Ever After

Chapter 25

“William’s Point of View”

I waited as patiently as I could. Doc and the elders were taking forever tracking Leo, and the Dark vampires down. I knew we had to do this strategically or risk her life, and the Followers who came along to find Corinne. I paced the floors, watched the weather keep getting worse.

I hoped she did not try run away, in this weather. Doc was extremely concerned that she might, and with her loss of ability to keep her body temperature normal, it would be fatal. I knew Corrine was head strong, and if she got the chance to run, I knew she would. That was my greatest fear.

Doc finally after two days, came in to tell me that Taylor had located the Dark coven’s location. Doc had sent Taylor because he was a former navy seal, and highly trained in becoming invisible. Taylor had just returned with news that the coven was in the middle of some kind of meeting. The old stone house tucked back in the woods was full of Dark coven vampires.

Taylor had also over heard they were in an outrage, one of their own had escaped with Corrine, and they were nowhere to be found. I felt sick, at his news. I knew she would do it, I just knew it. I could not figure out who the dark vamp was with her. It made no sense; their kind never helped our kind, not ever. I felt my heart sink, my chest tighten. I could not help but think she was gone from me, forever.

This beautiful amazing creature had come into my life and stolen my heart. A heart I thought not capable love, or such emotions. Corrine swears I saved her, showed her life was worth living. In reality, she had saved me, and shown me how happy I could be. She was my love and my life. I could not breath without her, I did not want to.

Doc rushed us to his black Hummer, we had no time. If it was as Taylor had heard, Corrine was out in the freezing weather, and with a dark vampire. Roth and I left before the others. I could not wait a minute longer for them. Doc and Pratt would follow Tyler, and Riley, a few others would follow them.

It was a long drive to the area the Dark ones were hiding. I knew each second was one we did not have to lose. So it began the search for Corinne. I would not stop looking for her ever. We followed the long winding road, next to the river to Doc’s childhood home once known as the Parker manor.
