A Death Dealer & Lycan

Selene quieted Michael as they made their way to the club. Selene had been in a group of vampires known as Death Dealers and Michael was now the leader of the Lycans.

They had thought that Lucian was dead, because he had been killed by Kraten, the previous leader of the Death Dealers, and then destroyed completely by Viktor, the man who had turned Selene, but rumors had been circulating among the Lycans that he was alive and well.

There was also gossip that he had taken a young girl hostage and that the Day walker, Dracula, and group of two people known as the Night stalkers were on the hunt for Lucian and that they had met with Vanier Grant, Lucian's half-brother.

When they arrived, Selene gripped Michael's arm and he growled to the roof in question of entrance.

"Michael?" Thorne growled back down to Michael who growled back in greeting.

"Thorne, can you please let us in?" Michael had grown used to his new life and was fine with it as long as Selene stayed by his side.

Michael heard Thorne growl down to Hunter and then he heard the sound of locks unbolting and the door opened to a tired looking Hunter.

As Selene walked in she was greeted by Sydney, who led her back to her and Trent's room.

"I want you to see this, it's so adorable." Sydney opened the door and revealed Abby lying in King's arms, with her nose nuzzling the crook of his neck. King snuggled closer to Abby and she almost purred. Sydney closed the door and led Selene back out to where Michael stood talking to Trent.

"Hey, let's go rest." Michael said to Selene who nodded in approval. They walked back to Trent and Sydney's room and when Michael entered he growled at King slightly, making Selene look at him in question.

"He was a vampire, now he's a human." Michael explained his action while looking into Selene's illuminating blue eyes.

Selene smiled at him and smoothed his hair as he smiled back at her and she lay down. Soon she felt Michael's strong arms wrap around her waist. She turned to him and nipped at his neck where she had bitten him, making him a half-breed. He growled in pleasure at this and she smirked at this because she knew he liked whenever she bit him there.

Abby heard growling and turned to look over at Trent and Sydney's bed expecting to find the two there, but instead she found a Death Dealer and Lycan-Vampire half-breed holding each other and sleeping. Abby had heard about Death Dealers, and she also met one not too long ago.

Abby gripped King tightly and held her hand over his mouth as he yelped at her pinching, but Michael heard it and looked over at Abby. Selene looked at Michael and shook her head.

"We are friends of Vanier, Sydney, Trent, and the rest of the Lycans out there. Just everyone keep calm, we are very tired, please we have traveled far to get here." Selene explained to Abby and King. King nodded at her, but Abby got up and left, going to Blade and Drake's room.

"Blade, why in the hell is there a Death Dealer and half-breed in Trent and Sydney's room?" Abby burst into tears after saying this and Blade took her into his arms. Blade knew why Abby disliked Death Dealers and this was because they had tried to kill Whistler and Zoë once.

Blade heard King enter and he took Abby in his arms holding her and smoothing her hair down.

"Kitten, you have to forgive those who hurt you." King said to her and she looked up into his eyes and he was right and she knew that. She stopped crying after a minute and sighed.

"That Death Dealer killed the rest of the other Death Dealers because she never wanted them to hurt anyone anymore." King said explaining about Selene. Suddenly Selene came in took Abby from King, and walked her out of the room.

"I know why you hate me, but I want you to know I was the one who stopped them from hurting him and that young girl, both times." Selene said while standing in front of Abby. Abby nodded at Selene and the two embraced.

Selene felt a little better about this because it had been hanging heavily upon her conscious for so long and now that burden had been lifted away.

King and Michael stood in the hall way and looked at each other. They smiled at each other and then King spoke to him.

"My name is Hannibal King and yours is?" King asked extending his hand out to Michael who took it and shook it.

"My name is Michael, just Michael." Michael said and they looked at their women who were standing with their heads together facing them and still hugging each other.

"I take it that you're Abigail Whistler?" Michael extended his hand towards Abby who nodded at him.

"Yeah but you can all me Abby." Abby laughed and then so did the others. This was another great moment for Abby, a time to forgive and forget.

Abby heard a yawn and she looked at King with love. King smiled at her sleepily.

"Hey, Kitten, can we go back to bed now?" King asked her and she nodded at him and then jumped up into his open arms.

Michael took Selene by the hand and the group went back to bed. Blade looked in on Abby as she slept and he smirked.

"I know exactly what you're thinking, Blade." Drake said looking at him with a sincere and generous smile on his face.

"Yeah, I think you do." Blade said to him simply and they went out to get something to eat while Abby, King, Michael, and Selene slept peacefully in the room.

Later on

Abby opened her eyes to find that King's head was resting on her chest and she smiled at him with nothing but love and admiration.

Suddenly Abby felt as though she was being watched and looked to the door and when she saw a shadow she grabbed her throwing knife and moved from under King without him noticing and moved over to the door. She used her quickness to swing around the door and caught Mike between her arms.

"Why in the hell were you watching me?" Abby asked, her voice laced with anger and venom. Mike just smirked and tried to kiss her, only to have Abby put the knife to his throat and he then spoke.

"I see, you're playing hard to get, eh?" Mike in one quick movement slammed Abby against the wall and forced her arms up.

"You see, I always get what I want, so there's no use in fighting me." Mike said to Abby, who was trying to get out of his hold, but found it quite difficult. As he was about to kiss her again, he was pulled away and slammed to the wall.

"I don't think she wants you jackass." Selene spoke vehemently to him, making him stand and look at Abby.

"Thanks, Selene." Abby said after Mike had disappeared, and she nodded. Selene helped Abby stand and she looked in at the sleeping King.

"Are you going to tell him about what just happened?" Selene asked her and she shook her head.

"If he knew, not only would he kill him, but so would Blade and Drake. They would rip him to pieces in an instant." Abby explained and she nodded, but her eyes widened and Abby turned to look behind her.

"We would rip who to shreds?" Blade asked looking at her, but he knew even before she spoke that she wasn't going to tell him what he and Drake had just heard her say.

"Nobody, Blade, nobody at all." Abby tried to hide her fear of what had just happened but she knew he knew right away.

"You do realize that he will get the living hell beat out of him, don't you?" Drake said to her as he and Blade headed for Mike's room. She looked away and heard them kick down the door.

Mike yelled, but even as the others came to the back, Vanier looked at Abby and knew what Mike had tried to do instantly. Vanier held out his arm, blocking the others from going in. Soon the others realized too what had happened and left the hallway. King came out and saw instantly what was wrong.

"Kitten, he tried to kiss you, didn't he?" He said as eh began to cry into his arms and she nodded through the tears and he took her to the room.

"I'm sorry, baby." Abby said and he just looked at Abby, almost surprised by her words.

"Kitten, you never did a damn thing wrong, so don't apologize." King held her and then she calmed down after a while.

"You have to be strong for Zoë, remember that she needs you. I need you to be strong for me." King's words hit Abby so that she nodded in acknowledgement and then stood and looked at King, and he could clearly see that her face looked tear-stained.

"I will be, King. I promise I will be." Abby said and took his hand as they walked out the front room, where the others all sat waiting for whoever may come out first.

"Abby, are you feeling better?" Links asked her as she came into his line of vision and she nodded sitting down next to him. He hugged her tightly and then smiled at her.

"I have to say I'm sorry that Mike's such an asswhole." Links said to her and she laughed and nodded at him.

"Alright so, when are we going to go to New York?" Abby asked them and Vanier came forward.

"Our cars are all ready for the trip. So anytime would be fine with us." Vanier said to Abby, who then nodded in agreement. King came out of the back room and was wiping off a bat.

Before Abby even spoke, King looked at her and shook his head as if to answer her question before she had even asked it.

"He's not dead, yet." King then turned and made his way towards the door. Abby stood and followed him.

When she got outside she heard crying and when she got around the corner she saw King kneeling down and crying.

"King, what's happened?" Abby asked him and he just looked up at her.

"I can't be as strong as you." King said and Abby knelt down and held her King. She smoothed his hair and almost couldn't believe he was crying.

"Baby, don't cry, please don't cry." Suddenly a song came to her mind and she sang it to him to calm him down. It was by Relient K and it was their song after he had first told her he loved her and it was called "Be My Escape."

I've given up on giving up slowly, I'm blending in so
You won't even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

As she sang it slowly King looked at her and she smiled down to him and continued to sign to him.


I'm giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

King started to mouth the words with her and then just let her sing to him as she held him to her chest.


Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

Abby heard King starting to breath easier and she held his face in her hands, forcing him to look at her.


I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave

As Abby came into the last chorus he kissed her forehead and just sat next to her as she finished the song.


Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
You to be my escape.

"Thanks, Abby that was just what I needed." King smiled at her widely and she hugged him close to her. He stood and held out his hand to her. Abby took it and stood up with his help.

"Let's go and get ready to leave, okay?" Abby asked him and he nodded at her. He couldn't really tell her what had happened.

Flashback to a few Moments ago

"You're nothing to her, I hope you know that." Mike said to King, his face was bloody and his body was bruised.

"Fuck you." King said to him and raised his bat and hit him about 5 or 6 times. King walked out and felt a wave of hatred sweep over him, but he couldn't tell Abby what had happened. He just couldn't bear to see her crying or worse worrying over something that wasn't a big deal at all.

End Flashback

King shook his head and shoved the memory back far into the deepest depths of his mind, in hopes that it wouldn't ever pop up again.

After a few hours, the entire gag was ready for the trip. Outside, the SUV that Blade, King, Abby, and Drake came in was waiting hooked to the back of a large bus. As they all got on, Mike didn't come out and Abby looked at Blade and Drake.

"Where's Mike, guys?" Abby asked, making Blade just look at her and Drake growl at the mention of Mike's name.

Abby went back inside and went to Mike's room, and she saw that he was sitting on his bed and had his head down. He looked up at her and looked back down.

"Let's go, Mike." Abby had seen Mike's face and could see the bruises on his arms.

"I don't even think that I can walk, thanks to your boyfriend." Abby growled at him and then walked over and took one of his hands.

"Come on, I'll help you." Abby then continued to help Mike up and he nodded at her. He put his arm around her shoulders and winced as they walked.

Soon they arrived at the bus and Collin came down and took Mike from her and helped him on the bus. King stood looking at her and he shook his head. As she went towards him, he got on the bus and went to the room he was staying in and slammed the door shut. Abby walked in and sat by him.

"Stop acting like you are mad at me, King." Abby said to him and he looked at her, his frown broke into a smile and he kissed her on the lips. They fell back on the bed laughing and smiling at each other with glee. They soon fell asleep for they were at least a few days or so away from New York.
