Ryan's POV-

"Jake! She's waking up!" I heard a male voice call. I blinked a couple times and sat up. It looked like I had transformed in my sleep, luckily I transformed with clothes. It would have been so embarrasing... Ugh...

I felt a throbbing in my head," Ow. My head hurrrtttssss," I whined.

"Yeah, I thought so. You passed out and hit your head on a rock," He explained. Suddenly, the events of yesterday came rushing to my head.

"Wait, your Finn. My old childhood friend?" I asked, still a bit groggy.

"Yeah, and your Ryan, my childhood friend," He nodded.

"Oh. So whatch been up to these uhm...how long?"

"I don't really know, but your three years older than me,"

"Than its been eight years, I think. I'm still half-asleep,"

"Righteous, bro. Where have you been these eight years?"

"Well, mostly in the Nightosphere. Sometimes in Aaa. I fought in a war between Lumpy Space and the Nightospere too. How about you?" I smilied a fake smile. I didn't really want to talk about what I've done. There was too many people killed because of me.

"Well I becam an adventurer. I like to save people, kill monsters, that kinda stuff. Maybe you could teach me some of your battle moves?" He asked hopefully.

I looked down,"Those moves are for killing. They're for instinct. You'll use them out of reflex and you'll severly hurt someone..or worse," I glanced at him and looked back down,"No one should ever know," I painfully said as a tear dripped down my cheek and dropped onto the floor. Just thinking of how many families I've devastated made me shed a tear. Finn nodded at me and left to his little kitchen.

I felt a sudden shock from my necklace, and I dropped to the ground. My eyes were shut tightly and the shocks just seemed to increase in pain level. It got so bad that I started to scream. Finn came over and looked at me worridley.

"Wh-What's wrong?" He asked right as the shocks stopped. I gasped for air and deeply breathed for a minute.

"The Vampire King's mother. She put the necklace on me and I can't take it off. She uses it to shock me when I do something she doesn't like, or when she's bored.

"Th-that's horrible. Glob, Ryan, I didn't know you had it so hard,"

"When you've been this way for eight years, you get used to it," I said, looking down at my shoes.

"O-oh. Um..." There was a whole lot of awkward going around," So...you wanna go adventuring later?"

Marshall's POV-

What...What did I do?

She was here...then...I slapped her. I slapped my best friend.

Oh no nnoooo. I sighed. I was going to have to fix this. But she was right. She always was. And I was a jerk to her. I'm a monster.

I looked back at Fionna and she looked at me in digust,"Marshall, I think you should go,"

"Fi-"

"No Marshall. Please leave. You've done enough," She pointed at the door.

I slowly walked out of the tree house. I floated my misreable home. I hurt my best friend and my girlfriend. Now I have to fix both of those prblems. Great.

I opened the door to my little house in a cave. When I looked up I saw my mother, floating right above my couch. This is just a bad day. First Ryan, then Fionna, and now this. Wow, I just have bad luck today. Or I'm just a jerk who deserves all this. One of the two.

"Hello, Marshall. Please come over here," I sighed and floated over. Could this day get any worse?

"So I heard Ryan ran away? That's so unlike her! I trained her better," She said while shaking her head in disgust.

I scoffed," So that's what were calling it now?"

"Calling what?" My mother asked demandingly.

"You abused her. You kidnapped her. You didn't train her! She suffered and learned how to fight back! YOU didn't do anything but HURT her! SHE LEARNED ON HER OWN!" I was still a little angry, but that made me boil over.

"MARSHALL! You do not speak to your mother like that!"

"I'm not a kid anymore mom!"

"I know that. Sheesh. I came over to say, I'm going to hunt down Ryan,"

My eyes widend," What are you going to do after you find her?

"Make sure she's never going to do that again. But first I'm sending the army out to get her, after that, she'll be damaged. But after I'm done with her, she'll never even dream of escaping,"

"O-oh," Was all I could manage.

"Yes, goodbye son," And with that she left me.

All I knew was one thing:

I had to find Ryan before she did.
