Land of The Dead

Ada shook her head hearing his words and murmured, "I'm too scared of them to fancy him, Papa." She looked at him and held his hand close squeezing it tightly. "Never." She whispered looking at him intensely. She then sighed and replied, "I don't think I could ever want that."

Her father nodded softly, "I'm glad, honestly, Augustus has surprised me, He has been able to reduce the disappearances already, and the other vampires in town have informed me of where he's been," he said lightly.
He looked at her intently, "I'm reasonably sure, you'll be safe with him," he said.

Ada watched her father having finished her oatmeal. She nodded her head and murmured, "I met the elder Redfang last night, Papa." She bit down on her lip and said, "He told me if Augustus doesn't treat me right, he'll punish him." She shook her head and said miserably, "How did I even get mixed up in this world?"

Her father raised an eyebrow, "Leonardo is still here?" he asked softly. The older vampire hadn't been seen in centuries. "My sweet Ada, you have the distinct misfortune of having caught the eye of a vampire, just be thankful it's one that doesn't hunt humans,"

@ FlyAway;

Ada nodded her head. "Yes, Papa." She murmured and said, "He seemed nice, though." She sighed running a hand through her hair. She blinked hearing his words and felt herself sigh once more putting her head on their hands and whispered, "Why me?"

He nodded, "I know dear, it's hard to deal with, but it's probably because you are the most beautiful woman in town," he said softly. "Just be careful," he said.

Augustus had woken up, and was doing his rounds of the vampires in town, checking that they were all okay, and behaving.

@ FlyAway;

Ada sighed hearing his words and smiled softly knowing that not everyone agreed with that. She kissed his hand and nodded her head before beginning to do the dishes.

She finished up and walked with her father to work sighing as she noticed that the store had been broken into. "Papa.." She mumbled seeing the damages. She shook her head and started to clean it up as much as she could, knowing that sme of the things needed professionals.

@ A Drop On the Window

Her father sighed softly, stepping into the store carefully. He looked around at the damage.

Augustus was heading home past the church, which was down the street from the Parsley store. He hadn't noticed anything yet.

@ FlyAway;

Ada frowned gently wondering what it was about. She knew none of the villagers would have done it, until she noticed the words on the wall. "Fang lover." She looked away wrapping her arms around herself feeling like she was going to be sick.

She stumbled into the street for a second leaning against the wall fr support.

@ A Drop On the Window

Augustus glanced down the street as he went past, and saw Ada stumble out of the store. He turned down the street and made his way over to her.

"Ada, what's wrong?" he asked softly.

@ FlyAway;

Ada steadied herself leaning against the wall as best as she could. She looked up seeing Augustus and said, "They've ruined it." She pointed to the store shaking her head. She pulled away from him and just stared at the ground needing to have her moment.

In her head, all she could do was blame Augustus for what had happened, even though she knew that it wasn't his fault.

@ A Drop On the Window

Augustus sighed softly, and stepped into the store. He saw the words on the wall, a flash of anger rushing over him. "I'm sorry, Sir," he said as he saw her father.

Augustus took a deep breath, catching the scent, "What do you want to do about the culprits?" he asked.

@ FlyAway;

Ada knew she had been attached to the store knowing that it was their pride and joy and it kept everyone in town happy. She couldn't believe someone had done this. She collected herself before entering again.

Ada's father sighed and saw Augustus and nodded his head before saying, "Bring them to justice, let the council decide. I don't care. It won't fix this." He murmured seeing his daughter.

@ A Drop On the Window

Augustus sighed, "I'll go figure out who it was, then we can figure it out later," he said lightly. He looked apologetically at Ada. "I'm genuinely sorry, I didn't think anything like this would happen," he said.

@ FlyAway;

Her father nodded his head.

Ada just nodded lightly hearing his words and just went to work cleaning up the store again, starting with the wall they had written on. She brought it down and just threw it away and out of her sight.

She took a deep breath before starting to clean again doing as much as she could knowing that there were customers that needed things.

@ A Drop On the Window

Augustus made his way out of the store, following the scent he'd caught in the store. It was difficult to catch with the amount of Ada's scent around the area, but he headed off in the right direction.

@ FlyAway;

Ada watched as Augustus left and hoped he found whoever did this. She looked around frowning once more knowing that the rest was going to be up to the boys since she couldn't lift all of the heavy stuff. She looked down at the piece of paper in her hand before beginning to write down all that needed to be repaired.

@ A Drop On the Window

Augustus followed the scent all the way to a house. He made note of the location, and who lived there before heading back to the store.

"I found the home of the one responsible, couldn't get inside," he informed Ada's father, handing him a note of the address. He moved over and began picking up some of the mess.

@ FlyAway;

Ada looked up seeing Augustus back in the store and watched her father read the address before hearing him say a name. "William Prochnow?" He said stunned.

Ada blinked and said, "William? He did this?" She asked shocked and shook her head sitting down and bit down on her nail. "Makes sense, I guess." Her father muttered softly.

@ A Drop On the Window

Augustus continued to lift the heavy stuff back onto the shelves. He looked at the pair of them, "This seems like a problem for villagers, I think I'll head home" he said quietly. He could tell they needed some space.

"Come get me if you need me," he commented heading towards the door.
