Marshall Lee was having a nice time wondering around the thick woods. The trees were so thick with leaves he didn't really have to use his umbrella but did any way just in case. He also enjoyed scaring the occasional small animal, or sucking the red out of a couple of berries. Even with his vampire sense he didn't sense the Magic Woman watching him. The only reason why he finally did was because said woman jumped in front of him while laughing. The magic woman expected Marshall to be surprised and jump, or at least be a little scared. Marshall just glared at her and demanded " What do you want?"
The magic womans smile just broadened " Why to talk to you of course dear king!"
" Well you've talked to me now get out of the way."
Instead of doing as Marshall asked she got closer. Marshall was about two seconds away from beating her with his umbrella. She said in a merry voice "Dear king I think you need to...lighten up." Marshall had heard that many times before,and it usually meant he was about to get thrown into the sun light or fire. He prepared to smack her with his umbrella but before he could she hit him with a yellow beam of magic. He collapsed on the ground holding his sides. He knew he was transforming into something,but he didn't know what. It was ten times more painful than when he normally transformed. when it was all done he found he was significantly shorter than the magic woman, and that he was standing on all fours. He looked at his new body. " What the?" He had jet black fur all over his body, cute little paws, and out of the corner of his eyes he could see whiskers. " What am I?"
" you are the cutest kitten I have ever seen!" Exclaimed the magic woman while picking up the new found cat by the scruff of his neck. Marshall tried to claw her,but his stubby legs couldn't reach her. " Although the fact you can still talk disappoints me. Oh well it'll just make things more interesting."
" Turn me back you crazy bat or I'll suck you dry!" He threatened while hissing at her. She laughed at his threat which just made the vampire cat see red more. " Oh poor king your nothing more than a cat now! Granted a vampire cat,but you couldn't transform into anything else to save your life." She let out a giddy chuckle. Marshall wanted nothing more than to attack the woman. She picked up his shirt from the ground and started to wrap him in it. He protested " Hey hey what are you doing!?"
" Well now we can't have you burning up in the sun now can we? Don't worry you'll go to the one that can help you." She wrapped the sleeve of his flannel shirt around his head leaving his face out. Marshall was glaring as intently as he could at the woman. " Now to deliver you to the woman who can help you." She drop kicked Marshall out of the woods. By some miracle he was face down so he didn't get burnt. He did however scream very loudly.
Fionna was enjoying playing video games with Cake on Bmo. Suddenly Cakes tail poofed out. " What's wrong Cake?" Fionna asked while throwing her controller to the ground, and jumping up. " I hear someone yelling." They quickly ran to the window. They looked around,but saw nothing. Cake frowned " I swear it was so close to the house." Just as she finished saying that Fionna had to drop to the ground to avoid a black and red blur that busted through the window. It hit the ground, bounced a couple of times, and unrolled to reveal an unconscious kitten. Fionna and Cake ran over to it. Fionna cautiously poked the cat. It groaned,but didn't wake up. Cakes tail poofed out again and she hissed while looking around wildly. " I smell that vampire!" She growled " Come out Marshall we know your here!"
He didn't come out. Fionna once again focused on the kitten. She looked at what it had been wrapped up in. She gasped whens he realized what it was. " Cake you don't smell Marshall you smell his shirt." She picked it up. Yep diffidently Marshall's. Cake frowned in confusion again.
" But it's stronger than his shirt baby cakes."
Fionna gently nudged the cats head. It didn't do anything but breathe. She carefully picked up the cat and inspected it further. She couldn't see anything wrong with it so she assumed he got a nasty bump on the head. Fionna said to Cake " Well one things for sure this cute little guy was wrapped up in his shirt. Maybe Marshall knows who owns him."
Cake muttered " Maybe Marshall kicked him through the window."
" He would never do that Cake!"
" Oh really? What about that time he kicked me through the window?"
" That was an accident remember? He was being controled by his ex."
" Still hurt."
Fionna rolled her eyes and sat down on the couch. The kitten snuggled closer to her. she petted it's back affectionately. Cake was glaring at the kitten. " Something ain't right about that cat." Cake declared. Fionna sighed. " It's just a little kitten!"
cake countered with " So was Me-ow, and he was a tiny little assassin. This kitten could be one to!"
Fionna looked at the sleeping cat. " Cake I highly doubt he's an assassin. If anything he needs our help to get back home, or at least stay safe." Cake huffed and walked off muttering about her being stubborn. Fionna continued to gently pet the cat. That is until it woke up. At first it just blinked it's black eyes confusedly. It groaned which made Fionna stop mid pet. Normal non talking cats don't groan. With out opening it's eyes it asked " Why does my head hurt so much?"
And that was when Fionna screamed " MARSHALL!?" Cake was back in the room a split second later looking around wildly. " Where is that no good vamp?" She yelled. The kitten told her " Hello to you to Cake." the cats eyes were still closed. Cake looked at the cat in confusion. " Did that kitten just talk like Marshall Lee?"
His eyes shot open. He looked down at his furry body, up at Fionna,and then at Cake. He groaned and looked at his cute furry body " Damn it I was hoping that was a really bad dream!" He looked back up at Fionna " How the hell did I get on your lap?"
A very shocked Fionna quietly explained " You came flying in through the window wrapped up in your shirt, but you were knocked out. I picked you up and put you on my lap and kind of petted or erm...rubbed your back. What happened?" a very agitated Marshall paced around on Fionna's lap. While this didn't bother Fionna it did bother Cake. He told them what happened going from angry to desperate. He finished with " And then she said she was sending me to the woman who could help me. So can you?"
" Can you say please?" Cake muttered.
Fionna ignored her sister and answered Marshall " Of course. It's my duty to help the citizens of this land. I'm sure Gumball could help to."
" NO!" Marshall yelled while his fur bristled " Any one but that pink haired mad scientist!" Cake decided to pester the vampire king cat. " Oh is little Marshall afraid of Gumball?" Marshall gave Cake a look of pure hatred. He jumped off Fionna's lap and onto the table to try and get into Cakes face. " I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANY ONE CAT!"
Cake yelled back " Who you calling cat kitten?"
Fionna jumped up " You two stop it! Cake Marshall might be stuck like this for a long time so he'll be staying with s for a long time, and Marshall Gumball might be able to reverse this. We won't tell him that it's you,and you just won't talk. If you two don't play nice I'm throwing both of you in the nearest lake." Normally that wouldn't fill Marshal with fear,but for some reason now it did. He sat down while looking rather disappointed by the turn of events. Cake folded her arms and pouted at the ground. Fionna scooped Marshall up. " Now lets go and see P.G."
" Wait!" Marshall yelled as they were about to step out side. His new tail had entered the sunlight and start to burn " I can't go into sunlight still." Cake grabbed him and put him into Fionna's bag. He yelled from inside " Dear god do you ever clean this thing! Wait who are you!" There was a moment of silence " GET OFF!" Marshall Lee came flying out of Fionna's back pack right into a patch of sunlight. He hissed and ran behind Fionna who was taking off her back pack. She pulled out a small red crab. " Where did you come from?" She asked it. It just tried to pinch her fingers. She threw it out the window and turned to face the hurt Marshall Lee.
" It's safe to go back into the bag now." She told him.
He shook his head " No I'm not going back in there. I would rather be wrapped up in my shirt then go into that thing again." Cake stretched back into the living room and got his shirt. Before Marshall could do anything the large cat wrapped him up head to toe. A very muffled " Can't breathe!" Came from inside. Fionna snatched Marshall out of Cakes grip and pushed down the part covering his face. He gasped and took in deep quick breaths of air. " Everyone good?" Fionna asked. She got nods in return. " Okay lets go."
The walk to Candy Kingdom didn't take to long. Marshall was resting in the crook of Fionna's arm since he couldn't walk on his own. When they finally arrived at Gumballs castle Marshall was getting testy. He couldn't stand not being able to move. He wiggled around in his shirt silently cursing Cake. Fionna scolded him " Stop wiggling. you'll mess up the shirt and get burned."
He darkly muttered something the girls couldn't hear. Fionna knocked on the door, and a couple of seconds later Gumball answered the door in his usual cheerful manner. Marshall stopped squirming and started glaring. " Why hello Fionna and Cake." He noticed Marshall. He bent down and in a baby voice asked " And who is this cute wittle guy?" Marshall hissed in his face causing the prince to jump back.
" This is um.." Fionna tried to think of a name " Bob. yeah this Bob. He was a uh... walking in the woods when the Magic Woman turned him into a Kitten."
" Why is he all wrapped up like that?"
Cake quickly said " He has a sensitivity to sunlight. Like Marshal Lee,but he won't die if exposed to sunlight. Just a painful sun burn." Marshal was glaring as much as he could at the cat behind him. Gumball nodded while scratching his chin. " I see. well come in side. I can do some test to see if I can reverse the effects. Of course there is a chance I might not be able to turn him back. Sometimes there are certain conditions on which a curse or spell has to be reversed."
They followed him into the castle. Fionna unwrapped Marshal, and stuck his shirt in her bag. He muttered so only Fionna could hear " Great there goes my shirt."
" Oh shush. It'll be fine." Gumball heard Fionna talking and stopped and asked " Who are you talking to?"
" Uh my self. I was worried about. uh... the shirt I threw in my bag that was covering Bob. I have a lot of sharp objects in there and you know it could get torn and what not."
Gumball smile and nodded " I see." He suddenly smiled " Wait I got just the thing in my lab!" They continued walking at a faster pace. When they got into his rather large lab the Prince made a bee line to a corner with lots of clothes and sewing tools. Fionna could hear Marshal snickering. " What?" She questioned.
Between snickers he said " He sews, skips, and wears all pink. How do you have a crush on the man? If you can call him a man."
She looked at PG who was happily humming and looking through various clothes. She blushed and whispered " I used to have a crush,but it's gone now."
" Like in the past five seconds gone, or a year or two gone?"
" Five seconds."
" Ha!"
Prince Gumball came back over with what looked like a simple red leather collar with a single red stone hanging from it. " May I put this on him?" Fionna looked at Marshall. He was shaking his head,but she nodded any way. Marshall glared at the Prince the entire time as he put the collar on him.
" What is that?" Cake asked.
" Well the collar is just a normal collar,but the stone is of my own creation. It's designed to protect who ever is wearing it from the sun. I was making it for Marshall Lee since he complains about not being able to go out into the sun all the time." Even as a cat Marshall was blushing " But I figured it would be better to test it on someone less...violent."
Fionna quickly said " Wait you don't know if it works?"
" Well there aren't very many people who can't go out into the sunlight here." Gumball picked up Marshall and set him in a patch of sunlight. The cat jump out of it expecting to be burned. He quickly realized nothing bad had happened. He cautiously stepped into the light. He didn't burn, sizzle, or smoke. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was nice to feel the warmth of the sun again. The moment was disrupted when Fionna cowed " Aw your purring."
With out thinking Marshall snapped " I'm not purring! I'm finally enjoying the sun!" There was a stunned silence after that. Everyone looked at Gumball, who had a blank look on his face. He quietly asked " Marshal Lee?"
The man in question sighed " Yes it's me."
Gumball was on the ground laughing holding his side. Cake was watching Gumball,and Fionna was watching Marshall. Marshall's glare went from ' I hate my life' To ' I HATE YOU SO MUCH!' But it wasn't focused on Fionna. No it was focused solely on Gumball. Marshall's eyes turned a bright red as he jumped on the laughing Princes face and started to claw it to shreds. Gumballs laughing quickly changed to shouts of pain. Fionna quickly ripped the cat off of Gumballs face. Marshall continued to claw the air while yelling " LET ME GO SO I CAN CLAW HIS GUMBALLS OFF!"
And on that happy note I end the first chapter. Please tell me what you think.
