Saving Miss Roberts

Revenge

Quinn POV

It has been a week since mine and Hannah's first kiss. Also a week since Zander killed the wolf. I had noticed with everything new that happened between me and Hannah the gift was getting stronger.

I just wish I knew what would make it complete. I was sitting outside on the grass watching Zander and Hannah wrestle. Every time that Zander would pin her she would get even more frustrated, but she kept trying.

She came over and laid beside me I could tell she was exhausted. "I don't get it. Newbies are not suppose to be that strong." She said laying flat on her back.

"What's a newbie?"

She just chuckled, "a newbie is a newly turned vampire. It usually takes years for them to be able to control their instincts and learn to fight the way he can. I don't know I noticed a difference right away. He has no interest in feeding live, he only drinks from a cup, and oh yeah he killed a wolf." She said shaking her head.

I laid down beside her, propping myself up on my elbow. "Obviously it was meant to be that way. Your dad knew it also."

"Yeah well he knows everything and it's frustrating. I know he can't just tell me, but his stupid riddles get on my nerves. That's one thing I'm not looking forward to." She said.

"What does that mean?"

She looked at me quickly, "I'm the heir to the throne. If I complete my task successfully then I would take my fathers place. I don't necessarily want to be the leader, but my father has worked very hard on building this. I would not disrespect him."

I couldn't help but feel kind of hurt. Was the only reason she was protecting me was to take over the throne?

"Quinn I'm not doing it for the reason your thinking. I'm doing it because I care about you and I want to see you safe and alive." She said smiling at me.

"I thought you couldn't read minds?" I said teasingly.

She just looked at me, "I can't but I can read facial expressions." She leaned in to kiss me. Before our lips could touch I was swooped up off the ground. I started to scream until I realized it was Zander.

"What are you doing?" I said glaring at him.

"Getting my pay back." Before I could speak we were zooming in and out of trees. Up them, down them, and around them.

"Ok you have to stop I think I'm going to throw up." I could hear Hannah laughing as he sat me back down. I was feeling really dizzy so I laid back in the grass. "That was not funny,"I mumbled rubbing my head.

"Well you kind of had it coming. You did have him screaming like a girl." I playful slapped her shoulder, and smiled at her.

Even though we were playing around. Everybody was still in high alert. Trent had told us that the wolf that Zander killed had been moved. There was no scent so we knew she had found him.

Hannah had her nose buried in another book. That's all she's been doing the past week. "What exactly are you looking for?" I asked her.

She flipped through the pages and never looked up, "Meredith has to be in one of these somewhere. I just have to find it." She had probably already been through a hundred books.

Zander walked in eating an apple, "dude you can't even taste that." Hannah said causing me to laugh.

"It doesn't matter, I still like apples." He said walking over to a shelf and scanning the books. He picked one up and tossed it down to Hannah. "Try that one." He said smirking while taking another bite of his apple.
