Chapter 3
The Mysterious Woman
"Ugg." Marshall groaned, opening his eyes. His wounds were gone, but he felt very tired and very weak. "Where am I?" He wondered, sitting up. To his surprise, he saw he was back in the Nightosphere, and he also had a weird feeling he was being watched. Looking around in surprise, he saw head disappear behind a jagged rock. "Hey!" Marshall called. There was no response. He went to the rocks. "Were you the one who saved me?" He asked. He was about to peer behind them, when a hand shot out and covered his eyes. "Hey!" He called out. "Shh." A voice replied. The voice was feminine, and seemed to be around Marshall's age. "Yes, I did save you." She said. "Well, can't I see my rescuer?" Marshall teased. "No!" The voice replied, panicked. "Can I at least get your name?" Marshall asked again. "Why?" The voice asked. "We're never going to meet again." To Marshall's surprise, he suddenly felt a soft pressure on his lips, as if something was kissing him, then all at once, the pressure and the hand were both gone. Marshall looked around, trying to find the woman, but to his surprise, found nothing. Meanwhile, the woman was hightailing it back to the castle. She made it and was about to hop the fence, when she heard a screech. "It's a human! A human! Come quick!" The woman had turned and saw a blue skinned woman pointing at her and shouting. Yes she was a human. She was the only one left, and if that woman kept shouting, she would be captured and the race would go extinct. She quickly jumped the fence and ran inside to the portal that led to her own world. She jumped through and came out, squinting as her eyes readjusted to the light. After memorizing where the location was, and waiting for her eyes to stop burning, she ran to a huge treehouse. "Cake!" She called out. "Cake!" "Coming, Baby." A white and ginger cat came out. "Now what's going on?" she asked. The woman twitched a bit. "Cake... I wanna go to the Nightosphere for a bit." The cat's eyes widened. "Uh-uh. No way! My baby ain't going to the Nightosphere!" The woman frowned. "It's just... I met someone who lives there... and I really like him..." Cake held up a paw. "You wanna live in the Nightosphere?" She asked. The woman nodded. "Very much." Cake sighed. "Fine. Let's go talk to Gumball.
