Selene just stared at Jean. "What do you mean you don't know? You're supposed to try them before you make dozens." Selene replied angrily.

"Markus told us how much to use and how many we might need." Jean said while handing her a gun to put the round into.

"And how many would that be?" Selene asked.

"About three at the least and seven at the max." Jean replied while turning back to get another gun for Selene and another round.

"Why are you giving me two guns and two rounds of this new mixture?" Selene asked suspiciously.

"In just in case there's more than one serpent and you miss." Jean said worriedly. "But according to those who've survived your bullets, you never miss especially when being attacked."

"You've got that straight and don't forget it. How long until we leave?" Selene asked viciously.

"Next sunset because it's almost sunrise we wouldn't be able to find it and fight without getting burned." Jean replied as if she were the new commander instead of Markus.

"Tell me, have any of you seen this serpent from a distance?" Selene asked the vampires and lycans that were in there.

"No none of us have, the ones that have are dead." One of the new warriors said but he looked like a lycan from her point of view.

"Why can't the lycans search during the day and us at night?" Selene commanded.

"Because we don't have enough lycans on our side to do so, and how could we possibly get more when they all hate Viktor?" Jean asked angrily.

"Simple I know who now leads the lycans." Selene pronounced.

"Who is that?" Jean asked curiously.

"Michael Corvin." Selene announced proudly.

"He's a hybrid how could he lead the lycans?" Three of the warriors asked.

"Because he was a friend of Lucian." Selene spit out distastefully. All of the warriors looked at her with fear since they all knew now that the new leader of the lycans was in their lair and could possibly kill them all in their sleep. Just the thought of it wanted to make Selene laugh, but she held it back so that they would not find her cruel and unusual. With seeing their faces she left the way she came and went upstairs to find the room empty and no Michael. Selene automatically searched the room for any signs that could help her find where he went, but then Selene walked to the door and looked both ways. She still couldn't find him, so she went back into the room and laid down on the bed and waited for him to come back.

After hours of wandering on the street, Michael decided to head back to the mansion that he came from and has Selene in it who was probably getting ready for bed since it was almost dawn. Michael started running back to the mansion suddenly feeling an urge to be by her side, that he's never felt before and it was scaring him alittle. Michael finally got to the mansion a few minutes later, and then he ran up the stairs to the room that they are sharing and found her laying on the bed asleep. He walked over to the bed and picked up Selene as if she were a baby and pulled the covers back and put her underneath them. Then he walked over to the closet and made a bed on the floor, and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Selene heard the door slam open then closed gently but was too exhausted to open her eyes to see who it was. She heard the footsteps come closer to her and then was picked up as if she were a fragile child with no problem at all. Then she felt the coldness of a sheet, which she assumed, was under the comforter that she fell asleep on waiting for Michael to get back. Then was covered with the sheet and the comforter. She heard some closet doors opening, and the rustling of blankets on the floor, then she heard the footsteps fade away until she heard the shower running and her popped open to see who it was. Selene threw off the covers and walked over to the bathroom door as silently as she could, and she peeked in to see Michael with his shirt off which made her blush and she turned around to walk to the bed. Michael must have heard her since he came out of the bathroom as soon as she made it to the bed.

"You're awake. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." Michael apologized.

"It's ok, I didn't mean to go to sleep, and I was waiting for you to get back so that we could talk about a few things." Selene said nervously, all she wanted to do right now was kiss him even though she shouldn't because they haven't even been on a date together. As if Michael could read her thoughts he walked over across the space between them and grabbed her waist then slowly moved in to kiss her. The kiss was amazing in her mind she didn't know what her body was doing but all the sudden her arms were around his neck and he started deepening the kiss. They stopped kissing when a knock at the door and they got up with Selene already heading for the door to see who it could be. She opened the door to find Markus there.

"Selene is Michael here to talk to?" Markus asked unsure of what to say.

"Yes he is, one moment." Selene said moving out of the door to let Michael through to talk to Markus.

"I would like to talk to you Michael in private will you come with me to the private library after you put a shirt on?" Markus asked proudly.

"Yes, I'll be out in a minute." Michael replied while going to the bathroom and shutting off the water and put his shirt on. Then headed back to the door and saw Selene with a sad and confused look on her face, and he walked over to her and gave her a quick kiss before leaving to go with Markus. "I'll be back before you wake" Then he left through the door.
