Once again I am sorry for the long wait. I plan to update more now so don't worry. Ok...
Azira Morrgaine Vida Thank you, and yes the situation is quite the same. I checked from the movie before I wrote it and he did say 'at war'. But with his accent I could see how you would get it confused.
Undying Love
After the scuffle in the common room, Aubrey led Selene and Michael to a room as Raze went back to his lab. Everyone was silent as they went up the stairs. Michael wondered what Selene was thinking. Was she proud of him? He hoped she was. He knew he loved her. He, Michael Corvin loved a vampire named Selene, a beautiful woman he knew very little about. But Michael didn't care. Love is love and he wasn't prepared to deny that.
Selene stole a glance at Michael. She knew he cared so much for her. She hated it and wanted it at the same time. No one had ever shown her that kind of care before. But she needed to stay cold. Emotions could get in the way and she knew that. And yet she found herself wondering why his girlfriend left him. She remembered being in his apartment and seeing the pictures of him and his girl friend. Why would she leave such a caring person? Before she could start to answer this question, Aubrey stopped. Selene had realized that they had gotten off the stairs and were now at the end of a hallway. There was a door opposite the railing. Aubrey opened it.
"Welcome to our luxury sweet" He said proudly, pushing a black strand of hair out of his face.
Selene was the first to step into the room. It was very spacious. There was a heavy black curtain covering the only window. There was a bathroom with, Selene assumed, a shower. A closet was next to it. There was a bureau and a desk. There was also a canopy king size bed. Selene noticed that everything in this room was black, the walls, the doors, the canopy bed. But it wasn't a normal black. It had a certain glow to it. And there were black roses everywhere. But Selene still didn't get it...
"Didn't you already give us a bedroom?" she asked.
"That was just until this one was ready...Don't worry your things have already been moved up here." Aubrey answered. He looked back and forth between Michael who was looking at Selene, and Selene who was looking at him. "Well I'll leave you two alone." He smiled and did a slight bow. Then he turned, and jumped over the railing, landing on his feet below.
Michael walked into the room. Selene just stood where she was. She leaned down and picked up a rose. She took in its intoxicating scent. She soon came back to reality though and saw Michael was fingering at a bookcase. Selene dropped the rose. She walked over to the bureau. She opened to small drawer to find her guns and a couple cartages of ammo. She opened some more drawers and indeed found their clothes and the rest of the cartridges. Selene figured that by showing Aubrey and Raze that they had only brought the bullets specifically engineered to kill vampires, that they had won their trust. But Selene still thought that they should have brought some of the silver nitrate ones...just in case.
Selene turned around to see Michael sitting on the bed looking down, his long strands of blonde hair covering his eyes. Selene knew she had to keep things between them cold but she couldn't help but pity him. Though he had shown leadership before, Selene knew he was still very lost and confused. Here was this normal mortal who had been unluckily chosen to be brought into the crossfire of an age-old war. Not only was he just brought into it...he was a huge part of it. And here he was, new to everything, and expected to bring the lycans to victory? She couldn't even begin to imagine what he was feeling right now.
Selene's hard eyes softened. "Hey," she started. His eyes met hers. For once she was glad to see him showing affection, as apposed to him breaking down. "Are you okay?"
"Selene I don't know what to do. I have never even punched a guy before all this happened. I'm not strong like you..." he trailed off.
Selene sighed. Pep talk time...She was debating whether to talk the confidence into him, or to just train him. She wasn't sure which would be easier. She remembered when she was new to the coven. How hard it had been to keep up with all the death dealers. But she wanted to be a death dealer, they were the only ones who actually went out and fought the lycans. But she just wasn't that good. Then she met Khan. He helped train her up and got her ready. And then she went so far past his expectations. Now it was her turn to do that for Michael. Besides....She was never good at pep talks anyway.
"Well then," she started as he looked up again. "I guess I'll just have to make you."
"Make me what?" he replied.
"Strong...like me" she said, staring into his eyes. Just by looking him in the eye she could tell he had spirit, he was independent, strong, and wouldn't be put down easily.
Michael stood up. His confidence renewed. "Here?"
Selene couldn't help but smile slightly. "I'm sure they have a training room somewhere..."
And they did. It was huge and spacious. It took up almost the whole bottom floor. There was a fighting ring, a small gun range, a weight room, and punching bags. There was also a weaponry room off to the side. Selene could only guess that the lycans had matches with other lycans and got to use weapons. There were all kinds of assortments of weaponry, ranging from maces, to whips, to guns. There was a great deal of many swords too.
Aubrey was down there, beating the crap out of a punching bag. He paused momentarily to see who entered. When he saw it was Selene and Michael he stopped, waved briefly, and then walked over to the gun range, which had a divider between it, and the arena.
"Ok" Selene said with a sigh. She had no idea where to begin. She thought him battling her without warming up wouldn't be fair. She walked over to a punching bag. She took of her leather trench coat and threw it to the side. Underneath it was a leather tank top, which Michael had never seen before because she always wore her trench coat. She took off her gun holsters and looked to Michael.
Michael followed her lead. He took off his trench coat and threw it to the side, revealing his shirtless chest and abs. Selene wasn't sure but she could have swore he went very quickly from a four pack to a six pack. She quickly diverted her gaze before he noticed though.
"Alright. Lets start with the punching bag." Selene said.
Michael took to the punching bag right away. He was a quick learner. He punched it and kicked and added some extra moves to try and impress Selene. He found after a while he was in his own little world, just him and the punching bag. Soon even Selene disappeared from his world. He took out every emotion he felt with the punching bag. Sometimes when he was done, his fists were bleeding.
Finally the day came when Selene felt he was ready to fight her. She decided hand to hand combat would be best to start off with. It went well at first. Selene was amazed at how swiftly Michael moved in his hybrid form. He was there one second and gone the next. She found it hard to focus on where he was because he moved so swiftly.
Michael moved behind Selene and tried to punch her in the back. She turned around and blocked it. The she punched him in the eye and then knocked his feet out from under him. Then as he was falling she kneed him in the chin and Michael flipped backwards. She hesitated when he didn't get up. Did she take it to far?
Michael quickly got up. He was mad now. Before thinking about what he was doing or who he was fighting, he backhanded Selene with all his strength. She went flying into the wall. Michael's hard eyes softened as he heard something crack.
Michael, now in human form, ran as quickly as his injuries would allow over to Selene who was just started to get up. She had a huge cut on her cheek, not to mention injuries in her back. She turned her cold, ice blue eyes to Michael. Once she saw him she backed away from him in fear. Michael was shocked. She was actually afraid. And it was all his fault.
" Selene! I'm So Sorry! I could see what I was doing but I couldn't stop it! Selene! I'm Sorry!" He yelled to her in sorrow. Did he just ruin everything?
Selene seemed to snap back to reality. She touched her cheek. When she looked at her hand there was a big line of blood on it. She looked at Michael who looked back at her, his eyes full of concern and sorrow. Him throwing her into the wall wasn't the part that scared her. It was his eyes. His eyes, even though they were naturally black in his hybrid form, they were full of darkness and hatred, which allowed him that much strength. He had tapped into his true hybrid power. Something she never wanted him to do. Once he turned down the path to that kind of darkness and hatred, there was no turning back, and she would lose him forever...
But what scared Selene most was that he looked at her. His anger was all directed at her. What had she done to make him snap? All she knew was that she never wanted to see Michael look at her like that again. It scared her so much. Before she knew it, she was leaning forward and hugging him. And he was hugging her back.
Aubrey heard a loud crash and threw open the door. He saw Michael and Selene, on their knees hugging. He also saw a huge dent in the wall. Shit! He thought. Must have taken some real power to make a dent that big! But Aubrey could tell that Selene and Michael were having a moment. It looks like they are okay anyway...He slowly closed the door and left them alone.
Selene, still hugging Michael, felt her eyes change back to their normal hazel color. She heard Michael mumble something about being a moron. She felt blood mix with a single tear run down her face and land on Michael's shoulder. She felt him slid an arm behind her legs.
Michael picked Selene up and carried her back to their new room. All the while she held onto him and never let go. Once back into their room, Michael laid Selene on the bed. He was almost convinced that when he put her down she wouldn't let go. But she did. He walked over to get a chair and then pulled it next to the bed. He felt her eyes on him the whole time. But before sitting down he fixed up her cuts. But she could not meet his eyes. This left Michael very confused. But he just kept on going. He decided to think that Selene was a very confusing person, and that you could never expect anything with her.
When he was done with her, he wrapped his hands, which were bleeding. On the way up he punched several walls. He then sat in the chair he pulled up to the bed and red a book until Selene fell asleep. When she did, he quietly slipped out of the room. He meant to go for a walk but he found himself back in the training room. He walked over to where Selene hit the wall. He touched the dent and flinched. He walked out of the arena to find Aubrey talking with Jared, the lycan he found fighting before. Michael started beating on a punching bag.
Back in the room, Selene was just waking up. She looked to the chair but Michael wasn't there. She touched her cheek. She peeled off the bandage to find the cut was just another one of her scars. She walked over to the lab top on the desk. She turned it on. She found one icon that said "Security Cameras". She double clicked it. She went through image after image and found the one she was looking for. Michael was in the training room as she had suspected. From what it looked like, he was taking his anger out on the punching bag. Suddenly with one angry kick, the punching bag went flying off the chain, linking it to its stand.
He must have been stupid! How could he have left himself hurt her like that! Michael felt like such an idiotic moron. She would probably never trust him again! He remembered how badly her head was bleeding. How dare he hurt the woman he cared for?!?! He got really mad at himself and he kicked the punching bag. It went flying across the room and landed forcefully on the ground a few meters away.
The punching bag caught Aubrey's attention. He dismissed Jared and Walked over to Michael. "Not bad for human form." Michael didn't look at Aubrey. He just stared at the punching bag. Aubrey heard him mumble something about being sorry about the punching bag.... and the wall.
"So let me guess...you and Selene were fighting, you got mad, and threw her into a wall. And now you fell like an idiot, and you don't think she'll ever talk to you again..." Aubrey said.
"Yeah that's the short version. I'm just really mad at myself for hurting her. You should have seen her face when she saw me walk up to her after...she looked terrified. In all the time I've known this woman, I've never seen her scared...at all. She's always so in control. It hurts real bad to know that I made her that scared that easily...I just..." Michael trailed off as he kicked another punching bag off it's stand.
"Ahh, It's not your fault. You know why she was that scared?" Aubrey asked, trying to stop Michael before they didn't have any more punching bags. Michael just shrugged. Aubrey went on to explain how Michael had tapped into his true hybrid power. Michael slowly began to understand. He went on beating the crap out of the punching bags and when he was done three more ended up flying across the room. Having all of his rage out of his system he decided to go check up on Selene. He went up the stairs, skipping every other step.
He opened the door to find that Selene wasn't in the room. But then he heard the shower going. He walked over to the closet and pulled out the first aid kit. He unwrapped the bloody wraps on his hand and replaced them with new ones. Then he walked over and found the computer was on. He looked and saw it was the images of the camera in the training room. He looked on the keyboard and saw a drop of some sort of liquid. He wiped with his finger and smelled it. It had a salty smell, which indicated it was a tear. Michael felt his guilt seep back into him. Suddenly he heard the water stop. He walked over to the bed and sat on it. He leaned back and sighed.
Selene stepped out of the bathroom. She saw Michael lying diagonally on the bed. He sat up and looked at her. Their eyes connected. Michael stood up and walked over to her.
"Selene, I'm so sorry, I di-" Michael was stopped as he found Selene's fingers on his lips.
Selene had no idea what she was doing. She saw what she was doing but she couldn't stop herself...She leaned forward into Michael. She brought her hands up around his neck as she connected her lips with his. Michael brought his hands around her back and pulled her into him. He pushed his tongue into her mouth and found that hers connected with his...
BUM BUMM BUMMM! The long awaited kiss. I knew you were all gonna rip me apart if I didn't do it soon but I had to build up to it! This was longest chapter I've written so far. It took me a while to edit it and get it just right...Yeah so there ya go. We are all gonna see a big change in Selene now. But is she doing it to protect Michael from the darkness inside, Or does she really have deep feelings for him? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!
