Colour And Strings

Chapter 38

*Fallacy's POV*

It's morning...I guess I'll go read some book. It's quiet.
There's not much book left me to read, I should ask Simon for more next time I go visit.

I look through my mountains of shelves, hoping I could find something new, then, I came acrossed it, a diary?

Who is it? I don't own one, nor anyone I know. Curiously, I opened it, there wasn't a name anywhere but it caught my attention with the first sentence.

'Encre, I'm sorry."

Encre? I carried on reading.

'If I had known he was going to be like that, I would have stopped him before it got to this point. Please understand that he didn't wish for this, he admired you, that's for sure, but never once did he feel the emostion of love towards you. When he was under the spell, he felt the pleasure of happiness and was addicted to the feeling. Even if the spell is stopped, he can't stop wanting to feel that emotion. I fear it's usless to save him, I never imagined she would use our Lord's favourite emotion into a weapon against him...please, if you ever read this, know that it wasn't his fault and please forgive him.

What the hell? Spell? A love spell? On who? Who's Lord? Forgive? Alright, now I'm confused.

I feel like I should show this to Encre but...

I'll just drop it off before she know I'm there. I pick up the book and walked out, flipping through the pages, it's not filled, just that first page. I set off through the wood, it's getting pretty late, maybe I can take my wings out?

No, that guy haven't been eating for a while now, it's not wise to let him out while I'm looking for Encre. I start off walking into the overgrown trees, the summer night air sweap pass me and the moon shyly showen herself from behind the moon.

Every step I make was a disturbance toward the scilent night but it's still enjoyable.

Soon enough, I can see the village, the first thing I saw was a poster, it seems there were a fight and the singing competition is held back two days later, now I'm start to worry about Encre.

I mean, I know she's strong but I don't think she can bring herself to harm anyone. Before I noticed, I was looking at her, she's on her knees, petting a dog while it eats.

I froze, I wonder if she's still mad at me...I walk quietly and slowly towards her until I'm about five or four step away.

"Encre?"

Still on her knees she turn her head around from her right to see me almost instantly. There was a moment of silence, she must still be mad at me.

"I'm not going to stay long, I just-"

Before I can finish, she rush infront of me and buried her head in my chest, I can hear quiet sob.

What should I do?
Giving out a bit sigh, I put my hand behind her head and my other hand slowly rub her back, around the shoulder part.

"I'm sorry Encre, for leaving you alone" I said in a low voice, almost a whisper, "I'm really sorry,"

She didn't respond but carry on crying, that's when I noticed something strange. There's cuts on her left face, her arms are bruised as well as her eyes and lips.

I gently held her head up, I stare at her worryingly.

"Encre! What happened?" I asked in a low voice, I don't want to scare her but I'm starting to feel anger once again.

"Fallacy, I'm scared," she said while the tears runs down her pale face,
"It's Lucifer, he's back,"
