Caught up in strings InkxError

Chapter 11

I woke up, and the smell of food made me wake up even more. I found a tray with baguettes, ham, different types of cheese and a wide choice of vegetables. I quietly ate all the food as I looked for different materials to paint a huge canvas. I placed the tray on the exact same place as before, and strings fell down and grabbed the tray. It was a few days since I had been captured, but I got used to everything, except Fallacy and his stupid rules. I grabbed a paintbrush, some blue acrylic paint, some red paint and yellow paint. After I got the materials needed, I walked over to the canvas I har already put up the day before. I painted my village. I really missed it. 'Wonder if they are looking for me. I am not sure if they know were to search tho.'I continued painting in silence.

I used extra long time on this one, I wanted it to seem as real as possible. i looked at my work when I was done. It felt like I could reach it. I placed it at the left side of the bed so I could wake up every morning and see the village. It kinda felt like home with the picture nearby. I heard the door open. I turned around and saw Fallacy again. "I think you might need some fresh air, Encre." he said. I followed him, and we soon stood in front of a door. Fallacy opened it, and we walked into a beautiful garden.

I stood there in awe, the garden had all sorts of flowers, and the lighting made it even more magical. The fresh air, the flowers, everything in this garden gave me inspiration. I looked over to Fallacy. He stood there and his eyes were closed. It looked like he was enjoying this too. I walked over to him. "Care to talk? I have a few questions to ask you." I asked. He opened his eyes and nodded. We sat down on the green grass, and I looked at him. "Is it okay if I get to know you better?" I asked. He sighed.

"I was born a hundred and forty years ago, my dad died when I was very young, so mum had to take care of me. She was the kindest person in this world, and she always tok pauses from her work to play with me. One day, when I was out playing, our village got attacked by a dragon. It had already killed a lot of the townsfolk, but when I saw my mum almost getting killed, I discovered my power. I have the power to seal whoever I want with my strings, and send them to hell. I did that with the dragon, and the people in the village treated me like I was a hero. Me and my mum got to live in a Castle, the one were I live right now. A man with a black cape visited me when I was 15. He pretended to be poor, and we took him in and treated him well, giving him food and shelter. But we should not have taken him in. A night before I turned sixteen, he killed my mother. I tried to fight back, but I simply failed, and he bit me. That is how I became a vampire. When I woke up the next day, he had killed everyone in the village brutaly. All of my friends, my associates, and my mum were dead. I tracked the man, rather vampire, for a couple of weeks before I found and sealed him away... That is my story. It's rather sad, if I say so myself."

I saw the look in his eyes, it was like I could feel the depression, the loneliness that was locked around his heart. "I have to be honest with you. The only reason I'm keeping you here, is because I feel lonely. I have benn roaming around this Castle for too long without anyone to talk with. When you came inside, I felt myself being happier. But I can't keep you here just so I can be happy, you have a life, and I don't want yours to be taken away from you like mine was. You are free to leave if you want to."

He turned away from me, and I swear I saw a few tears escape from him. He stood up and was about to walk away when I hugged him from behind. I felt himstiffen at first, but he relaxed more afterwards. "I don't want to leave you. I think I want to stay here for a while, it is actually kinda nice. And maybe we can be friends? We can bring your life back, and you don't need to be lonely anymore." I said. He turned around and returned the hug. "Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked. I nodded. He looked down at me, and for the first time, I saw a smile, a real smile on his face.
