She smelled of sickening bubble gum and flowers. Her hair the ugliest shade of Pepto Bismol, as she glided down the hallway hand in hand with him. If only her hair were a darker shade of pink, one more like crimson red.
" Marceline! Yo Marceline!"
"Yes Finn.."
" Me and PB are going exploring in the crystal cave for plantoids and stuff, we're gonna kick some science butt. Wanna come?"
Bubblegum's eyes pierced my undead skin before I could open my mouth to respond. If I weren't floating off the ground I probably would have shifted my weight nervously. Something about her seemed possessed, demonic, evil. Her light girly self was a masquerade of her sadistic nature. I knew it.
" No Finn!" Bubblegum shot, " I mean err we wouldn't want Marcey to scare away the plantoids. We wouldn't be able to capture any specimens with her around…"
" What are you talking about? Marceline is da bomb!"
"Finn!" This time she grabbed him by the arm. His skin reddened with her grip.
" Its fine Finn…" I floated away, averting my gaze from her forms of torture.
Days passed as I lay in bed, abandoned love songs crumpled and sprawled around me like a sea of marshmallows. That was the last I saw of Finn, for a while. I was sure that was the last I'd see of anyone. I was wrong. A faint shuffling and heavy breathing filled my ears. Armed with my broom, I floated towards my closet. I thought I heard my heart speed up, a heart I didn't have, as I swung open the closet doors.
" DON'T KILL ME!"
" Jake? What the… Why the hell are you in my closet?"
" Okay if you're gonna kill me just make it fast…"
" Jake!"
"… I never wanted a painful death…"
" JAKE!"
" ...Just a peaceful one…"
" Jake I'm not going to kill you!"
" Oh that's cool. Thanks bro!"
" Why are you here?" A shiver ran up my spine. The fear that filled my body was one I had never felt before.
" Marceline, Finn is dead."
