling any pain in her abdomine. She figured the baby was fine. Asia lifted Selene's head into her lap gently.
"I am alright. The baby is fine. Where are we, Asia?" Selene asked her best friend. Selene looked around a little more. She suddenly felt more pannic than she could think of. She started to breathe hard as she thought of the last time she had been in here. Asia helped her sit up and let Selene lean against her.
"We are in some kind of.." But before Asia could finnish Selene finnished for her. She knew this place all too well. Too many bad memories, to many bad things done in this spot.
"We are back in Germany. We are in the cells at Michael's father's home. We are in the same cell I was in." Selene closed her eyes, pushing the tears from the back of her head. She could not cry, she would NOT cry now. Not when her child and her bestfriend depended on her the most.
"How did they find us?" Selene could think of many many reasons how they could have found them but only one reason shouted out in her mind and in her conciousness loud and clear. Her father Gage.
"My father most likely. Why they waited this long, I don't know. But we have to find a way out. I know if I am this close to Marcus he probablly already knows that I am in trouble. He can sense it." Selene told Asia as they both stood, helping one another to balance. They were still dizzy from the darts. They must have caught them off guard and had been planning this. Usually they could sense ANY danger that came near them. But they must have let their guard down too quick. "No matter what we do... We have to leave before the war or this cell will be watched till no end. Then we are screwed." Selene said as she looked around for a way to get out.
The girls jumped when gunfire broke out coming from outside of the mansion. Selene and Asia were both wanting to get out even more. Instant groans and crys could be heard. The guy fire was outragiously loud and they knew they were in danger as well. A bullit came hurling through the window, breaking the glass and hitting Selene in her arm. She scream and Asia grabbed her, bulling her down under the window.

So what do you think for now? The ending kinda sucked? yeah. I know. The next chapter I think I'm gonna make it the fighting scene. I am TERRIBLE at that kind of thing. I'm more of a romance scene type girl. I dont read too much action,hehe. If you have ANY ideas or ANYTHING you did not like or did like about this chapter, feel free to share it. I love knowing how my readers feel.
