Chapter One: Thoughts
Marceline POV
I woke up as usual, yawning, as I go to the bathroom. Just another lifeless day. I look at my reflection in the mirror, and look at my dead self. Why did my father marry my mother to have me? Now I'm a demonic vampire who's supposed to be vicious and deadly. But I'm more than that. I choose to be good because I don't want to be seen as an evil vampire who wants to suck the life out of everyone. Even when I act like the good guy, people are still afraid of me. They look at me with disgust, like they want to sue me or something.
My little stuffed toy Hambo, was the most treasured thing in my whole life, until that jerk, Ash, sold it to some scrawny little witch. All he thinks about is himself, getting potions from strange creatures, and calling me stupid. I don't even know how I caught up with him. My best friend Bonnibel, the princess of the candy kingdom, helped me get Hambo back from Maja, the sky witch. Bubblegum and I had a complicated, weird relationship in the past, but we never actually brought it up. We're still good friends, though we treat each other like we hate each other, like when the Door Lord took all our things.
The reason why I loved Hambo so much is because of my past. He was my only friend back when I was just a kid. He was given to me as a gift. Simon gave him to me. During the mushroom war, my father, Simon, and I were the only known survivors, because we're immortal. My mother didn't make it though.
My memories were the only thing that made me happy sometimes, now that Simon, was turned into the Ice King because of that magical crown. He's my part of my family.
I'm over a thousand years old, and I'm just living alone in a cave. I'm stuck in the land of Ooo, because I don't want to rule the Nightosphere. My father tried to trick me in making me wear that amulet that turns you into chaotic evil. So I had to stay in this land. I have a twin brother, Marshall, and he lives in Aaa, the alternate world of Ooo. He dated Ash's sister, Ashley, but dumped her, after he figured out she was cheating. He now lives with his human girlfriend Fionna, the twin sister of Finn.
I never really thought about dating anyone for a while, but then again I'm alone, so I guess I have to open up to new people and form new relationships. I thought about guys who I knew, but all I got was Gumball, Ash, people who wanted to court me in the Nightosphere, and Finn. I thought about each one of them, until I was completely bored. I thought about Finn, but my thoughts were interuppted when I heard a knock on the door. I washed up, took a bath, changed into new fresh clothes, and headed downstairs. When I went to the door, I peeked at the small window to see who was it. To my suprise, It was Finn.
I opened the door awkwardly, and we face each other.
"Oh hey, Finn." I started.
"Marceline." He replied, looking a bit nervous.
"What is it?"
He looked at me like he had something to tell me. But he looks dreamy. He turned eighteen a few months ago, and he changed a lot. I guess he went through puberty. He wasn't the same old thirteen year old I used to pick on. He's grown up. He dooesn't have his old bear hat anymore, but he wears it as a hoodie. Maybe I could warm up to him. Maybe. Would he like that? Would I? My face was focused on him, then he gave me a stern look. Then I remembered he was with Flame Princess.
"Step inside, Finn."
He steps inside cautiously and looks around, until he finally sits down. I went and sat beside him, and I see that he's hiding something behind his back.
"Finn, what's behind your back?" I ask.
"Well I wanted to suprise you."
"Suprise me for what?"
He pulls the thing behind his back, and hands it to me.
"Happy Birthday, Marceline!" He tells me.
My birthday! All those thoughts made me forget my birthday. I smile at his gesture.
"Thanks Finn, I forgot. I thought no one would remember."
"No problem." He replies.
The situation became a little awkward, just staring at each other, like we had a bond or a connection. I started to feel weird, so I finally ask him things.
"So Finn, was this the only purpose of you going here?" I ask.
"Um, I've just been wondering..."
"Wondering what, Finn?"
"I've been meaning to tell you that-"
He was cut off by the door being flew open by Bubblegum.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCELINE! I BROUGHT-" She stopped.
She looks confused at first, staring at Finn and I, just quiet on the couch.
"Did I disturb anything?" She asks.
That's the first chapter! I would love reviews! The next chapter's coming out tomorrow okay!
