Jake sighed as he put the phone down on its end table, he just got off the phone with Princess bubblegum and she was now on her way over to the tree house. Jake just hoped she gets here in time. He still couldn't get the image of the broken vampire out of his mind. "Oh Glob, please get here soon PB" He said to himself as he climbed back up the latter leading to the bedroom. The yellow dogs frown deepened at the sight. Finn had his head buried in the vampire's neck and sobs wracked his form. "Bro?" Jake placed his paw on the humans shoulder "PB is on her way, she should be here soon."

After getting no response from the boy the dog slowly backed up but before he could climb down the ladder, he heard his raspy voice "Jake, I-I think I-I'm in love with Marceline."

Jake looked over at Finn as his jaw dropped "What!? But Finn you love Flame Princess."

Finn looked at the ground and sighed "I did, well I thought I did anyways. I mean FP is really sweet and I do love her but I'm not in love with her. I don't know what to do Jake!" The human wiped the tears from his face and looked at his brother hoping for some good advice.

"Bro, are you sure you're in love with Marceline? Or are you just really, really, really worried about her that you think you're in love with her."

"No dude! I been feeling this way about her for awhile now but I just ignored it." The hero looked over at the vampire as more tears leaked their way out of his eyes "I don't want to lose her, Jake"

Before Jake could respond, a loud banging noise was heard from downstairs. Jake quickly ran downstairs and answered the door "PB! Marceline is up in the bed room." The candy princess quickly pushed past the dog and ran to the bedroom where the human boy and the injured vampire were.

"Move out of the way Finn!"

Finn did as he was told and stepped aside as the princess threw her bag on the ground and got to work on the Vampire queen. "Is she going to be okay?" Finn asked scared to know the answer.

Princess bubblegum sighed in relief "Luckily the stake didn't hit her heart, so she should be fine, but Finn we can't let her be alone anymore. Clearly someone wants her dead and they probably won't stop till they seceded."

Finn nodded in agreement "I know and I swear I'm not letting her out of my sight this time, no matter how stubborn she gets."

Princess bubblegum smiled at the hero "Good. Now for the hard part" she looked down at the stake emerging from Marceline's chest. PB sighed as she slipped off Marceline's shirt. This caused Finn to blush deeply. "Finn, I need you to hold her down for me."

Finn's face turned even redder "O-Okay" He walked over to the bed and pinned the vampire to the bed, hoping she didn't have the same reaction she did the last time.

"Okay, here goes nothing" PB grabbed hold of the stake and quickly pulled it out; she quickly grabbed some gauze and towels. Using the towel to soak up the blood and gauze and banged to wrap the wound, the vampire was soon all patched up and resting.

Finn looked down at the vampire with a worried expression "How come she didn't wake up when you pulled the stake out?"

"Finn, she's been threw a lot, her body is probably just worn out. Now I got to go back to my kingdom but Marceline should wake up soon. This wound will take a little longer to heal then the last one so don't let her trick you. "

Finn nodded and walked out with the princess "Thanks PB." He said as she walked out the door, he waved bye as she left on her hawk.

Jake walked over to Finn and looked up at him "How is she?"

"She's going to be okay." The human boy shut the door and walked into the living room, slumping on the couch. "The stake didn't pierce threw her heart, but what am I suppose to do about being in love with her? I don't want to hurt FP's feelings but I might have to break it off with her but what if Marcie doesn't feel the same way about me?" The human boy pulled at the two nubs on his hat as he freaked out.

"Bro! Calm down, no matter what Marcie's feelings are towards you, you still need to break it off with Flame princess. I mean you said it yourself, you're not in love with her."

Finn went to go protest but stopped, knowing his brother was right. He can't be in a relationship with someone he's not in love with. "Okay, you're right Jake." The boy sighed "I have to end it with FP."

"I'm sorry bro, you going to be okay?"

Finn nodded "yeah, I'll go see FP tomorrow but right now I want to find out who did this to Marceline!" Finn jumped off the couch and paced around back and forth, angrily.

"Hmmmmm, well before she came knocking on our door half dead, where was the last time you saw her?"

Finn stopped pacing and thought for a moment "She was heading back to her house after we just dropped Ash at his house….. Ash! He has to have something to do with it! How else could he of known that someone was after Marceline?"

Jake looked up at his brother, totally confused "So wait, what happened with Ash?"

"No time! I'll explain on the way! Beemo!" The little computer came walking into the room when he heard the human boy call his name.

"Yes Finn?"

"Me and Jake have to go somewhere, Keep an eye on Marceline will ya? "

"If anyone tries hurting vampire lady I kill them!"

Finn smiled at the little videogame "Thanks Beemo! We'll be back soon." With that the two brothers left for yet another adventure.

After Finn explained everything to Jake, the dog was a little more eager to pay the rag wizard a visit. Once they made it to his house the boys walked up to the front porch "Okay Jake, I'm going to bust down this door with a kick and you're going to use your powers to tie him up before he gets the chance to use some wizard magic on us." Jake nodded "Okay, 1,2….3!"

Finn kicked the door in but saw no sign of the Wizard "Where is he?" Jake asked looking around.

Finn shrugged "Let's check th-" Finn was cut off by an angry growl.

"What are you doing here!?" Ash appeared in the door way looking extremely angry.

"Now Jake!" The hero screamed as the magical dog used his powers to tie the wizard up with his paw.

"Hey! Put me down! What do you mortals want!?"

Finn walked over to the tied up wizard and growled out "Why are you hurting Marceline!?"

"What!? I'm not the one who is trying to assassinate her!"

"We know you're involved with it, so spill!" Jake said as he tightened his grip, causing Ash to cry out in pain.

"I'm not telling you guys anything!"

"Alright Fine, Jake" The human looked at the stretchy dog and nodded, Jake then tightens his grip.

"Gahhhhh! Okay, okay! I'm not the one who is after her but I am the one who hired him! If I can't have Marceline then no one can!"

Finn was shaking with anger now "You what!?" Finn then drew his sword and held it to Ash's throat.

"Whoa, Finn Calm down, we need more info out of him before you even think about that."

"Grrrr" Finn lowered his weapon. "Who is it you hired? And where can we find him?"

"He never told me his name but he specializes in killing vampires, he also said he was the best vampire hunter around and I don't know where he is."

"Well can't you just call it off?" Jake asked as he loosed his hold.

"Nope, once he has a target he won't stop till its dead. Now put me down!"

Jake dropped the wizard and looked over at Finn "What now?"

Finn sighed "Let's go home. I want to make sure Marcie is okay."

Jake nodded and the two left the wizard's house. "Stupid mortals," Ash got up and dust himself off. All of a sudden the wall split in two and a figure stepped out of the firey crack "What the? Who are yo-" Before he could finish, the figure slammed him against the wall causing the wizard to lose consciousness.

(At the tree house)

As Finn and Jake walked inside the house, Jake looked up at the human "So what do we do now?"

Finn sighed deeply "Well, we are going to have to find this vampire hunter and kill him. It's the only way to save Marceline, but we need to wait till Marcie is healed."

"Okay, but what about Ash?"

"We can deal with him later."

The next morning, Marceline slowly woke up and groaned 'Okay, what happened last night? Why can't I move without causing pain?' She slowly opened her eyes "This is not my room." She said out loud as she looked around. "Finn? Jake?" She called out finally realizing where she was.

Finn ran as fast as he could up to his bedroom when he heard Marceline's voice. "Marcie!" Finn ran over to the vampire and hugged her.

"Oww! Finn that hurts" She hissed out in pain as Finn pulled away

"Sorry Marceline but I thought we lost you. Do remember what happened yesterday?"

Marceline sighed "Yeah…. That bastard tried killing me again! I tried fighting back but this guy is tricky."

"Don't worry Marceline we'll get him. Marcie?" Finn looked down at her "You okay?" He asked as tears rolled down her face.

"Finn, I don't want you to help. I don't want you to get hurt."

"Marceline, we already talked about this. No matter what you say me and Jake are going to help you beat this guy, if not he could kill you! I don't want to lose you, your one of my best friends!"

The vampire queen stared at the human "Finn I-" She paused for a moment "Never mind, I guess if we all attack him, we could have the advantage."

Finn smiled "Heh Yeah! Oh and while this vampire hunter is lose you have to stay here and not be alone even for a second!" before the queen could reply, Finn ran from the room knowing Marceline would not be happy with that news.

"He is so lucky I can't get up right now!" The vampire crossed her arms in a way that was not child like at all.
