BLOOD LUST

Chapter three

Marshall Lee awoke to the loud movie credits blaring from the TV. "Ugh." He moaned tiredly as he clicked the 'OFF' button on the remote. He looked down at Fionna, still asleep. Her head, that was once resting on his shoulder was now resting in his lap. Her whole body was curled up like cat as she slept. Marshall Lee ran his fingers through his jet-black hair, embarrassed and confused on what to do next. "Do I wake her up? Or do I let her sleep?" Marshall lee bit his bottom lip, frustrated on what to do next. He looked around the living room, hoping to find some sort of answer within his own home, and then something caught his eye. A window that revealed that it was night time outside. "It's night time." he thought, "I bet Cake is sitting at home worried." With that in mind, he looked back down at sleeping Fionna, and plugged her nose.

He watched as Fionna struggled in her sleep for air. After a few seconds she shot up from Marshall's lap wide awake, gasping for air. "M-Marshall-!" She gasped as she noticed the window revealing darkness outside. "Oh my glob! I gotta go!" Fionna fumbled into the kitchen to grab her backpack, and then ran out the front door.

Fionna quickly ran out of the cave, only to feel a pair of hands grab out from under her. And then felt herself being lifted into the cool night sky. Marshall Lee was once again carrying her bridal style.

"I'll fly you home." He said as he stared out towards the tree house. "You'll get home quicker this way."

Fionna pushed her bangs out of her face and looked up at Marshall's cool face.

"Thank you…" She whispered.

Marshall kept looking forward, but an obvious blush appeared on his face.

When the tree house came into view, Marshall Lee set Fionna on top of a small hill near her home. "Well, thanks for paying me a visit." said Marshall Lee.

Fionna smiled, "Thanks for having me." Neither one of them said anything after that; the two just stared into each other's eyes, smiling like dorks.

"Fionna I—" Marshall started to say, but stopped cleared his throat.

"Yeah?" Fionna began to feel butterflies in her stomach.

"I just wanted to let you know that I…"

"You…?"

Marshall Lee began to choke up, "I, uh.. Well I just feel…" He stared into her deep blue eyes. What was he trying to say? Fionna began to blush.

"Marsh, what are you trying to say?" she asked seriously.

"I just wanted to say that-!" Marshall Lee ran his fingers through his hair. "I feel like such a dweeb right now." Marshall Lee sighed.

Fionna punched his arm playfully. "A total dweeb."

The two laughed nervously when all of sudden a blood curling scream came from the tree house.

"CAKE?" Fionna yelled, and began to run towards the tree house with Marshall Lee close behind.

Fionna kicked open the door, sword in hand. "Cake!"

"Fionna! Baby! Get this freak away from me!"

Cake was pinned up against a wall by her neck. Her claws were desperately scratching at the intruder's hands for freedom.

"Let her go!" Fionna yelled as she pointed the sword at the intruder's back. Before Fionna could attack, Marshall Lee suddenly stood in front of her.

"Morgan…?" Marshall Lee asked in disbelief. Fionna lowered her sword to the ground. "M-Marshall… you know this guy?"

The mysterious man dropped cake to the floor, and Cake ran on all fours into Fionna's arms. But the intruder's back remained facing them.

"Turn around you coward!" Fionna yelled at him. Once, again she gripped her sword and was prepared to attack him. Suddenly, the tall man sighed and turned around, revealing his face.

His skin was turquoise, and his hair was snow white with light grey streaks in it. He wore a buttoned down, white long sleeved shirt with a grey vest over it, and long grey pants that were slightly shredded. He also had on a white pair of gloves; she could tell just by looking at them, he had sharp claws underneath. His ears were pointed like Marshall's. His left ear was pierced with a black stud. His smile revealed sharp pointed teeth, and on his neck… bite marks.

There was no doubt in Fionna's mind that this guy was a vampire. "Morgan…" Marshall Lee said as he took a couple of steps towards him. "How did you… I mean… I thought I—"

Morgan interrupted him with his laughter, "Yes, you thought you killed me! Yes you thought, you thought you killed me" he repeated and walked towards Marshall Lee looking amused. "And yet here I am."

All of a sudden, his amused smile disappeared from his face, and he looked very serious. Fionna looked up at Marshall Lee expecting him to say something. But Marshall was speechless.

The question that kept repeating in Fionna's head was killing her. "Who the glob is this guy!?"

"Marshall—" Fionna began, but before she could finish, Morgan brought his leg up from underneath him and kicked Marshall right in on his, causing Marshall to stumble back and fall.

"Marshall!" Fionna yelled and began to run towards the fallen vampire. Morgan briskly stepped in front of her and grabbed her face, forcefully bringing it close to his. Morgan inhaled deeply and stared into her eyes.

"It is an honor to finally meet the human Marshall is so very fond of." Morgan's creepy smile appeared back on his face. Fionna struggled, trying to release herself from Morgan's strong grip. Morgan squeezed Fionna's face harder, causing her to squeak.

"Lets try to get along."

And just like that, Morgan disappeared, followed by a cold strong breeze causing all the candles to go out.

YAYYY! Its done! Its done! What did you guys think? Better than chapter 2? What's gonna happen next? What will Morgan doooo? Stay tuned!
