Chapter one – Fiona

I awoke to the smell of bacon and pancakes drifting into my nostrils.

"Fiona, Fiona! Get up! I've cooked you breakfast" I heard Cake call from the second floor of the tree house. Gradually, I sat up, stretched with a yawn and hopped out of bed and made my way downstairs.

"Morning Cake, what's with the big breakfast?" I asked.
"Prince Gumball has sent us on some sort of mission, something to do with rescuing a village in the forest" Cake replied shrugging her shoulders as she placed two plates of bacon pancakes on the table.
"Now sit down Fi and tuck in, you're practically drooling," she laughed. I shook my head and smirked as I sat at the table.

After the hearty breakfast and packing my backpack for this 'mission' we headed out the door. I must admit I thought it was strange for P.G to send us on a mission this way, normally he would send the guards from the candy kingdom to collect us and take us to the palace.
"Cake, where exactly has P.G sent us...?" I ask furrowing my brow in slight confusion.
"Well he sent a telegram to the tree house, look I'll show it you"
Cake handed me a yellow piece of paper that read;

'My dearest Fiona and Cake,

I have heard information that a village is being harassed by a large creature somewhere on the edge of The Spooky Forest.

Please take care of it; I know you'll do a good job.

Yours, Prince Gumball'

"Don't you think it sounds a little odd Cake?" I ask.
"It's fine Fi nothing's going to happen, this is obviously important to P.G" Cake replies as I climb onto her back and she stretched her legs so that I'm 20 foot into the air.
"It just doesn't sound like him…normally he sends for us to go to the palace" I say.
"Look Fi, P.G is probably just busy doing science stuff and sent us this, C'mon now there's a village in danger" I ignore my doubt and agree with Cake, I begin to notice that the sun is setting as we edge closer to The Spooky Forest. Cake slows down and shrinks back to normal size, I climb off her back.
"lt's getting dark Cake, Are we nearly there? You know how I hate this place…it gives me the creeps"
I fold my arms and shiver a little as I feel a chilled breeze.
"Oh glob, Fi I think we're lost," Cake sighs. "I don't see anything that I recognise; I'm starting to think you were right about doubting this mission"
"Cake! What the glob! Now what the heck are we going to do?!" I yell.
"Look lets set up camp here" Says Cake as we enter an opening in the forest.
"Fine" I sigh "I'll go collect some fire wood" I say moodily as I look around for dry sticks and twigs.

As I sit by the fire I watch Cake Drift off to sleep. I glance around at the trees that seem to loom over us. Feeling scared, I slide over to snuggle against Cake warm, fuzzy fur to comfort me. For some reason, which I can't seem to put my finger on, The Spooky Forest has always given me the creeps.
Suddenly I hear rustling in the bushes I gasp loudly then it stops. I try to relax again when a breeze seems to gush out of now where and blows out the fire. With my heart beginning to pound I edge as close as I can to Cake.

I know there's now waking her once she's asleep so I drape her long bushy tail over me as a pathetic attempt of protection. More rustles and then a twig snaps, my heartbeat races even more. I can feel it pounding against my chest. That's when I decide to 'man up' as they say. I stand up and even though I'm terrified, I put on fake confidence in the tone of my voice as I call out;
"Who's there? Show yourself. Or are you afraid of being beaten up by a girl?"

An unexpected voice sounds out "I don't need to fight you; I can sense your fear. I can smell it and it's fuelling my fire"

I stand frozen. Now what am I going to do?

This is my first fanfiction, I encourage anyone to leave your opinion and suggest improvements etc. If I get enough reviews I'll write the second chapter which is in Marshall Lee's POV.

Thanks a lot! :)
