Here's Chapter 3! We finally decided to add Marshall Lee's POV into this story :) Oh, and our final national exams are over, at last, so we are fully on vacations now! That means more time for us to write and update this story.

Anyways, we decided it'd be good to add a music to this chapter (my friend had this idea) so if you wanna hear it, here's the link:

Enjoy the chapter! :)

Marshall Lee's POV:

After we finished our race (and had a little disagreement), me and Fionna found an entrance to what we were searching for: a dungeon. I didn't even have time to look around me before being pulled inside, floating through the staircase with the human girl in front of me, hand firmly grasping my arm. I felt my lips moving up, as if they could control themselves, and a wide smile spread across my features.

Once we got in, Fionna instantly let go of my arm and started to explore the new found territory, seeking an adventure. I decided it'd be better to just float behind her, to make sure she didn't get into any trouble. But something caught my eye. It was an old stained painting, a painting of a vampire girl, clothes and appearance strangely similar to mine. But the girl wasn't the thing attracting me. There was something very wrong with that painting. Whenever I moved, the girl moved. I tried leaning closer and floating backwards a bit, all actions repeated by the mysterious vampire on the other side.

"Fionna, you have to see this!" I said, turning around to find out that the human girl was nowhere in sight. I quickly forgot about the strange painting and started to look for the adventuress. She couldn't have gotten too far, could she?

It was then that I heard a loud yell, coming from a closed iron door. It was Fionna's voice. I got near the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. I called the human girl's name countless times, receiving no answer from the other side. Maybe I was imagining things… was she really calling me? Was it even her?

I went back to the painting, but the strange vampire girl wasn't there anymore. I touched it, hoping it to be some sort of portal or anything like that, but the only thing I felt was dust, nestling itself on my cold fingers. Maybe I really was imagining things.

I decided it would be better to look for Fionna, instead of being puzzled by some old stained empty painting. After searching the dungeon for any signs of where the human girl could be and finding nothing, I decided it would be better to return to the forest.

"Maybe she is waiting for me on the dungeon's entrance." I thought out loud, trying to keep calm. Fionna could handle herself, and I knew that. But that wouldn't stop my body from shivering with worry.

When I returned to the top of the staircase and found no trace of the adventuress, the shivers got stronger.

I resigned myself to waiting, because there was nothing else I could do. After awhile, I heard loud stiff breathing, followed by uncertain steps. Next thing I knew, Fionna was coming out of a hole in a tree nearby. Once she saw me, she let out a soft sigh and I approached her.

"Where were you?" I asked her. I then proceeded to think a bit. That iron door. She must have been trapped inside it. The high pitched scream wasn't my imagination playing tricks on me after all. The whole thing with the painting happened as well. But that wasn't a thing I should be thinking about at the moment. I had to check if Fionna was safe first.

"I couldn't find you after you were locked in that room." I stated, searching every part of her body for wounds, finding some fresh bruises. "I was worried" I admitted.

"You, Marshall Lee, actually concerned for someone? That's sweet." she said, laughing slightly, a hint of ironism in her voice. I let my tongue slip out of my mouth in response. "Don't flatter yourself." I then answered, and paused a bit to look around. It was getting darker. "C'mon, I have to get you home before Cake kills us both."

Fionna shook the dust out of her clothes, proceeding to check her bruises. She winced a bit while touching them, but kept her composure.

"She won't do anything to me, but I'd be worried if I was you. She might scratch your face off!" she answered, lifting her gaze to mine and we found ourselves laughing.

"By the way, what happened to you inside that room?" I asked, curious. I then saw her smile fade, a hint of sadness spreading itself through her features and I figured she didn't want to talk about that. It must've been pretty bad.

"It's ok if you don't wanna share it with me. Now come, I'll give you a lift to the tree house." I said, as I mutated into my large bat form. Fionna smiled at me, thankful for the understanding and climbed on my back, caressing my skin softly while we flew.

After some time we reached the tree house. The human girl got off my back and I returned into my normal form. "Hi babycakes" I heard Cake say to Fionna, smiling at her. Then, she turned around, ignoring me. She's been like that ever since that little prank I made. It's starting to get annoying.

"You know I'm here as well, dontcha?" I said, floating over to where the cat was cooking and waving in front of her face. "Oh trust me, I know, paste face!" she answered me and I felt like it was enough. If she wanted to treat me like that, she could, it wouldn't even bother me.

"Ok, whatever Cake… Look Fionna, I think I'm gonna head home. See ya tomorrow?" I said to Fionna, trying to hide my frustrated look a bit with a smile. I noticed she wasn't too happy with this situation as well, but there was nothing I could do. "Yes Marshall, I'll stop by tomorrow, don't worry." the human girl stated and then I proceeded to make my way to the window. "Ok then. Bye Fi."

"Bye kitty." I added, waving at them as I started to float out of the tree house. I knew Fionna was going to check if I left for sure, because she always did that when she had serious business she wanted to discuss with her cat sister. So I floated till I didn't feel her eyes on me anymore and at that moment I made my way back, standing near the now closed window.

"He was just kidding Cake, for glob's sake." I heard Fionna say. Then I couldn't make out Cake's answer. The fact that the window was closed wasn't helping me at all. I tried to find some solution, but ended up empty handed, returning back to my spot near the window.

"C'mon, Fionna, don't try to hide it from me! I know you like him." I wasn't able to catch all the word being spoken next, but this was really catching my attention. I tried to get closer to the window, getting a glimpse of a red faced Fionna and her grinning sister.

"You're in love with that vampire!" was what I heard next. My heart skipped a bit. What? Fionna the human, in love with… me? What about Prince Gumwad?

"Please Cake I'm begging you, don't tell anyone!" Fi pleaded. At that moment my ears stopped functioning. "I should go home now" I thought to myself, carefully floating away.

I reached my cave, grabbed an apple and went strait to my bedroom. As the red vanished from the fruit, I proceeded to look for my guitar. My fingers became one with it, and the notes started to flow, filling my usually cold and empty home with soft warming music.

"Windmill, windmill for the land

Turn forever hand in hand

Take it all in on your stride

It is sticking, falling down

Love forever, love is free

Let's turn forever you and me

Windmill, windmill for the land

Is everybody in?"

There wasn't any other way for me to express how flooded my mind was, so I just played, with a vivid image of the human girl before my eyes. Now I knew that she was definitely into me. The rest was yet to come.
