Hi sorry for any delay, I got my laptop taken away, so I've had this chapter written for a couple of days now. Thanks for another review from Sara (and yes, Max is a sneaky bastard lol) and from Anonymous! And thanks to vampialuva for giving me an idea for their escape plan! Apologies in advance because I have a long song in this chapter… but enjoy the fluffiness! I do not own!

Marshall and Fionna spent a long time planning their escape. The plan had to be flawless if they didn't want to put themselves in even more danger.

They decided to rest for while before they executed the escape. They'd need all their energy.

As the vampire settled himself against the wall to sleep, Fionna crawled over and nestled herself in his arms.

"Why…?" Marshall asked, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Sing me a song, Marsh." Fionna murmured softly, snuggling her face into his chest.

"Fionna…"

"Just do it."

Marshall finally conceded, beginning to sing softly:

"Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in

Because it's cold outside, it's cold outside.

Share with me the secrets that you've kept in

Because it's cold inside, it's cold inside

And your slow, shaking fingertips show

That you're scared like me so

Let's pretend we're alone

And I know you may be scared and I know we're unprepared

But I don't care.

Tell me, tell me what makes you think that you are invincible

I can see it in your eyes, that you're so sure

Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's

Vulnerable

Impossible.

I was born to tell you I love you

Isn't that a song already?

I can feel the originality

And it's true, I can't go on without you

Your smile makes me see clearer

If you could only see in the mirror what I see

And your slow, shaking fingertips show

That you're scared like me so

Let's pretend we're alone

And I know you may be scared and I know we're unprepared

But I don't care

Tell me, tell me what makes you think that you are invincible

I can see it in your eyes, that you're so sure

Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's

Vulnerable

Impossible.

Slow down girl, you're not going anywhere.

Just wait around and see

Maybe I'm much more

You never know what lies ahead

I promise I can be anyone

I can be anything

Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed

I can be anyone, anything

I promise I can be what you need

Tell me, tell me what makes you think that you are invincible

I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure

Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's

Vulnerable

Impossible."

Marshall concluded the song and looked down at the girl snuggled in his arms. She gazed back at him, sitting up slowly.

"Fionna I-"

She cut him off by putting her finger gently on his lips.

"Shh…" She whispered, leaning her face towards his.

Marshall did the same, slowly and tentatively.

Their lips were inches apart when a loud bang came from the door as food was pushed in through the grate.

"Food." Came the gruff voice of the guard

Fionna slowly freed herself from Marshall's grasp to get the food. She ate just as slowly, contemplating what had just happened. She had almost kissed Marshall Lee. Or had he almost kissed her? Or was she completely imagining that had happened?

She pushed away her conflicting thoughts of the Vampire King and tried to focus on her meal of stale bread and water

When she finished, she turned beck towards Marshall, but he was curled up on his side, now fast asleep.

Maybe she had imagined it after all…

**TiMe LaPsE**

The next morning, they carried out their plan. Fionna banged on the door of the cell and yelled to the guard.

"What?" He demanded.

"I need you to come in here!" Fionna said, and air of desperation in her voice, "I think my friend might be dying!"

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Come in here and help him!"

"Sorry little miss, no can do."

"If you don't come in here to help and he dies, I'll kill myself! And then Marx will blame you for both of our deaths!

The guard was thankfully afraid of Marx's wrath and unlocked the door and entered.

The only problem was that the vampire was nowhere to be found.

The guard realized his mistake a second too late, and Marshall crept out from behind the door and hit a pressure point in his neck. The guard fell to the floor unconscious and Marshall and Fionna slipped out the open door, one step closer to freedom.

Sorry that the actual writing was short, but I have another chapter written, so it should be up today to compensate for shortness. The song was Vulnerable by Secondhand Serenade.
