We flew high above the ground; I felt the chilly night air coming in contact with my face. I'll admit it felt good but I was still worried about what would be awaiting me, not to mention that I was afraid of falling. Despite the fact that Blake held my hand very tightly the possibility haunted the back of my mind.
I looked down at the world below us, I could bluntly see the ruins of a rather big city, and for some reason it gave me a nostalgic feeling. Blake smiled down at me before speaking "That used to be New York. Even though the city is destroyed its statue wasn't" Blake pointed out a distant figure, as we got closer I could make out what it was. It was the statue of Liberty; I was surprised that it still stood tall after the war.
"I'll admit, the humans were quite good with making beautiful pieces of art. Do you agree?" I just nodded, my eyes were glued to the statue, this wasn't the first time I had seen it. And then it hit me. It was a few years ago when my Mom and I snuck out of the nightosphere and spent the day here. I remembered us visiting times square, going to the Statue of Liberty and watching one of the Broadway play's...what was it called...I remember that is was a musical about a French peasant's quest for redemption after serving jail time for stealing bread. I just couldn't remember the name of it...
"Ah, that musical would be known as Les Miserables. I remember when it was first put on Broadway" Blake said. How could I have forgotten about his power to read minds? "Enough chit-chatting. I want to know what you wanted me for" I demanded. Blake just chuckled to himself. "I already told you, I'm giving you an offer. You just have to wait until we reach our destination" Blake explained. Well so much for getting answers out of him, "Could you at least tell me where you plan on taking me?" I asked, "And ruin the surprise!? I'm afraid not, child." He joked.
"I have a name, you know!" I pointed out, annoyed by him toying with me. Blake's smug smile crept on him face "I know you do, Marceline. That old man you force yourself to be with only had thoughts on you." Blake explained. "What do mean force myself to be with him?" Now I was demanding answers.
"Silly Marceline, I know a lot about this planet, it's history, and more importantly the crown that Simon possesses. I'm fully aware of what it capable of doing to a mere mortal. I know that the crown slowly drives its victims to insanity and its doing the same with Simon too" I opened my mouth to speak but was cut off. "Despite you're bond with Simon, you're also afraid of what he is capable of." Blake pointed out
"Stop! Stop messing with me and stop reading my mind!" I begged, I couldn't take it anymore. This man was about to drive me crazy! "Sorry, I guess I got carried away, I swear to you that I won't toy with your mind anymore...I guess I'm just used to using my powers as a source of entertainment" Blake said.
"Well I refuse to be your little source of entertainment! Got it!" I snapped at the gray-haired man. And as to be expected he just chuckled at me instead of taking me serious. "Hey, I already said that I won't play any mind games with you. Geez, you're no fun" Blake pouted. I just rolled my eyes at him. He might be the Vampire King but despite his rank, I refuse to give him any respect. I just ignored him and looked down at the ground, but to my surprise I didn't see a trace of land. Blake was currently flying above the ocean. I only heard the sounds of crashing waves as I was lost in thought. Just haw far was this place he was taking me?
"Well, were here!" Blake said, descending us back onto the ground. I was relieved to touch land again. Anyway the place that we had descended to was a small island. There was nothing unique or stunning to the small piece of land. That's what I thought until we went into a small cave that had contained a portal leading to god knows where.
"Ah, so you managed to bring the child" I jumped in surprise when I heard a different voice coming from behind us. Both Blake and I turned, instead of seeing a demon or monster I saw a woman. She was only a few inches shorter than Blake, but they shared similar traits. They both had the same bright red eyes and their skin was pale white. The only difference between them was her dark blue hair and her attire, which consisted of mainly red.
"Of course, my beautiful Lydia" He leaned in and gave the woman a soft kiss on the lips before a big smile crept on his face. "Have you informed her about our offer yet" Lydia asked, patiently waiting for an answer. "That's what I'm about to do" He turned away from Lydia and went to me. He went down to his knees to meet with me at eye level. I was really surprised when I saw that his common smile was replaced with a frown. He actually looked serious.
"Now Marceline, listen carefully, because I'm only going to address it to you once. I'm giving you a choice to finally leave this world" He pointed to the portal. "That portal leads into my dimension that I govern and lead, you will be able to go there if you accept these conditions" Conditions? What could he possibly want from me. I decided to not object so instead I kept quiet and listened to his words." To be able to live in this dimension you will have to allow me to change you into a vampire and sevre me like the rest of my followers do" I shivered, I wanted to stay the way I was, but would I really be willing to refuse his offer, this might be the only chance I get to leave this dangerous world.
"And what about Simon, is he allowed to come too?" I asked, praying that he would say that one simple word: yes. Blake just shook his head. "That man is too much of a threat to us, he'll have to stay here" He finally informed me.
I just stood there. What was I going to do? I couldn't leave Simon behind, but I desired to be safe and sound. I thought about his decision for a few minutes before finally coming up with a conclusion.
I just hoped that the choice I made was the right one.
