The Plan
Michael and Selene sat together and waited for the sun to fall behind the trees. "Are you ready?" asked Michael. Selene shifted in his arms and said, "I don't know if I'll ever be ready for this, Michael." Michael was concerned about Selene's attitude. "Why would you say something like that? What's wrong?" Selene turned to him and said, "I just don't think things will turn out well. Tell me, how can you be so optimistic?" "Because if I wasn't I would be acting just like you. Faith, Selene, just have faith." Selene got up and walked to their dresser. Michael knew he hit a nerve when she began slamming everything around. She quickly got changed and said, "Hurry up. We don't have much time. I'll wait for you outside." Selene walked out and slammed the door. Michael shook his head and said, "Please let this night go smoothly." It was at times like this that Michael wished he could have the old Selene back. They used to be so close, but as the years went by, they grew apart. Selene's attitude got worse as each year passed. I hope this changes when we get Yura back, I don't know how much longer I can take this. Michael quickly changed and met up with Selene in the hall. "It's about time," said Selene speeding off in front of Michael.
They walked into the armory and were met by Amelia, Crash, Oviedo, and Julia. Julia was another vampire who had joined them in the war against Marcus. She was a highly skilled doctor and spy. She would also help them this night. All of the vampires knew Selene was in a mood, because she walked into the room before Michael and didn't greet any of them. "Hey," said Michael greeting them trying to make up for Selene's attitude. They all nodded in reply and knew that they would be treading on thin ice.
"Time to load up," said Selene without emotion, "What's the plan?" Oviedo stepped up and said, "Since we're not really sure what we're dealing with I have come up with a new type of bullet." Oviedo pulled a gun, released the clip, and handed it to Selene. Selene looked closer at it and noticed that there were two different sections to the bullet. One was a florescent blue and the other, liquid silver. "Okay, this is just like your typical bullet. It loads and shoots the same way, but this bullet is equipped with both the U.V. technology and the liquid silver nitrate. It's extremely effective at killing vampires, lycans, and humans. So that means no friendly fire; one hit with these and game over. Also, we need to be extra careful not to hit Michael or Yura, these are a one-way ticket to a painful death, even for someone of your strength Michael." Selene looked at Michael and actually looked worried for a moment.
"Okay, that looks good," said Selene, "Amelia, what's the plan?" Amelia stepped forward and walked to a screen on the wall before saying, "Here's a map of the prison. As you can see," said Amelia pointing at the screen, "there are five main levels to the prison, four above ground and one deep under the surface. Yura is most likely to be held in the bottom level and therefore we can't get her there. We'll have to wait for the execution to start." Amelia brought up a different screen and said, "This is the courtyard, they will most likely hold the execution here where everyone can see. Since this is such an important event, many death dealers will be there so the north gates should be open; we should have no problems getting in. Once we get inside, we'll need to fan out and wait for Yura to arrive. I know that it will be hard just standing there, but we must attack until I give the signal. We will be far outnumbered and a premature attack can cost all of us our lives. Once I give the signal Selene, you will need to make your way to Yura and free her. Michael, help Selene and defend her. Crash, Oviedo, Julia, and I will take care of the rest. Then we'll need to get out of there fast. We'll have medical supplies in the van just in case, I don't think we'll need them since she should be able to regenerate." Amelia stopped and waited for Selene's approval.
Selene shifted her weight and then said, "Sounds good. Let's get packed up and ready to go." Amelia stopped Selene and said, "There's one other thing, Selene." "What's that?" asked Selene. "We're not for sure, but we've heard rumors that Marcus will be there." Selene stood in silence. Everyone waited for her response before moving. "Can you take care of him?" Amelia hesitated before saying, "I can hold him off, but I cannot defeat him. At this point I don't think any of us can." "All I need is time, can you give it to me?" said Selene impatiently. "Yes," answered Amelia.
Selene nodded and said, "Well let's get going." They all grabbed their guns and packed the van. Within ten minutes, they were ready to go. "I'll drive," said Crash as he grabbed the keys. "Great," said Michael, "Just keep in mind that I would like to arrive there in one piece please." They all shook their heads as Crash jumped into the front of the van as Oviedo, Julia, and Amelia got into the. Michael started into the back when he was pulled off. He turned and met Selene's lips. When they parted Selene said, "I'm sorry." Before he could answer, she was in the van. Michael wasn't sure what happened, but he knew Selene had let go of whatever he did earlier. He was glad though because he knew he did not want to go to battle with her holding a grudge against him. This would be the ultimate test and he needed her on his side.
