"You can't be serious" She heard
Valis groan.
"That is just...beyond idiotic" He added. Adeline had to stop herself from turning back and kicking him out of the window. First of all, she wasn't trying to seduce her way out. She was simply introducing herself. Besides, she was 306 years old, yet still not married; that was a woman's biggest nightmare! Though, she was a vampire and she didn't have to worry about time. Adeline shook the thoughts out of her head and brought her attention to the sheriff.
"Hello, Miss Adeline. Benjamin Ford." He introduced and took his hat off.
Tall, check. Black hair, check. "Oh I know it was Valis, which he'll be paying.... Although I was here to make sure everything is okay, I would also like to welcome you to our small town. Brooksfield is known for it's vampires, and if you plan on staying, there are a few things id like to inform you on." His voice was rather warm, but it held an air of authority.
"Vampires aren't necessarily welcome in the town. Of course with you being new, I'm not going to do anything to make you mad at me, or rationally. Vampires have agreed to staying in the forest and not cross the boundaries, and the citizens here are not allowed in the forest... Although if you would like to show that you are in control of your abilities and would like to cooperate with the town, you are more than welcome to register. It's not a tracker, or a parole, just something to make sure we know who is who and liability..."
"If you do not become ID'd, and wish to live in the forest, let me be very clear. I don't mind people like Valis walking in here. He's harmless, sure a smartass, but harmless. If I find out, though that you cause any harm or death in this town, and I get very upset." His voice grew cold at the end, it would even make a stone shake in uneasiness. "The Protectors are here to protect both sides. If you listen to the rules set up long before I was born, we will be fine..."
Live in the forest.As soon as Adeline heard that part, she knew she was going to register. What kind of lady would want to sleep on a tree? No comfy bed to sleep in, no television, and most of all, no bathroom! "Hmm, I see, I see." She said with her eyes narrowed, like she was pondering hard about something. "So all I have to do is register, not cause any harm, and then I can live in town. Easy peasy." She flashed him with a smile. She momentarily glanced at the young man beside him, which might she add, has been sending her scornful glares for awhile now.
Ah, let me guess. Vampire killed someone important to him and now he wants revenge on all vampires. Typical."Don't worry about me, I'm not going to kill you guys, I mean....I could kill both of you...BUT that's not the point." Adeline was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Valis speak behind her. She rolled her eyes, "How conceited." She murmured to herself. With a sigh, she turned back and walked over to her bed where her bag was. She slung her side bag over her shoulder before walking back to the door.
She glanced behind her to look at Florence. "You comin'?" She asked.
