Chapter 6

''Jesus Christ!''

Michael had just been told about Thorne's plan to end the war, and the Stone.

''What are we gonna do?'' Michael continued.

''I'm not sure.'' Selene replied. ''To end the war is what we've always wanted, but not at the cost of other peoples lives.''

''What about...the baby?'' Michael asked. He still needed to get used to the idea of being a father, let alone losing his child already.

''She- or he would become a Hybrid. The baby wouldn't be harmed.''

''But you would.''

''Yes.''

Both Michael and Selene sat in silence for a while. ''W..we won't decide anything until the baby is born. That gives us some time.'' Selene finally added. She hugged Michael, and lay down on the bed. Michael sat on a chair, by her side, and drank the glass of blood. Minutes, later, he fell asleep in the chair.

After a few hours of rest, Michael and Selene were awoken by Thorne. ''C'mon you too! Breakfast is ready.'' Thorne led them into the main dining area, where the table was filled with glasses of blood. Selene grabbed a large glass, gulping down her first meal, then sneakly taking an extra glass. Just as she put it to her lips, Thorne pulled her to one side. ''Have you told him yet?'' Thorne questioned her eagly.

''About the baby? He found out.'' Selene told her. 'This woman is starting to get on my nerves with this' Selene thought. ''He knows about the war too. And the Stone.''She continued.

''What!'' Thorne said in shock. ''How do you know about that!''

''That doesn't matter. All that does- Arrrrgh!'' Selene screamed in agony. A large puddle of water formed around her feet. Selene dropped her glass, causing it to shatter on the floor,and clutched her stomach. The pains were getting worse by the second, blindingpains, straight through her body.

''Michael!'' Thorne yelled across the room. ''Selene's in labour! Her water has broke!'' Michael ran to Selene's side, pushing people out of the way.

''W...What do i do?''

''Stay here, i'll get help!'' Thorne ran off into the laundry room,to get Melania. Meanwhile, Michael helped Selene onto a nearby couch, making her more comfortable. Thorne returned, with towels in her hands, Melania carried a hot bowl of water, while Orchid carried in a cold bowl of water.

''Why is she in labour so early?'' Michael yelled over Selene's screams.

''The Lycan gene. It has made the baby develop faster, as it is Hybrid.'' Melania informed everyone.

''Ok, i need people to leave the room, C'mon, give the girl some privacy.'' Everyone left apart from Melania, Michael and Thorne.

Hours later, Selene finally gave birth to a Hybrid girl. As she was half-Vampyre, she was born half dead. ''N..now what?'' Michael asked Melania frantically.

''Now..we bring her back to life.'' Melania dipped the child in and out of the two water bowls, raising her heart rate.

Suddenly, piercing screams fluttered throughout the room, and the baby was passed to Selene. The child had Icy blue eyes, just like Selene, and a handful of dark hair. Michael cradled both Selene and his daughter in his arms, and as a tear of joy streamed down his face, a look of fear spread over it, as he realised about the life-changing decision he and Selene needed to make.
