A/N: Yeah I changed the name.. I love this song so I decided to name the story after it :)
"It's okay, your safe now princess." Finn said turning her over so they could get a better look at her. The three gasped in horror and called out.
"Marceline!?"
"Dude! That's not a princess, that's Marceline!" Jake yelled
"Marcie!?" Finn shook her lightly to try and wake her up but it failed. "What happened?" He whispered "What did you do!" He then brought his attention the Ice king.
"Nothing! I told you guys, I found her like that! My plan was to bring her back here and when she woke up she would be so grateful that see would marry me."
Finn growled in anger. The hero could be quite intimidating when someone hurts a good friend of his. "You better be telling the truth!" He then brought his full attention back to Marceline.
"I don't get it" PB spoke up and Finn and Jake looked up at her.
"What?" They asked.
"Vampires are strong and can't easily be knocked out. So whoever is responsible for this must be one powerful being."
"Well what is strong enough to knock a vampire out cold?" Finn asked extremely confused by this whole situation.
"Could this have anything to do with it?" Jake pointed to a wooden stake that was jabbed in the vampire's ribcage. Finn gasped and Princess Bubblegum shook her head.
"No. I mean don't get me wrong, it probably did cause her a great deal of pain but that wouldn't be enough to knock her out, but that does explain the blood."
"Wait! I thought if a vampire was stabbed with a wooden stake they would die." Finn said not taking his eyes off Marceline.
"Well yes, but the only way it can kill a vampire is if it was pierced threw their heart. This was probably where Marceline's attacker was aiming for." Bubblegum explained.
"Well let's figure this out after we help Marcie. We need to get that stake out." Jake said and Finn nodded in agreement. So Finn carefully scooped Marceline up in his arms then the three ran out of the castle, ignoring the ice kings demands to untie him. Once they were outside Jake used his power to grow big and ran as quick as he could to the Candy kingdom with Finn PB and Marceline on his back.
Finn looked down at Marceline and frowned sadly. "Princess Bubblegum? Do you think Marceline will be okay?"
The princess looked over at him and sighed "Well Finn, I don't know. I can't get any more info until she wakes up and tells me what happened to her."
The magical dog then came to a complete stop "We're here!" He announced as the princess and the adventurer jumped off his back and ran in the candy castle and ran inside the candy hospital.
"Place her on the bed carefully!" PB told Finn who nodded and did as he was told. Bubblegum walked over to the bed with gauze and bandages in her hand and placed them on the table near the bed "Okay, I'm going to try and remove the stake now." She said a bit nervous. She then carefully as she could, started to pull the stake out. When the stake was about half way out, the vampire's eyes shot open and she hissed loudly knocking the princess to the ground and pinning her.
"Jake! Quick use your arms to tie her up so she can't move!" Jake nodded at his brother and stretched his arms out and wrapping them around the vampire's waist and arms. "You okay princess?" Finn asked as he helped PB up.
"Yeah, Thanks guys." She looked over to see Jake struggling to keep the queen still.
"Guys! A little help here!" Finn ran over to the two and placed his hands on Marceline's cheeks and looked her in the eyes.
"Marceline! It's me Finn, your friend. I'm not going to hurt you and neither is Jake or princess Bubblegum. You're safe now, I promise." He spoke calmly not taking his eyes off her. Almost instantly the vampire queen calmed down and stopped struggling.
"F-Finn?" Her voice was weak and tired. Finn barely even recognized her. He hated seeing her like this. Jake placed her back on the bed and he frowned. Even though he didn't like the vampire queen when they first met, he grew to be quite fond of her and it hurt him to, to see her like this.
"Marceline?" The vampire looked over at the princess as she walked over to the bed. "Do you remember what happened to you before you passed out?" Marceline nodded but didn't say anything, clearly not wanting to talk about it right now. PB sighed "Okay you don't have to say anything right now but I do need to get this stake out." Without waiting for a reply the princess quickly pulled the rest of the stake out. This caused Marceline to hiss out in pain. PB quickly wrapped the wound. "Just rest, you can tell us what happened later" With that, Marceline fell into a deep yet painful sleep.
The three left the room to let the vampire rest. "You okay Finn?" Jake asked looking at Finn who had his eyes glued to the ground and it sounded like he was sniffling.
"Yeah…" He didn't take his eyes off the ground
Jake sighed "Bro, its okay to admit that your sad, or Angry, Maybe both?"
"I just can't stand seeing a good friend suffer like this! Whoever did this to Marcie will pay!" He said the last part angrily.
"Why don't you two go home and get some rest. Tomorrow we can ask Marceline what happened." PB said to the adventurers.
"Yeah good idea princess. Come on Finn lets go home." So the two brothers headed back to their tree house to get some sleep. Jake fell asleep in seconds but Finn couldn't stop tossing and turning. Every time he shut his eyes he saw the hurt confused gaze Marceline had in her eyes earlier that day. Finn just wanted it to be morning so he could find out who did this to her.
The next morning, Finn woke up early and even though he only got a few hours of sleep, he was wide awake. "Jake! Are you up!" he called out to his brother.
The yellow dog came down the ladder, rubbing his eyes "Yeah, yeah. Let's go to the candy kingdom."
When they arrived at the castle they ran right to the hospital side and ran to the vampire queens room. When they got inside PB was already there, talking to the vampire "Marcie you're up!" Finn said with a smile.
"Hey dweebs" She said with a smirk causing Finn to smile wider, happy she was acting like her old self.
"How are you feeling?" Jake asked as him and Finn walked over to her bed.
"Sore but not too bad" It was silent for a few minutes till Marceline spoke up again "I guess I should explain what happened. First off I would like to apologize to you Bonnible, for attacking you like that. I uhh I thought you were someone else."
"It's okay Marceline. I know you didn't mean it." PB reassured her.
"Okay so the sun was just beginning to come up and I was floating towards my house when I was tackled to the ground by someone. I quickly got into attack mode and threw him off me showing all my fangs but he just laughed at me and called me vampire scum. He then took out a wooden stake but he was way too quick. I only managed to just barely dodge it. Instead of him hitting his target it hit me in the side instead."
"So what caused you to pass out? I know that injury could never knock a vampire out cold." Princess bubblegum said and Marceline sighed.
"Ugh! He used something." Marceline closed her eyes and tried to remember "I was in too much pain after he stabbed me, I wasn't really paying attention. I just remember intense pain, like lightning was sent threw my entire body and then everything went black."
"Do you think this guy will try and come back for you?" Jake asked
"I-I don't know."
"Okay well I don't think you should be alone right now. You can stay here at the candy castle with me or you can stay with Finn and Jake." Marceline then glared at the candy princess.
"Look guys, I really appreciate your concern but I can take care of myself. I don't need to be watched."
"Come on Marcie! You can stay at the tree house with me and Jake just for tonight then you can go home, or we can go try and find this guy an-" Finn was cut off by Marceline
"NO! You can't go after him, Finn! If it will make you happy and drop this whole thing then I'll stay at your place just for tonight though."
Finn smiled and nodded but he wasn't going to let this guy get away with what he did but he decided to drop it for now, not wanting to upset the vampire any further. "Okay Marceline sounds like a deal." 'But mark my word, I will find this guy and he will pay! Even if I have to do it by myself' Finn said to himself as he helped her up.
A/N: Sloppy? I dunno. I'll fix any spelling errors later. I would draw pics for this story but I kinda suck at drawing so I don't think I will :P anyways I'll be working on the next chap soon ^^
