looking at the ocean as the wind blew against her and she smiled.
ASelene I=m glad you=re okay,A someone said calmly.
She turned around and saw Zen. He looked like he did when she first met him and he smiled sadly.
@Yeah,A she said and turned away.
She gasped as he walked behind her, gripping her left hand. He knew that his lust for her would be uncontrollable one day.
@Selene, I=m sorry,A he whispered in her ear sadly.
She closed her eyes and then turned toward him, touching his shoulder.
AI know, I forgive you,A she said as the sunlight hit her face.
He couldn=t control it any longer and pushed her against a tree, his mouth on her neck as she gasped. He was trying to hold himself back, his right hand gripping her left shoulder, his left gripping her hand tightly.
ASelene,A Zen panted as his eyes turned black.
Selene tried to push him away, but he gripped her tighter. He was trying so hard to hold himself back.
AI am a Feras,A he said, his voice strained.

Selene gasped and her eyes wide as she remembered when she got attacked by a Feras. Her mother had told her that a Feras, was a creature that drank the powers from a person or their energy, they could turn anything into what they were, they drank blood to live.
AZen!A she said, her voice and eyes shaking.
He looked at her with his black eyes and she shuddered. He kissed her neck and smiled as she shook more.
AI want you Selene,A he said, the strain gone from his voice.
She gasped in pain as he bit her neck. His fangs sinking into her skin and tears formed in her eyes as unbearable pain came over her. She screamed as he dug his fangs deeper into her neck, drinking her life and blood. Demetri was three miles away, looking for her. His eyes widened as he heard her scream, he gasped and ran toward the sound as fast as he could.
ASelene!@ He said in worried.
Selene closed her eyes as more pain washed over her. She tried to scream again, but all that came out was a gasp. Her breathing became shallow and her vision blurry as he continued to drink.. He sank his fangs deeper in and she gasped in pain.
ADemetri,A she whispered faintly.
Zen wrapped his arms around her body, pulling her into him tightly. She looked at him as her eyes were slowly turning black. She gasped as he tightened his grip on her. She made one last attempt to get away as her body was getting limp and weak.
She put her left hand on his chest and pushed. He opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes back to normal. He withdrew his fangs slowly out of her neck and was halfway through her neck when Demetri appeared.
Demetri gasped as his eyes widened at the site in front of him. Selene was against Zen=s chest, his right arm around her waist. Her head and her right hand were on his chest and his left hand gripping her right one tightly.
ASe....lene@ he whispered, his voice shaking with fear and shock.
She opened her eyes slowly and looked at him. He gasped as he saw the black halfway through her eyes, but what really pissed him off was the bite marks and blood running down her neck, dripping on the ground.
@ZEN, YOU BASTARD!!@ Demetri shouted, pissed off as he pulled out his sword and rushed at Zen.

Zen jumped out of the way and smirked. Selene was in his arms still, slipping in and out of unconsciousness. He set her against a tree and stood up as he pulled out his sword. He blocked Demetri=s attack, spinning around just in time.
AHOW DARE YOU!@ Demetri shouted as his aura grew.
Zen smirked and disappeared, Demetri blocked his attack. He grunted as he was thrust back into a tree, coughing from the dust around him. Zen landed in front of Demetri and knelt down as Demetri glared at him.
AShe=s not yours any longer,A Zen said as he smirked.
Demetri slashed his sword at Zen, he blocked it, smirking still. Demetri smirked and disappeared. Zen gasped as he spun around, Demetri blocked his sword and got Demetri got his other sword out. He stabbed Zen in the stomach as he growled.
Zen growled angrily as Demetri forced him back, and then came at him striking left and right. Zen disappeared in a cloud of dust and rushed at Demetri. He gasped and spun around, but was to late as Zen pinned Demetri to a tree, his sword in Demetri=s shoulder. Zen went up to his face as he smirked.
AI claimed Selene. She=s mine now, not yours,A he said.
Zen smirked in triumph as he turned away. Demetri remembered everything he did with Selene and growled. He pulled Zen=s sword from his shoulder and merged it with Calamity. He disappeared as Zen spun around and screamed when Demetri stabbed him in his heart.
He gasped as his eyes widened and looked at Demetri. Demetri looked at him as he panted.
AWrong. She=s mine!@ Demetri growled, pissed off as his eyes glowed.
Demetri yanked the sword out of Zen and he went to his knees. Zen looked at Selene and smiled, and then fell on the ground as he slowly started to disappear.
AAt least I tasted her, just once,A he whispered and faded away in blue orbs going into the sky.
Demetri saw Selene and rushed toward her. He knelt beside her and picked her up in his arms. He shook her gently as he tried to wake her up.
ASelene!@ He shouted, fear gripping him tightly.
Sol appeared and rushed toward them.
ASelene, please! Open your eyes!@ He shouted, tears forming in his eyes.
Sol took Selene=s left hand and put it to her heart. She dropped Selene=s hand as her eyes widened. Demetri shook Selene gently, panic in his voice as he called her name again and again.

AHer eyes are half black, she=s been turned into a Feras, but only half Feras!@ Sol thought in fright as she shook.
They went to the underworld and Shin grabbed Selene. He put her in a tube and it closed.
AThis will get her heart starting again,A he told Demetri.
He was hooking tubes up to her and filling the tube with a red liquid. He pressed a button and the liquid turned a sparkling green. Demetri sighed and collapsed into a chair beside the tank when he heard her heart beating, relief washing over him. Shin hooked a tube from Selene to Demetri as Demetri looked at Shin.
AShe=s reliving her memories as a little girl. Do you want to see?@ Shin asked.
Demetri nodded and laid down on a table as he looked at Selene. He continued to stare at her as he was slipping into sleep and smiled at her.
ASelene,A he thought as he blacked out.
Shin turned the lights off and he and Sol left the room. Demetri had his hand on the tube beside Selene, feeling the rhythmic beating of her heart.
Two thousand and fifty years ago, Selene was in a courtyard, she was seven years old. The courtyard was lined with huge walls, vines and cherry blossom trees. Three other kids were there playing with her as well.
ASelene!@ Someone called as she smiled.
Selene stopped playing and looked at the house across the courtyard. A woman was standing on a porch, wearing a green and red kimono. She had long, black hair and green eyes. Selene laughed and ran toward the woman. The woman grabbed her hand and knelt toward Selene.
AMother can I stay a bit longer?@ Selene asked.
The woman smiled and ruffled Selene=s hair as Selene giggled.
ANo we have to go, come on,A she said and stood up.
Selene sighed and followed her mother across a river. She was wearing a white kimono, with cherry blossoms on it. Suddenly she saw three angels and stopped. Her mother smiled at them and they smiled back.
ALady Hikaru, we need you to come with us for a minute,A one of them said.
Selene looked sadly at her mother for having to go. Hikaru asked the other angel to take care of her and he agreed. Hikaru kissed Selene and left as the angel took her to the park and she played with him. Three hours passed and they were walking to her house.
Suddenly an alarm sounded and all the people went into their houses. The sky turned dark and the angel picked Selene up.
AWhat=s going on?@ Selene asked, worried and scared.

The angel pulled out his sword and growled as his eyes turned gold. The angel ran toward Selene=s house as an army of demons suddenly came out of the sky. Selene gasped and the angel ran into her house, putting a barrier around it.
ADemons,A Selene said, scared as she looked out the window.
Selene saw Hikaru and the other angel running toward the house, sword in hand. She glanced back and helped another angel up to his feet.
AHurry!@ Hikaru shouted, running faster as five demons chased them.
Selene got out of the way as a window blew in. The angel guarded her as glass flew at her. Hikaru and the other angels came in and put a barrier up, but gasped as the demons broke through it.
AGet Selene out of here!@ Hikaru shouted, holding off a demon.
The angel nodded and grabbed Selene, running outside. She saw her mother and gasped as two demons came at her. They killed Hikaru as the other angel killed one and two killed him.
AMOTHER!@ Selene screamed.
Five angels showed up and the angel handed her to one. He disappeared with her and the others fought the demons.
@Stay here Selene,A the angel said and went down to the human world to fight the demons.
Two hours passed and Selene was walking around the forest, the angels had still not returned. She gasped and hid behind a tree as she saw a demon. The demon was holding down an angel with it=s foot angrily.
ATell me where she is! The one the prophecy told us about!@ The demon growled as the angel chuckled and didn=t talk.
The demon killed the angel, stabbing his sword into its chest as Selene gasped in fright. The demon turned toward the tree she was hiding behind and walked toward it as she pressed her body against the tree. She gasped as her eyes widened when the spot where she was pressing against glowed blue.
The demon rushed toward the spot and Selene=s body went into the tree. The demon found the tree empty and walked off. Selene came out of the tree and looked at her body in shock. It was still glowing a faint blue, but quickly disappeared.
AWhat was that?@ She whispered in shock as her eyes shook.
She saw a cave and walked into it. It got darker the farther she went in and she was feeling along the cave walls.
AHello,A someone said in the darkness.

She gasped and spun around in fright. It was another angel, he had a torch and held out his hand. She took his hand and he smiled as she smiled back.
AYou=re Hikaru=s little girl. Selene, right?@ He asked
