They came out the other end of the portal to an office like room. "What is this place" Finn asked as he walked around inspecting the room. "This is my dad's office, the party is in the main lobby." She took his hand pulling him to the door. "Come on, we don't want to be late." She opened the door and lead him down a long series of hallways before coming to a large open room. Downstairs there were at least a hundred maybe more people, most vampires but their were also some delegate from the fire and wizard kingdom. She took his hand and walked down the stairs with him as the crowd began to look their way. Finn could hear all sorts of whispers coming from the now silent crowd as they all looked towards them. He couldn't make out what but he could hear Marceline name being whispered as well as some inquiry on who she was with. Marceline stopped at the bottom of the stairs and smiled before giving a bow. "Thank you all for coming, I hope you enjoy the party." With that the crowd began to pick up again as people started to converse.
Finn felt very uneasy, as if hungry and evil eyes were peering from all over. He took Marceline hand and she could tell he was nervous, "Finn relax nobody will harm you here." She smiled kissing his cheek softly. Just then a older woman approached them both. "Marceline! I'm so happy to see you here. How have you been?" Marceline smiled hugging her "Alisa! I have missed you so much!" The woman looked towards Finn, "Is this your pet..?" Marceline took Finns hand "This is Finn, and no he is not my pet. He is much more to me if that is a problem?" She laughed "Not at all Marcy you were always an odd one." She leaned down a bit to Finns level "I use to watch Marceline when she was younger. She was always getting into all sorts of strange things." She leaned back up "Well I would love to chat more but I have others to talk with, please give your father my regards." She smiled before walking off to another group. "See Finn?" Marceline whispered as she took his hand "The people here are not that bad.
Finn smiled beginning to feel a bit more at ease as they went around talking to other close family friends of Marceline and her dads. The party was reaching its peak and Finn and Marceline were chatting to a diplomat of the fire kingdom when Finn heard someone from the middle of the room yell out. "Hey Mar-Mar!" Marceline turned and her smile quickly turned as a man with white hair coming down from the sides and a white line of hair coming down the center of his head came walking up. "Funny seeing you here bitch, bet you have been pretty lost without me huh?" Marceline sighed "Hello ash.." Ash looked at Finn smirking "Who's this meat bag? your pet? You always had awful tastes for a woman." Marceline turned to Finn "This is Ash..my ex-boyfriend and this is Finn" she turned to Ash. Ash gave a small laugh "I wouldn't say Ex, this bitch is lost without me around. She will come running back before too long" He started to laugh out loud.
This pulled at Finns nerve "I would appreciate it ash...if you would not speak to my mistress with such disrespect.." He stopped laughing and glared at him with annoyance with his remark before pulling his fist back and punching Finn square in the jaw sending him flying across the floor. "Don't talk back to me you piece of shit!" "Finn!" Marceline yelled as she started to go to him, only to have ash grab her arm tight. "Were do you think our going? He is just a worthless pet. I'll buy you another one." he smirked. She pulled away from his grip slapping him hard across the face. "Finn is not my pet! He is my lover!" Before she could see it coming ash punched her square in the face throwing her to the floor. "You stupid bitch! Cheating on me with some lowlife human!" He began to kick her in the stomach repeatedly. Finn staggered to his feet and saw Ash kicking Marceline in the stomach. something inside him snapped remembering the special life she was carrying inside of her. He began to breathe heavily as his face turned red with anger and rage, he looked over to see a demon sword mounted on the wall. He grabbed it and ran towards his love, he closed his eyes, uncontrollable tears streaming down his face as he gave screamed. Ash only had a second to look over before Finn brought down the sword with one mighty swing.
