AN: So my first big chapter story :D It's a big deal to me and I hope you guys like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure time. I do, however own Nicholas (I made him for you guys ;D)
I spun in the field; the crisp might air chilling my exposed skin. I can't believe I used to be scared of the dark. Dew sprayed under my feet as I practiced my sword, the blade slicing through the air. 'Hi-yah!' I panted heavily. I'd been out here training for about an hour now. I wiped my brow of sweat. 'I think that's enough for tonight,' I breathed. A spotted a figure from the corner of my eye. I spun and held my sword up defensively. 'Who's there?' I called. I saw it again moving into the forest. I bolted towards them, the rough brush scratching me as I darted behind the person. They turned their head back and attempted to serpentine me away. It failed. I was gaining on them fast and I waited for the right moment.
I leapt forward and tackled whoever it was. We rolled forwards into a clearing and I pinned them down. They struggled against me in the dark. 'Who are you?' I demanded. The moon appeared from behind a cloud, revealing the person to be an attractive male. He stared up at me coolly. 'You tackled me,' He smirked. 'You were watching me,' I said slightly taken aback. I expected this guy to look like a creep but he looked no older than me with neck length brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. I gasped as I noticed a pointed fang poking out of his mouth. 'Y-you're a vampire?' I said. 'Beautiful and smart,' I blushed lightly but shook my head. I was not going to be seduced by a random stranger, let alone one that could suck my blood at any moment. 'What kind of vampire are you?' 'A drop dead gorgeous one honey,' He winked at me and I felt my cheeks grow warm. 'No I mean do you drink blood?' 'Nope. I've been blood free since the Mushroom War.' He blew his hair from his eyes. 'Well what do you eat?' 'The colour blue.' He eyed my outfit hungrily, though I'm not entirely sure if the colour was all he had eyes for. 'Wait, the Mushroom War? Do you know Marshall-Lee?' I asked. He deadpanned. 'He's my cousin. Why is he here?' He looked around frantically. 'No he's not here right now but he's in Aaa. I can take you to him if you want.''No I'd rather not let him know I'm here.'
He smirked, a playful look on his face. 'Besides, I'd rather spend time with this beautiful bunny.' He tried to lift his arm but I kept it pinned down. 'What's your name?' I said. 'I, my dear bunny, am named Nicholas.' He flashed a winning smile at me. 'But you may call me what you wish.' He looked at me expectantly. 'I'm Fionna and you may call me that,' I said. 'Fionna,' He said softly. 'A delight to my ears. Almost as delightful as you are on my eyes.' My cheeks felt like they were on fire now. 'Most people who pin me down like this buy me a drink.' He wiggled his eyebrows at me. I stepped off him carefully, wary of the skirt I was wearing and held my hand out to him. He grasped it softly in his cool hands and let me pull him up. He dusted himself down. I noticed he was wearing a similar outfit to Marshall's but with blue checks instead of red ones on his shirt. 'So what are you doing here?' I said. He floated up and held his hands out dramatically. 'There I was, trapped in the Nighto-Sphere. Boring, dull, pointless life. I needed to be free! Free from the depressing life I lived. I escaped.' He landed in front of me, his body inches from mine. 'Then I came to Aaa and met the beautiful fruit of this land.' He lifted his hand and cupped my chin. I felt my heartbeat quicken as his breath whispered across my cheeks. It smelt minty with a subtle sweet undertone. He caught my lips with his own in a soft kiss. His lips were cool and incredibly soft. He put his hand behind my head, pulling me closer. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, my skin tingling under his touch. He pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. 'I wanna show you something. You willing to let me take you somewhere?' I hesitated. Was I going to go somewhere with a complete stranger? Apparently I was. I nodded and he smiled.
I gasped as the world shifted around us and we appeared at a beautiful lake. Large crystals that shimmered in the moonlight poked from the surface. 'It's beautiful,' I breathed. 'Not as beautiful as you.' I blushed and stepped away from him. 'Why did you bring me here?' I said. 'I wanted to show you my favourite place in Aaa. Though it's much more beautiful with you around.' 'Why me?' 'What do you mean?' He said. 'I mean are you some kind of crazy killer guy? Why bring me here?' He smiled. 'If looks could kill, maybe.' 'Then why bring me here?' He shrugged. 'I don't know. You made me curious.' I stared at him in disbelief. 'Curious?' He nodded. 'It's not all people that chase me down and tackle me in the middle of a forest. Especially when it's dark.' I blushed. 'Oh yeah, sorry about that.' I said. 'I would've done the same. Besides, I liked it.' He pulled me in close and wriggled his eyebrows at me. My cheeks felt like they were on fire. 'Fionna?' Nicholas flicked his head around and squeezed me tightly. I peeked over his shoulder as Marshall approached. 'Fionna get away from him!' Marshall yelled, his eyes flashing red. 'Why?' I said. Nicholas smiled down at me. 'Yeah Marshall, why should she.' He tightened his grip on me. 'Nicholas let her go or I swear I'll burn you alive!' Marshall growled. 'And risk hurting Fionna? My you're not much of a gentleman are you cuz?' He spun me so my back was to Marshall. I glanced over my shoulder at him. 'Fionna he's evil! Run!' Marshall yelled. 'Evil? No I'm just too good a competition for you.' Nicholas held his hand to cheek and looked down at me. 'He's just jealous,' He whispered. I pushed away from him and he let me go. 'Are you evil?' I asked. 'Yes he is!' Marshall yelled. 'I wanna hear it from him!' I yelled. Nicholas knelt down on one knee and grabbed my hand. 'I swear on my life, I royal promise, I cross my undead heart and hope to die I promise you I'm not evil. Just evilly handsome.' He winked at me and I felt my cheeks warm again. 'I believe you,' I said. He smiled at me warmly. 'Fionna you—'
He cut off as Marshall tackled him to the ground. 'Leave her alone!' Marshall yelled and punched him in the cheek. I screamed and pulled at Marshall's shirt. 'Marshall!' I yelled. 'That the best you got cuz?' Nicholas smirked and flipped them around. 'My turn,' He drew his fist back but I grabbed it. He looked at me and his expression softened. 'Fionna…' He said. Marshall writhed underneath him. I let his fist go and he lowered it. 'What is going on?' I demanded. Nicholas sighed and lowered his head. 'May as well tell her, huh Marshall?' Marshall stared up at me, guilt plaguing his face. 'I… We… We both need children to keep the right to our thrones.' I stepped back from them. 'Wait so you've only been flirting with me to tier fifteen it up?' I said. My face scrunched in disgust. 'No Fi it's not like that…' 'Well that's what it sounds like Marshall!' I yelled, tears stabbing at my eyes. 'Fionna—' 'Do you even think how that would make me feel?' I yelled. 'Fionna it's not just that…' 'What else could it be? Apparently I'm just a piece of meat capable of giving you babies.' My hands balled into fists at my sides. 'No Fi, it's not like that. I… I love you. Glob I loved you since the moment I met you! At first it was a love for a little sister but then you turned into… You.' Marshall smiled hopefully at me. 'Fionna, when you tackled me to the ground it was love at first sight. I may not know you very well but I just felt an instant connection and I know you felt it too. I apologise for our… lack of decency about this. I would rather lose my throne and know you are happy than have it and know you aren't.' Nicholas got off Marshall and helped him up. 'Sorry it got so out of hand.' Marshall said. They both watched me, Marshall's dark sensitive eyes along with Nicholas' bright flirty ones. I held my hand up to my head as the world started to spin. 'Fionna?' They said. 'I feel a bit dizzy…' The last thing I remember was cool arms catching me. I'm not sure who they belonged to.
AN: So guys, you like? In BMO's words I think Nicholas is 'red hot like pizza supper' :D If you're into that sort of guy :P I'm a sucker for romance. The story picks up after this but I hope it was a good start. Next chapter away!
