Ch. 5: A Familiar Face

Well here is chapter five. I hope you tell me what you think and if i get enough reviews i might update sooner. Please review!

-In Car-

Selene was driving but kept looking back at Danielle in the rear view mirror. "I know you don't trust me." Danielle said. "And if I were you I wouldn't either, but once we get there you will see it and you'll be glad you listened to me."

"How do we know this isn't an ambush?" Selene asked.

"Selene, trust her. I think she's telling the truth, and I think you do since you did turn her." Michael said.

"Well I may regret that later." Selene replied.

"No you won't." Danielle said, "Just keep heading this way and you will see where to stop."

"Danielle, this may sound crazy, but do I know you?" Michael asked.

"Not exactly, but you will. And please call me Dani." She answered.

About half an hour later Selene saw a mansion like building to her left. "Is that where you want us to go?" she asked.

"Yes it is. Selene, Michael welcome to the Corvin Mansion." Dani said.

As they pulled into the driveway Michael remembered the statue that was in front of the house somewhere before. "I've seen that statue before." He said.

"I thought you might. Michael your great great grandfather and my great great grandfather were brothers. Your family moved to America while mine stayed here in England." Dani replied.

"Corvinus." Selene said.

"Yes I am also related to the Corvinus'." Dani responded.

"But how? I thought I was the last." Michael said.

"That is because Lucian had all of my family killed while he was seeing if any of the males had the virus, you. He didn't realize I was even alive." Dani said getting out of the car and walking up to the front doors. Michael and Selene followed wanting to hear the rest of the tale. "If he knew I was alive he would have either killed me or find that he could have made two hybrids."

"Do you mean…?" Michael started to ask.

"Yes Michael, like you I have the virus too." Dani said and started to turn blue with black eyes like he can do. She then turned back into human form. "I must admit that I planned you to bite me." She said and Selene got nervous. "You see I found you and next I found a lycan to bite me, here on my arm." She pointed to her right arm. "Then I had you Selene to bite me. So I'm now like you Michael; half vampire, and half lycan…"

"But stronger than both." Michael finished her sentence. "Why?" he asked.

"I did this so I can help you both in your next battle." Dani answered.

"What battle?" Selene questioned.

"Your coven wants you both dead, and they won't stop at anything until you are; even if that means to start a war." Dani replied.

"How can we trust you?" Selene asked.

"Come inside and I'll show you." Dani said opening the oak front doors.

Once inside the mansion, Dani lead them to the library. Danielle fiddled with one of the books and a secret door opened next to the book case. Dani walked through with Michael and Selene following. "What is this place?" Michael asked,

"This Michael is everything you could ever know about vampires and werewolves and our ancestral line." Dani replied. "Here is our family tree Michael." She said handing him a rolled piece of parchment.

Michael unrolled the parchment and saw that Dani was right. He saw his father's name, mother's name, ants, uncles, grandparents, great grand parents everyone all the way up to Corvinus himself. "this is hand written with different hand writing. Every name or so there is different hand writing. How do I know you are my relative." He asked.

"You were drawn to me the first day you arrived in that little town. You could sense me." Dani replied.

Michael raised his eyebrows, "How did you know?" he asked.

"I saw you and Selene staring at me." Dani responded.

"I thought you were sleeping." Michael said.

"I just made it look that way. I had to make sure you were who I thought you were before I set my plan into action." Dani said.

"How old are you?" Selene questioned.

"I just turned twenty last month. Why?" Danielle answered.

"Why do you want to get involve with this battle you said will take place?" Selene asked.

"Michael is my only family left and if he's in trouble then I intend to help him?" Dani said.

"Do you have weapons?" Selene asked.

"Yes they're in the next room. Take what you need." Danielle answered.

"Good. Now tell us, who is after Michael and i?" Selene questioned.

"All I can tell you is you killed a friend of theirs and they want revenge." Dani responded.

"I want a name." Selene said walking towards Danielle.

"You can't have it." Dani said.

"And why is that?" Michael asked.

"If I tell you the battle may happen earlier and we're not prepared for it." Danielle said.

"Fine but I will need the name soon. Michael and I want to live in peace and we can't with my coven always after us." Selene said.

"Deal. You two should get some rest. I can show you to any room you like." Danielle replied.

"Alright." Selene said.

Danielle showed them to one of the many master bedrooms and left them alone. Danielle walked to her room and started to work on their battle plan.

Selene and Michael unpacked all of their stuff and just laid on the bed. "Do you think she's telling the truth about this battle?" Michael asked.

"I do, and that's what's bothering me." Selene answered.

Michael noticed that Selene had started to think about their last week in that town. 'She probably going over everything that happened, from when we had arrived in that town to coming to the Corvin Mansion.' Michael suddenly became lost in thought as well. He started think things like 'Did my father know about our family's past?' and 'were they killed like Dani's family was?' This last thought scared him. 'Oh god what if they died? Did Lucian kill them?' Then Selene pulled him back to reality. "Selene what is it?" he asked.

"Its time we started to get to know about all of the Corvinus family relatives. Starting with Dani." She replied. They got of the bed and walked out of their room then went to find Danielle. "She has a lot to explain."

I hope you liked it. Please review.
