Chapter 2

Marceline

She woke up, my internal clock telling me it was around five o clock in the afternoon. The raven haired girl got up and put on her grey no smoking t-shirt and some cargo pants. She grabbed her crossbow and walked out of the cave she called home into the forest to hunt for some food. There are more people like her, who hunt instead of grow lethargic from the food that the government sends them, and that's why they have hideouts instead of homes. In the current state of government, being strong enough to care for yourself is allowed, unlike most other things. Well, more so excused since its still "frowned upon" and we're cast out from society for being… healthy.

After walking through the forest for around five minutes, she saw a plump rabbit eating some kind of root. She readied her bow, and shot, nailing it right in the head, but before she could go get her meal, she saw a flash of orange before her, that disappeared with her food.

After running in the direction it went in for some time, she saw some orange hair peeking over some thick shrubbery. Before she had time to close in on it, a bright blonde haired boy ran out of the bush and held his arms up towards her, a frantic look in his eyes.

"Now look miss, my brother didn't mean to steal your rabbit. He doesn't know that stealing is wrong. Sorry about that. Here you go." He pulled the rabbit from behind him and held it out to her, the arrow that was previously lodged in its head in his other hand, now clean. Marceline was about to reach out and take the rabbit back, but she took a look over the boy again, seeing that he was very skinny, and very young still. He seemed to only be in his early teens.

"Nah, kid that's alright I'll catch something else. You and your bro probably need it more than I do anyways." She took her arrow from his hand, messing his surprisingly soft blonde hair, before turning away and walking deeper into the forest, to find something else to eat.

She'd wandered for a long time until she heard something whine in pain. She walked closer to the sound, finding a baby deer, its leg trapped inside of a rope tied to a tree. The leg seemed to be broken, so even if the deer could get out, it wouldn't get very far. She readied her bow, preparing to put the poor thing out of its misery, but she stopped when she heard a low, grumbling sound from behind her.

The ruby eyed girl turned around slowly, coming to face whatever was behind her. She came face to face with a very large, snarling, grey wolf.

"Uh oh." She mumbled. Before it had time to register on the wolf, Marceline had already turned around and started sprinting away, as fast as she could manage if she wanted to make it home without her legs giving out once she got there. The wolf took chase, gaining on her each second. Marceline took a sharp turn, giving her enough time to pull out her crossbow. Before she was able to shoot, a very large- somewhat familiar- orange haired werewolf looking creature leapt from a tree onto the wolf, knocking it across the clearing. Before the wolf had time to hit the tree it was hurtling towards, someone appeared behind it, roaring a pubescent battle cry and thrusting a green tinted sword through the wolf's body.

The wolf let out a loud yelp of pain, and the person yanked the sword from the wolf's body, and kicked it away. Marceline looked in the direction of where the werewolf was supposed to be, but only found a tan skinned, orange haired boy walking towards her other unknown savior. He somehow looked familiar, like she had seen him somewhere before.

Marceline just stood there and stared for a while, until the person with a sword took of their white bear ear hat, revealing shaggy blonde hair. He looked up at her for the first time, and gave her a half smile and said,

"I never got the chance to introduce myself earlier. Names Finn Wright," He pointed over to the orange haired boy, who was about 2 inches taller than him "and that's my brother, Jake."


Sorry if you think the chapter is a little short! Right now it's just story development, so they're gonna be a little short when you meet a new character.

Next chapter will be longer, I promise!
