Michael, Spike, and Baden dropped dead, bullit holes in their heads. Selene looked around and ran over to Marcus, hugging him. Asia carefully stood up, useing a tree to steady herself. Selene and Marcus held onto each other. Marcus and Selene closed their eyes, just as Marcus put his hand on Selene's stomach. Selene started to cry. She didn't know if she would ever live.
Lucian hurried over to Asia and helped her stand. She smiled as they looked into each other's eyes. Asia smiled and held onto Lucian. He blushed a bit and held onto her, looking over at Dorian and Viktor who walked closer. Viktor was amazed to see Selene and Marcus together... with a little something extra with the whole package.
"Selene, my child..." Selene froze, her eyes snapping open. She turned slowly as Marcus let her go, having a feeling of what was going to happen. Selene looked at the old looking Viktor. She gasped and Viktor smiled. "I see you have been busy." Viktor smirked. He opened his arms and Selene ran over to him. She held no grudge or anything against him. He did nothing wrong but give her a new life so she would not suffer without family. She still did but she now, looking back, felt it really was for the best. Selene hugged Viktor tight. "I am so very sorry, child. I was going to tell you everything but I had forseen something great. I had to let you believe all of this." Viktor informed Selene. She nodded and hugged him close. Her god. Her sire. Her father.
"Father... I have missed you. I am so sorry." Selene felt ten years old again in the arms of the man she called father. Viktor's heart seemed to beat again as he heard the word from her mouth, Father. The only name she liked calling him except in public back when it was not right.
"It is alright. Do not apologize. I understand. I forseen it all. Do not fret, Selene. Please, be happy. Your half brother here resurected me useing your father's powers and brought me back to help him help you." Selene pulled away a bit and looked at the man who really did look like similar to Selene. But he had a stronger jaw and had hazel eyes, with a red tint, not brown like hers. Other than that, the shape of the mouth, the nose, and the shape of the eyes and hair as well was VERY similar.
"Selene, I am sorry what our father has put you through. I have always never been like the family. When I heard of his plans, I knew I had to help. So I did. You do not diserve his treatment." Dorian apologized for their father's actions. Selene nodded and hugged him without warning. Dorian waited a moment, not sure if to hug back and did.
"Thank you... borther. I am forever in your debt." Dorian smiled and huged her close. Selene really was very much like him. In many ways, they may be different sexes but they still were family and they really did think alike. They let go and Selene walked over to Lucian and hugged him. "You really are the best!" Lucian laughed and had to let go to Asia and let her rest on the tree and hug Selene.
"Anything for you and Marcus, Selene. You know that." Selene smiled and kissed his cheek. "Besides, It is good to have you back. You must have did something to him, he was bothering me for a while after you left about messes and things. Talk about being a woman." Marcus punched his friend playfully. "Ow, bad arm. I'm kidding." Selene laughed and pulled away. she walked back over to Marcus and hugged him.
"Come. Lets go back and get what rest of the men and woman we have and get home. We all have been through a lot. Let us get some rest." Marcus suggested. He looked to Dorian. "You are more than welcome to come back if you would like." Dorian smiled and nodded.
"I would like that, Thankyou, Marcus." Marcus nodded and gave Selene a gentful sqeeze. "We should get that bullit out too. It might not heal right." Dorian said as he eyed Selene's arm. Selene looked at her arm and nodded. The group walked back and did what the could to get back quickly.

"Oh how much I have missed my bed." Selene said climbing into her bed. She really has missed that bed. She had so many memories with it and it kept her warm and comfortable on the coldest of nights but still oddly enough kept her cool on the hot nights. Marcus smiled and pulled her close to him.
"It has missed you as well. It is not the only thing that has missed you." Selene smiled and kissed Marcus. They had not felt the company in so long. They cherished this more than anything. "Come on now. Let me see it. Please." Marcus said nibbling at Selene's lip. Selene sighed and pulled her shirt up, showing her growing stomach. Marcus smiled and put his hand ontop her stomach. "Our child is growng in there." Marcus was thrilled. He smiled and leaned his head down, kissing it. Selene let a couple tears fall. It was a sight she had wanted to see ever since she had been getting big. Marcus came back up and kissed Selene before settling back into bed, keeping his hand on Selene's stomach.
"So what do you think of Asia and Lucian. They seemed to be getting along VERY well tonight." Selene laughed. Marcus nodded and smirked as he closed his eyes.
"Ah, yes. They seemed to be enjoying each other's company tonight. I think there might be more than one wedding in store for the coven soon." Selene looked at Marcus as he rolled over, grabbing a box and handing it to Selene. They sat up and Selene took the box. She opened i and in it was a neclace that was black diamonds, small black peals, laced with beautiful silver. Selene smiled and put the neclace. "Will you marry me?" Selene smiled and nodded. She kissed him and hugged him. In their coven they did not give rings, they gave neclaces. Had to be rare and nothing like ever seen. This was VERY much rare and nothing like anyone has ever seen before.
"Now, lets get some rest for tomorrow." Selene suggested. Marcus nodded. They laid back and laid in the arms of each other and quickly fell asleep. They had to rest. They did not want to in a way because they had not seen one another in months but they needed to rest. Today had been such a long day for the both of them.

"I understand, Viktor. I promise. I always felt something was wrong about that. Somewhere in the pit of my stomach that was wrong about you supposedly killing my family. I never truely believed it for one second." Selene reassured Viktor as they sat in the main room. Viktor smiled a little and hugged Selene. He got up and walked away. There was much to be done. Since Selene went to America, Marcus and Lucian were able to get a new home for them. It was a mansion, bigger than Ordoghaz. It would never even compair to the new home.
"Selene.." Selene turned her hair to see Asia walked out of one of the main hallways with a bandaged leg and arm. Selene stood up and walked over to her friend. "I did not think you would be awake yet." Asia smiled and hugged her friend. Selene smirked and nodded, giving her stomach a small pat.
"I woke up early and I had a talk with Viktor." Asia nodded and walked up the steps to one of the main halls on the third floor. With Selene's help she was able to get up safely. "Are you alright? How are you feeling?" Selene asked Asia as they walked down the hall toward their destination.
"I am feeling fine. With Lucian's help and your friend Mistoffelees, I am on my way to recovery. Mistoffelees said the bullits did not do much damage but enough so that I can't heal for a week." Asia turned down a hall, Selene followed closely, making sure Asia was alright.
"Marcus had told me he took those bullits out. Imagine what would have happened if he had not taken them out earlier." Asia huffed and nodded giving a small laugh. Selene smiled and turned in a door and down through another hall, walking up apair of steps to the forth floor. "Oh, Marcus has asked me to marry him. I said yes." Selene moved her shirt a bit, showing the black and silver clad neclace. Asia gasped and hugged her friend.
"Oh Selene thats great! I am so proud how well you are getting along." Asia wrapped her good arm around her bestfriend and continued to walk with her. Asia and Selene were become very close within the last couple of days. They agreed on a lot, they thought the same, and they could both throw a powerful punch. They used to train together in America all throughout the early stages of the pregnancy.
"What do you think of Lucian?" Selene asked, eyeing her friend out of the corner of her eye. She could tell her friend was blushing. Selene had a thing for telling when someone was either infatuated with another person or had taking a liking to another person and this was one of the times she could sense it a lot.
"He is... He is nice. A fine Lycan in my view. A nice man as well. Do you think he happens to look a little like jesus?" Selene stopped and grasped onto the wall to keep herself from rolling over and dieing from laughing so hard. Asia had not heard Selene laugh like this is a long while. Asia laughed, "What? He does.." Asia trailed off waiting for her friend stop laughing. Selene covered her mouth and continued walking.
"Oh man thats something that never struck me. But you are right he looks a bit like Jesus." Selene had to bite her bottom lip hard to keep from laughing. Asia pushed her gently and playfully with her arm as they walked into a room, where Marcus, Lucian, and Dorian were sitting and standing talking and discussing things for the mansion. Lucian heard the chatter and looked up.
"Ah, Hello girls." Lucian stood and gave his seat to Selene. Selene pushed the chair back and shook her head.
"Sit. I am fine." Selene and Asia laughed and stood, Asia leaning against the desk, and Marcus wrapping his arms around Selene from behind letting her lean on him. "So what are you three chattering about?" Selene asked looking over the blue prints for the mansion.
"Some of the Mansion needs to be fixed. As well as some more needs to be finnished and the rest is yet to be added." Selene looked down at a tunnel that seemed to run under the ground and off the page. She ran her finger at it and looked at the men.
"Whats this for?" Selene asked looking back and forth wondering what it was. Marcus let go of her and moved the blue print and changed to another one. There was a tunnel under that one as well leading to something.
"Well, Lucian thought it would have been best if we have a tunnel just incase someone were to attack and the woman had to go free. You would come here," Marcus said pointing to where the middle of the tunnel. "You would close the door here, set the bomb, and blast it. that way no one could follow where the tunnel lead to." Selene nodded and stood back.
"Alright. I have to go see Mistofelees. He promised to take a look at the baby for me. Marcus if you would like to come you can. But I must go now." Marcus smiled and put an arm around her. "I'll take that as a yes." Selene laughed and kissed Marcus gently. Marcus kissed her back and then looked to the men.
"Keep going over them. I will be back. I have to tend to the mother of my child." Selene smiled and they walked out of the room and down the hall. Lucian and Dorian started to talk to Asia about what she thought of the plans. They had big plans for the coven. There was not going to be a hybrid clan. The only Hybrids now where Selene, Marcus and their child and thats how it was going to be. They were starting a coven with vampires and Lycans. A coven where there was no conflict. Where they could all live and not worry about what each other looked like. Vampire or Lycan, they were still immortals in the end.
