Later on, Fiona awoke to the sound of someone breathing next to her, and racket in the distance. Her eyes fluttered open, she wiggled her toes and groaned.

"Wha?"

There was a blurr of checkered red and black cutting off her vision, and an illuminated screen behind it. Fiona sat up and rubbed her eyes, looking around. The candles were all almost out, but she saw a catlike shape in the shadows, presumably Cake, who looked to be replacing them. Cake noticed Fiona and smiled.

"Girl, you know what time it is?!" she whispered.

"Uh, no? Why?"

Cake groaned. "Never mind that, look at who's next to you!" she dramatically pointed at the figure next to her. Fiona's eyes rolled over to the side, and she gasped as quiet as possible.

"Cake!" she whispered. "Why is Marshall Lee sleeping next to me?!"

Cake giggled and bounced up and down. "Looks like you were watching a movie? Y'alls probably fell asleep all up on each other!" Fiona blushed and shook her head.

"Aw no way! Cake, stop saying that jazz, it's pervy dude!" Cake giggled and went back to re-lighting the candles.

"The power's still out, can you believe it?! It's been hours and the sky is still dark as night, it should be daylight by now!" Cake huffed. "The rain hasn't even stopped."

Fiona gasped. "Aw, dang, no way! That's bazzonkers." there was a stirring next to her, and she jumped away from the boy's body to the other side of the couch, furthest from him as possible.

Marshall Lee chuckled, opening his eyes. His hair stuck up in the back and some swooped into his eyes. He sighed and stretched. "The storm isn't letting up, is it?" Cake shook her head no and he sighed. "Guess I'm stuck here, then. It's dark and all but there's lightning..."

Fiona giggled. "Aw, is the big strong vampire king afraid of a little lightning?" she teased at him and he looked away from her, scoffing.

"Hah, no way dude. It's just a far fly is all." he waved his hand in the air and dismissed the little comment. Fiona just laughed at him.

"Well," Cake said, hands on her hips. "What the junk are we going to do for who knows how dang long?!"

Marshall shrugged. "No clue, lil' kitten. We'll figure some of this all out." he flashed them both a smile and floated up to the ceiling, pulling out a board and showing a hollow place above him. "Guys, did you know about this?!""

"Oh, woah!" Cake gasped and stretched up to him. "What's that?"

"It's an attic, what else would it be?" he chuckled. "It was," he dramatically input the next word, "secret." In a swift motion he zipped up the door, clamoring around up in the attic, making dust fall from the ceiling.

Cake wrapped her leg around Fiona's waist and stretched up into the attic, bringing them into a dark room with many piles of dark masses. Fiona couldn't tell what they all were.

"Aw, man! I can't see a thing up here!" Cake said, groaning in frustration. Marshall Lee laughed.

"Right, I forgot y'alls can't see the in the dark like me!" he laughed again. "Sorry guys, guess we gotta go back down." He suddenly grabbed Fiona by the waist and flew down back into where the living room was. Cake stretched down after them. Fiona was plopped down on her feet by the floating vampire, who floated around back up the the hole in the ceiling and covered it again.

Fiona curled up onto the couch, staring out the window and following the raindrops that trickled down the glass in small swirls and dances. She could almost hear the baby water nymphs begin to cry out in happiness in being almost ready to be released from the raindrop's womb. She sighed when she felt the mattress she was sitting on sink a little, seeing red out of the corner of her eye.

"It's sort of sad," Marshall Lee said, leaning closer to her to whisper as to not disturb them. "They finally get a taste of life, then get crushed. To the ground, on someone's head, umbrella, and they explode into even tinier water droplets. Giving their lives to make another, that in the end, will be gone as well."

Fiona sniffled, curling into herself and shivering.

"Fiona?" the vampire asked, looking at her curiously. "You alright? Yo, Cake, something's jacked up Fiona's mind-brain." Cake walked over to the two of them and sighed.

"Naw, man. She's in one of her stormy weather moods. She'll snap out of it soon enough."

Marshall Lee sighed, looking at her uneasily. "Alright." he moved closer to her and draped his arm around her shoulder, she looked cold. Fiona sighed and rested her head against his shoulder, sniffling again. "Fiona?" He looked at her questioningly, and she shook her head.

"I don't know, man. I just feel all... space like and stuff." she sighed. "Can't explain it." the boy wrapped an arm around her.

"I get that, too. It'll be fine, promise." he smiled and winked at her, and she finally looked at him, smiling back.

"Thanks," she sighed and smiled. "I think it's letting on now."

"Good," Marshall Lee smiled again and floated up, pulling Fiona away from the couch and twirling her around the room. "It's gotten boring here, guys. We need more people over here!" he laughed. "Get a party going."

Cake scoffed. "You just love to throw parties, don't you?"

"Well, yeah! Especially in the rain." He winked and pulled out his phone. "I've got a bit of battery left, enough to text a bunch of people, you guys chill with that?" he looked over at Cake, then Fiona. Cake nodded and Fiona shrugged. "Oh, sweet!" Marshall smiled big and typed on the phone who knew what to who knows who.
