Chapter 48:
-Selene's Tomb-
He got up laboriously and climbed the nearest ladder highly, that led at the surface. To his stuns it was already to dawn and he came out somewhere outside of the city close to a graveyard. A piercing smell of death entered his nose, however not the death of a human, being, but...
"Selene..." he whispered. He set off, through the small avenue directly to this old graveyard.It seemed, it hadn't any fresh graves there, as if he/ was abandoned, that showed the grave-care and as well the garden-care. The weed only proliferated and trees were shoot-y and mighty, however carried they only few green leaves. When he arrived in the atrium of the graveyard, he went straight ahead where he came to a big monument and also tombs. All were overgrown with ivy beside a smaller tomb, that only carried a seal with the Celtic cross, that Selene kept in memory of Lucian's fate.That has to be the tomb, where she rested in peace. he wanted to brake the seal with his right hand, as suddenly somebody spoke to him.
"I knew, that I would find you here, Mike."
"What do you want here, Zed? I'd like to be gladly alone if you don't mind."
"Actually, I only came past here by chance. Now and then, I patrol through this abandoned area to be sure, that nobody touches this tomb. Order from Kath."
"Who else."
"You sound not exactly happy."
"How should I."
"What happened? You didn't look like this, as you left the apartment this morning. Did somebody provoke you?" Michael let the seal loosely and turned around, so that he looked directly into Zed's eyes.
"Shut up." he hissed. "Stop with this bloody questioning or you are the one, that provokes me."
"All right, all right. you never have changed during the day, that's all."
"I kissed this girl, Melissa was her name... what happened afterwards, I can't remember it anymore...only at this hellish pain."
"Did you kill her?"
"No, there I'm quite sure about it but I guess I was short before to do it."
"I hope for you, that you can settle this matter tonight. Let's hear, what Erika has to say. It seems to be more than serious with you. I will go then, see ya later."
"Hey, Zed, would you send Alex to me? He had asked me, to visit his mother's grave."
"I will this."
"Thank you."
Zed nodded and strolled then wheezy through the yard in direction city back. Michael turned again to the entrance and took the seal with one powerful grasp into his hand and broke it open. He hesitated with opening the door.He didn't know, what expected him behind it, possibly only dust and her belongings, more he couldn't expect, after all a memory at her. He breathed deeply through and overcame to open it, but what expected him behind it he was petrified...
To be continued…
To die, is just a new beginning of life, but to be cursed with life of eternity, is unbearable without your love.
