~Two years later~
Finn had reached the age of eight, he was still as boisterous as ever and tended to get into quiet a bit of trouble still. However, the Ice King had been noticing some differences in the boy, for one he had began to take a big interest in the Ice Kings powers, exclaiming with great joy that ice was 'pretty rad' not to say Finn had never taken an interest before, it just seemed that as he got older, the more interested he became.
Upon seeing the younger boys interest in his powers, the Ice King couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy. After all, not many liked his powers, let alone took an interest in them but Finn found them cool and seemed to express a great interest in learning about them.
He had made a promise to Finn, that at some point in his life he would teach Finn how to control ice like he did. The only problem is, he had to figure out some way to do it, giving him the crown was not an option, he needed the crown for his own powers, without it he could do nothing.
However, that didn't matter right now, someway or another, Ice King would figure out a way for Finn to have ice powers just like him. The mere thought just brought a smile to the mans face, "Hey dad, you listening?" The Ice King all but jumped out of his skin at the sound of Finns voice, snapping out of his thoughts he turned to face the younger boy.
For a moment the Ice King was in a daze, having been lost in his own thoughts he completely missed what Finn was talking about. "Y-yeah, I'm listening!" Ice King insisted, with a wave of his hand, Finn looked up at the other, almost as if he didn't believe him, before shrugging it off and continuing to speak.
At that moment, something caught the corner of the Ice Kings eye, an unknown shadow of some sorts moving in the room that the other hadn't been aware of until now. The Ice King froze in place, his eyes darting from side to side, however, he caught sight of nothing. "I must be seein' things" he muttered to himself, however he could not shake of the feeling that someone or something was watching him.
Finn stopped speaking for a moment, noticing that his father had stopped in his tracks. Curious blue eyes moved to look up at him, as Finn tugged the mans robe, "Dad? Why'd you stop?" Finn questioned, his eyebrow raising in confusion.
The Ice King suddenly felt rather nervous, it felt as though someone else was in the room and he wasn't aware of who it was. A gust of wind rushed by, causing Finn to shiver slightly but not him, "Uhh, no reason" the Ice King insisted, not wanting to cause Finn any worry.
A worried look crossed Finns features, almost as if he knew the Ice King wasn't being honest with him. Before he had time to react, the Ice King could feel the presence of another being behind him all of a sudden, whoever was in the room was moving silently and swiftly.
Ice King was about to turn around when he suddenly heard something.
"Boo..."
The voice, though barley above a whisper, was enough to send the Ice King cowering behind Finn in fear. Finns eyes widened at the Ice Kings actions, he moved In front of the older man in an almost protective manor, as he drew his ice sword and pointed it at the intruder and with an almost determined look on his features he asked.
"W-who are you and what do you want?"
Though he was attempting to sound fierce, his voice wavered slightly. Whoever this intruder was, they managed to scare Ice King, therefore Finn viewed them as a threat, the intruder however, started to laugh this caught Finn of guard.
The laugh, sounded more like a cackle, one that would belong to a witch of some sorts but the Ice King recognized it straight away and Imminently straightened up. His breathed out a sigh of relief, as he turned to face the intruder, "What's the big idea, you almost gave me a heart attack!" The Ice King exclaimed, huffing a little.
As the laughter died down, Finn was left feeling as confused as ever. "Oh, man! That was classic! " the intruder exclaimed, as Finn got a look at the person he noted she was female but not like any girl he had seen before, no, this one was different.
Her skin was grey in colour, her teeth pointed as if they had been sharpened by something, the female seemed to float with ease. If Finn wasn't so confused right now, he might of been impressed. "Yeah, yeah, you got me" the Ice King admitted, reluctantly before adding, "What do you want Marceline?"
The girl known as Marceline smirked at the question, casually floating around Ice King and Finn as she gave her answer. "I got bored, so I decided to drop by" she replied, with a wave of her hand, "What's with the kid?" She added, her eyebrow quirking as a finger moved to point at Finn.
The Ice King smiled at the question and almost proudly he announced. "This is Finn, he's Uhh..." The Ice King suddenly seemed reluctant wondering if he should tell Marceline the truth, the vampire waiting impatiently for an answer, it appeared, however, Finn beat him to it.
"I'm his son!"
The younger boy chirped, having somehow gained some confidence in realizing Marceline wasn't a bad guy. "Say what now?" Marcelines expression suddenly changed, she froze in mid-air as if she couldn't believe what she just heard, The Ice King rubbed the back of his head as Marceliens eyes bore into him.
A moment of awkward silence passes before Marceline finally spoke. "You better explain yourself, now" she demanded, her foot tapping the air. Somehow, the Ice King gathered she'd want an explication, so the Ice King would give her one, opening his mouth to speak the Ice King began to explain the past events.
~ One explication later ~
When the Ice King had finally finished telling Marceline how he raised Finn from a child. The vampire seemed a tad more calm, "So let me get this straight..." She began, "You just found the kid and raised him just like that?" She asked. The Ice King nodded his head, "Yeah, I just explained all that a few seconds ago" he mentioned, his brows frowning a little.
A small smile then appeared on Marcelines face, as if she was remembering a happy memory. "Geez, you never fail to surprise me Simon..." Upon uttering that name, she moved her hand to cover her mouth, This earned her a weird look from Finn and Ice King.
"Who's Simon?"
Finn perked up, having been quiet through the whole explication. "Never mind" Marceline replied quickly, letting out a small sigh, "Wow, I still can't believe you've managed to raise a kid" Marceline chuckled lightly, shaking her head. The Ice King frowned a little, "hey, what's that supposed to mean?" He demanded with a small pout.
The female held her hands up in defence. "Hey it means nothing, I'm just shocked that's all, I was half expecting this to be some haphazard scheme to bag yourself a wife!" Marceline exclaimed with a laugh, it was then her attention turned to Finn, before the Ice King could respond to the girls statement she began talking to him.
"So, your names Finn huh?"
Upon being addressed, Finn nodded his head, "Yeah, that's right! " he exclaimed cheerily, much to Marcelines amusement. "Cool, I'm Marceline" she introduced herself, holding out a hand, the Ice King seemed pretty happy to see the two getting off to a good start, "Marceline?" Finn repeated the name, nodding his head.
He reached out to take her hand giving it a firm shake. "Nice to meet ya! " he chimed, a smile forming as he looked up at the female, "Same to you kid, " she replied, ruffling his hair a little.
Now that Finn had seemed to grow more comfortable with Marceline, he decided to ask a question that had been bugging him since she first appeared. "Hey, Marceline? Why are your teeth all pointy?" The simple question earned him a flat out 'what' from the girl.
However, she soon chuckled. "Well, you see Finn, I'm a vampire" she told him casually, the boys eyes widened in shock at the news, "A vampire?! That's so... "
