He dove down and I never expected to see what came next. . .

Fangs appeared from his open mouth as they impaled what seems to be the monster's throat. The body started to cringe and get extremely thinner until it seemed like a frail piece of paper. The boy simply smirked and flew up to the thing's face before blowing on what used to be a demon. It flew away in bits and pieces as if it were only ash floating away from a fire. This kid was the fire.

After it completely disappeared, I stared at the person in front of me. His body was kind of slack and his bangs shadowed his face away from the light. Even though most of him was dark, his ruby red eyes glowed purely bright. My body was shaking in fear and confusion. The boy finally noticed me and his face returned to the horrified look that he had before. He dropped to the ground with a loud *THUD* along with trying to crawl away. I chased after him and was able to grab at least his ankle.

He looked back at me in terror and shouted, "GET OFF!!!!" before kicking me in the face causing me to stagger back and land on my rump. That's when a cat sprang out and wrapped around the kid so that he couldn't move. Fiona appeared as well and aimed her toy wooden stick towards his neck.

"Wait!!" I shouted. All three of them looked at me but didn't bother to release him. I continued, "He is scared so he had to defend himself. It's like us." The boy seemed surprised of my words and so was I.

"Why? Shouldn't you be afraid of me?" the boy asked. I walked up to him; signaling Fiona and Cake to back off. I reached a hand out towards him and replied, "Why should I be scared?" he looked hesitant to decide whether or not to take my offer or not. He was about to reach my hand but a wooden stick stuck itself right in between.

Fiona spoke, "Hold it. The guy that we distracted said something about returning to the Nightosphere. What would two monsters possibly have to do with a kid like you???" The same thought now prospered in my mind. 'Why would they chase him?'

This time head straight forward, "It's because. . . *SIGH* I'm the Prince of the Nightosphere. Marshall Lee, the soon to be vampire king."

We all looked at him in horror and disbelief. 'He is the prince of the demon world. One of the immortal elites. The enemy. The one that can help me to create a land of the better!' His eyes looked hurt from our stares. Looking down towards his feet he said, "I understand if you want to kill me. It would make things a whole lot easier."

Fiona pointed her sword at him and was about to strike but I stopped her. 'Why? What am I doing?'

"Gumball what are you doing?! He is a threat to the Candy Kingdom. A threat to the living! We have to kill him! If we don't then he might just kill us." I struggled to pull my arm back, but it just shot right out again. 'Why?' I continued to think. 'How can you help such a demon?'

I shook my head and remembered about my dream for peace before pushing down her sword. I walked up to the boy and clasped his hand in mines. He looked at me with shaky wide eyes. 'I knew it, he's scared.' I thought.
