The Tilt of a Neck

Chapter 1

Finn was really bored. It was one of those days where he had no idea what to do. BEEMO was on the charger, Jake was with Lady Rainicorn, and Peebles was either asleep by now or working on her specimens. Finn was about to lay down when he heard a knocking at his door. He grabbed his shoes and put them back on and ran down the steps to the door. Once he got down to the door and reached for the knob, the door swung open and a dark figure floated at the door. The dark figure brushed it's long hair back, and slowly floated inside as Finn started to speak.

"H-Hello?" Finn said in a low but squeaky voice.

He didn't know who the dark figure was, but it was mysterious, he liked it.

"I'm Marceline, The Vampire Queen." The dark figure said.

Finn said still shivering "W-Who's the V-Vampire King?"

"He's not with us, He's in the night-o-sphere." Marceline replied. "I sent him back in there after the great mushroom war."

Finn wasn't as scared anymore, so he stopped shivering so much but he was still cold. Finn was actually starting to like Marceline, she was really mysterious. He liked that.

The Vampire Queen has floated into Finn's kitchen when he wasn't looking.

"We don't have any blood, if that's what you're looking for." Finn said.

"We?" She looked confused.

"I have this friend, his name is Jake. But, he is out with somebody."

Finn started to blush. He knew whenever he talked about girls, he would blush. The Vampire had been listening as she was sucking the red out of an apple. Finn had stopped mid-sentence to examine this. It had been confusing for Finn. He had thought vampires, or I should say, Vampire Queens, sucked blood, not colors.

"How do you do that?" Finn had asked, listening to her answer intently.

"Huh? Oh. It's nothing. Just that I can eat the color red without having to drink blood." Marceline answered.

"That's good, I guess." Finn said, probably still blushing hard.

The vampire had leaned in close to him.

"What are you doing?" Finn asked nervoisly.

"I still need to drink blood occasionally." Marceline said with a stare that Finn couldn't figure out.

Then he realized what she was getting at. At first, Finn just had a blank stare, but now his eyes were as big as Jake's eyes. They both just sat there, staring into each others eyes.

Finn asked in a low voice "My blood?"
