Underworld: Blood Wars Page #4

some kind of martyrdom for her.

I prefer a more honest

appraisal of her decision.

She abandoned her only son

for the sake of her precious council.

- Take it.

- David.

David.

Amelia asked me to give him this.

What do you need?

Nothing. I just need to be left alone.

Yes, I know the feeling.

Why didn't my father

tell me about my mother?

I did not know your father well...

but I know that his greatest fear

was to lose you.

It seems it's the curse of every parent

to disappoint their child.

- At least you fought for your child, Selene.

- Yes, and lost.

You have pure-blood heritage, David.

Your mother was an Elder.

Your parents kept you safe

for a reason.

They protected you

so that one day you could lead.

Your mother left you a gift.

Oh, that's very kind of you,

but I have no use for jewelry.

The ring is not the gift.

It contains the gift: A mother's love.

A single drop of her blood.

Maybe it'll help you decide.

You're just in time.

- Come.

- What is this?

- Valissa, the in-between place.

- Is she dead?

No.

She is...

becoming.

She took a poison.

It allows her to visit the Sacred World.

When she returns,

she will see this world with new eyes.

I don't understand what this is.

We have long known

there is more than just this world.

When my father

first brought me down here...

I felt as you do now...

but I have since been

to the Sacred World many times.

My eyes see beyond the surface

of so many things.

- I see much about you.

- Such as?

I can see you've loved a Lycan...

- killed a vampire Elder, and given birth...

- Stop.

I see you have lost your daughter...

and how much pain

this gives you deep inside...

where you will always hide it.

She's a special child.

Many battles will be fought...

and lost over her.

- What else do you see?

- Darkness.

One that touches us all.

If you want to keep her safe,

you will need to go further...

than even a warrior of your renown

has ever ventured before.

I have seen so much war...

so much killing.

I cannot bear more.

The peace you will feel here is real.

It seeps into your skin

and comforts your soul.

Tell me about the Sacred World.

The water is the path.

Amelia!

I name our son David.

David.

One day, you will understand.

I'm so sorry.

Lycans! Sound the alarm!

Close the doors!

Move!

Just as I spoke of peace,

war has followed you here.

Protect your own.

I must find David.

- We have to get you away.

- No. We led the Lycans here.

We can't let these people die.

Run!

This way, men.

Go around that side.

There she is.

You parasite.

Just do it.

Marius.

At last.

On your right!

I expected more from you.

Tell me where your daughter is.

I don't know.

Selene, all I want is her blood.

Only she can end this war.

I give you my word

she will not be killed.

What are you?

Tell him where she is...

and all this butchery

will be over forever.

I don't know.

Lies.

They've gone.

Michael.

- I freed you.

- Look at the eyes.

Who I am?

Do you not know who I am?

- My daughter.

- I don't want you.

Don't look for me.

She's telling the truth.

She doesn't know.

My time is done.

They are retreating.

I'm running out of time.

We must strike against

the Eastern Coven now.

You know what you must do.

Water is the path.

Selene.

Praise the day...

when it ends.

Praise the ice...

when it holds.

Praise the sword...

when it kills.

Praise the life...

that has lived.

It's time.

Power.

Such a seductively simple thing.

Either you have it all

or you have nothing.

How fascinating.

Amelia...

The water is the path.

You should stay here, David.

This can be your home.

Marius is heading east.

There's nothing stopping him now.

And my people are beset

with enemies on all sides.

How can I stay here and live...

- while they die?

- They need a leader.

Gate secure. Perimeter check.

Miss me?

- East gate is clear.

- West gate clear.

Commencing perimeter sweep.

Access granted.

What news do you bring?

A massacre.

The Lycans attacked

the fortress of Var Dohr.

Lycans in the north.

The Nordic Coven

was taken completely by surprise.

- Dozens of vampires have been killed.

- Was Selene amongst them?

Dead. Killed by Marius himself.

Wherever Selene goes,

trouble surely follows.

- What of David?

- I do not know.

I only wished I had arrived sooner.

I might have helped in some way.

Well, you've helped in so many ways.

You've done exactly as I hoped

and planned, if not more.

You see, information is power.

And I collect it with a passion.

Thank you for leading Marius

to the Nordic Coven.

Your Lycan lover...

must be delighted

with his momentary success.

You thought I didn't know.

Foolish girl.

Dawn alert.

60 seconds to sunrise.

The Lycan scourge

destroyed an entire coven.

To hide behind these walls

increases their advantage.

We cannot take the war to Marius.

Should we cower in the safety

of these walls...

- while he picks us off one by one?

- Curb your insidious comments, Semira.

This coven has held for 15 centuries.

- It will hold for 15 more.

- I hoped you would show strength...

though I was willing

to settle for competence.

I was wrong.

What is the meaning of this?

If this council is too weak

to take action...

it is my duty to do so.

You are relieved of your duties

as council members effective immediately.

The traitor returns.

Oh, you are a fool

to show your face here.

I will make you pay

for what you've done, Semira.

Marius and his army

are heading this way as we speak.

- I come to save my people.

- Your people?

Kill him. Kill him.

You aspire to be the protector

of your bloodline...

yet you kill your own kind

in pursuit of power.

It ends now.

I am David,

son of the great Elder Amelia.

And I am the rightful heir to this coven.

Amelia had no son.

Well, she had the foresight...

to know that my claim

would be challenged.

For the council.

Amelia.

His claim is true.

David is the last of the purebloods.

Irrelevant.

You are outnumbered and outgunned.

Varga, your orders still remain.

Kill him.

- I said, "Kill him."

- No.

You swore to serve me.

I swore to protect

the leader of this house.

Breach detected.

- Security system engaged.

- Lycans. They're here.

Lock her away until she can be judged

by the council.

Security system engaged.

Breach detected. Security system...

- She gets her damn war after all.

- Varga, you can still be forgiven.

Gag her as well.

Come on, move that truck. Move it.

Watch your angles!

Let's go!

Hold your positions.

- On the staircase!

- Behind you!

- Fall back!

- Retreat!

Behind the balustrades!

Take them out!

- Come on!

- Move, move, move!

Move it!

F***.

Aim at the ready!

Fire!

Fire!

Hide from the light!

Run!

Move!

Shoot, shoot, shoot!

Impossible.

I saw you dead.

I'm here.

I brought backup.

There are too many of them.

I've already killed you.

Marius!

- Marius.

- Please.

I wish your father

was alive to see this.
