The room was filled with silence as Marceline looked up in disbelief, Ash's head rolled across the floor. His blood spraying from his headless corpse as it pooled on the floor. Finn panted heavily as blood sprayed over his head. He dropped the demon blood sword onto the ground as he fell to his knees, his whole body trembling as he gazed at the blood that now covered his hands. Marceline staggered up holding her stomach as she wobbled over to Finn. "F..Finn.." She placed her hand on his shoulder feeling his entire body trembling as he just sat and stared at his hands. "Finn..Finn look at me." She moved her hand to cup his cheek turning his head to her. The look in his eyes was a look she had not seen since that fateful night, the night his family was killed in front of his eyes. That look of horror and terror in his eyes was almost enough to send her into tears. She knew that Finn was a kind soul but to kill someone though, to cleave Ash's head clean off the way he did, to Finn it was like he had just killed his mother and father with his own hands. She placed her hands on his cheeks gently "Finn..listen to me, it's all right Finn. Everything is all right, it's over now Finn were both safe." Finn gasped and croaked as his lungs and mind tried to force words out of his mouth, only to find himself unable to as Marceline gently pulled him into her embrace.
"Finn it's all right, you saved the baby and me." She whispered in his ear as she felt tears begin to travel down her neck and back. Finn continued to struggle to cope with what he had just done, still unable to push a single word from his mouth as rivers of tears flowed from his trembling eyes. Marceline held him tightly as she picked him up, making sure not to let him from her embrace as she slowly walked to the stairs leading up to the second floor. The crowd around them parted to make way from them both as they remained silent in disbelief. A human had just killed one of the most powerful and dark wizards in the wizard kingdom, and with a single swing of a sword to. Marceline had made her way from the main chamber down a long hall before reaching a small empty guest room. She gently shut the door behind them with her foot as she floated to a small bathroom. She slowly relaxed her embrace on Finn and looked to see he had passed out. Probably from the shock of all that he had done and that had happened she assumed as she began to remove his clothes and run a bath. After a little while she came from the bathroom holding Finn softly in her arms as she floated to the bed, gently placing him in it before tucking him in.
She still couldn't believe what Finn had done, though not so much that she didn't believe he would do what he did but that he was able to. If not for him Ash may have actually kill the child she was carrying and have seriously hurt her as well, but many had tried before to kill Ash. She had even tried once or twice after he had sold her precious keepsake long ago, But none had ever succeeded, yet he managed to do it in one swing of the sword. She got up floating to the door before coming out and closing it softly. She made her way back to the main hall were everyone remained, almost as if frozen in time. She walked down the stairs before hearing a voice from behind her. "That's quite the pet you have dear." She turned around to see her father standing atop the stairs. "He is not my pet.." She replied softly as Hudson walked down to her. "I know Marceline, I figured as much from all the things I have heard." He walked past her to the mess of blood and Ash's corpse. He transformed into his demonic self sucking the blood and body from the floor as he consumed it, transforming back to his usual self before letting out a burp. "Ah delicious" he smiled as he looked around. "My dear guests I apologize for all that has happened. Please I ask you not let this spoil the party I have worked for and continue as you were." And as if time suddenly began to move forward again the crowd began to converse and the party was as lively as ever.
Hudson walked over to Marceline before placing a hand on her side "Your not hurt are you sweetie?" Marceline blushed embarrassed "Dad I'm a lot stronger than I look, I'm fine." He laughed patting her head "Yeah I know you're a tough girl Marceline just like your father. So, how is he?" Marceline looked away "I..I don't know..he passed out from the shock and is upstairs resting...I still just can't believe.." Hudson put his hand on her cheek pulling her gaze to him "Listen Marceline that boy has done what many demons could not. But not only did he kill Ash but he did what no one else here would have done, and that was protect you. I think everyone here has seen just how close to you that boy really is, and he has more than earned my respect." Marceline smiled happily "Thanks dad.." He laughed loudly "well enough of all this father daughter bonding, it doesn't suit us well. The party seems to have started moving so let's go check on Finn." She nodded and they both went upstairs to the guest room, Finn still laid passed out in the bed as she floated to his side and stroked his cheek.
Finns eyes began to open slowly as he turned to see Marceline "M..Marcy..?" She smiled softly kissing his forehead "Yeah Finn its me.." Hudson walked up to her side and smiled "Hey there kid, seems your quite the talk of my party. I don't believe we have actually met, I'm Hudson Abadeer ruler of the Night-O-Sphere. And you my boy Have done a great thing tonight." Finn turned his head away as tears began to form again "I..That man I just.." "Cleaved his head clean off?" Hudson interrupted "Yes you did, but that man was a powerful wizard and a horrible man, not only did he bring harm to others but he dared bring harm to my daughter in my very home. Finn you gave that man just what he deserved and not only that but you protected my daughter from being harmed. You have done a very righteous thing." Finn turned back to them as Hudson extended his hand. Finn stood up from the bed looking up at Hudson who was a good two feet taller than him. Marceline smiled as Finn nervously reached out and shook his hand. "Finn you have my full respect, and I am more than proud to consider you part of the Abadeer family. You take good care of my little girl like you have been, or ill suck your soul clean out" He laughed.
Marceline hugged Finn softly before turning to her dad. "If its ok father may we return home? This has been quite the ordeal for both of us." He smiled and patted her back "Of course, I'll go mingle with the other guests. You two head back home and rest." Marceline smiled as her and Finn walked out and headed to her father's office were the portal to their home had opened up. They stepped through as it closed behind them and they found themselves back in the comfort of their home. She led Finn to the bedroom before sitting him down on the bed. "Finn..are you ok?" "Y..yeah..I just...don't know.." She put her finger to his lips "Finn you did the right thing, you were my hero Finn." She whispered in his ear as she floated off to the bathroom. Finn sat on the edge of the bed deep in thought before he heard the bathroom door open and looked up to see quite a sight. Marceline stood leaning against the bathroom door in lacy velvet lingerie. Finns jaw almost dropped seeing her in her attire as she smiled seductively. "It wouldn't be right Not to give my hero a just reward." She cooed as she walked to Finn, swaying her hips showing off her sexy thighs and body as she traced her fingers across his chest pushing him back onto the bed as she crawled to his face. "Its time for you to claim your reward Finn.."
