To the story.
It's been 2 weeks since Finn mysteriously disappeared and Marceline is broken. She has been sitting in a corner of the tree house, in the fetal position, holding Hambo, till Jake carried her upstairs every night when he was going to bed. He would place her in Finns bed and she would get up and go back into the corner every morning. Jake would give red foods and basically force her to eat them.
She never said a word, just sat there with an empty blank stare. Jake knew that Finn would come back, but Marceline didn't believe he'd want her back. She had been such a fool. She had attacked him because she refused to listen. He was the first guy since long before she had become queen of the vampires that was honestly good to her. And she had messed it up because he went to do something for her.
She got angry at herself and a fire began to burn inside her. She had to go find him and nothing was going to stop her. She was going to wait till the sun sank below the horizon and the sky turned black. It wouldn't be long. Just a few more hours and she'd be off. Till then she sat in the corner and waited.
When the sun finally sank she went out the door without a word. She flew off into the night sky searching the ground for him. 'This is gonna take too long.' She thought to herself. She stopped and thought for a moment before she decided to search the places he was most likely and least likely at.
After hours of searching she had finally found a clue, the scent of human blood. She began to follow it, and as she followed the scent, it got stronger. The stronger it got, the happier she got and more she worried she became. 'If the scent was this strong, Finn must be in trouble.' Marceline thought to herself. As she flew through the night sky she began to see monsters, beasts, and demons littering the forest below her. She didn't find it strange since she figured Finn was taking out some aggression.
She got worried when she saw bodies of people from the candy kingdom and several other kingdoms mixed in with the demons. She flew down to the ground to investigate and get a better track on the scent. With all the blood and decomposing bodies it was getting hard to track the single scent, even if she only had to follow the bodies now, she didn't want to take any chances.
Marceline walked over to inspect the massive body of a citizen from the Muscle Kingdom. She was surprised at what she found, slash marks of both claws and a blade as well as bite marks. When she inspected the marks they were not those of a demon. She knew something bad was going down and she had to hurry.
Marceline began running as fast as she could seeing the same scene on both sides of the forest's path, bodies strewn everywhere with no real care who or what they were. Marceline stopped dead when she heard a voice call for her to wait. The voice was riddled with pain. Even though Marceline had to find Finn, she knew she had to help. 'That boy has rubbed off on me too much' she told herself as she turned to go find the source of the voice. "Hello?" Called Marceline. "Anyone out here alive?" She yelled out again, hoping for a response this time. "Over hear." The voice called weakly. Marceline heard the voice come from behind some bushes and ran over to them, jumping over them easily and checking the other side.
Her eyes went wide when she saw the battered form of Princess Bubblegum. "Oh my God. What happened, Bonnie?" Marceline asked with actual concern. If PB wasn't the only extra cue she had in finding out more about how Finn was involved with all this, she probably would have just gotten up and left the princess to either die or be helped by some other unfortunate soul.
"Finn." She said. Marceline grabbed her by the front of her shirt and pulled her up to her face. "What happened?" she asked menacingly. "We were walking through the forest, me and dozens from other kingdoms were walking through the forest." She said in a pained voice. "When he showed up he was angry. He was far away and I couldn't see his face, but the way he walked said it all. You not being by his side only added to the fact you two had a fight. He was walking towards us when a creature showed up. It was gonna kill us all but he just easily cut its head off. When I tried to show him my," She cleared her throat cautiously," "Gratitude, he got mad and I got shocked by lightning."
"Serves you right." Marceline interrupted. "Whatever." She replied snottily, "It was weird though. The lightning wasn't any of the normal colors. It was white." "White?" Marceline said, shocked. "White." PB said confirming. "He looked different too. His hair was light white and his eyes were a really pale blue. I would've mistaken those for white too if there wasn't a black ring around his iris's. He began radiating energy and I guess the monsters were attracted to it because they were coming in droves after him."
"He withdrew his sword again and began slashing everywhere and we ran. Eventually he just appeared in front of us and started attacking. Eventually he got me and I fell here." She finished. Marceline felt sick, this was almost completely her fault, Bonibel had a little blame in this too. Marceline picked up Pb and carried her off, following the scent and trail of dead bodies.
Should have just given me what I wanted. Bye
