I'm honestly wondering if you guys lost interest in my story due to that really long wait ,_, I'm sorry guys I was just crazy busy with my life. I can't always be on fanficiton and typing up chapters everyday. School's a killer. And Junior year is seriously the worst year. It's been the most fun, but the most stressing. God, Senior year. I can already imagine how bad you will be. -sobs-
I enjoyed this chapter, mostly because of Cake. I tried hard to tap into a sassy cat. Like, how does one become a sassy cat. I'm not sassy, so it was so difficult. I had to watch Fionna and Cake and Bad Little Boy around seven times before it finally crawled into my brain. Hopefully, I nailed it. I'm trying hard to say in character.
And that's another thing. I feel like they're slowly becoming OOC and I don't want that. Marshall isn't caring, or at least he doesn't show it. He's cocky, annoying, "evil", and daring. Fionna is naiive, and innocent, and stubborn, and strong. I've slipped here and there and I'm trying to catch myself now. It's hard because of how I want the story to go but I want to stay true to their character. So difficult.
Well, enough about things you guys probably don't care about. Here's the chapter!
Chapter 14
"FIONNA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU." the raging feline roared. She had grown big, taller than Fionna and her arms were flailing in the air. Then her big eyes grew big as she noticed the little purple bruises on the girl's neck. She bared her sharp teeth and furrowed her brow. Fionna gasped, remembering the hickies and instantly covered her neck "I'LL KILL HIM! I'LL SCRATCH OFF HIS FACE AND RIP OFF HIS FANGS! I'LL PLAY JUMP ROPE WITH HIS SPLEEN! I'LL FEED HIM TO THE WOLVES! LET ME AT 'EM, LET ME AT 'EM!"
Fionna gasped and grabbed a now normal sized Cake, lifting her up and pulling her close so she doesn't run out the door. "Cake! It's okay! I'm fine!" she yelled, trying to get her sister to understand. Maybe she should've remembered the little bruises. But they didn't hurt her, so she forgot all about them. The cat growled, her claws barring out as she scratched the air.
"NO! NOBODY TOUCHES MAH BABY LIKE THAT! NO ONE!"
"Cake!" Fionna clutched the cat closer to her chest. "Nothing happened! They're just little bruises! They'll go away!"
"NOTHING HAPPENED?! NOTHING HAPPENED MAH BUTT! I WASN'T BORN YESTERDAY! HOW COULD YOU LET HIM TOUCH YOU FIONNA?!" Cake was furious; her eyes were fuming with hatred. If you looked into them you'd probably see a pit of fire growing wildly by the minute. It didn't seem like she was going to come to her senses anytime soon. But Fionna knew exactly she what to do when she got crazy angry. The girl held her tightly to her chest with her left arm and with the right, began scratching behind one of Cake's ears.
Suddenly the cat relaxed, her once tense body was now puddy in Fionna's hands. The adventuress heard her sister purr and she sighed in relief at her calm sister.
"Fionna.." she cat said between purrs. "I'm still going to kill him.." Fionna heaved a sigh and stopped scratching behind Cake's ear.
"Seriously Cake?"
"He touched you, and there isn't even a tier one yet!" she argued, getting angry again.
"Cake, nothing happened last night. Okay?" the girl felt the slight lie between her teeth, but she knew nothing serious really happened last night. So it wasn't a complete lie.
Cake glared at her and sighed, she then hugged Fionna. "Baby I was so worried." she hugged her human sister tighter, "I just get worried when you're around that no good conniving Vampire." she let go and jumped out of Fionna's arms. She wasn't mad anymore, and she didn't want to claw out Marshall's face, or play around with his spine. She was stable, and that made Fionna relax a bit. She got that Cake was just worried and being the over protective sister that she was, but they're just hickies; they'll heal.
"I know Cake, I'm sorry." Fionna apologized and plopped down on the couch.
Cake made her way to the kitchen and began making some tea. Fionna wasn't sure what flavor of tea she was making, however it smelled really good and she really wanted a cup for herself. She could hear the boiling water coming from the teapot, but the tea wasn't ready yet. Cake was humming softly to herself as she waited patiently for the tea to finish up, there were two small white china tea cups on the counter for both Fionna and Cake. Both little cups were being held by a little white saucer with gold painted sash patterns painted onto the plate.
Fionna felt anxiety set in the pit of her stomach again, it's now or never.
"Hey Cake," she faintly asked, waiting for her sister to reply.
"Yeah Fi?" Cake called out from the kitchen, her attention still on the teapot.
"Uh…" the girl hesitated, but then gained some courage. She got up from the couch and made her way next to her sister, but away from the stove. She sucked in her breath.
"Marshall Lee needs my help because there's some type of war bizz going on with the Nightosphere and the Vampire Kingdom and I kindasortawannagoinandjoin because Marshall needs all the help he can get and I really don't him to disappear on me again and probably never come back." the wind was practically knocked right out of her since she said that so fast. She gasped in for oxygen and panted slightly. Cake's tail poofed upright while her face was expressionless.
Silence.
"I AM NOT LETTING YOU GO TO A DANGEROUS PLACE LIKE THAT, ALONE, WITH THAT BLOODSUCKER!" the Cake yelled, fuming again.
"Hey, I take offense to that." a cool voice said from above. Fionna jumped a bit, but smiled and looked up to see Marshall floating only a few inches above her, a black umbrella in his grasp.
"Marshall Lee!" she cheered happily. Marshall winked at her before directing his attention to the feline.
"She'll be safe with me." he added.
"Safe? Safe? Vampires and Demons, you call that safe?!" the cat shouted, giving the vampire a deathly glare. All Marshall did was shrug before landing on the ground next to the little bunny hero.
"I won't let anything touch her, if they even get near her I'll tear them apart." he replied, showing off his sharp teeth. His eyes changed from pitch black to deep red and he hissed.
Cake crossed her arms and glared, "I'm coming with you then!" she said, still not believing the vampire. But Fionna thought otherwise.
"Cake, no! As much as I want you to come with me I need you here with Lord M, just in case any bad guy butts get in the way!" Fionna said loudly, she looked at her sister and mouthed a 'please', giving her puppy dog eyes.
The feline sighed, not amused by the news at all. She looked at Marshall, her arms still crossed. "How long will this be?"
"Not sure." he responded coolly. He left his spot from the ground and lifted into the air, laying back with one hand behind his head. Cake growled to herself and then looked at Fionna.
"Fine." she said in defeat. "But Marshall Lee if anything happens to her I swear you will not see the moon again!" she hissed. Marshall chuckled before swooping down to pick up the blonde heroine into his lap. He took her hat from her head and placed it on his.
"She's safe with me."
The teapot suddenly went off, causing Fionna to jump and almost fall off of Marshall's lap, before he caught her by her waist and lifted her back into his embrace. "Glob Fionna, we're not even in the kingdom yet and you already need my help." he teased, showing off his fangs. She elbowed him gently, blushing.
"Come on you two, quit fooling around." Cake ushered them back to the living room, holding two cups of steaming hot tea. She walked to the couch and placed the cups on the little table in front of her before sitting down. Marshall floated to the cat set Fionna down on the couch, so she could drink her tea with her sister.
He hovered over them and watched, "You know, I never had tea. How does it taste?" he asked curiously, looking at the cups.
"Cake and PG's tea are usually sweet due to how much honey and sugar they both put in it." Fionna responded, blowing at the light honey brown liquid. "There's different types of flavors too, I don't know the names though."
"Hmm." he responded, he lost some of the curiosity though. He's used too not being able to eat or drink anything else but the color red. And, occasionally, blood; but only when he really needs it. Like it's a life or death situation type of deal. Tea seems really good, but he could live without ever tasting it. Wasn't a big deal.
Fionna looked up at the vampire boy, curiosity in her eyes. "So when do we go to the kingdom?" she asks, teacup in her hand. Marshall had his eyes closed, and now both arms were behind his resting head.
"In a day or two."
I feel like they're getting shorter. I hate short.
