I found myself in my bed again, the note telling me that I shouldn't be running away was on my nightstand. Bubblegum hates it when I try to escape, saying that I'm not ready for the kind of perils out, and to further illustrate her point, she planted an electric chip in my neck that is activated whenever I walk outside the kingdom gates or remotely. There is some commotion outside my door, wonder what's going on.
Marceline POV
"Gosh darn it! Go away, Marceline!" P-Bubs shouted, getting slightly flustered.
I grabbed her shirt to keep her at bay, whatever 'at bay' means and chuckled, she knows she doesn't have means to get rid of me.
"I smell a newcomer, where you keeping him?" I smirked cruelly.
"How do you know he's a male?" Bubs questioned.
I pointed at my sniffer and pushed P Bubs away, she stumbled before regaining her balance and noticing the door I was in front of.
"Wait, don't..!"
Ekko POV
I got up and walked to the door, I was halfway there when it started getting hit by something really big, I think someone grabbed a battering ram and took a hefty amount of smack to the eyeballs. But... the princess abolished narcotics...
Oh no...
The door was kicked open with considerable force, in the doorway was the silhouette of a girl floating three inches off the ground, she had knee length black hair and was wearing a red plaid flannel over a grey tank top, blue jeans with a large leather bag tied to her belt loops, and brown combat boots. What confuses me is the eggshell colored skin, then I noticed the two punctures in her neck, definitely a vampire...
"What's up loser?" She said while lowering herself to the ground and walking over to me.
"I could be better, and who are you to show up to my room uninvited?" I replied with a smirk on my lips.
As soon as I was able to properly see her face, I noticed her expression, she had a look of confusion while she stared at me.
"So, are you... like a prisoner or something?" She asked.
"I think prisoner is over selling it, the princess would use the term 'guinea pig'." I replied, crossing my arms.
Bubblegum ran into the room with a angered expression, holding that cursed remote.
"Ekko, don't you dare go with her!" She yelled.
I reached quickly into my pocket for a pen, throwing it at Bubblegum's hand, the remote made a loud clunk as it hit the ground.
"Sorry, but I got big ambitions and I won't satisfy them if I'm just locked in a cage for the rest of my existence. I hope you understand." I said, looking through my bangs.
I had a scalpel I stole from the medical side of PB's lab, I traced it down the left side of my neck, blood trickled immediately, but I ignored the pain to focus on my real goal. I slowly dug my thumb and index finger into the hole to pull out a circular bit of metal, the electric chip. My wound healed immediately, the vampire had a impressed look, and PB looked like she was going to puke.
"And with this, I abolish all control you had on me!" I said before crushing the chip in my hand.
The princess ran out of the room, screaming for the guards.
"Yeesh, you think that was a bit much?" The vampire asked in a sassy tone.
"I didn't see you with a brighter idea, but I was planning this for a while. Thanks for reminding me of my plan, miss..." I stretched that last word.
"Marceline... You wanna get outta here?" She asked.
"If you can keep up!" I said while grabbing my coat and swords.
[Theme of a tragic revenge]
She smirked as I ran past her, she followed close behind, floating as fast as I could run. A few guards tried to stop me, but I just pushed them out of my way, they may be pointing sharp things at me but that doesn't mean I have to poke them with my sharp bits. We reached the front of the central hall, I noticed that someone had closed the gate on us.
Marceline POV
"Hey, you think you can open that?" Ekko asked as guardsmen closed in behind us.
"I'll do you one better!" I said before dropping to the ground and sprinting towards the metal bridge, quickly, I jumped and... "Vampire kick!"-ed a decent sized hole in the iron bridge.
I turned my head and saw Ekko doing one of those flip/spin jumps I see in those 'on ice' movies, overdone and tacky.
"Show off." I scoffed.
"I don't see how that is showing off when you did that!" He said as he landed on the ground from the far side of the gate.
More guards started swarming and the sun wasn't offering any useful advice, it was saying 'would it help if I burned your skin off?', so I grabbed the guy's arm and flew as fast as I could out of there, pulling a pair of gloves and a cap from my magic satchel of disbelief...
Ok, I pulled the hat from my side bag and the gloves from my bra, but what do you want? I got a image to keep up!
"You can fly?!" Ekko said over the sound of excessive G-force.
"What, you thought I could just float?" I replied, he answered with a sad nod.
I looked forward and kept flying, we were miles away from the candy kingdom and I doubt P-Bubs would send a search party after us, I like to keep myself hidden in a cave house for that very reason.
Now I will explain a thought that might interest you, this guy looks eerily familiar to a guy I knew when I was little, but that was nearly a millennium ago, so I doubt this guy is even human. The only human I know is hanging out in one of my old houses, and by know I mean 'am stalking', if we're going to be grammatically correct.
