143 143 These Are Meant to be Yours

"Yes, grab what you want and I will pay for it all." Cedric let her wanders around. He looked at the wallets but didn't grab anything.

Yuki separated from him and started looking at the purses. 'There are just so many different ones here. I like that there are so many different designs.' She reached out and touched a black purse when an older woman stepped out.

"You are as old as the wind. There are plenty of items that would match you but not out front. Please follow me." The old lady turned and led Yuki to the back room.

Yuki, curious on what the lady meant she decided to follow after her. Once she stepped into the back room she gasped. "Oh my! These are amazing." She reached her hand out and touched a purse.

"These designs hit me but I had a feeling that they would only be for the right person. You are the rightful owner of all these bags." The older lady bowed to Yuki. "You are a Queen like no other, I can sense that from you and you are not human but you do not tell me what you are. I am a witch and this is my last few years on the earth. My daughter will be taking over for me."

A younger lady was carrying tea into the room. "Mother you should be resting. I will entertain the customers. Please just for me go rest. I am sorry if my mother has said anything that has upset you." The lady started bowing.

"Nonsense she was nothing but kind to me. She brought me here to see these purses and wallets. I will take them all since she has decreed that they belong to me." Yuki touched the purses happily.

"Mother, I thought that you said these were not for sale?" The lady looked at her mother shocked.

"Darlene, I said that they were not for sale for normal people but that one is not normal. Just like that gentleman in the front that I sold the wallet too so long ago." the older lady smiled at her daughter.

"The one that has not aged since I was a child is out front?!" Darlene looks at her mother and then at the girl. "If you are like him that must me you are his partner." She bows to Yuki, "Welcome to Leather an' Such. I am Darlene and this is my mother Eva. We are the witches of time. If you are the one to get these then that means you are someone that will live for a long time. Everything in that collection was worked on by both my mother and me."

Cedric noticed that Yuki was not in the front anymore and stuck his head in the back. "Eva, you are still alive and well. It is good to see you again." He walked up behind Yuki and placed his arm around her waist.

"So you are with her. That is good, Cedric. I thought that you would not find that special someone before I left this world but I am grateful. I will not last much longer. Darlene will be taking my place when I pass on." Eva smiled and sat on the chair in the back.

"My mother has briefed me on you, Sir. I remember meeting you when I was a small child. I was happy to meet someone so handsome and now I see that you found the most beautiful bride." Darlene smiled and touched Yuki's hands.

Yuki felt a shock and got to look in the lady's past. Her hair and eye colour changed back to her natural colour from the shock and she turned to look at Cedric.

Cedric felt the shift and looked down at her. "You accidentally read her memories. It is not always by blood, that you could read them. Sometimes a simple touch will do. I know that is not what you want to hear but it is the truth. Your transformation reverted back due to the shock. If you are thirsty I will give you what you need. I can see it in your eyes." Cedric knelt down and waited to see what she would do.

Yuki looked at Darlene. "I am sorry for the surprise but I can not hold back my thirst right now." Yuki dropped her hands and turned to Cedric. She wrapped her arms around her neck and placed her fangs on his neck. She pierced the skin and drank the blood deeply.

"It is good that you guys are back here. Darlene, you can wrap up all those special items. As you can see she is the one that they are meant for." Eva smiled sweetly.

"Right away mother. I will take them up front and wrap them carefully." Darlene grabbed the whole collection of purses and carried them to the front of the store. As she started to wrap them up a lady walked in and started acting all high and mighty with her two friends in tow.

Yuki stopped drinking the blood. She looked out in the shop and her eyes gleamed before shifting back to blue. "There are other guests in the store. Cedric, there is a chance that she may need our help." She looked at Eva and saw the old lady shake her head yes but also beckon Yuki towards her.

"You are a sweet vampire that is why you are able to match his life span. I did not know about it before but after some time I was able to see how long he would live for it surprised me but at the same time with the right partner you would live equally as long. I can see your fate weaving in and out with his. Darlene will be alright but if you are concerned Cedric can take the wallets to her and then you can join after that. It would be funny to see them lose to a beauty such as yourself. You need a moment to go back to your unnatural hair colour and the eye colour is a bit off still."
