Kill Him

Encre POV
Jasper has asked me to teach him how to paint. I said yes as I think it will help me get to know him a bit more.
And also so he won't completely hate me when we tell him.
"Now, it's important to have patience. This takes a while to learn." I told him
"How long did it take you to learn?" He asked.
"I am self taught so... oh I don't know two, three years?" I answered.
"That's not that long."
I chuckled.
"It may take longer for some people."
"Nope. Not me!" He insisted.
"Alright, if you say so."
"I do."
He was actually very good for his first time painting. I was proud and impressed. We were silent, painting for an hour as I gave him tips and helped him along the way.
"Did father tell you that grandma and grandpa have a party soon?"
"He did. Why?"
"Well... if we're being honest I know that you two are in a relationship. Like it's extremely obvious. And I really wanna see you two trying to dance. That'll be funny." He said.
"Oh! Um... h-how do you... feel about it?"
"Hm, I trust you. I wouldn't mind it if you two got married but, don't expect me to call you papa or anything." He said.
"Okay?"
The sun started to rise so I closed the curtains and Fallacy put Jasper to bed. I went to my room and continued to draw.
Or tried to. I just had no ideas. I felt bad. I don't know why it's just this... uneasy feeling. Fallacy came into my room.
  "Thank you mon amour for knocking." I said sarcastically.
  He sat by me and held my hand.
  "Encre, I feel odd. Not sick. It's more of an instinct."
  "Me too. Do you think something will happen?" I asked, resting my head on his chest.
  "I'm not sure... maybe I should stay with you tonight, just incase."
  I smiled as he held me. I felt safer. Then, just as I was almost asleep, I hear glass shatter and multiple screams.
  Fallacy tells me to get Jasper and go somewhere safe. So I tell Jasper we need to go and he gets his cloak on, I don't know ver many safe places here.
  "Encre w-what's going on?!" He asked.
  "I-I am not entirely sure child. We need to hide somewhere safe do you know any places?" I asked, trying and failing to stay calm."
  He lead me to a downstairs area, before I could go down the stairs I see Eterna, an old friend. Now ex friend. Holy shit she's here to kill them!
  I can't just let that happen. I told Jasper to hide while I go find Fallacy and Suave and the rest of the staff. They all seemed to be hiding, except Suave who was trying to convince Fallacy to go with us.
  Then they saw me and tried rushing me back to Jasper. And yet, I put them with him so I could try talking this out.

Fallacy POV
  I tried stopping Encre but he insisted on talking to her about this.
  "No! Do you have any idea how that would effect us!? If you were killed!?" I whisper yelled.
  "Well I have to try! This has been going on far to long. I want her to leave you alone."
  I sighed and looked at him. I kissed him, hugged him, and carried him downstairs.
  "Wha- Fallacy let me go!"
  "No. I'm not risking this."
  I only put him down when we were far enough from the main floor to not be heard.
  "What do we do?" Jasper asked.
  "I dont know I'm figuring it out as we go." I answered.
  Encre was looking around, scared. I could only imagine what he was thinking. He has such a creative mind.
  Normally it's good, useful. Right now it's probably driving him crazy thinking about what the hunter would do when she finds us. 
  I held his hand. His skin was ice cold and I could feel him shaking. I put my cape around him. He just hung onto my arm. I didn't mind.
  "Your highness, may I suggest that, maybe, just maybe, I-I know you were against it but-"
  "He isn't going to talk to her."
  "He knows her. He could persuade her to leave."
  "Or he could die." Jasper said.
  "See, he gets it."
  "I am not saying I agree. I'm just saying that it is a possibility." He added.
  I rolled my eyes. I then noticed Encre wasn't by me anymore. What? Where'd he go!?
  I look around the dimly room, he wasn't there. My eyes widened as I saw him turn to go up to where the hunter was.
  "May I suggest... we go after him?" Suave said.
  "Thought you wanted him to go." Jasper asked him.
  "Yes, I did not consider that he'd go unarmed."
 
Encre POV
  I go up the stairs and to the main floor, no sign of Eterna. I start to wander. I see her standing in the art room, facing toward the window. She turns to me.
  "You" she said, disgusted. "I should've known you'd betray us when I heard what you were."
  "Eterna please, they've done nothing wrong to you or the village just leave them alone!" I pleaded.
  "Ha! Gay, a witch, and a liar."
  I saw her reach for her gun. I quickly look around for anything to defend myself with. Nothing. Nothing except a sculpting knife.
  I pick it up. She laughed.
  "Really? A small, dull knife? You really are pathetic."
  She took her gun out. I gasp and close my eyes, shaking.
  "Please, I am begging you! Just let them be!"
  She loaded her gun.
  "Please! Please! I-I love them!" I said.
  I see Fallacy at the door. He doesn't move once Eterna points the gun at me, afraid she'll shoot.
  She glared at me.
  "You fell in love with a enemy"
