AN: Okay, this chapter will be longer than the last I think. Enjoy!

I wandered around town, asking random demons for directions. One shady looking guy offered to take me there.

'You'd really take me there?' I said. He dropped his dark hood, revealing a very attractive vampire with light blonde hair brushing just above his eyebrows.

'For you darling, anything.' I blushed lightly. Glob was this guy coming on to me? I contemplated saying no but I had no other way to get to Maim Street.

'Well, um thanks,' I said. He started to walk away and I followed, falling into step beside him.

'So what's your name?' He said, his voice low.

'Vera,' I said and mentally slapped myself. Was that even a demon name? 'Mmm. I like the sound of that. I'm Lim.'

Lim? Glob he was the guy who stole Marshall's ring! I tensed but attempted to play it off. 'Sounds familiar. Do I know you?' I said, hoping he wouldn't notice the sudden change in the tone of my voice.

'I'm sure I would remember meeting you,' He flirted. Oh glob the enemy is flirting with me! And he's kind of hot! No, stay on task Fi. You gotta get that ring for Marshall.

'So why are you going to Maim Street?' He asked. 'Well I'm just looking around, you know. I've never been and one of the locals said I should go there,' I said.

'So you're not from here?' 'No I'm just here visiting.' 'That's makes sense,' He said.

'Here we are.' He walked proudly onto the deserted street and spun. 'Home,'

'You live here?' I asked. 'Yeah, over there actually.' He pointed to a large abandoned looking building. So that must be where Marshall's ring is.

'You wanna come inside? It's pretty monic in there,' He said.

'No I don't wanna intrude,' I said. 'Nonsense. Come on I'll show you.' He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the building.

He walked up to the large stone door and pushed some keystones with weird symbols on them. 'Shh don't tell anyone the password,' He said softly.

'Okay I won't.' The door opened then shut quickly behind us, nearly catching my leg.'It's pretty dark in here.' I said.

I screamed as I was pushed back against the door. 'Why did Marshall send you? What are you here for? A spy?' He demanded as he pinned me against the door. I struggled against his arms but he was too strong.

'What are you talking about?' I said. He smiled darkly.

'Fionna, we're friends now. I brought you into my home. Now tell me what I want to know!' He pressed my wrists against the wall painfully.

'How do you know my name!' I yelled. I struggled against him as his head moved closer to my neck.

'Do you know what I am?' He said. 'A vampire?' he nodded. 'You know what vampires do to humans, right?' He licked my neck with his snake-like tongue. I pulled my head away from him.

I realised one of my legs were free and lifted it to kick him, only to have him catch it with his knee.

'Nuh-uh-uh.' He smiled ominously.

I saw a small bat appear in front of me and watched as it morphed into another vampire. This one had neck length brown hair that covered one of his eyes completely. He was also very attractive. Maybe it was a vampire thing.

'Lim, who's that?' He said.

I squealed as I was spun into the arms of the newly arrived vampire. 'Smell her,' Lim said.

I struggled against his arms but they were like solid rock around my waist. 'Human?' He said. 'That's not all. She's one of Marshall's cronies.' Lim smiled darkly. 'What should we do with her Klort?'

'Let me go!' I yelled, my legs thrashing around.

'I dunno Lim. Maybe drink her dry? I haven't had human in centuries.' He licked my neck. I screamed and struggled against him.

'This one's got fire,' Klort said and lifted me into the air. 'Maybe I'll keep her as my plaything.'

'No way Klort I found her!'

'Who's the boss?'

'You…' Lim crossed his arms in annoyance.

'So who gets to keep her if I so desire?'

'You.'

'That's right because I'm the boss,' Klort poked his finger at himself. I reached forward and bit dropped me and I landed gracefully on the ground.

'Ow! Crazy witch bit me!' He said and flicked his finger around.

'Where's Marshall's ring?!' I yelled and drew my demon sword.

'Oh you want his ring huh?' Lim started to circle me predatorily. 'You mean this ring, right?'

He held up his fist and opened it to reveal a beautiful gold ring with a blue stone. 'Yeah,' I said.

'Well come and get it.' I ran at him, my sword drawn high above my head. I swung down and he laughed as he dodged away from me. He grabbed my leg and threw me across the room, my back hitting the wall painfully. He walked over to me slowly.

The room's colours swirled and he picked me up and pinned me against the wall, his body pressed against mine. He rested his forehead on mine, his blonde hair tickling my nose.

'What's the matter Fi?' He whispered softly.

'Let me go!' I struggled against him. He pressed my body even tighter against the wall and I could barely breathe. His cool breath smelt coppery. He slowly moved his head to my neck.

'I've never had human before. Would you like to be my first, darling?' He said. I closed my eyes tightly and he hissed as he drew his head back.

Oh glob! I'm gonna die!

The wall burst in behind us, throwing me across the room as rubble rained down around me. I coughed as the force of it winded me. I stood shakily and shook my head to un-blur the world. Lim was, thankfully, thrown to the other side of the room.

The smoke cleared and I saw a dark figure standing in the opening.

'Marshall!' I yelled.

'It can't be! You should be dead!' Klort yelled.

'Think again,' Marshall's eyes flashed a dark shade of red and he slowly sauntered up to Lim who was still recovering from the blast. He picked him up by his neck.

'You think you could take her without me knowing?' He said, his voice low and dark. Lim scratched at his neck attempting to claw Marshall's hands away.

I looked around but Klort was gone. I turned my attention back to Marshall.

'Do you think I'd let her out of my guard for a second? You know she's mine!' Marshall yelled. I watched in horror as Lim's eyes slowly lost focus.

'Marshall stop!' I screamed, tears running down my cheeks. He looked at me and his expression softened.

He dropped Lim who gasped for air and held his neck. Marshall crouched in front of him. 'Where is it?' He demanded.

Lim threw the ring at Marshall who caught it skilfully. 'Good. Don't let me ever catch you near her again.'

Marshall stood and floated over to me. 'Fi I'm sorry you had to see that. Are you okay?' He grasped my arm softly. 'Yeah I…' I trailed off and threw my arms around him as I burst into tears.

'H-he was g-gonna kill m-me or k-keep me as his p-plaything. I d-don't even know what that m-means,' I pulled away from him and wiped my eyes. 'Plaything?' He said, his eyes flashing red.

'Yeah. But it's okay cause you saved me,' I wiped my nose on my sleeve. 'Come on Fi let's get you home,' He said and picked me up bridal style.

I sighed and nuzzled into his chest, feeling strangely already at home in his arms.

AN: Cheesy rescue scene, I know XD But yah know, it was nice. I wonder what the ring is for...? Next chapter, coming up!
