Chapter One: Memories.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Underworld, only the movie and the comic…so yea.

Selene pulled away from Michael and looked into his eyes, shocked to see her hybrid alive and well. The sun beat down on her for the first time in hundreds of years.

"Michael…I thought I'd lost you…"

"You did for a while…but I heard your voice and was revived somehow…"

She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest. He held her close to him and ran his hand up and down her back, avoiding the large hole there from Markus's attack. William, Markus's lycan brother, lay beheaded on the ground, and Markus was strewn about in millions of pieces.

"C'mon Selene, let's get the hell out of here."

Selene nodded and walked with him out of her former home. As she emerged fully into the sun, her eyes closed on instinct. Michael placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"Doesn't it feel good to be able to see the sun again?"

"Yes…it's been so long…I welcome the warmth again." she said gazing up into the sky.

The vampire let a sigh pass her lips and then looked around, thinking of something.

"Selene?"

"I just realized….we have no way off this island….since Markus kind of destroyed our ride….and my family had to be stupid and build the house in the middle of an ocean…"

Michael laughed a bit and looked around for any means of transportation. His eyes landed on a small boat down by the water.

"What about that boat?"

"That thing was there when I was a little girl….it may not even run anymore…"

"It's worth a shot….don't you think?"

"I suppose."

Selene walked with Michael down to the boat, and as soon as her feet touched the ground of the small beach-like area, her mind was bombarded with memories from her past. She grew a bit dizzy and leaned against a rock as she saw herself and her sister frolicking in the water as children, without a care in the world.

"Selene? Are you okay?"

She shook her head and then smiled a bit at Michael, to try and ease his worry, if only a little bit.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just remembering some things from my past, that's all." she said reassuringly.

"Okay…" he said beginning to examine the boat, only to find a large hold in the bottom.

"Well…it has a hole in it…but I can fix that with some wood and nails…"

Michael then left in search of lumber and nails to mend the vessel and allow them to escape the crumbling castle that Selene once called home. She let herself lean back against the rock once more, as more memories flooded into the vampire's head. She saw her mother, father, and sister swimming in the ocean beside the house, and saw herself sitting on the shore, watching.

Selene closed her eyes as the vivid memory switched from that scene, to a scene of her and her sister running through the underground tunnels of the castle. The two of them laughed as their nanny tried to follow them, failing miserably. Selene was jolted out of her daze by the sound of nails being hammered into wood. Michael had returned and began to mend the boat.

"This shouldn't take me very long, and then we can get out of here…" he said as he nailed the wood into place.

"My only question…" Selene said handing him another piece of wood, "Is which way do we go once we're on the water…"

They hybrid stopped hammering for a minute and looked up at the vampire standing by his side.

"Hmmm…good question…."

Another memory suddenly assaulted the ex-death dealer's mind, and she smiled. The memory this time, was one of her going into town across the ocean with her parents.

"Never mind….just leave the navigating to me."

Michael nodded and finished fixing up the boat with a smile. He looked at Selene and held out a hand to help her in.

"We should get some things from the helicopter…like weapons, food, blankets, that sort of thing."

"Okay…your right on that one." he said going back to the chopper with her.

Selene gathered a bag of weapons, guns, knives, bombs, and anything else she thought could prove useful. Michael got a large duffle bag full of blood packs and another of blankets and coats. They loaded the bags into the boat and pushed it into the water.

"Okay Selene, which way."

Selene looked around the vast ocean and then smiled.

"Just go towards the sun, we'll hit land in a day at the most."

The hybrid nodded and turned on the boat's engine, sending them off towards the sun. Every now and then, he stole glances at the vampire across the boat, staring down at the water.

"Selene….are you alright? You're not acting like yourself…"

"I'm just…thinking…that's all. I'm fine."

Selene looked up at him and sent him a small smile, before moving closer to him in the small boat. He smiled back and kept them heading towards the sun.

"So…what's in store for us now?" he asked, a bit concerned about their future, if Selene would leave him alone.

"I'm not sure….to be honest, I have no clue what is going to happen to us now….maybe we'll still be hunted….or maybe we can have a normal life…who knows at this point…"

Michael let out a sigh, and suddenly, bullets were raining down on them. Selene looked up, and hissed. She pulled a gun from the bag and aimed at the boat following them.

"Michael…can this thing go any faster?"

He nodded and put the boat into high gear, the force of speed almost knocking Selene from the vessel. Once she had re-gained her balance, she aimed the rifle, and shot, hitting the driver of the following boat. She cursed as a new driver took the wheel.

"Try and get us behind them!"

Michael nodded and maneuvered the small boat behind the following one, and Selene took aim once more. She aimed again and fired, her bullet striking the engine of the boat.

"Now get us the hell out of here!" she called to the hybrid at the wheel.

He nodded and sped off towards the quickly approaching land in the distance. The boat behind them chose that moment to explode, sending bits of metal at them. Selene ducked as did Michael. Soon, their ship hit land, sending both of them flying out of it and onto the sand.

"Well…at least we landed on something soft…" Michael said with a small chuckle.

Selene rolled her eyes and looked at where they had landed, and her eyes widened.
