ElvinCompanion-The truth will be revealed soon so keep reading. I'll try to update more often, but the end of our first trimester is coming and I'm crunched for time. I'm glad you like it!
When Michael and the others arrived home after the hunt the first thing he did was ask for Selene. He was told she was waiting for him in the library, so that's where he went. Upon arrival Michael knocked on the door. There was no answer so he went in… and found Selene asleep on one of the many sofa's that occupied the large room lined with books. Michael only smiled and shook his head, crossing the room to sit on the edge of the couch by Selene. He loved watching her sleep. But, this time, her face was shadowed with something…anger? Fear? Michael wasn't sure but he didn't like seeing that shadow on Selene, so he reached out to her, hoping to brush it away. He chose the wrong moment, however, because just as he touched her she jumped awake with a scream.
"Selene!"
"Michael…" she sounded relieved but still she buried her face in her hands.
"Selene what's wrong? Why won't you tell me about this nightmare?"
"Because it-" she broke off with a little shake of her head.
"What?"
"When I was a little girl my father used to tell me not to repeat bad dreams, because if you do you give them power over you."
"Why didn't you just say that from the beginning?"
"Because, it's silly."
"It is not silly. We should remember everything we can about our loved ones who leave us. It isn't right that they be easily forgotten."
"You're right." Selene said with a smile, before standing and stretching.
"Where do you think you're going? I haven't finished our talk yet."
"I was thinking about going for a drive. I'd kinda like to be alone for a little bit."
"Alright, as long as you're careful."
"Michael," Selene said with a groan, "I can take care of myself."
"Promise?" he asked, wrapping both arms around her.
"Promise." She confirmed, before falling in to his kiss.
Ten minutes later found Selene driving down a one way street to the docks, mentally apologizing for lying to Michael. She hated doing that, she really did love him, but she had to think of something to tell him so he would let her out of his sight without suspicion. It looked like there was only one way to get the answers she was desperate for, and that way was waiting for her on dock number twelve.
Well, that's all for this chapter. Sorry about it being so short, and for the ending, but I'll try to update soon. Promise.
