Painted Wings (A Fallacy x Encre book)

Chapter 1

Encre's PoV:

I hurried to my house to grab some art supplies. Surprisingly, I finally got a commision from someone, which is great since I haven't gotten any money since I quit being the king's royal painter.

The commission was to paint the sunset, the guy wanted it to be painted from atop Lover's Hill where he and his lover first met. I thought it was sweet, and plus the amount he said he give me was plentiful. When I got to my house I grabbed all the stuff I needed an headed on my way to Lover's Hill, literally the best place to see the sunset.

As I was hurrying to the hill I heard a passing conbersation between two lady townfolks and I couldn't help but eavesdrop.
"Do you believe the rumors that Old man Greg was taken by a vampire,"

"Of course there's no way he would leave his family in the middle of the night like that"

"But all his stuff was missing there is no way a "vampire" would've taken his stuff too," I say interrupting them.

"Oh Encre, I know you dont believe in this vampire stuff but how could he just disappear?" Asked one of them.

"He left town thats it," I retorted. " He took his stuff and left,"
They just rolled their eyes at me as I headed off to my destination. I didn't really care about their talk about vampires, there's enough evidence to prove he just left town. Though as I was walking I could feel eyes glaring as me. I just shrugged it off knowing it probably was those two lady's back there. But I swear on my life I saw a pair of eyes watching me from the forest, but as I did with the ladies I just shrugged it off.

???'s PoV:

I watched as the skeleton turned and looked at me. I froze but he looked away and shrugged. I sighed. "That was close," I said to myself. "What was close?" I heard a low voice say behind me. I jumped up shrieking and turned to look at the figure. I sighed again realizing it was just Suave.

"M'lady! You shouldn't shriek like that we could be caught! And that wouldn't end well for you since your a vampire!" He scolds me, times like this I forget I'm older than him.

"Well it's your fault for scaring me!"

"Well it's your fault for sneaking around and stalking the townsfolk, you know you have to wait one more month till you can attack the town,"

"I know, I know, but didn't you see him? He's perfect for-"

"No!" He gives me the face of displeasure as he crosses his arms. "Stop trying to pair him up with mortals, that will never work out,"

"But I got a plan this time,"

"Oh no no no, you know what happened last time you tried to set someone up with Fallacy," he gave me another face of displeasure.

"But I think it could work out this time!! Please Suave you got to help me!!!!!" I beg.

"Lady Erra no! He'll kill us this time if it fails or if he finds out"

"Yeah lets not tell Jasper or Gazelle our plans this time," I say tapping my bottom lip as I remember what happened, last time.

"Erra there wont be a "this time"!" He yelled luckily low enough that the townsfolk wouldn't hear him.

"But Suave," I gave him the puppy dog eyes.

"No,"

"Please..."

"Erra no..."

"PLEASE...."

"NO..."

"PLEASE!!!!!!!....."
