Update 3.8

Back from an Egyptian vacation and Avery is ridiculously bored with homework.  Autumn Singh came over to work on it but got side tracked with talking about the school play.

Avery would also have best-friend Michael Parrot over after school to not do homework, even though Hunter would yell outside for them to settle down and get started.

Hunter, meanwhile, was feeling like his life was getting back on track.  His editor sent him on assignment to interview Nicola Riverhaven about growing up on a secluded island with limited technological advancement and her reason for moving to Moonlight Falls.

Hunter was also working on a story about the local fairies and took an opportunity to speak with Lindsay Goodfellow while Nicola attended something before her interview.

Nicola enthusiastically tells of growing up on Ouroboros Isle and her supernatural background.

After several years of solitude Hunter began feeling like he was ready to date again.  He was casually dating Lindsay.

Nicola was also interested in pursuing a relationship.

Hunter's relationship began to get more serious with Nicola and he spent as much time with her as he could.

They took their relationship slow and still wouldn't commit to each other.  Hunter did have Nicola over to visit and stay when she wanted.

Eventually, Hunter told Nicola his feeling were getting more serious but he still wasn't ready to move forward.

Unfortunately for Hunter his choice led to Nicola distance herself and asked to be just friends as she got engaged to someone else.  She was ready to settle down and Hunter wasn't there yet.

Life continued on and both Hunter and Avery were busy.  Occasionally they would cross by and Hunter would slow down and wave as they went by.

Hunter and Lindsay's relationship began to grow into something serious.

Lindsay wasn't used to a nocturnal life but soon adjusted to Hunter's needs.  The fair grounds don't stay open late so they were unable to enjoy all the events but they did try out the Love Tester and were thrilled with the result. 

And it seems that life is full of twists and turns... learning from his mistake with Nicola, Hunter did not balk at his relationship becoming serious with Lindsay.  As he took that next step, across town Nicola was breaking off her engagement.

Looks like there is trouble in Moonlight Falls.  After the death of the the elder vampire Ayden, Vlad was poised to take the prime position.  He rebuilt the criminal empire with an alliance with Dante Morganthe.

It wasn't long before Hunter and Nicola found their way to each other.  Hunter knew he had more feeling for her and didn't waste anytime in asking her to be a part of his life.

Nicola hadn't moved in yet but she did practically live at the house.  Hunter was admiring the view before joining in the shower.  Just as he was about to strip down he sensed something off.

On assignment, Dante broke into the house he knew the two were in the bathroom and the child was sleeping upstairs.  Dante knew the moment Hunter could sense another vampire and slipped out before he was seen and before he completed his task.

Avery's birthday was a bittersweet moment.  Hunter wished that Kimberlee could have been there to see their boy grow into a young man.
