(The first meeting with someone out of the castle, let's see how this goes!)

"Hello?" Peinture called out into the apearantly empty halls. Almost everyone was asleep seeing that it was close to the middle of the day. Jasper had woken up and gone to get something to eat. He had seen peinture enter and went to get suave, excited for the new guest. "Is someone there?" Peinture called out once again. "I don't mean to intrude, but i've lost my horse and I need a place to wait out the storm." He could hear his voice echo back. Jasper and suave were quick to come back, hiding behind a corner to see if he was of any threat. After a short while jasper stepped out. "Lord jasper wait! He might be of harm!" Suave whisper yelled to him. Jasper ignored suave. "Of course monsieur, you are welcome here!" He called out. peinture turned to the sound of jaspers voice. "Hello." Japser smiled, showing his fangs to peinture who let out a gasp of surprise. "You're a vampire!" He exclaimed, backing up from jasper. Suave came out as well, not seeing any reason to hide anymore. "calm down, we have no intentions in harming you." He said in a calm tone. peinture stopped backing up once he found that he was far enough from them. Suave placed a hand on jaspers shoulder as to tell him to stay back. Their new guest seemed diffrent from the rest. Suave walked up to peinture, smiling kindly as to calm him down and to show that he too was a mortal. Peinture picked up on this and stayed where he was, still not willing to come closer to jasper. Suave could see that peinture was completely wet from the storm outside. "You are soaked to the bone monsieur. Come warm yourself by the fire." Suave said and started to lead him to a living room where a fire was just about to go out in the fireplace. Suave put in some extra wood to keep it burning. Jasper had followed them and was now standing beside peinture, making him jump when he started to talk. Jasper told him to sit down in a comfortable chair that was placed just infront of the fireplace. Suave turned to look at them when he heard jasper talk. "Lord jasper, that's your fathers chair. You know what he will do once he finds out." Suave told him, seeing to keep his cool. "He's always in his room. He won't find out." Jasper said back. It was true, lord fallacy barely left his room, but the sound of peinture exclaiming that jasper was a vampire had woken the lonely lord. He had gotten out of his room to see what all the noice was about and saw the three as they entered the living room. Peinture had started relaxing a little, even with jaspers company. Suave had agreed that fallacy wouldn't find out and was about to get some thee for the guest as the door to the room flew open, sending a cold wind through the room that blew out the fireplace and send a shiver down everyone's spine. "Lord fallacy!"Suave said, standing the closest to the door. He bowed in respect for the lord. A small "Uh oh..." could be heard from the young lord, alerting peinture who immediately stood up from the chair. Fallacy walked past suave and towards the new guest, not looking happy. Jasper backed up a bit as his father came closer. "There is a stranger here." Fallacy said in a cold tone. It has been a long time since a new mortal had come to the castle and fallacy didn't seem happy with their arrival. "Father let me explain. He was lost in the woods and needed a place to shelter for the storm." Jasper said, hoping his father wouldn't kick peinture out. "He was comepletely soaked so we brought him here and--" Fallacy interupted him with a low growl and jasper immediatly shut up. Peinture backed up as fallacy came closer. "Who are you? what are you doing here?" Fallacy asked in the same cold tone. "I-I was lost in the forest an-and--" "You are not welcome here!" Fallacy growled. "I-I'm sorry." Peinture was shivering in fear for the vampire lord, eyes widened. "What are you staring at?" Fallacy asked, the fact that he was hurting on the inside showing up for only a second. "N-nothing!" Peinture said back. "So you came here to stare at the beats?!" Fallacy yelled, even shocking jasper and sauve by calling himself a beast. Peinture made a run for it, fallacy following him. Peinture ran for the door, but fallacy got there before him. "Please I meant no harm! I just needed a place to stay!" Peinture said, fear overwhelming him. "I'll give you a place to stay." Fallacy's cold tone returned. He easyly picked up peinture and bit him, drinking just enough to stop him from fighing back. He walked away as suave and jasper regained from the shock and hurried out of the living room. They could just see fallacy's cape dissapear behind a corner at the top of the stairs that lead to the tallest tower of the castle. 

~Back in the village~

Encre was sitting on a small hill behind his house, painting the sky and thinking about what kind of adventures he could have. He felt lonely there on the hill, no one of the village really liked him and his brother so he didn't have anyone to talk to. Encre was humming a small tune and after what seemed like half an hour of humming and painting, he finished the painting and continued humming. It soon turned into soft singing. "I want much more than this provintial life!" He got up from where he was sitting and walked around the field. "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell...and for once it might be grand, to have someone understand...I want so much more than they have planned..." He sat down again, looking at the blue sky when peinture's horse came running out of the forest without peinture. The horse had escaped the vampires somehow. Encre quickly got up and gotworried when he didn't see his brother. "where is peinture?!" Encre looked at the horse. "What happened?" He started to take the coach off of the back of the horse. "You have to take me to him!" Encre got onto it's back and the horse headed back into the forest. It took them about one and a half hour to get to the castle. "What is this place?" Encre asked himself. The horse backed up a bit. He got off of the horse and placed it in a stall where there was food and water, it even looked like there could be more horses nearby. Encre entered the castle, closing the door behind him. Suave and jasper were still up, worried about what fallacy was going to do to their guest. "I hope he's going to be ok..." Jasper said. "He's going to be fine, I'm sure of it." Suave said, trying to calm jasper down. They hadn't heard encre enter, but heard him once he started talking. "Hello? Is anyone here?" He called out, walking towards the big staircase in the center of the hallway. "Hello? Peinture?" He asked, hoping his brother would be in there somewhere...

(Ok, so I said I wouldn't use the songs, but i couldn't keep myself from doing so. Also I skip some parts where gaston is flirting with belle because it doesn't fit in the story. Anyways, here is the next part!
See ya, Lisa)
