Hey, sorry it took me so long to upload, just got sidetracked or whatever. So i only got one review... oh well. I'm still hoping for some more reviews but I write for the fun of it, not the fame. So here's chapter two.
Disclaimer: Nope
She plopped down next to me, however, not even acknowledging my presence.
"Thanks again Bonnie, for letting me stay here while my house gets rebuilt." She glared at Finn and Jake, who sunk down in their seats.
"Of course." She coughed and looked down at her plate.
I reached for a fork with a shaky hand, and all of a sudden, the vampire looked at me.
"Who's the shirtless guy?" she said with a flat expression.
"Um, my name is Sam Stone." I said as confidently as I could, which didn't work out very well.
"Yeah whatever. Why is he here? And what is he?" I gave up trying to talk to her, and just leaned back in my chair, arms folded across my chest.
"He was injured and he's a human just like me!" Finn jumped up and down in his seat.
"So he's staying here? How long?" she asked.
"Well Sam, are you?" Bubblegum turned to me.
"If you don't mind, my house isn't exactly, homey." I looked over to Marceline, for some reason curious to her reaction. She just sighed and looked at my shoulder.
"Great, however our guest rooms are full. You'll have to stay with Marceline in her room until her house is rebuilt. Don't worry, it has bunk beds." She smiled at me and I turned to see Marceline abruptly floating out the room.
"I am not staying with him." She hissed and fled up the staircase.
"Sam I apologize….." I didn't wait to hear what Bubblegum had to say, I was already running up the stairs after her. I quickly grabbed my guitar case of the floor as I ran.
"Wait!" I shouted after her, only to have the door slam in my face and hit me in the nose.
"Ow!" I grabbed my nose and sat down on the floor. I slowly stood up after a few minutes and quietly knocked on the door.
"Um, Marceline, right?" I asked. No reply. I sighed and took out my guitar. I quickly strummed a couple of notes. I heard her touch the door knob, then hesitate and pull back. I smiled as an idea popped into my head.
I began to play a song I had written.
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What followsAll insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erasedI'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking groundI'll lay me down, I'll lay me down(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erasedWhat follows will swallow whole
What follows will swallow whole
The door slowly opened and a hand grabbed my wrist. She yanked me inside and slammed the door shut.
Her hand slammed into my chest and I felt her push me up against the back of the door. My breathing quickened and I looked down at the vampire that was looking past me, and into my soul.
She put her face right up in mine and I was tempted to close the gap.
"Who are you?" she breathed in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. This was the first time she had ever spoken directly to me. I savored her rich voice.
"Someone with a secret." I whispered, shocked at what I had told her.
"I know. I saw it." She glared back at me. My breath caught in my throat. She knew. She probably thinks I'm a freak.
"How do you know my secret?" I worried.
"I don't know what your secret is. I just knew by looking at you that you have one. But you are going to tell me." She hissed, her fang brushing my earlobe.
"I…..I can't." I stammered, however badly I wanted someone to find out.
"And why not?" she looked into my eyes, less angry than I had expected.
"You'll think I'm a freak, I'm already different enough being thought of as a human." I sadly said back.
"I'm a vampire, I think I can handle freaks." She sighed and stepped away from me. I instantly missed her cold warmth against me.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but I want you to know that I'm someone you can trust. Unless, you're a danger to my friends, then we'll have a problem." She said protectively.
"I would never hurt your friends, and….. I know I can trust you." I stared into her green eyes and she nodded.
"Good." She floated over to the bottom bunk and picked up her ax bass.
She started to strum a couple of chords and hummed a tune. Marceline abruptly smiled and stopped playing. I was still standing by the door holding my guitar in my hand. I stared down at the black and white Fender.
"What?" I asked.
"You're pretty good." She motioned to my guitar. "Did you write that song?" she tilted her head to the side.
"Yeah, I write them some times. Poetry and stuff." I shrugged.
"Can I see?" she blushed and looked down at the ground. "I mean, if it's too personal…" she began, but I was already going to get my backpack.
I picked up my backpack off of the ground and threw it over my shoulder. I scurried up the stairs, and turned the corner to our room.
Marceline was floating upside down on the ceiling, playing a song that sounded eerily familiar.
I'm just your problem
Well, I-I-I-I-I-I-I shouldn't have to justify what I do
I-I-I-I-I-I-I shouldn't have to prove anything to you
"I know that song. I heard a girl singing it while I was hiking in the canyons, was that you?" I was shocked that we could have met before.
"Yeah, it's about me and Bonnie, we used to be best friends. She treats me like dirt now just because I'm deep and dark. Something like that." She looked sad for a split second, and then it disappeared into a glare.
"Someone once told me I was deep, and I get treated like dirt every day." I blushed, not used to telling people my secrets. She looked down at me with understanding.
"Can you play me a song?" I nodded and began to sit down on the bed, and then I decided to do something else.
I floated up beside her, able to take the power of a vampire. I flipped upside down like her and gripped my guitar.
So that's that. Oh, and the song i used was by AFI. I give full credibility to them.
