AN/: My only excuse. I was lazy. Um, I apologize I don't feel like going back to the reviews and finding the three... sooo Thanks to all reviewers and suggestions they will be taken into consideration and remember... Todd has yet to go away.. and Ashley is plotting in the dark.

Marceline POV.
"Um… Can we… talk somewhere?" Marshall said glancing at my face every few seconds. I peeked a look over my shoulder to see Finn grinning like crazy and motioning for me to go.
"Uh… Sure, I guess." Marshall sighed in relief and motioned for me to follow him.
~a few minutes later~
"Soo… where are we going?" Marshall and I had been airborne for a little while and it seemed as though we were wandering aimlessly.
"A place I found on my first day here… c'mon it's in the woods." We descended quickly and landed at the very base of the dark and mysterious woods. Marshall motioned for me to be quiet and crept on quietly but quickly.
I heard a faint whine and wondered where he was taking me, and what on earth he wanted to talk about. We had unofficially broken up less than 4 hours ago.
We suddenly broke into a clearing that had a surreal quality to it, the air had a faint golden sparkle and the ground seemed to be steaming, although it was December and at least 40 degrees.
Marshall who stood next to me watching my reaction, pointed to a small cluster of midnight blue objects a few feet away. He motions for me to sit and transforms his body into that of a wolf and crawled toward the creatures I had only just recognized as wolf cubs. He took one of the small cubs into his mouth and brought him over to me dropping the cub at my feet, turning back into his regular form.
"This one… is Rosalie. She's the youngest of the litter." Rosalie began to crawl onto my leg her claw catching my skin and drawing a thin line of blood. I picked her up quickly and settled her on my lap. I scratched under her ears and looked to Marshall for him to continue.
"The mother cares for them when she can. But she's hurt, broke her paw. So I come here when I have time and just make sure they're okay." This was an odd side of Marshall I didn't get the luxury of seeing often; His soft side. The side so often hidden, far away from the surface, I'm sure I was the only one who ever saw it.
Rosalie had begun a steady pant as I smoothed her fur.
"So… what did you want to talk about again?" Marshall shifted uncomfortably and averted his eyes, focusing on the now sound asleep Rosalie.
"Um… I just wanted to say I'm sorry." His eyes met mine finally and they held such intensity I couldn't look away if I wanted to.
"I was wrong to do what I did, and yeah I finally realize how jealous I was and… I'm sorry I've been acting like a total prick." Somewhere between the lines I had completely zoned out and had been wrapping my mind around his apology.
A loud bark followed by furious sharp claws that ripped at my flesh brought me out of my trance.
"MARCELINE!" I blink my eyes for a long moment before realizing I had scratched a little too hard on Rosalie, who had in response made meat shred out of my thighs. And Marshall was shaking my shoulders in panic and screaming my name.
"Marceline! What the hell!? Are you okay?" I looked down at my thighs which were dangerously red. Crimson even. And it was pooling over on to the grass.
I shook my head just as I started to see black spots.
Marshall's POV
I was pacing back and forth in The Royal Hospital while Nurse poundcake worked on Marceline in the operating room. As soon as she blacked out in the wolf cubs hideaway I flew her directly to the Candy Kingdom. There the candy people looked both shocked and outraged and the presence of a male vampire. I pushed past the confused looking guards and ran straight to where the hospital would be if we were in Aaa. Luckily it was in the same place here. An evil looking little peppermint guy came running towards me yelling like he was on fire or something and scurried off warning me that he was alerting the princess of this intrusion.
It was an entire hour later that the princess finally came running down the halls dressed in pink scrubs with her tiara perfectly in place and I jumped up from my seat on the tiled floor and held out my hand to meet her.
"Greetings! I'm Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum. And you are?" She shook my hand a little hesitantly. And looked nervously into the operation room.
"Marshall Lee the Vampire King." The princess mumbled a 'nice to meet you' and peeked back into the operation room trying to decipher who exactly was in there.
"Oh my glob. Is that Marceline in there? What is she doing in there?"
"There was an accident… In the woods… Her legs got shredded like a meat grinder." The princess let out a strangled gasp and slid to the floor along with me.
Long moments passed before we talked again.
"How do you know her anyways, Marshall Lee?"
"Well, known her since we were little 7 years old about, had a fight about something and I was trying to make up for it. And then look where that got her." I sighed just as I heard the monitor in the room behind us flat line.
