Chapter 1: The Visit
15 years later…
Marlin's POV
I was in my room, I painted it red and I was lucky enough not to starve and just suck the red out of it. I floated to my bed and started playing my axe bass dad has given to me on my 10nth birthday, but lately both of my parents and I weren't exactly 'happy family' not unless you take Leo out of the picture. Leo was my twin brother and all I had to say was that my parents love him. He has good grades, was good and general, helped people and never caused trouble. Unlike me I always like to get in trouble, start trouble and hang out with people that caused trouble. I also didn't have very good grades but they were ok if you asked me. I had 2 friends Alex my best friend, she was always stealing things and was never caught and Mike, he loved to just simply cause trouble for no reason as well as stealing and doing graffiti everywhere writing something. My name is Marlin, my brother Leo, for some reason my mom had the best idea of having our names begin with my dad's initials ML, Marshall Lee. My mom's name is Fionna. My dad is a vampire and my mom a human, I was half of both and Leo stayed as a human.
"Marlin time for dinner!" I heard my Mom yell.
"Coming!" I really didn't get why we had to eat together, sure it was nice and all but what was the point when the only thing you could eat is red? You could never taste anything that wasn't red.
I floated downstairs and I saw Leo help mom in the kitchen.
"Hey Marlin." He saw me and I just waved and smiled but it rapidly went away. I saw dad and he was also floating around the house cleaning the hard to reach places.
"Hey dad, mom, Leo." I told them before I sat down.
"What are we having for dinner?" I asked as if I didn't know.
"Oh, were taking this food to your aunt Cake's house, we're all having dinner there today." My mom replied. Great. Just what I needed, to carry Leo all the way there, I asked a few times if I could carry mom but they wouldn't let me and I knew why.
Flashback
3 years ago…
"Come on kids time to go to aunt Cake's house." My mother said. It was 8:00, we usually went by this time since dad couldn't step into the sun. Me and Leo were 12. I had to carry Leo there since he wasn't like me and dad.
"Ready Leo?" I asked.
"Yep, let's fly!" I held him by one of his hands and we left like that. In the middle of our travel I decided to have a little fun and dropped Leo. My parents were scared to death but I did catch him.
"She did it on purpose!" Leo yelled , once we descended to 'figure' out the problem, which wasn't very normal for him since he was always a good kid.
"Marlin did you?" My mother asked.
"No." I replied as confident as possible.
"Marlin?" Asked my dad in a serious tone, seriously you don't want to get into dad's bad side.
'Yes." I muttered looking at the ground. After that we talked about how that was 'dangerous' and 'not funny' it was. I really didn't give a crap about it though.
After that my mother was basically afraid of me. I wouldn't blame her. In my eyes I'm basically a demon.
End of Flashback
'Come on Leo let's get this over with." I told him heading outside.
"You're not going to drop me this time are you?" He looked at me skeptically.
"Why would I? It's too 'dangerous'." I said quoting dangerous with my fingers.
"Marlin." He said sternly.
"I'm not going to drop you and give it up already that was 3 years ago! "
"Fine." He took my hand and we started to fly into the dark sky.
At aunt Cake's house:
Marlin's POV:
There was a nice smell inside but why would I care? I was only going to be able to eat red stuff. I always liked the family reunion, especially aunt Marceline. She's the only one that really understands me. We would always hang out; she had more of a teen spirit if you asked me. Always roaming around.
"Aunt Marceline!" I saw and floated towards her giving her a hug.
"Hey there Mar Mar !" She called by that nickname and non-surprisingly so did a few others to her.
Short Flashback
"Mar Mar!" My uncle Finn called. Me and my aunt Marceline were outside the tree house laughing at some jokes. We saw that Uncle Finn came out the house.
"What?" We said in unison, and then we stared at each other.
"Whoa." Uncle Finn backed away, me and aunt Marceline broke into a fit of laughter. I bet he was feeling awkwardly so he went back to the house. We never knew who he was calling for after all and we never asked.
End of flashback
"What are we going to do today aunt Marceline?" I asked as we descended.
"Marlin!" I heard from my dad I looked toward aunt Marceline who just shrugged her shoulders. I went towards my dad with aunt Marceline close behind.
"Yes dad?" I asked looking a bit worried.
"Where were you? You just left your brother outside to carry most things himself."
"I was aunt Marceline dad, she needed me." Me and aunt Marceline would always lie to my dad if things go bad.
"With what?" He looked at me enraged for leaving Leo but all I can say is that they are treating him like a little boy and we are freaking 15! I know I was born first but that doesn't change anything.
"Don't worry Marshall Lee; I needed her to help me with something."
'Fine you two are off the hook this time." He looked at us both with menacing eyes and left.
"For the millionth time" I added and we started laughing once more. We went outside as usual and I saw everyone greeting Leo.
"Hey there Leo!" Uncle Finn and uncle Jake said.
"Uncle Finn! Uncle Jake!" He took his fist out for a fist pump and they took it. I always thought everyone loved Leo and it was true but I never cared. Aunt Marceline said I was her favorite anyways.
Once we were outside we went to the roof and laid down there like we always did, just look at the stars and worry about nothing.
"Aunt Marceline, do you think that they love Leo better than me?" I stared at the stars not wanting to look at her.
"Why do you say that Marlin?" She was also looking at the stars; if it was up to me I would have moved in with her in a heartbeat.
"Well, every time there's a family reunion everyone is always towards Leo, watching his latest moves, feeling proud of him. Even our parents. Heck, even our own mother is afraid me, I just feel like no one loves me. Maybe they had when I was younger but ever since I turned 12 I became different. And so did the people around me, they would never want to get near me. Me and Leo are just complete opposites and something tells me that everyone likes him better in every way and they don't see nothing special in me." I felt tears running down my cheeks and I barely ever cried I just couldn't keep that much longer, I had to tell someone and like I said before aunt Marceline is the only one who really actually understands me.
"Don't think that Marlin or else everyone will also think that. You are very special, you actually show who you really are and express yourself something that I bet Leo can't do. Now let's say we go find ourselves a wolf pack to join." I smiled at her and we both flew off without a word to anyone.
Later…
"Wow that was better than last time Aunt M." We found a big wolf pack and became their leader but then gave them back their other one.
"I know we should do that more often. Remember-"
"Marlin where were you?" I saw dad standing in front of the door his mad face on which wasn't a good sign.
"I-I was with aunt-"
"Just stop Marlin, you think everything is all fun and games don't you? Well it isn't!"
"Dude chill, we weren't doing anything bad just calm down, nothing happened." Aunt Marceline was getting closer to dad trying to calm him down.
"No, nothing is ok; a monster came in here and wrecked the whole place!" I just noticed that some things were in flames and there was smoke in most places.
I saw him pinch his nose; as if he could breathe. "Thank goodness Leo was here; he was able to destroy that monster." I looked in back of him were mom was helping Leo get up; all his scratches and bruises showing his victory. Then I completely lost it.
"You know what? I'm sick of this! Leo this, Leo that. Ok, I get it he is the perfect thing in the world! He is perfection! But what about me huh, what do you two think about me? That I'm the laziest girl you ever saw, that I'm just trouble, that I can't do anything or that I'm just a monster? You two never tell me how you feel about me! Only how Leo is the best. You know what? I'm just going to go so you can live your picture perfect life with your perfect son." I stormed off not looking at my parents or anyone else's. I wasn't going anywhere specifically, just going anywhere from there, find the real me and just get away from it all. I never said or thought when I was coming back; I was just leaving until I wanted to return.
"Marlin! Come back!" I took off from what was left of the porch and headed off to wherever the wind would take me; I didn't look back for one second.
Marshall Lee POV
"Marlin! Come back!" She left; she flew away from us. I just realized how right she was, me and Fionna never told her great she is, her fun loving characteristics, how funny she can be, nothing. It was mostly about Leo.
"Should I go get her dad?" I turned around seeing Leo getting ready to take off in search for his sister. Like Fionna he also wore blue but he never wore a hat. He let his blond hair out.
"Yes, go find her Leo and take her home immediantly. I will go search somewhere else." I started floating above ready to go after her but a hand around my arm wouldn't let me.
"Don't do it Marshall Lee." Marceline was stuck firmly on the ground and kept her hand on my arm.
"Marceline I have to look for Marlin." I tried to keep on flying even with her on my arm but she wouldn't let go for even a second. She only made her grip tighter.
"Marshall, Leo, don't. First of all you need to take care of Fionna, Marshall. Let Marlin go, just for a while, let herself find out who she really is. It's not her fault she never heard anything that made her feel special. Just let her find herself. Don't worry she will come back, I promise." Marceline looked at me with pleading eyes. She might be my younger sister but even she knew Marlin better than I do. If Marceline was still a teenager, and she still looks a bit like one, I would guess that she and Marlin would be best friends.
"10, I'll give her 10 days; if she doesn't return until then I will go look for her. You know who might want to find her." I assured her who was after us. I didn't want Marlin to be in danger. Not because of the poor choices I made.
"Fine, just stay calm Marshall I know she will be ok. She knows how to take of herself now. I'm sure she'll know trouble when she sees it." I was looking back at Leo who was confused with all this. I shook my head; telling him not to go after all. He nodded in agreement.
"Hopefully and you're right; again, you know who is looking for us. If they find her, they won't be happy, they're still looking for us, they want us back and you know it."
"Who cares if they want us back we never needed them." I left with that said not wanting to look at Marceline. I went straight to Fionna who was crying in what was left of the couch.
"Marlin is right Marshall, we never did appreciate her. She is my only daughter and I only looked after her brother. I'm a horrible mother Marshal." She had her hands on her face.
"You're not a bad mother Fionna, it's my fault. She is more like me, I should have at least stick with her, tell her how to control herself. She is also one of the last vampires, even if she is half vampire. It's only me, Marceline and her."
"I want her back Marshall; I want to ask for her forgiveness. She deserves better."
"She will be back but we will have to let her go just for now. She could go see her real path; she'll come back to let us know don't worry."
"Fine; it's just I feel so horrible. I don't know how I could let this happen."
"We're ready to go look for her Fionna." Finn and Leo were in back of me, both all packed up. Finn also, didn't wear his hat anymore like Fionna and Leo.
"No, we're going to let her go. If she doesn't return in 10 days we'll start looking. Leo I already told you not to go anymore." I never scolded Leo but if I did it to Marlin it was his turn as well.
"But Marshall you know who's looking for you and Marceline. If they find Marlin they won't hesitate to use her." I didn't need to be reminded of this anymore I knew well who wanted us.
"I know Finn but Marlin has be alone now, I think it's for the best."
"Marshall are you sure?" I looked at Fionna; her eyes gleaming from all her tears.
"I know it will be difficult but yes. We have to let her go Fionna."
