A NEW BEGINNING
Chapter 1: After the battle
She could feel his presence close behind her as they walked steadily through the darkness. She could still taste him, almost unconsciously, she licked her lips. They were both silent as they moved onward towards their unknown destination. He followed her obediently, not questioning where she was leading them. She was glad at this, for at that moment, she herself didn't know.
She was still slightly shocked by what she had done to preserve the life of man she had only recently met, a man who had awakened something in her. Something she had almost forgotten, but not quite. Something human. Thinking about it with him so close made her uncomfortable, this needed to be pondered in solitude.
Selene marched powerfully through the dark streets, finally knowing where they could go. A place they would be safe from the vampires and Lycans for the moment, but more importantly for her, safe from the sun.
She glanced quickly over her shoulder and saw Michael was closer than she had thought. He was still soaking wet and although she couldn't feel it, Selene knew that the night was cold. Michael had folded his arms around himself and was now peering at her from behind his wet hair.
"What's wrong?" he asked in an uncertain voice as he read the troubled look in her eyes. She ignored his question and turned around again.
After a few more minutes of walking in total silence, she stopped in front of a chain-link fence. Michael collided with her, and was greeted with cold blue eyes and a low hiss as long fangs were flashed in an automatic warning from his vampire companion. He stepped back holding his hands up and not making eye contact. The Lycan in him wanted to snarl back, and the vampire part wanted to challenge her, but he was still very much a human, not used to this world and he didn't want to anger the warrior before him.
When he glanced back up at her, she had changed again, her eyes were the same deep brown as they had been the first time he had seen her in the subway, when the sight of her had caused him to slow down and stare.
"Don't do that again" she spoke sternly, and Michael gave her a confused look, so she explained. "Do not make contact!"
"Oh," somehow he knew that he shouldn't question her but he desperately wanted to know why he shouldn't touch her, so he asked.
At the sound of the question, Selene turned back to the fence and looked high above her head, towards the top.
"I am not accustomed to physical contact!"
"But you kissed me" the statement fell from his mouth before he could stop himself. He saw Selene's shoulders tense, but she didn't answer him. She only vaulted skywards, towards the top of the fence and swung herself over the top, landing gracefully on the other side. She flashed him a stern glare and then began marching towards the abandoned building before her.
Michael closed his eyes and mentally kicked himself, before he scrambled up and over the fence and jogged after his companions retreating form.
****
Michael had just caught up to Selene when she kicked in a large steel door. Slowly he followed her inside and pushed the door back into place, both to keep out unwanted guests and to keep out the cold.
He followed Selene through the darkness and into a large room. She stopped and looked around, the place looked safe enough, but then he noticed something.
"um, Selene?" he moved closer to her and stood by her side and she looked coldly over at him, not saying a word.
"this isn't safe"
"what?" she snapped, "they won't come looking here!"
"I don't meant that. I mean it's not safe for you!" he moved to stand right in front of her, wanting to reach out and grab her shoulders to make her listen, but restrained himself. He pointed to the numerous uncovered windows around the room. "what about the sun?"
he almost choked when he looked back at her to find she had a slight smile on her face.
"the sun is no problem. This building has two underground levels, that is where I'll stay during daylight. You can stay up here and keep watch while I sleep, and I'll do the same while you sleep."
Michael nodded and watched as Selene moved to one of the half boarded windows and peered out. She spoke clearly without looking at him.
"it's late and you're tired. Go downstairs and sleep"
Michael wanted to thank her for saving his life and protecting him now. He wanted to embrace her to show his gratitude, but the rule she had laid down earlier rang in his ears. So with a sigh he moved towards the stairs, turning to glance at her as she stood guard.
"Selene" she turned he head slightly, not taking her eyes away from the abandoned street in front of her. "Thank you"
With that, he moved slowly down the stairs into the darkness, deep in thoughts of his companion, he had seen something in her eyes earlier that night, and now he wondered why she had lain down the 'no contact' rule, like had had said, she had already kissed him (true it was only to shackle him, but she had kissed him). Absentmindedly, he touched his lips at the memory.
As he lay down on the tiny cot in the cold dark of the sub-basement and stared at the ceiling, he couldn't keep his thoughts away from the dark warrior standing at the window a few floors above him. And as he closed his eyes and gave in to the exhaustion he had felt since fighting Viktor, the last thing his conscious mind registered, was the image of the beautiful pale face of the vampire upstairs. his vampire.
