Pulling her out from the dark

Amber isn't ready to leave without trying to get Kevin his emotions on and I am sure, she is gonna fail in that miserably !

I know my brother, he doesn't gets affected easily and now, he is not himself. He'll be worse than ever !

We found him in a strip club and he was surrounded by girls and Amber was hurt watching him like that.

She asked him to talk with him alone and he misbehaved with her. He grabbed and pulled her along with him and left her in the motion to fall, but luckily I got her.

She was innocently trying to get him back and he was blabbering bullshit for her, I couldn't take it and punched him in the face.

He started bleeding and his mindless and stupid wolves started growling at me !

How dare they ?

They want to pick up a fight with me ? An Original ? Though, their bite is lethal for me; but I am way stronger than them right now !

Before I could say anything, Kevin asked them to calm down.

" Relax guys, just brother's matter. He have a soft corner for the girl. And besides, I won't recommend you picking up a fight against an original ! Vampire or wolf, he is an original, so. "

Kevin said casually.

" Come on Amber, let's go. He is beyond redemption ! He'll only hurt you. Just let's leave. "

I said grabbing her hand.

" Not yet ! You will have to fight with us and if you still survive, then you can go ! "

A Wolf side crossing his arms.

Like seriously ?

He wants to fight with me ? Can't he listen to his Alpha ? I was about to ask Kevin to get him out of my way when, he growled again at me; challenging me !

" Tell your stupid wolves to stay away from me brother. They'll die and you won't be left with any wolves to be called their Alpha ! "

I said to Kevin.

" Scared already, without even trying ? "

The Wolf said provoking me.

He really doesn't love his life ! I bared my fangs and hissed at him. He came running towards me and I snapped his neck and he fell on the ground; dead !

Kevin smirked at me. I know he is feeling proud of me. He loves watching me snapping necks of my enemies without moving an inch from my place.

" Anyone still want to fight with me ? You can try; only if, hate your life and want to end it ! "

I said.

They all started growling. I removed my cufflinks and gave them to Amber.

" Hold them for me, darling. "

I said handing them to her and folding my sleeves.

They all came rushing together at me and I hit them hard. Few with my legs, few with my hands. Ripped few of their hearts and throats. They couldn't last for more than few minutes.

" Ugh ! "

One of them bit my arm !

" Ethan ! "

Amber gasped in horror.

" Bad doggie ! "

I said.

I ripped his heart out. And Amber came running towards me.

" Oh my god ! Ethan he bit you. A wolf bit you ! Oh my god...

What...

How should...

What can I do ? Oh god, oh my god... "

Amber said panicked.

She was so freaked out to see a wolf bit me. Kevin already told her what a wolf's venom does to a vampire and she was ofcourse worried for my life.

It feels good to know that she cares for me.

" Relax, darling. Calm down. It's ok... "

I said trying to make her calm down.

" No it's not ok ! It's gonna turn worse and then... It's poisonous for you ! How can you ask me to calm down knowing what's gonna happen ? "

Amber said panicked.

" It's ok, I am gonna be fine ! "

I said holding her hands.

" How will you ? Don't take it easy Ethan. It's very dangerous and... "

Amber said taking her hands away and grabbing her head in helplessness.

" Trust me, I am gonna be alright ! "

I said caressing her head.

" Don't give her false hope, brother ! "

Kevin said scoffing.

I grabbed her hand and took her to table and gave her some water to drink.

I took my cufflinks back from her and tightening them at my cuffs.

Kevin was sitting relaxed oblivious about what was I gonna do. I went to Kevin and sinking my fangs into his neck, I drank his blood and the wound healed up.

He wasn't expecting me to do that and so, he couldn't stop me from having his blood. I caught him off guard and succeeded in my plan.

I have known him my entire life. He is so egoistic that, he doesn't think anyone can beat him at anything and he is superior to everyone in the entire world as, he is immortal and nobody knows how to kill him ! And I used exactly that to get his blood.

I knew he was sure that I was gonna die from lack of his blood and he was at ease to think that I might steal it from him !

" Aahh ! Hey, I didn't said you could drink my blood. I didn't gave you the permission to do so ! "

Kevin said shaking off the blood drops from his shirt.

" Well, I didn't asked for ! Nor did I asked your stupid wolf to bite me. So, shut up. Let's go, Amber. "

I said wiping my mouth clean.

I picked her up in my arms and rushed towards our hotel. I booked our tickets for next day and returned home.

She was sad. She wasn't eating properly nor sleeping well. She stopped coming out of her room and whenever I saw her glimpse, her eyes screamed, she cried a lot just now !

I didn't liked her like that. But there was nothing I could do. She wasn't ready to talk it out with me. She gave up talking completely after a few days.

I have to do something to get her out of the hell she is in !

I started talking to her even though she didn't wanted to respond and made her eat by blackmailing her that, I'll erase each and every memory she had with Kevin !

After a month or so she slowly started eating on her own, talking to me as well as Daniel and Steve. She started getting sleep as well. I started taking her out every evening to some park where she saw children playing and enjoying their lives to the fullest.

She slowly started smiling and laughing like before; but still I could hear her screaming,

' Please, don't leave me. Come back to me, I am sorry. Please, don't do this to me ! '

While she slept.

That was heart breaking watching her like that. But she was better than before. She almost stopped crying.

Few more months passed and she started spending more time with me; willingly. I didn't forced her to do that !

One day we returned from the park and I made her lasagna, her new favorite dish. After dinner, we were talking in the living room and she was sleepy.

" Get some sleep, Amber. We can talk tomorrow. "

I said caressing her head.

" Yes. Um...

Can I ask for something ? "

Amber asked hesitatingly.

" Since when do you require my permission to ask anything, darling ? "

I said.

" Um...

It's...

Um... "

Amber was still hesitant.

" Say it Amber, whatever it is ! "

I said caressing her softly.

" Can you...

Stay with me till I fall asleep ? "

Amber said sheepishly looking down at the floor, as if, she asked me for my life !

" Ofcourse I can ! What's in it to say it like you were gonna ask for my life ? "

I said caressing her cheek.

She smiled innocently.

" Um...

No, I thought you might feel it weird and deny me and if, you had done that... "

Amber said without looking at me.

" Have I ever denied you anything, darling ? "

I asked raising my eyebrows.

She shook her head.

" Stop being so formal with me. We are better than that and you know it ! "

I said getting hurt.

I didn't expect her to change her behavior towards me just because Kevin isn't here. Does that means, she was comfortable around me because of him ? And she felt safe with me because he was there to protect her and she didn't though of me as her friend in the first place ?

She slowly came to me and wrapped her arms around me, putting her head on my chest. I hugged her back and caressed her head and kissed the top of her head.

" You know, you can ask anything from me without hesitation. I would love it if, you won't act like strangers with me ! "

I said assuring her.

She tighten her grip around me and nodded her head. I didn't heard sniffing but my shirt was wet her tears. I put my head on top of her and caressed her back and let her cry.

I carried her to the bed and lay her on it gently and sat beside her. She turned towards me and putting her head on my lap and wrapped her arms around my waist.

I patted her head and hummed a soft tune my mother used to sing to me. In all these years, I forgot the lyrics of the lullaby; but I still remember the tune.

Listening to it she fell asleep quickly.
