Painted Wings (A Fallacy x Encre book)

Chapter 2

Erra's PoV:

Suave and I watched as Encre walked away with the money. "So M'lady how much money did we give him?" Suave asks me.

"30 gold coins," I say.

"Your kidding, right?"

"Nope," Suave sighs. "Don't worry it was all my money,"

"Erra I use your money to buy food!"

"So is that why I only had 30 coins left!!" Suave starts laughing.

"No Im joking, and I don't know why you only had 30 coins left,"

"It was probably Jasper!" I shouted as we walk up the trail.

"Probably,"

"I really hope that Jasper wont tell Fallacy about us going out again."

"Who knows M'lady he could."

"And he would,"

"Yeah he would." We stayed quiet for a moment.
"Hey Suave?"

"Yes Erra?"

"Jasper showed me a book yesterday called "The Bibble"

"Do you mean "The Bible"?"

"Yeah.....anyway he showed me it and when i said "It says the bibble" he then yelled: "YOU QUESTION THE WORDS OF THE MIGHTY JIMMY!!" then I walked out of the library scared for my life." Suave just stared at me for a second then started laughing.

"Its not that funny!!" I yelled again.

"Now I know why Fallacy wants me to keep an eye one you two....."

"What??"

"Nothing!"

Encre's PoV:

"Alors?"(So?)

"Well what I could find on the name 'Erra' is Erra David. She is part vampire and part Fowal but it says that she died at the age of 5."

"Fowal? qu'est ce que Fowal?(what is Fowal?)"

"Fowal is the tribe of the golden eyes that lives on a island somewhere"

"Oh"

"Who ever this 'Lady Erra' is they probably used a fake name, but yet this money is real are you sure you're still going to paint a picture for her. In the forbidden forest may I add"

"Dr. Lofty, vous savez très bien que je ne crois pas aux vampires,(Dr. Lofty, you know very well that I do not believe in vampires)" I say in a serious tone.

"Okay okay, I know, but be careful anyway.

"Vous savez que je le ferai,(You know I will)" and with that I grabbed the bag of coins and I leave to my studio to grab my supplies.

When I walked in I saw a small bat at my window, but it quickly flew off when it noticed me. I just stared at the widow confused for a moment before grabbing my supplies. I left the bag of coins in my house and left not knowing what awaits me ahead.

The forest was pretty dark but I went the direction 'Suave' gave me and landed at a glowing green pond. I sat at a nice spot and started to paint.

Time seemed to go faster in the forset. To me it felt like days have gone by. Luckily I was almost done until I heard some shuffling behind me. I jumped up and I grab a dagger from my supply bag. "qui est là?(who's there?)" and I point the dagger at the bushes. "montre toi!(Show yourself!)" After a while I assumed the coast was clear, so I started to sit down again until something jumped out at me and pinned me to a tree. And I closed my eyes preparing to be killed.

When nothing happened, I opened my eyes hesitantly to see another skeleton. He was black boned but had some blue marks around his eye sockets, and yellow and red around his phalanges. But really shocked me the most was that he had two sharp teeth. Like a vampire. "What is a mortal like you doing in my forest" mortal? His forest? What??
"J-je suis venu pour peindre cet étang ici pour une fille" (I-I came to paint this pond here for a girl)
"A girl?" It seemed like he understood what I said. "What did this girl look like?" He asked demandingly
"S-she had dark skin and freckles she also had golden eyes " I tell him.
" Oh! elle avait aussi un squelette majordome avec elle,"(she also had a skeleton butler with her).
"So you can speak both french and english" he says to himself .
"bien... (well) somewhat of English," He glared at me with wide angry eyes, but they turned angrier as he aims for my neck and before I could scream everything went black.

Fallacy's PoV:

I bit him, not to much to kill him or turn him. Just enough to make him unconscious for a while. I then picked him up. I noticed his stuff stuff and decided to come back later for them if I keep him alive long enough. Then I flew off to the castle. Erra and Suave better have good reasons why they let a mortal into the forest, or else.

They are both dead.

Once I landed outside of the castle entrance I walked inside quickly. I got a couple of gasps from the maids. Luckily Suave walked down the grand staircase steps at the perfect time. He opend his mouth agape when he sees the mortal in my arms."Suave, you have five minutes to get Erra and come up with a reason why you two had a mortal come into the forest or else, you two are both dead. Got it?" I howled and watched as Suave quickly turned and ran back up the steps. I handed the mortal to Gazelle, I told her to take him to infirmary and to tell me when he wakes up.She nodded quickly and hurried toward the infirmary. But till he wakes up, I was going to have a little chat with Suave and Erra.

Suave's PoV:

Erra and I walked up to Fallacy's room, we already knew what was going to happen to us. We were probably going to die. Luckily I told m'lady before hand that I was going to do the talking, though she objected. I gave her a quick list of why I should do it and why she shouldn't. Once we reached Fallacy's door I knocked on it and heard a very angry, "come in". From inside. I opened the door to see an enraged Fallacy. "Explain. Now." He yells and we both gulped.

"It was Erra's idea" I say quickly and I pointed at her.

"You FUCKING Bitch. You said that you would do all the talking!" She yells.
"I am doing the talking!" Fallacy then turned his attention towards Erra. His eyes start to turn a reddish purple.Mostly meaning he might kill us. Erra was frozen, she didn't move and she was holding her breath luckily for her, Gazelle rushed in. "M'lord! M'lord," she takes a breather and speaks again "t-the mortal is awake." We all look at Fallacy waiting for his next words. His eyes go back to normal and he opens his mouth to speak.

"Good, now. Erra, Suave, how about we go meet our guest." He says with a twisted smirk.
