Ripped Away (Encre x Fallacy)

Chapter 15

Lunars POV
____________________________________
Heh. Good. From my reports, Celeste is acting just as I planned. Only a little more of my Duskberries going to waste on her.

In the end, she'll practically turn herself and everyone else in! And better yet, Celeste will be my sister again.

But... still.... she won't be the same.... as I already know.... she won't be the sweet, caring Celeste I remember.....

But I'm fine with that. Because even if I don't have my Celeste as I remember her back, I'll still have Encre. And that'll make the whole thing worth it.

Encre POV
____________________________________
I was confused of Celestes actions. I came out, teased her, and she just snarled and walked away! That's not what she should have done.... I'm worried...

I look over at Jasper and see he looks a bit surprised, too. But he gets over it quickly and tackled me in a hug.

"Yay! You finally came out!" He said happily, tackling me in a hug.

I let out a yelp at the sudden act, but giggled and hugged him back.

"I missed you!" He said.

"Yeah..." I said carefully.

"Is Celeste the only reason you locked yourself in there?"

"... maybe not...." I said quietly.

"What was that?" Jasper asked, confused.

He must have not heard me.

"I said.... maybe not..." I replied, a bit louder this time.

"So there is another reason? What is it? Is there more than one other reason? Can you tell them to me?" He questioned quickly.

I only said maybe! Geez, he was quick to assume. Although... there was another reason... or two... or three....

"Maybe later...." I said quietly.

"Ok. When?" He asked.

"Later." I growled, annoyed.

Wait. Annoyed? Huh.... that was something I wasn't often... weird...

"Encre? Are you okay? You seem like Celeste did before she stormed off...?" Jasper asked, worried.

"S-Sorry...." I said anxiously.

"It's fine! It was propably my fault, anyways... for asking all those questions..."

"No.... well maybe..." I said, chuckling a bit.

He laughed a bit, too, before I pulled me into the chess room to play a quick game.

Fallacy POV
____________________________________
I was going to check on Encre. Even though I didn't want to, I really cared for the small, French skeleton. And hoped for.... a little more than just being her friend.

I cringed at this thought. God, I'm turning into a softie. I growled a bit, but didn't really have any reason to hate these feelings. I didn't want to, either....

But I still chose to.

Eterna POV
____________________________________
THOSE LITTLE CRAPS. They just marched right in as if they owned the place! Well, not on my watch!

I stormed after them to the castle.

"King Asgore!" The leader shouted.

King Asgore ran down the stairs and gaped at Lunar.

"Asgore, my sister found a mortal, one of YOUR mortals, in the Forbidden Forest." He snapped.

"What?! No sane mortal would go anywhere near the Forbidden Forest!"

"Are you saying I'm wrong?!" The dark ruler asked, the soldiers lining the room tensing and reaching for their swords.

Asgores eyes went wide as he quickly said,

"No, Lunar. It's just that... no one has gone missing, that I know of, and it seems unlikely that anyone would go there just for fun..."

"Someone has gone missing!" A loud voice said from elsewhere in the room.

All eyes turned and laid on the speaker.

Azure.

"Someone has gone missing! They've been gone for over a week!" Azure defiantly stated.

"Who?" Lunar and Asgore demanded.

"Encre! Encre Sparks is the one who's missing!" He yelled.

Confused whispers made their way around the room.

"Who's Encre?"

"How long has she been gone, exactly?"

"Is she still alive?"

"Quiet!" Asgore yelled.

"Azure, how long has she been missing exactly?" He asked calmly.

"Eight days, sir."

"Lunar, when did your sister find this mortal in the woods?"

"I... don't know the exact date." He muttered the last part, more of a low growl.

"I just wanted to inform you on this... accident. I also assume our peace treaty is standing?" He asked.

"Yes... why?" Asgore asked, nervously.

"No reason, just a question." He hissed.

"Let's go." He snapped sharply at the soldiers lining the room.

   He and the other wolves left the room, leaving only a few people.

"Eterna." Asgore asked.

"Yes?" I responded.

"I don't trust him. Would you and your troops accompany them out of town? And after that, I'd like you to keep a quiet watch on them. Bring a few soldiers, and a few strongmen to help."

"Yes, sir. Who should I bring?"

"Your choice. I trust you will choose well."

"I will, sir."

"You may leave now, Eterna."

   I turned to leave. One thought bothered me, though.

   Wasn't his sister supposed to be ruler?
