Living With The Guilt

"No! I will live with this guilt forever Emily,I don't want to forget my parents"she smiled bitterly.

"Riley"Ethan called out,

She turned to him,

"You will stay here for now to learn how to control your powers so you won't kill anybody"Ethan stated.

Riley turned to Emily who nodded,

"You can trust him Ril"she whispered with a small smile.

"Ryder will take you shopping on your clothes"Ethan stated and saw a bored Ryder.

"Sure"Ryder rolled his eyes.

They had to keep it a secret from Riley and Emily that Ryder was the cause of Riley's demise.

"Let's go love"Ryder moved closer.

Riley rolled her eyes and left the room with Ryder behind.

"Are you okay little lamp?"Ethan asked going closer to the girl.

He pulled her closer and embraced her,

"Thank you for not running away"he whispered,

"Thank you for saving Riley"both of them held themselves longer.

Emily looked small in Ethan's body,she had a petite and slim body which made her look small in Ethan whose arms were wide and wrapped her fully.

"Ethan,I remember"she stated,

Ethan stared into her black eyes with a small frown,

"I met you few times when you saved me"she smiled.

"Came earlier to tell you and Ryder"she frowned,

Ethan patted her on her head,

"Forget that crazy brother of mine,he just loves me a lot"Ethan rolled his eyes.

"Let's watch a movie"Emily suggested,

"Sure,anything you want"Ethan smiled at her.

"Does witches live longer years like vampires?"Emily asked,

"No,they live just like humans,but most witches tend to live longer if stepping in dark magic which often led to them turning evil,wouldn't want that for you friend"Ethan smiled a little.

Emily nodded not wanting Riley to turn to something she couldn't handle.

"How old are you?"she asked the curious question she was burning with.

"Lot of questions,I have lived more than a century,a millennium,I'm an original vampire and of the first breed of vampires,we have many advantages than other vampires who could easily die or be killed,Ryder and my cousin Santiago are the only original vampires remaining,we can compel other lower class vampires and kill them easily but we can't be killed,witches are more fearful of us"Ethan explained as Emily took in the information.

She knew Ethan was strong but hearing he was one of the strongest vampires and of the main blood stunned her.

"You would have lots of enemies then"she stated with a frown,

"Yes,I hold more powers than other vampires,I'm the so called life span, a bridge between the vampires and humans stopping them from killing all humans and taking the world,they are hidden and live amongst your kind"

Ethan left the part on Emily's destiny to kill him and destroy the bridge between humans and vampires.

"Enough about vampires,let's watch the movie"

Emily knew why he had good looks and despite his age,he was still this young.

Hearing about his work,she didn't get why Ryder disrupted and caused havoc to his brother.

The movie soon started,they were watching a new movie which was aired recently, 'the deity'.

"Seen this movie recently and wanted to watch it but it was sold out,how did you get it here?"seeing it was amongst his collections of movies.

"Know the actor,she is an old friend of mine"

Emily was stunned hearing the famous actress Celine Anthony known as CA was a vampire,she felt more curious on the vampires that lived in the world.

"Are werewolves real?"Emily asked curiously,

"Yes,seen a few before they went into extinct when hunters had appeared,haven't seen any for a long time"Ethan informed her.

"The hunters,you mean vampire hunters?"Emily had seen stories about them and knew how vampires were fearful of them for they were said to hunt and capture vampires.

"Yes,hunters are born to kill vampires,they have their own lineage and few tricks on their sleeves"Ethan replied seeing how keen she was to know more about vampires.

"From earlier when Ryder talked about Riley's origin,she was from what lineage again?"Emily furrowed her brows forgetting Ryder's words,when the man was used to being annoying in his words.

"Orsticle witch,Riley holds more powers than most witches,her lineage is of the oldest witches which had come in existence after the vampires,they were all known to be killed in her lineage which your friend was saved from the killing of Orsticle witches,she will be in grave danger now her powers are out,she is harmful to all creatures and even herself if not careful"

Ethan knew telling Emily these could get her worried but he knew she wouldn't be happy if something were to happen to her friend,he wanted her to know about the information on Riley.

"How will she learn to suppress her powers?"Emily asked,

"She will learn from a witch herself,despite living amongst humans all her life,she will be more opened to the advantage and disadvantage of being a witch"Ethan explained more.

Emily saw how Ethan didn't look too keen on witches but she appreciated his help and felt she was liking the man more.

"Thank you"Emily muttered but Ethan heard her clearly.

Suddenly sounds from the movie began playing and Emily turned her focus to the movie with Ethan not even bothered by it.

Meanwhile a tired Ryder sat bored watching the

girl pick out clothes.

"Are you going to spend a whole day here?"he asked staring at her.

The shop keepers and other customers ogled at him seeing such an handsome man but they were disappointed thinking he was with Riley.

"You should let your partner choose sir,women loves clothes"the shop keeper stated with a small smile as she grinned more seeing the girl take out lot of clothes,she knew she would make a lot of money today.

"You hear her?"Riley stated while staring at him with pleading eyes.
