Marceline was crouched beside an open window, waiting for the family to make their minds up about going out to dinner or staying in.
Unfortunately they decided on staying inside, making marceline growl in annoyance and sneak around to the back where there was an unlocked door.
She could hear the mother of the family grumbling about how 'kids never get out these days' to her husband who just sat there and read his news paper.
Her first idea was to check where abouts the adults were but realized if she did, she'd be caught and probably end up in jail. The second idea was to head up stairs and use their bathroom the freshen up.
"Who are you?" She heard one of the kids demand as she finally washed off all the blood from the...incident.
"Listen..i just came to clean myself up, im not here to cause any trouble."
"Who's there jake?" Another boy, this time younger, came into view. His golden hair was tucked safely away in a lop sided bear hat. Believe it or not Marceline had seen weirder.
"An intruder."
"What's her name?"
"My names Marceline, marceline Abadeer." The eldest boys eyes widened.
"Marceline, your in my physics class right? I'm Jake, Jake dueggo and this is my 16 year old brother Finn hueggo." Marceline looked at Jake for a moment before grinning at him.
"Right, right! your the dude who keeps making fart jokes about the teacher right?"
"Yup, that's me." he said, confidently crossing his arms smiling at the recognition.
"Erm...if you don't mind me asking..What's with the different last names?"
"Oh right, he's adopted."
"Yeah, they found me outside the church in one of the bushes." Marceline looked at him like he had just sprouted a second head.
"You..Your kidding..right?" Finn chuckled at Marceline's reaction and shook his head.
"Nope." Jake said, popping the P.
"At a church..." Finn nodded again. "In a bush?"
"Yeah...it is kinda weird right? they were some rare flower so my mum decided to go and look at them and ended up finding me."
"All right well...that's cool i guess?" Jake and Finn led her to their room and marceline could've sworn she saw jake sniff her.
He's like you.
Great, when i don't need you, you talk to me. but when i do, you don't.
The eldest one i mean, not the blonde one though...i am getting a rather strange vibe from the youngest one.
your not going to make me kill them are you?
Nothing. God damn it!
"Hey, listen as much as I'd love to stay here i cant. I've got to leave." Finn frowned but let her sneak down stairs.
"Marceline, will you come back soon?" He was like a puppy, always wanting to be with somebody...even if that somebody just murdered somebody else.
"Sure kiddo."
Marshall followed his parents towards Clinton street. He could smell the remains left of Marceline's savage attack.
"Do you really think she's stronger?" He asked.
"If the master says so, then yes."
"Why didn't we notice before?" His mother hissed in Hudsons ear when they found themselves a few steps away from the path.
"Because i, like everyone else in this family, expected it to be Marshall."
"Wait, so she has no idea what she's capable of?" His father nodded. "Dude, that's dangerous! Like, uber dangerous!"
"Which is why..we have to find her before she makes any more mess." Marshall followed Hudson's glare and saw the body of a man.
"But why would she kill someone when she has no idea what she's doing?"
"Exactly, she's getting help from somebody and we're going to find out who. If she isn't then some things obviously wrong and we have to help her."
"Why couldn't it have been Marshall instead of her?" Hudson shrugged and inhaled deeply, looking for marceline.
"She's gone south. this tracks getting old though...she could be anywhere..."
Bonnibel's POV
I was doing some extra school work when my mum called me down urgently. It was unusual for her to interrupt my studies so i knew it must have been important.
"Bonnibel, come and look, there's been a murder not far from here!"
"A young woman whom we believe to be the Saviour was caught on camera, Tearing a man apart. We are in possession of the tape but have been informed that it is truly too gruesome to put on TV." No..no, why would Marceline do that? Well..if it even was marceline. "Her victim has not been identified; the corpse was ripped to shreds and the video is too dark to make out a face."
A commercial about Colgate Toothpaste came on and bonnibel sighed, looking at her mother.
"Do..Do you think it is her?"
"I'm not sure..It definitely looked like her but the man was apparently harassing a woman before the entire incident. If it was her she had a reason...but not one to murder someone like that."
"yeah.."
