I wake up slightly sore as I see the duvet again.  I feel arms go around me and someone kiss my neck and shoulder.  "Did you sleep well, my love?"  I hear.  "Yes... I did..." I say shyly remember what had happened before I feel back asleep. I place a hand over Lord Fallacy's and we link fingers.  "I missed you Encre..." Lord Fallacy says and it causes me to cry.  He holds me closer to him and turns me into him.  He is holding me closely to him.  Then there is something different.  Things are misty and I can see right through Lord Fallacy, so I close my eyes briefly.  

I open my eyes to see no one else.  I am freezing cold.  I try to move but it is hopeless.  I do not allow myself to panic.  I am surrounded in silver chains and my wrists and ankles are attached to chains that go to the ground, while there is a collar around my neck and pelvis, since I do not have a waist like a non-skeleton would have.  "Encre... You are awake?"  I hear.  I look up and my gaze holds anger and rage, fitted into a glare.  "How does it feel to be kidnapped from Eterna, and drugged?" I hear from behind me.  My gaze is searching hard and it begins to rain.  "You have a set of options. Your first option is to return back to Eterna, but you must kill the Mortal king.  Your second; return to the vampire kingdom, but kill the vampire king.  Your third option is to join us rogues like you were born to do and live happily ever after.  Or do not choose and die."  I hear then see the boogie man in front of me.  I stand though the chains restrict most of my movement. I lean towards him smirking cruelly.  He raises an invisible brow to me.  "You might as well just kill me then."  I state bluntly leaning back with a smirk plastered across my face.  The boogie man laughs "I will not just kill you normally, you will be tortured..."  His laughing turns to almost an insane one.  "So? I have been in torture my whole life... I no longer care."  I state as the rain increases. "Monsieur... The rain... It will cause him to drown in mud."  I hear.  I smirk harder hearing that.  "A Mortal can torture me better than that."  I laugh.  The boogie man punches me in the ribs and my ribs crack and the sounding of its cracking echoes through the forbidden forest.  I laugh at that as blood drips from my mouth.  "Silver hurts worse than that does."  I say looking him in the eyes.  "Is he not immune to sil-"  I hear before being continuously punched in the ribs.  I clentch my teeth together in agony but I do not allow myself to scream or cry out in agony.  The boogie man pulls back smirking.  I laugh in response and his smirk widens even more.  "You really are my grandchild."   He laughs.  My laughing stops as I wince as more blood leaks from my mouth, but there is still a soft smile on my face.   I relax and sigh as I close my eyes as my legs collapse under me from the stress of the silver chains.  They still have an effect over me just not as heavily as the others.  A single eye opens to look up at them.  My grandfather looks slightly worried seeing me now.  I keep the smile on my face as the rain starts to get harder.  "Monsieur... We must go."  I hear.  My grandfather turns and they both disappear.  It falls silent within the forest except for the soft rain drops that pitter-pater about the forest.  'Hurry he must be this way!'  I hear.  I then swing my arms forwards and the chains break from the tree.  I then reach down and break the chains holding me to the ground.  The huge collar around my pelvis is the easiest to break. Suddenly I see a light to my left but ignore it.  I break the rest of the chains then I rip off the shackles.  My face falls blank, I stop smiling as the urge to smile disappears.  "Who the hell is that?" I hear from the distance. Tears slip down my face and I sigh as I break the last shackle off.  I turn to see people in quite strange clothes as more blood drips from my ribs.  My shirt is torn and soaked with blood and rain.  "Is that Aftertale Sans here?"  I hear.   Suddenly there are huge amounts of rogues attacking me.  They seem to have me as the focused target.  I fight back and rip some throats.  I grab a woman then let go since I am against hitting females.  I throw her though.  I grab a male and sink my teeth into them.  They scream in agony as I do it roughly.  They all stop moving as I drop the rogue man.  "Now it is uneven."  I state matter a factly before wiping the blood from my mouth. "RUN!!!" I hear them shout. "DEMENTED MORTALS!!!" I hear. I do not run since I do not care.  I turn to face them instead. I have bleeding out bodies around me. I crush one of their heads. "If you have come into the forest for refuge I wish you luck Mortals.  Since we do not play nice.  It is kill, or be killed in here."  I state with no emotion.  "No... That is Ink... It has to be."  I hear one of them say.  "ENCRE!!!"  I hear.  I see Eterna running towards me as I crush another skull and another.  Part of the Mortal group is crying. "We are going to die..."  I hear.  I crush the last head and stop beside them.  "I will by you time, go straight forwards and there should be a completely abandoned castle, if you see or hear anyone calling... Your names, it is gas to make you fall out of position.  Keep running till you make it to the castle.  I will keep the Mortals and rogues off of you."  I whisper.  A few nod with wide eyes and they all take off running.  Eterna is smiling brightly but then stops along with the others seeing the blood everywhere.  "Eterna... Who is that?" I hear.  I approach them but I do not make physical contact with them. "Encre... You are alright."  She says smiling.  "Get out of here before they send another swarm after me."  I state. "Encre... Come on... You are safe now... Come here." Eterna says gently while approaching me.  "Eterna... I need you to get out of here... Rogues are coming for me."  I say before she is right there.  I do not shrink back or anything. I am much taller than her when not shrinking back like I usually do. She is a lot more cautious currently.  "I will attack you Eterna."  I threaten.  'Pin him down.'  I hear. Eterna gets a smirk and I use her as a shield. Both sides freeze seeing me with a silver stake against her throat.  "Encre!!!" She shouts and I go to press it against her throat.  I then push her forwards and fly up towards the storm clouds.  "I need to get away!"  I cry as I drop the silver stake.
