Marshall woke up and smirked as has he looked down at Fiona's sleeping form laying on top of his. But that wasn't what woke him up. He listened for the mysterious sound he had heard a second ago. A loud banging was coming from his front door. He slid out from under Fiona gently and floated up, watching her for a moment to make sure he hadn't disturbed her. He smirked again as he watched her. She looked so beautiful to him, sleeping under his sheets. He wanted to watch her forever but the infernal banging was starting to get louder.
Groaning, the vampire king pulled on his jeans then floated downstairs to see what was causing the banging sound. Groaning, went over to the door and flung it open, looking out. Who he didn't expect to see was Cake. And what he really didn't expect to see was an unconscious Igneous and Gumball laying on his porch.
"Cake? What is going on? Why are they here?" Marshall exclaimed, walking out on the front porch to them. "Did you do this?"
Cake shook her head, her hair was standing on end. "No! I found them like this! I brought them here to see if you did this!"
"What? No I didn't do this! Fiona would kill me if I did!" Marshall's voice was raising with mood. Who could have done this to them if not Cake. Marshall grabbed each of the boys' wrists, feeling for their heart beat. "They're still alive. Looks like they have a sleeping spell put on both of them…..and….." Marshall furrowed his brows in confusion.
"And?" Cake exclaimed, staring at him.
"They have been out for at least 4 days now." Marshall said, looking up at her with steeled eyes.
"What? But that's impossible! You and Fiona both said they were at tree house 3 days ago!"
"I know. And it's the truth, but apparently that wasn't the real Gum wad or Charcoal."
"So are you saying that the other two were….fakes!?" Cake screamed, her tail sticking up in the air.
Marshall nodded, running his fingers through his hair as he stood up. "Cake. Bring them inside the house. I need to wake them up."
Cake nodded and wrapped her elastic body around the two princes then drug them into the house. Marshall followed behind her, quickly shutting and locking his front door. He watched as Cake laid them down. "What now?" Cake watched as Marshall floated over to the cabinet and pulled various items from it.
"We need to wake them up and see if they rememb-" Marshall was cut off by a scream. He jerked his head up and saw Fiona floating down the ladder, a terrified look on her face. Frowning, he floated over to her. "Fi…Calm down."
"Calm down? CALM DOWN? Igneous and Gumball are laying on your floor and you want me to calm down? What the fuck is going on, Marshall!?" She stared at him, a look of horror on her face.
"Cake brought them here, Fi. She found them knocked out in their homes."
"Knocked out?" Marshall nodded as her expression shifted from horror to confusion.
"Yeah. From what I could find out, they have been knocked out for 4 days now."
"F-F-Four days? But they attacked you three days ago!"
"That wasn't the real Gumwad or Charcoal that day. They were imposters." Marshall looked over at the two princes in silence.
"W-Who could have done this?" Fiona mumbled, floating over to them.
"I don't know, that's why I'm about to wake them up. We are going to figure out who did this." Marshall picked his ingredients back up and floated over to the kitchen, grabbing a bowl. Fiona floated over to Cake.
"Hey."
"Hey girl. How are you?"
"I-I'm okay. Kind of scared." Marshall watched them both from the corner of his eye. He still didn't know if Fiona could control her hunger that well.
"It will be okay, baby. We are all going to figure this out together." Cake stretched over and hugged Fiona tightly. Fiona froze for a moment then smiled hugging her best friend back.
"You're not scared of me, Cake?" Fiona mumbled as she watched her best friend.
"No, I'm not. You may be a vampire, but you are still my best friend. Just because you grew fangs doesn't change the fact that I love you, girl." Cake smiled at Fiona.
Fiona smiled back, hugging her friend one more time before she float back over to the princes. Marshall floated over and planted his feet on the ground. "Alright. It's time to wake them up. You ready kitty? I think you may have to hold them down at first."
Cake nodded as she started stretching her body over towards them but froze when Fiona spoke up. "Wait!" Marshall and Cake looked over as Fiona floated over to the kitchen and grabbed the aluminum foil.
"Good thinking, Fi." Fiona smiled slightly as she wrapped Igneous up in the foil then she floated over to the couch and sat down.
"Okay. Go ahead, Cake." The cat nodded at her friend then laid her body down on the two princes.
"Alright. Here we go." Marshall threw the dry ingredients in the faces of Igneous and Gumball and began chanting in a foreign language. After he finished he watched as the princes blinked and shifted on the ground. Then they both sat up in unison. "Damn you, Witch!" They both cried out.
Marshall floated into their vision. "Igneous. Gumball. Are you two okay?"
Gumball blinked, looking around. "Where am I?"
Marshall sighed, "You are at my house. Now answer my question. Are you okay?"
"Yes vampire. I am fine." Gumball glared up at Marshall. Clearly, he hadn't realized yet that the King of Vampires probably just saved him.
Igneous spoke up. "I am alright, too, Marshall. Can you please tell us what is going on?"
"Cake can explain better than I can right now." Marshall nodded towards the gifted feline as she stretched over to stand beside him.
"Alright! Listen up, sweet babies! I went over to see you guys last night and I found you both knocked out in your homes." Marshall smiled at her before looking down at the two.
"Now. Can you two tell me what happened?" Marshall stared at them both quietly as the stumbled over each over trying to explain.
Gumball: "I was sitting in my bedroom when-"
Igneous: "some purple smoke clouded up my room. Then a witch stepped-"
Gumball: "in and threw a glittering powder in my-"
Igneous: "face. Then I woke up here."
Marshall nodded as he stared at the both of them. "I see. Do you remember who did it?" They both nodded as they looked at each other. Marshall ran his fingers through his hair. "Well? Who was it?"
Igneous and Gumball looked up at Marshall and he had a feeling he knew who they were going to say from the look on their faces.
"It was Ashley."
