Chapter 1

Hey guys it's been awhile! Don't worry, in the time I haven't been posting I've been coming up with algebraic (I hope) ideas for this second part. For those who are new either you can start from the beginning s/9196451/1/I-Don-t-Want-To-Forget or you can start here, you may just be a bit confused!

The knocking at the door rang through Fiona's head. It was almost in beat with her pounding heart. Or, it would have been, if she were alive. But she was dead, killed by the thousand year old boy that she was following. Was he a boy or a man? She always saw him as a boy with his immature jokes and tricks, but maybe, just maybe... It was time she looked at him in a different light. His face was stone cold, his eyes filled with so much emotion that he refused to show on his face. Anger, hurt, abandonment, regret... Fiona couldn't quite figure out what to make of him. He used to mess with her, once he even forced her to do things she didn't want to do. He's almost gotten her killed on numerous occasions, and yet, she still would call them friends. Eventually he became more than that. A boyfriend. It was still weird to think about. She'd kissed him, and he had held her and everything was so perfect. Why did it end?

Oh right, Fiona thought in her head, He killed me. Not only did he kill and turn her but he also claimed to have never even liked her in the first place. Although, she couldn't think about that right now. She needed to focus on what was happening at the moment.

Marshal Lee led her down from the attic and to the back door. From there they went into the back of the cave. "Ready?" Marshal asked as they stopped in front of one of the stone walls of the cave Marshal called home.

"Duh," Fiona replied plainly, a little too loudly.

"Shush!" Marshal hissed. It was too late. With their vampire ears both Fiona and Marshal could hear the knocking stop and footsteps begin traveling around the house.

"Oops," Fiona trailed off. "Guess we're gonna have to fight them!" She smirked and went to press the sword charm on her bracelet that she knew would transform into a larger sword. Why'd she even keep it? Marshal gave it to her. Oh well, that wasn't important at the moment, it was time to fight.

"No way, this is safer. Quickly," he turned to her and hissed, "and quietly." Marshal shoved hard on the rock in front of him.

"Uh Marshal, I'm not sure if throwing yourself against the rock is going to help our situation..." As soon as she'd said it, the rock where Marshal had shoved gave way and pushed backward into the rock.

"Well then will this?" Marshal retorted as he shoved the indented rock out of the way, revealing a dark tunnel.

"Uh possibly, it kind of depends." Fiona said as she stepped inside. Marshal floated in after her and pushed the rock back into place behind him. "On where it leads to, which is..."

"Does that really matter right now? Just get in the damn tunnel and shut your mouth so we don't get caught or found!"

With a scowl, Fiona did as told and Marshal got in behind her, pulling the door back into place.

"I don't see why this is ne-" Fiona started before Marshal put his arm around her shoulder and his hand over her mouth. He raised a finger to his mouth in a shushing fashion just as voices began to be heard outside.

"I told you they weren't back here." A boy's voice grumbled.

"But I heard them! Look, we'll find them eventually. Marshal only has so many places to go, and I know Fiona can't float. We had to eliminate that ability to...keep her alive."

Even Marshal Lee couldn't help but intake a small breath, like a little gasp. The two looked wildly into each other's eyes, their eyes wide with surprise. That voice... It was Gumball's. Marshal didn't know who the first was but the second was definitely the pink prince's.

"Its just Gumball" Fiona whispered as she removed Marshal's hand and approached the door. "Stop! Marshal softly hissed. He grabbed for her hand, "we agreed he was up to no good."

Fiona rolled her eyes and yanked her hand away, "Oh come on Marshal, it's just Gumball. I'm going to talk to him."

Marshal glared at her, "Fine, whatever. Just go talk to the guy who accused me of trying to hurt you."

"Maybe you did," Fiona snapped, "you don't care about me anyway, it's not like you're my boyfriend."

Marshal felt like a stake had been driven through him. "I'm not going out there. Go alone." The coldness from before had returned to him. If she wanted to keep acting this way still, then fine. Two can play at that game.

Marshal turned invisible and shoved the door open. He stayed inside as Fiona walked out. Marshal shut it behind her.

"Hey Gumball!" She called to him cheerfully.

"Oh, why hello Fiona!" Gumball, who was across Marshal's "backyard," turned around to face her. "Where did you come from?"

"Oh I was in the bushes over there... Searching for a, um... Monster." Marshal slapped his palm to his forehead. Monsters in the bushes Fiona? Really, that's the best lie you've got?

"Oh I see. I was just looking for Marshal Lee, is he here?"

"Um," Fiona considered giving Marshal away to Gumball to prove Gumball was fine, but something stopped her. "No, I couldn't find him. Who were you just with? And what was that about my floating abilities?" Fiona laughed a bit to seem like she was just messing with him but she really wanted to know.

"Oh while you were dying we had to do some sciencey junk to keep you alive, it took away your flying. No big deal, I was just telling an old friend of mine about it. But he left."

"Oh I see, where'd he go?"

"Oh it doesn't matter, either way, we're alone now." The prince stepped closer to Fiona. Her breath caught, not because she was nervous but because his mood had switched so quickly. Why was she getting this...vibe... From his actions. Like something was off and she should run away. Instead of running, she just went along with it, hoping it was a joke.

"Uh, yeah..."

Prince Gumball brushed a pink hand down Fiona's cold, gray cheek. "You're so cold my dear, how could Marshal Lee do this to such a pretty girl?" He leaned down and whispered so quietly that not even Marshal could hear him, "Until otherwise is said, whenever Marshal shows affection, kindness or softness toward you, you will shun and be angry with him."

Fiona's eyes opened wide for a moment,flickered a purplish color, then rested in their normal way, a burning red color.

"Good, now kiss me." Gumball whispered as he brought his head to face hers.

Without a moment's hesitation, their lips gently came together. What am I doing?! Make it stop! I don't understand why I'm doing this! Fiona screamed in her head. On the outside though,she said nothing and continued to kiss the prince. He tasted like gum balls which made sense. The sweet taste and smell of the prince made her sick to her stomach.

Inside the tunnel Marshal Lee was pacing back and forth. For the past few minutes, as in, ever since Fiona left, he had been contemplating going out there. For awhile things had been very quiet and even with his vampire hearing he couldn't hear a thing. What if they left or Gumball hero-napped her? You're not even supposed to care, Marshal scolded himself, like she said, it's not like you're her boyfriend or anything anymore. Was he ever her boyfriend? Was that ever established? Or were they just two close friends who kissed a few times? No, that couldn't be it, or could it. Marshal didn't even care, not anymore. They were barely even friends anymore.

Although, there was a part of him that did still care about the little heroine and didn't want to see her get hurt. He didn't know it, but he was in for a surprise. As he pushed aside the boulder, he saw a sight that cut him to the core. Fiona was kissing Gumball.

Marshal immediately saw red. For a vampire he was always pretty laid back and didn't usually get angry unless provoked, but this, this made him snap like a twig. He stomped toward the two, fuming.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Marshal Lee forced through his teeth.

Surprised, Gumball pulled away from Fiona. "What the stuff? Wha- Marshal when did you get here?"

"I don't know Fiona, when did you start getting all friendly with Bubba?" Marshal snapped at her.

"I... I don't know." Fiona stumbled over her words trying to figure out the answer to that question herself.

"This has been going on for awhile now, hasn't it Fiona?" Marshal was trying to sound angry but as he kept speaking he was more and more hurt and sounded vulnerable.

"Bingo Bango Marshal Lee," Gumball said before Fiona could answer. "How'd you guess?"

Marshal's face turned stone cold and straight, glaring at Gumball. It wasn't like the prince to be this way, usually he was flustered and kind of all over the place with his experiments. Even so, the Vampire King was not about to let some little gummy prince get to him.

"Hey-" Fiona began to protest. Gumball stopped her by staring straight into her eyes that flashed purple for a split second. Marshal was to busy being angry to notice the exchange.

"Stay out of my business Marshal." Fiona stated coldly. No, not again! I didn't mean that Marshal I'm sorry! I didn't want to! What is happening?! Fiona screamed in her head, but of course, no one could hear her.

"Fine," Marshal said before turning to Gumball, "Leave, I have business to attend to and you are not welcome here. I don't exactly recall inviting you."

"Alright then. Goodbye my darling!" Gumball called to Fiona as he left. He blew her a kiss, "I will see you later." He winked and Fiona's eyes flashed purple once more.

After Gumball was gone Fiona fell to the ground trying to catch her breath. "What just happened?"
