Chapter 1

"Finding Myself"

Fionna was taking yet another walk through the hills of Aaa that night, it wasn't a new thing for her lately and she had begun to learn these dark grounds like the back of her hand. She knew when to take a slightly longer stride due to the occasional dip in the grass, or when to side step due to a stone or patch of flowers she'd rather not trample. But even with this new-found knowledge of the night time land, she startled herself by walking face first into the mountain wall. Fionna hissed "Shit" but more in surprise than pain and rubbed her forehead, she's had way worse. She sighed and sat down against the solid stone wall and looked up at the night sky. Ever since she had turned 18 and Cake had deemed her old enough to leave her in charge for a few months while she and Lord Monochromicorn went on what Cake called "A much deserved sugar break" with a wink at the end. (She knew exactly what those two where up to) SoFionna had found herself wandering the area alone.
Even Prince Gumball had stopped calling her in for missions to "Give her a break" but Fionna then slowly began to realize that on only was the town actually okay without her, but that no mission calls from Gumball meant he actually didn't call her at all. Ever. And in the few months of her being "Grown up" it seemed they had grown apart. Now just seeing the ass in town square was just… Awkwardsauce.
Her eighteenth was meant to be an amazing thing, and don't get her wrong, the party was positively mathematical thanks to Cake. She had thrown the biggest party Fionna had ever seen, with just about everyone from Aaa there to congratulate her. She remembered the main room of the tree house strewn with brightly coloured streamers, fairy lights, and a huge banner "Happy Eighteenth Fionna the Human!" It was beautiful and she loved every moment, but once everyone had left and filed out, leaving Fionna to look at the empty party scene. She kept reading the banner over and over again.

Happy Eighteenth Fionna the Human!

Happy Eighteenth…

Fionna the Human…

Happy

Fionna…

The more she read it the more fucking confused she became. Now that she was an adult, shouldn't things be falling into place? She began to ask more questions than ever before, like what does being the last (Confirmed) human in Aaa even mean for her? What did being grown up entail for her? And everytime she read the banner she realized, she was not happy.

Fionna rubbed her temples as she lay back against the cool rock of the mountain behind her, and she could feel a chill run up her spine through her thin blue shirt. It was then that she heard a deafening crack from above. Fionna's head flew up as she whipped her hats bunny ears behind her head to try see where the noise had come from, only to see the whole in the mountain wall. Or course, this was where Marshall Lee's cave was! Momentarily Fionna considered not going to check out the scene, Marshall was probably just having an intense party or one of his hissy fits he'd gotten into the habits of having lately. It was only when the explosion of shadows, accompanied by a sickening scream, flew from the caves mouth that Fionna knew something was horribly wrong. So she gripped the sides of the rock wall, and began to scale it like a cat. Her only thought being "Please Glob let Marshall be okay!"

Fionna felt like she had walked into a war zone. As she pulled herself up into the cave, she saw Marshalls house not only collapsed on one side, but burning down on the other. Her eyes darted through the broken rock and rubble on the floor trying to spot Marshall Lee, any sign of him, but she was seeing nothing. Then she heard it, "I AM NOT GOING BACK THERE BITCH!" A guttural scream erupted from the ceiling above her and she followed the noise, only to see an explosion of what looked like fire meeting sticky tar. On the one side, a completely white-eyed, hair singed, and teeth bared Marshal Lee Abadeer. And on the other, a laughing, grey skinned woman with long black hair and a dress so dark it looked almost like liquid. Fionna was about to spring into action when she laughed;

"Now now Marshall, is that any way to talk to your mommy?"

Fionna gasped, loud enough for both Abadeers to hear her.

"Oh well now little Marshy, who might this little bunny be?" Said the strange woman as she swooped down towards Fionna, and laid a cold hand on her cheek. "Warm, delicious" and she licked her lips. Fionna seemed frozen in place no matter how hard she tried to move.

"LEAVE HER. THE FUCK. ALONE!" Marshalls voice resonated in a growl throughout the cave and charged his mom but with one flick of her hand she sent more of the sticky black tar back at Marshall and it pinned him to the cave wall, as his teeth gnashed at empty space. "SHE ISN'T PART OF THIS!"

Marshall was beginning to scare Fionna, as long as the woman had a hold on her she couldn't move, but she'd rather not move than have to watch him like this. His eyes had whitened out, his teeth looked even more dangerous as they grew, his nails had formed jagged talons and his skin was beginning to darken into strange patterns, looking more and more like lace along his skin. And his voice, it was a growl missed with a scream and blood poured from his mouth like spit. Fionna wanted nothing more than to scream but it stayed in her throat. The great adventuress wasn't afraid of anything, besides not being able to do anything.

"We'll seems like you're quite the important piece of ass to him," She sneered, "and as my Son is being so rude, I guess I'll just have to introduce myself. I am Lucy Abadeer, Empress of Flames, Queen of Demons, The Watchwoman on Hell." She threw her hands out sideways as if she was introducing herself to a huge crowd of cheering fans, allowing Fionna a second to speak "Wha-"

"Oh no no honey," Said Lucy as she grabbed Fionna's arm again, freezing her in motion "Still confused? I believe your people used to call me "Satan"." She said with a bit of a giggle. Fionna had heard many things about Marshalls past, but nothing bad enough to sway her friendship with him. But right now, staring it right in the face, she was petrified. "And I'm here to take my son home." And with the small bend of her finger, the disgusting tar that held Marshall to the wall pulled him towards her.

"LET ME GO!" came the sneer from the boys mouth. But now more demon than boy. Lucy threw more of the Tar onto his mouth to shut him up. "And home we go."

Lucy grabbed onto her sons hair and was about to fade away, she let go of Fionna. And it all happened in that split second.

Fionna was set free.

Lucy and Marshalls form began to ripple.

And Fionna jumped into the now swarming shadow of their forms.

And then everything went black.
