Selene stands there staring at the smiling female in obvious shock, but the green eyes are no longer focused on her after her minutes of prolonged silence how the hell is she here? She died years ago Kraven told Kahn and I when we got back Selene's inner thoughts prevent her from hearing the conversation the unmasked blast from the past is having with Michael.
Michael is looking at the female who has stunned Selene into silence, not knowing who she is only given the word mom to work on he stays in his Hybrid form on guard just in case she is a threat, her searching eyes make him feel she is reading him this girl cannot be more than late teens early twenties and she intimidates me, I'm a hybrid I should rip her apart Michael growls audibly.
At the sound of the growl her smiles increases he's trying to intimidate me how cute, silly pup doesn't know who I am, really wish Selene would say something so I guess I will have to bring her out of it, instead of directing her gaze back to the older female she continues to look over the Hybrid structure "so are you going to revert back" the only response is a low growl not as threatening as the previous but more like a decline "I guess you're seeing Selene" the slight tilt of the hybrids head either signals he doesn't understand or asks her to continue "she doesn't just put everything on the line for an abomin..." before she can finish she is back up against the wall with Michael's clawed thumb dug into her bullet wound and his grip tighter around her throat than before. She doesn't scream out in pain when his claw enters her wound she only visibly winces and stares at Michael in amusement even as the darkness starts to claim her.
The sound of the impact brings Selene out of her thoughts; she looks over to see Michael choking the female who caused her to go into a silent shock. Selene walks over to the pair and pulls Michael off of the female, Michael stumbles back and snarls before he realises who it is then he whimpers, Selene catches the female as she drops unceremoniously to the floor. "Kailyn" Selene strokes some hair out of her face with the gentleness of a mother, realising that the girl in her arms in unconscious her eyes turn her new Vampyric colour and focuses her anger towards the now normal Michael who returns her gaze of anger with one of confusion "what in the hell did you think you were doing Michael!" Selene doesn't wait for his response she just lifts the younger female's deadweight into her arms properly and starts for the safe house.
"Where are those Death dealers!" a Voice echoes through the remaining halls Ordoghaz, the fire had burnt down a section of the mansion along with most of its occupants. The front of the mansion had been burnt but most of the living quarters, dojo, weapons locker and the elder's tomb were unscathed by the blazing fire. When Marcus set the blaze most of the death dealers were still in the sewer or in safe houses around Budapest.
A male and female stop in their tracks after hearing the angry voice, they had just come from the construction work being done to the fire damage. The female runs her hands down her face in annoyance "wish he would give it a break, Dmitri will drive us all to kill each other."
The male lets of a throaty laugh "you'd think you would be used to it now Helen you've been his understudy for about a 80 years" he continues down the hall way towards the Elders room "he's the new elder now so he has to get us back on track," as they turn to walk down the next hallway they notice a lone death dealer running down towards their destination.
Helen starts to follow the dealer quickly with her companion at her heels "I know Luc but surely you should be Elder after all you are V..." before she can finish Luc has pinned her against the wall shocking her into finishing her sentence earlier than she would have liked.
"Only you know about that and I told you in a confidential state so do not repeat that out loud, I do not want people to know." Luc lets Helene go and rushes towards the crypt. I will not become that man he snarls and stops outside the observatory that leads into the Elders crypt it's not a crypt anymore though is it, it's the Elders room seeing as Dmitri has modified the room attached to be his bedroom and office. "Sorry Helen" he mumbles but she can hear it perfectly but doesn't comment on it.
Helen catches up to Luc and together they enter the observatory to hear the muffled sound of the death dealers voice re-telling the events of the night, they continue walking in and the door open to reveal Dmitri sat on his chair with the dealer kneeling respectfully in front of him. Dmitri has his eyes closed when they enter but open up to reveal anger and annoyance filling his dark blue eyes; his light brown hair is a mess from running his hands through them in frustration. "You are telling me a single person took down three death dealers with the help of a Lycan" Luc and Helen can tell he is struggling from shouting at the incompetence of the death dealers.
"nah ma lord it were just the dark figure well 'twas 'till it 'ad pinned dan der second one den der Lycan showed its ugly mug and killed der fird one" the death dealers accent and speech proved that the death dealers really were stretched short as he was a newly appointed one having been turned only a couple of days ago.
Luc stepped forward inclining his head in respect to the Elder "one person wiped out your team; I am assuming you were just along for the ride hence why you have been spared?"
The dealer looks Luc over; blonde naturally tousled hair and blue vampyric eye make him look demanding and threatening, so without delay he answers in fear of the powerful presence in front of him and beside him, "nah ya see it wanted me ta give Dmitri a message but I dunno hoo dat is" Helen almost laughs but catches herself as Dmitri groans.
Dmitri puts his head in his hands I am working with imbeciles how the hell did Amelia and Viktor deal with this, "I am Dmitri so death dealer speak" losing his patience a bit he stands up and steps closer to the kneeling man, he looks at Helene and tilts his head up commanding her to come forward without speaking his order.
Helene is on the dealers left, Luc is on his right and Dmitri is in front of him "I thought you was der Elder" everyone groans at his stupidity "der figure told me to tell ya dat and I quote Dmitri is in fer a ride, I only 'llow ya ta live 'cause e needs ta know I'm back 'nd I will kill 'im fer what he did, den I left ta tell ya" Luc looks up from the dealer to Dmitri's stunned face, Helen does the same and eventually her gaze finds its way to Luc who expresses the same confusion as her.
"Leave" without being told twice the Death Dealer gets up and makes his leave of the room, Dmitri staggers back to the throne only to be watched by two very confused friends, neither speak as it is clear the Elder will inform them when he has gotten his mind around the news, "she's back" that doesn't clear up the confusion.
Speaking since she stepped into the room Helen takes a few steps forward "who?" Dmitri looks at her then too Luc so the male steps forward too "Selene?" Dmitri just shakes his head wishing it were Selene by the look on his face.
Luc seems to have a revelation at the name of the coven traitor "no but she will be soon if I think it's who I am thinking of" Helen's red hair flicks over her shoulder as her head turns quickly to Luc her brown eyes meeting his electric blue ones he seems to notice her unasked question so he continues "Selene will become involved because this person is none other than Kailyn...who is meant to be dead."
Dmitri laughs humourlessly and looks up to see the concerned looks at Selene and Kailyn names being mentioned in the same sentence "if you think Selene was a good Death Dealer then her daughter is just a good maybe even better as she has spent longer on the run" before Helene or Luc can say anything Dmitri continues "as for her being dead no she was never killed she was too well trained Kahn and Selene did a good job I'll give them that...I only hope Curtis can do half as good with these excuses for Death Dealers" Dmitri finally slumps in his chair.
Helene takes the opportunity to understand as she has only heard of Kailyn once in a passing conversation once between Dmitri and Amelia "she is Selene's daughter?" both males nod to her question "and we've been trying to kill her?" again she receives a nod but only from Dmitri "if I know about Selene as well is I hope I do then she will be extremely pissed to know that you've been trying to kill her," Luc and Dmitri nod grimly.
Luc again seems to have a revelation "didn't Kraven tell Selene and Kahn that Kailyn was killed on a reconnaissance mission over in Japan?" Dmitri doesn't say anything but just nods again "how did you get them to believe that if she's a good as you say she is?"
Dmitri looks up at the ceiling and sighs with heavy and pent up frustration "Kraven decided to fuel the fire and tell her it was a Lycan...let's just hope Selene doesn't find her," Helen and Luc nod and take their leave as it is obvious the Elder needs rest with the current development expanding into a very bad situation.
Luc stands in the observatory as the doors close behind him and finally reveals the smile he has been hiding since Kailyn's name was mentioned finally I get to see her again, with this current situation though I am so glad if refused to tell Dmitri my secret because I would hate to be Elder right now Luc makes his way to his room for the upcoming sun making its way just over the horizon.
Why is Luc wanting to see Kailyn again, What was Helene going to say about Luc?
Kailyn is pronounced Kay-lin incase people didn't know: R&R
