The Vampyres had been tracking Selene and Michael for two days since Viktor's death. Actually, Michael was just following Selene. She was lost and confused at the present situation. Her beloved dark father was dead. at her own hand. But he lied to her. For over two hundred years she had been lied to. She was killing the wrong ones. She was killing the innocent. not the evil. She found herself in the woods that she had intended to end up in. She had to get to the hideout so she and Michael could rest. Michael looked up at the full moon. He was not surprised that he was not changing into his hi-bred self. There was to many questions buzzing around in his head for him to realize that he was now immortal. But mostly he was just worried about Selene. In the short time he'd known her. he'd never seen her so lost. It was like she was searching for purpose.

Finally Selene had found what she was looking for. she turned around and brushed past Michael and moved the dead leaves around on the ground until the hideout door was reveled. As she opened it she looked at Michael. He was just standing there looking at her. " Are you going to get in or not?" she said to him with a certain annoyance in her voice. but it was only to cover up her scared voice. Michael snapped out of his daze and jumped down the hole. Selene came down after him, closing the hatch door on her way. From there she led the way down a tunnel leading to a bedroom. " This is one of our hide outs when the Lykens are on our scent. It should be safe for now. Now get some rest." Selene ordered him. Michael knew he wouldn't get any sleep. " Where do we go from here?" he questioned. " I'm not sure." Selene honestly replied. Even though she was trying to hide up her nervousness in her voice Michael could see her fear in her eyes. " Your scared." he questioned further. " No I am just thinking. Now get some rest" she defended Michael was not really in the mood to argue so he just laid down on the bed with out even bothering to change into the clean clothes Selene had laid out for him. Later on Michael awoke to a start. The visions of Selene's past when she bit him were hard to cope through before but now they were unbearable. He decided he was to awake to go back to sleep. He walked into the tunnel he and Selene had entered in and found her asleep, sitting on the floor. He picked her up and carried her to the bed he had been laying not to long ago and placed her in it. Then Lucian's words flashed in his head. " Lykens were the day time protectors of the vampyres" He decided he would protect Selene, and who knows? Maybe he'd even try to bring some humanity back into her. This was the only way he could think of to show his affection for her. and be useful at the same time. He had a deep affection for the vampyre and wanted her to know that. Selene rolled over in the bed and Michael decided to go protect the entrance. He had to protect Selene and if anything was going to come in. it was going to come in from the entrance. Silently he waited. for something to happen. But nothing came.
