The Hidden Ruler(adventure time fanfic)

Chapter Nine: Scales

"What was the question?" I ask FP as I fed Midnight a slice of chicken.

"Where were you and what's that thing?!" She points to Midnight as if it were some foreign object.

"It's my new pet I guess? I ran into some trouble and had to summon him, he didn't really go away so I guess I'm keeping him, his name's Midnight or she. How do you check again?" I laugh awkwardly.

"You'd normally lift them up and look for their private parts....... We're going off topic damn it Drake!!" She laughed. "Wait what trouble?" She began to ask questions again bringing us back to the subject.

"Some girl just tried to kidnap me and sell me off to some guy. You know the usual, no biggie." I laugh and wipe my mouth with my shirt.

"That's normal to you...?" She asked giving me a concerned look.

"Well I mean I am part of an exiled race that hardly anyone knows about, why wouldn't it be?" I smile feeding Midnight another slice of chicken as he gobbles it down. A voice begins to hiss inside my ear.

"I'm a girl if you didn't know." The voice sounded a little sinister.

"Who are you...?" I said concerned standing up and looking around.

"Drake are you okay?" Flamey slowly stood up glancing at me.

"Don't draw attention to me. You're the only one who can hear me summoner. Our minds are now connected, I can hear all your thoughts." Midnight hissed a little more.

"Well you just picked the best time to tell me you could speak huh? Better late than never I guess..?" I think to Midnight.

"You better tell 'Flamey' that you're doing okay so she'll calm down." Midnight hisses.

"Yeah I'm fine, sorry Flamey I was just hearing things." I sweat a little and sit back down.

"You sure you're okay Drake..? You seemed a little too scared for you to be instantly fine a moment after."

"Yeah I'm sure Flamey, my head still hurts a little that's probably it." I massage my head hoping Flamey would give into my terrible acting.

"Oh does it really now? You can spend the night if you have to. I mean I don't want to force you to walk home with a head ace that's so bad it's making you hear voices." Flamey said as she started cleaning up the couch we were sitting on.

At this point I really couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or if she was really being sincere with me staying the night. I mean I have no idea how to react or what to say because I honestly can't even tell if she means it or not. Plus me staying the night after we just met seems a little too much. I could always just have Nicholas pick me up or maybe create a shadow portal to my room. Sure I'm a little drained ,but not drained to the point where I can't even make a simple portal.

"I'm not sure Flamey, are you sure you're fine with me staying over? I mean we just met and all...." I say sorta shying away from the idea of my intrusion.

"Ya I'm positive, it's fine Drake, plus I haven't had company in awhile and I'm really enjoying yours." Flamey blushed a little as she finished cleaning up the couch and grabbed a blanket and pillows from her room.

"Awe it looks like someone likes you Drake. That's cute ,but you know you can never have true love. It'd block you from inheriting the Underworld and we both know how badly you want to go home. Isn't that right Drake?" Midnight whispered in my ear.

I couldn't help but think about why I did this in the first place. I mean I could've simply just let Blake capture me and this could've all been over. Now however I'm devolving feelings for yet another girl and this little shit just has to keep whispering in my ear. I keep getting a bad feeling that something is going to happen at any minute ,but I can't quite place my finger on what exactly.
