Thanks for the reviews guys! One of my reviewers (can't remember the name) said that it was mean to make Selene have her sun allergy which gave me an idea.
Should I re-write this story, keeping this one up of course, and give back Selene's ability to walk in the sun? Include your answer in your review!
Oh yeah, would a female vampire get her period? That's the question of the chapter, lol.
Immortal Sunrise – Vamp Fight
Selene was on fire. Every muscle, every cell was on fire. The marrow of her bones seemed to scream in pain and her spine jerked upwards, pulling her chest with it. Her brain felt too big for her skull and her lungs too big for her rib cage. She couldn't bring in enough air, her wind pipe closing in on every breath she took.
Selene forced her eyes open only to squeeze them shut again in pain. Her fully elongated canines chafed her bottom lip and she could taste copper in her mouth. A guttural noise erupted from her throat, voicing her extreme discomfort. She wanted to rip her skin off, gouge out her eyes, anything that would stop the pain. Unfortunately those weren't options for her hands were bound over her head. Her feet remained unbound and allowed her to curl up on her side.
Uncontrollable sobs and cries of pain echoed within the room and quite a ways down the hall.

Michael paced in the living room of the once luxurious mansion. A good portion of it had been scorched by the fire Markus had set after awakening. Part of the mansion was still in good condition, a section completely untouched.
He looked up from biting his nails as a group of anxious looking vampires sprinted from one end of the room to the other on the balcony. They were moving in the same direction they had carried Selene. He sprinted up the stairs and stopped one of them.
"What's going on?" The vampire hesitated then leaned in closer, like he was going to share a secret.
"It's Selene." The vampire then sprinted to join the rest with Michael in tow. A sharp cry reverberated down the hall, putting everyone on edge. The group had stopped at the door to the room that held Selene, frightened of what was happening inside perhaps. Michael pushed through the crowd to the door and shoved it open.
Inside was a rather lavish bed on which Selene lay, hands bound and writhing, sweat rolling down her body. Surrounding the bed was Damien, the vampire known as Daniel and another female. Her name was unknown to him. They all looked up at him.
"What's wrong with her?"
Daniel shook his head. "We don't know."
The female raised a finger in protest, "Yet."
"What do you mean?" Michael's anger was rising. The woman shook her head, golden curls bouncing. That hair, it struck familiarity in Michael, and the eyes too. He'd seen her before. Selene howled.
Within an instant Michael was by her side, thumb stroking her cheek and whispering soothing but otherwise useless words. The woman looked to the other two male vampires and they in turn shrugged. Selene whimpered and tried to say something to Michael but he couldn't make it out.
"Shh, Selene." He untied the binds from her wrists and laid her arms by her side, but her immediately flung to her head.
"What, in this almighty universe, could possibly make her feel like this?" Michael asked.
"We are immune to all disease, so it can't be viral." Damien said.
"Psychological?"
"Selene is the most level-headed person I've ever known. The first person to go over the edge in – what – six centuries was Kraven. But he was always a nut-case."
"Yeah, especially considering the fact he was absolutely obsessed with Selene." The blonde growled. Obviously she had been jealous of Selene.
"Give it a rest, Erika." Ah, so that's what her name was.
"Well, she did drink Alexan-" Michael bit down on his sentence. They needn't know of the blood that was offered up to Selene.
"What?"
"Nevermind."
Selene's eyes opened to mere slits. "Michael…" She started hoarsely, then caught sight of Erika.
"What are you doing here?" She growled. Erika glared back.
"Oh, well I guess it never occurred to you that I might actually care for your well-being." Selene snorted.
"Yeah, that's why you helped me escape the mansion so I'd get in shit with Viktor and possibly be burnt alive." She spat.
"I knew you'd get out of it. You're Selene, Viktor's Dark Child and supreme Death Dealer."
The fight was on.
Selene launched herself at Erika, her momentum throwing them to the floor. Erika shrieked curses and pulled on Selene's chestnut coloured hair. Selene did the same to Erika's blonde hair though it was easier to grasp it because it was longer and she was on top. Both bared their fangs like they were comparing whose were bigger. Erika caught hold of Selene's slender neck and began to squeeze. Of course this wouldn't do much good because they didn't depend on air to keep them alive.
Michael went to separate the two, but Daniel stopped him. "Let them fight it out. If you try to break them apart they'll more than likely turn on you."
Selene promptly bit her hand and rolled off her. "Egotistical bitch!" Erika shrieked shrilly.
"Arrogant whore!" Selene quipped with equal hatred.
Erika, after Selene had rolled off her, seized the opportunity to gain the upper hand. Selene anticipated this and counter-attacked with a swift punch to the face. With Erika temporarily dazed, she grabbed her wrist and twisted them tight against her back. Erika struggled and the former Death Dealer twisted them harder. The said vampire leaned in close to her ear and growled.
"Associate him with me again and I'll rip your throat out." She hissed behind clenched teeth.
Erika swallowed hard.
Michael stepped forward. "Okay, Selene. You've scared the shit out of her."
"Have I?" She looked back to Erika. "Are you scared? Are you?" Erika nodded fiercely. With a feral snarl, Selene shoved Erika to the floor and stalked out the room.
"Whoa, she has anger management issues."
"PMS?"
"Both of you, just shut up!" Michael growled and chased after Selene.
