Quick Author's Note:

If you haven't noticed, the italicized words indicate thought. I know in my other stories it's usually minor thoughts and emphasized words, however this story is written in third person so i thought it necessary. Just thought I'd mention this in case of confusion :)

And also, Marshall Lee isn't going to be a demon in this story! I just thought it'd be a little too cliché. I cannot even tell you how many different stories I've read where the protagonist of a plot falls for someone who seems to be on the enemies side! Though, I'm sure many of you have read a bunch of these, whether they were fanfictions or not :/

…I guess I prefer to be unpredictable! XD

Chapter Two: New School, First Impressions

Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time

5:30 a.m. One hour before the slayer must venture to the world of high school. More specifically, "The Academy of Advanced Arts," where all of the large town's gifted youth attends. Rather than prepping for the day ahead, the blonde continues to viciously toss and turn in a restless slumber.

Sheets scatter about the room, cold sweat trickles down the young woman's temple, limbs thrash around reaching out for some source of comfort, but none is found. Rather than any dream or nightmare, horrid memories continue to echo and haunt the girl's mind-devouring any sanity she had managed to grasp over time. Bits and pieces of shattered themes reiterating within the dark confines of her suppressed memory, the constant echo shakes her entire being-

"She will be the strongest" Trying to fight off the plaguing dream, her hands fold into fists, gripping until her knuckles transition to a searing shade of white,

"She will kill!" Fionna's stiff body jolts to life, tearing her away from the relentless dream; a sigh escapes her peachy plump lips. Huffing, she inhales deeply then follows through by releasing the deep intake. Will the dreams ever end?

Blue irises dance across the room and rest on an old cracked mirror from across her bed. Fionna shakily lifts herself up and strides to the bronze rimmed mirror with a slight stagger. Straightening herself, she clamps each hand on either side of the frame against the sturdy wall. Her attention hesitantly averts to that of the glass, peering into her own reflection. Sure enough, her eyes are that of a very dark inky blue-she barley distinguishes where her pupil begins and ends. Her grip painfully tightens. I won't let it possess me!

Screwing her eyes shut, she stamps out the excess tormenting thoughts that have her on hay wire. Breathe in. She sucks in a breath. Breathe out. The exhales bounces off the dull gray walls. I am in control!
Shooting up her head to the cracked and dusty mirror once more, mouth set in a firm line, brows knitted in determination, Fionna opens her eyes once more, relieved to see what displays in front of her. No longer the inkiness of blue that practically consumes her pupil, no longer the bright and joyful sapphire that the girl had come accustomed to as a young child, but the border line hazy, lifeless midnight blue stare that seems to have become the balance of the two. Fionna drops her arms to her sides; her entire being loosens, alleviating the previous fright. Turning round, her lax gaze darts to the bright blue digital clock; time for school.

Large crisp white buildings dominates the lot, students idly walk to and fro the different scattered buildings. Many 'popular' students stride with a slight skip indicating that they 'own' the school, some walk merrily by with not but a care in the world, some strut in an intimidating matter asking to be messed with, others dart their attention with high alert with their persona dripping in fear. The young slayer continues to observe in that calculating matter yet again, she stiffly follows the bright brick pathway leading into the school's gates. Typical high school life.

Clad in the school's dark blue and gray uniform, Fionna makes her way through the iron passage way when not but feet away she hears,

"Alright, fresh meat! I'm the boss around here! Step out of line and you'll have the pleasure of meeting my fist! Do as I say and maybe your life won't be a living hell for the next year! Any questions?!" A shrill voice laced with venom that of teenaged girl shouts. The slayer's stride halts,

"Just because you're a senior doesn't mean-ouch!" The slightly premature voice of a girl gets cut off as the senior in question viciously pulls the brunette down against the asphalt by her hair. Fionna shifts her attention to the scene beside her, her glare shone in that of a different expression, shocking bright sapphire reaching the surface as a hell fire ignites within her being. Here comes Fionna, the heroine,

"Hey bitch!" The white haired senior or said 'bitch' meets Fionna's frosty glare.

"What'd you call me just now?!" Unfazed Fionna marches up to the bully with a stone fiery glare.

"You think you can just act like you're better than these kids just because, for whatever reason, you think you own the place?! Let me tell you, you're just some snobby tyrant with no bark to her bite who goes and preys on people who you know are weaker! Who won't have the nerve to stand up to you!

"People like you really irritate me! And I'm not going suppress myself from throwing up the entire year listening to your 'reign of the school!" The scarily thin senior in response, releases the hair of the brunette, stepping up in suite,

"Listen up honey, my name is Ashley. Remember that. Step out of line again, and I'd be happy to show you your place. This is my territory and I'm not going to be shown up by some blonde haired bimbo new girl. You might think you're tough by standing up to me and calling me out, but you're not and you never will be. Got it?" The last of Ashley's response comes out more of a growl and is barely coherent. The other girls visibly shake as what seems to be the rest of the school's student body circles round the scene, straining to hear every last word spilling out of the blonde and the 'queen' of the school.

Straightening herself even further, Fionna doesn't back off, she proceeds to step up-which evidently, emphasizes the major height difference of the tall white haired bully and the average height Fionna.

"Either leave these girls alone, or fight me. That is, unless you're scared" The blonde quirks an eye brow mockingly as the 'queen' flushes in anger, Ashley steps back and fists a pale manicured hand readying to punch her new found enemy. Sloppily, she reels her slightly scrawny arm back with all her might and releases her blunt attack to the blonde-

"Is that all you've got?" Ashley's hand makes a loud slapping sound as it collides into Fionna's firm palm. The surrounding students resound in murmurs of astonishment as the new girl catches Ashley's punch. No pain shown what so ever. In a blind furry, the bully struggles as she attempts to land a hard kick to the blonde, but instead, her face is met with the hard ground.

"For someone who likes to pick fights, you sure can't fight" Fionna exclaims mockingly as she roughly pins Ashley to the hard ground.

All the students stare in shock, jaws slack, and eyes wide. In the midst of all of this, a certain raven haired boy reacts in suit as his so called 'friends' nudge him,

"Your girlfriend just got her ass handed to her!" After the chilling pause, a clap resounds, followed by more claps, followed by cheers, and soon, the whole student body celebrates joyfully towards the recently played out event. A small smirk grows on the boy's features.

Fionna stills in response to the cheering. How long had they been standing there? She releases her iron grip and gets up rather stiffly; her eyes become half lidded as the adventuring shock of sapphire dissipates once more into a midnight haze. Her shoulders slack down as if to rid the tension as she calmly vacates the scene, not caring that all eyes are currently boring into her in a confused manner. No one dares to follow.
