It takes place 6 years after Evolution. Michael and Selene are in a safe house many humans already knew about the existence of both races and were hunting them. That's why they need to leave.
Selene were in the safe house, waiting for Michael and the allies they had made over the years, five Lycans and four vampires who either didn't agree with the war or were too new to the Elders' implemented ideas.
Some died. They saw Selene and Michael as leaders and the only ones capable of ending wars between the races before humans killed everyone.
Three weeks ago Selene went alone after what was possible Ziodex's last blood supply, it was supposed to be something quick but it turned into a bloodbath, the humans were waiting, she got the blood but she couldn't get back to the hiding place and he preferred to stay in one of the safe houses in the city and communicate over the phone with Michael.
They will prefer waiting for the dust to settle to meet and have planned their escape from the country, with a boat big enough to snuggle everyone.
They would finally find themselves after three dark and frightening weeks for both of them, especially for Selene who had been vomiting all the blood she consumed, concluded that it was the fault of all the stress and fear for what could happen to Michael until he reached the hiding place she was in.
Today she was fine and waiting until the cameras showed movements outside, checking in she saw one of the vampires unlocking the door that led into the underground tunnel that was at least ten minutes of walking until reaching the correct location if she didn't miss the path.
Selene waited for them at the entrance. One by one he greeted her with a nod, when Michael entered they shared an arm, after parting a look that said a lot, he had something on his face that she couldn't read, a question she didn't understand.
"How are we here?" Scott asked, cutting off the silent conversation that was taking place. Scott was an American soldier who served in the American army in the war against Iraq, where he was bitten by a vampire on a mission. And with the idea of fleeing to Poland he ended up in Hungary where he was saved by Selene from a band of angry lycans and was the first to join them.
Five years ago
At first Michael didn't like the way he didn't let go of the vampire, how he idolized her at all, how they talked about weapons and wars and the connection they had, communicating with just a look or a wave. Until he blew up and made a scene and said 'That they could be together because he was leaving'. He went to how many of them and packed, Selene with his almost white blue eyes was angry at his lack of understanding with the new convert, who needs guidance. She was leaning against the door with her arms crossed, deciding whether to yell at him or to punch him in the face. She decided for the only way to end this unfounded jealousy. Walking over to where he was, she stopped behind him. He had his back to her trying to concentrate so as not to transform, she knew he would not look her in the eye. So she decided to say "Michael", it was a harsh whisper. "I don't know why you are so angry ..", he snorts, but she continued, "If you don't want to look at me ok, but you will listen, I never gave you any reason to be jealous or anything like that. .. " "Never" he said with a bitter laugh and turned to look him in the eye, "Since he arrived you live together, when I go to bed you are still there with him and when I wake up you are already gone, he does not take your eyes off eyes of you. You even shared blood ", closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he looked at her with watery eyes. "Smelling him on you was a thousand times worse than feeling that stake entering my heart, it might even be something Lycan ... This is making me ache with rage." Michael thought he would never have the connection that Scott had with Selene. "I will never be able to be the soldier you need by your side Selene, I will never have the connection you have and I will not stand here waiting for you to realize that you are wasting your time with me." At that moment, tears flowed freely from the faces of both for different reasons and at the same time. "Yes, I have a lesson with him, but it's a call from old war soldiers ...", she paused and touched his cheek and stroked.
"But you, Michael, have a connection with Selene that I haven't even remembered for a long time, since the moment I looked at you on that subway you attracted me in a way that never happened in six centuries and I know that never it will happen, for you I broke all my codes of hundreds of years, with you, I opened part of my heart, and in this part only you know all my fears, weaknesses, sadness, desires and even the dreams that I once had " , both hands caressing his face, one looking into the other's eyes without wavering.
"There is still a part that I keep to myself and I think you have every right to know, even if you leave and never come back, I want you to know that I love you as I will never love any man in my life again immortal and I want you to stay, because without you I have nothing to fight for ".
Michael stopped crying and absorbed every word spoken by the woman that he would die happy, for which he just said for the first time that he loved him and will always love him, knowing that there was nothing else between them, that she opened her heart completely and was something difficult for her, he couldn't get out.
She felt him take her in his arms and lower them, she knew there was no turning back. But he put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her to him, she immediately grabbed his back.
"Forgive me ... I love you with all my heart and I can't stand the idea of seeing you with another man, it kills me and feels like he has taken you from me ... I ... I ..."
"I know Michael, I know, just stay with me and I knew that no matter who looks at me or not, none of them are you."
They kissed with a passion. And they made love like never before, with each one expressing how much they needed each other and loved each other.
Gift
"We have a considerable supply of blood and arm," she said, answering Scott's question.
"Great! Now tell me Selene, what you did with this place smells wonderful!" said Rachel smiling.
She got a raised eyebrow and a half smile.
"I think you're hungry, there's blood in the fridge", walking down the hall, she showed the rooms and the kitchen afterwards. They were feeding and Selene was nauseating.
"I would rest if it were you", that was the cue for her, she went to the bedroom straight to the bathroom to vomit all the blood she ingested in the morning.
Michael realized that something was strange. And he went after her, opening the door to the room they had already stayed in, hearing a noise in the bathroom.
She was there crouching throwing up, running he took her hair and held it, he knew there was something wrong, he felt it as soon as he laid eyes on her.
"Is it better?", She nodded and stood up and rinsed her mouth with water.
She went to bed and sat with her hands on her head, taking a few deep breaths, until she felt a touch on her arm, she looked at him with fear and anguish.
Michael followed her and realized that she smelled different, yet so familiar. "What's going on with you and don't lie to me," he crouched in front of her and touched her.
"I don't know what's going on, since I got here I have been nauseating in the morning", vampires don't get sick it is not possible.
"Your scent has also changed Selene and seeing you vomit, are you not sick?", She put her hands in his hair.
"No, Michael, I'm not sick, it's just stress, those three weeks have been long," she put her lips on his, just enjoying the desired closeness these past few days.
He kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her waist, after a while they parted, leaning their foreheads on each other and stayed like that for a few seconds in silence until Michael heard something he hadn't noticed until now, there was a sound that he couldn't identify where or the best of what it was, until he realized that he looked like a heart so soft almost inaudible even to him, the sound was so faint.
It couldn't be, he even suspected hearing more was totally different as he was going to tell her. He hugged her tightly, placing his head between her breasts. 'It can't be, now that they were being hunted not only by both species and also by humans'.
"Hey? What happened?", She said with her chin on his head, he didn't know how to answer that question.
Moving away and facing her, she was so beautiful, now he understood the wonderful and familiar smell, taking a deep breath. "I know why you look so different," Selene frowned. "But I need you to listen to me, I ... I ... I don't know how to tell you, this is crazy", he laughed rubbing a hand over his face "In a normal situation it would be the other way around ... oh God" he said.
"Say it at once Michael", she was already losing patience.
"You are pregnant," he blurted out.
She paused for a moment 'This is possible, he must be imagining things, I cannot have a child. If that's true, that's why I can't feed myself, it's almost impossible to carry this pregnancy through to the end, Selene hopes, you don't even know if it's real, no, it's not real '. She stayed in this internal dialogue for several seconds or maybe minutes she didn't know, until she let out a breath and realized that she wasn't breathing. It is not impossible for vampires to have children is extremely rare.
"How do you know?" She asked, still looking at the floor.
"I could hear his heartbeat very faint, so it all made sense, it's been almost a month since his scent had been changing so little, but these weeks away from you the smell just intensified and the nausea, you could even change your mood ", He smiled.
Finally she looked at him with unshed tears. "How is it possible? Vampires can't ...", she stopped and realized what she was going to say.
"Except I'm a hybrid and you're a hybrid vampire. We both have Corvinus blood in our veins," he said out loud what they were both thinking.
"It is not possible, are you sure?"
"I can take the test," he said.
Or deadly silence. Now it makes sense for her to be throwing up every day. "Michael, how can we be parents? We are being hunted"
"Hey ... I'm not going to let them get close to you", he said sitting next to her hugging her.
"If they capture us, God ... We have to get out of this country as soon as possible", Selene was very scared.
"I know, that's why I think we shouldn't go on the boat, if something goes wrong we will have nowhere to run. If we go by land we can escape, just relax, let's put Plan B into action, I love you" .
I had written this story a long time ago and never published it. I hope to continue writing little moments between Selene and Michael, of course Eve too. I would like to know what you think, so comment.
Hope you like it.
