Effects Being The Bridge

The vampires kept on attacking and killing the people in the mansion.

Ethan stepped out from the room to see the commotion outside.

"Order them"came the words from Kali.

Ethan frowned not understanding her words,

"Stop!"he yelled and soon enough the vampires seized their fights listening to his words.

Ethan felt a sharp pain at his back while the vampires stared at him.

"I'm the bridge between us vampires and humans and anyone who tries to bring this two world together has to kill me"Ethan's eyes had fire in them.

The vampires were scared and all stared at Ethan with no one wanting to fight the scary vampire.

Ethan had more power now,he could order the vampires without having to compel them due to him being the life span and their master now.

"Go home and blend in with the humans and never expose your kind to them"he ordered again.

They all dispersed immediately leaving the mansion with few dead bodies on the floor.

"Where is my husband?"Grace spoke from behind,

Her clothes bloody and at the verge of death,

she was attacked by the vampires.

Henry stared at her knowing she was Austin's wife,

"We should get you treated"he took her hand and led her away.

Ethan felt more pains and left the corridors where the guards were already cleaning.

"Are you certain he is okay?"Ryder asked,

Kali sighed,

"Ethan is stronger than any vampire,and now these powers of his will cause pains for him but he can't be killed. A woman will be born who will take his life and destroy the bridge"Kali gave out all the information to Ryder.

"I will kill her"came Ryder's words not wanting to lose his brother.

He was selfish enough to let him serve as the bridge between the two kinds and now this.

"Humans may be weak but they are the most vile creatures,it wouldn't be easy searching for the human who is yet to be born"Kali smiled.

Meanwhile grace laid on the bed while bleeding profusely.

"The physician is here"

The physician entered and immediately started treating her wounds.

"Where is Austin?"Grace's eyes filled with tears,

Henry wanted to ensure her health first before telling her the breaking news but knowing the vampiress wouldn't accept not hearing about her husband now.

With no choices left,Henry spoke up to the woman,

"He is dead"followed with explanation on the occurrence of the death.

The woman broke down,devastated hearing her once honest and sweet husband had died for the betterment of the land.

Emily slept on her bed that night still having doubt about Julian's words.

She had decided to keep her distance from the man knowing he was a vampire and Ethan's enemy.

Julian had saved her and knowing of his involvement with Sara made her more uneasy if Sara had plans for Ethan.

She didn't know Ethan well enough but Emily's likeness for the man had made her trust him.

Riley sat on a chair in her room while practicing some spells she had learned from Sara.

"Casmato sato linda"she incanted the words and suddenly the lights turned off.

"Casmato dia"she spoke again and the lights turned on.

"Having lot of fun I see"Ryder spoke startling the girl who was excited with her powers.

"What are you doing here?"she glared while catching her breath.

"You shouldn't be scared cause witches are powerful and your kind is as powerful as a vampire,an original vampire"he smirked.

"Why giving out these informations? Not scared I can go against you and kill you if I become powerful?"she teased,

Suddenly Ryder was in her front,making her gasp at the sudden closeness.

"Getting used to my abilities I see"he smirked,

Riley felt out of breath with him this close and remembering their interaction when he had teased her before made her blush.

"Thinking about that day"he teased more.

Riley's eyes widened hearing his words and she glared at him before pushing him away.

She stood up and ran to her room's window shutting it as the night breeze had blew it opened.

"Heard you went to a party,with the little human"he spoke showing off his distaste for Emily.

"Yes and my friend isn't a little human"Riley turned to him with more deadly glares.

"You should warn Emily to be more careful,might not know when she will get slaughtered"he says with a smile.

Riley's eyes opened hearing his words and before she could retort,he had already disappeared from the room leaving her alone.

Riley sighed shaking off Ryder from her mind knowing how the man was being more alarming and disturbing yet she couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards him.

Scrolling through a tattered and old paper written with ink and the words on the paper foreign.

Ethan sighed deeply still not able to process what

the dead old witch had left for him before her death.

Feeling a stabbing pain from his back made him wince,a familiar pain he was used to since he became the bridge between the two kinds.

Ethan's room wasn't bright as the night wasn't,

he could see in the dark room due to his vampire's ability.

Facing the mirror to stare at his reflection before turning his back to see long veins appearing behind.

The cottons blew and the moon's light shone showing off the long red veins which drew lines in the tattoo at his back.

Ethan felt more pain and discomfort than ever,something no one knew but him.

He had kept his pains a secret and the only person who knew of them was Santiago,he didn't want Ryder finding out.

Ethan didn't know if dying was the only solution to stop the pains he suffered,thankfully it was always during a lunar eclipse which happened every six months.

Still unable to read the letter in the paper which Ethan knew was help to his situation.

The pains were unbearable and it got worse after meeting his life span.
