A revenge so sweet

Prologue

"What's going on Silver?" Chase Redfern asked, grabbing her arm as she tried to run past. Silver turned to face him, eyes flashing dangerously. Her body shook with fear and built up adrenaline. "You can't just leave" He begged. "What's going on? why? Has something happened, Silver? Is it your parents? Tell me Silver please" His blue eyes were glazed with emotion and his voice was pleading.

Silver Drache turned to look at her best friend of 15 years. Slow tears sprang from her silvery orbs and her bottom lip twitched uncontrollably. She was scared, things were happening that she didn't understand. She didn't want to leave but her parents had said they were in danger. Something bad had happened and they had to move as soon as possible. She had overheard a conversation between her parents and hadn't wanted to believe it at first. But it was true. The Night World wanted them dead. She didn't understand why, her parents were perfect Night World citizens. Her father was royalty to the shifters and her mother a Harman witch. Granted shifters and witches never normally married and that the races normally kept to there own, but the Night World didn't seem to have a big problem about mix marriages. Did they? There had always been a slight discontent with it, but surly they wouldn't kill them for it. Maybe her father had broken some Night World law, or perhaps it was something to do with the reason her mother refused to use her witch heritage. The more she thought about it the more outrageous possibilities she came up with. Maybe her mother was human, she found herself thinking, but she knew that couldn't be true. Just because her mother didn't use her witch power didn't mean that she didn't. Her parents would be furious if they ever found out. They wanted her to grow up to be a pure Shifter and not a crossbreed.

It was only the sound of Chase's emotion-filled voice that snapped her out of her thoughts "Please tell me Silver. I'm worried about you"

"Oh god Chase . . . I'm so scared" She whispered as he pulled her into his strong embrace. The dark hared vampire was distraught, in all the years he had known Silver, she had never once cried or admitted her fears. "Shhh! It'll be alright" He tried to reassure, but her tears continued to soak through his shirt and her body still trembled against his. His heart tightened in his chest and he fought the urge to cry. He had to be the strong one now.

"Were moving away Chase. Tonight were leaving, I don't know where too. My father wouldn't tell me cos he knew I would tell you. He said it's too dangerous to stay, nobody can know where we go" She mumbled into his chest. It felt so good to be held by him, it always had. She would be lying if she said they were just friends, their connection felt stronger than that, much stronger. She could read him like a book and him her. "My fathers scared . . ." She pulled away and looked into his clear blue eyes "Chase he's scared" She cried, "He's never scared!"

Chase didn't know what to say. His heart was breaking, he couldn't loose her. not like this. He would be lost without her . . . an empty shell. Forcing his emotions back he asked, "What time are you leaving?" his voice cracked at the end and he mentally swore. He had to be strong for Silver, not an emotional wreck.

Silver pulled away from him and looked at her watch gravely. "Were leaving in ten minutes" fresh tears sprung from her glistening eyes and she wiped them away with the back of her hand. "I have to go" Pulling him into a fierce hug she kissed him sweetly on the lips before backing away, unsure of what to do. Pushing her mobile into his hands she whispered "Keep it, I'll find a way to call you. I promise"

Chase opened his mouth to beg her not to leave but was silenced when she pressed a slim finger to his smooth lips. Swallowing thickly, he clenched his jaw so hard that his teeth hurt and pleaded with his eyes. Shaking her head she slowly backed away from him and smiled sadly before running off into the night.

He watched her retreating form and felt his heart shatter into a thousand pieces, each shard cutting deeply. He nearly didn't hear her soft words as she left.

"I love you too Silver" he whispered to the darkness. A lone tear stained his pale cheek.
