(Finn is still with the keyboard, Phantom is still in Princess mode)

Phantom- Hey Prince Finn?

Finn- Yeah?

Phantom- Can you bring Devil back?

Angle- Yeah, I'd hate to say it but I miss the bas-

(Phantom glances at him with a worried expression and innocent eyes)

Angle (Catching himslef)- I mean jerk.

Finn- Yeah I guess it is kind of boring without him.

(Finn types something, Devil appears)

Devil (glaring at Finn)- I hate you.

Phantom- Hey no need to fight.

Devil (Grabbing head)- GOD I HATE IT WHEN YOU GO PRINCESS PHANTOM, YOUR NO FUN!

Phantom (Smirking)- That sounds like a you issue. By the way I don't own Adventure Time.

Chapter 14

The Ball or is it a Prison

Nicor had walked back into Ryder's room after a bit, and saw that her bed was empty. He smirked because he knew for a fact Ryder was still in the room. So the closer he listened he heard very quiet sobbing. As quietly as the demon prince could, he snuck over to the side of the bed and crouched down.

At first Nicor didn't see anything, but then he spotted a crumbled figure curled into a ball. So gently Nicor tapped the small figure, and it turned over and Nicor saw Ryder.

She didn't have her hat on so her pitch black hair was cascading across her back and face. Her eyes we shut and the girl was slightly crying, so Nicor put a hand on Ryder's shoulder.

"Ryder, what's wrong?" Nicor asked out of total concern. That's right concern; Nicor may have acted like a total jerk, but he really does care for the younger girl.

After he said that, something happened that he didn't expect; Ryder leapt out from underneath the bed and pulled Nicor into a tight hug and cried into his chest.

Nicor was taken back, and to his own surprise he could feel a small blush on his cheeks, before he calmed down and the blush disappeared. The demon prince looked at the small girl cradled in his arms, and had a million thoughts going by through his head by the second.

But to be perfectly honest he was loving this moment, so gently he began pet the back of Ryder's head in hopes to calm her down. Eventually she had and went back to sleep, Nicor understood it she had been through a lot.

So silently he slipped her back onto her bed, 'Only for a few minutes.' He thought to himself. So he sat down on a chair next to her bed, when he heard the door creak open.

Nicor looked and instantly regretted it, for in the doorway stood him. The boy with red hair and blue streaks, pale skin, yellow eyes and was dressed exactly like the Demon Prince. Except that his outfit was red and black. To his name the stranger owned, Kage.

"Hello Kage what do you want?" Nicor asked in a poison tinted voice.

Kage smirked, "Well, he said that if Ryder isn't down soon that he will have me do her dressing. So what do you want to do."

Nicor growled but called a maid, as soon as the servant was in the boys left, and went to the ball room.

…

After the maid had woken Ryder up and washed her, she left Ryder to get dressed. So Ryder took the box that was on her dresser and sighed as she entered the bathroom to change.

After she was changed she looked herself over in the mirror. The outfit she was forced to wear was a black tank top, with white accents that led down to a black skirt that ended mid thigh, black leggings and black boots with red laces. She also had to wear black figureless gloves with white ties at the wrists, a black chocker, and a red rose in her hair that was pulled into two simple pony tails.

She was walking out of the door when she saw a shadow move out of the corner of her eye. Even though she knew better, she ignored it and tried to find her way to the ballroom. But before long she realized she was lost, and could still see the shadow moving ever so gracefully in the background.

"You can come out, I know its you." She said sternly.

Out from the shadows leapt none other than Nicor, who walked in front of the smaller girl. And looked her over, then smirked.

Ryder's eye twitched, "What do you want?!"

Nicor looked at her, "Well you see, you're lost. So I will escort you to the ball."

Before Ryder could protest; Nicor had grabbed Ryder by the waist and began to pull her down the hall. Soon they were in the grand ballroom surrounded by the King's allies.

Once there Ryder was instructed to sit by the king, so she watched everyone else as they mingled in such. Ryder spotted Nicor; he was being flooded by woman, some old some young all begging for a dance or more. Ryder couldn't help but laugh, every girl that has ever asked Nicor asked left crying.

The shadow of a king looked at the young girl, and asked with his raspy voice, "Ryder dear, what do you find so funny?"

The girl's face hardened, "Its nothing sir, nothing at all."

The King looked at the girl, "Ryder tell me, why did you run away in the first place. And don't worry; you can tell me, I won't be mad."

Ryder looked at the shadow in the throne, "You really want to know? Well here it is, I found out who I am, and why you want me. I'm sorry but I won't become that."

The king laughed silently to himself, "Well that is an interesting reason. But sadly you don't have a choice; you know the way it goes. How ever you raised that's what you become, no way around it Ryder. You can't run from destiny."

"I can try," Ryder spat back.

The King smirked, "Where would you go Ryder? We found you with no memory what so ever. You only knew your name, birthday, and age. Nothing else."

Ryder was about to speak when the king silenced her, "Think about it."

The King rose from his chair and silenced the room; all the monsters and evil things looked upon their king who laughed at it all, "My subjects. We are celebrating the return of Girl of Legend."

The King singled for Ryder to get up so she did, and stepped next to the King, everyone clapped and yelled excitedly.

After that Ryder sat back down in the same spot next to the King , except Nicor came to sit by the two.

"So Ryder, how are you enjoying the ball." Nicor asked the girl.

Ryder smiled and looked around noticing the guards at all the exits, then went onto thinking, 'This is a ball? Prison is a better way to describe it.'

But the night went on, and Ryder new that soon her worst fear would come true. And NO ONE could stop it from coming

Phantom- So what did you guys think

Devil (jumping up)- Do you know what I think? 1, why am I NOT fighting Angle right now. And 2, How the heck will I get the better Phantom back?!

Angle- You know about the fighting thing, I'm kind of thinking the same thing?

Phantom- And you know that only I can control how I change. Usally that is.

Devil (Smirking)- That's right, (pointing at a door) Phantom open that door, RIGHT NOW!

Phantom (Holding head low, black aura, Finn and Angle are scared, but Phantom smiles and has a pink aura and walks to the door)- Of course, happy to help.

(Finn's, Angle's, and Devil's jaws all drop)

Angle- Holy Crap.

Finn- You said it.

Phantom (Walking back with a small basket)- Anyway, please review and tell me your idea's I would love to hear them. Also vote, would you like me to look in the basket or not? And what's in the basket?

Devil- She's broken, its official.

(Phantom glares at Devil)
