Ch. 9: The Search is On
Disclaimer- I don't own any of the Underworld characters, I only own Dani and Kenton.
Note: Well here is the next chapter up as fast as I could. Hope you like it. Please review I take all kinds.
"What is it exactly?" Michael asked.
"A clue or a trap." Selene answered.
Michael looked at Selene, "Most likely a trap then." He said.
"Yes. And they might already be…"
"Dead?" Michael said with a sad look in his eyes. "I know, but I want to know for sure."
"As do I. Erika will pay for what she has done. I should have killed her long ago." Selene said.
"Well we don't have time to talk about the coulda, shoulda, wouldas. We need to find Danielle and Kenton fast." Michael replied.
"Right. I think they went north so we should try that first." She suggested.
"Then north we will go." Michael said getting into the car. "Next stop, saving Dani and Kenton."
-UNKNOWN-
'Kenton I hope you're alright. Please be alright. I need you.' Dani thought to herself. Then she heard footsteps and dragging sounds. Suddenly something fell to the floor with a thud. Someone groaned. 'Kenton!' Dani screamed inside.
"Dani, you there?" Kenton said then coughed.
"Yeah, I'm here. Are you okay?" Dani asked.
"Sure, just had some talking with Karis hands and feet." Kenton replied.
"How badly are you hurt?" Dani said.
"I'll live, for now." Kenton responded.
"So you both want to die, do you? Fine. You'll die after your two buddies arrive. The party is about to begin." Karis said as he moved around Danielle and Kenton.
"Ken, do you notice that Mr. Karis here believes to be winning?" Dani asked.
"Why yes Dani, I believe he is. Well we both know that is not true." Kenton replied.
"Yep, to lame to win, can't fight us fairly; wimp." Dani said with a smirk.
Dani was struck from behind and was knocked out. She later woke up to a sudden surprise.
-Road-
"Here's another clue to the trap we are leading ourselves into." Michael said pointing to the MPH sign.
"Soon we will have battles to the death and finally a future in peace." Selene said.
"I hope so. I want to settle down. I hate the traveling thing." Michael responded.
"It does get tiresome." Selene said with a smile.
"Yeah it really does." Michael replied. "I hope Dani would like to stay with us for a while."
"I hope so too. So let's go save her and Kenton." Selene said. "When we get there I want to fight Erika, if that's okay with you Michael?" she asked.
"Of course. You have more of a grudge against her than I." Michael responded. He kept on driving until he noticed the van that drove away from the mansion earlier that night. It was next to a warehouse with no guards on the perimeter. He pulled past the building not attracting any attention from anyone inside. "Any plans on getting in?"
"The front door." Selene answered.
"Alright then, the front it is." Michael replied. They both got out of the car taking no weapons with them, just themselves and a need for a fight.
"Well, well, well look what we have here. Our prey came to us." Karis said walking out to meet Selene and Michael.
"I see that your still stupid as ever Karis." Selene responded.
"We shall see. Would you like to come in, our Queen is expecting you." Karis said turning to lead then two into the warehouse.
They walked into the building and the first thing they look for is Dani and Kenton. Karis notices this, "You won't find them here." He said.
"Where are they?" Michael demanded.
"Not before you meet out Queen. So have a sit and wait like a good little hybrid. Karis said with a gleeful smirk.
A blonde woman started walking down some stairs in front of the 'guests'. "Selene it has been a while." She said.
"Not long enough, Erika." Selene said in reply.
"Don't talk to me like that. You have no rights here, Selene." Erika snapped. "Karis bring them out."
-UNKNOWN MOMENTS BEFORE-
Dani was struck from behind and was knocked out. She later woke up with a surprise. "Kenton? How did you get out of your restraints?" she asked.
"Well then I guess I was wrong about you Danielle." Kenton replied. He started walking around her.
"What are you talking about?" Dani asked starting to get concerned.
"You mean you actually have no idea. This is so sad and hilarious at the same time." Kenton said. "It's time Dani."
"Time for what?" Dani questioned.
"An ending." Kenton said. He then untied Danielle and lead her out of the room she was in. Once he opened the doors she saw Michael and Selene staring at her.
"Dani!!!" Michael screamed, but it was too late.
"Karis bring them out." Erika said.
Karis bowed and turned to the double doors behind him. He knocked and a minute lathe the door knobs turned. Michael could feel his heart pounding, 'Please be okay, please be okay.' he thought. It was taking forever, 'Open the door already!' Michael screamed inside. Selene must have known because her hand wrapped around his. Then the doors opened slowly. There standing in the doorway was Dani and Kenton, they were just standing there. Dani looked shocked to see them. It was all moving to slow, Michael felt like minutes had gone by but it was merely seconds. Michael saw a hand come up from behind Dani and it was like he was frozen. The hand was holding something but Michael couldn't tell what it was. He then looked at Kenton, he had a smile that made him look like the devil himself. Why did he look so evil now? It was like he was a completely different person altogether. Then he saw Kenton bring down the hand that held the weapon. He finally understood. 'It was a trap.' "Dani!!!" Kenton struck Dani through the chest with something big and she fell to the ground bleeding.
"Kenton turned to Erika, "It is done my Queen."
