Marceline was standing on the balcony. The sky was a dull grey, and rain fell heavily around. She stared serenely off into the distance, and closed her ancient eyes. She felt a perfect clarity she hadn't felt in a while. Her mouth opened slightly, allowing the moonlight to reflect off her sharp smooth fangs. She let out a cool breath of air. Marceline softly opened her eyes as she heard the quiet creak of the door knob in motion. One of the double doors behind her opened, and a little girl walked out calmly. She stopped for only a moment to feel the rain against her bubbly black hair before she reached for her hood, and pulled in on. Celine approached the balustrade, and looked through it's notches out at storm. Marceline glanced down at her, and smirked. Marceline reached for her daughter's hand who happily accepted it. Celine gained a simper that contrasted her deep introspective expression only a moments ago. Usually when Marceline held someone's hand she could feel as their temperature subtly dropped to meet hers, but that didn't happen with Celine. If anything Celine's hands were even colder than Marceline's. The strangest things made Marceline happy...
Bubblegum was busy tonight with her royal duties and all that. Kandace was presumably still asleep in bed. Marceline thought to start a conversation. She was about to initiate some casual childish small talk but then stopped herself. Her children reminded Marceline of herself at her age intellectually, and even emotionally in the case of Celine. Perhaps some of that is a vampire thing. Marceline picked the girl up in her arms. Celine turned away from the storm and towards her mother. Marceline was holding her in a style reminiscent of Bubblegum holding her yesterday. Marceline smiled sweetly, "hey!" Celine looked at her, and smiled in response. Marceline continued, "I cool with doing what ever you girls want to do today." Celine just shrugged.
Marceline pondered over the idea for a minute. She really felt like she should be hanging out with them, especially now. Marceline took a look up at the moon, "let's go inside."
NOTE: I've been kind of disconnected from this story for a while due to me relentlessly pumping out chapters for 'Breaking the Ice' so... I guess tell me what you gals/guys want? What do you wanna see?
