Night time
The sun nears setting, and the servants start to wake, Suave was up and dressed already. He walked through the castle and waked up the others. Just as the sun was setting, all of them where eating breakfast. Suave then took some up to Encre.
Encre was just waking up. He was almost dressed when Suave arrived. He still felt a little weak, but he was getting better. Suave knocked and Encre said he could come in. Suave entered, "Good morning Encre, how are you feeling?" He smiled.
"Pretty good, I still feel a bit weak though, and hungry."
Suave smiled, he went over and gave the tray of food to Encre. "Here, I've got work to do, I'll see you at some point."
"Okay." He started to eat as Suave left.
Suave walked through the castle, cleaning and doing the chores. He thought a little about his crush on Jasper as he did so. The halls looked the same, there where slight differences, some which hid secret passages, he and Fallacy where the only ones who knew all of them, though Jasper knew a fair few.
Jasper was up, he had left a note in his room and was flying around outside, through the trees. He knew the dangers, but he needed to stretch his wings a bit. He was in his bat form. It was a calm, cool night, perfect for flying and the stars where out. He wasn't really paying attention to where he was going. He closed his eyes for a few seconds. Jasper crashed into something, a quick snap sounding after. Jasper got his bearings and looked around, metal, metal all around. 'Oh no... No!' He was trapped, he'd flown strait into one of the hunters traps. He was protected from sunlight, but he was unsafe, Eterna could find the trap and bring him in. He wasn't just scared, he was terrified. 'Please let another of my kind find me, or one of the servants. ' He thought about Suave.
Suave was passing Jasper's room and decided to check in on him, he knocked. No reply. He knocked again. Still no reply. "Lord Jasper? I'm coming in." He entered and found Jasper missing. Looking around a little, he found the note on the bedside. He opened it and read it. He wasn't worried yet. He put the note down and went to the kitchen to help prepare lunch for his colleges.
Fallacy was working in his study. It was a small, out of the way room which was off the library, he did have a desk in his room, but that was for when he was working late. He was looking through reports of hunters and other possible threats to his kind. The ruler was focussed, using his years of experience to his advantage to work out the best way of going about things. Safe to say, it was boring. He wanted to get the art room in the castle cleaned up and ready for when Encre started to work on his paintings. He'd talk to Suave about getting two or three people on that later.
After finishing the last of the urgent paperwork and taking care of minor and major meetings, he headed up into his room, a large, spacious bedroom with an emperor size four poster canopy bed and a large wardrobe. He entered and took off his cloak, hanging it up.
As Fallacy was starting to get ready for bed. Suave was walking to Jasper's room to see if the young Lord was back. He entered after silence answered his two knocks. Jasper wasn't there. Suave grabbed the note and made a run for Fallacy's quarters. Fallacy had to know about this.
Suave arrived in record time, making use of the secret passages to cut down the time, he was out of breath. He quickly, politely, but hurriedly knocked. When Fallacy answered the door, Suave handed him the note and after a few seconds, spoke. "He hasn't come back yet and the sun has risen" he was scared for Jasper. Fallacy nodded to Suave.
"Get some rest, then at midday go into town to ask around. Find out where he is if he has been taken by them. Take one of the hoses." Suave nodded and bowed before running off to his room to sleep.
(A/N real quick. I've been pretty busy recently, haven't been able to work on this due to homework and stuff. I'll try to get back into the regular updates.)
