Darkness succumbed her the second she closed her eyes. She couldn't remember anything. Where was Marshall Lee? Was she asleep? But oddly, if she was asleep, she didn't feel like it. She felt like she was dead. If she was asleep, she'd have that elevator dream or one about adventuring. That was just how she rolled. Then there was a blinding white flashed before her eyes. Then she saw blue everywhere. Tendrils surrounding her. An image flashed before her. Marshall Lee's fangs were deep in the skin of her neck, and she was screaming. Then her body went limp. Fionna watched in horror as he drained her of her blood. Before she could even take another breath another image flashed before her. Aaa was in fiery ruins. But these flames went red and orange. No, they were green. A fiery magic burning Aaa to the ground. She ran through the land. The fiery and everything else only went through her. She just couldn't stop it. What she yearned for was the source. Who was causing such evil? Drowning everyone she loved in fire? A quick glance at the center of the Candy Kingdom gave her her answer. It was Prince Gumball. His hands shot out the fiery substance at the whole kingdom. "Gumball?" Fionna whispered. She started towards him, but them suddenly she heard a cackle. The voice was too familiar. She spun around and ran towards edge of the grasslands near Mono' s house and gasped at the sight before her. Her loving, older sister Cake was sending a trail of green fire behind her. Tree Stumps and all of the grasslands' residence ran about in fear. "Cake!" Fionna yelled. But the cat couldn't hear her. She ran as far as she could towards the darker parts of Aaa. Where the graveyard was. She stopped abruptly. Her feet wouldn't give in to running after she looks up. Marshall Lee was burning down the darker parts of Aaa and the graveyard. His usual sly smirk only sickened her now. And filled her heart with fear. She couldn't stand these sights and longer. She ran home. Home to the tree house by the edge of the Dark forces. Home was we're the heart was. She ran until the tree house came into view. Her awesome...green...fiery...tree house!? Yes, the infamous tree house that held all of their memories was burning down slowly. A dark cackle could be heard a few yards away. Fionna turned her head towards the laughter and screamed so loud, it sounded like a high pitched ring. She was burning down her tree house.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fionna sat up screaming her head off. Someone was grabbing her and forced her down. She thrashed and kicked to try to get them off but they wouldn't budge. "Fionna! It's me, Marshall!" Fionna opened her eyes to see Marshall Lee's flawless face. A look of concern edged at his eyes. "What?" Fionna croaked. She sat up when he moved over. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Why wouldn't I be?" "Well for one you woke up screaming like a little girl, and then you're drenched in your own sweat." "So." Fionna said trying to avoid the subject. "You sounded like you were scared." Marshall Lee said. "Why would I be scared!?" Fionna asked nervously. "You-" Marshall Lee figured that he would lose this back and forth game of who's scared of what. "Never mind." So what now?" Fionna asked snuggling back in next to him. "We can um..." Marshall Lee automatically stopped talking and heard a soft whisper yet he couldn't hear what it said. Before he could even think this he was succumbed into a dark place. And couldn't see anything but himself.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fionna sat up turned around to face Marshall Lee. His eyes became dark black pits, then a bright fiery green. His eyes met hers and he smirked. "You okay man? You kind of spaced out." Fionna said. "I'm-" his eyes flashed as an idea crossed his mind. "Actually Fionna, no. I'm not alright." He sad in a more cryptic voice than usual. "I would like it very much if we could go for a walk through Aaa." He said. "If that's alright with you milady?" Marshall Lee said hovering over her. "Ah-alright." Fionna said grabbing his hand as he led her outside into the warm night. They walked for a while until she saw that the were heading into the forest. "Um, shouldn't we be avoiding the forest?" "Don't you want to fight some monster just for fun?" Marshall Lee said in a hypnotic voice, making her want to go through the forest for some reason. "You're right." She said feeling a little robotic. What was wrong with her? "Good little girl." Marshall Lee said letting go of her gaze as they started their trek deeper into the woods.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Marshall Lee didn't know where he was, but for some reason it was dark and he could see a small bubble in front of him. It showed whatever was happening with Fionna and him. Well, it looked like him, but it wasn't. This guy had all of the same physical details as him except his normal blood red eyes. It wasn't him. But he could tell that whoever it was was trying to lure her in. As the fake him smirked and led her deeper into the woods, Marshall Lee growled. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" Marshall found himself yelling at the bubble. But the fake him smirked and Marshall watched as Fionna followed him to her doom.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
They came into a small clearing, and Marshall Lee smirked as he supposedly fell to the ground weakly. Being the sweet and innocent girl she was, Fionna ran to his aid. "Are you alright?" She worried. "I'm fine, just a little weak from not feeding." Marshall said as if he was in pain. "I'll be alright. I can just walk." But Fionna wasn't even fazed by his suggestion. She thought for a second and gasped mentally when she finally got an idea. "You can drink from me. My blood can help you until we get back to your house." "No, I can wait." Marshall Lee said cringing. He stifled back a smile. "Marsh you can't wait. I want you to." Marshall met her pleading eyes and sighed fakely and looked as if he was hating every second that involved this idea. He didn't speak as Fionna exposed her neck to him. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Marshall Lee watched in horror as Fionna exposed her neck to this guy. He eyed her hungrily but when she looked, he had a face of regret. "STOP! FIONNA MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Marshall shouted, but it was like yelling at a tv when a scary movie was playing. Pointless. "AAAAAAAAAARGH!" Marshall Lee yelled angrily. Suddenly he was pushed forward back into reality. He was in the forest with Fionna. Her neck was right in front him. His fangs was bared. He couldn't and wouldn't bring himself to do the deed. Sensing his hesitation, Fionna spoke. "If you're gonna do it Marshall..." Marshall Lee couldn't speak. Whatever just happened made him want to bang his head against a wall multiple times. He couldn't think of anything to do but to kiss her passionately. Which is what he did. Yes, Fionna was surprised. Yes, she probably wanted to kick his ass for being so bipolar. And yes, she probably was going to kill him later. But as he kissed her soft sweet lips, he didn't want to let her go. After he did that one time, he felt like he was slipping deeper into the darkness. Her innocence. Her taste. Her very being healed his holes. The holes that made him a coward of a king; as much as he hated to admit it. The holes that made him want to kill to fill them. Her light filled his dark pits when he felt this way. When he finally willed to pull away, she was breathing heavily with a look of shock. "I know you might be mad and all but..." He said. "About what!? First you say you wanna go for a walk, then you're all weak and bunk, and now you're apologizing!? What exactly's going on Marshall!? Be completely honest with me! I want the real you!" Fionna found herself shouting as she stood up and paced back and forth."The one whole be honest and be all slick and nonchalant! The real Vampire King!" "I..." Marshall couldn't answer her. All he could think about was that voice and how it pushed him into darkness. He didn't need to go back there again. "Fionna... This...everything is just...too much right now." He noticed her silence and looked up as her face went pale. He whipped his head around towards where her eyes looked and saw a pair of emerald green eyes. Marshall heard Fionna' s heart beat speed up from the urge to fight as a figure emerged from the forest into the clearing.
