The King's Queen(Book 3 Of The Underworld Saga): An Emo Love Story

Chapter XVIII - Eyes Set To Kill

When I woke up the next morning, I just went to the porch of the cottage. The sun hadn't rose and it look like snow fell. The pain coursing through my body started to act up. I walked back inside and I felt an arm around my waist, pulling me tightly. "Good morning."
"M-morning."
"Still shaken from last night?"
"Y-yes." I am shaken from since last night.
"And I can tell you're hungry."
"I-I'm fine. You don't have to." I literally plastered a fake smile on my face. I just hope Grannum and the guys find me.
The Rift, 0530 hrs...
Grannum's POV
Time to save an angel.

Understand, open your eyes, and you'll see
I'm not here to judge you, I'm not here to preach
My role here's to guide you as we search through your past
So let's all get started, together at last
Each of you left a loved one behind
How long do you expect them to live on and SURVIVE?
COUNCIL OF THE DEAD!
WHO DO YOU EXPECT WILL BE JOINING US NEXT?
LIVE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT FEAR OR REGRET
BECAUSE ONCE YOU'RE DEAD, THERE'S NO POINT TO LAMENT!
I know this all may be hard to believe
But the sooner you accept it , the sooner you'll see
Hear us screaming it's bound that you'll see
The depths are the lock, but your lives are the key

Rest, rest in peace dear deceased
Tell us all your story
Scream, shout, let it out (SCREEN SHOUT, LET IT OUT)
It's hard to make a sound when you've fallen asleep
Caught in a dream, far from reality
Scream, shout, let it out (SCREAM, SHOUT, LET IT OUT)
'Cause it's all over now

Resin, Argent, Rayne, Wolf, Seth and I stood at The Rift. "She's here. I just know it.
"How're we doing this, Grannum?" Rayne asked.
"Wolf, Seth, take the left, Rayne take the right, Resin, Argent and I got the middle. Watch your backs and keep in touch."
"What's our handles?"
"Rayne, you're Beast, Flame is Wolf, Seth is Tree Trunks and we're Skeletor.
"Tree Trunks. Reminds me of Adventure Time." Rayne giggled.
"Haha, very funny, Raynicorn." Seth looked serious.
"Alright, let's head out." We split into our locations.
Rielle's POV
"H-Hi." A scared little girl said.
"Hi. I'm Rielle, what's your name?"
"Erica. He got you too, did he?"
"Who, Rain? Yes."
"He's a monster. A heartless monster."
"I noticed." I sat down next to her. She was so cute. She looked battered and bruised but she was still beautiful, she only wore a black bra and black underwear, she looked like she was chained and collared. "I'm scared."
"You'll be OK." I gave her a hug and she felt safe in my arms.
"He hurts me. He told me I'm his kitten."
"The one who chained you?"
"Y-Yes." I held her tightly when a shadow came around us.
"Yes, Rain?"
"I want to show you something." He held out his hand. "I'll be OK. You'll be OK."
"Be careful." She yelled.
He took me to a dungeon. Straps, whips, chains, the whole kit and caboodle.
"Rain, what do you intend to do to the other girls here?" I questioned.
"Not torture them. But make them feel pain."
"Pain."
"Yes, the pain I felt trying to get you."
"They don't deserve this."
"I know, but I deserve you."
"You're a fucking monster."
"A monster? HOW CAN YOU CALL ME A MONSTER AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE DONE FOR YOU?!"
"FOR ME? YOU DID THIS FOR YOU." I started to back away until he pinned me to the wall at an unbelievable force. I passed out when I looked into his eyes. The eyes of a monster.
North Gate Forest, 0700 hrs...
Grannum's POV
"Red! Red, where are you?" It's been a few hours since we started looking. The shivering cold is unbelievable. "Grannum, that kiss you gave Hayley last night, was it really a goodbye kiss?" Argent asked. He looked serious.
"Of course it was, you know that."
"I know, but just because she's reforming a crush on you, it doesn't mean that you'll just walk right back in, dude."
"Arge, you know I wouldn't do that, you're like a brother to me."
"Alright." We wondered aimlessly through the forest.
"Hold up, I'm getting a scent." I smelled something that smelled like Red. It's Red's bullet necklace.
"She's leaving breadcrumbs. Her scent's still fresh. 7 hours old."
"Guys, this is Skeletor. We got a scent, repeat, we got a scent."
"We're on our way, Beast and Tree Trunks out."
"Roger that, I'm 2 miles out, Flame out."
We followed the scent and it lead us to another breadcrumb and a note.
Guys,
If you're looking for me, be careful. Rain has guys patrolling the forest for you guys.
Signed,
Rielle.
"The game has changed."
"Grannum, what's your plan?"
"Take out the patrol team except one member, interrogate him where the cottage is, get Red-"
"Get her out of harm's way-" Wolf butted in.
"Take out Rain." The others finished what I had to say.
Rielle's POV
He did it again. Just like the first time he did it.
I woke up, I was chained to a chair. "You're awake."
I started to whimper. "Why are you doing this?"
"I tried to be nice, but you left me no choice."
Grannum, where are you?
