OMG I am soooo sorry peoples. Before you flame, please just complain to me with private messaging rather than everyone else seeing it too. I've been so neglectful of this account, I've been busy w/ Marching band, school, Visions (just this thing I do every other Wednesday), and all this crap. If I didn't have a life I would've been had this uploaded. But with Marching Band being over and my school stress is down, I think things will get better... Hopefully... ._.
Anyway, please enjoy Chpt. 8. * Send any complaints to me. All will be answered*
It's now the late afternoon. It's been four hours since Finn sucked Jake's blood. No one else knows about that "event" but Finn, Jake, and Beemo. But Jake's passed out, Beemo's shut down and Finn's nowhere to be found…
"Crap, crap, crap! What do I do?" Marceline paced back and forth, she was extremely anxious. Was Finn really a vampire? Last time she saw him, she couldn't tell if he became paler, or if that was just his regular skin tone, since he was already pretty pale. She stopped and tried to think, but her thoughts were so shuffled that she couldn't think straight. She sat on the couch, leaned back, and covered her eyes, in an attempt to gather her thoughts. Just then, someone was knocking on the door, though not interested to who it was, she walked over to see anyway. But before she could even open the door, Princess Bubblegum had swung the door open.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?" she questioned, loudly.
"What are you talking about?"
"YOU SHOULD KNOW; YOU TURNED FINN!"
Marceline was shot down by that statement, all consciousness left her, and then at once it all came back to her.
"Hey, listen, I didn't want to do that!"
"Oh yeah right, how does one accidentally bite someone?" She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"I don't know, but that's pretty much how it went down. He died his hair, and didn't have his hat on and I thought-"
"Wait, why wouldn't he wear his hat, and dye his hair?" PB had said rather calmer than her previous statements.
"He told me it was for a bet he had with Jake."
"Jake didn't assert me about a bet."
"What?"
"He was over at my castle earlier; that's when he told me of what you did, and later he left."
"Have you seen him since then?" Marceline questioned, she started to think that something might have happened to him.
"No, he left after he told me and I haven't seen him since then."
Marceline couldn't handle the anxiety of this anymore, "Step aside Bonnie!" she pushed PB out the way as she ran out of her house.
"Where are you going?" exclaimed PB.
"To check up on something."
Later at the tree fort... Now dark outside...
Marceline flew to the front door and tried to open it, but it was locked, "Come on!" she flew up to a window, it was covered, "Oh My G-" She flew back down to the door, and transformed into her giant bat form and kicked down the door. She turned backed to normal and flew inside the house. It was really dark inside, but she adjusted to it. She looked around, there was no one here... Until there was a moan that came from the living room, she flew out of the treasure room and into the living room. She couldn't pin point where the sound had come from, until she heard it again. She walked to where it came from, and she found this... "Object" on the floor. She flipped it over, "Jake!" He was barely conscious and was very pale. She looked on the left side of his neck, bite marks! "Jake! Jake, say something!" She shook him, he didn't respond.
"Please Jake, wake up," tears started to form in her eyes. Just then Jake eventually started to wake up.
"Jake...?"
"Wha- what happened...?"
Marceline then hugged Jake, which was something she rarely did, but she was just so glad that Jake regained slight consciousness.
"Marceline? Why are you here...?" Jake had said trying to pull away from Marceline.
She then stopped hugging Jake, "There's not enough time to explain, you've lost a lot of blood and I need to get you to a hospital."
"Where's Finn...?"
Marceline stared at the woozy Jake, feeling quite remorseful since the state that Jake was in was somewhat her fault. "Finn isn't here right now...look I need to get you to the hospital, pronto."
Later...
Marceline took the wounded Jake to the Candy Kingdom, that was the nearest place that she could think of that had a hospital. As she walked through the kingdom with Jake in her hands, all the candy people that she passed gasped and hid. They whispered to each other, "What do you think happened?", "I don't know.", "Did she kill him?", "I knew it was only a matter of time." Marceline looked at the candy people, seeing how no one trusted her, they were too afraid to even be near her; thinking that if they did, they'd have the same fate as Jake. Once she arrived at the doors of the Candy Castle, she pushed them open, and the slam of the doors hitting the wall caused some of the candy people in the building to turn around in fright and startled the others. Princess Bubblegum, who had arrived earlier, had come down the stairs.
"What's with all the ruckus down here?" She had questioned everyone.
She then noticed Marceline at the front door with the wounded Jake, "No you didn't..."
"What?"
"First you turn Finn...then you suck Jake's blood...WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"
"I DIDN'T DO THIS!"
"Banana Guards, seize Marceline the Vampire Queen!" Princess Bubblegum ordered the Guards at the front door.
"And Jake, your highness?" One asked.
PB looked over to Peppermint Butler, "Peppermint Butler, please take Jake to the nursery."
"Yes, M'lady." He walked over to Marceline and swiftly took Jake from her grasp.
"No, stop!" Marceline tried to go after him but the Banana Guards took hold of her before she could do anything. "Come with us miss."
"Who are you calling MISS?" She struggled, but couldn't break free of their grip. The two threw her out of the Kingdom, Marceline landed on her back, but she quickly got back up and tried to run back inside, but the Guards closed the gate. She pounded her fist against it, "DARN IT!" she then tried to fly over the wall. As she got over, one of the Gumball Guardians came into animation and stopped her from going any further, she tried to go over it but it caught her in its hand.
"Let me go!"
"I cannot let you pass under strict orders from Princess Bubblegum."
"Fine, just let me down!"
It let her down at the front gate then stood back up and froze like a statue. Now there was no way she could get in the kingdom even if she went around a different way, the other Guardian would just block that way. She just wanted to explain what happened. At the thought of the previous events, she fell to her knees and then onto all fours. She get so frustrated at herself and felt so much remorse at the same time, she clenched her hand into a fist and pounded it against the ground, "ARGH! THIS IS MY ENTIRE FAULT!" Tears began to fall.
She didn't want anyone to see her like this, so she quickly got up and flew away from the Candy Kingdom and went straight back home.
At Marceline's cave...
Marceline opened the front door to her house, and immediately slammed it behind her. She went through the living room and the kitchen; she opened the back door and slammed that one behind her as well. She sat on the back deck with her knees tucked to her chest and her head down. She kept quiet, she didn't even try to think, just absolute silence.
"Marceline...?"
Her head shot up.
"Where are you?"
She got up and looked around.
That voice... is it really him...? The one who caused all of this...?
She turned around, and standing at the back door, was no other than the hero of Ooo.
Finn.
I know, I know. It took me months to put this on. I Am SORRY! :'(
And it's time to bring in the flames, I know, send me a private message and I'll deal with that personally. I don't people (possibly little kids... you never know...) to see things like: "WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO F*ING LONG TO UPLOAD?" Okay? I want to keep this friendly. Now, I know that after this, you won't really trust me to make Chpt. 9 so quickly. I don't blame you for it, in fact you're most likely right, but the good side is that I DID put this on.
So before you get all Flamey, just remember, I'm only human...
Peace out my readers!
