-Blood Lust—Chapter 2—

Fionna awoke to the sun gleaming in through her window. She watched the sunrise from inside her sleeping bag, before getting up and changing into her usual attire, a teal blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a dark blue skirt, and her knee-high white socks.

She quickly brushed her bangs that were exposed from her hat and went down stairs. She walked into the kitchen and found a note from Cake attached to the fridge.

"Mornin' sweet pea! I'm out with Lord Monochro on a picnic in Marsh-Mellowy meadows! I'll be back before sunset, so don't you go anywhere that will get you into trouble!" xx ~Cake"

Fionna rolled her eyes. She ripped off the note from the fridge, crumbled it, and lazily tossed it to the floor. She swung open the freezer, took out a frozen waffle, and popped in her mouth. She knew it was frozen, but she didn't care, she didn't have time to. The hero wanted to get to Marshall's before it was too late in the day. After she quickly put on her shoes, she swung her backpack over her shoulder, and bolted out the door. Waffle in mouth, she ran towards the vampire's pad; climbing over rocks and occasionally jumping from tree to tree. Getting a work out at the beginning of the day was important for the human girl.

Fionna then came across a strawberry field, short on breath, she decided to take a break in the middle of the field. The tired hero lazily sat down and began to eat the cold waffle. When she was finished she lied down on her back, sprawled out on the strawberry field. The hero stared mindlessly at the clouds passing by in the bright blue sky. Fionna inhaled deeply, and then closed her eyes as she felt the chilling wind. She then felt the sun being blocked by something,

"Hey."

Fionna's eyes shot open to see Marshall Lee hovering above her. He was wearing a sun hat, and gloves to protect him from the sun.

"What are you doing out here?" Fionna asked as she got up and wiped dirt off the back of her skirt. Marshall held up a basket full of strawberries. "I believe strawberries are best picked during the day." Marshall picked up a strawberry from his basket, drank the color out of it, and then popped it into Fionna's mouth.

"Hey!" Fionna spit out the strawberry and Marshall laughed. "God his laugh is sexy." She thought. Marshall flicked her forehead.

"Hey how come you haven't visited my pad lately?" Marshall questioned. "I was beginning to feel lonely." Fionna scoffed. "Dude, you came to my house last night, you could've said hi!" Marshall floated on his back, circling around her.

"No I didn't. Are you delusional?"

"I didn't see you, but I know you scared the glob out of Cake."

"I stayed at home all night." Marshall looked at her questionably. "What happened?"

After Fionna explained what happened last night. Marshall Lee put his feet back on the ground. "Sounds creepy. Maybe it was Ice Queen?"

"No, I don't think so." Fionna put her hand up to her mouth and thought, "Ice Queen wouldn't do that."

Marshall sighed, "Well it was probably just some harmless prank. Hey, let's head back to my place, I'm tired of carrying this basket around." Fionna couldn't help but think of what could happen being alone with the vampire, and blushed. Marshall shoved the basket of strawberries into her hands. Before she could protest, she felt his hands go around her waist, picking her up off the ground, flying towards the cave. "Stop fidgeting." Marshall exclaimed, "Or I'll drop you."

"Shut up. You know I hate it when you carry me like this." Fionna heard Marshall sigh. And before she knew it, he was carrying her bridal style. "Better?" Marshall Lee asked as he looked down at her. Fionna didn't respond, only stared back up at him blushing. Marshall noticed she was blushing and looked away awkwardly, a dark red blush appeared on his face.

After a couple of minutes, they entered the dark cave and into his home. As soon as they entered him home, Marshall Lee, unexpectingly dropped Fionna onto the floor, causing her to land on her butt. "Hey! You donkus!" Fionna yelled from the floor. Marshall Lee only laughed and floated over her into the kitchen. Fionna grabbed a strawberry and pelted it at Marshall. The strawberry splattered on the back of his head. Marshall snapped his head around and hissed, "Hey! Don't throw those, Fionna! I spent almost two hours picking them!" Marshall began to storm over to Fionna, but Fionna held another strawberry in her hand, threatening to throw another one if he came any closer. Marshall Lee stopped dead in his tracks. Tension grew between the two of them, and Marshall didn't like the cocky smile she had on her face.

"Fionna…" He began to say, but was interrupted when a strawberry splattered right on his face. Fionna roared of laughter, "You—look—so—stupid! Ahahahaha!" Marshall wiped the splattered strawberries from his eyes. Then ripped the basket of strawberries from the human's hands. "Grr!" Marshall growled and started flinging strawberries at Fionna. "H-hey!" Fionna yelled as she was being pelted with a bunch of strawberries. "Calm down, Marshy! I just threw one! Chill out!" Fionna ran passed him and into the kitchen, opened his fridge, and whipped out a bottle of ketchup. "PUT DOWN THE WEAPON!" Fionna yelled, aiming the bottle of ketchup at him. Almost immediately, Marshall Lee dropped the almost empty basket of strawberries onto the floor and put his hands up. Fionna wondered why he gave up so easily as she lowered her weapon. As soon as the weapon was lowered, Marshall lunged at her and the two fell onto the floor, wrestling for dominance.

In the end, Fionna ended up on top. Her knees planted on each side of his waist, and her hands held down his arms above his head. The two were tired from wrestling and both trying to catch their breath.

"Damn, Fionna." Marshall panted, "You're just too good for me."

Fionna blushed but then began to laugh. Marshall looked up at her. Her bangs shined like gold, and her smile made his cold heart skip a beat.

Fionna looked down at Marshall and the two looked into each other's eyes. Both blushing,

"Fi…" Marshall whispered.

Fionna felt her heart beat faster, "Y-yeah, Marsh?"

Marshall broke eye contact with Fionna, looking past her head, "Could you… Get. Off me?"

"Huh? Oh!" Fionna's face flushed with embarrassment once she got up she faced her back towards Marshall. "Oh gosh, this is so awkward. Say something, anything!" Fionna scanned the inside of his house desperately. "Oh!" She exclaimed. Marshall Lee watched her as she quickly walked over to a stack of DVD's he had displayed next to the TV. Fionna nervously looked through the pile and pulled out a movie. "L-lets watch this!" She said, trying to sound excited. Marshall took the movie from her hand and looked at it.

"Dawn of The Dead, huh? I remember when this movie first came out!" He exclaimed as he popped the disc into the DVR. Fionna flopped onto the couch. When Marshall Lee got the movie going, he sat next to Fionna, slinging one arm on the back of the couch, and propped his feet up on the coffee table.

During the movie, Fionna's eyes began to feel heavy. "I can't fall asleep here…"

"Hey Marsh—" She said turning to Marshall, who was already asleep. Fionna scanned his face. His bangs covered one of his eyes, and his lips were parted, showing off his pointed fangs. "He looks so innocent when he's asleep…" Fionna's eyes grew heavier and she yawned, she moved in closer to Marshall and laid her head down on his shoulder. Then, almost immediately, she fell asleep.
