What Have I Become? Chapter 2
Marshall Lee's POV
About 10 minutes until the movie was over, I noticed Fionna stopped whimpering and sneaking peeks at the screen. I looked at her and her arms were wrapped around me. Her heart beat slowed and so had her breathing. Oh wow! She fell asleep through a horror movie through all of the screaming! What brought that on? I guess she was really beat from the day. In fact I was pretty tired myself. A little too tired to fly her home. Sure, she could spend the night here on the couch; I don't think Cake would mind too much. I carefully unwrapped her from me and lifted her up so I could get up. I got a blanket from a closet and draped it over her. She said she'd hated that couch and she probably wouldn't be comfortable. Oh well, she'll live. On the way up the ladder, I looked back at her. She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping. Woah, did that sound creepy or what?
So you bring on your couch, she was wrapped around you, begging you for it, then you just leave her like that? You are weak. Spineless. You want to do it and you know it. You've always wanted to know what human tastes like…
"No shut up! I would never hurt Fionna in any way!" I said through gritted teeth. I cared about her too much to ever hurt her. She was beautiful and I've known her for so long. That was true. But I have wondered…no-forget it! Suddenly I was starving. I growled -which is something I haven't done for a while- and flew to the kitchen. I yanked open the fridge, pulling it halfway across the room. I didn't care if Fionna woke up, not in the slightest. I grabbed the first thing I saw and drank the red straight out of it, snarling. I snapped back to my senses. What just got into me? I wasn't satisfied. I craved something more and hated it! I walked out of the kitchen and glanced at Fionna. I crashed to my knees and pulled my hair in a sudden fury. What was happening?
You want more. You want her and you know it. Give in. That hunger won't go away.
Cake POV
Where the plop is that girl? She is gonna get it when she gets home! Didn't she say she'd be back later last night? I gasped. What if something happened to her? Maybe some evil monster got her. I have to save her! I started to run around what used to be our house. The walls melted into trees. She's trapped in here isn't she? There she is! Right in front of me! And to my right, left, I hear her voice shouting from all around. "CAKE! CAKE! Come save me Cake!" "I'm comin' baby!" I shouted. Then she ran away from me. Why was she running? "CAKE HELP!" She continued screaming. The trees were bent in strange forms. I smashed into something I couldn't see. In a flash, the walls were back, and all was quiet. I fell to the newly returned floor. I started to laugh. I don't know for how long, but it was a while. I kept laughing without pause.
"HA!" I said. "You're so funny Fionna!"
Fionna POV
Dear Glob my back hurt! I got up and stretched. That wasn't a very good sleep. Wow. I fell asleep at Marshall's house. Huh. Where is he anyway? What time is it? I gasped. "Oh Glob I fell asleep at Marshall's house! What will cake say?" I should just go home I thought.
"Morning sleepy." Marshall floated down the stairs wearing only his black boxers. Cram, he can't be a little more modest when someone slept at his house? I couldn't help but blush. I had to say though, I didn't mind his body so much after looking a bit more, his raven hair wild from sleep...Yikes, where did that come from?
"You know, I was surprised when you fell asleep through all that whimpering you were doing buried in my chest." He said smirking. Glob what was with this new attitude of his? Once again I blushed uncontrollably.
"Shut up. Whatever, I need to get home. Cake will be freaking out and will probably kill me. So, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Suddenly, he was right in front of me, so close he was almost right up against me.
"Aww can't you stay a little while Fi? I get so lonely sometimes…" He purred. He walked forward, forcing me against the wall. Okay, this was getting creepy. It had to stop.
"Dude! What's up with you? Look I just need to get home. I'll see you later….maybe." I pushed past him (with difficulty) and left. What's going on?
