"You may not but I reckon many others do, I know for one my father would freak out if he found me here again" she spoke. His eyes remained with a happy look to them, which was enough of a success for her. Maybe there was hope yet that she could talk him round further, well that's what she hoped to believe. You spend too much time with your head ina book, you've started believeing in fairytales her mother would've told her, not that Ava listened anyway. At the sight of another man from Dracos pack coming she stepped back, becoming very defensive of herself. She couldn't help it, that and the fact this one would probably go for her as Draco had done at first. She was glad Dracos words had calmed the other werewolf, after all she didn't want to set back any progress they had made. "Until next time" she nodded to him, before turning and walking towards her own territory.

She couldn't help but be at least a little curious as to what was going on, but she wasn't about to push her luck further than she had done today. She took up a slight jog as she headed back, although she seemed to collide with something again. "Ava what were you doing all the way out there?" the familiar voice of her younger sister met her ears. "I thought I heard something just making sure it was safe" she reassured the younger girl. "Now go back home". "Is that how you found that boy then? Or do I need to tell father something" a smirk came onto the younger siblings face. "Olivia nothing happened, we had a fight and then parted ways when he almost drowned. If you utter a word about this to dad I'll tell him who it was that almost buruned down the whole village" she responded with her own threat. Thiis shut Olivia up, the two girls now heading back towards the house in complete silence.

Draco arrived home, he went straight to his house to see what his father needed him for. Draco stepped inside and started to ask his father but was cut off. "Draco, there you are. Come, now. We have something for you." he said as he ushered Draco into the larger family room. Inside was his mother and three girls that he did even know. All of them were on average size. The first was a blonde with blue eyes and hair as straight as a stick. The second one was dark haired with brown eyes and curly hair. The third was a pale blonde with blue eyes and wavy, borderline curly hair. They all stood very focused on Draco, in fact it made him a bit uncomfortable. He got to meet them all and chatted with them for a bit. After the fact, he still didn't see much of a difference in them. He decided to choose the third girl because she seemed most interested in talking to him. However in days to come he'd realize she was a horrible choice but there would be no going back. She was too keen on making sure Draco was always on her sight but at the same time they often argued. She was just a little too obsessed with him for his liking and that wasn't normal for Draco as he usually liked the attention.

The next few weeks, she was driving him crazy. He often left the house during the day to escape her. Today, he was going out into no mans land to get some piece. If it wasn't for Allison, it was usually the young girl who always followed him. Her name was Sabrina, she was just very fond of Draco even though he was much to old for her. She liked to talk to him and ask him about a thousand questions each time she did so. He had just escaped her and into no man's land where she wouldn't dare go. Before he knew it, he was way further than he'd ever been before.

Ava had been going about her usual business int he time since their last meeting, although she visited the waterfall a lot more often now. She found the place gave her a clearness in her mind for writing, mostly the small fiction book she was writing. Well it was less fiction and more a small play on her life, but it allowed her to write about being a werewolf and the troubles it caused. Her parents had been asking her about suitors for a while, but still she brushed them off. No-one had particularly caught her eye or interest, they were all rather dull. But today was different. She'd woken up to her father telling her they'd selected some suitable matches for her and that she had two days to choose, something she would ignore completely. This news had hit her like a ton of bricks, making this a writing day.

She'd been sat by the waterfall for a good few hours now, scribbling away on the pad on her knee. It was surprising how much she had written, but then again this was a big deal for her. Her parents had never forced this upon her before, she wasn't ready for this. All she wanted to do was help others and find someone along the way, in her own time.

Draco walked through the dense forest, new smells and sounds were everywhere. It was all very interesting until he had managed to venture so far out, he ran across the scent of other werewolves. It didn't smell familiar and wasn't part of Ava's family's territory, it must have been one of the other packs his father told him about. He collected all the information he needed. It was a bunch of older males. He decided it was best to retreat since he was all by his lonesome. He turned around and went back towards more familiar territory. He was headed towards the place with the waterfall. It seemed to be the most hidden place there was, being in neutral territory made it less likely for someone to be there as well. It took him roughly thirty minutes to reach his destination. He walked lightly on his feet. He spotted something in the distance, it was Ava. He decided to go over to her. "I figured I'd be seeing you again. We both seem to like this spot." he said as he stood a few feet away from her. "Do you always go out alone?" he asked curiously. He knew most girls really seemed to like being in groups when they went out.

Hearing a voice speak she turned her head, looking in the direction it had come from. "Apparently so. It helps me think here and lets me write" she spoke. Her left hand closed the note pad in her right hand, she then placed it on the grass beside her. "Usually. Girls my own age seem to not like me, I think it's my status more than anything. Maybe it's just the fact most of the time I get more attention than I'm worth. Who knows. What about you?" she returned the question. The only time she'd seen him with someone else was when Viktor cam and collected him. She remained sat down as she spoke, becoming too lazy to bother moving into a standing poisiton. A small smile now crept onto her face, she was glad to see him. "Why do you ask? Hoping to meet some of my friends?" she chuckled softly.

Somehow she felt like she could joke with him, as if there were a small repertoire between them or so she thought. "Also have you thought about my suggestion?" she hadn't forgotten in the slightest. There was no way she was ever going to let her idea go.

Draco gave a slight laugh, "No, no. That's not what I meant by that." That was the first time he ever responded totally relaxed. "I have friends that I usually do things with but they don't care to come with me when I leave. It's usually when I want to leave and be alone that I come out here. I could see that being a reason why they don't like you but you can't help that." he said softly.

"I'm still considering it." he said quietly. He then noticed that she was still writing. It made him curious, "What are you writing about? Or are you righting letters to a boyfriend." he said jokingly.

Ava chuckled as her teasing made him laugh, glad he'd taken it how she had meant it. "That's nice, I do have friends but they're mostly villagers and not people my parents want me to be friends with" she rolled her eyes slightly, showing she wasn't a fan of this opinion. "Well at least you can be alone, that's nice. I know it is, but those are the stuck up rich families my family want me to impress. I personally don't care for them" she huffed. It was true they were all spoilt and self-centred, not the kind of people she wanted to know.

His second answer however didn't make her so pleased, it even caused her to frown slightly. "Alright, but next time we meet you better have an answer for me, ok?" she gave him this ultimatum. "Letters to a boyfriend?" she laughed, perhaps harder than she meant to but it had amused her. "No, no boyfriend. My parents however told me this morning that I had to marry someone, wasn't expecting that. I really don't want to marry any of them, I don't care about them. I'm actually writing about my life, a little exaggerated of course. It'd make a great fiction book, well normal humans would think that anyway" she'd never told anyone that. She guessed it was because if he was going to judge her she didn't mind, it was easy enough to never see him again.

Draco looked at her and gave a half smile, "I'll try to. Your family does that the same way mine does. Usually our partners are picked for us but my mother gave me a choice of three. I went with the best option but she's not exactly the best. She drives me a little crazy actually. That's part of why I left today. She was wanting too much from me. She doesn't understand that I don't want to be at home with her every second of every day. Maybe if she wasn't so damn annoying and needy." he said quietly. He seemed interested about what she was writing. He didn't know anyone who liked to write, especially about something like that. "I think that's a neat idea." he said.

"Well I thought I'd gotten away with it, but apparently not. I didn't even look at any of them before I ran out of there" she huffed again, she didn't like talking about it. Talking about it just reminded her that it was in fact happening. "Can't you ask to change her? Like go and pick another one? Or maybe you could refuse to marry her, that's my plan. Can't physically make you say the word yes" she chuckled at him. Patting the ground next to her she offered him to sit with her, actually enjoying his company. He seemed a lot more relaxed, which made her feel comfortable around him. Perhaps the fact she was equal to him made it easier, she didn't feel judged by him at all anymore. "Thanks, it's not any good yet, but it's slowly getting there. You're in it too" she told him. His words had made her feel a small sense of pride in her work, no-one had ever said they liked it before.

Draco shook his head, "I can't really do that and I'm sure if I were to change my pick then the others would have something about them I dislike. Besides that, she was my parents favorite anyway. A pretty face isn't always everything." he said looking down at her. When she patted the ground beside her, he seemed a bit hesitant but he eventually sat down beside her. He had a very mellow sounding voice at this point. "Oh really? Mind if I see then?" he asked wirh a laugh as he tried to look at her writings. He was starting to come around, even though he still had his tendencies to be how he was used to being.

Ava nodded her head "Very true, which is why I try to be more than that. God that sounded so vain, you know what I mean" she spoke. Her heart lifted a little as he took the spot next to her, it felt like they were actually beginning to become friends of some sort. "I just hope it works out for you. What do you reckon she'd do if she saw you sat here with me? I never do understand possesiveness or jealousy" she shrugged. It was true, if someone was unloyal then that's what they would be, if not you had to trust them. As he asked to see her writings she snatched them up. "No way! Are you kidding me!? This is a rough draft it's awful, there is no way you are reading this" there was a tone of seriousness to her voice. With this seriousness though was also a slightly playful tone, one which sort of challeneged him to try and take it off her. It was the truth though, this copy was not written properly. There were scribbles everywhere and some of the sentences were nothing more than noted prompts. She shuffled a little away, trying to keep it out of his reach.

Draco nodded his head, "she'd probably drag me home by my hair if she could." he said with a slight hint of a laugh. "She doesn't even like it when other girls look in my direction." he added. He was a little shocked when she snatched her writings away from his grasp. He laughed a little and reached for them again. "They can't be that bad." he said as he reached for them again. Eventually, after several failed attempts, he snatched them from her and stood up. He didn't read them though. He simply stood there looking quite pleased that he had got them away from her.

Ava pointed out a finger and poked him on the shoulder. "Imagine what she'd say! How dare I touch you" she joked, still leaning away from him thought. "It is!" she protested, fighting against his attempts to get the book. Soon though he managed to get it and he stood up, so she did too. "Don't you dare. Come on give it back" she said giving a hand motion to signal to hand it over. Then she tackled him to the floor, no warning what so ever. Not even she knew she was going to do it, but she had done and there was no turning back. "I'm sorry I did that, but also kinda not. Not gonna lie, it was fun to tackle you down" she laughed, one hand reaching for the book in his grasp. She was pretty sure his arms were longer than hers though and she didn't have him pinned down very well. The best part of it was though that she'd forgotten all her troubles, there wasn't a care in the world in her mind right now.

Draco was waiving the papers out of her reach when suddenly out of no where, he was knocked off his feet. He let out a gasp as he fell. He still struggled to hold them out of her reach, his hair was now very untidy from the fall. He laughed as she struggled to get the papers. He shoved her to the side, a little bit roughly but he just wasn't used to that kind of play. "Wasn't expecting that." he said with a laugh as he sat up. She had some spunk in her, she did. He found it quite amusing.

The papers were just in her grasp, but then she felt a push against her ribs pushing her to the side. She fell to the ground and winced a little in pain. "Yeah, maybe go a little easy on the ribs next time" she spoke, rubbing them as they felt a little sore. Ignoring the gentle pain in her side she began to smile, she lay on her back staring at the sky. "Now can I have them back?" she asked, turning her head to look at him again. Her eyes then glanced up towards the book in his hand, giving him her best puppy dog eyes. "What do I have to do to get them back?" she asked, now sitting herself up. She had a problem keeping her attention on one thing, she was so full of energy sometimes that it was if she had ADHD. "The preferable answer is nothing, that you will simply be nice and give me the book back" she spoke, removing the hair that had fallen onto her face out of her face.
