It was raining now. Soaking everything through and through bouncing from one surface to another it was as if there was just a rippling curtain shaking across the world. Selene had given up trying to force Nicholas to see a doctor, what would she care if he died? Although oddly enough he was looking healthier by the second and the bleeding had stopped. It was uncommon to see someone heal so fast, it was possible but highly uncommon; the bullet must have missed any major vessels or arteries she had mused to herself. A crackle came from her hip, '-bzzt!- Sel..ne, are ... in pos..ion? –Bzzt-' she couldn't tell who it was but it could only be one of 2 people. The weather was so bad now that the signal from the walkie talkies was severely disrupted, that was bad enough but even with her vampyric vision she could barely penetrate the wet darkness, of course this would make things much more difficult but it was not the time or place to worry about such things, focusing on the action was more important than anything else at this point.
-Crash-
Thunder and lightning rolled across the sky giving a brief moment for her to see the building. Sitting in the middle of the street in front of her a quiet marble skin reflected the light from the lightning brilliantly, it would daze most people if they had glanced in its direction at the right time.
-Crash-
Selene's shadow flew through the brightness thumping on to the police department roof at the same time as the thunder, she began sliding on the gravel due to the sheer force of the jump. Stones quickly began to fly up cutting at her skin as she neared the trip wire. The trip wire was here for just such circumstances and she knew it. Selene jumped up and flew forward straight over the wire in front of the door.
"What's taking her so long?" Nicholas grumbled to Michael.
"How am I supposed to know? She'll be out when she's good and ready," Michael quickly snapped back "even though I could done it easier.." he quickly mumbled to himself. Time seemed to stop, no sound was heard no light was seen, just the endless downpour of rain. A blanket soon to be shattered.
A snapping sound slashed through the slashing of the rain and light quickly shot through the darkness creating a passage in to the dry hollows of the police station. Standing in the doorway Selene quietly beckoned for the 2 of them to follow her in. Racing through the 2 men slid in and slowly closed the doors behind them. Somehow she had managed to disable the alarm system. 'Maybe this is what took her so long?' Michael thought to himself until 10 feet later a body lay still in a pool of blood in front him, as if he was there it all began to play out in his mind blurring his vision for a moment until it re-focused on Selene getting to the rooftop door.
As if he were a part of Selene he pushed at the door, but his will wouldn't allow it to open until he felt the feelings that weren't his own boil up from within and without his control he smashed through the door with his foot. His mind filled with the scent of human blood and his lust for it began to focus on where each person was. He moved in to get closer, drawing him to the stairwell that would have taken Selene to the main door. It was in the air, the smell of fresh blood spread throughout the building, it was intoxicating and was starting to cloud her senses. All she could think of was feeding.
She quickly reached the bottom of the stairs and then she saw it, the dead body that Michael had seen, the blood was pooled all over and then she noticed more blood, bodies of police officers lined back in to the main office. It was only then that something even more bizarre hit her, not only were puncture wounds on the neck but there were huge chunks of flesh pulled out. Had the Lycans and Vampires started to work together?
Michael suddenly returned to his own body, Selene was standing watching his blank look, critically examining him she brushed it off and went back to what she was saying it seemed like it was a soft whisper just loud enough for them to hear. He was only hearing the odd word or phrase, "In the back room..." His mind was trying to work out what had happened, was this some kind of strange connection that they had formed over the last few years that they had been hiding, he had never heard of such a thing, but he was new to this whole immortal situation, anything seemed to be possible in this world, a world apart from that of normal humans. Refocusing he heard the last of the conversation; "that way, we may find more than one from each side and if they're working together get out of the way." Selene was talking to Nicholas at this point who was nodding in agreement, what reason did he have to get in the middle of a fight between immortals, he may be killed between them.
He headed to the back of them and slowly followed behind them, creeping silently across the laminate flooring next to the line of blood that seemed to lead the way. It was time for him to disappear, seven vampires and three lycan were in a small room gorging on their meal it was if they didn't notice that the creature next to them didn't exist.
Swinging down behind a vending machine Selene pulled out some guns shoving one in Michael's hands she loaded one of her guns with silver and the other with the liquid UV bullets. She nodded. It was time to kill. Suddenly she dived out from behind the machine and opened fire, within seconds cover fire came from behind her and half the group fell to the ground, one lycan dead and four vampires burning up from the inside out. There was no need to wait for them to die and before they could reload the guns were tossed from their hands. Two vampires stood in front of them, the corridor was thin luckily and the 3 behind them were fighting to get ahead to enjoy their next meal.
She turned to Michael and winked, this was a game to her, and one that she had enjoyed for many centuries, it was time to get what they came for and these things were in her way. She barely gave the vampire in front of her time to blink, she slammed the bottom of her palm into its nose, the bone was broken with ease as if it were a china tea set, seconds later she had her hands on either sides of its head, she snapped its head sideways breaking its neck, that was all she really needed to do. Charging ahead she saw Michael transform, he was ready, the vampire threw a punch towards his face but just before the fist reached him he shifted his head to the side and shot forward like a cobra biting in to the vampires neck, it barely took ten seconds before it was drained dry. He ran next to Selene and between the two of them they snapped one vampire's spine. All it left were the two lycans. They were just staring, ready to pounce. Ready to kill. One lunged towards Michael but he was ready for it. Effortlessly he ripped the jaw from the bottom of its mouth. While at the same time Selene was stabbing the other repeatedly in the gut and face, it was probably dead long before she stopped. It didn't matter, she didn't care, it had got in her way and now it had been dealt with.
Stepping over the bodies she called to Nicholas who quickly rounded a corner shouting. Quickly spinning round she threw a disc towards him, as he ducked it split open revealing four blades, it didn't take long for them to find their target, and with deadly force they implanted themselves into the face of the lycan. It slowly slumped to the ground, there was no way it would survive more than a minute.
He was already in the office scanning the computer, although he wasn't sure what he was looking for. Selene shoved him out of the way, they weren't looking for anything, not here anyways, there was no point, she quickly tapped in a distress call stating that the precinct had been attacked by a gang and that officers were dead and sent it out. "Michael in the trunk there's a bag get it and be back as soon as possible." There was no point arguing as he was gone she quickly threw a body near the computer to make it look like he had been there and downloaded as much material to the hard drive as possible before depositing it in her pocket. Michael came back and before he could speak she told both of them to get out. All they saw was a stern face, which was all that was needed, Nicholas and Michael went back to the car and before long saw Selene following. Within seconds there was a huge explosion, the building had gone up in flames. The people weren't ready to know of immortals, it would happen soon but it could be postponed. For a short time anyways.
