How long had she been here? Here being the pirate ship known as the Lord of Evil, the very ship that had been attacking her Kingdom for Glob knows how long. The princess had had enough of the vampirates shenanigans, allowing herself to be captured in an attempt to reason with the rebellious crew. Her attempts had been in vain, the ship's captain ignoring any form of communication with the royal unless she was checking on her captive.
Marceline-commonly known as the Vampire Queen-was a flamboyant wreck of vulgar remarks, unheard of harshness, and lewd insults all wrapped up in the body of a permanently aged eighteen year old girl. She was the same height of the Princess, if not taller, with midnight black hair that cascaded to the small of her back.
Atop her head was the signature sign of her rank: a blood red hat with a feather stabbed through it, the article pushing her bangs in her face. Behind those bangs was a pair of obsidian eyes, the darkened orbs effectively silencing any protests that anyone would dare try to give her. Those black pools blended perfectly with the pirate's ashen colored skin that was partially covered by a shredded captain fashioned jacket. Tattered jeans covered the vampire's legs along with whatever straps she had attached to them.
The Princess discovered shortly after arriving that the captain wore no form of shoes what so ever. The vampirate merely floated wherever she pleased, always carrying her red battle axe designed guitar with her as she did. When she wasn't terrorizing a village or barking orders at her crew mates, she played the stringed instrument like a rock god.
Bubblegum sighed as she studied her surroundings once more, her eyes trying to find a form of escape from the brig she had been thrown in. She had done this numerous times already, each time having no positive results. It wouldn't take long before the Candy Kingdom would come looking for her. Marceline had anticipated the event long before the Princess did, commanding her crew to sail West towards the land of Nightosphere, and away from the Candy Kingdom as soon as Bubblegum was aboard her ship. The pink haired girl groaned, laying down on the makeshift bed the captain had been 'kind' enough to give her.
She squealed in pure terror as she came eye to eye with none other than the captain herself, the vampire floating aimlessly on the ceiling with an amused grin on her face. "About time, Princess." Marceline sneered, strumming her guitar all while never taking her eyes off the girl. "I was wondering when you'd notice me up here." Bubblegum glared before turning to face the wall, tearing her gaze away from the vampire with a huff. "I'd rather not notice you at all, thank you." she replied harshly, causing the captain to chuckle. "Oh, lighten up, Princess. The look on your face was priceless, and it's not my fault that you're completely oblivious-"
"Lighten up? You want me to lighten up?!"
The Princess turned back to the other, eyes ablaze with a sudden hatred. "You take me from my home, throw me in a cell, sail away from my throne, and you expect me to lighten up!?" The words were spat with hints of venom dripping from them, Marceline narrowing her eyes. "Listen, Gumdrop." she started, now hovering just a few inches away from the Princess with her axe pressed against her neck.
"YOU let yourself get captured. It's your own bittersweet fault that you're here, no one else's." The axe barely dug into Bubblegum's skin, forcing a whimper of discomfort from her throat. Marceline relented, pulling the musical weapon away from the other's throat with an irritated sigh. "You're a piece of work, you know that? Blaming others for your misfortune." The black haired girl smirked before floating up to the ceiling and quietly vanishing into the shadows, leaving a teary eyed Bubblegum alone in her prison.
