The Choices I Have To Make

Chapter 12

Fionna's P.O.V

I heard hissing from Marshall Lee and the thing that was on his head. I looked around trying to find the light switch, if I could find it then I could help Marshall Lee get the creature off of him. Trying to look for the door next to the light switch, I saw a dark tall looking figure that looked like the size of a door. I ran to the dark figure as fast as I could with pain hitting me in the side. The pain wasn't bothering me, it was the hissing I heard. When I reached the tall figure, I put my hand on it to fill hard wood. I felt around the door frame to find the light switch. I felt the light switch on the right side of the door and I turned on the lights. Then I heard a loud bang behind me. I turned around quickly to see Marshall Lee standing up with nothing on his face. He fixed his jet black hair and fixed his shirt.

"What was that noise?" I asked him.

"See for yourself," he said pointing to the wall on his left side.

I saw white and brown fur almost like, Cake!

"Cake!" I exclaimed.

She didn't respond. I felt ecstatic to see Cake, then realized that Cake was hurt. I saw a big dent above her head. I ran to her as hard as I could, forgetting my pain.

She looked up to me and asked in a quiet voice," Fionna? Is that you?"

"Yes Cake, I'm Fionna. Are you ok?" I asked her.

She rubbed her head, then looked up and down at me. She hugged me around my side then quickly pulled away, Cake lifted up my shirt to see the bandages that I put on in the bathroom.

Cake turned her head to Marshall Lee and said," You monster!"

She grew into a bigger Cake and grabbed Marshall Lee. He hissed at her, but then he looked at me. I knew I had to do something. Cake threw him outside the front door and she followed him. I rushed out the door to see Marshall Lee forming into his huge bat, the same form he used to fly us here. He grabbed Cake's shoulders, turned her quickly, and threw her on the ground. The ground underneath my feet shook.

"Stop! Cake don't fight him!" I exclaimed.

"Why should I stop? He hurt you. He has to pay for what he has done," She said blocking her face from Marshall Lee's punches.

"Because he isn't as bad as he seems," I yelled.

"Yeah right," she said.

"Trust me! Come here!" I exclaimed.

She stopped, shrinking back into her normal shape. Marshall Lee stopped punching her and formed into his normal vampire form.

Cake ran up to me and said,"I know he hurt you! Those marks are from a vampire. I remember hearing you scream from something, but I couldn't reach you. I blacked out as soon as I heard you scream."

"Yes it's true, but why would he keep me alive?" I asked.

Cake stopped talking, she knew that vampires drank blood and they don't keep their prey alive. She looked up at Marshall Lee, who was behind me, and she didn't attack him.

"Then why are you still alive?" She asked.

I couldn't answer Cake. I didn't know why I was still alive.

"Um. I don't know why, but the important thing is that I am alive," I said.

"Wait a minute. Don't tell me you're with a vampire now. What about Prince Gumball?" She asked raising her eyebrow.

I blushed, I could feel my cheeks getting warm. Why was I blushing? I didn't like Marshall Lee more than a friend, maybe not even that I think. Did I like him more than a friend? I haven't really thought about it. Marshall Lee started to laugh and float around Cake.

"You are some kitty, you know. I wonder what's in that head off yours," he said touching her head.

"Hands off vampire," she said.

He smiled at her then at me. Now he knew I was blushing.

"No, that isn't happening. Marshall Lee just helped me survive my cut, he gave me some pills and now I don't feel a lot of pain in my side. He just helped me," I said to Cake.

"Well I guess this vampire isn't as scary as he sounds like," she said grinning.

All of a sudden Marshall Lee hissed at Cake and she jumped with her fur flying up.

"What was that kitty?" He asked.

"Don't call me kitty. Fionna remember why your here in the first place. You were here to capture the vampire and bring him to Prince Gumball," she said.

"What," Marshall Lee said putting his feet on the ground.

I sighed and said," Yes, I was suppose to do that. Now I think I can't do that. For all that you have done for me I can't do that."

Then we hear horns, like the ones from the Candy Kingdom.

"I think that is the Candy Kingdom! We need to go inside now!" I said.

We ran into the house and closed the door.

"We need to hide you," I said that Marshall Lee.

"No need to worry. I have the power to make me invisible," he said.

The horns kept getting louder and louder until we heard them a few feet away from the tree house. I ran to the couch grabbing a blanket to act like I was sick.

"Marshall Lee, go stand in this corner by the couch. That way you won't be touched when you're invisible," I said.

"I don't normally take orders from girls, but I guess I can make an exception," he said with a smile on his face.

I smiled at him and he moves to the corner, about six feet away from me, and sits down. Then he looks like thin air.

"Cake try to make it look like you're cooking for me, I am going to pretend that I am sick. That way they won't be suspicious," I said.

"Ok honey, but that vampire better stay in that corner," she said.

"No worries," Marshall Lee said.

I jumped at the sound of his voice, then Cake turned on the stove to make it look like she was cooking me something. I wouldn't mind to have something to eat.

Then there was a loud knock on the door.
