Eisha looked around the mall. Trying on new dresses trying to see which one would fit her, the dresses she liked were set aside while the ones she didn't like were returned.
She went exploring by herself as Aldrin remained in the room with his mother. Eisha was impressed by the change of fashion. Seeing what the works had become made her happy.
Women were free to wear whatever they wanted. They weren't forced to wear clothes that were tightly tied around their stomachs. Making it difficult to breathe.
Society had become acceptable to her. She danced around in short skirts and shorts. Surprised at how well she pulled off the looks.
Exploring the new fashion made her happy, and her smile stretched from one ear to the other. She showered allure attention around, like a child letting her mind run wild.
She had found her new heaven. There were a lot of clothes that gave her a dark aura by just wearing them. They fit her well.
She found a pair of black boots that were slightly raised from the ground. She marched the shoes with black pencil pants and a brown blouse. Putting on a blazer on top of the look.
Looking in the mirror, she couldn't believe her eyes. "These clothes would have come in handy back then," she claimed.
No one understood how disturbing dresses were more than her. Running in vampire speed in the dresses back then was a nightmare. The clothes were right around the stomach, they were heavy due to the metal that was tied around them to make them flair and bouncy.
The dresses were one of the reasons she almost got caught each time she had to run. But the clothes she had on, gave her confidence and looked easy to run on.
"I look good," she complimented herself.
"Your taste in clothes is pathetic," she heard Emma's voice.
Eisha averted her gaze from the mirror to the girl. It was hard to keep her fangs inside, the girl was not worth it.
"I wonder how you attract anyone in them?" The girl asked.
"You are dressed so well. How come the one you want doesn't want you?" She fired Emma a question in return.
Emma's smile dropped. She couldn't shake how humiliated she was when Aldrin choose the annoying plain girl before her. She was prettier than Eisha and she deserved him more than she did.
"He is never going to go for you," she stated confidently.
Eisha placed a finger on her lips and inched closer to Emma. She leaned beside Emma's ear and whispered to her, "He already has."
The girl's anger flared up at her failure. She had come there to attack Eisha's confidence and break her. To make her realize that she wasn't meant for Aldrin but it was her that was ending up feeling so.
She shook her head and cleared the tears that had neared her eyes. She glared at Eisha. "You aren't of his class. It's only a matter of time before he realizes that and leaves you," she stated to her. "You can't keep him forever."
The vampire watched her with a smirk. She loved it when someone told her she couldn't do something, it ignited a flame inside of her to prove them wrong. And the drive pushed her to succeed each time.
"Forever is a long time, you won't live long enough to see me with him by then," she uttered feeling sorry for the mortal.
When she realized that Aldrin was also human. They couldn't be together forever. He was going to grow old one day and leave her behind. A reality that stunned her.
Eisha's smile dropped. The realization dawned on her that the man was with her for less than a hundred years, as a person who had forever to live, and that fact hurt her.
He made her heart skip a beat and thunder in her chest. A feeling that no other man in the world had ever been able to do and now she was realizing that the feeling had a deadline.
Her eyes moistened. The curse of being immortal hit her. Everyone she could ever learn to love was going to grow old and leave her. Her mood changed drastically. Her happiness went out the window as she frowned in sorrow.
Emma smirked thinking that she had finally realized the truth of her words. That was the reason she had lost her mood and grew sad.
Her lips curled up watching the confidence that Eisha had dim by the minute. Unaware of the thoughts that went through Eisha's mind, she took credit for her change of mood.
Eisha stepped away from her, she was no longer in the mood to shop. The fact about losing people had never troubled her because she didn't care about anyone other than herself. She didn't get too close to people or let them grow a relationship with her.
Now that she had let someone in, it dawned on her how bad the situation was. She strolled passed Emma, she stormed off.
Her eyes locked with Aldrin's eyes in the distance. She watched him, standing there looking as gorgeous as ever. Her heart jumped with joy upon spotting him.
Her face didn't change, she averted her eyes from him and rushed off in the opposite direction from him. He was going to leave her one day and she wasn't okay with that.
Emma was right, she couldn't keep him forever. Their relationship would last only for a while before he withers away and leaves her with memories of a person she can never get back.
She ran off from the mall, her vision clouded with tears. She didn't know where she was going, she just needed to get as far away from Aldrin as possible. A moment to think things through and decide what to do next.
Aldrin watched her run off, his mind was filled with a lot of thoughts. He didn't want to lose her.
