(Lunars POV is kinda about himself and Celeste more than Fallacy and Encre and it isn't the most important. It has some perspective on his and Celestes relationship, and what he wants to do when Hes king. If you don't want to read it, you can just skip over it and read from Encres POV on. Thanks for reading meh book! If you want me to draw/mention You, comment on THIS!!)
Lunars POV
_______________________________________
My sister and I had left, and I was leading her through the woods. A thin rain had started to drizzle through the trees, wetting down my already slicked back black hair. She was following silently, holding that vampire. I glanced back at them.
Celeste seemed to be thinking of something. A rare event, for any of the brain cells she had left to be used for thought. I was worried, of course, that she may be plotting against me.
"Celeste, what's on your mind?" I asked casually, as a normal brother would address his sister.
As she looked up to speak, i could see her eyes sparkling happily. I knew she was glad I wanted to be her brother again. It almost made me regret my decisions. But I'll push that aside, at least for now.
"I'm thinking about when we were kids, brother, remember? We'd used to swim in the creek, and run through the fields..." she trailed off, a young wistfulness in her voice.
I smiled softly. I did remember those days, when things were so simple.
Although she was older than me, she always respected me. She tried to help me, she loved me so much...
To her statement, I nodded, a soft smile still stretched across my face.
"Yes, I do Celeste." I said softly.
Her eyes shone more and she smiled happily. I knew it was about time everyone at the castle would be waking up, so I picked up the pace.
She followed, and we soon approached my castle. It was almost in shambles, the walls were broken down and covered in plants, and the courtyard, which used to be filled with beautiful flowers and medicine plants, was now nothing more then a dirt patch, which was slowly turning to mud in the rain.
Celeste visibly saddened seeing it. She must be remembering when we lived here with our parents. Those were simple, carefree times... some days I wish I could be a child again, running around in this beautiful world...
I shook it off and went inside. What was done was done, and what's in the past stays there. I can't change now, I've gone to far. I will rule the three kingdoms, and when I'm done, then the world will be beautiful again. Then the world will be peaceful. Then.... the world will be mine.

Encres POV
_______________________________________
I woke and shrieked. There was a strange reek everywhere, and nothing looked right. My vision was blurry, mainly from the tears from when I couldn't see Fallacy. I screamed his name and scrambled to my feet. By now most of the others had started to wake.
Jasper had jolted up the second I had shrieked, and he was now trying to comfort me, by my side. I cried, practically sobbing.
Wolves and vampires looked around, either confused or enraged.
"What's going on?!" A voice yowled.
An enraged vampire was whipping her head around furiously. She looked like Fallacy, and I cried more.
Jasper looked up at her, teary eyed.
"Aunt Felicia, dad got stolen!"
"WHAT?!?" She yowled, absolutely livid now.
I flinched and cried more, clinging to Jasper more.
"Aunty, please calm! You're scaring Encre!" Jasper said worriedly.
The vampire, Felicia, as I now knew her, was obviously still in a rage, but calmed herself for me. She walked over, and kneeled next to us.
"I'm sorry that this is how we met, I'm Felicia, Fallacys sister. I'm assuming you're Encre?" She said, calming her voice to a gentle tone.
I nodded softly, and said in a soft voice, trying to soften my accent,
"Its a pleasure, though it would've been better if we'd been..... introduced by Fallacy........."
I had momentarily calmed myself, but tears were filling my eye sockets again.
Jasper hugged me close, and tried to calm me. Felicia did the same. I let them, and slowly fell asleep, still teary eyed and worried about the one man, no, vampire, whom I loved.

Felicias POV
_______________________________________
I was pissed. No, I was beyond pissed. I knew Celeste ever since she was a little baby, and her brother didn't do squat for her. But she still loves him. Now look at what happened! Stupid kid...
I sighed, knowing nothing could be done. I stood and began walking towards the doors.
"Aunt Felicia, where are you going?" Harper called after me.
"To find my brother." I spat with venom, and walked out, to find the one guy I couldn't let disappear- my brother, Fallacy.
