٭ Chapter 1, going into hiding ٭

[ Encre's POV ]
-----------------------

   I was painting a commission for one of my customers, while Mollie was laying down in the next room. Well, until we was interrupted by someone knocking on my door.

   Mollie began barking, so I got up from my desk, and went over to the door. Clearing my throat, I opened the door and spoke in English. Mollie ran over, almost running out of the door.

   So I held her coller. After a minute, she had calmed down. "Hello?" My French accent was very noticeable. I looked around and saw no one, but before I could walk in, I heard a baby's giggling.

   I looked down to see Mollie sniffing a comfortable looking basket. I was confused at first, but then I looked on my doorstep and saw an infant. I quickly picked him/her up, and walked inside. I couldn't help but notice how much they look like Fallacy.

   I realized that there was a note on the top of the small basket. I picked it up, and began reading it, it was in French.

Cher Encre,

J'espérais que tu pourrais rencontrer Jasper lorsqu'il serait capable de marcher, mais quelque chose est arrivé. Je ne vais pas entrer dans les détails, mais Jasper n'est plus en sécurité avec moi. Je reviendrai, mais je dois protéger mon peuple. Je sais que vous êtes la meilleure personne pour prendre soin de lui. Et si tu te demandes comment le nourrir, ne t'inquiète pas, il n'a pas besoin de boire du sang. Il est à moitié mortel après tout.

- De, F.

   It is Fallacy's child! But something bad happened to him.. I smiled at Jasper as he was chewing on his blanket. Mollie was gently nuzzleing him.

   I decided to bring him to the town tomorrow for baby stuff, leaving Mollie at the house. I wasn't ready for this at all. I'll also need to find a way to explain to everyone.

   But, he can sleep in my bed tonight. I gently pulled Jasper out of his basket, with his blanket.

   I went back to my desk, and sat down, placing Jasper in my lap. I then began finishing up some more commissions.

   By the time I was finished, it was dinner time. I don't have any baby food, or baby formula yet. So I made a small cut on my finger. I then used that to feed Jasper.

   I know he doesn't need the blood, but I have no other food to give him. When he was finished, I made myself a sandwich, ate, and went to my room.

   I gently put the now sleeping Jasper on my bed, and went to my sewing machine. Jasper can still burn in the sun, so I made us matching cloaks. I also made him a few pairs of clothes and pajamas.

   After done with that, I changed into my sleepwear, and went to bed, holding Jasper protectively next to me.

『••✎••』

   When I woke up, Jasper was already awake. He was curled into a ball around my arm. I smiled at him, and got out of bed.

   He protested my leave, but once I got changed, and quickly changed him, and went to the living room. I gently put on his cloak, and did the same with mine a few seconds after.
