"You have to go."
"I'm not going to leave you."
"Yes you are! Don't you get it? I'm going to kill you!"
"You would never hurt me. I know you Marshall Lee. I know that you talk up big game and think that you are such a badass, but you're not. You are as gentle as it gets." She places her hand in mine and gives it a gentle squeeze.
I can hear her pounding pulse, the rushing blood, moving all throughout her body. I pull my hand way from her. I tug at my hair and bend forward. I feel my teeth elongate. "Ahhhh!" They hurt. Bad. I need to sink my teeth into her.
She puts both hands on my shoulders. "It's okay. Fight it Marshall Lee. Fight!
I throw my head up and let my inner demon take over. "No!"
Next thing I know, her blood is rushing down my throat. It is better than it smells. It is everything that I have wanted. Nothing compares to her unique flavor. I push her down to the ground, until I am completely on top of her. She struggles against my force, but it is nothing compared to my supernatural strength. She says my name faintly. I know I am killing her, but I can't stop. I can't control myself. I have never been so bloodthirsty in my whole vampire existence. I tug at her messy hair, needing to get closer. I bite harder. Stop Marshall. You are killing the girl you love. Stop!
I pull away, finally finding my inner will power. There is blood everywhere. All over me. All over her. My hands are drenched in the dark crimson liquid. I look from them to her. "No. No. I'm sorry!" I pick up her lifeless form and hold her close to my chest. She is so pale. I sit quietly, trying to hear her heartbeat. I listen and I listen, but I hear nothing.
I didn't stop from some unknown strength within me. I stopped because there was nothing left. No blood. No life.
I killed her.
I killed my Fionna.
I grip her tighter and place my forehead against hers. The tears are coming hard. I didn't even know vampires could cry. I start yelling. Yelling at myself. I am a monster. I have never killed anyone before. And the one person I did kill is my entire world. I put my lips near her ear. "Please." I choke on my tears. "Please!" I am finding it harder and harder to breathe. "Please, come back to me."
I don't get an answer though, I never will again.
The sun is starting to rise. It will be any minute before it reaches us. I don't move. There is no point. No reason for me to live anymore. I move so that I am lying down with her on top of me. I hold her close to my body, and wait. Wait for my release.
I feel the heat rays from the sun and know that my pain is almost over. I feel them touch my legs. I feel them blistering. The pain is so indescribable. They catch on fire, burning and burning until there is nothing left. The rays make their way up my body. I kiss Fionna on the cheek and never remove my eyes from her beautiful face. The blisters and flames engulf my body. The last words I will ever say rush out of my mouth. " I love you."
Then there's nothing.
