Michael’s eyes lowered for a moment as he moved to cup her cheek and brushed his thumb against her cheekbone. “Because she’s our blood, Selene.” He said, moving to press his forehead against hers. “Because everything about us defies all odds. We survived so much, we’ve fought for so much, and fuck, Selene, I will fight for our daughter to be by our side, for our small family to be whole.”

michael isn’t wrong, for everything about their family is abnormal and supposedly IMPOSSIBLE; yet here they stand. though they must find their daughter, they are nearly one whole piece, and with her mate’s words ringing in her head, she knows he’s right.   ❛ i know you will. ❜   her hand lifts to caress his cheek, selene’s face still painted with fear and pain, but splashed with a hint of hope now.

The look of her smile made his heart skip a beat or two. She had such a beautiful smile and it made him so happy that he was able to see it. “Well, looking at you makes me very excited.” He said, raising an eyebrow. He wanted to make her feel the same way he did when he was around her. Soon enough, he would though. “How could I not be like that?” 

her smile softens, but she averts her gaze briefly.   ❛ i guess you have a point. ❜   is all that’s said, selene pushing herself to the edge of the counter to drape her arms over his shoulders to pull the man in closer. face inches from his, dark gaze meets michael’s own.   ❛ i’m very lucky to have you in my life. ❜   the articulation is quiet, loud enough for only someone with a heightened sense of hearing to notice… or for someone as close to her as he is.

“I mean, you and I can get to the fun a little quicker if you weren’t so cruel.” He teased back, watching her bite her lower lip. He closed his eyes, needing her just a little bit more. He needed to be with her, but he’d have to be patient for her. He needed to be. 

her smile is genuine, as it’s been ever since they’d started a new life together… she smiles much more often in general.   ❛ well you need to practice self control a bit. you’re not very good at remaining calm when it comes to… me. ❜   selene is speaking sexually, of course, for michael’s composure in most other situations is astounding even to her. sitting upon the counter still and leaning back, the vampire simply watches her mate with ease.

It was difficult to explain. Semira knew she still had attraction to Selene, they realized that after Selene helped her with what Varga did. However, Selene was right. Semira still held animosity. 

“I don’t know.” she sighed. “I suppose when you carry something for so many centuries, it’s hard to let it go.” Semira shrugged. “And you’re still better than me. In the eyes of Viktor, you were always better than me and I spent so many years trying to prove you weren’t. And then you actually became better than me with your Corvinus blood and even as I took that from you, you retrieved something else that made you better still. You’re probably the most powerful vampire in this coven. Not only that, you are an Elder, something I wanted to be for so long. Even though I realize that I still care for you as I did when we were young… I suppose I’m just still bitter that you’re better. That no matter what, I will always be your inferior.”

selene knows that every word that falls from semira’s lips is true, for she has always been superior in one way or another over the other vampire. it isn’t something she’s proud of, however, her head falling some and gaze now on the floor until words are spoken no more. even then it takes the elder a few, long seconds to respond.   ❛ — blood means very little, semira. i am what i am, and you are what you are… but that does not make me better, regardless of my standing in this coven. ❜   she too feels the attraction towards the other, but does not quite know how to articulate it. she’s only had one true love her entire life, but semira had been there for her when no other was… not in that way. head lifts, highlighted tresses brushing her shoulders.   ❛ i’ve always felt as if you were my biggest competition. you have always been. ❜   selene remembers the way viktor would look at the other vampire, remembers despising the attention he’d give semira.

that’s the DIFFERENCE between YOU & ME

                                       i AM a weapon

                ❝As far as I’m concerned, history is full of sides that fought their damn hardest for reasons they believed to be right, thinkin’ they were on the right side all along.❞ Though from a reasonable standpoint it was easy to see just what the right side was. She hadn’t been around as long as Selene had, obviously, so she hadn’t experienced all that she had and been in so many bloody wars she had lost count. But she knew one thing - things had to change. Someone had to try to make a difference, right? Sookie wanted to at least attempt to be the person that comes together with a vampire as eager as she is to try and change things for the better of everyone. ❝Peace. I know it sounds silly or easier said than done, but someone’s gotta be the one to try and start it, right? Make a difference with each other, make sure species don’t keep goin’ on tryin’ to kill each other cause that’s just the way it’s always been. I can’t do it alone.❞

peace. such a silly notion when all is said and done. or rather, it was… not so much anymore. peace is what selene strives to reach, by any means necessary.   ❛ what are you willing to do to ensure the safety of all? you speak of peace fondly, but such a thing is not so easily attained. not with words, but with actions… and more death. ❜   if one looks back on history, peace has never been reached until hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, have died.

Michael definitely seemed hesitant about the whole thing, if only because it was a little unethical as she was his patient. But soon, she wouldn’t be, and she’d need a place to stay. He wouldn’t put her out onto the street. He wasn’t that kind of person. He would never leave her alone like that. He smiled when she said that would be great, heart skipping a beat at the warm smile. “Don’t worry about the job right away.” He explained “Focus on your recovery first and foremost.” 

that’s what he’d have to remember: she won’t be his patient forever. only for a few more days. smile remaining in place, her comfort around him definitely increasing, her nose will scrunch when michael speaks again.   ❛ i’ve only been asleep for… however long. i don’t think i need too much recovery when it comes to finding a job. ❜   the dark haired female jokes, trying to lighten the mood by under-exaggerating her reason for being in the hospital.
