Hiya guys! Finally got this chapter done! I been going through a writers block and I've been tempted to just quit writing BUT.. I won't. I know how annoying it can be when you are getting into a story and the author just decides to stop. Review guys and tell me if it's good enough to continue because if it sucks you can just tell me! But I will try and keep writing as much as I can. :) Enjoy
~ Fionna's POV~
As Marshall flew me home, I wondered if he really did like me. Not just as a friend. Like-like.
I only thought that he kissed me because he felt bad for me. He never really showed any sign that he liked me after that. But the way I felt when he held me, or was even near him, my heart sped up and I got butterflies inside of me. I've felt this way about him for a while. I can't believe I'm just realizing this now! I guess I've just been pushing away the possibility until now
Marshall flew me into the tree house and set me down gently by the entrance.
"Marshall, I know I thanked you about a million times, but I really do mean it. Thank you."
"Its nothing Fi. I would do anything for you. I'm just glad you're okay now." He hugged me tightly, not pulling away.
We stood there frozen, just holding each other in silence. I was shocked for a few seconds, realizing that Marshall was the one to hug me, not the other way around. He wasn't one to hug people. I buried my face into his shoulder and I could smell his alluring scent. He smelt like strawberries and a scent similar to firewood smoke.
I felt him playing with my hair and I realized that he still held my bunny hat. I backed away, self-consciously touching my hair. I felt embarrassed, and I didn't know what for. He's played with my hair before.
"You should take your hat off more often. Your hair is really pretty"
Marshall complimented me. Whoa. He didn't even say that sarcastically or jokingly at all. He's seen my hair before, but he's never said that. What's up with him recently?
"Um, thanks" I blushed deeper. We stood in silence for a few long seconds. Marshall then backed away from me and spoke,
"I guess I better get home." I almost forgot he didn't live here with me anymore. I suddenly felt very lonely.
As Marshall was about to fly out into the night, I grabbed his hand and practically yelled,
"Wait!"
He turned and looked at me in confusion and set his feet down on the ground in front of me.
"Marshall..I-I need to tell you something" I need to tell him. I've kept my feelings in for far too long. But why am I so nervous? I can tell him anything, can't I? I need to.
Marshall took a step closer to me and looked to me in curiosity. "What is it Fi?"
"Um.. Well I mean every time I see you, and because we are best friends we see each other a lot, and you took care of me for a long time so I saw you everyday and stuff..." Quit babbling and get to the point! I can do this! "What I'm trying to say is every time I see you I feel all weird inside and I really like being around you and my brain goes all stupid and.." I was now looking down to the grassy floor in embarrassment, not wanting to look Marshall in the eyes; afraid of what I would see. "I think I like-like you.." I whispered almost inaudibly.
Marshall was silent.
He doesn't like me. Why isn't he saying anything? He's probably mad at me. He probably never thought of me in that way even..
I slowly looked up into his eyes. I realized he was much closer to me than he was before. He didn't look angry, instead he had a blank expression on his face. I immediately regretted what I just told him. I bowed my head once again and started to turn into the entrance of the house, feeling rejected.
"I'm sorry... nevermind I'll just go.."
"Fionna.."
I looked towards him and he cupped his hand underneath my chin. He started to lean in towards me.
Before I could reply with anything, his lips were pressed against mine. The pain of what I thought was rejection slipped away. He wrapped his arms around my waist and he both started floating into the air a few feet off the ground. This kiss was different from before. It was more gentle, more sweet.
As we floated back down, I felt him smile. He turned us around a few times before our feet made contact with the grass. He pulled away, still grinning. I could feel myself smiling like an idiot and blushing madly. He tucked a strand of hair behind my hair and stared into my eyes.
"I like you too Fi." He looked relieved when he spoke it. "Oh, and I almost forgot. Here." He showed me my bunny hat that he was still holding, offering it to me.
"No, you can just give it to me to tomorrow." I yawned.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
I hugged him, and before he flew away he kissed me on the cheek and then winked at me. I stood outside my door, watching him fly away. When he was finally out of sight, I slowly walked inside and climbed up the ladders to my room. I flopped onto my bed in bliss, everything was seemed perfect. I've dreamed of us being together for a while. But I never knew how happy I'd be!
After I changed into my PJ's and settled myself into my cocoon of a sleeping bag, I thought I heard a noise. It's probably just the wind making noises outside. I settled down into my sleeping bag and closed my eyes.
I heard it again. Pulling up my covers to my chin, It's probably nothing I said trying to sound confident,
"Hello? Is anybody there? I'm gonna kick your butt if you try to mess with me!" I heard a swooshing noise and felt the breeze of it hit my face. I heard the noise of someone hissing. A noise vampires always make. Oh, it's only Marshall. Phew.
"Marshall I know you're there you butt face! Come out and show yourself instead of trying to scare me!" I giggled. But there was no response. "Marshall? This isn't funny, I know you're there!" Why did he come back to the tree fort in the first place?
I then felt his cold hands holding down my arms and he pinned down my legs with his feet. I froze. What was he doing!? I was scared now.
"Silly little girl..." I heard a female voice hiss. It was definitely not Marshall. I tried to kick myself out of my sleeping bag, but she started to strangle me. I gasped for air, trying to attack.
"Your little boyfriend isn't going to save you now little human. You're mine now!" I could hardly breathe and my vision was getting blurry. I struggled for one last attempt of an attack but I was becoming too weak. Feeling all my energy drain from me I whispered,
"Marshall..." I felt her release her icy hands from my neck and she kicked my head, turning my world pitch black.
Ooooh what will happen to Fionna? Will Marshall find out what happened? The suspense is killing me! XD
