The first thing Marceline had expected upon revealing she was a vampire was for Finn to freak out, maybe scream a little, most kids his age would flee at the sight of a vampire but no, Finn just stared as if she were some sort of freak-show and honestly it was making Marceline feel a little uncomfortable, heck, even the Ice King shot Finn a worried glance, as if he were concerned or something.
Marcelines brows furrowed together as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Look, kid, I understand if this freaks you out but-" Marceline hadn't the chance to finish her sentence, she noticed a huge grin break out in Finns face, which stunned the vampire into silence. One thing she hadn't expected Finn to do was smile and what came next only added to her shock.
"Cool!"
Was the first thing that left Finns mouth, the child's hands clenched, he seemed barley able to contain his excitement. "This is so cool! " Finn repeated, turning to face the Ice King, "Dad, why didn't you tell me you were friends with a vampire lady?" Finn questioned, a small frown appearing on his features as if he was accusing Ice King of purposefully missing out this detail.
Holding his hands up in defence the Ice Kings simple response was, "You never asked" this only seemed to upset the child, probing Finn to poke an accusing finger at the older man. "How can I ask about something I don't know about?" He retorted, only for his anger to fade away as Marceline hovered beside him.
Curious blue eyes were instantly drawn to the floating female, the Ice King could barley think of a response, knowing Finn had a fair point. "So, let me get this straight... You're not scared or anything? It doesn't freak you out knowing I'm a vampire?" Marceline felt the need to double check, this reaction, this acceptance was new to her.
Other then a few others she met, most feared her and she took delight in that fear. "Nope!" Finn chimed, a grin appearing on his features, Marceline returned the grin, "Huh? Who'd of thought it" she said mostly to herself, offering a careless shrug.
It wasn't soon after that conversation, Finn began asking questions, he was a curiouser child to say the least. "I've never met a real vampire before, is it true you drink blood?" At the simple question Marceline offered an amused chuckle, so Finn didn't know about vampires that must explain his bravery, right?. "Well, yeah but it's not the blood, it's the shade of red I like" Marceline explained.
As if to prove a point, she took out an apple from her pocket and bring it to her lips, her teeth sunk in the apple and began draining the colour out of it until it was nothing more then a blob of Gray matter. Finns eyes widened in amazement, his hands began failing in excitement, "Wow! Did you see that?" He exclaimed, a hand pointing at the apple as he bounced on his feet.
Both Marceline and the Ice King couldn't help but chuckle at Finns actions, he was always so excitable, "Heh, nice kid" Marcelines nodded her head in approval, Ice King seemed almost proud at this complement seeing as he was the one who raised him.
"That was cool, Marceline! What else can you do?"
Finns voice cut in again, as he asked the question. Marceline couldn't help but smirk at this, "You really wanna know, huh?" She questioned, as Finn nodded his head quickly. "Alright, you seem like a cool guy so what do you say we have a little fun?" Marcelines eyes seemed to twinkle with a mischievous glint as she said this.
"Fun? Uh, okay?"
Finn answered uncertainly, "Great, come with me!" Marceline took ahold of Finns arm and began dragging him towards an open window, only to be stopped by Ice King. "Where do you think you're going?" He questioned, taking Finns other hand to keep him in place.
Marcelines eyebrow quirked as he asked this. "Im just taking him out for a little while, gonna show him some of my 'sweet moves' " she chimed, the Ice King looked uncertain. "You've taken him out before, right?" Marceline asked, the Ice King said nothing but hung his head down.
Marceline frowned. "You know he can't stay here forever right? He has to leave at some point" Marceline mentioned unaware of Finn listening to the conversation, "I know, I know" the Ice King sighed, maybe Marceline was right, maybe Finn should start exploring the outside world be that as it may it didn't stop him worrying.
It was then an idea came to mind. "Okay, but only if I can come too" Finns eyes lit up at Ice Kings words, "Really? You mean it, we can go outside?" How could the Ice King say no to Finn?. "Yeah, I mean it" the Ice King replied, instantly Finn darted over to the older male, his hand falling out of Marcy's grasp and he proceeded to hug the man.
The Ice King was taken back by the younger boys actions but non the less returned them. "Thanks dad" Finn chimed, returning to Marcelines side and taking her hand again, the Ice King chuckled nervously, he couldn't help fretting and thinking of the worse case scenarios.
Marceline gave him a reassuring look, "It's gonna be okay, y'know! We're gonna have a blast!" The vampire exclaimed, a hand reaching out to lightly punch the Ice Kings shoulder. Ice King felt a little better when hearing her words and gave a nod in response, "You ready Finn?"
Marceline looked at the younger as they both headed towards the window, Finn hadn't a clue that Marceline planed on flying him to where she wanted to take them but he would soon find out. "Yeah, I'm ready!" He reined enthusiastically.
"Okay, hold in tight!"
Before he could respond, with one swift movement, Marceline jumped out of the window taking Finn with her. The screams of the child was more then enough to frighten the Ice King, he for one had expected her to use the door at least, straight away the Ice King flew out of the window, "Finn!" He called, his voice expressing the concern he felt.
What was Marceline thinking? Then he heard a familer cackle beside him Marceline was floating and Finn was hoist upon her back, clinging to her neck for dear life. Oh,that's right, Marceline can fly too, if he wasn't so worried he might if scolded himself for forgetting that minor detail.
"Relax old man, I got this!"
Marceline said noticing the Ice Kings worried expression, "Old man? Why I should-" whatever he 'should' be doing was forgotten when he heard Finns voice calling for him, imminently he flew beside the vampire who didn't seem concerned that Finn was possible frightened, that or she didn't notice.
"I'm here, Finn"
The Ice Kings voice rose slightly, making sure the boy could hear him. Finns head rose from the back of Marcelines neck to reveal a startled but smiling boy, the Ice King breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem like Finn was scared anymore.
Perhaps things wouldn't be so bad after all.
