Betrayed lies
~ Chapter 1: A rainy day ~
Skies a dark shade of gray, thunder striking in mid-air, and the rain was pounding the windows harshly like rocks. Marshall Lee was relaxing on the couch. It had a dark blue tone to it, it was small, but could suit two people. He had his head on the arm rest on the left side, with his feet elevating on the other arm of the couch. Very exhausted Marshall had no energy to make his way to his king sized bed upstairs. Half asleep, he was thinking about his life, and how the rain soothed his stress. He wanted to drift away into a deep sleep where he wouldn't wake up for hours, or at all. He started to wonder what life would be like if he were human, and how multiple aspects in his life would change. Change? Was he even ready for change? He thought so deeply on this concept before reality started to become amiss; he almost went into an everlasting rest.
'Knock knock!'
This sudden noise brought Marshall Lee to his feet almost instantly. 'Who could be at the door in this weather?' He thought trying to wake up a little more. His jet black hair was sticking up in weird notions, he wiped away drool off from his cheek, and then rubbed his eyes. Stumbling over to the door, he slowing took hold of the freezing door knob and twisted it.
There she was. Soaked from head to toe in water. It must have been bone-chilly, because she was slightly shivering. Her fare complexion had a perked up smile on it. Her baby blue eyes reflected of the rain-water streaming down her cheeks. Well, you could really only see one eye, because her luscious blonde hair covered one, which was now very damp. Her bunny eared hat began to droop down. Water was dripping off her clothes onto the already wet, cold, harsh surface. She was clenching her two hands together in front of her as if she was holding on to something. Marshall Lee couldn't make out what it was exactly.
"Fionna!? What are you doing here? This is no weather to be adventuring in! Are you crazy? Oh my glob you're going to get ill..." He sighed in slit frustration.
"Ohh-h calm-m down Marsh. I wanted too-o come se-ee you," she said smiling with a slit stutter.
He rubbed his temples as if he had a headache. "Come in please, before you get majorly sick.," he sighed while gesturing to come in.
"Ar-e yy-ou sure? I didn't mean to wa-ake you. I'm so-o sor-ry. I ca-an go..?" She uttered shivering. Fionna stood there with pleading eyes of guilt. Her smile started to dissipate and form into a frown.
"Oh no, it's okay. Really. I can take a nap later. Please, come in, I'd love for you to do so. Plus, we have to get you out of those soggy clothes before you get Pneumonia. I don't want you walking all the way back to your tree house in this weather," he exclaimed in a caring tone with big brown eyes.
She couldn't refuse the offer. He was right. It wasn't like Cake was with her, that she could take her home in about 2 minutes. Her sister wouldn't be home for a week. She went on a vacation with her boyfriend. It's kinda lonely there any how; so frigid, damp, and slightly creepy all at the same time. The weather was increasing in magnitude by each passing second. A crack of lightning flashed across the dismal sky. That was it, she might be tough, strong, and fearless, but when it came to lightning it's not like you can put up your sword, and expect it to protect you. C'mon, really? She hopped inside almost immediately after that. Truth is she wanted to hang out with her one of her buds for a while anyways.
It was so warm in his house, she almost stopped shivering when she entered the small but, decently sized dwelling. She felt welcomed, it was a complex sensation to explain, but it felt...so...safe. Like nothing bad could happen.
Once inside, Marshall Lee hovered into his room and ventured through his disorganized closet Finally, he came across a baggy T-Shirt and a pair of his boxers for Fionna until her clothes were dry. The shirt was an onyx black shade with the words, 'Rock On' placed right across the front, with a white hued skull under it. The boxers were a crimson red color with jungle green lines going horizontally vertically; displaying a plaid like pattern. 'Haha I don't think these types of clothes are her style, but oh well. She can't stay in those drenched clothes either,' He thought in his mind as he floated down-stairs.
"Here you go my friend." He stated firmly, yet friendly.
She was sitting by the fireplace, shivering. She tried to capture warmth from the burning wood, but it didn't help her clothes situation. When she heard a familiar voice echo through her head, she stood up and swerved around with a croaked smile. She began to slowly make her way to the Vampire King.
"The bathroom's upstairs on the left side," he instructed.
The bunny eared teenager snatched the clothes and whispered, "Thanks Marsh," she smile with a slit rosie-ness coming to her cheeks. Marshall just smile and quoted, "No problem."
She stumbled up stairs and found the bathroom. It was an average sized bathroom, but just what she needed to get dressed. First, she had to put down the little gift she brought for Marshall Lee. Fionna would give it to him in a little while. She then started to take off her blue shirt and skirt, then of course her hat. and then her underwear. 'How the glob did I get this drenched in rain water?' She thought while taking off the last bit of clothing. Fionna placed them gently on the towel rack to air dry. She quickly put the over sized T-shirt to cover her female body, then of course the boxers so certain parts of her body were covered. Even no the shirt covered her entire body, she wanted to just be on the safe side. The blonde haired girl look into the mirror and smiled. There was a black comb on the sink, below the mirror reflecting Fionna's smiling face. She grasped the comb and began to brush out all the snarls in her hair from the rain. "Ow," she muttered in pain from the comb pulling her hair. When she finished, her hair looked pretty. Fionna made a couple twirls to make sure she looked good. 'Haha I look so weird in these clothes. But they're soft, comfy, and it has the scent of Marshall lee. It was sure nice of him for letting me wear his clothes,' she had thoughts fluttering through her head and, this one of them. She tilted her head and smiled once more. Then her teeth began to chatter somewhat. She wasn't as freezing as before, but still had a chill making its way up and down her spine.
'Knock! Knock!'
"Are you okay in there? You've been in there for 20 minutes," The gray faced vampire asked in a concerned voice.
'20 minutes!? Dang...' ~ "I'm fine I'll be right out," she said in a reassuring tone.
She opened up the door swiftly and quickly. Fionna was unaware Marshall Lee was right there. She accidentally smashed him in the face with the wooden, bathroom door.
"Oh my God! I'm soooo sorry Marsh! Are you okay?!" She yelled frantically.
He was sitting on the floor rubbing his head. He winced in pain, "I'm fine..." He had his eyes close hoping the upcoming headache wouldn't hit him too hard.
She lend him a hand with a pleading expression and he smiled a little at the kindhearted gesture. He gradually floated up and went to his feet, and her arm went back to her side. The blonde teenager avoided eye-contact; looking away to look at the pale, purpled painted wall.
"Oh c'mon, I'm Marshall Lee, The Vampire King. That was nothing compared what I've encountered in my life. Don't worry about it Fi. I'm okay, really." He smiled, with his fangs exposed.
Fi giggled a little at the thought of this teddy bear being an enemy to society among The Land of Aaa. She looked up at him with bright blue eyes staring into his deep brown ones. She smiled, and a slit blush came to her cheeks. A whirl of butterflies swarmed up inside her. Marshall's eyes got a little bit more wide. Her head stared to lean in little by little. His heart was pounding fast, now his gray cheeks became rosie as well. Marshall Lee had this look of confusion. He wanted to kiss her, but he couldn't...
'BOMB BOMB!'
A strike of lightning came piercing across the dull colored sky. This made the 'mood' become broken, Fionna was snapped back into reality. Her face became so red; she looked away fast and began walking down the stairs. Marshall Lee was glad that the lightning had came at that moment; something in him wanted to kiss her, but another part knew he shouldn't. He placed his cold hand over his cheek; it was hot. His blush hadn't disappeared. He had a blank look pasted on his face. But eventually made his way down stairs.
Fionna grabbed an apple from the fridge and now was sitting on the unsteady stool at the counter of the kitchen. There was window right in the view of her, it was still pouring out. She could spot flashes in the distant, but could not hear the boom sound. It was too far out in The Land of Aaa. She was thinking while taking a bite of her apple. She lost her train of thought when he came down the stairs into the kitchen as well, but instead of a shiny, red apple, he picked out a strawberry. He bit into the brightly colored fruit; his fangs were implanted as he sucked all the primary color out. Now it was just a gray shade. Marshall Lee throw it into the dark blue trash can.
Fionna was still looking out towards the window, nervously devouring her apple. Until she came across the core of it. Her whole body felt a rush, her face felt like it was on fire, and this wasn't a blush. But she eventually she stood up, and tottered to the trash can. Marshall Lee looked at her in a unsure expression; wondering why she was avoiding eye-contact once more. After she successively deposed of her scraps, he began to talk.
"Are you alright Fionna? You seem very quiet." He questioned in a normal stance.
She spat a nervous laugh, "I'm fine, just wondering when the rain will light up," she lied.
The Vampire King frowned. "Why? In a hurry to leave already?" He snapped.
Fionna had a facial expression of worry and confusion. " No..? I just wanted to go on an adventure with you later if you agreed to it. But nevermind I guess.." She said in a saddened voice.
Marshall Lee felt real stupid now, his face had the 'Oh my glob, my bad,' written all over it. He took in a breath, then exhaled slowly. "Ohh, sorry..um..I would love to, but it looks like the storm won't light up anytime soon, so like."
But his statement was cut off my a sneeze created by none other than, Fionna. her eyes got big, and a small blush crossed her cheeks. She smiled nervously, and let out an uneasy laugh, but Marshall Lee had that face of 'I told you so,' but all he said was, "Lie down."
"I'm okay," Fi smiled with a red nose.
"You're really pale," he said while placing his hand over her forehead, "And you have a fever. Please go lie on my bed, I'll help you up the stairs."
"I don't need no help. I'm Fionna the Human with ninja skills," She joked laughing a little but then ending in a tiny cough. Marshall Lee rolled his eyes and smirked.
"Well..okay, so get up 'em stairs then, little lady." Marshall stated.
Next thing you know, you see Fionna trying to balance herself to get over to the stairs. She quickly clanged onto the railing of the stairs, and then waddled up. Marshall Lee was right behind her making sure she wouldn't miss a step and come tumbling down. She was on the 10th step until she tripped over her own feet, and was caught in his arms of him.
"Are you alright? That's it I'm carrying you up there!" He said. He swoops his arms right under her armpits and floated her there. She struggled a few seconds, but her fussiness stopped, just as they were to enter his room.
"Alright now, put me down!" She demanded with a pout.
"Okay, okay, okay your majesty," The Vampire King teased. There was no response. She stood there with a cold expression piercing through Marshall Lee's soul.
"I was only kidding Fi. Sorry," he apologized. She shuck her head as if she was driven back into reality.
"Ohhh, my bad, I kinda zoned out. I don't feel well, can I please lay down now, and maybe have some medicine to make me feel better," she confessed in a very weakened tone. She almost fell onto the carpet, but luckily He caught her before she did. She opened her eyes just a tiny bit; when she did, her face turned a tint of pink of how close her face was to Marshall Lee's. She smile from ear to ear, and then closed her eyes again.
Marshall picked her up and gently laid her on his bed. His comforter was a plum purple, and made of silk. The pillows were fluffy like a cloud, with geese feathers inside. The pillow-cases matched the tone of the comforter. Under that was a light, thin sheet that was white as snow. He tucked her in so she would be able to drift off into a deep sleep. Her long golden locks laid all over the pillows as she lied her head down. She shifted a little to get into a comfy layout.
Marshall Lee headed to the bathroom swiftly going through his medicine cabinet. 'Aha! Alas I found it!' He thought in his mind as he gripped the bottle of medicine while drifting back to his room where his female friend laid, almost asleep.
"Fi?"
"Mhmm...y-eess..?"
"Stand up for just a moment please, I have the medicine you deserve."
She then slowly began to sit up as much as her weak body could. When he was sitting up, she opened her eyes and mouth.
"Ahahaahh," she sounded as he mouth became ajar for the medication.
"Umm, I guess I'll tell you after you drink it," he whispered so she could not hear him. He took the bottle and and put it in a position where Fionna wouldn't chugged it all. So he sat right next to her on the huge, soft bed. After she had the serving required, Marshall Lee began to speak.
"Okay so this medicine works wonders, but it also makes you pass out for about five to six hours. But when you arise we'll feel 110% better. So lay down and get some rest," he explained nicely.
"...O-kay, buut-t Marshy marsh marsh.." she stuttered very groggy.
"Haha it also takes fast action to. And what did you need?" He asked in a polite manor, with a pink tint gradually making its way onto his cheeks from the way she said his name.
"I wan-tt-t y-oo-u t-too knoo-w s-om-ething-g. I," but she was unable to finish he last few words before she took off into a deep sleep.
Marshall Lee was a little disappointed that he didn't get to know what she had to say, but also knew that would not matter. She was all drugged up to begin with. But he was still very curious. 'Probably something silly...uh? Yeah,' He thought deeply.
Shaking the odd feeling and curiousness away, he leaned in and kissed her on the forehead, and whispered, "Goodbye, I'll be back later Fi." He knew she was no longer in reality to hear him, but decided to do that before he took off. It's no weather to be walking in if your a mere animal or human. But Marshall Lee has only have human, and vampire..of course. He had the bite on his gray neck to prove it. So getting sick was very rare in his circumstances and plus, he could fly swiftly through the down pour without much of a problem. No matter what, he had to go see Prince Gumball.
P.S: This story line is gonna have a lot of twists and turns throughout the entire story process. Not sure how long it'll be though, but I hope it makes it a long way(: Give me your feedback on this! Good or bad(: Bye!
