20 Chapeter 19: Encounter

Pov: Marceline

one of my earliest memories

It's my mother singing me a song

She always sang it to put me to sleep

I love that song, but when she 'dumped' me, I thought I'd hate to hear it again.

I thought it was my fault, for being like my father

I had no one and I was lost

In the middle of an empty city and not knowing what to do

but i was saved

by a boy and a strange old man haha

Their names were Simon and Blanche petrikov

They gave me the happiest moments of my life

To Hambo

they gave me back the love for the song that my mother sang to me

They showed me that I'm not a monster

They taught me many things and gave me advice when I needed it

They really became my family

Although I saw them more as a father and my best friend

I always thought we'd be together forever

Until that day

Simon could no longer continue with us, the magic that the crown gave him was driving him crazy and he could no longer control his powers

That was another wound to my heart

First my parents split up, then my mom left me and then that?

everything was awful

The only consolation I had left was...Blanchie

just thinking of his name fills my heart with anger and sadness

After Simon left, he sang me a strange bedtime song.

At that time I did not understand what it meant

Until the next morning

My silly father went through the wall with an ax and gave me a letter... that damn letter

Full of pure excuses to get away from me

He .... promised me that he would always be by my side

He lied to me

But that's not the main reason for my anger

I'm angry because he didn't see me as a friend or a colleague capable of taking care of herself

He saw me as a helpless little girl that he needed to protect.

he despised me

But at the same time I... I feel sad, Simon, his father had to leave, his mother disappeared and the idiot thought that I would stay safe if he stayed away from me

I can understand the reasons

I'm the only thing left to him...

he has fear

he is afraid of what could happen to me

That damn nerd always trying to face everything alone

The only reason why I stayed with my father, besides the affection I developed for him in these 7 years

it was because he was my ticket to more power, he was like the king of hell or something, I didn't care too much

But he could make me more powerful

So I spent these 7 years training with him, learning everything I could.

All to prove to Blanchie that he was wrong.

But I'll still hurt him

and then I will make him understand his mistakes

How am I going to do it?

Easy, I'll put him in a hospital bed

So he will have to apologize

After I make him apologize to me about 100 times

Maybe I'll consider forgiving him

Why forgive him so easily? (almost kill him)

Well I guess love softens people (I repeat, she wants to leave him half dead)

And now I know just where to find him

In my search for information to find him, I came across some vampires that I killed easily.

I learned a lot of magic and several ways to cut heads with the ax that my dad gave me

Not long ago I met a vampire different from the previous ones, he looked like a gnome and could fly

When he saw me he said something that finally gave me a clue to Blanchie's location.

(flash back)

Pulling out my stake buried in the ground after finishing off a vampire, I was about to continue on my way.

But a strange flying gnome appeared in front of me, cutting my way

"Wow~ another hunter? What good news, now the four eyes will have a friend, hey do you want to play hide and seek?

"The other never wants, a very 'cold' attitude on his part, don't you think? Haha, do you understand? for the ice?

As incredibly annoying as the dwarf was, his words exactly matched the idiot I'm looking for.

"Hey you, silly vampire! I'll play with you if you tell me where the other hunter is, what do you think?"

"Really~? Finally someone fun"

"The other one is protecting the humans near the coast, now let's play let's go~, remember not to spy yes?"

The midget vampire flew off into the city, possibly to hide from me.

-End of flashback-

After that I just found him pretty easily, the idiot was still laughing even hidden

He was inside a van so he couldn't escape my stake

My father taught me a lot about my demon powers, like being able to steal the soul or essence of some special creatures to get their abilities.

After absorbing the essence of the gnome I gained the ability to fly, with that my speed increased several times

Right now I'm flying towards the coast at high speed, I can finally make that stupid nerd see reason

Pov: Blache

After looking at the sky for a few moments to enjoy the silence

I started my morning routine

Exercise, eat breakfast, take a bath and talk to the humans in the camp

I haven't had much time to talk to them due to my fights with the court.

But now that I kill Sister Moon, surely they won't come back, it would be suicide

I walked towards the campfire where most of them were having lunch and I sat on a log to wait for my food, while I chatted with Tom

"Hello Blanche, I hope you slept well, I heard you got rid of one of the generals last night, that's amazing news"

After the development of my powers, I stopped being so cautious with my information

I no longer cared if the vampire king knew things about me, now I am more powerful than him.

So I gave my name to the humans who until recently only knew me as 'the hero' or 'the hunter'

Tom and I even formed a friendship, although it's normal after spending 4 years together.

My relationship with other humans is quite normal, like neighbors

But I get along especially well with the rabbit girl, not only because she reminds me of Finn, she also reminds me of Marcy.

The girl sees me as a kind of older brother and I even sing songs to her when I have time.

"It was a good night Tom, I can finally take a little break, I think I was very focused on the fights to the death"

"And we thank you for that Blanche, we are glad that you join us for lunch, Chemy will be very happy when she wakes up" (the girl's name is not mentioned anywhere, so I named her Chemy)

"Yeah, I haven't spent much time with her, I wonder when that sleepyhead will wake up..."

I could feel a small presence sneaking up behind me but I pretended not to notice.

"Yes...I wonder too"

Old Tom was trying to hold back a smile seeing Chemy stalking me.

"Vampire attack!"

Chemy jumped towards me and pretended to bite me with some plastic vampire teeth that I gave him a long time ago.

"Oh no~, I'm dying ah~~, I was defeated by the powerful Chemy"

I dropped to the ground with Chemy still on my back and pretended to bleed out dramatically.

"Muahaha, I the great Chemy defeated the hero of OOO, now nothing can stop me"

Humans started calling this continent OOO after I accidentally said it

"Oh great Chemy, please forgive us"

Even old Tom played along

"Muahaha!"

"It was a great attack Chemy, but could you stop stepping on me? My back is not as strong as when I was young"

"Haha Blachi but you're still young, can you sing again today? Please~"

Chemy got off my back and asked me excitedly

"I don't know Chemy, how about a story?"

"Wow~ what kind of story? Is it about you??"

"Haha you could say it's something related to me"

"Wow, can we hear the story too Blanche?"

"I have always believed that the duty of humans is to pass on stories to the next generation, so I would love to hear yours"

"I don't see why not, let's get closer, I just want to make it clear that I won't give too many details, treat it like a children's story"

Everyone gathered around the campfire waiting patiently for my narration.

"Okay, this is the story of a man, a family man and historian, his name was Simon..."

(a couple of hours later)

"That was the last song that the man sang to his dear son... knowing that they couldn't stay together for long"

"Well, I think that's enough for today"

"What! But what happened to the child and Marcy, and Simon left? When? What was the child's name? I need to know! Tell me!"

Chemy was quite frustrated, although it was quite obvious that I was the boy, I still wanted to leave my past as a mystery, I think it's cooler that way

I finished the story the night Simon sang to me on the porch, so there was a lot of suspense and doubt, plus I skipped a lot of details.

"Haha I think I'll continue at another time Chemy, a story that is told completely at once is boring"

"Oh~, that's fine, but tomorrow you have to continue, okay?"

"It's alright Chemi"

The girl, satisfied with my answer, went to play in the forest not far from here.

"That was a great story Blanche, I guess that man was your father?"

"Yeah...he's a great man, hey, why don't you tell me about the ship's progress?"

"Oh well, the ship...."

"AHHHHH! GUYS, A VAMPIRE!"

Our conversation was interrupted by the scream of Chemy, who came running from the forest in a panic yelling about a vampire

I quickly grabbed my stake and prepared for a fight, I don't think a weak vampire would be stupid enough to come here to die.

A silhouette floating in the air quickly approached

For some reason I have a bad feeling

"Hey girl! I'm not a stupid vampire! I'm one of the good ones! Look, I'm in the sun!"

The silhouette was a beautiful young woman with long hair shaved at the sides.

My eyes widened more than should be humanly possible.

It was Marceline

"I'm just looking for one person, I heard he was with you guys so..."

Her words stopped when she saw me in front of the group of humans

"Blanchie?..."

It seems that it took her a little to recognize me

"Hello.....Marcy"

A/N: well, here it is, the expected reunion

And about Marceline's forgiveness, she is a mature person and she understands why Blanche left

In addition, Blanche made it clear in the letter the reasons for his departure, if he had left without leaving anything, then she would really hate him

but that doesn't mean she's not angry, she's very, very angry

she won't forgive him easily
