August wasn’t exactly new to Mystic Falls. He had been there for a couple months and had witnessed the same number of full moons. Nothing had happened that would forewarn him to be on alert. He faced the night as he would any other night.

The howl of wolves, many wolves, came too close for comfort for the older heretic. He wasn’t afraid but there was a reason to the lore about vampires and werewolves being enemies. A bite from a wolf was fatal for a vampire. He heard rumors that heretics could siphon the magical properties of the venom but he had never wanted to put that theory to practice.

An early night was in the cards for him it seemed then. He had started for his home when from between two buildings lunged one of the wolves he’d heard. He reacted as soon as its teeth met with his flesh. Throwing it off of him, not with vampire strength but magic that launched the beast quite a distance away. His had lifted to hold his shoulder where the wolf had bitten.

He was slower to react when a second came from the same area. A second wolf bite, this time to his leg. He closed his fist to have both wolves writhing in pain as he sped off. Collapsing not a block away onto the steps of building. @ofrcnnie

Riley hadn't yet triggered her werewolf gene but she could feel something being off. She could feel something calling to her making her bones and everything in her body ache. She did what she thought was best and just went out for a walk, went and leaned up against the tree as she took in a sharp breathe closing her eyes.

August stepped out of the library and pulled on the door to make sure it was locked. He didn’t make it but a few steps away before he saw the girl in obvious pain. He did start to walk away. Only got three steps when he turned and stepped closer to her. “Are you alright?” He asked as he closed the distance between them.

❝ Ex....husband. ❞ It was still very fresh but Caroline just needed time alone and not with Stefan or someone. ❝ That still doesn't explain anything. How do you know Stefan therefore.. knowing me. Are you stalking us or something? ❞ She questioned as she cocked her head to the side.

[salvatoreadjacent]

“My apologies,” August spoke with a sincere tone. He had not known about Stefan and Caroline being divorced. It took him a bit by surprise as he thought he had a pretty good ear for news of the Salvatore family. “I wouldn’t say I know him, more of him.” He had to admit that did sound a tad stalker-ish and maybe in a sense he was.

"A librarian? Dream job or something? Pretty sure I knew a girl from school that would have died for that job," he said with a chuckle.

[salvatoreadjacent]

"I wouldn't say dream job but it does allow for a certain level of peace," In other words a certain level of privacy. Some towns in his experience were a center for gossip and he'd rather stay out of it. Unless he was the one spreading the gossip.

❝ I'm sorry... ❞ She started as she knit her brows together trying to figure out how he knew her, setting the box down. ❝ Do I know you? ❞

[salvatoreadjacent]

"No, I know your husband," August didn't know him in the sense of actually knowing him but knew of him. He had been keeping a certain eye out for Salvatores since coming to Mystic Falls.

With the past month, Caroline had been doing her best to be strong and not let her emotions get the better of her so she did what she did best and kept herself busy. She was bringing some boxes out to her car when she looked up to the person. ❝ What? ❞

[salvatoreadjacent]

It probably wasn't the best time for August to have approached Caroline. He had seen her around town with Stefan Salvatore. So when he saw her just then he had hesitated in his pace. It probably looked as if he had been staring at her and he was. He just hadn't meant to be. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you Mrs. Salvatore," unwittingly admitting that he knew who she was without any introduction.

❝ Animal attack. Everyone is just going to agree with that ? ❞ Alice got the text . It didn't take much to put two and two together . She wasn't allowed to examine the body or do her work . What was matt even doing out there at night ? ❝ curiosity truly killed the cat ❞ Alice blurted out the pun . In this case matt being the cat . Anyone who knew her , knows alice could be a tad bit interestingly morbid .

August's gaze lifted as the question hit the air. It was an interesting notation but one he didn't think anyone would express. "Is there a reason we should suspect otherwise?" August questioned wanting to know what made her think as she did.

[dragonsalvatore]

"The public library?" Ace asked, raising his eyebrow at the other. "I didn't realize it had an owner and could be owned," he said. It was took much to question how he was planning to make money of something like that. It wasn't like you would charge for books, that wouldn't pass in a town like mystic falls."

[salvatoreadjacent]

"I would have to say that I'm more of an overseer than anything," August said with a laugh in his voice. It was true that it wasn't a profitable business but there was still some money to be made. Late fees and other such things. "That and the librarian."

[dragonsalvatore]

"Sure," he said, moving back behind the bar to fish out another drink. It was hard to take time off when it was this busy. He poured the fresh drink and pushed it towards the other. "You just passing through?"

[salvatoreadjacent]

It was probably in poor taste to take advantage of such a discount when he wasn't plagued with the sadness of the town's recent loss. Yet the bartender did not list any restrictions to it. "Thank you," August said as he slid the new drink closer.

"No," he shook looked up at the darker haired gentleman. "I've actually taken ownership of the library here. So you could say that I'm looking to settle in."

Location: Mystic Falls Grill

"Damn, is this place full," Ace commented, looking around the Grill. There were most people rolling into town by the day and anyone that had been here in his mother's generation knew the Grill was the place to go. Not that that was a positive thought today, afterall he knew why they were all coming. One of their own had been killed. He cracked a drink and moved to sit next to the bar, taking a sip. "Let's do discounted drinks for the next few days."

[salvatoreadjacent]

"In that case I'll take another round," August wasn't going to say no to a good discount. Although he wasn't unaware of what was going on around town. He was a bit on edge from the text he received and wasn't a fan of being threatened as that is what it felt like.
