Marshall`s POV
Holy crap! I screamed inside my head as I turned around to see her collapse to the ground, unconscious. I could hear her faint breathing and rapid heartbeat. I watched her sister pick her up, hair on end. I tried to console Cake. "Fionna`s gonna be fine. We need to look at her injuries. I have supplies in my bus." I looked down nervously, hoping she was okay. She had Fionna in her paws, and she was bristling. I`m praying it`s not me wants to kill. I just met her and I`m already terrified of her. Maybe she`ll be nicer when Fionna is awake. She sighs and looks me straight in the eye. "Thank you for protecting Fionna when I couldn`t get here fast enough…" I saw her eyes soften with tears and I knew instantly she was blaming herself. "It`s not your fault. Fionna must`ve been off-guard while she was looking for you. We need to go to my bus now, if we`re going to heal her wounds properly." I saw the blood slowly seeping from her back, and my eyes widened in alarm. "We need to go now!" She wrapped Fionna up with herself and together, we ran back to everyone. They were shocked and worried. "What the hell happened?!" Mike looked at me, bewildered. "Later. Go get me my supplies. She`s bleeding. Heavily." I turned my gaze back to Fionna. I put my hand over her heart and I saw her lips twitch into a content smile before it quickly faded as her attempts to breathe were failing. I saw her chest rise and fall rapidly as she doubled her efforts to bring air into her lungs. Alarms were going off in my head that she wasn't going to make it. Mike ran in with the first aid kit and other necessities she would need. I take a deep breath, and slide off her shirt, hoping the wound isn`t as bad as I thought. Her shirt is off and I turn her over onto her stomach. I hear her groan lightly in pain. I gasp involuntarily. There`s a big red spot in the center of her back, but where there was supposed to be skin, there wasn`t; She had a large chunk of her skin ripped off and she was starting to bleed more heavily. I carefully tried to bandage her, listening to her breath and heart rate. When I try to turn her over, she shudders, and her breathing stops and her heart rate just went through the roof. I look at everyone. "She`s stopped breathing. There`s only one way to save her, and I need to be alone with her for a few weeks." My crew backs off, out of my room. Before Jaime goes, he whispers, "Good luck." I look at Cake, she looking at me desperately. "Save my little sister, or I will kill you." She walks off, bristling and muttering to herself. Something along the lines of ripping my spine out if I don't save Fi. Jeez, I'm scared to see her after this month… I sigh. I really don`t want to this… but it`s the only way to save her… the human I love… I open my mouth and lean down towards her neck, my fangs touched the side of her neck. I hesitated; worried about what would happen when she wakes up. I slowly sunk my fangs into her neck, and she jumped a foot in the air and started to convulse. Oh no… her blood is trying to fight my venom! I held Fionna still, and sunk my teeth in further and stayed like that until she stopped moving. I released my teeth from her neck and sat on my chair, waiting for the change. In my head I was thinking about the worst that could happen when she woke up. It was the most likely thing to happen, and if it does, even I won't be able to tame her. *sighs* It`s gonna take awhile before the venom has completely circulated in her veins. What happens if she does become one? I don`t think I can handle her. Maybe it wasn`t such a good idea for me to bite her. I should`ve had Jaime or Mike to do it. I get frustrated. Aaahhh! Why didn`t they stop me? They know what happens when fearless and evil combine… maybe I shouldn`t have toured over here. I knew she lived somewhere around here, and I wanted to meet her and talk. I smile sadly when I remember the first time I met her. She can`t even remember me, I was masked and eating little people, when she showed up. She was so beautiful and I was stunned momentarily by her. I disappeared before she could even touch me, and while she was sleeping, I erased her memory. I used to watch her sleep at night and sing soft tunes into her ears just so I could see her smile. I quickly shake the memory away, knowing I only had two days to gather what I needed to keep her at bay. It was dark out, so I didn't need my umbrella. I floated out into the woods, my ears straining for the sound of an animal to satisfy her needs.
I was going to have to revert to my blood-drinking side to save Fionna.
