Die For Something Beautiful

Chapter Fifteen

                                                                                  Amara's POV
          "Well Emily? How long have you been with them?" I ask her again.

          "Well...uh...ok you have to promise me that you won't get mad at me when I tell you." Emily replies.

           "It can't be that bad. Just tell us." I say.

           "Alright. I've been with them for most of their reign."

           "What?"

            "Seriously?"

            "Oh my god."

             "That's crazy."

             "Yeah, it's turned around the 16th century by my now ex-boyfriend. After I turned, I stayed to myself until I heard of these three young men who were going to be crowned. I went to them asking for protection."

             "Why did you need protection?" Alex asked.

              "Because one night, I was not as discreet as I thought I was being while feeding no some people saw me. They had even hunting me for almost two weeks before I went to the boys." Emily replied.

              "Wow. That's incredible. So what have you been doing with them? Like have you been given a job or anything?" I question.

               She shifts in her seat before answering, "I'm kind of like an advisor to them. I give them my opinions no advice on issues and such."

               "That's really cool! Why did you hesitate in telling us?" Cari said.

                "I thought you would be upset by how long I've been at The Underground." She said quietly with her head bent down.

               "We could never be mad at you because of that!" Karina says. The seven of us continue talking about a bunch of different things before we decide to all head home. Emily drops me off at home and she decides to head home herself.

                  I go inside and decide to head to bed early. I have the next day off so I plan to do nothing. After getting ready for bed, I lay in bed and read for a little but. Not long after, I fall asleep.

                                                                               *Next Day*
                I wake up the next morning feeling refreshed. I get out of bed and head to the kitchen to make some breakfast. After eating breakfast, I do some much needed housework. About halfway through my second load of laundry, my phone buzzes, signaling a text.

                 I look at my phone and see that the text is from Emerson. The text reads 'Hi Amara, it's Emerson. I have to go to the art store and was wondering if you wanted to go with me?' I text him back, agreeing. With the sudden change of plans once again, I put my original plans on hold and go get ready.

                  Emerson arrives at my house about 20 minutes later. Locking the front door, I walk up to and get into Emerson's car.

                   "Hey Emerson. How are you?" I ask. He smiles at me and says, "Hi Amara. I'm doing good, thanks.  How are you?"

                  "I'm doing alright." We then drive for a while in silence.

                  "Emerson is it ok if I ask you a couple of questions? There's still some things I'd like to know about the vampire world." I ask him somewhat quietly, afraid that he wouldn't want me to ask anymore questions.

                   "Yeah sure. I'll answer anything that I'm able to."

                    By that time, we had arrived at the art store. "So what exactly is going to happen at the Ball?" I ask. "It's just going to be a typical ball, but I suggest eating some food before hand." I was going to ask what he meant before it clicked.

                     "Ok. Next question, do vampires have any special powers?"

                      "A few of us do, yes."

                       "Do you?"

                        "I do. I can go into the Void. In other words, I can create pockets of space to be alone. I can also go inside my art as an extension of that." Emerson answers.

                        "That's amazing! What about Sebastian and Remington?"

                        "Sebastian can move things with his mind and Remington can manipulate the four basic elements. He also has a higher rate agility than us, which explains his hanging upside down and jumping. It's quite unusual for one of us to have one ability, let alone two."

                       "Wow that's amazing!" I tell him. The two of us walk through the store and I watch Emerson gather everything he needs. He gets a few packs of pencils, some sharpies and a few sketchbooks.

                        "Are you able to bring anyone with you into the Void?" I question.

                        "I've never done it but I'm sure that it's possible."

                         We head to the cashier and leave the store a few minutes later. Emerson drops me back at home and I tell him that I had a good time today. I head inside and sit down on my couch. It hasn't dawned on me yet, how close the Ball is.

Hey everyone!! Look at me uploading at my original time frame of every other day. 😂 anyway, what a chapter!! We learned quite a bit haven't we? Not only is Amara's friend like really old, but some of the vampires have special abilities! I tried to pick things that would fit with them, but I couldn't really figure out something for Sebastian so I just randomly picked one. And also, special shoutout to Mrs. Clockwork for inspiring me with part of Emerson's ability. Thank you!! And don't forget to comment and vote! ☺️💜
