Chapter 2: Welcome Back...
Finn woke up with someone or thing hugging him under his sheets, Finn gave out a long sigh.
"LSP what did I tell you about sneaking into my house, "Finn said annoyed and tired of being stalked by the princess.
Finn lifted the sheets to find a girl with long black hair and pale gray skin hugging him as she slept Finn stared down at the Familiar girl. Frozen as he stared at her in disbelief, he tried to speak but words wouldn't form. It had been 3 years since Finn saw the girl. He felt mixed emotions run thru him. She had just up and left not telling anyone, not telling him, and after all this time she comes back and decides it's ok for her to just pop out of nowhere pull something like this off, angry and sadness flowed through him, the vampire slowly waking up confused but not fully awake. Finn stormed out the front door he took off flying, he didn't know where he was flying, but he just kept going eventually he ended up at The Ice Kingdom he flew past Simon and Betty not stopping to say hello. They look at each other in confusion and started to go to the library where Finn usually was when he visited.
"Um. Hey Finn, are you ok?" Ask Betty with a worried expression on her face.
Simon walked up to him setting a hand on the young man's shoulder, Simon noticed his new arm and gear but was more concerned with the way he was acting to say anything about. After a few moments of silence, Finn spoke up.
"I.. I just need to clear my mind," Finn said sadly.
"What happened Finn?" Simon said concerned about the young man.
"Marcie... Came back." Finn said sadly
Simon looked over at Betty, They remembered after Marceline had abandoned him, he had stayed locked up in the library, for months. Simon and Betty got up and closed the doors behind them, they walked over and sat on their thrones waiting for the vampire to show up looking for him. Betty pulled out her phone and called Jake.
"Hey Jake, yeah yeah everything's fine… but Finn came and locked himself in the library. Yeah, um Marceline came back" …
The line dropped immediately after a few hours of waiting the dog walked in looking angry he walked passed Betty and Simon and headed straight to the Library, opening the big library doors the dog saw his brother on the ground staring into the empty floor his anger faded and a look of concern came onto the dog. He sat next to his younger brother and put his arm around him.
"Hey, buddy everything going to be ok man," The pup said rubbing Finns back.
Simon and Betty saw the young vampire girl walk through the front doors into the castle. They knew exactly why she had been looking for the young human threw out Ooo. She walked up to them
" H Hey guys.." the vampire said looking down at the ground. "Have you seen Finn around"
She looked up, Betty was Glaring daggers at her and Simon just shook his head.
"It's been 3 years Marceline, 3 very long years for mortals" Simon spoke in disappointment. "You know he looked for you everywhere? Including the night-o-sphere. He came back and fell into a coma for 3 months, after fighting with your dad for information about you."
Marceline could feel the guilt about what she had done to him, she could feel her cold tears drip down the side of her face. Simon sighed.
"Give him time, he might come around.. Might"
the room fell quiet Marceline had turned around left yet again in search of the young hero.
Finn was finally getting up and moving. Jake had left for home at midnight. He looked once more at the library before leaving for home, feeling like he had overstayed his welcome. He walked thru his front door and up the latter, he froze as he saw the young vampire. She was hugging her knees softly crying into them softly repeating I'm sorry over and over again. He slowly tried to go back down the ladder but on the final step, he fell with a loud thump.
"F Finn" he heard a soft weeping voice and slowly raised his head to see her.
He quickly got ran to the door but she was too fast. She had hugged him from behind, his arms fell limp to his sides.
"P please don't go," she said softly. " i. I'm sorry Finn, please. I... I can explain everything just, please. don't go "
The young man turned around and pried her hands from him. She looked up at him hurt, but then shocked and tears ran down his face.
" Y..y.. you don't get to just come back after 3 years I looked all over Ooo for you. I fought your father for you...after everything we did together after everything we've been thru you don't just get to come back into my life like nothing happened, not even a single letter from you. " He said shakily and just looked down.
Not knowing what else to do the vampire silently hugged him again, crying into his back. He felt her arms around him but he didn't struggle this time he just stood there. Hours had gone by and tears had gone dry. They just stood there Marceline never wanting to let him go again. Finn had finally got the courage to look at her again and slowly turned around hugging her back. She chuckled a bit throat still sore from crying.
"When did you get so tall?" she said quietly…
Finn tightened his grip on her and she rested her head on his chest, she hadn't gotten a good look at the young hero since she came back. The young human was now a head taller than Marceline, his chest big and strong, his shoulder big and broad. She looks up Finn had his eyes closed, she blushed slightly his face was more chiseled and defined, he was no longer the teenaged boy she had left behind 3 years ago.
"Finn?" she said softly
But the young man had fallen asleep with her in his arms. She tried to break free without him waking up but to no avail, he had a death grip on her. Not that she minds, she began to poke the hero seeing if he would wake up. Finn stiffened and open his eyes he looked down to see Marceline poking him, he let her go and she looked up. His eyes were red from crying, he walked past her and started to climb the ladder but felt Machines take hold of his shirt tugging on it softly. He turned around and sighed.
"Fine… you get one more chance… but if you ever. I mean EVER leave me like that again you will never see me again…" He said in a flat tone. He kept climbing and eventually fell into his bed. He turned and looked up at the ceiling. Marceline poked her head in the rooms shyly not wanting for Finn to get angry at her again. He saw her from the corner of his eye and opened his arms, she slowly floated into them and rested her head on the hero's chest.
"Listen, Finn... I..i'm really sorry for everything... I didn't want to leave but… I still had some pent-up feelings for Bonnie and I was confused and scared and i. I didn't want to hurt you, Finn. I didn't mean to hurt you.I was hoping you would have moved on and I don't know find someone else to love, but when I came back all my stuff was still here. And my house was spotless.I couldn't help but want to be with you again."
Finn gave out a long sigh.
"I..knew you had feelings for her. The way you guys fought and acted around each other kind of gave it away. I was hoping you'd talk to me about your feelings instead of running away from me. But I guess you didn't trust me enough..." His voice began to crack and his grip on Marceline started to tighten a bit. Marceline grips his shirt she looked up but he was staring the ceiling his bottom lip twitching as if he was holding back tears.
"That's not true Finn. I trust you… it's not that I didn't trust you it's that I couldn't trust myself to not hurt you… and I was getting depressed, I mean look at you Finn. You've aged so much in so little time… I'm honestly scared to lose you… you'll keep aging while I stay the same...and you'll probably want to settle down, get married and have kids.I don't know if I can provide that for you..I want to all these stuff for us but. I don't know if I can handle your death. That's also one of the reasons I left.."
Finn looked down at Marceline, she was shaking and about to cry again but he brought her in for a kiss.
"Marceline there are ways for me to be immortal, just like how Betty is also immortal now," Finn said confused and annoyed.
"Oh...yeah Betty is " She chuckled to herself feeling pretty stupid.
"You left and got depressed because you thought I would die and leave you alone. For 3 years. " Finn said it in disbelief
"Yeah…" She said blushing and embarrassed at her own stupidity, she got up and wanted to run away but Finn pulled her back into a hug.
"No.. not again. Never again.." Finn said
She struggled for a bit but then gave in, she could never resist his hugs for long, she placed an ear to his chest, listening to his heartbeat she slowly fell to sleep.
He had woken up before her and stepped into the shower it was the first time he showered in months, he never had a need to since he didn't really hang out with anyone, and he was always preoccupied with Solo Adventures. The warm water washed all the stank away. He stepped out of the shower he looked at the bed and Marcie still laid there sleeping. He finished changing and started cooking Jakes famous Bacon Pancakes, he put out a glass of red wine for Marcie as well as some bacon pancakes. Finn had figured out how to Dye food red a while back in case Marceline ever came back. He pricked his finger figuring the smell of his blood would wake Marceline up and sure enough the sleepy vampire slowly floated down to her seat. Finn let a few drops of his blood drip into her wine, Marcie sat there processing what had just happened. She had gone back to her old routine instantly almost like it was second nature to her. Finn sat there quietly eating his pancakes taking quick glances of Marcie whenever she wasn't looking she looked at her food and dug in. Bursts of flavor she hasn't tasted in thousands of years hit her tongue she stared Finn down tears forming in her eyes.
"H how" she whispered quietly.
"Hmmm? How what?" Finn relied
"How can I taste pancakes and Bacon Finn," She said
Finn looked at her and chuckled sadly.
"After you left I spent most of my time in Simon's Library, I stumbled across a book called How to Please your Vampire" Finn blushed slightly
" It taught me how to make a red food coloring that would let vampires taste food like humans can and other things. But that's not important right now"
He started to play with his food nervously. Marceline placed her hand over Finns and squeezed down.
"Finn.. thank you.."
"Yeah.. anything for you.." Finn said looking at her he smiled
She floated over to him and planted a kiss on his cheek, he blushed a bit and looked away. He got up and started to pick up the plates.
"Come on. I got some errands to run today and I want you close to me today" Finn said he turned to look over at the vampire.
"Ok I just need to change.. And I need my Umbrella too.," she said as she floated to his room. The young human started washing and cleaning leaving everything spotless seeing as the vampire decided she needed a shower too. Finn looked at his new arm excitement filled him adventuring with his new arm was going to be fun. Marceline walked down changed and ready to go, she looked curiously at the young human as he inspected his new arm.
"Finn, when did you get a new arm!" Marceline rushed to him and took it in her arms she noticed it was sort of like flesh warm and squishy but it was blue and silver with weird writing she had never seen before.
"Well that's where we are heading, I met some blacksmiths who make some pretty Math stuff, I was hoping they would make me some more items now that your back ." Finn rubbed the back of his head. He got up and took her hand heading to the door once outside Marceline went to pick him up when he started to float too.
"Oh.. Finn you can fly now too," She said in a sad tone, She actually enjoyed carrying him around in her arm.
"Yeah, this arm it has runes on it given me some extra perks" He picked up on her sad tone and took her hand heading to the volcano where the Blacksmiths lived. Finn figured out it was a volcano when he first flew out. Marceline smiled when Finn took her hand,"I guess this isn't so bad.." her grip on Finn's hand tighten.
Ah, Finn! Back so soon? It's only been a day lad." The eldest Dwarf chuckled and patted Finn's back.
"Ah well, I forgot to get your names and well. I brought someone to get fitted with the same style of clothes I have on." The young boy leaned in and whispered into the Dwarfs ear "Can you make a ring that makes a vampire immune to the sun's rays?. The dwarf stood in silence.
"My my you just keep surprising me more and more" The dwarf chuckled.
"A vampire huh, I heard they all got killed off as well. Seems like everything is surviving nowadays." He chuckled. "Very well kid where is this vampire? I need to take some measurement and such"
Marceline meekly popped her head out from behind Finn.
"Uh, Hello," Marceline said
The dwarf just inspected her,
"Mmmm ok Give me an hour or so my brothers should be here soon as for our names. Hmm it's been so long since we used them I can't seem to remember them" The dwarf Chuckled
"W wait how old are you?" Finn asked confused
"When was the Universe created?Said the dwarf chuckling again.
