The cold night air was like a knife to my lungs as I ran, but I had more pressing matters to deal with. The Ice Queen flew behind me in chase, whipping ice shards. A snowstorm was blowing in the Ice Kingdom making it almost impossible to see forwards. The Ice Queens cackle echoed through the snow.
"This is so not math!" I mumbled to myself as I dodged an ice shard. Getting fed up I whipped around and decided to face her highness. I raised my sword high as the Ice Queen aproached. She floated about 12 feet above my head, way out of swinging reach.
"Not much use without your kitty-kat, are you?" she sneered, her bony old hand crackling with magic. Damn her.
"Oh yea?" I retorted, "I'm Fionna the Human! I could beat you with a spaghetti noodle!" I laughed. Unfortunately, it was mostly bravo by this point. I had managed to free Muscle Prince from Ice Queen's castle but my escape had been so far unsuccessful without Cake. Have kids really changed ones priorities, so I was on my own tonight.
The Ice Queen screeched and flung a giant I ball down in an attempt to crush me. I dive rolled out of the way and raised my sword in time to block more ice shards. I winced as a couple sliced my skin and ripped my clothes.
"Ha!" I yelled then gasped as she dived me spraying an arc of ice. I dove into the snow and lost my bunny hood in the process. Pushing my long blond hair out of my face, I tried to get up to make my not-so-grand escape, but couldn't because my one leg had be frozen solid. Here I was, freezing my ass off in this bloody storm without Cake because I had to be a hero, and with Ice Queen leering over me I was probably gonna pay for it bad. I swung my sword back in forth as a last attempt to wave her off when I saw her eyes look over and behind me and her already pale face go whiter then the snow. Then, a giant bat flew over me in a whirl of snow, right at the Ice Queen. She shrieked and flew for her life. When she had vanished into the night, the bat circled around and landed beside me. The monstrous bat then morphed into a young boy with red eyes and raven hair, Marshall Lee.
"Glob its freezing!" he said trying to shake snow from his hair. "Imagine how I feel" I retorted now soaking wet from laying in the snow. I tried to roll around onto my back to see him better but the ice on my leg was making it tough. He sighed then kneeled to examine my leg.
"Sorry Fi, looks like we're going to have to amputate it" joked Marshall, "too bad I left my axe guitar at home or I could have done it here".
"You are not chopping off my leg" I said and tried to stand. At this, Marshall made a huffing noise and slid his arms under me. My leg felt super heavy swinging like that but it was better to be off the cold ground. "Come on, it's time for little humans to go home" said Marshall as he lifted into the air. I stuck my tongue out at him and then brought it back because it was damn cold.
