Taming the king

Chapter 5

Fionna pov

I was running from Marshall. It was kind of hard to keep ahead of him though cause he was cheating and flying. I dashed into a near by forest and hid in a bush. I was a bit out of breath and I hoped I could hide for a minute or two.
I stilled my breathing when I saw him walk by so you couldn't hear me.
He walked by the bush and it looked like he hadn't noticed me. I was about to let out a sigh of relief when I was pulled out of the bush.
"Aww I thought you hadn't noticed me."
"I did. I couldn't see you but I knew you were there."
"How."
"I wasn't lying when I said your blood smelled sweet. And I could smell it." He said then grabbed my hand.
I saw a small cut on it and some blood ran down from it. When did I get that I wondered. I don't think there were any thorns in that bush.
He brought it to his lips and licked away the blood. He took out a bandage then and wrapped it. I couldn't help but blush a bit when he licked my hand.
"It tastes as sweet as it smells." He said quietly
It sounded like he was saying that more to himself than me.
"Um....thanks."
He let go of my hand and started walking a bit. I unconsciously followed him. He was different from most people I met and I found that interesting.
We sat on the ground under the trees.
"You know. You seem to know a lot about me but I don't know much about you at all."
"I wouldn't say I know a lot about you. Just certain things.'
"Ok. Im curious though you say your the vampire king but how did you become it."
"That's kind of a long story."
"I'm listening."
"Well it was when I was younger. I was just the demon prince then."
I gave him a slightly confused look.
"My mom the ruler of the nightosphere remember."
"Oh."
"A lot of the demons in the nightosphere used to make fun of me for being half human."
I must of looked slightly confused because he said then.
"I will explain that later"
"I got fed up with their teasing and wanted to prove I was just as strong as they were. They had told me about how know one had beaten the vampire king. Hey was a very cruel king that took joy from others misery. And that if I could beat him it would prove that I was tough."
" I snuck into the castle at night. I had hoped to catch him off guard. That didn't exactly work that well and after a look and hard fight. I had won but at a price he had managed to bite me before he died. Convinced that turning me into a vampire would make my mom think of me as a lowly creature and disown me.'
"Why she think of you badly for being a vampire." I asked.
"We were at war with the vampire kingdom in the nightosphere then."
"What happened next?" I asked.
"I became the new vampire king and by killing their leader it ended the war between the demons and vampires."

Marshall's pov

I had just finished telling her my story when I noticed she yawned. I over and noticed her head was leaning on my shoulder.
I had noticed it had gotten dark while we were talking. but it hadn't felt like we were talking for that long.
"So what exactly are you then?" she asked.
"I was half human half demon but now I'm half demon half vampire."
"Was your dad a human."
"Yeah."
"My parents were human. Or at least I pretty sure they were. I never got to meet them. I was raised by Cats with magic stretchy powers."
We talked for a few more minutes and I noticed she fell silent.I looked over and saw she had fallen asleep her head resting on my shoulder. I smiled it kind of reminded me of when she was little. I couldn't stop myself from going to stroke her hair.
I don't know why I did it. But their was something different about her from most of the girls I had meet before.
