Underworld

Chapter 8

While waiting for Selene to come back, Michael and I just sat there and chatted about random things. His job, his dreams, our favorite things, and even Selene. It was honestly relaxing until I started to get a bit sleepy. That 10-minute nap did nothing for my exhaustion. I told Michael that I need to rest up for a bit. He just nodded and sighed. I laid my head down on the table and slowly fell into a dreamless sleep. I don't know how long I was asleep before I heard the rattling of chains. When I opened my eyes I saw that Michael was about to shoot the chain to break it and before I could even protest he pulled the trigger and the bullet near got him. In shock and fear, he dropped the gun before pulling at the chain once more.

"Shit" He mumbled

"Michael, what the hell?" I asked picking it up off of the ground before putting it in one of my holsters.

"Shouldn't you have the key?!"He asked pulling at the chain once again.

"No. Sorry," I told him softly.

"Why isn't Selene back yet?"

"I don't know. She may be stalled by Viktor and Kraven." I told him as I started to stretch and heard him yawn. "Why don't you get some rest? I'll wait up for Selene." He gave me a slight nod before trying to get comfortable and falling asleep.

**Time Skip**

Time started to slip by when I noticed that while Michael was sleeping, he wasn't exactly resting. Every other moment he would flinch and jerk as though he was having a nightmare. I was about to wake him when I started to hear loud footsteps coming up the stairs. "Shit" I readied my gun and aimed them at the door when I heard the first door open causing Michael to wake up, a few moments later Selene burst in through the last set of doors. "Damn it, Selene!"

"We need to go." She stated, leaving no room for questions. She rushed over to Michael and unlocked his cuffs. I look to the security monitors and aimed at the door waiting for them to get close enough so I don't waste my bullets. Selene had the same idea. As soon as we saw that they were close, we both started shooting at the door, praying that we would hit them. After shooting about 12 rounds into the door, Selene stopped, which in turn caused me to stop before she told Michael to get down and she shot out the window. Michael looked at the window dumbly before Selene yelled "Go. GO!" Michael scurried to the window and as he jumped onto the ledge he saw how far the jump was. "Jump!"

He turned around and looked at us like we were crazy. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

I finally got tired of it and yelled at him "NO, WE'RE NOT KIDDING! NOW, MAN UP AND JUMP, DAMN IT!"

No sooner had I finished my sentence, a group of men came in guns blazing. Selene and I crotched down and returned fire. I guess during this little shoot out, Michael finally grew a set and jump down the four stories of the building we were in. But by the time we were done shooting, we both realized that we heard fighting and car doors slamming shut. We both ran to the window to find a police car driving away with Michael in the back. 'Shit' I thought to myself. As we were trying to figure out what to do we heard a grunt coming from one of the men. 'Perfect, now we can finally get some information on why they want Michael so badly'

Selene walked over to the injured Lycan and dragged into the interrogation room. 'This should be fun'

*Time Skip*

We just made it to the mansion with the injured Lycan in toll. He had some interesting things to talk about. We carried him to the elder chamber to find Kraven trying to save his skin once more.

"I sent for Selene, not you," Viktor told him in a gruff and angry voice

"She had defiled you and fled the mansion, my lord," Kraven said in a steady voice. You could tell that Viktor was getting irritated.
