The book read, "The Mertens family were world-famous vampire hunters, thought to be the best. However, mighty as they were they had yet to defeat the vampiric royalty, as much as they tried." Two sentences, two sentences that could instantly destroy one of his greatest friendships. Those sentences destroyed him, he read them again and again, expecting them to suddenly change. Then, about an hour later, the phone rang, and Finn prayed to Glob, Grod, Gob, the Cosmic Owl, anyone who may listen, that it wasn't who he knew it was.

Finn picked up the phone and answered shakily,"He… Hello, Treehouse here, Finn talking. Hey Finny, it's Marcy, anyways, I finished what I was doing so we can hang out and jam now.F: I… I don't know if you want to be friends with me anymore Marceline. M:Why wouldn't I be?F: I learned something about myself I don't think you'd like to know.M: I'm sure it's nothing… Finn… Finn, you there?"F:… Marceline ended the call and thought, " He must be a wreck if he ran off like that. I wonder what's bothering him?

Marceline put down the phone and flew as fast as she could to the treehouse, all the while wondering what was wrong. About 5 minutes later she arrived and hurried in to see Finn sitting emotionless on the couch. "What did you want to tell me Finn?" Marceline ansked tentatively, "I can't bring myself to tell you, but read this." Finn replied while giving Marceline the book and pointing to the passage. As words of hate from her friend's kin washed over her, she forgot all manners of difference between parent and child and turned to her devastated friend who she now saw as a thrneat, and with rage consuming her body, yelled, " YOU HAVE KILLED MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITHOUT A BLINK, DO NOT EXPECT ANY MERCY FROM ME, TIME TO PAY!" As she finished speaking she threw an inhuman punch that launched Finn out the open door and sent him flying into a crash landing about 100 ft from the treehouse. As she went to pursue him, she notices she was stuck in the large yellow band the was Jake's arm, she struggled for a moment until she came to her senses and said, " Jake you can let me go, I need to go find Finn and apologize." As Jake released her she set out the door to find Finn.
