Oh how I love reviews…
First,
moshi182 Marceline is Marshal's big sister and when she disappeared Marshal thought she was dead. Thus he took her spot as the vampire's leader. He was like the heir to the throne I guess. XP
And I am very sorry about Lady… (hangs head) I BLAME OKTARIN!
Anyway, there'll be some Gumball X Marceline and some Fiona X Marshall and some pretty serious plot development. I estimate that this will probably become a 15-20 chapter story, idk, just a guess. I actually have a bit of a plot now much to my surprise. Thank you plot fairy…
ON WITH THE CHAPPIE! And plz review afterwards…
Previously~
"Excuse me," Gumball said carefully. He was quite wary of vampires but this one HAD saved him. "But who are you?" He thought she looked familiar but it was hard to tell.
Marcy smirked at him floating closer. "Awe! Does Gummy-Bear not remember me?"
He blushed at the use of his nickname from his childhood. "How do you…" He froze taking in all of her features. She had the same dark eyes as Marshal Lee's and they were sparkling with the same mischief. She had thick, raven black hair quite similar to the Vampire King's. And the exact same smirk that got under his skin so successfully. She had a cute nose that turned up slightly and thick eyelashes framing those sparkling eyes of hers. He knew who she was.
"M-MARCELINE!"
Currently~
Gumball was literally frozen, usually he would be far from happy about such a thing but seeing Marceline after all those years would have knocked him off his feet and sent him into a fit of rambling so for once he was pleased to be frozen.
He could only sit there gawking at the vampire girl in a state of shock.
Marceline was also very pleased by this situation. She held the key to Gummy's release, the ice queen's tiara that was perched on her head, and she was going to make him work for it. "Well, well, well Gummy-Bear…" She said smirking. The look in her eyes scared Gumball a little, and for good reason. "Your pretty dang cute…" She added leaning in so they were only an inch apart.
A shiver wracked poor Gumball's body, most thought the ice that he was trapped in caused it but it was really the cool breath fanning across his face. She smelt of strawberries and he suddenly remembered how she was always drinking the red from them when they, well, when he was a child. A strange thought crossed his mind for a moment,
Has she always been this beautiful?
He gulped uncomfortably. "Th-thank you M-Marceline." Did he just stutter? Since when did Gumball, the Prince, the scientist, stutter?
She laughed softly making Gumball's pink cheeks turn red. The sound was so seductive, almost a purr… It drove him crazy. Once again he was thankful for the ice incasing him.
"Well Gummy-Bear lets make a deal…" She said floating back a little. "If I-"
"Vampire!" The Ice Queen screeched. She stood glaring daggers at Marceline's back. "Give me my crown back!"
Marceline rolled her eyes, a lazy smile spreading across her face. "Yeah, yeah, don't get your panties in a wad…" She replied turning to look at the enraged woman. "You know… What does this make me? I mean, I was a Queen before but what am I now? The Queen of Vampires AND Ice?"
The Ice Queen was LIVID. But she had nothing to harm a VAMPIRE with; she really couldn't harm anyone without her powers. She was a surprisingly tiny woman and relatively weak. She clenched her tiny fists in frustration because she knew this; she knew she had no hope of ever regaining her title of Queen. She scowled at the wretched vampire that had stolen the only thing she had left. "I WILL get my revenge!" She hissed before storming out of the castle. It was going to be a long walk home.
Marceline just laughed, unfazed by the wicked queen's threat, before looking back to the real object of her thoughts. "As I was saying… If I release you you'll owe me one, kay?" She said it calmly, as if it meant practically nothing, but the way her eyes flashed gave her away.
Gumball gulped again, afraid of what the vampire could want. His treasures? His land? His BLOOD? He gulped again. "O-Okay…" He said shakily.
Marceline smirked. "This should be fun…"
With Princess Bubblegum~
The now human princess looked up at the palace standing before her nervously. She shivered and pulled at her sweater nervously. She knew this could go very bad, it was practically making a deal with the devil, but if she wanted to fix her mistake she was going to need some help and this was the only place she could think of going.
If Marshall had reacted so horribly then how would her precious brother react? She couldn't handle that, not after seeing the pain she had caused her beloved. So she had to do this, there was no doubt about it.
"She'll help me…" Bubblegum murmured to herself. She was all alone now; there was no one else TO speak to, just her and the ice. "She has to help me…"
With Fiona and Marshall~
"No! You're going to set the house on fire!" Fiona wailed trying to push Marshal out of the kitchen.
Marshall grumbled irritated by Fiona's lack of trust. "I can cook!" He snapped back to the girl who was pushing his back as hard as she could. If Marshall had been human he would be no problem to get rid of.
Her head snapped up. "Marshall Lee The Vampire King you almost destroyed the house with the toaster! The TOASTER! How hard is it to use a TOASTER?" She demanded her blue eyes blazing wickedly.
"Hey!" He snapped back at her, he wasn't hurt by her words simply annoyed. "Gimme' a break! I haven't had to use one of those things for thousands of years!"
"Yeah, I don't want your lack of practice pissing Cake off! Just imagine the look on her face if she came home to find the tree house burned to a crisp! She would rip out your eyes!"
He snorted rolling his eyes. "Stupid cat can't beat me… I'm the-"
"Oh yes! How could I forget? The mighty Vampire King could never be beaten by an angry and hormonal cat." Fiona said sarcastically.
Marshall couldn't help but smile. "You're learning well…" He purred spinning around so fast that Fiona accidently fell into his chest.
She pulled back, her cheeks flaming with a thick blush. "Wh-what the heck are you talking about?" She demanded putting her hands on her hips. The blush remained on her cheeks though to Marshall's delight.
He studied the girl for a moment recalling what she had said earlier about how he was 'lucky' he was a vampire and all. The thought of having her with him forever was intoxicating, like a drug, he knew that now that it was in his head he would never be able to get it back out. That's what he wants. And he has a tendency to get what he wants.
Fiona narrowed her eyes at the new emotion covering Marshall's face. His eyes no longer sparkled with that mean playfulness and the smirk on his face had somehow transformed into a real smile, like a little boy who just opened the perfect Christmas present. He chuckled softly confusing her even more.
"Well, what do ya' mean Marshall?" She demanded shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
"Forget about that," he ordered floating even closer.
Fiona gulped uncomfortably as she placed the glint in his eyes, no, it was not the playfulness she was accustomed to, it was HUNGER. "What is it?" Her voice was meant to be powerful and demanding but it came out in a breathless whimper.
"Fi-Fi," he said softly reaching up to push her thick golden bangs from her eyes. "Do you know what a vampire actually is?"
She blinked a couple times before looking down at her feet thoughtfully. "Huh… well… Cake said that they're super powerful, romantic, hot, and they live forever." She said looking back up at Marshal who now had a smug smile on his face.
"Well…" He sighed. "I guess all those things DO apply to ME." Fiona just rolled her eyes. "But that's only the half of it."
Fiona looked up at him, puzzled by his sudden serious tone. "Ok, then tell me the rest."
"Vampires can do all sorts of cool stuff," he began. "Most of us can control fire, ALL of us can float," he motioned to his feet that were not on the floor. "Some of us can move things without physically touching them, we can shape-shift, talk to dead guys, turn invisible-"
"What!" Fiona cried. She had been hooked on every word. It sounded AMAZING to her. "You can really do all those things Marshall?"
He smiled down at the girl whose eyes were sparkling with excitement. "Yeah, well, I am pretty awesome…" He said smugly. "But there's some junk that's bad about being a vampire." He said suddenly becoming serious. "You know sunlight burns us but it's not too bad if it's not DIRECT sunlight or it's a cloudy day, garlic smells so bad that it feels like your brains gonna' melt, and stakes HURT." He added scowling.
Fiona frowned. "Marshall, why are you telling me all this stuff?"
He looked down at her and smiled once again. "Fi-Fi, you remember what you said earlier? About me being lucky and all cuz' I'm a vampire?"
"Uh-huh," she said nodding slowly.
"And how you want to travel all over Aaa and all that junk?"
"Yeah, but what does that-"
"I'm getting there," he said calmly. Fiona had never seen him act this mature before, usually he was the bad-boy, the obnoxious rocker, the bad-influence that her sister hated. "Do you think you get what it means to be a vampire? There's lots of cool things that come with it but there's some serious consequences."
"Yeah…" She replied carefully, thinking over all the things he had told her.
"So, if it was possible would you want to be a vampire?" He asked carefully.
"Heck yes!" She cried. "That would be MATHMATICAL!"
He smiled bitterly, he was perfectly aware that she was too young to answer such a question and he already knew that this would be her answer. He had no plans to change her yet, maybe if she still wants it when she's older, sixteen, seventeen, something like that. "Your funny Fi-Fi," he murmured to the young girl before floating out of the kitchen.
