Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot.

A/N: Ok, well, not as many reviews as I had hoped but the reviews I did get were absolutely great! Thanks so much to Reine de Nuit and SangreLujuria! You're reviews were greatly appreciated and if I could afford to send gifts, I would, but alas, I am but a poor high school student. Hope this is good enough to replace my would-be gifts.

"We should get going."

Those were her first words. She, though reluctant to do so, pulled away from his embrace and turned to walk away. She needed to regain her composure.

Michael panicked as he watched her walk away. I have to tell her something! She has to know! "Selene, wait!" He called to her as he rushed over. He grabbed her arm firmly, though not hard enough to hurt her, just hard enough for him to be able to turn her around to face him.

Then there they were. Face to face. Only a breaths distance from each other. He stared down at her softly. He was searching her eyes with his, looking for a flicker of something, anything. Then he did see a flicker something, but it was gone before he knew what it was.

"What?" She demanded, a bit harsher than she meant to. She just didn't like how vulnerable she became around him, how easy it was just to let her guard down and let him in. He made her weak, not that he knew it, nor did he do it intentionally, but that's just how it was. It was a strange feeling that she both loved and hated.

He froze.

"Well- I- see, the thing is- I mean- see, I don't know how to say this but-" He stuttered lamely.

Selene took a deep breath. "Michael, we don't have time for this. They are looking for us and if we stay here to long, they will find us and it won't be easy to escape. If it's that important, say it. If not, hold off until we reach somewhere safe where they won't find us."

He didn't say anything. She looked at him a moment longer before turning to leaving again.

"I love you." He said quickly.

She spun on her heel and cautiously walked towards him again, as if she wasn't sure she had heard him correctly.

"What did you say?" she asked meekly.

"I said I love you, Selene," he said, this time more firmly but with a gentle tone.

The look of impatience faded for a brief moment, a brief moment in which it appeared as though she wanted to say it back.

But she didn't.

The cold, steely looked return to her features and she stared at him for a moment longer, "We'll talk later, first we have to get out of here."

Michael sighed. He should have known it wouldn't be that easy. Nothing was ever that easy with Selene.

He grunted, then began to follow her down another hallway, picking up his guard. Ears pricked, eyes roaming, searching for any sign of movement. Though they had disposed of the immediate danger, he knew there was going to be more coming eventually. He still felt the need to protect her. He knew why, but he also knew she could take care of herself and would call upon him if she did ever need the help. He couldn't explain his over protectiveness of her. It was almost an instinct to him now.

"Where are we going?" He asked as the silence was broken. She was taking lefts and rights like she knew exactly where. 'Well of course she does! She used to living here dumb ass!' He silently scolded himself for doubting her. But he still wanted to know, He was about to open his mouth and ask, but was stopped short when Selene came to an immediately halt.

He looked around to see why she had stopped, when he realized that she was staring quite intently at the door in front of then. Almost like she was reluctant to go into whatever was in the room behind that door.
