August Visitor Novels & Stories

“How can I assist you today, August?” “I was wondering if you might be passing through Rideten on your way out of Havermouth, and whether we might meet if you do? The matter is somewhat… time sensitive. If I can sweeten the invitation, I have recently come to possess several bottles of Chateau Nord 1945 which I have lacked the occasion to open,” August replied. “Your company would certainly be a suitable occasion.”

So I will speak. "I'm August, from Q.C." I still answer. I can see how Gen's mother frowned maybe because of Q.C. Naturally that is not familiar to him. "Aren't you the" "Mom! You should call and inform now grandma and grandpa. Hehehe, I'll escort you." Suddenly, Gen pulled her mother and she couldn't let go of Gen's dragging her mother. "Let's wait in the visitor's lounge." Gen's father said that his eyes are not cold, but it is obvious that he is also like Denver who does not speak.

She then yawned tiredly. Augustus gaze became gentle when he saw her tired face. He kissed her nose and hugged her tightly in his arms. “Okay let’s sleep.” Both closed their eyes and fell asleep. … A month has passed, Kids has started their school and on the weekend all the family of four casually went over to meet Rheena Carlos. Augustus’s new hotel had been established in the Maldives and now he has started working on his different projects. He had been very busy recently. Every two to three days he has to go on a business trip and to check on his hotels in other countries.

I shrugged my shoulders and reclined against the hummer's side. It was about ten o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight had already been rising in the clear sky. It wasn't as balmy as it had been the day before or the day before that, and I wondered whether winter was sneaking upon us again. "I wonder what the date is now," I mumbled discreetly. "I'm not sure. Mid-August is most likely. Perhaps the third or fourth. Don't be concerned about the weather. We won't get this for another five or six weeks. We have time to get ready before we get trapped in."

"Jenny, I don't remember them. To me, they're strangers. If strangers regret something, why should it matter to me?" Jenny opened her mouth but said nothing more. When I was about to close up in the evening, Augustus appeared at the door. He didn't look well today. There was an unnatural flush on his face. "Leah." His voice was hoarse. "I didn't bring an umbrella today." I glanced outside. The sun hadn't set yet. Vampires couldn't stay under sunlight for long. That was something I had read. "Come in," I said before stepping aside.

“I’m inviting every town. Come to Raven’s Peak. Share your fears. Hear ours. Let’s decide what comes next together.” There was a long pause. Then, a quiet nod. It wasn’t yes. But it wasn’t no either. --- Pov: Ember. Back in Raven’s Peak, Ember paced the nursery as Caelen babbled softly in his crib. She glanced down at her phone—no missed calls. No messages. Just silence. Augustus knocked gently on the doorframe. “He’s not expected back until tonight.” “I know,” she said, without turning. “But knowing doesn’t help.”

“I understand that work must come first. If anything, we’re just happy you could at least witness the ceremony.” Victory nodded. “Right. Congratulations, again. August, I’ll see you in a month. Enjoy your vacation!” She made to flee, but before she could take a step, I called out. “Hey, Victory, just wait a second!”

But the person who comes in is August. It’s barely even two days since I’ve seen him last, and yet he looks so different. The bags under his eyes are dark and pronounced. He looks like he hasn’t had a proper meal in days. I wanted to ask him if Roman sent him here, but I feel bad for him. I don’t want to drag him into our problem. “Just checking up on you,” he says nicely, offering a smile. “Padma wanted to go, but she needs her rest.”
