Chapter 2: No Sleep

morning had pass and i had to wear my bloody red royal military looking uniform, i honestly hate wearing this thing, but mother tells me i have to wear it. i had left my room to go to the living room to play my axe guitar,I choose to play there cuz there was more echo, i saw fionna sitting on a plain wood chair looking at the big window. didn't humans sleep during the night?, shouldn't she be sleeping right now? she looked the same as i saw her yesterday...

"hey you" i called her, she turned to show me her beautiful face.." shouldn't you be sleeping?"i asked her. she didnt say anything for a long while

"please my king...don't worry for my needs, I'm more worried about your needs" she said standing up and bowed

"you're coming with me!" i yelled yanking her hand to the main room of my kingdom, "mother!!" i called

"what do you want you!!?" mother yelled back in reply . she soon came out from the shadows

"what is wrong with her?!" i asked as i pointed at fionna, she gave no reaction

"what do you mean? don't tell me you feel bad for her"

"answer my question!!" i demanded angry

"after she lost the fight, i had to erase her memory of her friends and family so she wont try to escape the nighto'sphere! she is a stubborn one! i told her if she refuses to come, i had her family and friends in my plate!" she laughed

"unbelievable! how-? why-? that's unforgivable! " i stated

"grow up Marshall! you're the ruler of the nighto'sphere! you can't feel bad for a girl like this!" she finished and disappeared back into the shadows. i let go of fionnas hand, i looked at her, she was giving me a confused but concerned look on her face..i was getting too curious about this girls life, so we went to the kingdoms magic room, where i called out to the great mirror

"mirror! mirror on the wall!" i called

"ahh, Marshall lee, you have come for some answers i assume?" the mirror replies

"tell me about this girl!" i demanded pointing at fionna

"She's the warrior princess of the land of aaa" it said

"princess? warrior?" that explained how she was able to kill the millions of demons

"yes, shes a well gifted fighter it came natural to her, but her blood is not royal."

"how is she-"

"i have a limit of questions, only 2 per decade, good day your majesty !" mirror shut me up. i have forgotten that it only took 2 questions every 100 years, if I remembered I would have asked better questions.. damn that bugged the crap out of me
I looked at fionna..the warrior princess huh? She looked confused about what she heard about herself, i wanted to see how great of a warrior she was, she had the princess look down , beautiful and graceful but i had to test her fighting skills. i knew i would have fun with this.

i took fionna outside the kingdom and gave her a gold sword. she observed it so confusedly. i had my guitar axe and was ready to fight "we are going to fight! ready?" i told her, she looked puzzled skittle scared even, "i gotta see what your made of!" i smirked running up to her holding up my axe to fight her, from a distance, i saw her smiling ,smirk actually, it looked like she knew what to do. i was about to axe her , well i wasn't going to really do it, i was going to purposely miss.

when suddenly she jumped out of the way in a snap! i found her behind me . I turned around and flew higher from her. she jumped up next to me! she can jump! she threw the sword at me, I barely dodged it. she landed back on the ground and ran for the sword.

"Where you going little girl?" I laughed evilly.she didn't look back and grabbed the sword then finally turned around looking at me with smirk. I flew fast closer to her and swang the axe at her, I was lucky she ducked. that wouldn't be pretty. she kicked me landing me on the ground. before I could get up, she stomped her foot on my chest and pointed her sword at my heart...

i closed my eyes thinking she was actually going to do it..it felt the sword between my arm and body, she wasn't going to do it!..she faked it! that little trickster. i looked up at her, she had a brave look with smirk on her face,i was really impressed by her natural skills, it was really..hot and kinda scary.. I think she scar me for life.. and I lived for over 1000 years !

"so wanna go out for a walk? " i asked as I held out my hand. she took it and helped me up, her hand was warm..Marshall ! what's going on with you!?

"whatever you want sir" she said bowing..damn she went back to her old emotionless self..sigh.. we started walking through the nighto'sphere. some male demons were trying to get her attention but really they were trying to suck her blood. fionna ignored them while I glared at them. Most of them backed off scared of me. of course, I'm the vampire king and the son of a demon.

"So fi, why did you choose to be loyal to me , why aren't you mean and hate me?" I asked

"I'm a woman of my word, at least from I can remember..I didn't know who I was going to serve but I'm glad it was you.."she said still looking forward. I was surprise she actually said that..

"Hey fi.." I told her making her stop walking.. I put my hands on her shoulders. her eyes opened up alittle.. I leaned closer to her face, I didn't know what I was doing but I liked it. before I could reach fis face, I heard laughter.

there were 3 pranksters trying to mess with us ...I'm so going to kill them..literally. they knocked over a big rock on fire trying to block our path almost hitting fi. in a snap, fionna started to crying like crazy .she was panicking everywhere! i tried to calm her down but there was no use.. I glanced at the fire rock.. the fire? it was scaring her? i rolled the rock over to let the fire out. fionna finally calmed down looking away

"hey, its ok the fires out" i told her. she was still looking away

"look at me" i ordered. she turned and i saw her trying to hold in her tears. some real emotion..wow..I looked up at the pranksters from before laughing "fi, close your eyes" she did as I said and I flew towards the 3 demons

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We only meant it as a joke" one the the demons cried

"Please don't kill us!" the other two cried.

I didn't care about their words, I'll never forgive someone that almost killed fi with a big bolder. I transform into a bat and reached for them. they ran like mice. I didn't feel like chasing them

"come on, lets go to my room and jam out." i said comforting her

"yes sir.." she said taking a deep breath

we reached my room. i sat on my bed with my axe guitar in my arms while fionna stood standing leaving the sword next to the door .i started to play a song, it wasn't long before i heard fionna sing

"I've seen the light in the sky

In the skies are like fireflies

Burning bright

Just to vanish in the dark

I've held hope in my two hands

That there would be another chance

To find the kingdom, I'm believing in my heart

Cause underneath the good

There's something greater than you know

When you're almost there

And you're almost home

Just open up your eyes and go, go

When you're almost there, almost home

Know you're not alone

You're almost home, home

When you run, run so far

You've forgotten who you are

Where you're from, it's like some other universe

You count your steps, like they're regrets

You catch one breath then lose the rest

Wrong is right, right is left

And there's nowhere left to turn

So don't believe in everything

You think, you think you know

When you're almost there

And you're almost home

Just open up your eyes and go, go

When you're almost there, almost home

Know you're not alone

You're almost home, home

When you let your heart be the compass

(It will always lead you home)

You won't get lost, not if you trust it

(It will always lead you home)

When you hear the sound of the trumpet

Louder than ever before.."

her voice was beautiful and alittle touching.. i stopped the music, she gave no reactions

"fionna, what did you miss in aaa?" i asked

"i don't know ..your highness.."she said. how could she sing incrediable song about it and not know? i sighed

"should you get some sleep?" i asked looking away

"..no sir.."

"well, do you want to eat ?" i interrupted her

"...i do" her eyes looking up at me like a needy puppy

"when was the last time you ate?"

"two weeks"

"why?!" i snapped

"our fight lasted us 2 weeks" i finally understood why my mother had me waiting for 2 weeks, she was with fionna

"comon, let's go to the kitchen" i told her as i gave her a piggy back ride. she hanged on pretty tight, making me chuckle alittle

"here" i said putting her down and gave her a bowl full of bright red apples. soon her eyes light up and took the apples, she ate them like a pig. it was the funniest thing i ever seen, i laughed loud and hard . the first time i laughed in forever. fionna finished and stared at me with again...emotionless eyes. well that didn't last long.

"shouldn't you sleep now?

"no sir..its my job to do my duties if you wake up in the middle of the morning"

"well your job sucks! i don't want you to be my servant! your so ...emotionless but yet.. so sad when you sing.."i snapped. she didn't say anything..as usual. i took the whole night playing my guitar and fionna just stood and listened with her eyes closed, it was becoming morning

" i shall prepare you for bed sir..?" She asked as she walked to find my pjs in my night stand

"whatever.." i couldn't stand it anymore, she was getting pretty annoying, i don't even need a servant , in fact i don't even want to be in the nighto'sphere!

fionna finished her duties on my bed time and left the room. several hours later, i went to go find her and see what her deal was. she was on the same spot on the chair, still looking out the same window. i walked up to her

"hey" i called

"sir..its still morning, shouldn't you be-"

"save it! i want you to tell me why you won't sleep! tell me now and that's an order!" i snapped not realizing that interrupted her. she looked at me with her..beautiful blue eyes again... they were almost drawing me in..

"yes sir.." she said standing up and facing me " i don't sleep"

"that's absurd, everyone sleeps , including demons!" i pointed out "how long have not been sleeping?"

"...i was 9 years old.." she sighed

"how old are you now?" i asked looking at her body to see that she wasn't that little

"I'm 16 sir.."

"7 years without sleep??! but how!? why!? how are you still living, beautiful and full of energy without sleep?!" she began to talk "nope! i order you to sleep right now! come into my room and sleep on the other side of my king size bed" i demanded. she didn't say anything and bowed to me

we went to my room and i told fionna to sleep, i tossed her one of my PJ's. she changed in front of me, making me feel hotter then i ever felt in my life, changing her cloths made her exposed many bruises and cuts around her body, probably from the battle she had with mother .. and she finally layed down on my bed and closed her eyes, within a second, she was asleep..finally, maybe she'll show more emotion when she wake up...why am i getting so concerned about a human?
