Standing in front of the graves,Riley's eyes teared up knowing her parents were no more.
She had tried hard being strong and didn't see them since she heard of their body being safe,she felt all walls she tried building break down immediately.
Emily held her closer as she whimpered in Emily's arms.
They had said their goodbyes to them,Riley was sad she couldn't invite anyone as they didn't want suspicions on themselves.
"Let's go"Riley stated wiping off her tears.
Emily nodded at her friend knowing how hard
she is fighting with herself because of the death.
The trio left,but this time Emily left with Riley
and Henry while the two brothers left together.
Emily had decided to stay a few more days to
recover from her injuries.
But the girls didn't know what awaited them back in the mansion.
They entered the mansion to a disturbing smell,
it smelled like smoke everywhere.
Walking through the corridor,they were greeted
by a dirty blonde haired woman.
Her eyes were purple and despite looking young
and petite in body,she had wrinkles shown on her face.
"Who are you?"Emily asked with a frown,
The woman held a tobacco cigarette on her hand,hearing Emily's words she brought the
smoke closer to her lip and puffed on it.
She blew smoke in her face making Emily frown,
she moved back and coughed.
"Are you crazy?"Riley raised her tone at her.
The woman smiled a little,moved closer to Riley who went backwards upon her movement.
"You must be the orsticle witch"she grinned.
That when it dawned on both girls who the delusional woman was.
She was the witch,who would tutor Riley on her powers.
"I'm Sara"she introduced to Riley.
"Riley"Riley stated staring at the woman.
"I knew when I smelled a tobacco"came the remark from Ryder behind.
He walked forward with a huge smile on his face and hugged the woman.
"It an honor to meet you again Sara"he says with much sarcasm.
"Would say the same Ryder"she retorted.
Ryder turned to the girls and frowned,
"Seems the Barbies aren't fond of you"he smirked.
"I wonder how they dealt with you"Sara sighed.
"I have a lot to teach you Riley"she says staring at Riley.
Saying that,she met the eyes of Ethan walking towards them.
"Sara"he frowned.
She immediately hid the tobacco behind her dress
staring at Ethan.
"You look hot"she remarked with a sensitive smile.
"You should let her go for now Sara"Ethan ordered,
"Yes,she truly is back from a funeral,back times I used to enjoy funerals"Sara smiled missing the old days making the two girls more uncomfortable.
She walked away from them going closer to Ethan,
"Shall we?"she smiled,
Ethan nodded stretching his arms out and she clinked hers to his.
They both left leaving the rest standing with the
two girls stunned while Ryder had a wide grin on.
"Human"he called out referring to Emily who still stared at Ethan and Sara's silhouette disappearing from the corridors.
She turned to Ryder,she felt her heart sting with pain seeing Ethan with the witchy lady.
"Do you hate her?"Ryder asked,
Emily glared at him,
"She could help Riley right?"she asked staring at the man.
Ryder nodded hearing her words and she walked away from there leaving Ryder standing with Riley.
"What his deal?"Riley asked with a frown knowing Emily was hurt right now.
"You should ask your friend as few days ago,
my cold hearted brother cared so much for her"he rolled his eyes.
Riley scoffed hearing his words which implied Emily was at fault.
"He shouldn't mess with my best friend"she warned glaring at Ryder before walking away also.
Ryder shook his head,
"This house seems to get more interesting now"he remarked.
Meanwhile Emily sat on Riley's bed while scrolling through her phone in nothing in particular.
Riley entered the room and sighed seeing her friend,she knew better than anyone how Emily felt as her heart was broken once by her best friend.
"Emily"she called out,
Going closer to her but was stunned when Emily raised her head to offer her a smile.
"Waiting for you,I'm hungry"she stated getting up to remove her dress.
She dropped her phone on the bed before taking off her clothes leaving just her underwear on.
Riley frowned seeing how she wanted to put on a fake smile for her.
"We should eat here"Riley stated
but Emily shook her head immediately.
"We shouldn't do that"
Emily says walking away to the bathroom.
"I will be quick"she yelled from inside.
Riley sat on the bed ignoring her friend,she would just let Emily settle her love life on her own as she was still getting to know the man who shocking is a vampire.
Both girls soon left the room dressed and ready for dinner while Riley could see Emily through her fake demeanor.
Knowing well her friend wasn't happy,but still
chose to let her handle her issues on her own.
Emily entered the dinning room with Riley behind when she saw a scene that turned her mood more sour.
There Sara sat close to Ethan with Ryder on the other side and Henry.
She chatted to him while Ethan listened keenly
not taking his eyes away.
"Oh my sister in law is here"Ryder announced with a grin loving the drama.
Ethan raised his head up to meet Emily's eyes before settling his gaze back at Sara.
Emily felt her heart clutch seeing him ignore her,
she didn't say anything and just took her seat with Riley who seemed perplexed now.
"Riley"Sara called staring at the girl,
She didn't bother with Emily and it was noticeable her hate for the human girl.
Riley stared up meeting her eyes to see the woman offer her a smile.
"Do you like butler Ross's cooking?"she asked the girl keen on her answer.
"Yes"Riley replied shortly not interested in any friendship that involves disrespecting her friend.
"I'm leaving tomorrow"
