_~Bittersweet Love~_

*Hey everyone this is my first Fan-Fiction so you can drop the Criticism hammer when needed but do it softly I dont want you guys to put out my fire before it grows. And ENJOY!*

Alone, emptiness, and sadness, all of this gripping him like the darkness that gripped the air around him. It was suffocating yet oddly pleasing, the one lone sound heard was his heart beating through out his body. But as soon as the feeling of ecstasy took over, muffled screams were heard from all around paralyzing the adventurer in his place.

"Ffffiiiinnnn, save us finn, protect us finn from the darkness". The voices echoed in his mind. Then silence, a menacing silence. He coward in fear shaking the voices around in his head. The voices continued.

"Please Finn save us, don't let the darkness consume us Finn". He cant take this anymore. 'Make the voices go away, GO AWAY!'. And as if by command of his words a light above him turns on expelling the darkness away from him. It was blinding he quickly covered his eye's letting them adjust. He stands up looking around but only seeing darkness. The smell of apples and strawberries filled the room. It was pleasant more uplifting then the voices. Faint noises are heard behind the adventurer, they slowly get louder. Getting so close that they might as well be right next to him on his shoulder. They were giggles, those of a female ever so close to him.

"Hey Finn, what are you doing?". The voice was soft, and delicate, as light as air. His face became flustered and hot.

"Finn! Hey Finn wake up". The voice did a complete one-eighty it was deeper, and heavier. He fell to the ground as everything began to shake, the world was collapsing. Finn closed his eye's as the light crashed to the ground.

"FINN! Dude wake up!". He quickly opened his eye's and bright lights filled the darkness. Before him his best friend Jake standing over him shaking him by his shoulders.

"H-huh? What is going on, and why are you screaming?" Finn protested while pushing Jake off of his person.

"Dude its two o'clock in the afternoon man, you never sleep this late"

"I was having a pretty crazy dreams, I cant even explain how bonkers it was!" He wiggles his arms in emphasis. Jake laughs and jumps off the bed.

"Must of been amazing you were making some pretty funny sounds" Jake laughs and stretch's to the ladder.

"Now come down stairs and get some lunch, I made something special"

"Yeah, i'll be down in a sec let me get dressed"

"Gotcha" Jake slides down the ladder into the dining room with out a sound. Finn sits there shedding his sleeping clothes and dawns his adventure attire. 'Hey Finn, what are you doing?' The soft voice replays through out his head, until its cut off by the sound of a crash. Finn rush's to the ladder and slides down.

"Jake! Jake what happened? You ok man?" His questions shot off like arrows in the night.

"Yeah man i'm fine, it was just a plate" Jake laughs and turns is hands into a broom and dust pan, sweeping up the broken plate. After Jake disposed of the broken plate they both sat down at the table where Jake revealed his surprise for lunch. It was a cake with colors of blue, and gold. Spelling "Happy Birthday Finn!" He was shocked how could he forget his own birthday? He was seven-teen now, getting ever so close to adult hood. For two hours they played and sang, and enjoyed Finns small party to the fullest. Jake played music he had never heard of, some bands like "Coldplay, and Relient K" He explained they were before the mushroom war and how he got them from Princess Bubblegum. At one point Finn sat before his piece of cake and let out a sigh. If only all of his friends could be here to enjoy his seven-tenth birthday like how he and Jake are. Guess it just means more cake for the both of them!

Finally the duo were are all partied out, Jake wished Finn one more happy birthday and left to go back home to his wife, Lady Rainicorn. Finn was now alone in his treehouse. Where can he go? Princess Bubblegum is busy all this week with her trip. BMO is off entertaining Jakes children. That leaves only one person left, Marceline. He chuckled and quickly grabbed his pack and jolted out the door, sprinting over the grasslands with ease. He didn't understand why he liked visiting Marceline so much. 'She's just a radical dame who likes to play games'. The thought stuck in his mind, and before he knew it he stood outside the menacing cave. Just the look alone would of drove and normal person away but they don't know about what lives inside. 'And even if they did, I guess they would still be scared'. He chuckles to himself and enters into the darkness letting his eye's adjust again. a single light came from the window of her house, from the living room window. His heart began to beat faster as he approached the home of the Vampire Queen.
