Tag, you're Deep Into the lie.

Edward's vampire speed was nowhere close to making him reach the end of the forest he wandered in, he was running in the body of a half-blood who's sick after all.

Earlier he was walking in an empty forest-highway when he got the feeling he was being followed, so he went into the Forest.

And as he began running, He kept hearing noises here and there, but couldn't pinpoint where exactly they were coming from.

It didn't help Edward that he kept running in circles within the woods, he just couldn't find his was out nor his way back from where he came from, and it was getting too dark for him.

Suddenly, when he realized he hasn't heard the noise that was following him for some few minutes now, Edward felt a bit safe and decided to stop to catch his breaths.

He leaned with his back on a tree, and took a deep breath but then suddenly, he heard something shake in the tree above him, so he looked-up.

Edward's heart nearly jumped off of his chest, when his eyes caught the sight of a white fluffy tail dangling off one of the tree's branches.

Faunus in his half human half cat form, waved at Edward with his cat claws drawn out, he was sitting on a large tree branch few feet above the vampire.

"Meow! Hello down there Edward! or should I call you 'Alice'! because up here on the branch, I am feeling like Cheshire cat...Hmm, Should I try mimicking his evil smile?" Faunus asked giggling.

Feeling frozen from fear, Edward didn't respond immediately, "Cat got your tongue Edward? Oh! cat puns!" Faunus spoke again.

"I was right...I was being followed ." Edward mumbled Shaking.

"Miss me much?" Faunus asked, "I am here because Mother has asked me to take care of you." He added.

Terrified, "I looked behind me several times...I didn't see you there..." Edward asked.

"Because I was climbing trees, I was above you the whole time.

I found it fun to catch-up to you this way, I mean Despite being a house cat, I just love climbing trees! most of boys love climbing them, even the Omega boys." Faunus replied.

"Does Jasper know what you're capable of?!" Edward asked, "You mean my cat form?" Faunus replied confused.

"I'm talking about Your sadistic side, The gun strapped to your thigh...The rings you use to tie people up...How much you enjoy causing pain.

Would Jasper be happy knowing you're having fun Hunting me? the Jasper I know doesn't enjoy violence even against his own enemies!...do you think he'll accept his mate coming back covered in someone's else's blood?" Edward said nervously.

Purring as he dangling his feet off the branch, "Edward dear, you do not know Jasper the way I do...besides I am not hunting, just chasing you!

If I was Hunting you, you would have died already." Faunus replied.

Scoffing, "Exactly...I'm wondering if it's because I'm in Grey's body, is that why I'm still alive?

You could've caught me and killed me already but instead you've chased me for hours! And Why you don't look half as tired as I am? You were climbing with heels!" Edward questioned.

"Can you blame me? I cannot live without my heels! I did not choose the glamor life! it chose me." Faunus said giggling, "And frankly speaking darling, Why would I get tired when you are stuck in the body of your own sick brother.

You are sweating and panting After few minutes of running like a human would." He added narrowing his eyes.

Swallowing, "What do you want from me? let me go, let's just forget about this and I promise I won't go near Jasper again!

I only did what I did because I was given an opportunity to have Jasper back, but I should've known I can't get rid of you.

I know a killer when I see one...I ran after attacking Mallory while she was driving me home, she told me about the purifying ritual, she tried to reassure me about your condition and said you survived the possession.

But I wasn't reassured, I figured it'll be only a matter of time before people realize I'm an imposter, and you'll be coming after me for revenge.

I knew that if I'm ever caught, you'll make me switch bodies with Grey and then kill me." Edward said.

Frowning, "You do not care about Jasper after all! You said you would kill for him! but I am the only one who is truly willing to do that!" Faunus said with disgust in his voice.

"You can't kill me, Not if I make a deal with you." Edward replied.

Jumping off the tree branch, Faunus dusted himself up and walked while Edward started backing away slowly.

"You really should have stayed away when the Valentinos gave you the chance to run free...but no, you chose to come back.

You switched bodies with your own brother, Tricked the whole family and tried to kill me!

Went and lied to Jasper's face about how I asked you to curse me, these are enough of reasons for me to kill you!

Yet...There is one thing you did Edward that got me and Mother so curious! and it is the reason why I am keeping you alive so far." Faunus said while looking Edward in the eyes.

Swallowing again, "What did I do?" Edward Asked.

"You told Garrick and Matilda that they are werewolves that belong to the Style family, Explain it." Faunus Said.

"I learned about the missing children... Henrietta's I mean." Edward replied.

"You think Matilda and Garrick are Henrietta's missing children?" Faunus asked.

"Think? I believe it!" Edward replied.

"I do not understand." Faunus said.

"Or maybe you can't remember? You were a kid but old enough to remember something back then, yet you can't remember anything, can you?" Edward asked smirking as he felt a bit empowered in the moment.

"So you know about my amnesia? if you know, then you are aware I cannot remember anything before the fire because...I was traumatized badly...My adoptive parents died that day.

I was told about the fire and the Missing children as I grew-up, but I cannot remember them or how they looked like...And Henrietta banned anyone from talking about the subject either way." Faunus said.

"I'm sure Garrick and Matilda are two out of the three children." Edward replied, "Let's make a deal then, I'll explain everything I Know to you, and You and Ned are going to let me go...I promise I'll disappeared for good this time if you make the deal with me." He added.

"Hypothetically speaking, if you gave me an information that I find useful, then yes! there is a high probability...I would agree to your deal.

But what about Getting your body back? I am not against you running off with Grey's body.

Grey being in your body, might be the best cure he can ever get for his condition...but unfortunately Grey might not want to stay in the body of a serial killer." Faunus replied.

"I'll give him his body back..I just want to get away from you...I know you'll do something to me if I don't." Edward said.

"I admit you have reasons to be afraid of me, While i am chasing you now without the intention to kill.

That does not mean, I have no intentions to harm you...you see the bracelet around my wrist?" Faunus said Showing his wrist, "I borrowed this from Mother! he said that this bracelet can heal wounds quickly, as long as the person wearing it is not dead.

I can use my own magic to heal you but it would take-up all my mana, and this little bracelet got me thinking I should test it on you...see if I could cut you open, then heal you so I can cut you Again." he added.

With a chill running down his spine, "You sure are comfortable torturing me while being in Grey's body...You don't have to think about that anymore, I'm being cooperative." Edward said.

Scoffing, "Of course you are! I have the upper hand here!" Faunus replied.

Feeling a bit brave, "Say, You and I are not so different Are we Fau? Think about it, we hurt people, We make them feel pain And enjoy it, that's something I respect." Edward said as he stopped backing away.

"You sound brave all of the sudden, but You are still shaking like a leaf.

Also, we are not the same...you hurt innocent people, I give guilty people like yourself hell." Faunus replied.

"Really Fau, we fell for the same guy."

"I fell for Jasper, you lusted after him Edward...when he was a teenager nonetheless.

You do not get to compare my feelings for Jasper with yours."

"Funny, Jasper's so different from your usual type."

"Are you surprised? Never heard of Opposite attracts?"

"Speaking of surprises, I'll deliver you one!

I'll tell you a useful information to honor our New deal." Edward said.

"I never said I agreed with you on the deal?" Faunus replied.

"You're about to do so, especially after you become aware, that Lucius is the third missing kid, Henrietta's youngest." Edward said with a big smile.

...Meanwhile...

"Jasper is napping...in your workshop." Tacito replied to Yuri, "Just what the hell is wrong with the Valentinos?! You should've heard how he was laughing earlier! it gave me literal chills!" Yurei spoke-up.

"Could you two explain to me, why would Jasper suddenly behave like that?" Yuri asked.

"We may or...may not have...told him things...he shouldn't have...known." Tacito said, "Taci! don't tell them!" Yurei scolded him.

"Tell me what? what have you two done? Answer me or there'll be consequences." Yuri said, "Ugh...Fine! we only told Jasper, because we know how unfair it is to keep shit hidden from people that should be aware of it." Yurei replied.

"We...told him about...Edward being the... imposter...but Jasper already...had him in...mind." Tacito added.

Sighing, "You two have greatly disappointed me, now I have to tell Ned." Yuri said.

Bursting into anger, "I disappointed you?! You hid the fact of being my parent for years, just because we are now talking, doesn't mean that I have fully forgiven you yet!" Yurei said.

"I don't care what you think of me At the moment Yurei...Ned has entrusted me to keep Jasper safe and in Ned's book, safety is being oblivious to the disaster that's going around you.

Yet you two went ahead and told him about Edward!" Yuri replied.

"At least Jasper...didn't do anything...he's still here...so he's safe." Tacito said trying to calm them down.

"That's right, and until I make another visit, keep an eye on Jasper and under no circumstances you let him leave this place.

is that understood Tacito? Don't disappoint me again." Yuri said firmly, "Yes." Tacito replied.

"You don't get to talk to him like that! I made the decision of telling Jasper the truth!" Yurei said.

"It's okay love...i supported your...decision so I'm...equally to blame." Tacito replied, "Besides...I signed the...witch contract myself.

My life until...I quit this...place... belongs to two...people...you and Yuri." he added.

"That's right, you may not be my employee Yurei but Tacito is." Yuri spoke-up, "Is there anything...else you want?" Tacito asked Yuri.

"Just keep Jasper under your watch." Yuri replied.

"I can't believe you're favoritizing the Valentinos again!...Ned and his kids, they get whatever they want and they get away with it." Yurei said.

"Tacito, didn't I tell you to talk to Yurei about his jealousy problem?" Yuri asked, "UGH! SCREW YOU! YOU FUCKING MORON!" Yurei screamed.

"EXCUSE ME?!" Yuri replied.

Suddenly, "THAT'S ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU SHUT-UP!" Tacito screamed.
