The Dark Days: Love in the Shadows

Ch 7

Grunts and groans could be heard from outside the SUV, as Myla made sure that Stormy was comfortable. Ryln couldn't believe what he was seeing, their young queen had lost consciousness on the way back to the vehicle. When they had gotten her into the car, Jas had nearly had a heart attack, he didn't think this would have happened to any of them.

"What happened to her?" Jas coughed out around the gagged. Eventually he spit it out. "No, no they were just supposed to take her and leave you all alone." He stammered as he took in the condition she really was in. "Can't you do something to save her? This is all my fault." The hybrid cried out.

Ryln and Myla tried to ignore their captive that was pleading for them to save Stormy, but it was getting a bit dicey to hear anything with the sound of his cries mingled with the sounds just outside the SUV were starting to wear thin on the pair. That was until Sage wrenched the door open and nearly slammed Reid into the passenger seat of the vehicle.

"Keep your thoughts and your fucking mouth shut or when we do eventually find my brother and Onyx I'll let it slip you blame this all on Storm." Sage hissed her fangs inches from his face. "Do I make myself clear Reid Shadow?" The short tempered female giggled as she slammed the door shut and disappeared from sight.

Myla refused to even look at Reid, she didn't want to fathom what he had said to Sage, let alone thought about his own sister. It must have been bad enough for it to come to blows, since the scent of the elder male's blood began to fill the SUV as well. Ryln spared a glance before he quickly knelt back on the floor of the vehicle. There was a sly smirk on his lips that clearly showed he was amused at how Reid must have looked. As Jas began to panic at a nose that came from behind the silent vehicle he wondered if they were going to kill him. However, the male soon relaxed when he saw Sage climb behind the wheel. As she buckled up her head turned slowly as if she was possessed, an evil little grin was plastered on her lips while there was a look of pure hate for the person who had harmed Storm.

"You would be wise to keep your mouth shut as well, traitor." She boomed as she caused Reid to jump next to her. "After all you will be handed over to the rebellion, and you better pray that Stormy lives or so help me god I'll be the worst of your problems. The sun being gone will look like a walk in the park." Sage vowed as she started the vehicle up there was no time to waste, they needed to find the rebellion and a doctor to help with Stormy's wounds.

Adarius had sent his second best guards to retrieve his runaway Queen. The spy that he had implanted with in the small group had been keeping him and his two men he had sent after them apprised of what was transpiring. While Adarius waited for the two of them to return with his bride he set up a plan to torment her. First he would hunt down her so-called mates and have them killed before her very eyes. The thought of seeing her finally break brought him such pleasure, then he was struck with an even better idea.

"I'll make her choose which of her beloveds will die by my hands first. "Adarius cackled as he moved around his bedchamber. "Then I'll move on to her siblings. No one will stand against me. She will finally be mine." He laughed as he tugged at the chain that he had secured to the

bedpost. "There will be no escape for my firefly this time. "Adarius growled, pleased with the thought of taking everyone Stormy loved and cared for from this world.

Silence had encompassed the entire building when a vehicle pulled into a garage, the male behind the wheel was covered in a crimson film. One of the new vampires hissed as he wanted to rush forward as the smell of the enticing liquid was carried through the garage. Jareth stepped from the car, one could see the hate that filled his eyes, his brother had been killed by Queen and her guard.

"What are you staring at?" Jareth barked as he saw everyone staring at him. "Don't you freaks have something better to do then gawk at people." He ranted as he slammed the car door hard enough to shatter the window. He really didn't care; his little brother was dead all because their King wanted his queen back. The pure vampire hated the woman that he had thrown into the trunk of the car like she was nothing more than luggage. As he neared the trunk of the car he could hear her moving around.
