Made of Ice

Chapter 7 - Shadows of the night

Maybe she deserved a psychopathic killer after her. Maybe it was her karma for being a bitch. Maybe Madison deserved to be killed next. After all she did kill someone herself. But there's always two sides to every story and Madison never wanted to kill her. She barely knew the girl...

"She deserves to die. She's trouble." He says, enjoying every moment.

"Why can't you do it?" She asks him.

"You're the Queen, you should be the one to do it." He says bluntly to her.

She raises her eyebrows at his excuse for a reason. Why should she have to do it, she is the Queen as he so kindly put it. She shouldn't have to get her hands dirty!

The boy slowly reveals a gun in his hand that he had kept hidden in his back pocket for this very occasion.

He slightly raises the gun in her direction. Enough for her to know it was either kill or be killed. In the end she picked the latter. She chose to live another day. Become a killer but also a survivor, at least that's how she liked to put it.

The Queen raises the shovel and slams it onto the girls head. Her entire body flinches at the sight of the now dead girl, no longer breathing.

Madison looks up at her boyfriend. His gun no longer in his hand and safely back in his trouser pocket, smiling smugly at her. Pleased with her work.

His eyes all of a sudden darken as he looks at the dead girl and spits on her.

"No one can know." He says.

Now there was definitely something she and Logan could agree on. It was a secret.

Unknowingly as they both began to bury the body, it would be a secret that was going to bury them both in the end.

Back at the party...

Jake Owens and Logan Bradley stood in Brooke's basement talking strategy.

"We use her secret to control her, to take her down. So why in hell does she still think she has power over us?!" Logan shouts at Jake, violently slamming his fists on the table in front of him.

"I'm telling you this is a long-term plan Logan, you can't think that we can take her down within a week, she's been on the throne for years." Jake replies, trying to prolong this pretend relationship with the Queen for as long as possible.

"But you told me it would be done by the end of the week." Logan says confronting Jake, gritting his teeth.

"I've had a think about it and it's only going to work if we take it slow and steady."

"Do you have feelings for her?" Logan asks him, his blue eyes turning darker by the second.

"Of course not!" Jake says.

Even though Logan knew Jake was downright lying. He could use this against him when it came to crowning the long awaited King of Graycott. Once Madison was dealt with, Jake would be dealt with too and while Jake could play fantasy happy endings with Madison, Logan could take the crown all for himself.

Logan was right of course. Jake was in fact fantasising about a happy ending for him and Madison, the future King of Graycott with the Queen by his side. They could rule the town, and possibly the world.

Sadly, in the small town of Graycott, people very rarely have a happy ending.
