The Vampire Queen

Chapter Seventeen

Colton's P.O.V

Its been two days, two days ive been parked in my truck outside the vamps house looking for her. this was the last place I saw him when he was looking for his mate. this has to be it, if Riley's not his mate then whoever this girl is must be, other wise why is he calling for her at night. 

I get out the car and walk a little ways down the path to a tree the relive myself and get some fresh air. I wont be able to stay here much longer otherwise Greyson will wonder where I am.

 As I head back to the car Logan comes jogging up to me through the trees with a bag in his hand.

"yo, brought you more food, thought you might be getting hungry." he says as he gets closer to me.

"cheers man."

"any luck yet?" 

no, nothing, not even a sign of any of them yet, either they've headed out somewhere or they know I'm here"

"how's Greyson? 

He's still the same, he hasn't caught on that your not there yet though, to be fair I don't think he even notices any of us any more, he's too down. 

"that will change as soon as we get rid of the problem .

Get rid? what do you mean? 

"exactly that get rid of her, once she's gone he will be back to the same old grey will know

You mean kill her? 

what did you think I mean, even if she moves away he will still be down he will still feel the bond. this is the only way.

we fall into silence and climb into my truck to continue watching the house.

hours pass and just as Logan's about to head back, movement catches our eyes and we see a petite girl head out the door towards the treeline , her back is towards us as she weaves through the trees and slowly moves out of sight. Lets go.

wait you want to do this now?

No time like the present , this might be our only chance, asd soon as the others catch our scent they'll know we were up to something and will run away with her.

okay.

we make our way through the trees following her scent but staying back so she doesn't catch on to us, as soon as we are further away from the house we will attack, we just need to make sure they wont hear us.

after walking silently for a while I notice the smell of salt water in the air and realise where she's heading, that's it, its perfect, it will look like she took her own life because the bond. all we have to do is stay back till she's closer to the cliff. the trees start to thin as we get closer to the sea and she slows down as she gets closer to the edge, staring out at the sky.

"now" I mind link to Logan and i start to walk towards her, careful where i tread so she doesn't hear me approach. 

just as I get closer to her I hear something snap and she's turns around looking startled at me and before she could move i run and shove her over the edge and watch as she falls screaming ant eventually crashes into the rocks below with a blood curdling crunch that makes me cringe. i ;look down and watch as the blood pours out from behind her and washes away in the sea slowly turning the water around her crimson red. no one could survive that. 

She's dead. she has to be. 

"f**k man, you actually did it!" Logan says to shock evident in his voice.

"calm the f*** down. what did you think I was going to do, I told you she had to go. This stays between us, you hear me, if Greyson finds out what we did, hell kill us. I all but yell at him as he looks at me like I've grown an extra head.

"Us? I didn't do s**t" he says as he shakes his head and looks at me angry.

"Who's he going to believe huh? besides you knew what I was going to do and you didn't stop me or tell him so your still apart of this whether you like it or not." I state, either he gets on board with this or he's going to suffer the same fate as the bi*** down there. 

"f**k!!!" he yells as he paces away from the edge. "fine, fine I wont say shi*" he mumbles as he runs his hand over his face.

After a couple beats of silence we both head back to my truck careful to follow the same path we took so that our scents wouldn't be all over the woods and we drive back to the pack house, just in time to hear Greyson scream in pain.

We rush through the Packhouse and to his room where we see him curled in to a ball on the cold wood floor.

"through his tears and sobs he looks up at us and cries "she's gone"

acting dumb I ask him who while trying to look concerned even though I knew who it was .

"my mates dead" he chokes as he goes back to screaming.
