Night had passed and day had come. Michael, still very much awake, was
passing around in the entrance room. He had a feeling that this day was
going to pass very slowly.
He changed into his hybrid form for no apparent reason. Because of his hybrid speed, Michael could go back to Lucian and check on him, and then be back again in almost 30 seconds. (The extra 29 would be spent checking on Lucian.)
He made up his mind and was about to leave until he heard Selene turn in her bed then put her feet quietly on the ground. In his hybrid form Michael could hear this with ease, but he quickly changed back to human form and picked a random spot by the wall to sit.
Selene came into the room and looked to see Michael on the floor staring back at her.
" Did you have a good rest?" Michael asked innocently.
" Yeah, I guess" Selene replied, in a way that was like she was almost holding something back from him.
" What happened?" Michael asked alerted as he saw Selene flinch at something she was probably remembering from one of her dreams.
" Nothing" She said coming back to reality. She turned and walked toward a hallway but stopped. It took her a couple of seconds to realize Michael was holding onto her arm.
" Selene, we are in this together. You can tell me what is wrong and I will help in anyway I can." Michael said firmly but reassuringly.
Selene felt the warmth coming from his hand but kept her gaze forward. She new Michael could help her and in some part, wanted him to, but she felt like such a weak human lately and wanted to handle this one her own. But she new in the back of her mind she couldn't stop what was coming for her.
" Selene" Michael said firmly. Selene turned around with what looked like a tear in her eye. She looked at Michael. Before he could say anything she pulled her arm and away and went over to a wall. She punched it hard enough for it to dent, (vampyre strength). She turned around and slumped down.
Michael looked at her with her knees up to her chest and her head hung low. She was sobbing a little to. He walked a step closer to see if she had any reaction. When nothing came accept more sobs he walked over to her and kneeled down next to her. He noticed her fist was bleeding. He put his arm around her back. She tilted toward him then let her head fall on his shoulder.
She put her arms lightly around his waist. She wanted the warm feeling he gave her.
Michael put his free arm under her knees and took her to the bedroom. When he was there he placed her down on the bed. Then he sat down on the side of it not really sure how to react. He heard Selene move and he turned to see that she had made space for him. He was actually kind of tired though he did not let it show. He couldn't remember the last time he had slept.
But he took Selene's offer and laid down facing her. He put his arm around her waist. Selene came closer to him. She put her arm over his shoulder and came close to hug him. Michael moved his hand up to her back to hold her close.
They stayed like this for a while. Actually for a long time. They both fell asleep eventually. Michael was the first to wake up.
Slowly but surely he got up off the bed without stirring Selene. He went to the entrance and opened the hatch door as silently as he could. It was nighttime. Knowing this made him sure that Selene would not slumber for long. He went back to the bedroom and stood against the wall.
Michael looked to a stand by the bed and read the green numbers on the clock. They read 11:30. If Selene did not wake up soon then they would be late for meeting Raze. But he did not care. Selene was the most important thing to him at this point. Nothing else came close to the importance of Selene's well being.
Only 15 minutes had passed until Selene's eyes opened. She saw Michael standing next to the wall. She sat up.
" Shall we go?" she asked with certain ease.
" Well I guess... are you okay to go?" Michael wondered, remembering Selene's emotional outrage from earlier.
" Yeah," Selene said with a sigh, " I am fine"
" Okay, so I guess we are going then?" Michael questioned, still wanting to make sure that Selene was okay with all this.
" Yeah, let me just take a shower" Selene said as she got off the bed and headed toward the dresser for a fresh leather suit.
Michael walked toward the reloading room and grabbed two of Selene's favorite guns. Then he noticed different size trench coats hanging on the wall. He remembered from when he changed into a hybrid earlier that his shirt had ripped. Then he remembered that the lycan's always wore coats for that same reason. He took Selene's trench coat and one for him self. Perfect fit, he thought to himself as he put it on.
When Selene came out of the shower she got dressed and noticed her trench coat neatly folded on the bed with her two guns fully loaded and some extra cartridges next to them on top of the coat.
" I thought you might want them" Michael's voice came from behind her.
" Thank you" She said, actually sounding grateful.
Selene turned and saw Michael had a new pair of pants on and a trench coat over his bare skin. His hair also looked wet.
" There was another shower so I decided to take one" Michael said seeing Selene's confused expression and explaining.
" Oh, okay, well, Shall we go?" She asked.
" Yes lets" Michael said turning and starting to walk toward the entrance.
" Michael..." Selene called after him.
" Yes?" He said turning around with his trench coat whipping around him as he did so.
" Thank you, for what happened before. I really appreciate what you did and are willing to do for me." Selene said looking down. " You know you don't have to... protect me I mean."
" You are welcome, and yeah I know, but I want to. How could I not?" Michael said smiling in a sexy way as he turned and walked to the entrance
" Selene smiled as well knowing that she was loved by someone that she wanted to be with. And knowing that Michael was there to catch her when she fell, reassured her that maybe, just maybe there was hope
" C'mon Selene!" Michael called from down the hallway. Selene put her trench coat on and grabbed her guns and their cartridges and started to run after him, for once thinking good thoughts...
Mwuahahahahahahaha. Hehe, somewhat mushy chapter but for all of those who want them to kiss do not fear! Fluffy goodness is on its way! Maybe in chapter 5 or 6 it will happen! I haven't decided yet. Thank you for reading this and remember, reviews are greatly appreciated. TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN!!!!! Well got to run, please R&R and I'll talk to you later...
