Writer of Epics, you demanded it so here you go I love it when my readers demand updates.

Isabella012, when creating an account you have to verify that you are human, there will be a picture with some wacky letters on it, you have too enter them into the space provided below that. Good luck. Oh and in relation too PB getting killed –evil grin- I don't know I may still have Finn fall in love with her, -giggle- or maybe I have a fate worse than death in store for her, you'll just have to wait and see.

I don't own Adventure time or the characters.


Waking up Finn looked down at the sleeping vampire still in his arms; she had cried herself too sleep and he hadn't had the hart too move her. Gently he touched her shoulder giving her a light shake. "Time to wake up." He whispered. Yawning she stretched out her body still half asleep, and then stiffened as she felt herself pressed against something soft. Springing out of his lap, she turned mid leap to land facing him, red eyed, prepared for a fight. Slowly as her mind caught up on what was going on she lowered her arms, coming down from high alert.

"Sorry about that, I'm not used to having companions." She looked at the ground abashed at her violent outburst. "Also sorry about… well sorry about last night, that wasn't like me." She turned away from him, a bit of red coming into her cheeks.

"No problem, sometimes you need to let it all out." Smiling he stood up and dusted himself off. "That's what friends are for, right?" Looking at him quizzically Em tilted her head to the side pondering his words.

"I guess your right, we are friends." A happy grin lit up her face. "Its been so long since I had anyone but companions and temporary allies that I forgot what its like too have a friend." Extending her hand towards him she had a childlike joy in her eye. "Lets shake, too the friendship of the two weakest vampires in the Nightosphere."

Laughing Finn griped her hand and gave it a good solid shake. "No, not the two weakest vampires, we are the two weakest vampires that are going to get out of this place." Grinning Finn turned to his back pack and pulled out two apples. "Let's drink too that, we will escape the Nightosphere no matter what stands in our way." Tossing her an apple he bit into his own and drained it of its red.

Refreshed Finn looked up at Em and was startled too see tears in her eyes. Standing there she had not yet drained her apple, instead she just stood there looking at it conflicting emotions running through her face. Shaking her head she lifted the apple too her mouth and drained it before looking up at him, there was a new fire burning in her eyes, the dying flame of her soul had been relit with a hope she had long abandoned. "I don't know how, but listening to you and your crazy talk makes me feel that it may just be possible for us too get out of this hell hole." Leaning forward she kissed him on the cheek. "Don't let me down, hero."

Blushing Finn was beginning to regret ever telling her that he was a hero on the outside. It seemed like she enjoyed too rub it in whenever possible like it was something to be embarrassed about.

Shrugging it off Finn grabbed his things and slung them over his back. "Well we can't stay here forever, may as well get a move on." There was a momentary hesitation in her eyes before Em nodded and grabbed her own things.

Insisting on going first Em climbed into the tunnel first clambering up the vertical incline like it was nothing. Reaching the top Finn waited inside while Em went out to check that the coast was clear. Popping her head back into the tunnel she gave him a thumbs up as an all clear signal. Exiting the tunnel the scenery was the same as the night before, nothing seemed to change on this waste land.

Heading out at a good pace they set off towards their destination with new strength from a good sleep. Em quickly went back into defensive mode looking around in all directions, but after some badgering was convinced to talk, so long as they kept it quiet.

"So Em… you were talking about how I was lucky to be turned like I was and… well I was sorta wondering how you were turned, if its ok too ask?" Finn was a bit nervous to bring up the topic, he didn't want to hurt her feelings, but curiosity got the better of him yet again.

Sighing Em looked off into the middle distance, looking back at recollections of an older and long gone time, probably best left forgotten. "It's ok Finn, I just don't talk about it that often… not at all in the last two hundred years now that I come too think about it." Staying silent Finn waited for her to continue. Looking down as she talked she had a sadness in her eyes that made Finn want to put his arm around her for comfort. "I was sixteen of course, just a month after my birthday. I got a fake ID from one of my friends. I had heard of this Goth club that was supposedly really awesome all my class mates had been talking about so of course I had too go." Looking at him Em's face was a mask of self scorn. "It was the biggest mistake of my life. I got into the club with only a razed eyebrow from the bouncer. Inside it was crazy with Heavy metal music blaring at a level to give you a headache and people going wild on the dance floor. It wasn't my usual scene but I was feeling adventurous so I stayed."

Stopping momentarily, she shook her head with regret. "After some time on the dance floor I was a bit dizzy from all the flashing lights and spinning so I headed too the bar, taking a seat I glanced around me and bam! sitting next too me is a Goth god, His pale skin didn't look all that odd in that club, all of the people in there were wearing makeup or something to make them paler, what attracted me was his perfectly chiselled features with long black hair, he was dressed all in black his cloths looked a hundred years out of date but still really sexy." Finn was a bit uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation; girl talk was not his strong point.

"Anyway he turned to me and smiled showing his fangs, at that point I was melting like butter; I'd read so many vampire romance novels that I was completely in love with anyone sporting fangs." Putting her palm on her forehead she looked ashamed. "I know it sounds stupid but there was big pro vampire hype and I wanted to be a vampire as bad as the rest of them. He could tell I was interested so he got up and gestured for me too follow, and like the idiot kid I was, I did."

Finn didn't know much about the time that she had lived in but he did sympathise with her wanting to be a vampire, he had wanted the same, even if it was for different reasons.

"Well when we go outside he told me all about how he was this ancient vampire who was very important and powerful, he told me how I was the greatest beauty he had seen in all his years. I was flattered; he had me neatly wrapped around his finger. We went to a hotel and… engaged in certain activities." The blush that crept up too her face gave Finn no small hint as too what said activities were.

"Afterwards he turned me. We stayed in the hotel for about a week then one night he disappeared. I was left with nothing. I couldn't go back home now that I was a vampire and I didn't even know any other vampires that could help me. Luckily in those days there was still a vampire government functioning, and after about a month on my own they found me, I later found out that the creep who turned me was about fifty years older than I was, and had been going around turning young girls in his own little sick game, I got some satisfaction when I heard that they had caught him and ended his little spree permanently." The satisfaction in her voice left no doubt of what she meant by permanent.

Her eye's dimmed, losing the fierce light they had when remembering her sires end. "It was only a few years after that when the last world war broke out, I didn't pay that much attention too human politics by that stage so I don't know how it started but soon we had a full blown nuclear war. Entire countries cessed too exist over night. By the end of it there were barley forty thousand humans left."

Taking a deep breath she paused looking up at the false moon overhead. "We had been hit pretty hard by the war as well, our government was gone; the main body of it was in New York, and when that got hit in the first wave of nukes we were left without any leadership. Without them things fell too chaos, vampires killing each other struggling to gain some perceived power. There were barley five hundred of us left by the end of it, and we thought that we could finally settle down. We didn't realise till it was too late that the Vatican had survived and were rallying the surviving humans too their banner, they pointed fingers at us as the cause of there dam war! Unfortunately we had been fighting the Vatican for many years before then and they knew how too seal us away in this forsaken place, we were outnumbered. A war broke out and some of us tried to rally together, but we were doomed from the start. They knew our weaknesses and after sixty years of fighting the last of us who resisted were banished here, I was the last. We assume that there are still a few of us on the outside but we have had no contact since. You are the first vampire to be sent too the Nightosphere in hundreds of years.

Finn didn't understand a lot of what she had said especially the names but he did understand that it hurt for her to recall the past memories of such a harsh time, when she lost everything that she held dear. Giving into his protective instinct he reached his arm around Em's shoulders and pulled her into a one armed hug. Smiling up at him, grateful for the comfort she rested her head on his shoulder; they carried on for a few more kilometres in this way. He didn't know any words to relieve her pain so he ended up just holding onto her.

Finn didn't realise anything had changed till he stepped on something that with a sharp retort cracked underfoot. Startled they both looked down at his foot, under it was a bone white with age splintered by the impact of his boot. Looking around Finn saw that surrounding them were a vast number of bones many of them human in nature with bite marks indicating a gruesome death. Em turned too him eye's wide with panic. "Oh god, we were supposed to go around this area." That said she grabbed his hand and started to sprint down the path as fast as vampuricaly possible. The fear and utter panic in her voice gave Finn reason enough not to argue as he charged after her. Hearing thunder in the distance Finn looked up but couldn't make out any clouds, ahead of him Em was doing the same but she seemed to be afraid of the thunder itself looking in every direction in terror. Slowing down she came too a stop before turning to him, her eyes were afraid but underling that was a steel that refused to be broken. "It's too late we have too fight." Her tone held no doubt as she slung her sack off her back and pulled out of it a set of deadly looking twin daggers.

Dropping his own backpack on the ground Finn drew both axes from his back holding each one handed, a surprisingly easy feat when you have vampire strength. Looking around expecting eminent attack Finn could make out nothing threatening in their vicinity which drew questions as too why Em was so panicked. "What are we supposed to be fighting? I don't see anything."

Grabbing his head roughly she pulled him around and lifted his face while pointing into the sky, Finn could just make out two black dots in the far distance but they seemed to be getting steadily bigger. "I should have known with your dam luck that this would happen. And a mating pare too boot!" Grinning to hide her fear she punched him on the arm. "I probably should have left you where I found you, would have saved myself an early grave." She had started too laugh it sounded as if she was bordering on hysterics. With noticeable effort she calmed herself down. "Ok tip one try and aim for the eyes its one of their only weak spots, two don't forget about the tail, that thing is deadly, and three…" Leaning forward she covered his lips with her own with a hungry desire. Pulling back she smiled sheepishly. "Three don't get yourself killed hero." Ears burning Finn was stunned by what had just happened, all he could do was open and close his mouth like a fish.

The thunder he had heard earlier came again, this time much louder. Spinning around Em turned too face their fast approaching foe daggers held in a death grip. "Get ready and try not too freeze up when you see them, wyverns are pretty shit in your pants scary but if you freeze you will be dead before you can blink."

'So that is what we are fighting, no wonder Em is so panicked, it's the top item on her list of things not too fuck with in the Nightosphere.'

Taking his place next too her he held his axes at the ready, and stood with Em as they watched the wyverns approach. Turning to grin down at her Finn was actually feeling exhilarated as the adrenaline pumped through him. "Try not too get yourself killed either. We can have a barbecue after with the left over pieces of these guys."

Looking at his grinning face it wasn't long before she too had an identical one on her own face. "Just try not to get in my way Hero." They both started too laugh, even if it was a bit forced Em looked more relaxed and ready to face the winged daemons.

Hitting the ground with thunderous force only a few yards away from them, Finn could see what Em had meant about them being shit your pants scary. Standing about twenty foot a piece they were huge, add to that their long necks and tails they were a formidable sight, but probably the worst was their maws filled with razor sharp teeth ready to shred the meat off of their bones. Slowly the Wyverns circled too each side of the vampires, eyeing them to see if they were a threat.

Not wanting to let the monsters toy with them Finn with a roar charged at the nearest wyvern, it seemed startled to be the one under attack but that was short lived as it lashed out at him with it's tail. Dodging to the left Finn barley got out the way before it impacted where he had been a second ago.

Lifting the Axes and taking a full swing at the tail he was too slow as the wyvern had already withdrawn it. While his concentration was on the tail he had not seen the wing heading towards him, knocking down with stunning force Finn was sent face down into the dirt. Pushing himself up off the ground he was just in time too see the huge lizard leap at him, extending its claws out to rend him. Rolling too the side Finn felt a sharp pain in his back as one of the claws clipped him.

Getting too his feet Finn quickly swung at the exposed side of the beast and scored a deep slash, screeching it turned and lunged at him with its massive jaws, Finn had expected this and waiting for the last moment jumped out the way while simultaneously bringing down his axe onto the exposed eye of the wyvern. Screaming with pain the half blinded creature lashed out with its tail again but Finn was too fast, seeing an opening he slipped past its attack and lunged forward and in one swift movement sliced open the other eye. Blind and in great pain the screaming creature struggled pitifully, lashing out in every direction in an attempt to save itself. It was almost easy for Finn to slip past it's guard and with a powerful overhead swing sever its head. The body twisted and shuddered for a moment before lying still on the ground. Finn took a moment too marvel at his work before more pressing matters brought him back to the fight.

Turning to see how Em was doing Finn froze, she was still fighting with her wyvern and it seems she was not on the winning side. Several deep gashes marked her sides and arms as well as a long cut running from her hair line to her chin running across her nose. Her opponent on the other hand was unscathed. Still Em stood her ground with a determent look on her bloodied face. Letting out a challenging roar Finn charged the beast, who after a startled look at its companion, who was now surprisingly dead, recoiled from him, this creature was not used to being on the wrong side of the food chain, the change leaving it confused and frightened. Beating its wings hard the beast took off at speed but not before it reached forward with its clawed foot and plucked Em from the ground. The beast steadily rose with the struggling vampire griped firmly in it claws, deciding that Finn was too much for it.

Watching it climb Finn was not going to let it get away that easily, especially not with his friend in its clutches. Taking off Finn sped after the retreating creature who completely unaware of the fast approaching danger had levelled off and was gliding sluggishly back home. The first warning it got was as Finn swung his axe into the base of its right wing severing the appendage completely.

With an ear-splitting roar the beast began to tumble in mid air as it suddenly found itself with one wing, unable to maintain flight. Em was thrown clear of the wyvern as it lost its grip on her, sending her screaming out into the empty air. Rushing in Finn grabbed her out of her free fall and settled into a hover, as he watched the wyvern spiral downwards until with a thunderous boom it collided head first with the ground and was still. Trembling, Em clung to Finn as if her life depended on it hiding her face in his chest. Descending slowly Finn held her gently cradling her in his arms even after they had reached the ground till the shudders that rocked her body had stopped.

Setting her down gently, he floated back a bit too give her some space. Slowly her head came up, her eyes were those of a scared animal as they darted back and forth, settling on the decapitated wyvern corps then too the other crumpled body a few meters away. Her face was a mask of incomprehension as she stared at the two creatures that were supposed to have killed her.

Grinning Finn floated towards her ready for the victory dance, what he wasn't expecting was his companion's reaction. Finally getting over the shock of what had happened Em turned to stare accusingly at the still floating Finn. "You lying bastard!" She was fuming her eyes sparking red as she advanced on him pointing a finger at his chest. "You asshole, did you enjoy your little game, was it funny to toy with the little girl while you deceived her into thinking you were some nobody fledgling." Coming level with him she forced him to retreat lest she bowl him over. Not giving him a chance too respond she continued her tirade. "I had it right the first time, you are an Elder, a sick freak who gets his kicks by toying with the younger vampires. Well did I give you a good laugh? Did I tickle your funny bone? Well good cause I'm out of here I hope you rot in the deepest pit of hell… oh no, I forgot we are already there!" hurt and betrayal were the dominant features on her face as she turned to leave.

Finn was sick of being accused of something he didn't do and especially so after he had just rescued her from certain death. "What the glob is your problem? All I did was kill those wyverns and save your ass, what did I do that suddenly makes me some sick freak of an Elder?

Turning on him her eyes were even more furious than before as she looked at him as if he were a coiled cobra. "You dare ask me that while you are using one of the most common Elder tricks, flight right in front of me, go find some other lower vamp to be your play thing, I'm done." Turning her back on him she started heading in the direction they had come from.

Finn was confused and angry now, he had had flight since he was turned he wasn't lying about his age, so why didn't she believe him. "I'm telling the truth, Marceline only turned me four days ago!" The silence after his outburst was defining as Em froze in place.

Turning to face him her face was stunned. "M M Marceline, as in Queen Marceline?" At Finn's nod her eyes got wider. "But you said a girl called Marcie turned you." She was shaking now the stress of so many shocks overloading her system.

Scratching his head Finn felt a little silly for not using Marcie's full name when telling Em about her last night. "Well Marcie is kind of my nick name for her." He wasn't prepared for the outburst that his words would cause.

"You don't fricking give a nick name too a royal!" She was beside herself throwing her hands in the air. "You think it would be worth mentioning that your sire was Marceline the vampire Queen but noooo you just thought you would skip around that important detail, well let me tell you something, you…" Realization suddenly hitting her, Em's eye's flared wide before she fell to her knees pressing her head to the ground. "Forgive me my lord, the brash and uncivilised tone I used before was only due to shock, had I known who you were I would never have been so informal."

Finn was gob smacked by the sudden change of attitude; he quickly glanced around to make sure that she was really talking to him. "Em please get up." Instantly she was on her feet her attitude which before was akin to someone dealing with their favourite kid sibling was now one of a demure servant. "Why the glob are you acting so strangely?" He was honestly baffled by this strange behaviour.

Some of the old Em surfaced briefly as a quick smile flickered across her face. "My lord you were turned by Marceline the vampire Queen last of the royal line, your powers are above those of regular vampires, even above those of an Elder. Also as the queens… lover you have the title of Queen's Consort and are therefore the second highest ranking vampire in existence, by all rights every vampire in the Nightosphere, in the absence of the queen, is at your direct command."

This was not quite what he had expected and he was sure he didn't want all the fawning, especially not from his only friend in this world.

'Oh Glob this may be a problem.'


Well there you go chapter 9 done. First sorry too anyone living in New York for killing you off in the first nuke strike it was just the first city that came too mind. I hope this chapter is good, Only put Finn and Em in this one, thought I'd give poor Marcie a break from the constant torture. He he he I wonder if all the power is going to go to Finn's head. Hope you enjoyed, and if you did please review and tell me so, this one has a very fragile self esteem… ok not really but its still nice to know that people like my work.
