Enjoy the next chapter.
Star moaned and slowly opened her eyes as she looked up and saw Marco punching the far wall, "Marco?" Marco stopped and looked back, "Shouldn't you be getting ready to go to bed? The sun is starting to come up and-" before she could, a loud alarm filled the air and Star's blue eyes widened.
Marco looked around before looking at the princess on the bed and arched a brow, "Um…Estrella? What in the hell is that alarm and why is it-"
"I…it's the monster alarm," Marco narrowed his eyes as they flashed a hellish red, "My parents would sound it for you…they knew you were here and-"
"They know you're my mate," Star's eyes widened and Marco sighed as he shook his head, "I'm sorry, I told them last night before I returned to earth and brought some humans here for blood source…it just slipped out and-"
"Marco, we'll worry about that later, right now I need to see why the alarm is sounding and-" before she could finish, Marco picked her up bridal style, surprising her, "Marco?" Marco turned and ran out of the room as Star wrapped her arms around Marco's neck.
Marco stopped in a well shaded area and the two saw Star's parents glaring out a window. Marco set Star down and Star looked at him before punching his arm, "If you do that again, I'm going to Narwhal Blast you. Now go back to the room before you turn to-"
"I'm going to help eliminate this threat," Star's eyes widened as Marco glared towards her parents, "Go find out why this alarm is sounding and let me know. I'll take care of whatever it is,"
"Marco…the sun is out…it could kill you and I'm not going to have this talk with you and-"
"Star, you're my mate, possibly my best friend too," Star's eyes widened, "Just…please, go find out what's approaching the castle and tell me." Star slowly stepped away from the Vampire and up to her parents.
Star looked out the window before looking up at her parents and saw hardened looks crossing their faces, "Mom, dad?" they looked at their daughter and Star frowned, "What's going on? Why is the alarm going off?"
"Ludo is approaching the castle," Star's eyes widened before she looked down at the courtyard and saw a green-skinned monster approaching the castle's doors, "You best stay here dear and-"
"If this Ludo character is approaching the castle, what's stopping us from going down there and kicking his ass?" the three looked back and Moon and River narrowed their eyes at the glowing red eyes in the shadows, "I understand the three of us haven't exactly seen eye-to-eye since I've arrived here with your daughter and something tells me after our little talk last night, the tension only gotten worse, but like I said, if this Ludo character is approaching the castle, what's stopping us from going downstairs and kicking this bastard's ass?"
"Other than the fact that Ludo is a ruthless murderer, you'll be useless i`n a fight, boy," Marco's red eyes glared at the short man, "And even still, Ludo is not to be taken lightly and-"
"And there's one of him and four of us," Marco growled, "We can send him to hell and your family will no longer have to live in fear from this Ludo bastard,"
"Perhaps, but we'll have to worry about you," Moon narrowed her eyes and Marco glared at her.
Star sighed before she walked away from her parents and over to the Vampire, "Marco," Marco looked at the blonde princess with soft eyes and slightly frowned, "I told you that Ludo was a terror to my family, and that he's after the wand. I also told you that he came close more than a few times and the sun is out and-"
"I know, Estrella," Marco reached up and rubbed the top of her head and Star slightly smiled, "But this Ludo has been terrorizing your family since before we met and that's not right,"
Marco stopped rubbing Star's head and turned and began walking away, causing the princess to frown, "I'm going to take care of this Ludo so you and your parents won't have to worry about living in fear," Star pouted before she followed Marco down the corridor, leaving her parents glaring down the corridor with narrowed eyes.
Star and Marco approached the main stairwell when Star placed a hand on Marco's shoulder and Marco looked back in confusion, "Marco, please go back to the room. I'll cast a spell on the door so the guards and my parents can't get in and kill you. Just let the guards handle Ludo and-"
"Estrella, I'm not going back to bed until I know this Ludo is dealt with," Marco sighed and shook his head as Star frowned before the two looked towards the main doors of the castle, "You helped me back on earth when my former friends tried to kill me. The very least I could do is take care of the threat that's been looming over your family for years."
Marco looked down at the doors and narrowed his eyes, "You should go back with your parents before they worry about you and-"
"And what? Marco, there are guards outside of those doors and if Ludo forces them inside, they'll see you and kill you before focusing on Ludo again," Marco hummed as his eyes flashed a hellish red, "Marco, please go back to the room. If it'll make you feel better, I'll stay in the room with you until the guards to ward Ludo off and-"
"And what, Star? What's stopping him from coming back with an army, or even stronger than he is now? From what you've said, he won't stop until he gets your wand, and then want? I've seen plenty of movies and know that when a villain gets what they want, they'll tend to kill off the family that's kept them from their goal, and I'll be damned if I let that happen to you,"
Star's eyes widened as Marco began to shake uncontrollably, "Out of everyone in this castle, probably across the entire multi-dimensional planes, you were the only one kind to me, and even though you wanted to kill me when we first met, you didn't and allowed me to explain how this happened, and you even invited me to live with you and your parents.
I'm more than certain I can easily dodge whatever the guards throw at me long enough to handle Ludo and bleed him dry. And once I see the life leave his eyes, I'll turn and race back to the room, if that'll make you feel better,"
"You're a stubborn one,"
"And that's something you're going to have to get used to," Marco looked up and Star slightly frowned, "Remember, you're my mate, and my best friend, so I'm not going to rest until after I know the threat is gone and will never return."
Star sighed and wrapped her arms around Marco's torso, resting her head on the back of his shoulder, "You're truly stubborn…but Marco, if the fight gets too intense and the sunlight comes closer to you, we're going back to the room, I'm going to cast a spell on the door and close the shutters and you are going to sleep…and you're not going to argue with me,"
"Fair enough, but until then, I'm going to fight Ludo with everything I've got," Star hummed and nodded, a frown painted across her lips.
Okay, I'm sure everyone can guess what's going to happen in the next chapter. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
