What happened last:

After Marceline disappeared into her bathroom because Beemo walked in on her and Finn "playing a game" on her couch, Finn went to go check on Marcy and things started to heat up. Things may seem amazing right now for them but what's going on with Jake?

After they came down from their adrenaline filled high they went over to Marceline's bed. Finn put on his underwear to feel more… decent and Marceline just covered herself with a towel. The two laid down next to each other and just looked into each other's eyes. Marceline was looking into the young hero's eyes with deep longing. She couldn't help but feel that maybe this handsome, brave, yet silly hero boy could be what she's been looking for all along. He seemed to fill some sort of hole in her life; as if she had been waiting for something all her life to happen, or someone to come along to be her escape. And all she could think is that she finally found it.

Finn stared into the crimson red windows into Marceline's soul with the same intensity and longing as she did. He wished that he knew what she was thinking but that wasn't important right now. For now, all he could do was stare into her beautiful red eyes that seemed to glimmer in the dull candle light. The subtle glow of candles was a constant light source throughout Marcy's house. He could see pain in her eyes, as if she lived a lifetime of misery and disappointment. It made him sad deep down, knowing that she suffered soo much for soo long. Despite the obvious pain, he could also notice the hope and happiness in her beautiful eyes. Those eyes could tell a thousand stories. They showed an incredible amount of emotion and feeling.

Finn the Human was falling for this girl. He knew it but he could hardly notice how much it was influencing him. He was starting to have real feelings for her but didn't know how to react to it. This was a learning process for him. He just smiled at her and gently pulled her head into his chest and hugged her. They laid there until they fell asleep.

A few hours later

*BEEP *BEEP* BEEP *BEEP

Marceline woke up to the annoying sound of something beeping repeatedly. She swatted at her alarm clock, hitting it in attempt to turn off her alarm with no success.

M: "What the-?! Stupid thing!" Marcy yelled in frustration at her alarm clock, knocking it off the nightstand next to her bed, wondering why it hadn't shut off yet.

Suddenly she realized that it wasn't her alarm clock but the device that was supposed to find Maja when she used powerful enough magic.

Finn was straddling Marceline at this point, he usually slept in odd positions but he was mostly hugging her. This was the most normal way she had ever seen him sleep.

M: "Finn!"

F: "Whoa! Who?! What?! Get away from me you clowns!" Finn screamed hysterically as he woke up.

Marceline just stared at him for a second with a confused look on her face. He just looked back with a confused although relieved look. The only reason he wasn't embarrassed was because the relief of Marceline not being a clown like in his nightmare was greater than the fear itself.

M: "Uh, Finn. That thing PB gave me is going off. It's time to go find Jake." Marceline said in a serious tone.

F: "Well, let's go then!" Finn said as he was getting all of his clothes on. Getting Jake and Lady back was the most important thing to Finn at the time, nothing else mattered.

M: "Shouldn't you eat first?"

F: "No! We need to find Jake first!" Finn yelled, sounding incredibly worried.

Marceline would usually have demanded him to heat because he doesn't function at 100% when he's hungry, but she knew that he would rather starve than have anything bad happen to his brother. She then got clothes to cover herself from the now rising sun.

Marceline picked up the device and grabbed Finn by the hand and they flew off to get Jake and Lady back. Marcy flew as fast as she could, going in the direction that the arrow on the device was pointing, to find wherever Maja was hiding. They were heading towards the Desert of Doom, which would be a fitting place for the evil sky witch to hide.

For once while flying Finn didn't look up to admire Marceline. He was dead set of finding Jake and getting him back regardless of how difficult it may be. He would lay down his life for his brother knowing that he would do the same for Finn. The longer they flew, the more Finn became angry. The thought of what Jake was possibly going through infuriated Finn. This whole time Finn thought that Jake was ok. Finn was enjoying his time with Marceline while his brother was in captivity.

As they approached the outskirts of the desert they noticed a massive ominous cloud that rested in the horizon. The menacing black cloud was swirling in circles as it casted a shadow over an ancient looking castle.

M: "That's gotta be it."

F: "Word. Now let's go kick Maja's butt and get my bro back!"

M: "And Lady too right?"

F: "Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't we get her too?" Finn answered to the almost seemingly rhetorical question.

M: "Well you didn't mention… Ah, never mind." Marcy was trying to mess with Finn to make him think that he forgot about Lady, but it backfired.

As they neared the castle, they both started to feel how the wind changed direction as they got closer. The device that Marceline was carrying began to malfunction. Knowing that they shouldn't need it anymore, she turned it off then placed it in to Finn's backpack. When they were about 100 feet from entering the area below the swirling vortex in the sky that casted such a thick shadow on the castle's surrounding area, the wind began to pick up. Marceline set Finn on the ground so that she wouldn't lose grip of his hand or something while flying into the powerful wind current. It was as if the wind was acting as a defense mechanism to keep intruders out. Marceline could somehow move through the wind current with ease but Finn found himself defeated by it; as if there was a force field.

F: "What is this? Why can't I get through?!" Finn yelled as he began to punch into the wind.

M: "I don't know Finn, maybe it's some weird magic to keep mortals out?"

F: "What? That's stupid!" Finn screamed, being flustered that he kept failing at getting through the barrier.

M: "*Sigh*" Marceline sighed impatiently.

She then grabbed the irritated hero's hand and pulled him into her arms and attempted to move through the wind barrier with all of her might. She had to resort to flying because it was much easier.

F: "C'mon Marcy! You can do it! For Jake!" Finn yelled, trying to motivate the vampire. Finn was still dead seat on his one goal of getting his brother back. And nothing will stand in the way of that.

Marceline was hearing what Finn was saying but she wasn't listening. She was beginning to feel weak at this point. She didn't know or understand why, but her heart suddenly began to sink. She was feeling immense sadness from out of nowhere. Her mind began racing and it was full of blind confusion. Bad memories began to resurface and they were affecting her. She felt as if she was being mentally attacked. She started to feel helpless and she was slowly starting to be pushed back by the wind. Her eyes began to tear up and she attempted to fight her sadness with anger to no avail.

M: "What is going on? Why am I even here? I'm not helping anyone. I'm just getting in the way as I always do. I've never done anything right, so why would I be able to start now?" Marceline thought as her sadness reduced all of her senses and she lost all focus.

Finn started to get confused because he noticed that Marceline seemed sadder and her eyes began to tear up. He didn't understand what was going on in her head but he knew that he had to try something to bring her mind back from its dark state. For all he knew, her mind was regressing back to the dark thoughts that brought this powerful vampire to her knees. He couldn't see her like that again; suffering while he just sits idly by.

F: "Marcy! I know you can fight it! Don't give up on me!" Finn yelled, trying once more to motivate Marceline enough to get through the barrier.

As soon as Finn finished his sentence, Marceline's mind quickly began to fade away. It felt as if her life energy was being drained. The vampire's mind lost it's hold on consciousness and she had a flashback. It was about 745 years ago. It was around the time of year when the sun wasn't out as much and it was colder. The entire world was a ghost town and the warmth of a place to call home didn't exist. This was one of the main roots from where Marceline's biggest fears and most painful memories began.

So that's chapter 10. How was it?
