Chapter 4: Return Of An Elder

I STILL do not own Underworld and do not claim to, so you cannot sue me! AHAHAHAHAHA! Ahem

Soon after boarding the ship, Michael and Selene retired to the room they were to stay in for the duration of the journey. Selene stood by the window and watched as fish and differant sea life swam by. The captain had only had a room below deck open when they boarded.

"Selene...ever since the encounter with that acid monster, you've been quieter than ususal...is everything alright?"

The vampire only continued to watch as the colorful fish swam by. Michael walked up behind her and sighed, wrapping his arms around her waist. Selene looked at him over her shoulder and then back to the window.

"I'm fine Michael...really...I'm just thinking about a few things right now..."

Michael put his hands on her shoulders and began to gently massage the tension out of them. Selene found herself leaning back into his hands and letting her eyes fall shut. Michael leaned down and kissed her forehead before moving his hands down her back.

"Michael...tell me something...why do you care about me so much..."

"You helped me so many times...you didn't abandon me...not to mention your beautiful..."

Selene smiled slightly and leaned her heand back on Michael's shoulder. The hybrid leaned down and captured her lips in a gentle kiss, turning her to face him. Selene wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes. Michael smiled into the kiss and pulled her closer, licking her lips, silently asking for entrance. Selene opened her mouth, letting his tongue slide in.

He growled in his throat and reached around her body, finding the zipper on her leather corset and pulling it down. The vampire slid a hand into Michael's hair, pulling his lips harder to hers. Soon, she felt the zipper on the front of her body-suit being pulled down as well, and her hands went to the buttons of his shirt. His shirt hit the ground as soon as her arms were out of the body-suit she wore.

Michael smiled when he had her completely stripped, and then removed the rest of his clothes, lowering her to the bed in the room. Selene's legs automatically went around his waist and her head fell back against the pillows as she felt the hybrid enter her. He pressed his lips to her shoulder and began to move in and out of her body, getting small groans from the vampire under him.

"Open...your eyes...Selene..."

She did just that, her eyes opened and revealed the ice blue color of a vampire experiancing extreme pleasure.

He smiled and kissed her forehead before pressing his lips to hers and allowing his tongue to once again invade her open mouth. Selene wrapped her arms tight around him, pulling him closer and moving her hips with his. Michael made love to the woman he loved all night, and they finally fell asleep around two in the morning, unaware that they were being watched.

The lovers were awakened by screaming from on deck. Selene stood up and dressed quickly, watching Michael do the same before rushing up the steps. Her eyes widened when she saw the source of the screaming, it was Viktor. Somehow the remaining vampires had been able to bring Viktor back to life, looking good as new.

"Vi..Viktor...but how...I...I killed you..."

The vampire elder turned to Selene and smirked at her, before slowly walking towards her.

"Indeed you did Selene. I layed dead for the longest time, until my fellow vampires brought me back from the firey hell I was experiancing."

"I cut your head in two...how could they bring you back from that..."

"Hmm...the coven has grown more advanced my dear."

Selene's eyes darted around the deck from Michael standing by her side, to the people trying to escape, and to the people lying dead on the deck, blood drained. Before she could make a move, Selene found herself being held off the ground by her neck, Viktor glaring up at her.

"SELENE!" Michael called, trying to go to her.

He was surrounded by the acid creatures they had encountered in the town before.

"You killed your father figure Selene...and showed no remorse for me. What kind of leader would I be...if I let that go unpunished?" he said tightening his grip.

Gasping for air, Selene said, "Did you show remorse when...you...slaughtered...my family..."

Viktor threw Selene into the side of the ship, cracking it and getting a cry of pain from her. He walked over to Michael and picked him up, hissing, and throwing him over the side of the ship. Selene stood, and looked over the side.

"MICHAEL!"

When there was no sign of her hybrid, Selene's eyes turned snow white, and she turned her attention back to the once-dead elder before her. Viktor was a bit surprised at her eye color, not sure what it meant.

"You killed my family..." she said stepping towards him, "you killed the man I love...and now...I'll kill you, and this time, you'll stay dead."

Selene's eyes narrowed with every word and every step she took. Viktor stood his ground until he saw the sun begin to rise over the horizon and he darted into the shadows.

"Oh Viktor...don't think that a little thing like the sun is going to stop me from killing you."

"If you get out in the sun...you'll die...just like me..."

Selene smirked as the sun rose completely, and she stood, perfectly fine, bathing in it's golden rays. From the shadows, Viktor's eyes widened and he vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving Selene to her business for the time being. She rushed to the side of the ship to search for Michael again, and saw him in his hybrid form, climbing up the side of the ship. Michael climbed over and growled, looking for the acid creatures.

"They vanished...along with Viktor." she said hugging him tight.

Michael turned back into his human form and held her close to him, kissing the top of her head and rubbing her back.

"He will die at my hands...just like before. And this time..there won't be anything left to resurect."

"Selene...he's gotten stronger."

"So have I." she said in a determined tone.

Selene stayed in his arms as the ship sailed into the sun, taking it's dead passengers along with it.
