A Tale to Tell (FallenCre)

"She's probably a slut for the prince, since he always looooooves her acquaintance~ Besides, her paintings are never that 'great'!"

"Yeah... I know right!"

"Why does she keep going into the forests? Does she really want to be killed by vampires?"

"She keeps coming back here alive, guessing the vampires don't want her as much as we do, HAHA!"

The string of gossip continued as I just shrugged it off and walked towards my house, getting my key in my satchel until something hit my head.

It was a rotten tomato.

I looked over to see the few same villagers who 'despised' my entire being, I don't even know why they hate me... They just started doing that ever since I worked in the palace as a painter for the royal family. I realized that I have dropped my key, I sighed again as I tried to pick it up, but in surprise, the cloaked butler picked it up for me, his face now a bit clear for me to see.

He had silver hair, purple eyes and one of his eyes was a heart as well, he also wore glasses. A sympathetic smile curved his lips as he handed me my keys.

"T-thank you..." I said to him with a sad smile as the two of us heard laughter at the villagers who then decided to walk away to go inside their homes. "Do those people always treat you like this?" The person asked as I unlock my door nodding slowly at him.

"Yeah... I have no clue why though... It all started when I got my job as a painter in the royal palace..." I said in a sad tone as I opened my house door, shock then washed on me, noticing my whole downstairs a mess and a wreck. I rushed in to turn on my lights and saw my whole living area all scattered with paint and a few of my belongings being destroyed and broken. I sighed again as I placed my satchel and sketchbook on my table, taking a stool to sit down.

Distress and frustration were all I could feel at the moment, tears soon in the corner of my eyes as I quickly rubbed them, but quiet sobs already started to escape my mouth.

Footsteps were heard in my house as a hand with a tissue was in my view, I looked up to see the butler handing me the tissue. "I'll help you clean up miss..." he said still with his concerned smile, I accepted his tissue as I wiped off my tears and to sniffle. "Thank you so much mister..." I said again to him as he held out a hand for me to take, which I did.

The two of us then started to fix and cleanup my downstairs living area, taking up a whole hour and a half, thank goodness not all of my items were completely destroyed.

"CURFEW PEOPLE! LOCK UP ALL YOUR HOUSES NOW!" a familiar voice rang out in the village, it was Eterna, one of the village's well-known vampire hunters.

"I must now take my leave, Miss...?" The butler said as I smiled at him sweetly.

"Encre... And you are?"

"Suave... It was nice meeting you M'Lady Encre." He said as he took a bow at me, I giggled at him.

"Encre will just be fine, Suave, and... Thank you so much for today. You really helped me..." I said as I grabbed something in my pockets, it was few spare golds that I have earned the last week, I handed it out to him but he just shook his head, pushing my hands away from his.

"There's no need for that M'Lady Encre."

"Oh please Suave, I insist-"

"I guarantee you that it's not necessary M'Lady..."

"CLOSE UP NOW PEOPLE!!!" Eterna's voice became even louder by the second as Suave darted his head to my door.

"I must take my leave M'Lady, may we meet again someday!" He said as he pulled back his cloak to hide his face as he dashed out of house and fading into the darkness within, I sighed and smiled, he was the first person who have helped me.
