Star's Keyblade4114: Yeah, Jackie got an earful from our rebellious princess.
Enjoy the third chapter.
Marco opened his eyes and sat up before turning into a bat and stretched his wings, "It's good to see you're up," the bat turned and saw the princesses stepping into the room, Star stepping away from the other princesses, "I was worried when we came in here earlier it destroyed your sleep cycle,"
Turning back to normal, the Vampire walked up to the blonde princess and rubbed the top of her head, "It'll take a lot more than you waking me up like that to throw me off my sleep cycle, Estrella," he looked past her and arched a brow, "Now…Melissa, uh…Lily?"
"Lilacia," Pony Head corrected and Marco nodded, "And what are you doing?"
"Seeing if I remember your names…okay…uh Christina, Jessica and Penelope, right?"
"Yes," the minotaur princess answered and arched a brow, "Now who's Estrella? We never met-"
"Estrella means Star in Spanish," the undead answered before stepping away from Star, "Now, if you lovely ladies will excuse me, I am in the mood for some blood and-"
"Actually Marco, can you hold on for just a second?" Marco looked back as Star walked over to him, her wand held tightly in her hand, "Hold out your hand," confused, Marco did as he was told and in a flash of light, he held a small, metal tap, "There…this way you won't deplete your blood source any time soon,"
"Heh…cool…thanks, Star,"
Star smiled and nodded, "Don't mention it…use whatever glass you want from the kitchen…and don't worry about the person bleeding to death. That tap would heal whatever injury you'll give to them after you remove it,"
"Hmm…got to love magic," Marco smirked and kissed Star's forehead, "Thanks Star…now if you'll excuse me, I'll get out of your hair and your girls can enjoy your…whatever it is," the princesses nodded as Marco turned and walked out of the room.
Marco stood on a balcony in the north tower of the castle, a wine glass of blood in one hand and the metal tap in the other. Sighing, Marco shook his head before his shoulders slumped over, "I can smell your blood from here, your majesty…you really shouldn't try sneaking up on a Vampire like this. It'll only end badly," Moon opened the door and walked out onto the balcony, "I can sense you and your husband and still uncomfortable with having me here and the thing between me and your daughter makes you less comfortable and-"
"While you are right on both accounts, I'd figure you'd be with my daughter, avoiding possible death," Moon stated, standing next to the undead teen, "Why aren't you with my daughter, boy?"
"She and her friends are having a small party or whatever you want to call it and I wanted to give those lovely ladies some time to themselves…besides, I refuse to drink blood in front of your daughter…I can drink it in front of anyone else, but I don't want to disgust her," he looked up at the Queen of Mewni and frowned, "Your majesty, can we put our petty differences aside for the evening? There's something important I want to ask you," Moon slightly narrowed her eyes and Marco sighed, "I'm not going to attack you or any other Mewman, but I do have a few questions I'd like answers to,"
"And what makes you think I have the answers?"
"Because you're Mewman," Moon crossed her arms and stared at Marco, "Vampires usually-"
"Are evil, are bloodthirsty monsters, are immortal and-"
"No…we're not," Moon narrowed her eyes and Marco took a deep breath, "I don't know any other Vampire besides myself and the one who did this to me…so I can't say rather or not we're evil…we do drink blood, natural part of our diet…but we're not immortal," Moon arched a brow, "I've been doing some more research on Vampires this past week and even before than I knew Vampires aren't immortal. Nothing is…there's just…no such thing as an immortal,"
"If you say so…what is your question?"
Marco frowned before taking a drink and looked out towards the Forest of Certain Death, "Well…Vampires usually live for a thousand years at the most…I…what's average lifespan of Mewmans?" Moon stared at him with a questionable look, "I just…I want to know…this way I know how long I have with my mate and-"
"Oh…I see…well, Mewmans live between a hundred and a hundred and fifty years on average," Marco frowned and his shoulders slumped over, "Any other questions?" Marco looked up and saw a hint of concern behind Moon's eyes, "Is everything alright, boy?"
"No…everything is not alright…I've just learned that I'm going to outlive Star by nine hundred years and…I don't like that thought," Marco sighed and shook his head, "I…thanks for being honest with me, your majesty," Moon slightly frowned as Marco looked out towards the forest, "I want to be alone," Moon silently nodded before she walked away.
Marco frowned before taking another drink, "I wanted an answer…I was hoping the Mewman lifespan was a bit higher…but that's what I get for asking for the truth." Finishing his drink, he turned and walked through the door leading to the tower.
Marco was washing the wine glass, a frown crossing his lips when he heard a voice speak, "Hey boy, what's your deal?" he looked back and sa Pony Head floating behind him, "You've been actin strange…I think…and you look like you've lost everything. Not that I care or anything, but what's wrong?"
"I…I was talking to Star's mother…I asked her about the Mewman lifespan and-"
"A hundred and fifty years at the most," Marco's frowned deepened and Pony Head rolled her eyes, "What? Is the little immortal upset? Did he want his mate to be an immortal too?"
"I'm not an immortal," Pony Head looked at him with a questionable look and Marco sighed and shook his head, "Immortals don't exist. There's just no such thing," Pony Head arched a brow and Marco took a deep breath, "Vampires live for a thousand years at the most, and I was hoping Mewmans had similar lifespans and…I guess I was wrong,"
"And why do you care? You just learned that Mewmans live over a hundred years, so what's the-"
"Well…I…I don't…I don't know. I was hoping to have more time with her than that and…I just don't know," Pony Head sighed and Marco shook his head, "Look…why don't you go back to your party thing and forget about me. Hell, we don't even know each other and-"
"Why don't you bite her," Marco looked at the disembodied unicorn head in disbelief, "Bite her, turn her and everyone will be happy," Marco chuckled and shook his head, "And what's so funny? I'm being serious and-"
"And foolish," the floating unicorn head princess glared at the undead teen with narrowed eyes and Marco shook his head, "I know you're trying to offer some type of help, but Star's parents, everyone in this castle really, hates monsters, and I don't want to be the reason they hate her…besides, I can't turn her unless she wants me to and I won't talk her into it because that'll be selfish,"
Taking a deep breath, Pony Head rolled her eyes, "If you say so, but try to think about that. And if she does want to be turned? What would you do-"
"I'll worry about that when the time comes…for now you should get back to your friends. And if it's not too much trouble, can you not tell Star about this? She's done more than enough for me and I don't want her to worry,"
"Whatever you say, Vampire. But if she starts asking questions, you should be the one who tells her. Her ex-boyfriend was a jerk who kept secrets from her and a few other things and-"
"Did he hurt her?" Marco narrowed his eyes as they flashed a hellish red, "What else did this ex-boyfriend of hers do to Star? I won't hesitate to-"
"He's a demon named Tom Lucitor, he's the prince of the underworld and…look man, it's not my place to tell you anything about him…if B-fly wants you to know about him, she'll tell you, but you shouldn't force it," Marco growled and slowly nodded, "Alright, I'm going back to the others…I'll keep your little issue from the others, but if B-fly asks, I'm going to tell her to go to you and you really shouldn't lie to her,"
"I don't think I can even if I wanted to, but thanks," Pony Head hummed and nodded before she turned and floated away.
A few minor issues arose in this chapter. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
