Marshall paces outside the double doors anxiously. Finallyafter hours, a short nurse comes out cheerful. "Are you with Fionna?"She asks eyelashes fluttering.
"Yes! How is she doing? Please tell me she's okay." He begs, the pain of waiting showing in his eyes.
"Marshall, is it?" She asks. He nods. "Fionna is going to be fine, don't worry yourself. She's still a little fragile, but the wound is healing nicely. You can visit if you want." Releif flushes his face. he nods eagarly as she opens the doors and leads him to her room.
The Vampire opens the door, rushing in to find his Queen more pale than him, wires and tubes going in and out of her. He grabs her hand, holding it close to his heart. "Fionna, please speak to me, my darling." He kisses her cheek as a groan releases from her lips.
"M-marshall?" she sighs. His eyes light up at her voice.
"Fi, you're gonna be okay, I promise." He kisses her hand, eyes dripping tears. She manages a faint grin. "You must be tired, rest." She nods as he strokes her hair, running his soft caring fingers against her. "I love you, Fionna." Is all he can say before she drifts off to a deep sleep, heart monitor steady.
