Selene

In response to this wonderfully written fan fic, cause ilu and I am bored.

In every way it could be offensive, it was. All it was missing were the pole dancers. Though she did not doubt they would be the next act. As she first thought, there was not a drop of wine in the fine establishment, so her delicate palate settled on a tumbler of aged single malt whiskey.

Surrounded by a frame of thick, long hair, that curled softly around her face, the dangerous viper watched the ring. His eyes were on her, even hooded in shadows she knew. She could feel it. While most women might look away from such a dangerous stare she met it. After letting her thick lashes part her eyes raked over his sculpted body. While he was not as hulking as the man he had previously knocked out, he was certainly impressive. The thick chords of his neck begged for her bite.

The cage rattled loudly as his body was slammed into it. If he looked at her again the fighting stranger would find a devilish grin on her face. Her crossed leg dangled, the toe tapping against the air as the heavy metal music blasted through the bar. Under her ample chest she folded her arms watching the eruption of violence in the cage.

Which lasted only a few ticks of the clock longer then the previous bout. Dark, sultry eyes danced with delight as their 'Savior' hit the ground like a sack of rocks. A lone brow rose over her eyes as she met his dangerous glare. Had she been hearing things or did that sound like metal on bone when he filled the other mans eyes with stars? Rising from her rickety wooden chair, the sweating glass of whiskey in her hand, she poured the smokey liquid down her throat, never letting her eyes fall. Like a black asp sliding through the Egyptian sands she made her way through the roughneck crowd, fighting back a sly smirk as they parted for her.

Selene waited for no introduction. She pulled the door to the cage open and stepped inside, just as two other men were pulling the unconscious, beaten man from the ring. The ring master gave her a look. A very, humorous look, one that got a good laugh from most of the crowd.

"This isn't the place for a little lady like yerself." He muttered to her, covering the mic he held in hand with the palm of the other.

Lightly she ran the back of her hand against the grain of his cheek. Her dark eyes bore into his with all seriousness. "Promise, I will truly show you something you have never seen before." Men were so easy. Up and down his head nodded, catching a great glimps of the cleavage that spilled from between the zipper of her catsuit and over the top of the confining corset. "Thank you." She muttered as she lightly pushed him out of the way, her eyes focused on the man of the hour. The one stealing all their money and her attention.

Still. Nothing.

The battle had been tiresome. Confined within close quarters she struggled for room to breathe. She fought her fears and insecurities. In the dim light, cast in harsh shadow, her features twisted into a visible cringe of frustration. How could something so small put up such a fight?

Before she could change her mind and continue the quarrel Selene swiftly took her leave. It would be rather embarrassing to allow herself to be beaten now. Not after the fight she had just endured.

( Later, back at home....... )

Death Dealers were not born but made. Forged in the heat of battle. Molded from pain and loss. They did not all come from such noble beginnings as the glorious knights and guards of the old world. Some came in very small, unexpected packages. Wrapped in plain brown paper.
( Lesson One. There is no room for the weak. )

Slightly inspired by this

Circling the retired church was the soft patter of nimble soldiers fast at work. From the perch that towered above them she watched impassively as they moved over the unmaintained grounds. Rest assured she would not vanish with a whisper, or silently creep off into the night. Brushing past the large bell that hung in the center of the tower she struck it with the flat of her hand. A resounding gong echoed throughout the grand chamber. The massive bronze ornament swung from the thick chain creating a breeze as she slipped past. Brilliant light from the moon made the sword in her small hand gleam like a star as she began her descent.
( Inevitable )

This is a fiction based on a 'what if'. What if at the end of Evolution Selene still remained hunted for her crime against Viktor, Marcus and for turning Michael? This is the tale of her capture. Or as I see it. Thanks.

Using the dates in the books, movie and time frames that are given for certain characters this is the time line I have come up with.

400AD(No exact date given) = Alexander Corvinus is warlord of the land now known as Hungary. He is infected and survives a plague that makes him immortal. (Useless info, Alexander is warlord roughly the same time as Attila the Hun)

400AD - 1382AD = Within this massive block of time Alexander's three children are born. Marcus becomes a vampire. William becomes a Lycan. (Mutations of the virus that granted Alexander immortality) The third dies of natural causes as he was human. Along the way Viktor and Amelia are turned (There are no dates given for this). According to Blood Enemy(thank you, you know who you are) Soren was turned in 801AD. So we can narrow the time frame when Amelia and Viktor are turned, sometime between 400-ish AD and 800 AD, they are ELDERS after all, they should be elder.

1382AD = Selene is born. Construction of William's tomb began sometime in her early childhood.

1402AD = According to the book Selene is 19, almost 20, when she is turned. According to the movie and the book was the 'winter of Lucian's escape'. This would mark the death of Sonja, Viktor's daughter, and the start of the 'Blood Wars'. Sometime after Lucian kills Marcus' son Nikolas after his escape.

1500AD(Approximately) = The book(among other resources)claims William was entombed for roughly 500 years when Marcus finally freed him. That would mean his capture was around 100 years *after* Selene was turned. Given that Amelia and Marcus were both awake for his capture this century would mark the beginning of their 'leap frogging' through time.

In order to place Amelia as the reining Elder of the 20th century with Marcus next in line the order would have to go:

1500 - 1600 = Viktor
1600 - 1700 = Amelia
1700 - 1800 = Marcus
1800 - 1900 = Viktor
1900 - 2000 = Amelia

Powers and Abilities

A Vampire's transformation is not nearly as startling as their Lycan counterparts. When they transform, their eyes turn a startling shade of electric blue (though some vampires like Amelia and Tanis had golden shade instead of blue), while their eye teeth lengthen to become pointed fangs. Death Dealers display most of the prominent vampire traits seen in myth and in popular culture: super strength, reflexes, coordination, speed, resilience and stamina, regeneration process and heightened senses. Selene and several other Death Dealers have been seen leaping from very high places; at least 10 stories in some places, and landing without injury or harm. Selene has been shown moving with enough speed to evade gunfire in Evolution, and to outrun an enraged Raze in the first film.

She was also seen using her super strength to pin Michael against a wall several feet off of the ground, performing spectacular leaps on numerous occasions, striking her enemies with tremendous force. Selene was shown to be powerful enough to survive a shotgun blast in the chest at point blank range, and easily throw Hungarian police officers around like dolls. It is possible that Selene was stronger and more powerful because she was bitten by the Vampire Elder Viktor.

It can be assumed that the other Death Dealers, possessed various degrees of these abilities, due to their age and experience. Their heightened senses manifest in acutely increased depth perception, sense of smell, hearing, and nightvision; which manifests as electric blue eyes. Erika, although not a Death Dealer, was shown to be able to cling to the ceiling, like a spider; after she discovered that Michael was bitten by a Lycan, and after he awoke and startled her.

Vampire Law

The Vampires have a law which is decreed in their Covenant. Some of these laws include:

* Vampires are to conceal themselves from humans at all costs
* Vampires are not allowed to drink human blood
* Vampires are not allowed to fraternize with lycans in any way
* Vampires are not allowed to delve into the past

Breaking these laws require a judgement from the ruling Elder(s).

The vampire community has been split between two covens, one in the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa), housed in Ördögház and one in the New World (the Americas).

Vampire Elders

Marcus first turned the Hungarian warlord Viktor in exchange for his military intelligence. Then the Lady Amelia in exchange for her royal influence. They were to aid him in capturing his brother William. After he turned Viktor’s army and Amelia's followers into vampires, their troops later became the Death Dealers. As the oldest and strongest vampires, they became the 3 Vampire Elders. Viktor was considered the most powerful and Amelia was highly influencial. Marcus however, was undermined and over-shadowed.

Characteristics

Elders looks like other vampires, however, they possess superior strength, speed, and resilience that is far above those of the average Vampire. Viktor, as seen in the first Underworld Movie, was able to stop a Lycan (Raze) in its Wolfman form; with one hand around the throat, and the other being used to break Raze's arm, before violently breaking his neck.

He cast aside Selene; who was biting Michael, and infecting him with the Vampire Strain of the Corvinus Virus; with one arm, and moments later, used one arm once again, to throw Michael, through a solid concrete wall, and out into the flooded courtyard, of the Lycans' Den. He was also shown to be able to take on Michael, once he was in his hybrid form.

It can be assumed that Amelia also possessed this level of strength, as well as Marcus, well before his transformation into a Vampire Hybrid.

Elders also have the skill to organize their memories into a cohesive vision, a detailed record of their reign and the reign of the previous Elder who ruled. This was known as the Chain, which aided in their leapfrog through time. If someone else that isn't an Elder awakens an Elder, the Elder is plagued by incoherent thoughts and memories that are difficult to organize.

There are only three Vampire Elders:

* Marcus
* Viktor
* Amelia

The Aristocrats

The aristocrats are the only other group of normal Vampires seen within the covens. They enjoy the high life, such as sex, parties, and taking full advantage of their immortality. They were often shown dawdling around the mansion in the first film, doing little but being hangers-on to Kraven. In contrast to the leather uniforms of the Death Dealers, they wear fine clothing.

Death Dealers

The Death Dealers originally were created by the first vampire Marcus Corvinus, to put down the threat by his twin brother, the Lycan Elder William Corvinus. However, the original batch of Death Dealers came largely from Viktor's troops during his years as a Hungarian General. The Death Dealers, thus, were loyal to Viktor, instead of Marcus. The Death Dealers were successful in capturing William, as was their original purpose, but they skirted near to treason when they attempted to fire on a protesting Marcus. Death Dealers were also crucial in tracking down the band of lycans led by Lucian, and his right-hand-man Raze.

The Death Dealers of the Old World Coven are led by Kahn who is also the Weapons Master. After the werewolves manufactured UV bullets for their guns, Kahn took the idea and made a silver nitrate bullet that sent silver straight into their blood stream, making the silver impossible to dig out

Through the years, the Death Dealers constantly upgraded their arsenal of weapons. From silver crossbows specially effective against lycans, they used guns with bullets. Many vampires joined the Death Dealers as a sort of service, and with the fall of Lucian and the rise of decadence and complacency in the vampire covens, the vampire race was split into Death Dealer warriors and aristocratic merrymaking types.
