New Memories

Chapter 2

I started writing chapter 2 on Christmas Day, but wasn't able to work on it until the second. :/ Oh well, better late than never! Anyways, I hope everyone had a good holiday season. Here's chapter 2! I hope you enjoy it!

Marshall and Fionna dived in different directions as the ogre's fist slammed into the ground. The young adventurer performed a somersault and balanced herself with near perfection, her sword grasped with both hands, ready to strike. The vampire, being as agile with his ability of flight, was able to do a flip with his hands and land on his feet, his knife drawn in his right hand.

"Marshall!" Fionna called out commands from the right side of the beast. She was good in situations like these. She's fought monsters like this countless times. "Distract him from your side! Then I can move in and attack!"

It was a simple plan. Monsters like ogres weren't that smart. They can only keep their attention on one thing at a time. So, if you distract them, you could easily attack them from behind and take them down.

"You got it Fionna! Hey! Ugly butt face!" Marshall began to taunt the ogre. Calling it names and throwing rocks at it. And it worked. The ogre turned to Marshall and roared at him. He just smirked and stood his ground. Finally, the monster began to charge at him.

This was Fionna's cue. She was supposed to jump, on the monster's back, stab him with her sword, and it would be over. But for some reason, when she looked at Marshall, she froze. She saw the smirk and…she just completely zoned out. She got lost in his deep, purple eyes. His messy, black hair. His sharp, white fangs… But it was the scream that got her out of it.

"FIONNA! WHAT ARE YOU-"Marshall's words were cut off as the ogre hit him with the back of his hand. The poor vampire was sent flying, eventually crashing into the ground and skidding a few feet before stopping and hitting his head on the base of the tree. He screamed in agonizing pain and laid there.

Fionna gasped as she realized what had happened. "MARSHALL!" She ran up to the ogre and jumped on his back. "Get away from him you ass-hole!" She raised the sword above her head and stabbed into the back of the monster's neck. The monster collapsed and Fionna jumped off his back. She immediately ran to Marshall's side.

"Marshy! Are you okay?!"

Marshall laid there not moving. A little blood poured from the back of his head and his right leg. She could tell right away that the leg was broken; but she was more concerned about his head.

"D-don't worry Marshall! You'll be okay!" She picked him up and began to run home.

It was a long run, but she made it just as it was becoming night. She burst into her house's front door and ran upstairs. "CAKE! I need help!"

"Oh great! You're home Fi!" Cake ran down the stairs and saw Marshall in her arms. She hissed. "What on earth is HE doing here baby girl?!"

"We…we were fighting an ogre…and I messed up and…he's unconscious! Please Cake! I know you don't like Marshall, but the hospital would never take him!" Tears began to form in her eyes. "I know you don't like him, but please Cake! He needs help!"

Cake sighed and accepted defeat. "Alright fine… Take him upstairs."

Fionna smiled a bit and ran upstairs. "Thank you Cake! I owe you one!" Fionna laid Marshall on her bed as Cake came upstairs with bandages and some stitches.

"Fi…in order to get a good look at his leg, we'll have to uh…take his jeans off…"

Fionna blushed red. "O-okay." She slowly reached her hand down to his jeans, slightly shaking. She gulped and unbuttoned his jeans and slid them down. It reminded her off the…few times she "saw" Marshall. One time was when she and Cake hid in his closet. Fionna went out to see if it was okay to go. She crawled into the bathroom and saw him taking his clothes off. She backed out as soon as possible, her face redder than ever. The second was when she was going to hang out with Marshall. She was a bit late though. When she peeked through the window, Marshall was in his underwear, calling on Fionna's phone. So, she waited for him to get changed and walked in, trying to hide her blush.

Back to reality, Fionna shook her head and looked at Marshall, her face becoming bright red. Cake saw this and told her to go wait downstairs as she fixed him up. "Huh? Oh! Y-yeah…" She climbed the ladder to downstairs and sat on the couch, waiting for Cake to finish. Exhausted, she lay on the couch and slowly closed her eyes. Within a few minutes, she fell asleep.

Sorry for making this chapter really long! I couldn't find a good place to end it. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it! ^_^ I'll get to work on the next chapter as soon as I can. Until next time guys!
