A/n- I was excited to get all the reviews on this story…I was getting worried that some people had stopped reading it when I had taken a very long break to write a new story…Hehe! YAY! So I am happy to say that I am going to do my best to update as often as I can, between acting class, playwriting and dance…

Here is chapter…uh…7 I think…

Enjoy!

Chapter 7- How to Push the Restart Button

Previously- Selene raised her guns to fire when the first lycan stepped back with his hands raised.

"Don't shoot! We aren't here to fight with you!" The lycan kept his hands raised as he continued, "When our leader found out that the hybrid child was still alive, he sent us to protect you." He instructed the rest of his troops to drop their weapons and raise their arms in surrender.

"Protect us from whom?" Selene asked, keeping her side arm raised.

"From Marcus and the vampires…"

"They haven't attacked us in years…" Michael added.

"Only because they thought that she was dead." He told them, pointing to Meghan.

"Who are you?" Selene almost hissed.

Just as the lycan was about to answer her, Truman stepped out from behind Fiyero and stood in front of Selene's gun, "He is my brother, Chase."

The lead lycan looked at the young man with a questioning look on his face before realization struck him. "T? Where the hell have you been? We all thought you were dead!"

"Truman, there isn't time to explain now, Marcus is here…" Fiyero said, warily looking out the broken front of the building.

"Shit, Selene, we can trust him, he's my brother!"

She looked over at Michael and her still unconscious daughter and gave a small nod. "Fine, but we need to move!"

Chase ordered his men to form a protective circle around them and to keep an eye on all of the rooftops. He led the small unit to a parking lot three blocks away where three vans were waiting.

Adam got into the first van with Fiyero and Truman while Selene, Michael, and Meghan got into Chase's van. The last van held the rest of the lycan soldiers.

As they were driving away, Selene finally had the chance to fuss over her daughter. She pushed the girl's light brown hair out of her face and lightly brushed her hand over her cheek. It was a very sweet moment, Michael and Selene holding the child who was taken from them so long ago, but Chase ruined it.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but where should we go, to your estate or our base?"

Michael spoke up, since Selene couldn't seem to take her eyes off of Meghan, "Your base, Marcus will send people to the cottage tonight."

"Do you have a hospital?" Selene asked, a tear sliding down her cheek, "We need to know if they did anything to her and a hospital would be the best place…"

"Yeah we have a medical unit waiting on stand by."

"Thank you" came the quiet response.

Chase turned around and kept driving while Michael sat back and watched Selene with Meg. "I'm going to go up front and try to figure out why the lycans are helping us…who their leader is…okay?"

"Yeah…god she has grown so much…"

"Yes, I know…I'll be right back" Michael kissed Meg on the forehead and then Selene before he moved into the passenger seat. "So why are you helping us? I mean, 16 years ago you were chasing us down just like Marcus."

"Okay, no beating around the bush at all…first off, sixteen years ago we weren't chasing you. We were trying to find you to help you out. Marcus is the bloody bastard who wanted to kill you. Our leader wanted to help keep you safe, all three of you."

"Well who is this leader of yours…if he wants so badly to help us, who is it?"

"He told me not to tell you. He wished to explain himself in person."

"Right…" Michael and Chase sat in silence for a while until Chase asked,

"So where exactly did you find my brother? He's been missing for so long…we all thought he was dead."

"We found T in a place much like the one we were just at. He was like 17 years old just like Fiyero was. They were both extremely mal-nourished and heavily sedated like Meghan.

"We took them into our care and trained them. For a while though, they went missing again…looking for you. They came back after three months and worked to become two of our best fighters. He and Fiyero have really become friends. The only major difference between them is the Fiyero accepted his new life with Selene and me, but Truman always had this 'look'…like he was longing to be somewhere else."

"He was only 5 when they took him. Our pack looked for years, but the trail went cold when we got here. That was when we met our new leader and joined him and his pack." Chase explained.

"Well…that helps a lot with understanding Truman. He actually knew his family and remembers what it was like in your pack. Fiyero was much more like Meghan, getting taken away when he was just an infant; the records we found said he was six months old. He never knew anything of his old life…that's why he took so well to this one…"

Michael said, finally realizing how alike Meg and Fiyero really were. Though, he now felt sorry for Truman, getting taken when he was a young child and getting to know his family first. It hurt him to think of how crushed T felt when he couldn't find Chase.

"How old was she?"

"Huh?" snapping out of his thoughts.

"Meghan, how old was she when they took her?"

"Oh…she was just about a month old…" Michael tried his best not to tear up, but whenever he told the story, a few always managed to slip out. "We were staying with Adam, the Hybrid with the glasses. I tried to save her, but the humans were ready for me. A few days later, we left to look for her. Meg's birthday is in a week and a half…seventeen."

Michael turned away from Chase and started staring out of the window, and then he looked back at Meghan. "God, it's been so long. I can't believe I missed that much…I mean her entire life."

"Yeah, it seemed like that with Truman. We never really knew what happened to him, whether or not he was alive. I guess…" he paused as looked at his hands on the wheel, "I guess you kinda feel relieved, you know. You feel happy that they seem to have turned out alright, but you dread ever having to tell them what happened." Chase explained.

He felt the same way the Michael did, overjoyed that he found his brother, but had they been separated for too long? Chase continued, keeping his eyes on the road "I mean, how are we supposed to get to know them? We miss such a large part of their lives, are we expected to make up for that?

"I guess it has to be worse for you with Meghan since she was so young, but what about T? All the things that I don't know that an older brother should: his favorite color, food, whether or not he still love that turtle show…Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or is he too old for that?"

Michael let a smile creep onto his saddened face and said, "Green-Pasta and Meatballs-I've caught him watching it from time to time at like 2 in the morning."

"What?"

"Truman, his favorite color is green, favorite food is pasta and meatballs, and I think he still likes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

"Whoa…um, okay thanks." Chase paused for a second. "I'm sorry it's just kinda weird that you know all of that and I don't."

"Its fine, you still knew about TMNT. He watches it because I think it reminds him of the time he spent with you. He would still love to be a part of your family. Truman would give his left arm to get you know you again."

"Why the left?"

"Because he writes and shoots best with his right."

Chase laughed, "Thanks, but what about that vampire, are you totally sure we can trust him?"

"Who Fiyero? Of course, Fiyero is as loyal as anyone. He grew up with Truman. He was like Meghan, never had a family or he didn't remember. T became his family when they were being held together, when Selene and I came and got them, that bond stayed strong."

"So Truman is really 'friends' with that vampire?"

"No…" Mike laughed, "Are you crazy?" He saw Chase relax a little, "They are more like blood brothers. Fiyero always went with Truman to look for you because he didn't have anyone to look for. I only hope that your family will be as accepting of Fiyero as Truman was."

Chase's grip on the steering wheel tightened as his mind debated over what Michael had just told him. "I'll talk to the family about it. If T can trust him like that, then I think we can 'learn' to…oh we are here!"

The three vans pulled up in front of a large apartment building in the abandoned part of town. (How original!) It was an old brick building with all metal fire escapes and some boarded and cracked windows. Honestly, it didn't look all that inhabitable to Michael, but both he and Selene could sense a large mass of lycans.

She hopped out of the side of the van, followed by Michael who was carrying Meghan. Fiyero, feeling all the eyes of the lycans on him, went over to stand with them.

The lycans knew not to trust vampires; the fact that they were helping Selene was a testament to how much their leader must have trusted her. Truman stood with his brother and a few cousins he had met in the van.

A young lycan, around the age of Truman, came out in his human form and quietly gave Chase his orders. "Michael, you can follow Logan to the medical floor and stay with her as long as you like." He told Michael, turning to Selene, "Selene, our leader would like to see you." He watched her closely, waiting for her to refuse that order and go with Meghan.

"Take me to him…" she answered, very much to Chase's surprise. "Michael, don't leave her side…when she wakes, give her space."

"I know Selene, just go and find out who this mystery leader is. I won't really talk to her about anything 'important' until I have you with me." He said, waiting for Selene to get going.

She took a few steps following Chase, but hesitated and looked back. "Just go, we'll be fine." He assured her. Michael was happy to see this side of her, a more sensitive, motherly side.

Selene walked away; following Chase with Truman following close behind as Michael walked in the opposite direction. Logan gave Fiyero an untrusting look that was followed by Michael giving him a warning growl.

He turned and continued to lead them to the Medical floor when Adam came running up behind them. "I looked away for like a minute and everyone was gone. Trying to get rid of me!"

"Obviously it isn't going to work…I guess we should stop, shouldn't we Fiyero." Michael answered jokingly.

A/N- There it is! Hope you all like it…me? I have to go get some wooder ice! (water ice)
