Author's Note

Just letting everyone know that all the chapters from now on will be longer! Just to make sure I don't make the story like, too long, with a hundred chapters or something. That's just horrible to make it that long. Oh yeah, and I compiled all the current chapters to make it shorter. So, skim it first, sorry if all these updates are confusing.

Thanks.

Fionna's POV

Running like the wind had just gone to a whole new level. Fionna was basically flying, she could watch how the leaves in the wind were slower than she was. She was running as fast as she could to the Ice Kingdom, and she was already near the bottom of the mountain. Using her momentum, she jumped on a high rock, flipped through the air, and dove into the triangular window that was apparently the entrance.

"Ice Queen?" she yelled. Fionna walked around and checked the cage, the usual place where the Ice Queen left prisoners. Empty.

Did she hide him somewhere else? she thought.

Fionna walked down the hall, looking for Marshall. She couldn't find him anywhere. Finally, Fionna came to the last door in the hall. She pushed it open, and walked inside.

It was bright. It had a small window covered in a layer of thin ice, with only a single patch of shade in the room. She saw little lines on the wall, claw marks. Five of them. There was no doubt, Marshall was here at some point.

The only problem was that he wasn't here anymore.

Fionna was crying again. She cared about him. A lot. And she didn't want to do what the Ice Queen said.

Through her tears, she noticed a little glow in the corner, immediately recognizing it as a portal.

Nothing to lose, she thought, and the human girl leaped through the portal.

Finn's POV

After reading the note, Finn had gone into a depression.

He kept reading the note, as if it would change and everything would be okay.

But it wasn't. It really wasn't. He tried reading it again and again.

Dear Finn,

If you are reading this, this means you have gone to Marceline's cave and discovered her missing. I am now holding her hostage. If you want her back, you must either bring me Flame Princess or Princess Bubblegum. Or Marceline will be here with me forever. No, you can't go looking for her in my kingdom, because I have hidden the dungeon cell she is in and you'll never find her.

Peace.

Ice King.

Jake had tried everything to cheer him up. He even tried getting him to go to LSP's birthday party. No one rejects an invitation to LSP's parties. The last person who did that was called a chump for a whole year. Now Jake was called the chump, and Finn was left innocent because he was depressed.

Finn was crying all day long. He forced BMO to play sad classical music 24/7. He didn't eat, and showered once in a while.

I can't give up Flame Princess, I uh, like her a lot. But if I give him PB, what will happen to the Candy Kingdom? All the other princesses have their own place. Marceline won't settle down like that! I'm not fit to be a ruler either! Jake certainly can't, he won't focus on anything! There's no one left to go to. I can't leave Marcy like that on her own either. Oh Glob, I wish I could just go find Prismo's time room again and wish everything back to normal, Finn had been thinking like that for ages.

Finally, he had decided to do what he had to do. Finn left the treehouse, with no doubts about his choice.

Marceline's POV

When Marshall told her he was a vampire, Marceline was shocked. About how he was a vampire. But also because she had no idea what she felt about him, only that it was stronger. In the few short hours after she woke up, she came to a conclusion about him. He was a self-centered ladies man. But he was a very hot self-centered ladies man, and in addition to that he was absolutely hilarious and he was extremely passionate about things. Like music. And sucking people's blood.

In a way, he was just like her.

But Marceline didn't completely trust him yet. Sometimes, he would say random things about some girl called Fionna. And the land of Aaa. She corrected him, trying to say it was Ooo. But he always got a faraway look in his eye, and he would always say it was Aaa.

If Finn were to say it, she liked Marshall. A lot.
