In The Night - Fallacy x Encre

Chapter 6

I am under heavy care from the servants due to my injuries.  Lord Fallacy sleeps with me every night due to worry and to comfort me since he cannot be with me all day like before, but I understand the reasons.  Currently I have a fever due to my contact with the silver.  It is getting hard to breathe and it is causing me to be uncomfortable.  Two of the servants are with me at all times.  Suave enters and he rushes over seeing how my health has plummeted.  "Lord Encre..."  He says grabbing my right hand to comfort me.  "Everything... bur-burns..."  I say with tears in my eyes.  Suave nods and says "My lord... I will be back shortly... I just request you try to remain calm and just breathe."  I nod and breathe deeply.  He rolls me onto my right side and I wince due to being in pain.  "Okay now do try to sleep..."  Suave says.  I nod slowly.  I slowly let my eyes close.  "It is alright to sleep, I just need to get a few things."  I hear Suave say.  I feel myself slipping into the darkness, then my vision is suddenly filled with light.  

Dream...

I am in my home walking around when there is a knock at the door then it opens.  I am coughing and am extremely ill. My grip slips from the table's edge causing me to fall.  I hit the ground hard and then there is running.  "Monsieur Encre!!!" I hear.  I feel myself being picked up.  I am being rushed outside then I am set down against something.  There is a small amount of blood dripping from my mouth and the agonizing feeling is slowly lifting from me.  I can breathe deeply and all the weight on my body is gone as well.  "Monsieur Encre... Are you alright?"  I hear. I shake my head no and then feel how nice the ground outside feels.  I lay down on the ground.  "Monsieur Encre?"  I hear.  "He must be reacting to the lack of silver, does it really take that much of a toll on him?"  I hear.  "Monsieur Encre... You must go back inside now."  I hear.  I start to cry not wanting to.  "He is crying... Why must he?"  I hear.  "He is a vampire, that the king and queen wants to keep... If he somehow manages to rest even for a little he can slaughter us."  I hear as I feel myself going into the darkness.  "He is merely a child!!!"  Someone shouts.  "Vampire!!! They are demons!!! They can take the shape of the most innocent child!!!" I hear.  I touch the grass longingly as I feel myself dosing off. I then feel a hand over my mouth and me being carried.  I do not panic due to being far too exhausted.  

I wake to humming and laughter.  I open my eyes and curl into myself defensively. "Woah... Why does the child look so frightened?  His eyes they are filled with terror." I hear. "Hello, I am your friend... I am the one who rescued you."  A human says coming over to me.  "What race are you?"  I ask.  "Rogue..."  One grumbles.  "Real... Real Vampires..."  I say looking up at one and sitting up abnormally.  "Real?" I hear.  "Promise... You will not kill me..."  I say shrinking back.  "We shall not kill you."  I hear from behind me.  I look up and back my one arm raised defensively, before I set it back down, seeing a skeleton.  I adjust myself trying to keep them all in view.  "Look how he moves... That is not normal for a small child."  I hear.  I shrink down and say "I am no rogue or vampire... I am merely allergic to silver... They are afraid of me because of this fact."  I say before covering myself up.  "You are a mortal?"  I hear.  I nod my eyes squeezed shut. I feel a hand on my back and I whimper terrified.  "Woah... Calm down, we promised we would not hurt you."  I hear.  I open my eyes nervously as all of them have a piercing gaze on me.  "You are scared are you not?" One asks.  I nod slowly.  One kneels in front of me and I nervously unshrink myself and I crawl towards them slowly.  "There we are... Come on, you are alright."  They say.  They have bright sea blue eyes that are just so magnetic.  I am right in front of him and I shrink slightly as I lower my eyes.  'No!!! Danger!!! Do not trust!!! He is the boogie man!!!'  I hear and I jump shrinking back a lot.  "He... Heard me..."  I hear.  'I am trying to have him trust us you idiot stop messing with your new abilities.'  I hear. "Are you really the boogie man?" I ask relaxing and sitting up in my abnormal position.  "I might be..." He says pouting childishly.  I smile and crawl over to him before giving him a hug.  "My mama always told me to give the boogie man a hug for her, at least... Before her and the rest of my family... Disowned me."  I say shyly.  I feel the cool embrace, instead of that warm weird ones other Mortals give me. I relax completely.  "Wow... The boogie man did it." I hear. 'He is of a half breed's blood is my best guess... Reason for why he moves the way he does and for the allergy to silver.'  I hear.  'Can you hear me?'  I think.  "So kid... What is your name?"  The boogie man asks.  "Encre..." I answer before latching onto him.  'He is attached to you...' I hear a female's voice say. "Hhm~" I make that noise feeling comfortable. "The kid is adorable." I hear. Suddenly I am being picked up.  "Kid... Let go..."  The boogie man says meanly.  I let go of him and shrink back.  "Wow..."  I hear someone says.  "Hunters and knights are coming... They are probably searching for him."  The boogie man says looking down at me.  I let myself go limp, knowing they shall leave me there.  I give up and let tears fall from my eyes to the dirt ground.  'We are not going to leave him here!'  I hear.  "Just leave me... I will survive that prison for at least a year or two more..."  I say weakly as I curl up.  "Prison?" I hear.  "That house is filled with silver... There is no where safe for me to sleep or rest since even the bed has sheets of silver in it, so I cannot sleep or gain energy, it is all to avoid me attacking them." I answer shyly as I move away from them.  "Get out of the area... I can try to lead them somewhere else..." I say moving away.  "Kid... No one said we are going to leave you here."  The boogie man says.  Suddenly the fire goes out and I take off running.  I am running through the dark the moon's light guiding me.  The trees have become even thicker and wider.  I am running silently having learned to move silently and swiftly through my home.  I can hear the sounds of the night and they are so peaceful.  "Encre!!!" "Monsieur Encre!!!"  I hear.  I take off away from the calls and then I see a river but it is lined with traps.  I panic slightly as I see torches in the distance.  I whimper panickedly sharp noises escaping from my soul.  Suddenly I feel myself being picked up and then there is running. "Hold on." I hear. Suddenly, we are in the branches of the trees.  I turn to see the boogie man and I hug him tightly.  He covers my mouth gently and I lean into him.  He flies upwards into the sky.  I fall asleep in his arms.  

I then feel myself being placed down as I hear rattling and shouting.  It is nice the feeling of what I am laying on.  I wake up completely to see the boogie man laying beside me.  We are in a bed and there is shouting.   I then realize I am back in my house.  "Kid... It is alright..."  I hear the boogie man say.  "We are getting rid of most of the silver from your resting places."  He says making me smile.  "Thank... You..."  I say tiredly.

Dream end...

I wake up feeling much better. "Are you alright?" I hear.  I blink a few times.  "Yes... I am alright... I wish Encre would wake up though."  I hear.  I see myself in chains and I can feel the burning of them.  I sit up my eyes looking threatening and I am on edge.  I see a bed and I relax as my eyes soften.   "Encre?"  I hear as my arms collapse back down.  I look up and behind me somehow.  Lord Fallacy is there and he pulls me into him, his arms going around me.  I place my head against his chest and curl into him. A small soft whimper escaping me as he rubs my back. "Encre, was it a nightmare?"  Lord Fallacy asks.  I nod slowly.  "It is alright, I am here." he says.  "My lord... Would you like to eat something?"  I hear Suave ask.  "Please set dining for two Suave."  Lord Fallacy says.  As he says this I can feel the ache of hunger there.  "As you wish, Lord Fallacy."  Suave says.  "Oh and please remind the cooks for if they do what they did before they will be answering to me." Lord Fallacy says.  I ignore them at this point.  As I remember what my last thoughts were before I had passed out.  I had not been too scared in all actuality, for I was exhausted and starving, but they gave me enough food to survive.  "Encre?"  I hear from the distance.  I blink a few times see Lord Fallacy above me.  I hug him feeling safe in his arms.
