A/N: Wow, thanks for your reviews! I wasn't sure, that anybody would read and even like my story! Thanks for kind words, I'm touched. Special thanks to XxSidekickXx. I really need your supporting and you gave it to me))). That's why I decided to devote this chapter to you.

Silence. Peace and silence. It was the best in the whole world except of two important heartbeats.

Selene opened her eyes to see Eve sleeping near her. The mattress was too small for 3 people that's why Eve was almost on the floor. Selene pushed her to her closer. Eve didn't wake up, but hugged her mother, making her smile a little. And suddenly one thought ran thought her head. Michael. Was he there or she had a dream? Slowly Selene turned, trying don't wake up her daughter. And give a deep sigh feeling relief.

There he was, sleeping near her. His pose was the same as Eve's and it made Selene smile again. She looked at the window. It wasn't too dark, but she knew that there would be sunset soon. The coven will wake up soon. She needed to go. She gently touched Eve's cheek.

"What's happen?" the girl opened her eyes sleepy.

"It's getting dark, we need to go. You didn't wanted to stay here yourself, right?" Selene answered and rose up. She was going to wake Michael up too, but was already awake.

"Is this coven far from this place?" He asked.

"Yes. Sebastian said that he will bring us there"

"Sebastian? Who is this? Firstly David and now Sebastian. If there are a lot of new men in your life can you say me about them now?" Michael looked at her with some humor in his eyes.

"Sebastian is human. And he helped me too" answered Eve, till Selene looked at the window.

"He is here" declared Selene and looked at Eve in her soft blue pajamas. "Eve, change your clothes"

"You too" answered Eve and reach her out a package.

'What is it?"

"David left some clothes for you too"

"Why didn't he tell me?"

"I think that he knew your reaction" smiled Michael and wink at Eve. She smiled.

Selene came closer and opened the package. There were dark jeans, white sweater and grey coat. Selene noticed a little note.

"Don't kill me, but your latex draw too much attention.

So, please, wear it."

Selene nodded. David was right.

So, when Sebastian came in Selene and Eve were already in normal clothes. Michael was sitting near them in his T-short and jacket. He looked at Selene. He had never seen her in something except latex and he couldn't imagine that difference was so big. Latex made her look stronger and more deadly. And now in this sweater she looked like normal innocent girl of nineteen. But still something inside her eyes delivered her real age.

"Wow" There was surprise in Sebastian's voice. He looked at Selene's clothes and then at Michael. "There are a lot of changes"

"Can you go back at "home" yourselves? There are a lot of work tonight" said Sebastian, when Selene, Michael and Eve left his car.

"That's happen? Lycans again?" whispered Selene.

"We founded vampire's corpse. But it wasn't burned or shot to death. It was tore and disfigured. So, I think yes. Be careful."

"Thank you. You too," Selene turned and moved to the manhole hiding coven's dwelling. Eve ran to her and took her hand squeezing Michael's one too. Michael looked around. This place was very beautiful, but dark. But he also saw, that Selene didn't like this place a lot of. Was it cause of vampires? Hs didn't spend a lot of time with other vampires except of Selene and all of them were real bastards. Victor, Kraven, Marcus... Well, at least if Selene trust David, he can trust him too.

David was already expecting them. He gave Selene an approving look and opened manhole.

"You aren't welcome here, but you are here again and you even bring child with you. And as I see you lover isn't dead." Suddenly Selene could hear cold voice behind her back. She didn't turn. She knew who was speaking. She didn't like Thomas. He remained her Victor. And it wasn't just his manner of communication. There was something in his face too.

Well, Victor was braver…

"Dad, stop it. She saved my ass, so, I think that she can come here when she wants. And she can bring any one with her too," David gave Selene guilty look. She felt that Eve squeezed her hand. Her daughter didn't like Thomas too. She couldn't forget that he gave her to lycans.

Michael felt something bad between his daughter and Thomas and unobtrusively stepped forward covering her.

Thomas said nothing, but turned and went some there.

"Listen to me" David called coven. Everyone turned their faces to him. "You remember that lycans almost destroyed us one week ago. And we all know, that myth about lycan's extinction was a lie. They are stronger than us. We can't win this war without help. That's why I asked Selene to teach you to fight."

"We survived during the last attack" one vampire answered. It was young long-haired man. "We strong enough"

"You might be strong, but you need experience, Adam" David said. Selene preferred to keep silence. She didn't like to be in centre of attention.

"Let's see" Adam came closer to Selene. "Can you win a victory over me?"

Selene said nothing but came to him. Michael and Eve stepped back and sat on a stone.

Adam looked at his adversary waiting her attack. But she just stood in from of him. Then he raised his hand and tried to kick her face. Selene caught his hand, by one hand and hit his head by another. His body went for a ride on the floor and ram into another stone.

"30 seconds" she heard Michael's whisper. "He has a great potential" Somebody laugh.

Adam rose to his feet and tried to attack again. He chose her face again as a target. Selene stepped in left side letting his hand to pass past her face. When his own head was close enough she snatched his hair and pulled it down. Adam fell on his back again.

"You can't even win a victory over your own kind. Don't even think to win in fight with lycan. I think it's enough for you to understand, that our coven needs help," David said. Something in his face showed that he was very satisfied.

"Even from lycan's lover? Even from betrayer?" She heard Thomas's voice again. Oh god, she hated his voice. And she was glad that David didn't look like him. Genes are very funny thing sometimes. She thought.

"Father, if we need help we will take it even from devil," answered David. He was tired from his father's interminable dissatisfaction. "Do you want to return former power and respect to our kind?"

"Do everything that you want but when our kind will be destroyed do not say that it is my fault" Thomas said with anger. We understood that David was a winner in this verbal fight.

"So," David appealed to coven again. "Do you want to fight for you future?"
