Painted Wings (A Fallacy x Encre book)

Chapter 17(2/2)

It's been over two months with no attack from any of the sides but that was about to change....

Fallacy's P.o.V:

Why? Why now? I thought. I was flying through the halls as I searched for a specific weapon that my Father wielded long ago. When I turned a corner I saw some mortal and vampire troops fighting. I decided to go another way until I reached the library. Luckily it seems like no one has been here yet. I quickly began searching for my father's sword.
(Ya know Fallacy may be a Vampire and has teeth and claws but I believe in Jurassic situations he would use a sword.)
"Well, well, well, look what we have here." Says a familiar voice. Carlos.....
" You......litTLE SHIT!" I turn quickly and aimed at him striking with my claws but missed as he flew sideways out of my reach. "Tsk tsk tsk...It's been a while hasn't it Lord Fallacy?"
"Fuck you! Everything was perfect and of course your greedy self had to ruin it!!"
"My stars Fallacy your blaming everything on little old me??? Clearly it was Erra's fault for allowing a mortal in the castle." He smirks at me. I just growl at him. (Who knew vampires could growl? XD)
"ShUT UP!!!" And I strike at him again but he doges it. Damit why must I be such a good teacher. (If you don't understand Carlos was Fallacy's apprentice)
"Well then it if you keep attacking me maybe I won't tell you my compromise" I stop and look at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
He just smirks.

Encre:

I could hear the fighting for all the way down in the servents quarters. Suave was looking through a small hidden window Erra was there with him. "Well do you see anything?" Stitch asks.
"No-"
"There's a crow" says Erra.
"A crow?" I ask her. "Whats so special about a crow?"
"There's one crow meaning someone will die...."
"Erra that was from an old writers rhyme"
"What?" I qustioned very confused.
"There was a rhyme I was taught about forshadowing a charaters death in a story, andItseemsliketheauthorisusingit." She says.
" Well how does it go"
" One for Sorrow. Two for Mirth. Three for a Wedding. And Four for a Birth. Five for Silver. Six for gold. Seven for a secret never to be told."
" So someone might die??" Johnathan asks.
"Maybe so......." she looks down with sadness in here eyes. "I hope this doesn't apply to Fallacy." She finally says after a few moment of silence.
"I hope so too.....I hope so too."
"You really belive that this writers rhyme is true??" Sauve says putting his hand on his hip and staring at us like we were crazy.
"You don't know Sauve....it could happen....one of us might die." Timothy says.
Then we all just sat there in silence.

One for Sorrow......

Third Person's PoV:

The fight was getting brutal. Almost all around the castle there were bodies of mortals and vampires. Then it all went still quiet loomed the air as the fighting stopped everyone who hid in the sevents quarters were confused until they saw Fallacy and Carlos walk out of the castle together. Fallacy stipped of his cloak and only wearing his white under shirt and his pants. He also hand his hands tied. He had surrendered himself.

Two for mirth......

Encre, Suave, and Johnathan left the safety of the quarters to see what what going on.

Three for a wedding......

Once they got out everyone turned to them even Fallacy was turned to face them.

And four for a birth......

"Mon amour what are you doing" asked Encre tears on the verge of streaming down his face.
"Saving my kingdom"

Five for silver......

"You can't be serious!!" Encre yelled!!!

Six for gold......

"Encre go back inside all of you go back inside!" Fallacy yelled
"No!!" Encre yelled back even louder than before.

Seven for a secret...

"Lets go Fallacy" Carlos says. And they both turn as the rest of the mortal army leaves.
"No!!!" Encre yells again and grabs Suave's dagger and runs at Carlos but Carlos struck him first even before he got the chance. Encre went flying back and hit the ground with a huge wound in his ribcage his body limp with shallow breathing. Fallacy filled with anger goes after Carlos.

Fallacy's PoV:
"Why you little!" Then everything went black.....

Never to be told...

I woke up with a pain in my skull. I realized I was in my bed when my vision was stable. I sat up and looked besided me. It was empty. Was it not a dream!? I got up and ran downstairs to the dinning room to everyone there... well everyone but Encre.
"Where is he!?!" I yelled. They all looked at me with sadness in their eyes. "Encre's not here...." Suave says.
"They took him!" Jasper yells. "The bastards took him!" (Jasper watch your language!!)
"He's....Probably dead by now anyway..." Erra says with her head hanging low. "That wound would've killed him even before they got back to town..."
"The crow...." Jasper says with his eyes widening. I saw as tears fall down his face. *Hic*... *sniff*... *hic*... then more tears came from Jasper which made Erra and most of the maids break down too. Massa came up to me and put his hand on my cheek bone. His thumb wiped a tear away from my eye. When did I start to cry? I didnt say a word as i finally felt more tears slip from my eyes. Encre's dead. And
He killed him. The person who made me fall in love again. Dead by his hands. I was angry at not only Carlos but myself.  I could have protected him but I didn't instead I let him get hit by Carlos's knife.
For the first time in a long time I cried I screamed into Massa's shoulder as he hugged me as tight as he could. But I knew that no matter what I did.... it would never bring him back. And that thought made me remember when she died. Is it destined for that whomever I love will die.... I wanted to lock myself in my room just like I did when she died but then I remembered what happened last time I did that. I became heartless and made Erra and Jasper go through hell. I made everyone here go through hell. I dont want to be that person again. For Jasper and Erra's sake, for everyone's sake........for his sake. I will not become that person again.

I broke free from Massa's grasp and walked over to Jasper and Erra. Jasper was the only one who looked up at me while Erra kept her head down trying to quiet her cries. I bent down so that I was at the size of them. And I pulled them both into a hug.
