    FOR THE REST OF the day I haven't seen Augustine. I'm glad and disappointed. Don't ask me why - I won't have a answer.

For the rest of the day I took advantage of the castle and studied it profoundly. I went into every room I could on the east wing and found a huge library, a ballroom, a music room, and multiple other bedrooms. All were grand and luxurious, just like how I expected, but some rooms I couldn't get into since they were locked.

I'm not stupid. Even though Augustine couldn't look over my shoulder like a hawk doesn't mean he wouldn't order other guards to. I saw their shadows when ever I turned a corner and felt their beaty eyes staring at me. I also smelled them. It was fowl disgusting stench - almost like rotting fish.

How am I going to stay here with vampires? A species I'm trained to kill. How can I walk into a room of them and not visibly wince at their stentch? What am I going to do?

I sigh and go back to my room. I just finished dinner and now I'm extremely tired. When I get up to the room I don't bother to take a shower but instead change into my pajamas and create a wall of pillows in the middle of the bed just in case Augustine comes back to sleep on the same bed as me.

I turn off the lights and crawl into bed. I don't fall asleep right away, I just gaze into the wall beside me and think about the events that played out this morning.

I feel humiliated and guilty. I shouldn't of told him I'd never love him. Vampire or not if anyone ever told me that I would probably cry. It was harsh of me - why am I defending him?

Oh, no. This place is already changing my state of mind.

I hear the rooms door open with a slight creak. If I knew it was Augustine. His scent is empowering. I can't help but shiver. I hear his footsteps come closer and closer to the bed but I never look over to him, instead I pretend I'm asleep and face the opposite direction of him.

He rummaged around for a couple of minutes before I feel the bed sink under his heavy weight of muscle. The blanket moves so he is covering himself with it. Then it's silent.

I slowly feel myself starting to drift asleep. I hear Augustine move the pillow barrier onto the floor and pull me in close to his chest. My body unstiffens and relaxes under his touch which I curse myself for. "Ugh. I knew it."

The last thing I remember is his chuckle hitting the back of my neck.

    I open my eyes and yawn. Another great sleep like yesturday, I wonder why.

Looking over to the reason why I been sleeping son well I find an empty spot on the bed. Augustine must of left early.

The empty feeling in my chest makes me roll my eyes. Come on now, Maya. Get a hold of yourself.

As I'm getting out of bed I notice a paper resting on his pillow. Knowing it's from him i'm almost a little too eager to open it up and read it it.

   Dear Love,
