Chapter 1

Family time

"Too slow!" Marshall shouted.

Marshall jumped out of the way of a charging Marcus who tripped and fell forward. He laughed at his son's attempt at tackling him. Marcus growled and got back up, he pulled a wooden knife out of his belt and tossed it at his dad, Marshall didn't react fast enough so it hit him in the side hard. It stunned him a bit, leaving Marcus an opportunity to jump at him. Marcus grinned as he shot himself up into the air towards Marshall; he tackled him to the ground and pinned him down. Marshall was expecting this; he kicked Marcus off of him and stood tall with his claws out. Marcus hissed and got back up, he charged at Marshall; bearing his teeth and claws. Marshall smirked and grabbed his son's wrists; he lifted him over his head and threw him down on the ground hard.

Marcus gritted his teeth at the pain in his back; he growled and flipped onto all fours. Marcus transformed into his werewolf form, he grabbed Marshall and tossed him towards the stone wall; Marshall hissed at the pain. He recovered and transformed into his gigantic bat form, he stomped towards Marcus; his arms extended out to grab him. Marcus got out of the way and tripped Marshall and he hit the ground hard. Marcus transformed into his bat form like his father's, he picked up his father but the tuff of his hair on his back; raising his fist to pound him in the head. Marshall reacted quickly; grabbed his fist and twisted it. Marcus howled in pain, Marshall took this chance and put his son into a head lock; Marcus hissed and struggled to get out of Marshall's grip.

Near the edge of the fight, was Fionna; she watched her 16 year old son and husband spar. To her it looked like they were going to kill each other but she knew they would never do that; Marshall was just being tough on the kid. Fionna sighed and shook her head.

"What's wrong mother?"

Fionna snapped out of her thoughts and turned, she saw her daughter; Joanna. Fionna smiled at her 5 year old daughter and petted her head.

"Hey Jo, come to watch your daddy and your brother beat each other up?" Fionna mused and pointed at the struggling vampires.

Joanna looked over at them, she saw that Marcus got out of the head lock but now him and Marshall locked hands and were struggling to bring the other down to the ground. She rolled her eyes at them.

"Not really but it's amusing to watch them fight and never win a single match against each other." Joanna crossed her arms and continued to watch them.

Fionna chuckled and nodded. "Yeah I know it's pretty much a stale mate between those two; they are too evenly matched to win against each other."

"I don't see the point in them having these sparring matches, they both know they can't win and their strengths are just the same as last time they sparred. It's ridiculous and stupid." Joanna sighed.

Fionna shrugged. "I know it is but your dad and Marcus are just really, really stupid you know?"

"I'm glad it skipped a generation." Joanna rolled her eyes.

Fionna busted out laughing, her daughter was smart but also very funny. Fionna contained herself, wiping a tear from her eyes.

"Good one baby but why did you come out here? You never usually leave the library unless it's something important." Fionna asked.

"I know but my studies can wait, I came here to tell you that dinner is ready and waiting for us in the dining room." Joanna said

Fionna nodded and got up out of her chair. "Okay, go tell your father Marcus. I'll be in the dining room if you have trouble with them."

Joanna nodded before Fionna started to walk to the castle. Joanna looked back and saw Marcus had Marshall pinned down but then he flipped their positions. Joanna rolled her eyes and walked towards them, she was very small compared to them but she wasn't afraid; she was the princess of the nightosphere. Nothing scared her, only she's allowed to scare.

"Dad, Marcus, it's time to eat." Joanna said.

They didn't hear her, they were too busy fighting and trying to get the other to call off the fight. Joanna sighed, she hoped she wouldn't have to do this but it was the only way. Joanna closed her eyes, she grew as tall as her father and Marcus but that wasn't it; Joanna grabbed her face with her hands and tore it apart. Revealing her grotesque demon face, she roared to grab their attention which she did. Marshall and Marcus stopped fighting to see Joanna.

"Oh no." they said in unison.

Joanna grabbed Marcus and Marshall, pulling them apart and slammed their faces together with great force before slamming them down to the ground; she stomped on them both. She pounded them further and further into the ground with each stomp, when she was satisfied; she shrunk back to her normal height and pushed her face back together. She stared down at them both.

She smiled at her work. "Dinner's ready."

Joanna laughed and turned around to skip towards the castle. Marcus and Marshall were face down on the ground, defeated and sore from their mini beating from a 5 year old. Both Marshall and Marcus groaned before lifting themselves out of the dirt. Marshall brushed himself off while Marcus wiped the dirt off his face.

"God I hate that fucking girl" Marcus cursed.

"Marcus!"
