Ripped Away (Encre x Fallacy)

Chapter 17

Celeste POV
____________________________________
I see it. Jasper sees it. Shave sees it. WE ALL SEE IT. Encre and Fallacy are happy-go-lucky for each other! They are in LOVE.

It looks like the only people that can't tell are themselves.

Encre POV
____________________________________
I don't get why, but I've begun to enjoy Fallacy's presence more. He seems like a good person, and someone I could enjoy. He seems to enjoy my presence more now, too.

But I don't get why people keep on looking at me and Fallacy funny. Especially Celeste. Do they know something that I don't? Or am I just being superstitious?

Fallacy POV
____________________________________
After the bat incident, I'm seeing Encre differently. Before I had just seen her as another mortal, just one that by chance had come here with Celeste. Now, I see her as creative, caring, and.... well..... beautiful.

I blushed a bit, and growled. I would never love again after my wife died. But... then again... would she really want me to be lonely for the rest of my life? I sighed, confused and annoyed. Why can't life just be simple?

A knock on the library door brought me from my thinking. I still had an open book in my hands, so it looked like I was reading.

"Come in." I said.

Fibi stepped in.

"Sir, I'm going to the village. Would you like anything?"

I considered this for a second, and almost immediately thought of Encre, and how she'd told me that she had used to love painting.

"Could you pick up some paints, brushes, and a few canvases?" I responded.

"Yes, sir." She said quickly, turning and leaving.

I sighed. I knew the feeling of that had touched me ever since I had begun to see her differently.

I was in love, and I didn't hate it.

Lunars POV
____________________________________
I had needed new soldiers, so I sent the word around quickly, without having anyone who would turn on me know. The wolves and mortals standing in front of me were the ones who had trained the hardest, and were the most fierce.

   One caught my eye. She had a purple cloak covering most of her body, except for black boots and her head. I approached her, and she cowered a bit. She had tan skin and yellow eyes. She was also short.(credit for this character goes to 21_seconds_to_mars) 

   I approached her, my chest puffed out while I took long, confident strides. When I was in front of her, I growled deeply. She hissed and shrank back.

"What is your name?" I demanded.

"Katie." She responded meekly.

"Katie, do you fear me?" I asked.

"Maybe." She said quietly.

   I chuckled as I whispered to her,

"I'll remember you."

   With that I turned to the rest, looked them all over, and left.

Undynes POV
____________________________________
   I brought Azure, Rufous the blacksmith, and a few others. We left quickly, packing very little so we could easily follow Lunar and his troops. We set out about five minutes after they left.

   I completely underestimated how quick they would be. By the time we'd left, they weren't in sight, even though we were running at our fastest. We followed their trail, but it was getting pretty late.

"Let's stay here for the night." I growled, upset that we hadn't found them.

   We'd guickly put up all the tents, and there were two people in each.

Azure POV
____________________________________
   We had set up tents, but there has to be two to a tent. I stayed with Sir Rufous. Our sleeping bags were each at the sides, and we had changed into our pajamas.

"Goodnight, Azure." Rufous said from across the tent.

"Night Rufous!" I said, as I snuggled into my sleeping bag.

   And that night, I fell asleep listening to the bowls of wolves not too far off.
