Henchman!
With Fionna and Cake
A/N: Hey guys, so for those of you who wanted Marceline's Closet or Memory of a Memory, or even Go With Me first. I'm sorry, but I got an even number of votes as of today for Marcy's closet and Henchman, and I decided that I want to do them in order first! I also got a suggestion to do a love triangle fic, so do you think I should do that? (it would be Fiona X Bubba X Marshall Lee) PM me or review (along with your review!) to let me know! We're going back to Fionna's POV! I hope you guys like this one as much as Evicted!
Marshall Lee, the vampire king. I haven't seen him in a while, but I have a feeling I'll see him soon enough. Our "relationship" didn't start off good. Cake said he was flirting with me back before he kicked us out. But then again, I couldn't tell. Cake never educated me on these things. So he "flirted" with me, and then kicked me out of my house. Yea, he's a real gentleman. Marshall's like, the opposite of Bubba. So he kicked us out of the tree house. Then when we found a new home, an old cave, he tried to kick us out of that one to. But by then I'd had it, so I slapped him. Then Marshall had the nerve to kiss me and fly off. I haven't seen the vampire since. The whole reason the vamp came into my thoughts was Cake and I were playing on a huge skeleton near his cave.
"Sugar are you gonna come down here or what?" Cake called up at me from the bottom of the bone pit.
"You bet Cake! Here I go!" I yelled down at her.
I jumped up into the air and slid down a huge rib bone crashing into the pile of bones at the bottom. As soon as I hit the pile the top, Cake and I flew into the air before coming down like huge boney hail, or a less sharp knife storm. Cake accidentally swallowed and got a smaller rib stuck in her head, luckily her stretchy powers made it so that didn't hurt her. Cake being a cat landed on her feet, but me being a human did not have that ability. Even if I lived with cats my whole life. I landed on my face. I'm tough though so it didn't hurt, well at least not on the outside.
"Yea, that was awesome!" I shouted.
Cake and I laughed it out for a while. But I soon heard a wailing sound.
"Cake," I exclaimed, "someone needs our help. Let's go!"
I ran off towards the sound of the noise. Cake soon followed behind after she spat out the rib bone like a hair ball. Have fun with that imagery.
We soon came upon a bush that we hid behind. Guess who we found. None other than the one and only Vampire King. For some reason he was dressed up, well as dressed up as he could get I guess. Marshall didn't seem to like to dress up. It wasn't a full on tux, but he had a really dark purple shirt on with those weird "tail" thingies on it. He rolled them up at the sleeves above his elbow. He had a purple tie on, and he even knew how to tie it, who knew. His pants were full length and really light purple horizontally striped with a slightly darker purple. His converses were replaced by purple dress shoes. Gee, I didn't know Marshall liked purple so much. Don't tell Cake I said this, but he looked pretty cute dressed up like that.
Marshall seemed to be arguing with some old woman. She was the one making the wailing noise, which now that we were up closer sounded more like crying.
"What part of henchman for life do you not understand?" Marshall asked the old woman.
"O-o-o-oh, p-p-p-please m-m-master." The old woman cried.
"Cake, it's Marshall, you know Marshall Lee, The Vampire King." I quietly told the feline.
"Marshall?" She alarmingly replied.
"Can't you find the heart to release this poor old woman?" The old lady pleaded.
"Uh, I don't have a heart, I'm undead remember?" Marshall retorted. "And henchman for life, means henchman for life!" He exclaimed.
"Cake, I think we need to go help that old lady." I said, but Cake didn't answer. "Cake, Cake?" I looked down to find that Cake had used her powers to hide her face inside herself. "Cake, are you still a scaredy cat about vampires?"
"N-n-n-no." She replied not very convincingly. "I'm not."
"Hmm, what should I do first?" Marshall contemplated. "Oh, I know fall on the ground for me!"
"Y-y-yes master." The old lady wiped her tears and fell face first on the ground.
"Ha ha ha!" Marshall laughed at his act of evil. "OH that was good. Now cry some more for me!"
"Alright, I don't want to cry. But I will cry for you."
I couldn't believe Marshall. He didn't seem that bad last time, so why is he being such a wad? He made me think twice about vampires, and now he's making me think, thrice. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't watch Marshall torture that old lady anymore.
"Hey!" I shouted as I ran out from behind the bush to get in that Vampires face. "Cut that out man!"
Cake rushed over to help the old lady. Meanwhile I literally got in Marshall's face. I was inches away. I had to stand on my tip toes but I did it. But I didn't realize that I'd regret that.
"Well well, if it isn't my favorite little adventurer. What's happening Bunny?"
Marshall leaned even closer to me bending down slightly to get even more in my face. All that brought to my mind was that night he kissed me. Like I needed that brought back into my mind. The thought made my face feel like it was on fire. I had to distract myself. I tried to move away at first, but his eyes glued me in place. Then I tried to focus on his face, but every time I tried, my eyes just ended up wandering down to his lips. I would have avoided this awkwardness if I could but like I said, his eyes had me locked in place.
"S-s-s-stop making this poor old lady cry." I tried to protest, but my voice came out shaking and quiet.
Thankfully after that Marshall leaned back up and stopped bending down, but we were still really close. I could almost hear him cracking up in his head.
"I can do can tell her to do anything I want." Marshall commented smugly. "Watch this, henchman, amuse me."
The most horrible thing happened next. The old lady jumped up and balanced on her cane. How that old lady did that I have no idea, but it was horrible to watch.
"S-stop it!" I commanded. Though I doubt I looked to convincing with bright pink cheeks.
"Math, now jump in a circle." Marshall commanded.
The old lady then proceeded to jump in a circle. But her old wood cane couldn't take her weight that long. After a few hops the old lady's cane snapped in half. She then came crashing to the ground. I though Marshall was a pretty chill dude, but he's torturing an old lady! I mean come on, she was all wrinkly she had to be a thousand years old just like Marshall.
"No!" I shouted as I rushed to the old lady's side. "Are you OK Mrs.?" I said trying to sound soothing. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get set free."
"Oh yea?" Marshall questioned as he floated over to me getting in my face again. His breath was ice cold, so it landing on my face make shivers crawl down my spine. "How are you gonna do that Bunny?"
"A-a-a-anything." I stated the shakiness returning to my voice. "I-i-i'll even take her place."
"Fionna!" Cake exclaimed grabbing my arm. "You can't be serious babycakes?"
"Do you mean it?" He questioned
My fear started to fade as I thought of Marshall torturing that old lady some more. I couldn't let that happen.
"Heck yea. I can't watch this old lady suffer any longer."
Marshall leaned even closer, his lip brushed mine. My face went from bright pink to fire kingdom red.
"Deal." He said. One short word that changed, that fun night forever. "Old henchman, you're free to go." The last three words floated out of his mouth softly as if he was singing a sweet light song.
The old lady now seemed full of life again, she cheered shortly before jumping and running way from the little clearing.
"Honey, you can't be serious." Cake asked me sounding very worried.
Right before I was going to answer Marshall spoke back up. "Hey Cat." He retorted.
Cake leaned over to look at Marshall who was now standing behind me. I have no idea what happened but Cake fell over screaming so I can assume that Marshall scared the goop out of her.
"I-i couldn't watch that old lady be tortured any longer Cake. M-my hero code is against that junk." I claimed putting emphasis on my Ts hoping it made me sound more sure of myself as my voice was still quieter and shaky.
I though Marshall would laugh at me and mock me, but he didn't. He just floated behind me while I talked before floating up and landing in the space between Cake and I facing me.
"Hey wait a minute there Mr. Monster. I've gotta ask you somethin'."
Marshall turned on his heels to face Cake.
"You wanted to ask me something?"
Marshall must have used his shape shifty powers to mess up his face because from what I saw Cake reel back in terror and fall on her frizzled tail. I ran around to help Cake up off the ground. Once she got back up she shrank and climbed into my backpack her face stretched up to my ear and whispered something in my ear.
"Girl, I wanna help you out. But that vamp gives me the chills. Like a good ice cream sundae, but in a bad way." Cake said, gagging out the word bad as she shivered in my backpack.
"I can't Cake, as a hero I have to stick to my word, no matter what."
"I think it's up to me to put that up to the test." Marshall said breaking up our conversation. "Let's go Bunny."
"Wait, right now?"
That last part got stretched out so it sounded more like right nooooow? That's because Marshall picked me up and put one arm behind my back with the other holding me up by the hips. Cake fell out of my bag as Marshall flew higher. She turned into a mini parachute though so I bet she landed safely. But the thing is, I wasn't expecting Marshall to do pick me up like that. I thought when he did grab me he would grab my backpack or my shirt, not that think Cake calls bridal style. Marshall started flying higher and higher until we were so high Cake looked like a tiny white dot.
"Stay calm sugar, I'll find a way to fix this!" Cake shouted up at us. But it she was hard to hear through the wind rushing through my ears and Marshall's maniacal laughter.
A/N: Finally done! This one took longer than I expected because I was sick and couldn't do my homework so I got behind a bit. But I got it done! I hope you like this chapter. I'm just going to let you know, the more thoughtful reviews I get the faster I want to get out a new chapter. Also, you may see that I don't have a cover for this fic. I decided to have a contest! I'm taking entries until next week so good luck! (you can put them on deviant art, name is dragonbolt00 there. If you don't have a DA you can email it to me dragonzbolt00 at Gmail dot com (filters), but make sure you put cover contest in the subject line! Also please do not just give out my e-mail or abuse it. If you want to actually chat with me PM me here. Anyways, don't forget to review, favorite, follow!
P.S. Should I do a love triangle fic? It would be FionnaXBubbaXMarshall (more towards Fionna's inner battle between her old crush on Bubba and her new developing feeling's for Marshall. The episode would most likely be Go with Me) PM me or review if you can't letting me know. I love getting feedback from my readers to please let me know what you think. (and why, don't just say "it's good" or "this sucks")
