A New Distance - Fallacy x Encre (Book Three)

Chapter 1

I had crashed in front of a rogue's home. They kept me hidden as well as the other children that were there. I am currently only fifteen years old. I became the royal painter at the age of thirteen. Now I have fled and am bidding my time till the day I find Kip in a net in the forest. I am thinking back to what the male rogue said before hiding me.
Thinking...
"You are... So... Small..." They had said while picking me up. I had cuddled into his hand due to it being so warm. He hid me carefully.

Not Thinking...

"Sir..." I hear. I turn and see one of the other children as the sun begins to shine in my eyes. "Um... Yes?" I say nervously. "Were you born a vampire?" They ask. "No... I was not. I am mortal born." I answer. "How do you know that term?" I hear from behind me. I turn back around and see the male rogue that has been caring for me. "Fallacy... Lord Fallacy told me... Befo-" I get cut off. "Fallacy as in the King of Vampires?" They say. "And before what!" They add and I flinch. I gulp. "Yes... Before he took my brother and turned me. Knowing Eterna would attempt to save me. He is keeping my brother safe and out of harms way. He was supposed to be hung for saving a rogue's and quite a few vampire's lives the day I was turned." I answer shaking having backed into a tree. The male rogue is in front of me looming over me. I gulp in fear and close my eyes ready to be hit. I then feel a hand on my head and it is gentle. I fearfully open my eyes. "I shall not hurt you. You have no idea what you mean to the King of Vampires. He turned you, a male, but has never had any relations with a woman... He chose you as a mate." He says. I let my eyes go wide. "What! Why me of all people? Anyone... Why?" I ask fear in my voice. "How many times have you met him?" He asks calmly as he lets go of me gently. I let my eyes go wider. "We used to meet often. My brother introduced me to his highness before I was made the royal painter..." I answer. The male nods and says "Why hasn't he come searching for you. As well as royal guards. They..." The male pauses. "There is something going on here." He says bluntly before gently grabbing me again and taking me inside.
"Have you ever met the mortal King?" They ask. I answer "Yes, but it was mostly his current wife, whom I meet with." "Vampires and rogues run and fly faster than carriages. They must be on their way..." He trails off thinking. "But Eterna would be already be there?" I say questionably. He looks at me confused. "She is not mortal. She is a vampire. She's a traitor that knows how to deal and care for bite marks. I've seen her bite mark as well. She... She has also been around since the third king took over." I say gulping. His eyes widen and he says "This all makes sense. We could use this information to save people." He turns and leaves suddenly. I stay still not sure of what to make of this. 'Fallacy what have I gotten myself into?' I think worriedly. I leave the house going for a walk.

Time skip...

I hear squeaking and I hear someone calling for help. I locate the noise to see a small boy being attacked. He is covered in blood. Then I notice them attacking the restraints and not him. I see a bunch of traps and I listen carefully. I approach from behind in the dark. "Stop them from screaming Eterna is on her way. As well as many guards, hurry." I say panickedly. "Who are you..." I hear. They all move away from the child who is crying. I run forwards before incasing my hand in magic. "I'm just a new mortal born I am not important. Let's get this kid out of this sink trap before he hits the poison and acid." I say melting away the metal bar around his stomach. My hand is burning but I clench my teeth. I recognize the child from Kip's village. One of Kip's friends. The bar finally breaks and I pull him up and back right away. They are grabbing onto me.
Suddenly the trap sets off and I go to cover us all in a layer of magic. As it is still closing up it goes to hit the kid. I move in front of it and I get hit in the arm and I rip it out right away. I already feel the silver in my blood stream. "Hurry... Get away with the kid... Eterna is almost... *gasp* here..." I say in pain. They are all staring in shock. "GO! NOW!" I shout in pain. They nod running off. I lay myself down and just lay there gasping to breathe as I am passing out. I grab a small knife I have and cut open my wound as I lay there. There is a bat watching me as the silver and my blood is pouring out of the wound. I pick up some of the needles with my magic getting ready to fire them at Eterna's men. They start to come into view. "The kid got out of the trap." I hear then they are all sliding down. I fire the needles at them as they hit the bottom. There are more of them, then the ones where I was looking. 'Forgive me Fallacy.' I think with a tear rolling down my cheek. Suddenly I hear loud amounts of squeaking. I feel arms go around me and being lifted up. It is the man that takes care of me right now. He shakes his head at me and picks me up. "I told you to stay close to home." He says. "What are you doing to that kid, rogue scum?" I hear. I see Lord Night and my eyes widen. I bow my head and drop down carefully. I see a trap he is about to set off and I use my magic to push him back as he sets off the net. I let out a sigh. I hear Eterna laugh suddenly. I flinch. I smell blood and my fangs extend on their own. I cover my mouth embarrassed. Everyone else has backed away or ran. I am trembling in fear and in hunger. 'Someone... Please... Someone save me.' I think as she grabs my hands as I hit a tree. I squeeze my eyes shut, out of fear. "Encre you shall die if you don't drink blood. You have marrow seeping from your bones. 'She's trying to do it again.' I think panicking. I force my fangs to retract and she slams my head into the tree. Lord Night is watching in terror. If he moved he will be heard by guards. I look him in the eyes apologetically. I then close my eyes and then let my eyes go green and letting my fangs extend. Eterna jumps seeing me do this. "So you have the rogue genetic in your blood. Never thought you a calm, collect and peaceful child would have that genetic." I hear running as Eterna speaks down to me. 'Keep her distracted.' I think before trying to get at her arm and cut hand. She smirks before trailing her hand along my face smearing blood on me. I glare at her knowing she knows that the poison and silver is still in my body. I feel my insides burning again and I fall limp in her grasp. "The poison the kid mentioned, he must be so weak from it." I hear. I can barely move. Suddenly Eterna places her hand right in front of my face. I start whimpering feeling so weak and powerless. My magic requires concentration, but I can't get any with feeling the way I am. My eye sight is spinning more as my arm burns again. Eterna wipes my wound clean. I relax into her breathing deep but shaking. Suddenly she places two fingers below my fangs. "Not yet..." She says. "What the hell are you doing to him!!!" I hear. I whimpering wanting blood. "Finishing what I started. The reason why he ran." She says smirking. I tear up force my head away from her. "Eterna... Get away from him" I hear as my head is spinning. Tears slip from my eyes and I hear a gasp. 'Fallacy... I do not want to be trained... Help me... Please... I am scared..." I beg within my mind. More tears leak from my tired eyes as I sink back and let myself shut down. My eyes begin to go white and my tears run clear. Eterna looks shocked. "The poison was too much for you... Now you do not care to fight back? You have always been so weak." Eterna says loudly. "Take that back!!!" I hear suddenly. Lord Night has her by the neck separating us. I see another needle and reach for it as I slump over. Lord Night looks worried. "A Lord. Now isn't this surprising." Eterna says holding a stake to his stomach. He does not flinch as he stands there, even though it must burn. I then force myself to grab the needle and fling myself forwards stabbing her in the back with it. I fall over trembling to move. A guard has me by the neck holding my small frail body up. He throws me into a net trap and I just lay there in pain. My guardian comes over and has me bite him as he removes me from the net. He is holding me in his arms shaking. "Kid... Come on... Show those beautiful eyes of yours." He says holding me. I hear a gun cock. I see him with a gun to his head. I tackle him down as the gun fires. I then pin down the guard and bite into them draining them of their blood. They die right then and there.

Time skip...

I had passed out due to being stabbed at some point after saving my guardian. My wounds are being re-dressed as I lay there in pain. There is a loud knock at the door suddenly and one of the kids answer it. There is chattering going on. I wince feeling how tight I am being wrapped. My eyes have been covered as well. Everything hurts due to the poison. I lay there trying to steady my breathing. "Encre... You have a visitor." I hear suddenly. I nod slowly. "What happened to him?" I hear. "Silver infused poison he knew it might kill him, but he jumped in front of a child after helping free them from a deadly trap. Brave is he not?" I hear and attempt to sit up. "Encre... No." I hear my guardian's accent say firmly. I lay back down with a shaky breath. "How do you know this child Night?" I hear him ask. "I recognize him. He and someone Fallacy has at the castle currently. They met continuously in a field full of flowers. Never thought that he was meeting a mortal born." I hear Lord Night scoff. I feel hurt by his words, but I do not let it show or be heard. 'Fallacy... This timeline... I am so injured... I might not be able to meet you tomorrow.' I think trying not to cry. 'Fallacy... I am in so much pain... I want to see you again. But will you even recognize me? Will you still love me the same?' I think as I clench my teeth in an attempt to not cry. 'Encre... It is alright. I recognize you and of course I love you the same. We made a promise last timeline. I plan on keeping it. Now take a deep breath.' I hear. I take a deep breath even though it is very shaky. 'We will make it through this... Together. I promised you that. I intend to keep my promise.' I hear and I smile gently feeling so much better.
