Alternate Ending:
The sun, the warmth, the pain, the blood. Images playing through my mind. Being slashed, and being caught. Waiting for death to take me. Waiting in the darkness, never to rest. Then everything begins to return. The dream, the fight, the pain, the fall, and the rescue. Everything came back to me, even Michael's words.
You told me you'd never let me die to end the war. So I won't let you die. You've fought Lycan's for six centuries, so I'll be damned if I let you die by the hands of one. You can't go, I won't let you forfeit your life. I refuse to lose you, Selene. I love you.
The sun's rays begin to wake me. My eyes slowly open. I see my surroundings had changed. I find myself back at the farm. In my bed, my home I had missed terribly. Immediately I try to rise, but pain spread quickly through my body. Then I realize my bandaged body. Neatly, and tightly wrapped all over me. I tried to lift one of my arms, but I found it to be constricted by something. I tighten my grip, seeing if I could tell what stopped me.
I was answered by a reply grip and movement. Michael raised his head from the side of the bed. Immediately he smiled, breathing a sigh of relief. "You're awake."
I slightly nodded, and soon regretted it once the pain returned. "Have you...stayed...the entire time?"
"A good majority. You had me scared to death. How're you feeling." He asked.
"I've been better." Once again I tried to rise, this time Michael helped me. Slowly, I sat up, leaning against the pillows behind me. It was then I noticed many things; used packets of plasma, bandages, and a new length of my hair.
"Take it easy. After what happened, you shouldn't be moving too much." Michael said.
A stray lock of my raven black hair fell over one of my eyes, "How long have I been like this?"
Gently, Michael tucked the lock behind me ear, but his hand still stayed by me cheek, "A long time. About seven months. I thought I'd lost you at one point."
I carefully brought up my hand and placed it over the hand on my cheek, "You would never allow that to happen. And for that...I owe you my life."
Michael gave a small laugh, "I think we're even actually. All the time you saved my life."
To my displeasure, a tear fell from my eye, and then another, and another. Each one landed and the sheets of the bed. Before I could stop, I was silently crying in front of Michael.
He brought his head closer and placed his forehead next to my own. Gently he took in a deep breath and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Taking in a deep, staggering breath, I replied, "After everything I said, and all I did to prevent to, you still fallowed me. You fought that lycan with no question of your own sake. You endangered yourself for me. Why?"
"Because of you. You were the one who saved me from Lucian the night I was bitten. Any other Death Dealer would've killed me, but you didn't. When I was injured you saved me. I didn't save you to repay you. I saved you because I love you Selene. I've never felt this way about anyone, but you." Michael answered. He looked deep into her pale blue eyes.
So I heard him correctly. My shaking hand tightened its grip on Michaels. I returned to look in his eyes. My breathing steadied and my tears stopped. Words escaped me. I wanted to tell him my thoughts, yet they wouldn't come.
Michael sensed this, "Whether your feelings are the same or not, I will always be by your side. I won't let you go through these things alone."
I couldn't control my feelings one moment longer. I leaned forward and kissed him passionately. Again the tears began to fall. Michael wrapped his arm around me and held me close. Despite the pain, I never wanted him to release me.
When we broke apart, I laid my head on his shoulder. With tears still falling from my eyes I whispered, "I love you."
In six centuries, I have never felt so close, so caring towards another. But Michael, Michael's different. Despite all that had come to pass and all that will come, I will stand by him as he will stand by me. That is an oath I swear. I swear on my life, I will never let Michael fall.
