Keeper: hey guys sorry for the wait but i made this chapter super long and super funny ;D so enjoy!
"Is this really necessary?" Gumball was laying on the ground. Caralie was almost in a pushup position on top of him. They had been like this for a full twenty minutes. "This is demeaning."
Caralie shot him a glare, "I don't even want to hear you complain. I'm the one who's not in a bra." She gritted her teeth.
"Really?" Marshall floated beside the two. "I can't really tell in that hospital gown. What about you Gumball, is the view different from your angle?"
Gumball's eyes trailed down, but Caralie's cough made him look back up, blushing. "I-I can't tell" he mumbled the lie. The view was much better from this angle.
Marshall busted out laughing, "I need to see how long you can last without blood." The vampire king looked at his watch. "It's been about an hour since you ate. You are doing extremely well for a new blood. Most would have killed this pansy by now"
"But I can smell him across the room… Why do I need to be on top of him?"
"So I can laugh at the two of you." He said simply.
Caralie growled as she pushed off of Gumball. "Perverted pig." she mumbled falling backwards, and landing on her butt. Gumball sat up and watched as Caralie started rubbing the sleepiness out of her eyes.
"Awww what's wrong, new blood?" Marshall put on a smug smile and got in her face. "Getting hungry?"
"You are such a creep" Caralie pushed him away. "I'm just a little tired…" The white haired vampire started rubbing her temples. She looked up at her new king. "And your stupid smirk is giving me a headache." She shot him a glare.
Marshall made a face of disgust, "My glob you have bad blood breath." He started waving his hand.
"Not to mention how ripe you are smelling" Gumball pointed out. Caralie shot him the same glare. He tried smiling playfully. "If it is okay with your instructor" the pink prince gestured towards Marshall, "Maybe we can get you into a shower and some clean cloths."
Caralie kept rubbing her temples, "That does sound wonderful right now."
Marshall coughed, "I'm sure you'd love to help her in the shower, Gummy Bear"
Caralie ignored the comment as Gumball told him to shut up. "Are you sure Marshall shouldn't come too? I'd hate to attack you while we were alone."
If only... He thought "I'm sure he has better things to do."
"As a matter of fact I do, but I will leave as soon as she drinks two more bags of blood" Marshall started float towards the door. "I'll go gets some."
"But what if I-"
"You'll be fine. I'll be less than five minutes." And with that the vampire king left.
Caralie just sighed as she sat back down. Gumball watched as a yawn escaped her lips. He simple smiled and sat beside her.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
The white haired vampire sighed again and cuddled to her legs. "Just one more thing to add to my list of troubles..."
Gumball frowned. "I'm sorry Caralie. It's all my fault."
She gave him a weak smile, "Now don't you start on the whole wo is me crap. It's your fault just as it is mine"
"But it's not your fault" The pink prince gave her a confused look.
"Exactly" she smiled. "If it's your fault just as it is mine, and it's not my fault. Thhhaaann" Caralie smiled looking up at him.
"It's not my fault either" Gumball couldn't wrap his head around why she wasn't blaming him for this. Or why she wasn't upset. Or even why she was smiling at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked bringing her knees to her face. The way her head was angled made her purple eyes sparkle and that little half innocent smile just pulled the whole look together.
Now she's just trying to look adorable he thought. "Well ummm you look very nice."
"I'm covered in dried blood?" She laughed.
"I ummm" You are an idiot... A complete idiot, Gumball
The door to the dome swung open as if to save him from saying anything else.
"I took the liberty of heating this up for you" Marshall tossed the two bags. They landed at her feet. Caralie just stared at them.
"Do I have to drink them?" She asked looking up at Marshall. Disgust had written itself all over her face.
"If you want a shower you will. And for safety reasons it might be for the best if you sleep in here"
A loud whine came from the new blood's mouth. "But wwwhhhyyy?"
"Cause as much as I want to Gumball to die in a hole some where" he chuckled slightly. "I can't let you kill him."
"I think that is the best compliment you have ever given me" Gumball mumbled.
"What can I say I promised Fi I wouldn't let anything kill you." He shrugged and picked up the bag of blood. He shoved it in Caralie's face. "Now drink"
The white haired vampire sighed and snatched the bag from Marshall. She mumbled under her breath.
"What was that, luv? I didn't quite catch that." The vampire king laughed.
She sighed angrily. "How do I drink it? My fangs aren't extended..."
"You just have to think about it." Marshal smiled. "Think about drinking every last drop." His voice got quiet. "That sweet metallic warmth sliding down your throat."
Caralie was just staring at the bag. "Nope nothing. I guess I'm just not hungry."
Marshall frowned, "you either drink it now or I force it down your throat. I have better things to do than babysit you"
"Well aren't you sunshine and rainbows today" Caralie tore a slit in the top if the bag. The smell was enough to make her sick, but if she wanted the vampire king off her back for the night she had to drink it. She pinches her nose and began to drink.
"Good girl" Marshal smiled and patted her on the head.
"I'm not a dog" she mumbled between sips.
"Awwww" Marshal started using a baby voice "Isn't the little new blood adorable?" He asked Gumball.
The pink prince smiled. "For once I might agree with you Marshall"
Caralie almost we choked on the blood when she heard Gumball. "Okay okay I drank one bag. Now can I please take a shower?"
Marshall sighed, "well that's good enough for me. I'll see you two love birds later" he disappeared. "And try not to get into too much trouble while I'm gone." The door to the dome opened and there was silence once again.
"So ummm" Caralie started, "That shower?"
"Oh yes! Right this way" Gumball grabbed her hand and started walking. Caralie blushed as Gumball proceeded to lead her up a flight of stairs and down a few different hallways. "I'd feel better if you used the bathroom that is in my room." He pushed open a wooden door. Pink bricks covered the walls and a darker pink trimmed the walls. A bed was raised a few steps off the floor.
"Oh! I forgot to ask." The white haired girl mumbled looking at the bed, "What are my sleeping arrangements?"
Gumball stopped for a moment, "Mmm believe it or not I have not thought that far ahead, but we can place a bed in the dome. The bathroom is just through those doors." He pointed, "I'm going to run and get some of your clothes." He placed his hand on the small of her and pushed her forward. "So I will be right back if you need me." Caralie almost thought this would have ended with him kissing her on the cheek, and a cute little pet name, but it didn't.
Gumball pushed her forward, and she walked into the bathroom. Caralie didn't really close the door all the way. The white haired girl undid the string on the hospital gown. It hit the ground. Caralie started the shower, and climbed in.
The hot water was beating against her back. It felt wonderful. Caralie closed her eyes taking in the blissfulness.
Ok She thought lets take a few steps back and make a list of everything I've done. Caralie sighed, First I broke up with Brendon after I found out he was only interested in the throne. Than I decided to take a few weeks of vacation out of the Death Worlds. Gumball invited me to the Candy Kingdom so we could work on a candy zombie experiments. Or was it a candy vampire project... "Oh it doesn't matter now." She mumbled, letting the water hit her face. Than it happened. That ice witch or something attacked me. She threw the formula at me... her train of thought crashed than I turned and I... I killed someone. If Caralie was talking out loud she would have choked on her words. She hadn't remembered killing anyone. She didn't even remember hurting anyone. A song popped into her head.
Gumball started going through the dresser in the white haired girl's room. The banana guards are arguing about how they were going to move the bed, but didn't seem to bother Gumball. He had picked up a black pair of shorts and a white tank top for Caralie to sleep in. All I need to do now is grab her undergarments, he thought. He opened up the top drawer. Don't girls like it when these things matched? He asked himself picking up white silk underwear. He picked up a black bra than looked at the white tank top. You could probably see this through the white shirt. The image popped into his head and a smile slipped across his face, but the smile faded when the thought of anyone else seeing her burst his bubble. He put the black bra back and grabbed a laced white started out the door.
I wonder... Gumball started to fumble with the little silk tag. "36C" he mumbled bemusedly. Gumball pushed open the door to his room, and he could instantly feel the moisture in the air. Steam pouring out of the bathroom. He walked over to the door, but something made him stop.
"It's hiding in the dark. It's teeth are razor sharp." Singing? "There's no escape for me. It wants my soul it was my heart!"
I knew this song! It was from one of the bands Marshall likes to blare. What is it called? Demon? No. Creature? No. Monster!
"No one can hear me scream! Maybe it's just a dream! Maybe it's inside of me! Stop this monster!"
"I fell deeper man." Gumball sputtered out the next verse "it's just beneath the skin. I must confess I feel like a monster" Caralie stopped singing.
"I-I am sorry if I scared you." Gumball leaned against the wall beside bathroom door. He could just barely see inside.
"No you're fine." She paused, and the water shut off "I think I used all your hot water though. "
A smile crept across his face. "It's fine Caralie. I have your cloths."
"Let me guess you want to come in here and give them to me?" He could practically hear the smirk on her face.
"Maybe" he chuckled. "But unfortunately I am a gentlemen so I will just have to settle for handing them to you." he stuck the cloths through the door, and she took them. A few minutes later Caralie's clean smiling face was in front of him. "You look refreshed." Gumball mumbled looking her up and down.
"I think you've been around Marshall too much today." She smiled, and started walking towards the door.
Gumball followed close behind, "Why do you say that?"
"Because," Caralie messed with her wet white hair. "You've been awfully flirty today."
"Maybe you just haven't noticed." My Glob I am turning into Marshal. Caralie giggled, Maybe that's not a completely bad thing.
Caralie stopped at the dome's door. She sighed, "I see you put my bed in there…" there was a certain sadness to her voice.
Gumball frowned, "I am sorry but it is only for the time being." he opened the door. "Just until you can control your candy cravings" He smiled at her, but she still looked unsettled. "Mmmm would you feel better if I brought down a cot down here and slept outside the dome?" Her sparkling purple eyes looked up at him, and she nodded. "Okay you go on in. I will be back in a few minutes. The pink prince watched as the white haired vampire walked in. Her hips swayed slightly as she did.
By the time Gumball got back down stairs with his sleeping bag, Caralie was all snug underneath the her blankets. Gumball placed his sleeping bag right beside the dome. The closest spot to where Caralie laid. As the candy prince laid down, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of Caralie being the last thing he saw before sleeping, and he wished she would be the first thing he saw when he woke up too.
