Chapter 1.

"Finn. Finn! Finn!" I felt my body shake violently as those word reached my ears. I opened my eyes to see my brother jake shaking me, calling my name.
"What is it man?" I muttered sleepily as he dropped me realizing I had woken up. He started to stretch his arms to the closet grabbing my clothes slipping them onto me.
"Come on bro. You're gonna be late for your date with FP." He pulled me down into the kitchen where food was already prepared. At this point I was wide awake, shoving food down my throat. The flame princess, or catherine which was her real name, and I had been dating for over a year now. I was now fifteen years old, and Cathy was fourteen.
It only took me moments to down the food on the table before I was out the door. "Wish me luck!" I shouted as I started to sprint towards FP's house. She was the best thing to ever happen to me.
Jake, my magical dog and adoptive brother, found her for me when I was depressed about princess bubblegum. Heck, I thought I was in love with her. That was, until Flame princess came into my life. All the feelings I had for PB had seemed like some kind of puppy love compared to how I felt when I was with Cathy. The only problem is that everyone thinks she is evil, but she isn't, she's just misunderstood. Just passionate.
There was something about today, it just felt right. For once everything was perfect, no random trolls, or goblins, or stupid lichs messing things up. It was just peaceful.
Just thinking about her, it made me feel like I was suffocating. I could see the cliff where we made her house coming into view.

"Finn!" I heard her call. She was sitting on the ledge above the water, where I told her she shouldn't sit, so many times.

"Cathy!" I ran into her arms, feeling the familiar burns of fire overtaking my arms, but I could take it. I may have forgot to mention it before, but she is a fire elemental. She pulled back from our embrace only to peck me on the cheek.

"Come on finn." She said tugging on my sleeve playfully. I followed her as she tugged me over to the cliff sitting down on it's edge. "Look." she said pointing towards the water far below.

"What is it?"

"Have you ever wondered whether there is more out there?"

"Huh?"

"Take the water for example, what if there was more to the reflection then what there seems to be?"

"I don't know, I guess we won't find out any time soon." I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

She stood up facing the water. "Finn we've been together for more than a year, I feel I have to ask you something."

"Well what is it Catherine?"

"Do you love me?"

"Of course I do. Why would I be with you if I didn't?" Instead of answering me she fell forward off the cliff. "FP!" I jumped after her pulling her into my embrace. I closed my eyes ready for anything.

When I reopened my eyes we were on the cliff again, with her ontop of me. "You do." That is what she said to me.

I looked into her eyes, "Why did you do that?"

"To see if you would follow me, even if it meant you might die. To see if you loved me." She seemed relieved, yet sorrowful. We couldn't even kiss because her elemental matrix was unstable.

We laid there for a few moments not sure what to do. She did something totally unexpected. She kissed me, but rolled us into a pool of water that was a few feet away from us. She pulled back from the kiss as the water evaporated cooling her, but she was in great pain.

"Cathy, are you ok?"

"Better than ok, I'm happy. I was able to kiss you, even if I did have to go through pain to do it." I was stunned. I was used to being the one who had to go through pain in this relationship I didn't like the fact that she had to be hurt.

But before I could protest to her about doing that, we heard a loud crash from the forest just north of her house. "Huraghh!" It sounded like the shout of some sort of beastly creature.

"Take That!" Another.. human sounding voice had roared.

"Stay here Catherine, I gotta check this out." I said drawing my demon blood sword about to chase after the sense of adventure.

"I'm coming with you." She stated right as I was about to turn and dash for the woods.

"No, you need to stay here and be safe-"

"Finn, I can take care of myself!" She snapped at me, but I knew it was no use arguing with her.

"Fine."

"Yay!" She yelped as if she were a little child. She was always doing cute things like that.

"Lets go." and we started to sprint towards the woods where the sound of combat grew louder every step we took. As we came into a clearing, we saw a demonic beast swinging at another humanoid who was wielding a knife clothed in a wolf's pelt. Probably another hyoomen roaming the grassland.

"Bring it beast!" The hyoomen commanded of the beast. He was quite articulate in speaking english.

"Come on finn, let's help him." Said FP as she charged up a fireball in her hands.

"Let's." We charged at the creature just as he swung at the hyoomen, knocking of his wolf pelt hat off, revealing short, scruffy black hair, with blonde roots. He slashed at the monster's arm forcing it to gush blood.

"Take this you rhombus!" I shouted as I brought my sword down on it's shoulder, wounding it. Yet It grabbed me about to crush me, but before it could Cathy blasted it with a humongous fireball knocking it a good twenty feet away. I jumped after him impaling it's skull with my sword. I pulled my sword out of it's body and walked back over to the two.

"That was Fun!" FP said as she ran over to me, latching her arms around my neck. I stabbed my blade into the ground so I could return the embrace.

"Yeah, don't you both hurry to my side to help me up now!" I heard the other voice call to me. I turned to see the, human I guess stumble to his feet.

"Don't worry I got you." Cathy said as she dashed over to his side. I was curious about the other human. If he was another human I guess that would mean I would lose my awesome title 'Finn the human'. Oh well.

"Hey buddy did you hear me?" Suddenly I Snapped back to reality seeing that the other human across from me was looking at me strangely. "You zoned out a bit there, I said I'm a human, I go by the name Darick."

"Oh yeah sorry, but are there anymore humans?" I asked with anticipation rasp in my voice.

"Ehh, here and there, but I'm one of the last of my clan." I was curious.

"Well who else in your tribe is alive?" Looking at him, studying all of his features, one could say that we were brothers.

"Well... You."

I looked at him, eyes darn near bulging out of my head. "Like, for realsies?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure we are brothers. It's just-" He stopped as a grim look washed over his face. "Watch out." He threw me to the side raising his knife to protect himself. The monster was still alive, but something was different. HIs left arm was jagged like a blade, and the other blunt like a hammer.

The creature brought down his blade arm down at Darick a few times each parried, but the he slammed his body with his hammer arm. "Darick!" Instantly the monster turned towards FP. My sword was too far to my left, I could go for it, But I knew that if I did Cathy died. There was only one option left.
"Cathy!" She was standing there in fright as the beast brought back his blade arm to spear her. I had no time to do anything, so I just leapt between them. A second later I felt a piercing pain which quickly faded, becoming some weird fuzzy feeling I looked up just in time to see it bring it's hammer arm into my body knocking me away from it's bladed arm. As me and the blade separated, I felt blood flow from my body spilling on the landscape around me.
"Finn!" I heard cathy screech. Then I saw the beast body thrown past me being roasted into nothingness. That was the last thing I saw before I had slipped out of it.
Of course I sacrificed myself for her. Not because I was a hero, no. It's because I care alot about her. She was the only person That I would ever do that for... well except for one other person. Marceline. She was a radical dame that he had so much in common with. She was a vampire, with long flowing black hair that usually was the length of her body.
I would have followed her to the ends of the earth if it would make her happy, I just hated to see her sad. I would walk down any road with her, that is if she would have let me. I haven't even seen marcy since that experience that we had in the nightosphere, over a year and a half ago, she just seemed to disappear.
Why all the sudden thoughts about marcy? I thought I could hear her voice, crying, and sorrowful. Marcy never cried. I tried to open my eyes but they wouldn't open, it was like I was too weak to open them. Yet her voice became more clear.
"Please, finn. I miss you, everyone misses you. It's just been so long since I could hear your voice, your killer laugh, heck even your awesome pranks. Heck I'm not even sure If you could hear me." She said choking up. "But please wake up, we all miss you...I miss you hero."
How long had I been out, and she had been crying over me, maybe... My thoughts were interrupted as I felt tears rain down onto my arm as I felt her squeeze my hand tightly. I was, slowly, able to open my eyes. Marcy seemed to have more color in her skin than usual, almost as if she were human. I moved my hand to her face to comfort her. "It's ok Marcy." Saying that took up almost all of my strength and then I felt like I was slipping away again.
Marcy looked at me with shock on her face, but a happy kind. "Doctor!" A...human in a white coat walked in.
"What is it?" He asked concerned.
"It's finn, he just woke up." I couldn't hold onto reality and I started to slip away, not sure what to believe.
