Marceline still held feelings for her. She hated herself for that. She knew she should have gotten over her but something kept her from moving on. Could it be that she was really the one? She tried to erase the thought asshe lay on her bed, hiding from the sun. She sighed. She could only think of all the time she spent with her girlfriend, well ex- girlfriend. All the times that Bonnie had snuck out to spend time with her. All the crazy adventures they had in the night. She missed it all. Even the little fights that they had about Marceline's nonchalant attitude. And then she remembered their break-up.
Marceline had been dating Bonnie for a while. It had been a year and it felt as though it compensated for all the crap she dealt with in the 1000 years that she lived. Marceline kept her relationship a secret for her sake and for Bonnie's. Yea there were sometimes she wish she could make it public, I mean after all, maybe Bonnie wouldn't get kidnapped every other day by some desperate loser treating her like an object but she knew both kingdoms wouldn't take it very well if they found out. She didn't want to take the risk of losing her. Everything was great that is until one of the vampires found out.
One of the vampires spotted them while wandering the land of Ooo. Shocked zed vampire secretly spied on their date to reassure it was indeed the vampire queen. After conformation he confronted her after the date was over. Marceline had just gotten back from a night out with Bonnie. They went to Bonnie's favorite bookstore where Marceline purchased a book for her. It was about cat and poisonous gas or something along those lines. They then went to a café where they enjoyed the small desserts they ordered. Of course Marceline got something with strawberries. It was simple. It was nice. She didn't need to spend hundreds of dollars for date they just needed each other's company. And then her perfect night was bluntly smashed down into a morbid reality when she spoke with the vampire lying on her couch.
Vampires didn't bite around the corner; they went straight to the point. "Hey, what are you doing hanging out with the candy princess?" Marceline felt an uneasy feeling in her stomach. "What are you talking about" she said raising her voice but not quite enough to be called a scream. "You know damn straight what I'm talking about. I saw you guys and if the others somehow find out about this it won't be pretty" she know felt a deep anger in her throat. "You wouldn't dare!" " Look "Queen" I'm just trying to warn you okay? I suggest you break it with her or I will tell them" "Oh yeah? Well what if I kill you right now? Wouldn't be able to tell then would you?" something didn't feel right. "Oh please like I would just come here… This is a projection. Why would I come here in person? It's suicide. Now that that's settled, break it with her or I'll kill her." Threatened. Never had Marceline ever feared or cared for a threat thrown at her but this was definitely her first time feeling it. "What y-you can't be serious!" "Oh but I am, you see I don't want any wars because honestly their a drag however if your secret relationship keeps going any longer the war will just be bigger. So what'll it be? Her death or a break up?" Marceline felt a rush of anger and tears start to form however she kept them well hidden from the vampire. Even though she could probably find this guy and kill him, she cared too much for Bonnie to put her at any risk once so ever. All she could do was comply with this vampire's demands. "F-Fine I'll comply with your wishes."
Marceline knew that she had to go through with his plan to keep Bonnie from getting hurt even if it meant portraying the villain along with losing whatever humanity she had left. She knew if she told Bonnie the truth, Bonnie wouldn't accept it so she decided to completely act like she hated her. She would tell her the night after. As she lay on her bed hours away from what would be their "break up" deep in thought hoping that night would never come for once in her life she began to cry. She let all her emotions of desperation and hate come out so once she broke up with her she wouldn't be able to cry during it. Night finally came and she quietly got up and flew out. Every meter closer she got, the more she felt like shit. Flying through the open window Bonnibel was waiting for her. She hugged the vampire and planted a kiss on her cheek, which only made the vampire feel worse. Before Bonnibel could say something, Marceline interrupted "Bonnibel we need to talk."
Bonnibel felt something bother her from those words. Her full name being used? Something didn't seem right. "What is it Marcy?" she had replied. Her mouth felt dry and she felt melancholy enter her system. "Look Bonnibel I'm sorry but I just don't love you, In fact seeing your face is grossing me out right now. I tried to like you but it just seems impossible so I'm going to break up with you." Those words stung. Bonnibel felt tears rushing. There's no way this is a joke, she thought to herself. "So you were just pretending?" Now rage started to form. Marceline said in a casual way "yueep it was a total act, I can't believe how long I lasted with you." Marceline felt a horrible pain in her chest. "GET OUT!" Bonnibel screamed with the top of her lungs she got the nearest object and threw it at Marceline. It was one of the books Marceline bought her beforehand for her birthday. It hit Marceline in the stomach. The emotional trauma hit her harder than the textbook though. Seeing her cry she couldn't bear it but somehow she managed. "Fine whatever, I'm outta here" Marceline hissed and flew out. As she flew out she heard the painful cries her ex was now letting out.
Marceline felt the worst she had ever felt before. Even worse than when her dad ate her fries and maybe even when her mother died. She sat on a tree and could only cry even after trying to dry out the tears previously. She began to scream with pain and punched the tree as hard as she could. It made a hole through but the vampire didn't feel her pain lessen. Her mind could only be filled with "what ifs" and "if onlys". She spent the rest 2 years trying to get her mind off her and to travel the land.
