Everything was happening in slow motion around him. Snow was blowing in every open window. Marshall couldn't believe it. The Ice Queen was here. He could hear her maniacal laugh as she flew through the window behind him, knocking him down into the snow covered floor. Quickly, he sat back up, wiping the snow out of his eyes and stared the spectacle before him. Fiona was swinging kicks and jabs at the Queen and Ice Queen was blocking them off with snow. Marshall flew forward, fist out, ready to hit Ice Queen, when he heard a zap.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Pretty boy. It's not your turn yet." Marshall hit the ground, his hands and feet were frozen together in big chunks of ice. Marshall growled as he sat on the ground, immobile. He watched helplessly as Fiona kept fighting. She managed to hit Ice Queen a few times, but in the end, the Ice Queen froze down Fiona's hands and ankles with huge blocks of ice that kept her pinned down.
"Hahahahaha, this was so EASY. Gumball should have known I would be able to do this." Ice Queen laughed. "Now all I have to do is kill you, and I'll have the prince all to myself!"
Marshall growled, his eyes blackening, his pupils turning into red slits. "What do you mean 'Gumball should've known?'" Marshall growled through bared teeth, staring as Ice Queen aimed her hand at Fiona's stomach, "You mean to tell me that Gumball set you up to do this?"
"Hehehehe! Yes! To disarm you both and take the Vampire King away forever, but what Gumball won't know won't hurt him!"
Another zap lit up the room, then an agonizing scream came right after. What Marshall saw when the light died away sent him over the edge. A jagged piece of ice impaled Fiona's stomach and stuck out through the other side piercing the floor. The other ice chunks holding down her arms had dissipated, her hands were on her stomach, her eyes wide. She looked over at Marshall, her eyes pleading for some kind of help.
Marshall let out a deafening roar that made the Ice Queen look at him, eyes wide in terror. He felt his body shift and change into a different form, the ice shattering away from his body. Once his hands were free, he reached out, grabbing Ice Queen around the waist with one hand and lifted her into the air, his breath was red as the next words rolled out of his mouth. "We may have had a history together, but that was a long time ago. You have tried to kill the one I love the most. Now it's your turn to feel pain."
Marshall grabbed the Ice Queen's head and twisted it like a bottle cap in his hands. He heard the satisfying snap of her neck and grinned. He then heard the tap of metal on the floor, and looked down, seeing the Queen's crown laying on the floor. He brought his foot down on it and felt it crush on his heel. Growling again, he threw her body out the window and turned back to Fiona. Her eyes were closed, causing him to fear the worst. "Hold on, Fi." He grabbed the ice spike between his fingers and gently pulled it out of her. Fiona cried out from pain again, but her eyes stayed closed. Marshall groaned as his body shifted back to normal, then he ran over to Fiona kneeling down.
"Fiona. Fiona! Please open your eyes." Marshall felt something watery flowing down his face. He didn't care if he cried, Fiona may be dying. He split his wrist open and poured blood into her open wounds. He could see it closing up a bit, but not fast enough. He screamed in frustration then jumped when he heard a commotion downstairs.
"Fiona! Fiona! Girl! Where you at?" Cake bust through the floor behind the both of them, but Marshall didn't look at her. Cake ran over screaming. "Marshall! What happened? We saw the Ice Queen's body outside and….." She stopped talking when she saw Fiona herself. Prince Monochrome was floating above them. "Fiona! Come on girl! Open your eyes!"
A groan escaped Fiona as her eyes fluttered open. "C-Cake….Is that you?" A small smile appeared on her face as she looked up at Cake. "I love you, Cake."
Cake began to cry as she gripped Fiona's hand tightly. "Marshall! Do something! Anything!"
Marshall was staring in shock as he looked up at Cake. Her eyes were desperate, which made him come back to reality. "Cake, there is only one thing I can do."
"Well! What is it?" Cake screamed staring at Fiona.
"I have to turn her into a vampire." Marshall stated, staring at Fiona before turning to Cake. Cake was staring at him in shock, unable to believe what he just said.
"Turn her? No! W-W-We'll take her to Gumball! He can fix her!"
"Cake! He set Ice Queen up to do this in the first place!" He grabbed Cake's arm shaking her slightly. "Don't you understand? This is the only way!"
"No!" Cake screamed. She looked up when Monochrome started speaking. After he finished, Cake looked at Marshall somberly. "F-Fine. Do it."
Marshall nodded and slid his hand under Fiona's head lifting her face up to his. "H-Hold on, Fi. E-Everything is going to be okay. I'll make the pain go away." Fiona smiled up at him as he pushed her hair out of her face. Her blood had soaked her perfect golden blond hair, making it mat up against her back.
"I love you, Marshall. You can go ahead. I'm not scared. I know I'll be okay." She coughed up some more blood, spraying it across Marshall's face before she spoke again. "I've been through so much worse."
"I love you, too, Fi." He leaned down, baring his fangs as he gaped his mouth open. Slowly, his teeth sunk into Fiona's skin and her blood seeped into his mouth. He pulled her closer as he began to drink from her neck. Her blood tasted amazing in his mouth, it was like ecstasy. He groaned burying his face as he drank for a few more seconds then, holding her tightly, he pulled away from her neck and looked down at her. Her eyes were closed and her skin was pale as paper. He bit his lower lip, causing it to bleed, then he leaned in kissing her hard, forcing her lips open. He forced his blood into her mouth and felt her swallow, satisfied after she gulped a couple more times, he pulled back and looked down at Fiona's stomach. It was quickly closing up under her shirt, and he heard her blood stop dripping to the floor after a few moments. A slight color came back to Fiona's cheeks after the healing process was complete.
He looked up at Prince Monochrome and Cake, who were both staring hard as him. "Well?" Cake finally said in a shaky voice.
Marshall smiled weakly at Cake, then nodded. "She is going to be fine. She will be different. But fine." He stood, picking up Fiona in his arms. "I'm going to take her to my place though. When she wakes up, she is probably going to want something to drink and I don't want her to attack you out of instinct."
Cake stared at Marshall then nodded, tearing up. "Let me kiss my baby goodbye first." She stretched over to Fiona and planted a kiss on her forehead. "You're gonna be alright girl. I know you are strong. You are so much stronger than me." She then leaned over and kissed Marshall's cheek. "You take care of her, you hear? She loves you so much. I know it. And don't worry about what happened here. We will take care of everything." Cake's eyes were steeled when she said that, and Marshall knew what she meant.
He nodded then flew out the window with Fiona, out into the pouring rain, out into a world that was falling apart over a girl. And he had to say that for the first time in his life…..he was scared.
