    Andrew was aware of the distance that Augustus had put between the two of them and curious to know if he was scared or if he was just aware of the fact that he was uncomfortable around almost every vampire he had ever met. He gave him a nod hearing that he didn't take offense. He sighed before a minute and ran a hand through his hair tiredly.

    Hearing his words he gave him a nod. He blinked before sighing knowing that ten was not a huge number, but it was large enough to cause him worry. He went back into the house before kissing his daughter on her head and his wife and going to bed.

    *Skip*
    Ada awoke in the morning to sunshine filtering through her window. She blinked repetitively before running a hand through her gorgeous mouse brown hair and stood up looking in the mirror and seeing her head bandaged up. She got dressed before heading to her father's shop to help with storing things since his helping boy had ended up getting killed by a vampire.

    Augustus had continued to patrol the streets the rest of the night, catching scents, and trying to follow them. He was pleased that another attack didn't occur during the night. As the morning light illuminated the cloudy sky, he made his way home. He once again stripped down and cleaned off before retiring to his bed.

    Augustus was still getting used to sleeping on mattresses again, having become adjusted to thin bedrolls, or merely the ground, during his absence. He instructed for a notice of his position as enforcer of human and vampire relations to be deliver to the council for them to distribute if they desired. The notice informed the village that if they had concerns or wished to lay a complaint they should feel free to approach him at any time.

    Ada helped around the store stacking boxes as best as she could looking down and seeing a bruise around her throat from the vampire and sighed putting a scarf on to hide it hopefully. She busied her thoughts as she worked around. Soon enough, she was beckoned by her father to come and sit by him.

    She walked over and sat down looking up at him. "Yes papa?" She asked as she smiled at him kissing his cheek gently as she did so.

    "Ada, remember what I told you last night?" Andrew said gently holding her hands in his own shakign ones. He received a nod in confirmation.

    "Well, Augustus has asked for me to relay this message to you. He says he won't force you into anything you don't want to do, but asks that you spend a year with him, getting to know him before you make a final decision. And if your decision turns out to be a no, that he would still protect the town, but in secret."

    Ada was stunned and whispered, "Really?" She hugged him and said, "Does the council know?" She asked him.

    Andrew shook his head. "This is between the three of us. Even your mother won't know." He promised her. He was glad to see a smile on her face. "You look tired." He murmured to her touching her face lightly.

    "Oh, I'm okay, papa." She promised him.

    Augustus remained resting for the rest of the day nursing his tired muscles. He woke early in the afternoon and climbed out of the bed. He methodically tidied his home, and tended to his weapons, cleaning and sharpening them.

    He then began training with some new weapons he'd picked during the war, hoping to eventually master them. He was well aware that some advanced weapons took years to master, but he wasn't worried, he was keen to build on his knowledge constantly.

    Augustus wanted to hit the streets and begin educating the resident vampires of the rules that he would be enforcing. He had to wait until the council made the decision public though.

    Ada ate lunch with her father before heading to the store to get some milk for him as well as some oranges. Once, she was done, she saw a flyer having been made on the street saying that Augustus Redfang had publically made his announcement to protect the village.

    Biting her lip gently, she headed back to her father's store, dropping off the milk and food before grabbing taking off her scarf and finishing packing up her stuff. After she was done, she headed out, forgetting her scarf.

    She felt people staring at her, and frowned before trying to rush towards her house, keeping her head down as she did so. She ran her fingers throughout her hair as she did so. She bit down on her lip as she did so as she walked. Soon enough, she sighed and stopped wondering if she should risk going and getting her basket from the woods.

    Augustus left his home, immaculately dressed again, but secretly laden down with the tools of his trade. He made his way into the centre of town, noticing a few of the notices having been put up around the place.

    The now familiar scent of Ada caught his attention and he made his way towards it. He bumped into her not too far from her home. "Ada, it's good to see you on your feet," he said softly.

    Ada was in the middle of pondering on whether or not she should go get her home made woven basket when she heard someone say her name, and looked up blinking to see Augustus. Her sapphire gaze met his own and was a little slow to speak since she was, for the first time since meeting him, actually looking him over.

    She then murmured, "Hello." She had forgotten her scarf and now her the purplish bruising on her neck was showing. She ran a hand over her hair gently before murmuring softly, "My father told me that.. you want me as your companion. What does that mean to you?" She asked him, raising her head to look at him. Her hands were clutching her dress and were trembling.

    Augustus smiled softly at her, only slightly noticing the bruising. "I'm sorry you got hurt the other night," he said. He moved closer to her, looking her over again. "Well I've been alone, and separated from humanity for a decent while, so I'm just looking for someone to spend time with, talk to, that sort of thing, I want someone to help me learn to be me again," he added.

    He paused seeing her trembling, "am I scaring you?" he asked softly.

    Ada glanced up hearing his words before running a hand through her hair and murmured, "Well, i'm not dead." She gave a small sigh as she did so. She was aware at how close he was getting to her, and tilted her head up to be able to look at him. Listening to his words, she looked down and murmured, "Anyone could do that, so why me?" She asked him.

    She was surprised by his words and looked up and shook her head. "No, i'm not scared." She replied. She didn't know why she was trembling. She looked down at her hands gently watching them.

    Augustus kept his distance, he smiled softly. "I want to be honest, but I don't want you to freak out," he commented softly. He paused for a moment, "For some reason, ever since I got back, I've been smelling you everywhere I go," he admitted "It's intoxicating."

    He was hurt that she was trembling, "is it because of the other night?" he asked her softly. He wanted to explain things to her.

    Ada looked up waiting for his answer before she heard his words and was surprised and frowned gently confused on what he was talking about and mumbled, "Scent?" She ran a hand through her hair as she did so. She didn't understand what he meant.

    She looked at him and shook her head. "I'm not sure. Maybe." She whispered before looking up at him and biting down on her lip absentmindlessly.

    Augustus moved slightly closer, "You smell different to the others in town, and it's been intriguing me," he said softly. He paused, "I promise it's nothing to do with blood, or anything," he added.

    He nodded, "I'm sorry about that, I tried to let him leave, but he came at you again, I didn't want you getting hurt," he said.

    Ada watched him noticing him getting closer, but it didn't really bother her too much since he was still a fair amount of distance away from her. She frowned watching him and said, "Does everyone have a certain smell to them?" She asked confused once more.

    She sighed and murmured, "It was very cruel of you." She admitted before beginning to walk again heading towards her home. "Do you have to meet everyday or ?" She asked not knowing how it was supposed to work.

    Augustus looked at her, "Most humans smell the same, more or less, with little differences," he explained. He watched her expression closely, "I want to do some research about why you smell so different to me, none of my family has noticed a difference," he stated.

    He followed behind her slowly, "It's actually better to cut off a vampires head, the other ways of killing them are far more drawn out and painful, but honestly I was going to let him live until I saw how bad he hurt you, I needed to save you" he said lightly. He moved up beside her, "I would like that, generally I think what's expected is that you'll move in with me, but if that makes you uncomfortable you can move into my home and I'll sleep in the manor," he explained.

    Ada blinked and said, "That's...weird." She admitted to him before running a hand through her hair pushing it past her shoulder and said, "Oh, well..I'm not sure." She responded and continued to walk not wanting to stay in the same place for too long.

    She looked at him and shuddered shaking her head hearing his words and waved her hand wishing him to be quiet about the event she had witnessed. "Please." She murmured not wanting to relive it again. She looked over at him hearing his words and said, "Move in? Immediately?" She questioned having not expected this at all. She had expected them to just meet daily. She hadn't expected them to move in together and was a little shocked at this, though, she was sure that vampires had different customs. She came a stop slowly before looking up at him meeting his eyes with her own sapphire ones.

    Augustus stopped and looked into her eyes, "I'm in no rush with this Ada, I'm happy to meet with you whenever you feel comfortable, and work with what you want," he explained. He looked at her, "the village will probably be expecting you to move in, I'm not which is why I said if you're uncomfortable with that I'm happy to stay in the manor, you'll have your own space,' he said.

    He stepped closer to her and took her hands in his, "please just think about it," he said.

    Ada looked at him and sighed before murmured, "Staying in my own space would be far more comfortable." She admitted to him. She then said, "I help my father with his store since that kid he hired was murdered." Her face turned sad as she shook her head. "He was 15." She whispered before sighing.

    Feeling him take her hands, her breath hitched before she gave him a nod. "I will." She told him before walking past him quickly, the sudden whoosh of air causing her scent to surround him as she disappeared into her house.

    Augustus nodded softly understanding why she wanted to stay. He frowned softly, "That's why I want to help," he said lightly. He let her head inside, thankful she promised to think about it. Her scent hit him strongly, lingering in the doorway after she headed inside.

    Augustus took a deep breath, and made his way back onto the streets, to talk with the locals. Vampires and humans alike. He began letting them know of what was accepted and what wasn't.

    Ada just lingered at the door, leaning her back against it before taking a deep breath and going to set her things down. She then sighed and sank to the floor gently and put her face in her hands as she started to think. She didn't know what to do. She figured she would just play along, but she didn't want to. She didn't want to know what would happen if one day he lost his temper.

    She sniffled beginning to cry before finishing and sniffling feeling very tired knowing her wound was starting to affect her from the day. She then headed to the kitchen and started to cut up vegetables for dinner.

    Augustus headed home after several hours of walking the streets in silence, watching the people. He went about his usual ritual, stripping down, cleaning off, tending to his weapons. He headed to his study to do some research. He needed to learn why Ada effected him so much.
