Hey everybody! Thanks for reading so far; I've got a massive English assignment that pretty much determines my whole grade but here's chapter 4
Chapter 4: The Black Forest
"Finn, Finn wake up." Marceline said as she shook Finn awake. "Finn we're gonna head to the Black Forest to save Jake."
As Marceline said Jakes' name, Finn instantly woke up
"Shit Marcy, you're right." Finn said almost instantly. He jumped up out of bed and picked up his backpack. Marceline picked him, her bag and her bass up and flew for what seemed like hours. When they finally did land, Finn saw the widest stretch of enormous trees ever. Each one had jet-black leaves.
"We're here Finn" she said, "Welcome to the Black Forest."
She let Finn down at the beginning of the forest.
"Alright lets do this!" Finn yelled
Marceline just cackled as they ran inside. Even though Finn was faster than Marceline, she ran considerably fast seeing as how she hadn't run for hundreds of years. A few moments later Finn heard screaming from an old lady and followed the screams. "Marcy come on I heard screams." Finn yelled
"Finn wait!" she said.
Finn turned to ask her why but took a lightning bolt to the back of the knee. "Argh! My leg!" Finn yelled. "Who shot that?"
"It was us!" said three small flying gnomes.
"Not you guys again." Finn yelled
"Finn, who are these guys?" Marceline asked as she dodged a lightning bolt.
"I fought them back when I got the enchiridion 2 years ago. They like to hurt old ladies." Finn replied.
"That's pretty weak." she said. "Finn, lets get rid of these guys and keep going."
"Ya for sur…" Finn was about to finish as a gnome flew over to him and lifted him away. "What the Glob?" Finn yelled.
"Finn!" Marceline shouted as she flew towards the gnome at breakneck speeds.
As Marceline was flying a lightning bolt from one of the other gnomes hit her in the back of her head. She blacked out. The last thing she remembered was falling from the trees.
About an hour later
The vampire queen started to open her eyes. "Finn?" she said, then realizing what happened to the young hero she bolted up and flew up a few feet. "Maybe I can get his scent." She said to herself. Then she started sniffing around and eventually picked up Finn's scent. She started running through the forest following his scent, smacking into branches and bushes for what seemed like hours. Eventually she reached a clearing, and the scent went cold. "Shit, where are you Finn?" she asked out loud.
"Every time you say 'shit' we'll zap a hero boy" a voice said from above, followed by a shriek of pain.
"Holy shit!" Marceline yelled in shock, followed by yet another shriek of pain by Finn.
Marceline looked up and saw Finn's body completely tied to a branch surrounded by gnomes looking down at her.
"Ha! Found you idiots!" Marceline yelled as she leapt up and almost took off one of the gnomes' heads with her bass. Then she cut Finn loose while they re-grouped
"Kill them!" One of them yelled.
"Not today fools!" Finn said as he kicked one in the face, while Marceline drained the blood from the other two, her expression turning into pure pleasure. Finn knew she didn't have to drink blood, she could live off red. But to her blood was so much better. As the gnomes practically shrank down and died, Finn felt somewhat disturbed from the look on Marceline's face.
"Finn are you okay?" She asked wondering if he saw her drink their blood.
"Ya man, they tied me up is all" he responded with an uncomfortable chuckle at the end, confirming Marceline's suspicions.
Marceline paused. "You weren't supposed to see me feed like that. I haven't had blood for so long, plus they would've killed you if I hadn't." She said with an embarrassed look on her face.
Finn starred at the ground. "It's cool." He said trying to hide his face from hers, unsure what his face looked like.
"Come one, it's getting pretty late." She said, obviously changing the subject much to Finn's appreciation. "We should set up camp."
"Ya, that's probably a good idea, do you have the tents in your bag?" Finn asked hoping she did.
"Yup" she said pulling out a mess of rods and tent fabrics. "You know how to put these together?" she asked.
"Not a clue" Finn replied.
Alright guys that concludes chapter 4. I'm really sorry if it feels forced or not very good but I've got a lot of stuff going on right now in my personal life so please bear with me and keep reading. Thanks guys.
