Adam went to the corner of the store and pulled out a few sweaters and hoodies. "I may not know fashion, but even I know that these will fit any lady and any girl" he said proudly. Belle examined them and agreed, "Yes indeed, the hood would protect me from the sun too". Adam stepped back and let her take a look through the rest of the store. Belle came back with several lady-like dresses and Adam agreed with most, being careful to avoid the overpriced ones.

After checking them out, Both Adam and Belle headed up the escalator, after which Adam led her into an ophthalmologist's store. "I have perfect eyesight, why are we here" Belled questioned him.

At this point an old man with a well styled grey hair, and a neatly trimmed beard entered from the employees only room.

"Ah hello again Adam" the man greeted as he approached Adam

He then looked at Belle "So is the girl you were speaking about?" he asked

"Yes, could we handle this discreetly" Adam whispered

"Of course," the man replied as he led them into his office

"Alright little one, I need you to remove your sunglasses" the doctor said calmly

Belle looked at Adam, who nodded briefly, and she then removed her glasses

The old man was taken aback for a while before regaining his composure

"You know Adam, after splashing your friend with the chemical to make her eyes glow yellow, I thought you would be more careful than to do it again"

"Are speaking about my mom?"

The Old man glared at Adam "Did you spill on the mother and the child?" he said angrily.

"No sir, there was a spillage at the office and Belle over here tried to clean it up before I could stop her"

The doctor motioned her to the opthalmetrist machine and began to take measurements, while saying "Be careful Adam, if that lady was not so kind you might have face defamation charges".

After doing so he asked from the girl, "Alright dear, what colour eyes would you like to have"

Belle beckoned Adam close and whispered "What colour did my mother choose?"

"Brown, said that was her colour before she turned"

Belle looked at the board the doctor presented to her, a whole selection of coloured contact lenses.

"If my eyes look normal, then it'll be easier to blend in and not have to wear glasses always" she noted "Adam really is brilliant"

She pointed to contacts with a warm brown colour

"I'll take those please" she said elegantly to the Man

"Two pairs"

The doctor took two sets and showed Belle how to wear them, along with contact cleaning fluid.

"Go wait outside, I'll pay for this and be right back" Adam said. He checked the bill and noticed a charge of 200"

"What's this charge" he asked the old man, who was simply puffing a cigar

"Oh that?" He smiled "That charge is to be quiet about a young blood taker".

"You knew?" Adam asked surprised

"Of course, did you think that girl and her mother were the only ones who wanted to hide their eyes" he said mockingly.

"I could tell that girl has a lot on her plate" the man said as he patted him on the back, "Just like her mother seemed all those years back".

"Good on you, Adam" the man said as he walked back to his seat "Stay with the powerful, and you will be rewarded".

Adam opened his mouth only for the old man to hold out his hand

"Not to worry, I will not inform any other vampires of her presence"

"Thank you, sir,"

The old man broke into a coughing fit as waved to Adam as Adam paid him.

"Go now, she must be waiting for you".
