Underworld will be taking place in Romania, just so you guys know. And this takes place in 2000. ----------------- Vanessa Beauregard was very glad that Lycans no longer had to transform on the full moons. She had just opened up her bookshop for almost a year now and the only employee. Not that she cared that she was the only employee.
She could remember the night when her whole world changed several years ago. It would almost be 80 years ago when a pack of Lycans savaged her family's farm. Vanessa was just coming back from the outhouse to hear the screams coming from her house. A lupine head stuck out a window and saw her. She screamed and ran for her life, only to be pinned down. She cried when the sharp fangs tore at her back, tearing her dress and feasting on her. She was relieved that someone had seen what was going on and shot the Lycan. It was a neighbor who had heard the screams from across the street and went over to help. He carried her into his car and drove her to the hospital.
She could remember the first night she changed, the horrible feeling of changing shape. She scared the nurses and jumped out the window, running as far as she could. She forever remained the age of 19, making people believe she wasn't old enough to do the things she did.
Vanessa looked up when the bell above the door ringed and smiled at her customer.
"Hello. How can I help you, sir?" she asked.
"Just browsing," the man replied.
"Let me know if I can be of help."
She returned to her computer.

inbetween the first and the second movie. ^^ ~*~
Neville stood at the controls of the throne room watching the werewolf bleed out onto the floor. It didn't strike her as right that they'd just leave him there. Not that she could voice that to any of her fellow vampires. After all she was under a hundred, barely worth the energy to train much less listen to.
"...Bollocks." Nellie pushed the door to open the doors and walked into the throne room softly. The werewolf was dead, she could smell that in the air as she bent down next to him. She'd watched the tape of everything he had said. There was no way Craven would betray the Coven like that, it didn't make sence to her. She grabbed onto the werewolf's arms and started to pick him up when she haerd foot steps decending behind her.
"What are you doing in here?!"
~*~
Could be anyone really.

fun update ^^ ~*~*~*~ Nellie whirled around and gaped as she saw something dark and batlike appear from the shadows. She took in his black-as-night skin and the thin wings protruding from his back. He had long pointed ears and small sharp teeth. He wore only a pair of black slacks.
"J-just cleaning up the mess...uh...."
The man grinned. "Call me Marcus. And you are?" ~*~*~*~ "Thanks for coming," Vanessa said to her customer, shutting the register. She looked around and decided she should get ready to close up. She opened the register and started to count the money when she heard the door open. Two Romanian police officers walked in.
"Something wrong, Officers?" she asked.
"We are on the lookout for two suspicious criminals." One of them handed her the flier. "If you happen to see one or both of them, contact the number."
"I will be certain to do that," she said. "Have a nice day."
After they left, Vanessa let out a sigh and continued to close up her store. ~*~*~*~ short but something until Selene and Michael begin to appear

Lost everything I wrote. This is from scracth and admittingly alot shorter then what I wrote beforte. ~*~ Selene guided Micheal into the parkinglot out side of the warehouse. She knew it was only a matter of time before the rest of the Coven learne d of Victor's death.
"Selene!" Selene turned around to see Athena, her child and friend. She was meant ro be on a mission, to return weeks from Kraven had sent her with a team.
"Athena," Selene looked over at Micheal whose eyes went black before looking back at the women infront of her.
"Tell me you didn't, please." Atehena said looking back at the warehouse. "Tell me you didn't kill them all."
"Athena," Selene said softly stepping torwords her friend. "You have to understand that Victor had-"
"I'll have to trust you for the moment, understand that takes alot of effert on my part." Athena took a deep breath. "We have to get you and...him someplace safe."
~*~
"I-I'm..." Nellie tried to calm her breathing as she looked into the eyes of one of the Elder Vampires. She'd never met one before and was almost certain they weren't meant to look like that.
"NELLIE!?" Nellie turned around at the sound of Kraven's vioce. She felt panic filter through her blood at the tone in his vioce.
"Kraven, I was just.." Nellie said standing up from the ground as Kraven and five of his men entered the throne room. Kraven walked past her to where there was a hole in the floor and turned back to glare at her.
"Where is he?" Kraven growled as the men around her aimed their guns on her.
"Who?" Nellie asked weakly as ahe looked around the room for Marcus. If Kraven had betrayed the Coven surely Marcus would do something, wouldn't he?
"I should havew left you to bleed dry on that street corner," Kraven growled as he took a step forward grabbing on to Nellie's arm.

Athena sighed leading Selene and Michael some place safe, she had talked with Kahn already the two had agreed on making this before Kraven sent her on a bogus mission, it was pretty much finished when seh had ledt, there were only a few things left. She wasn't going to leave her friend alone no matter what. When she had heard about Viktor following and what happened to Micheal she ahd a feeling that they would need it. She had been loyal to Selene since she had saved her, Selene had been the one to trianed her.
"Where are we going?" Micheal growled slaking behind them.
"Safe house, i got a little help from Kahn." she said and continued to lead the way.
They had found a perfect place for the two fugitives to hide, it was a small apartment above a local bookstore. she had spent a good part of the last few hours finishing off the room. Selene looked at the girl odd as she led them into a bookstore.
"May i help you?" a girl asked behind the desk.
"Uh yeah i left my key upstairs, mind if i use your back stairs to get to the apartment." Athena lied.
"Of Course."

Vanessa watched the three go up the back stairs to the apartment upstairs and when they were gone, she made sure she was completely closed up before exiting the shop. Her house lived not too far from the shop so she could walk to her house easily. The Lycan locked the door behind her and began her trek back to her house. ~*~*~*~ Nellie tried to break the grasp Kraven had on her arm but he only gripped her tighter. She couldn't understand why he was regretting that decision he made so a few years ago.
He told his men to stay and find Marcus as he led the younger vampire out of the chamber and deeper into the house.

"What are you doing?" Nellie asked as Kraven flung her onto the floor in the livingroom.
"Shut up." Kraven growled aiming his gun down at her. She felt frozen as she looked up at him.
"What the lycon said was true...You did betray the Coven." Nellie whispered as her pointed the gun between her eyes.
"That's why you're worthless, Nellie. You actully believe everything people tell you." Kraven said shaking his head. "If you had any brains in your head you might be worth keeping for the reformed coven."
"She's smarter then you give her credit for, Kraven." Nellie looked behind him and saw Marcus covered in blood in that inhuman looking form. She saw the look Kraven had on his face and knew that wasn't normal. She scotted away from Kraven as he stared open mouthed at Marcus.
"M-my lord-" Marcus shoved one of his wings through Kraven's midsection spraying blood across the floor and on some landed on Nellie's face.
"Your sudden but inevitable betrayal doesn't seem to be going as planned, Kraven." Marcus said lifting the other vampire up off the ground. "I have every memory from that flee infested werewolf running through my mind."
"My Lord, please. You need me." Kraven pleaded Marcus just laughed softly as he pulled Kraven closer to him and bit into his neck.

As Vanessa put on her nightgown, she froze, remembering the three that appeared at her shop. She then remembered the flier the police had given her. Two of them looked exactly like the two on the flier.
"Shit," she mumbled. The Lycan female ignored the itching feeling her skin gave off as she went to her closet in her room and took out a few weapons. She didn't care that she was in her nightgown... she would call the police from her shop before distracting the group so the police could come.
Mind made up, Vanessa put her shoes on and left her house, crossbow in hand. In her anger, she could feel her nails lengthening, curling into claws. Not now she told herself, not wanting to change out in public or she would be the one people would hunt. ~*~*~*~ Nellie watched in horror as Marcus sank his fangs into Kraven's neck, drinking deeply. She could tell he was looking through his memories as he drank. Slowly, she slipped away from both of them and ran away from the house, fear clutching at her.

Athena stood where she was at the window, regretting choosing this as a hiding place ever since meeting the shop owner. she then realized what had bothered her so, the wanted poster on the outside od the shop, she swore under her breath.
"Selene wake the boy we have to move." she said.
"why?"
"the shop owner knows who you two are, she might've called the police."

Not sure what to do about you two's part so I'll leave it for whoever posts next. ~*~
Nellie had never ran that fast in her entire life. She couldn't shake the image of Kraven pleading from her mind. He'd tried to kill her and she still felt sorry for him.
"Way to have a backbone, Nellie." She muttered to herself as she slipped into a 24 hour gas station. She'd past alot of places she could have hidden in but this seemed the least likly place for anyone to look. Nellie knew she should be looking for anyone left alive from the Coven but how would she even find them?

well.... i originally had it planned that Vanessa would try to distract the three from leaving, trying to ask them what their business is while the police were on the way. I also thought that after Vanessa saw the necklace that Selene had that she would flashback to when her father had helped Selene's dad build the prison in which whats-his-face was in. Then, after finding this out and that they didn't do what they were accused of, she would feel bad and help them escape, also endangering herself.

but otherwise, let's continue and go from there ^^ Plans can be changed ~*~*~*~ Vanessa made it to her shop and began to unlock it. She hid the gun in one of her deeper pockets and entered the shop, stepping lightly so they wouldn't hear her.
She ascended the stairs and slid her key into the hole. She opened the door and let out a curse.
They were gone.
"Damn it." She banged her head on the wall. What was she gonna tell the police now? ~*~*~*~ there we go... short but something.

"can we stop for a minute please?" Micheal asked breathless behind Athena and Selene.
She looked back at the... thing. She new he was part man, hell even part of her.... race but he was also tainted with lycan. She didn't understand fully why Selene trusted him but she did which should be enough for her.
"Fine, but not for long we need to keep moving till we can get you some place safe" she said as he leaned against a tree, "we need to find away to change your appearances. We can't get around with the two of you looking like yourselves."

Vanessa watched the police officers leave her shop after she told them what happened. She glanced up at the apartment above her shop and sighed. They must've found the flier and bolted, realizing that she weaseled on them. But what she didn't tell the others was that she found out that two of them were vampires and one smelled like both lycan and vampire. That's impossible she thought to herself as she walked home once more. A lycan could never survive a bite from a vampire, not unless... Her eyes widened and she went back to her shop.
Once she opened up, the female lycan dashed to her back room, where she kept her own private stash of books. Vanessa browsed the titles on the book bindings until she found it. Tugging it from her shelf, she plopped it down on a rickety table and flipped through it.
Aha. That boy must descend from Corvinus if he could survive being bitten by both species. Vanessa sank down into her chair, the book still open. She was startled, though, when she heard footsteps approach her shop. ~*~*~*~*~ James Michaels was shocked when he saw the lights of a bookshop on inside a small town. Shops were never open late in a small town. It was very rare indeed.
He approached the building, wondering if he could talk to someone about lodging. He was very tired and the sun would be up soon enough.

Vanessa was putting away the books when she heard the sound of a knock on the front door. Damn it, she should have turned off the lights. Sighing, she finished her task with supernatural speed (thank the heavens for the superhuman agility) and went to the front door, what she was going to say on the tip of her tongue. When she opened the door, words failed her.
Standing outside was the most gorgeous man she had laid eyes on. He had shoulder length shaggy brown hair, looked about 6'4 in height, and had beautiful dark blue eyes.
"Hello," he replied in a Hungarian accent. "Can you provide me with adequate shelter for the day?"
Vanessa sucked in a breath and froze when she did. She could literally taste the scent of vampire around him. Unlike other Lycans, she did not hate vampires as much. But that didn't mean that she liked how they smelled.
"I have an apartment above the shop," she said.
The man took on a sheepish look. "I'm afraid I have an allergy to sunlight, ma'am. Are there any other options available?"
"Well, I also have a spot down in the basement here, if that is better."
"Much. I'll take it." He seemed to take a step forward before he stopped. "I'm sorry, I haven't properly introduced myself. Name's James Michaels. I'm passing through."
She smiled. "I'm Vanessa Bearegard. I own this shop and I live here in town. Nice to meet you. Now, please follow me and I will help make you comfortable in the basement."
James smiled as well and entered the shop behind her.
