Okay- so I know I promised that I would have this up sooner and that it would be longer, but I lied on both accounts. I didn't want to cut the big battle scene in half, so I stopped here. But I promise that the next chapter will be longer.
As always, thanks to my reviewers, especially ElvenCompanion and MCLBLUE.
'Perhaps I can stop the Lycan attack,' Selene thought to herself as she marched through the compound attempting, unsuccessfully, to locate Michael.
'No, not even Michael will pull back when we're this close. Perhaps we can rethink the plan of attack to compensate for the Vampire's knowledge ofour coming strike.'
Storming up the stairs to the second level of the compound, Selene threw open her bedroom door and found Michael, laying on the bed and looking nonchalantly over the top of his book at her.
"There you are, I've been looking all over for you." Selene said with a touch of exasperation. Michael's eyebrows raised slightly as he took in her heightened pulse and temper.
"Really, why?"
"You have to convince Kahn to change our attack plan for tomorrow night."
Interested, Michael put his book down and sat up, his attention now fully on the agitated woman in front of him.
"Why?" The question was simple, but Selene had no idea how to answer it without sounding like she was crazy. Finally, she settled on,
"Because the vampires know we're coming."
"How, we took every precaution. Are you sure about this Selene?"
"Yes."
"Well who told you?" This was the question that Selene had been dreading. She said nothing, only looked down at the foot of their bed. Michael stood and walked towards her, his posture indicating that he was suddenly suspicious.
"Selene, who's your source," When this was met with only silence Michael's temper flared and he demanded, "where did you go tonight?"
The tone of his voice made Selene angry and she looked up in to Michael's suddenly very dark eyes. Her own narrowed as she hissed, "Don't you dare."
But Michael didn't budge and Selene sighed, already weary of this struggle.
"Michael, you're just going to have to trust me on this one. Please." When she said this, his eyes faded back to their normal hazel and he softly nodded his head. Selene closed the distance between them and embraced him, then quietly whispered 'thank you.'
Twenty minutes later saw them in a small meeting room with Kahn and Raze, explaining the situation. Kahn agreed to change the attack while Raze volunteered to inform the squadron leaders of the new orders. As the night slipped into the early morning Selene congratulated herself on a job well done.
'Now all I have to do is figure out a way to keep Michael safe.'
Again, I'm so sorry that this chapter was short and long in coming. Please read and review!
