The Beauty and a Beast
"Come on father, can't I go out just for a little while?" asked the young princess. Her hair was long curl and very pink. At the time the girl was seven and very adventurous and curious as to what was out in the world beyond the pretzel gate. She had never been allowed outside because of the fear of the vampires. The night crawlers as some of the candy people called. Her father huffed and rubbed his light pink beard. "Bonnibel why would you of all people want to venture out on your own? It's very dangerous you know and many who travel to the woods of our lands don't return." The young princess pouted slightly. She had on her glasses and lab coat and held a book in her hands. It was research about the outside world that many didn't know about. But this young princess wanted to see past the gates and in the woods. She agreed with her father for now though and returned back to her lab. "I'll just sneak out tonight…. No one will notice and I won't be long. I'll only stay a few minutes maybe an hour at most."
The young monarch waited till nightfall before she grabbed her backpack and went out to the balcony of her room. It was a good ways up from the ground, but she had the brains to figure this out. She didn't look skilled in being athletic, but she could climb down a rope easily. She slowly crept down the rope careful not to make any noises to alert the banana guards. Finally getting to the ground and landed swiftly and slowly jogged away from the kingdom through a back gate she knew of. No guards around, she was free to do as she wished now. She ventured off towards the forest of Ooo.
With a twirl the young monarch spun her axe bass. It was a cherry red, much like the things she ate. Her long black hair snaked down her back and around her waist. Her eyes seemed to be deep and endless. She wasn't a small child; instead she looked like she was in her teens. Her clothes, simple but elegant, Her shirt was a button up red tunic like material, while her pants were simple black denim with her leather boots tied all the way up them. Her crimson eyes scanned the area as she practiced her melee works. She was alone, or so a human would think so. She hissed lowly, her white fangs in few now as her pointed ears twitched at the sounds throughout the forest of Ooo. She places her axe on her back and began to float now, slowly drifting through the forest to find the intruder. She saw now, a small child with pink hair walking past a few apple trees. She was examining everything carefully. On her waist was a small dagger, in case something would happen to her while out venturing. The other monarch watched carefully. She was a "blood sucking monster" to those she met, but she hadn't hurt a single living creature in a few centuries. Curiosity was creeping up her back as she began to float slowly in the shadows towards the younger girl. She was intrigued at how brave she was to be alone in the forest of Ooo. "Strange… most of their kind wouldn't even have the thought of venturing into these lands…Though I am the Vampire Queen… I won't cause her harm, but rather watch…" She smirked slightly "And have some fun at the same time~"
The vampire goes to a tree limb and sits carefully, trying not to make any noise to scare the child away just yet. Bonnibel now began to get samples from the trees and plants that were around her. She thought wise not to venture too far away from the exit of the forest. The guards never came here, so she was safe to do as she pleased if she returned before dawn. The pink girl sat down now and looked at her samples, the vampire right above her. She chuckled softly then hissed lowly to catch the girl's attention. Bonnibel looked up quick and blinked slightly not seeing anything. "Hello? Um… Anyone there?" She stood up slowly now and grabbed ahold of the dagger. She wasn't skilled with a sword, but she could swing it if need be. The vampire hissed again louder this time before landing behind the girl gracefully on the mossy area. She walked up behind her and placed her mouth near the younger girl's ear. "Well… Looks like we have a little rebel on our hands, don't we?" The younger monarch turned around quickly and sent the blade flying at the Queen, but it was stopped as the queen grabbed Bonnibel's wrist with a smirk. "Too slow little girl, but nice try. No need to get feisty on me just yet, we've just met, but no worries, I cause no harm to the living."
The younger monarch was shocked at to whom she was looking at. She saw the fangs and gasped softly. "Y… You're a… a…." The queen rolled her eyes now and hissed lowly "Ksssh… Not a, but THE queen of all vampires. Watch your tongue little girl, because it could cost you your life by disrespecting me, Marceline Abadeer." The vampire smirked at the name she called out, it strong and powerful. Bonnibel gulped slightly "B… Bonnibel Bubblegum m… Milady Marceline." Marceline laughed and smiled down at the fear the child held. "Marceline is just fine, I don't like formalities anyways. I mean… We aren't enemies, so come now it's fine with just talking like we're friends, no?" The younger monarch nodded before she was let go by the vampire. The vampire nodded towards a tree and the princess walked towards it and sat down slowly. "So… Bonni, what brings you to the forest of Ooo?"
