A Grey Hearted Vampire

Chapter Two

You woke in the morning with the worst case of bed head you had ever seen. You must of been tossing and turning a LOT because you look like you had been in a fight with a bear. you pull a black beanie over your (long/short) hair before climbing down the ladder and making yourself a waffle. You sit and eat, wondering if you actually ran into Marshall Lee last night or if you were just overtired.

Suddenly, an urgent knock on the door surprises you. You open it to see Fionna standing at your door alone, not even Cake was with her.

"Hey! What are you doing here so early?" You ask as Fionna pulls you out the door.

"No time for questions! Finns missing! c'mon!" Fionna yelled, yanking you outside and running towards the candy kingdom, probably to get Princess Bubblegum.

When you arrived, PB was standing in the centre of the kingdom, talking to Prince Gumball. You really didn't like that gumwad...

"PB! Finn's missing!" Fionna yelled.

"What? How do you know he is missing?" PB asked. Gumball turned and looked at Fionna, a little starry eyed. Guess he didn't know that she had a boyfriend.

"Well, Finn told me to come get him tomorrow morning so we could go find a dungeon, so I went over, and he wouldn't answer the door. I found it unlocked and he wasn't anywhere to be found! Jake is still searching through the house and Cake is calling Mo-chro to do an arial search." Fionna finished looking like she was gonna cry.

You patted her on the back and said "its okay, everything's gonna be fine."

"I will assemble the banana guards and do a search. (your name), please search the caves by the forest. He might be hiding in there. Or worse, hurt in there." PB said before running to get the banana guards.

You run to the caves. They are carved into a dark blue stone if some kind, and glisten in the sun. You enter the cave and find its so dark, you can't see anything. You stumble, walking slowly, before you trip...

And fall...

And feel your head...

Hit the ground...

And a wave of pain like you've never felt hits you like a hurricane and makes you black out.

"Hey! Are you awake?" you hear a woman's voice ask you.

You open your eyes to see a vampire woman, almost like Marshall lee, with long black hair and a grey tank top.

"Um, yeah. Just, hit my head pretty bad." You mumble, still feeling excruciating pain in your head.

"Yeah, I could tell. When I found you, you were scrunched up in a ball in a pool of blood. By the way, I'm Marceline." Marceline said, smirking.

"Are, are you a vampire?" you ask, suddenly curious.

"Yeah, half vampire, a little demon mixed in."

"So, do you know anyone called Marshall Lee?" you ask.

"Yeah, I've heard of him, but never met him. He's even more secretive than me." Marceline said, wiping some blood off your face with a damp cloth.

"I've heard..." you mumble.

"Well, your wound isn't as bad as I thought it would be. You can crash here for a few days if you need to." Marceline said, smiling.

"Thanks."

In a few days, your good as new. just a few scrapes and scars. You are happy to hear that they found Finn in Ice Queen's lair, and Fionna punched her square in the nose. You laughed at that part.

"Oh honey I was worried about you!" Cake said, wrapping herself around Finn.

"Yeah, Ice Queen is an insane weirdo." Finn said laughing.

You laugh too and Fionna kisses Finn on the cheek. Jake raises his eyebrows.

"I'm hungry. I'm gonna go home and get something to eat, let you two bond." you say to Fionna and Finn before heading back to your place.

You dig into some leftover (food) and think about how long you were gone, three, four days? Doesn't matter, your fine now. It's pretty late now, about ten. You sit on your porch and stare at the stars. You remember the one time Flame Prince actually created another star in the sky. That was pretty cool. You smiled, and stared back at the dazzling stars.

"Beautiful, aren't they?"

You scream and turn, to see Marshall Lee standing behind you.

"The stars, I like them. Not as bright as the sun, so I can look at them." Marshall says, his red eyes staring intently at the brightest star.

"Uh, yeah. They're beautiful." You stutter.

Marshall laughs. "You don't have to be nervous around me. I don't hang around anyone else in Aaa. What's your name?"

"(Your name)."

"That's a nice name."

You smile a little, Marshall is really cute. Marshall sits down next to you and you both gaze at the stars before you break the silence.

"Are you really the 'Vampire King'?"

"Yeah, it's pretty cool. That's kinda how everyone recognizes me. No one really knows my real name, except for Fionna." Marshall said, turning his head to gaze at you.

You smile a little, and Marshall slowly grabs your hand. You blush a dark red and Marshall laughs.

"You're pretty cool, wanna hang out tomorrow night?" Marshall asks.

"Sure! Meet you...?" you ask.

"What about you meet me at the clearing in the forest." Marshall

"Okay! meet you then!" you say excitedly, and Marshall winks at you before he flies off into the night.

You sigh and go inside, crashing on the plush (color) couch.

Dreaming about waltzing with a vampire.
