    Ada watched seeing a spiked collar and was confused as to what the device was. She tried to sit up, but knew her body was too heavy and instead her body slumped against the tree as she watched the scene in front of her unfold. She was confused as to what he was going to with the other vampire seeing him having wrestled him to the ground. She didn't know why, but she felt like the collar was a torture tool and that made her blood run cold.

    She watched as Augustus decapitated the other vampire. She screamed seeing the blood and head roll on the ground. She was unable to process what had just happened and was scared to see him beginning to head towards her. She scrambled at the ground trying to get away. "No!" She wailed not wanting to see the image any more. She felt tears begin to fall from her face and shook her head and fell back against the ground on her back and continued to sob.

    Augustus crouched beside her, "ssh relax," he said softly. He brushed her hair out of her face, "I'm not going to hurt you," he promised lightly. He noticed she was getting weaker, and needed help.

    He moved slowly and lifted her on his left shoulder, grabbing the body and head of the vampire with his other arm. He made his way towards the council building, knowing that they would probably be meeting to discuss his proposal, and both her father, and the village doctor would be there.

    He kept talking to her, promising her she'd be okay. He kicked on the door of the town hall, which was heavy Iron, he and made to keep him out. He wouldn't be able to enter the building without being invited, with it being designed a certain way.

    Ada shook her head hearing his words and looked up at him as he said these words and just whimpered having just witnessed a murder and knew she would be scarred for life especially from this. She sniffled.

    She felt him lift her up over his shoulder and shut her eyes tightly seeing the head and body in his other hand and just wanted to go away at the moment from it. She didnt want to see it. Soon enough, she felt him kicking on the iron doors and eventually she just stopped struggling so much and let her body fall against his knowing she needed to conserve the energy she had left.

    Andrew heard something hitting the door and went out to see what it was. He turned pale seeing Ada draped over Augustus' shoulder like some ornament and rushed forward calling for them to come bring something to lay Ada on so she could be taken to the doctor. Soone nough she was laying down on the cot and was carried to the infirmary. She winced as her head hit the pillow and let out a whimper from the pain. "What is the meaning of this!?" He yelled at Augustus his face turning red.

    Augustus could see the rage and worried in the face of the man. He tidied himself up closing his coats, knowing that the weapons might intimidate the humans. He stepped back from the door giving himself some room.

    "I was trying to track down the vampire responsible for the recent attack, I followed its scent, and stumbled across your daughter," he began. He paused considering whether he should mention their talk, "I introduced myself, and while we were speaking she was attacked."

    He kicked the slumped body on the stairs, "I gave him a warning to stop so we could talk, but he set upon her again, so I killed him, I brought her here because she was bleeding and beyond my skills as a medic, I'm sorry I didn't notice him sooner," he offered.

    Andrew glared at him waiting for him to answer for the things that had just occurred to his daughter. He shook his head knowign her mother was going to be worried sick. He had no clue what he was going to say had happened.

    He listened before looking down at the body. His face paled even more before he asked, "Don't tell me Ada saw that." He glared hearing his words and shook his head. "The elders decided they would agree to your proposition after much conversing and despite my objections." He turned on his heel to go see his daughter.

    Ada was still awake and had received a sedative to sleep as they examined her head. Once they were done, she woke up again to see her father and mumbled, "Papa." The memories of what had happened came back and she started to sob and held onto her father shaking her head trying to explain.

    Augustus frowned at Andrew "I'm afraid so, I tried to resolve it peacefully, but I didn't want her to be bitten," he explained. He nodded his head, "Thank you, and like I said please just think about letting Ada become my companion," he added.

    He picked up the corpse and left the steps heading off to dispose of it in the proper manner. He felt responsible for the village facing so many problems, he should of come home earlier.

    Andrew said, "The council has already agreed to Ada becoming your companion without my consent." He told him before leaving to hold his daughter. He sighed as he comforted his daughter knowing that she needed to heal before he told her of the council's decision hoping she knew that he would never promise her to a vampire.

    Ada soon fell asleep against her father having exhausted herself. Later, she awoke in her bed and cleared her blurry vision by blinking repeatedly. She sat up slowly wondering what time it was. She winced at her head touching it realizing she had bandages on her head. She sighed remembering how she had gotten them, letting her hand drop and wondered where her parents were. She stood up shakily before heading into the living room and saw her parents arguing and mumbled, "Papa? Mama?" She saw her mom crying and was confused. "What's wrong?" She asked.

    Augustus was annoyed that his instistance that the companionship be voluntary, and not forced upon them hadn't been followed. He knew because of it, in conjunction with what happened this evening, he'd struggle to get Ada to trust him.

    He disposed of the body and head up towards the Redfang manor. He needed to let his father know the the council had agreed to his proposal. He updated him on the situation and the recent attack. The town was clearly on edge, because of the day light attack, he new that they would have to make a show of force, or a grand gesture of some kind, to settle everything down.

    Augustus made his way to his guest house, which was located off to the side of the manor, near the forest. He had been an outsider since leaving to fight in the war. He stripped off several layers, his outside coat, his suit jacket, a series of straps and holsters, then his leather armour and undershirt. He then climbed into a cold tub to wash the blood off of himself.

    Ada was confused as to what was happening and watched them coming forward not wanting to see her mama crying. "Papa?" She asked looking back at him. He looked far older than he had in a long time.

    "Ada.." Andrew said before sitting them all down. He shook his head before saying, "Augustus Redfang made a request earlier today..In exchange for his help to keep the village safe again..he could pick a companion..The council mulled it over and agreed to it..except..He picked you, darling. I tried my hardest, but they overruled me, saying it was best for the village." He whispered watching as the shock went over her face.

    Ada shook her head not quite understanding. "I have to..I have to marry him?" She whispered. "They promised my hand...t-to him?" She looked at her mother seeing her beginning to cry again. "I won't ever have children?" She whispered sinking to the floor with dismay. She sniffled and said, "Oh, papa, he's such a brute!" She mumbled as she looked at the ground. "He took his head off without even a second thought." She whispered feeling her parents' arms go around her.

    Augustus sat quietly, cleaning himself off. He was hoping that Ada would be alright, she had taken quite a hard knock. He stood up and dried off, dressing up again, to go out patrolling. He was deadly serious about making the village safe.

    He was contemplating heading over to the Parlsey residence to check on Ada, and talk with Andrew some more about the situation. He didn't want him to feel this was a forced situation.

    Eventually his concern got the better of him, and he knock on their front door. He stood back from the door, not wanting seem intimadating.

    Ada calmed down and eventually went to bed having needed to rest. She curled up on her bed her mother stroking her hair having changed her bandages. She sang to her before hearing the door being knocked on. Shutting her door, she walked to the door opening it before calling for Andrew stepping away and heading to her room to pray.

    Andrew sighed seeing Augustus and said, "Is something wrong?" He asked frowning in concern not wanting to hear about another person having died. He didn't need that right now especially not after the council's ruling.

    Andrew watching Augustus wanting to believe that he was a good person, but he had seen too many bad people to even think of seeing him as a good one at the moment. All he saw, was the cause of his daughter's pain at the moment. But, if he hadn't been there, his daughter might have been killed.

    Augustus bowed to Andrew, "I just wanted to check how Ada was doing, and have a quick chat with you," he said lightly. He moved back, "come for a walk with me?" he asked lightly. He hoped that the man wouldn't be apprehensive about coming with him.

    He fiddled with a string on his coat. He wanted to let Andrew in on where he'd been for the last Century and what he was doing.

    Andrew crossed his arms over his chest as he watched him. He sighed and said, "Well, she's resting at the moment." He was surprised to hear him tell him that he wanted to have a chat with him. He sighed before grabbing his coat and heading outside towards him. He ran a hand throughout his hair gently.

    He watched him before saying, "What did you want to talk about and why?" He questioned. He looked over at him and blinked as he did so.

    Augustus walked slowly with the older man, "It's good to hear Ada is doing better," he commented quickly. He paused for a moment once they had some distance from potential evesdroppers. "I'm sorry the Council has forced you to agree to Companionship, I didn't mean for that to happen," he explained.

    He looked at him struggling to find words, "I don't want her to feel forced, so between us now, I would like to propose a solution, to begin with I don't expect Ada to marry me, how about for a year she just spends time with me, if she still doesn't want to do it after that, I'll very publically leave again, and then come back and continue to protect the village in secret," he offered.

    Andrew watched him, pulling his pipe out and beginning to light it. He sucked in before blowing out the smoke as he listened to him. He sighed hearing his words giving him a shake of his head. "I can't be too angry about their decision since they are thinkig of the safety of the whole village rather than just one person." He muttered gruffly.

    He watched him for a moment as he listened to him before frowning and looking at her. "I'll admit something to you. She wants children and if she goes with you, she can't do that." He told him sighing as he did so. He then said, "As long as you continue to protect the village, otherwise I can't agree to it beacuse while I fear for my daughter, I have to follow the council." He told him, turning his dark eyes up to Augusuts wondering what he would say to that.He sighed looking over at the fields stopping as he did so. He just wanted his daughter to be okay.

    Augustus nodded lightly, "I understand the position you are in, and as I said when we first spoke, having a companion isn't a condition of me protecting the village," he said. He frowned softly, "I feel responsible, I should have never left," he admitted.

    He moved to the fence and leant against it, "Are you aware of where I've been?" he asked lightly, pretty sure Andrew had no idea. He paused, "I was in Europe, there's a struggle going on between vampires, there are those of us that respect humans, and want to live among you or in secret, and those who want to wipe you out use you only as food," he began explaining. He looked down, "I went over there to fight, it was gruesome, it changed me."

    Andrew watched him and said, "No, but you said without a companion, you might get bored and leave again. And the situation right now is much worse than any of us on the council will care to admit." He said with a sigh and looked over and just said, "I don't know if you being here would have changed a damn thing." He told him. "Don't think so much of yourself, kid." He told him.

    He looked over and watched him. Hearing his question he said, "No, to be honest, I haven't seen you for years. So many so, that Ada didn't even know who you were." He told him. He raised an eyebrow as he listened and sighed. "I could tell considering you left a decapitated person on the floor. The maids hate you now, by the way." He told him not cracking a smile, but was trying to crack a joke. He then murmured, "Ada won't be able to forget either." He promised.

    Augustus nodded softly understanding the man's apprehension. "That's changed, I had been going crazy staying inside for the weeks that it took to get used to being back," he admitted. He stood up, hearing the man question whether his presence would improve the situation. "I am no kid, sir, I am into my fifth Century," he snapped.

    He remained looking intently at him, "do you know how many vampire's I've killed, three hundred and sixty two," he commented. He stepped back, "I apologise for the mess, but that was no person, and the body has been dealt with, I haven't been around civilisation for far too long, that's why I need someone to help ground me, teach me humanity again," he added.

    Andrew watched him before giving a sigh. He laughed hearing his snap before saying, "And yet you still act like my daughter." He mused. "Still impulsive." He told him before sitting down. "Meant no offense." He told him seeing that he had gotten miffed by it. He watched him for a moment before taking another inhale from his pipe.

    He listened to him before asking, "And how many humans?" He looked up crossing his arms over his chest as he watched him. "Don't apologise to me for the mess, apologise to the three maids that were cursing you and your family." He mused before watching him again and sighed. "Well, if there's anyone that as human as possible, it's Ada." He muttered feeling the events of the days started to affect him.

    Augustus paused remaining some distance from him, it was a habit he'd developed aware that humans felt nervous if vampires got too close. He looked at Andrew, "no offense taken, my actions have been questionable," he stated. He was aware that he should of left the corpse in the field rather than drag it through town, and possibly he should have chased the vampire off rather than kill it in front of Ada.

    "I'll leave you to get some rest, you look like you need it, send me a messenger if you want to talk," he said lightly. He turned to leave walked a few steps before turning back and stating "ten, one day maybe I'll tell you about them," then he was gone.
