Can you guess what movie inspired this chapter's title? XD
Anyway, last chapter we had a bit of a drama bomb dropped, and I left everyone hanging. Oh I'm such a horrible person! Sorry, but cliffhangers keep the plot interesting.
Disclaimer: I don't own AT and blah blah blah...
After at least ten minutes of silence, I finally find my voice, "What?"
Marshall didn't reply, he walked outside shutting the door behind himself, then obviously shooting something because the sound of shots rang in my ears. I turned away from the old wooden door, Gregory sat quietly on the couch, looking at me. "What does he mean?" I ask.
"I'm not sure he'll answer all your questions on the walk." Gregory reassured me, gesturing for me to go, I took the hint and opened the front door, running out after Marshall.
Me and Marshall walked side by side, no talking at all, just the sounds of the forest around us. I wince as a branch brushes up against my bad arm, Marshall stops staring at his feet and looks over to me, "What? A little injury like that gonna make you cry?" he teased.
"No!" I snap, holding my forearm. He looks taken back for a minute. With a sigh he goes back to staring at his feet as they shuffle through the leaves on the forest floor, I poke at the bandage, holding back another whimper.
"...Seriously though, you OK?" he asks, not looking up.
"Yeah, but I do have a couple unanswered questions..." I stop walking and look over at him, of course he stopped walking too. "About earlier and stuff." I add, he looks to me and smiles.
"Well, I'm not exactly human, but I'm human in a weird way."
"Like how?"
He groans, probably realizing there was no way around answering me, "I'm kinda the son of a demon." he replied quickly.
"That explains the blueish pale skin." I thought out loud, "And the whole being a jerk thing."
He laughs, "But..." oh God, what else could he say? "I'm also a Vampire." he continued, wait did he just say Vampire? Now that I think about those are sharp teeth and... Marshall Lee is a Vampire. No way, not possible.
"Yeah right."
He shrugged, obviously not interested in proving anything to me, "Wanna see something awesome?" he smirked and I nodded. This is going to be fun, this idiot trying to convince me he's a vampire, do I look stupid or some-
"Ow!" I shout in pain as Marshall bites down on my wrist, making disgust slupping sounds as red liquid leaked from the corners of his mouth as he pulled away and released my hand. I stood there terrified, two fresh holes in my wrist and blood covering his chin and mouth. "D-Did you j-just drink my BLOOD?!"
He nods and wipes his chin, "Vampire thing."
I didn't want to follow Marshall starting walking, I really didn't, but he knew the way to the creek. And if I got to the creek, I could get back to BMO, that's all that is important. So as soon as the vampire took me back to where he found me, I ran, as fast as I could toward the tree-house.
"Wait! Blondie wait up!" I heard him call out from behind me, I didn't listen though.
'Keep running, keep running, keep running..." I kept repeating under my breath, the feeling of the wind in my hair would have been enjoyable if it weren't for the creature following me, I could still hear him calling for me. What am I going to do?!
(Marshall's POV)
What is wrong with this chick? I know I drank her blood, and honestly I'm surprised I could stop myself from draining her completely, but running away from me? Not cool, just not cool at all. Her blonde hair trailed behind her as she ran in front of me, so fast even flying I couldn't keep up with the girl. Yes, I fly, but that's a story for later.
"STOP RUNNING!" I order, tired of chasing her already. I really couldn't call out her name, since she never told us what it was. So I followed her a bit further, the girl had gotten a good distance ahead of me but I could still see her. Just as I was admiring how fast she was, the blonde stopped and didn't move. I stopped too, watching carefully as she fell to her knees. Is she OK? What's wrong? Why am I so worried about her?
I walked up to her, and my heart broke at the sound of pitiful sobs coming from the cute blonde. Yes, I just called her cute, it means nothing. Anyway, she wasn't looking at me, she was looking at this old burnt up tree thing. "What's up?" I ask, she looked up at me, tears in her eyes, trying to speak but only succeeding in looking like a fish. When I thought she was finally going to say something, she burst into tears and stood up, hitting my chest with her fist as the tears flowed freely.
And it broke my heart.
"You did this!" she shouts, still hitting me. For a crying girl I must admit, she's got a strong punch. Before she can kill me I grab her wrist and make the crying girl sit on the ground, first step to calming her down, figure out what her name is. "What's your name?"
She glares at me, "I told you and Gregory already-" did she? "-It's Fionna. Now leave me alone!" she shouts, making some birds fly away from the treetops near us.
"Why?" I ask, kind of annoyed by her.
"Because you did this!"
"How?" I cross my arms as she stands up again.
"You dragged me away, because of you I couldn't be here, because of you I no longer have my best friend. You did this! You shot me in the arm. Now leave me alone bloodsucker or I'll drive a wooden stake through your cold dead heart!" Fionna warns.
"Excuse me, I wouldn't have taken you with me if I knew you'd be such a pain in the ass." I mumble the last part, but not quiet enough for Fionna not to hear it, because less than a second later a rock went flying pass my head. "I can take a hint." I tell her, floating back toward the creek. something told me to go back.
Don't leave her, she'll be alone.
No, I can't go back. Let the blonde die, won't bother me.
But it would, I can't stand the thought of her helpless and dying in the woods, should I just end it now for her? Save her the pain of being eaten alive? I should, but I can't, for reason I don't even understand.
The battle of choices I was having with myself was quickly ended when somebody screamed out from behind me, and I knew exactly what was happening, Fionna was probably being killed. Rage bubbled up inside me as I turned around and flew back, surprised to see Fionna pinning an orange haired dude to the ground.
I think I like this chick.
x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x
Everybody probably knows who the guy is Fionna pinned at the end, so that's not much of a mystery
