"Hey weirdo!" I heard my name being called. It was Marceline, my now loving girlfriend. Our relationship had ups and downs but all coupled went through that phase right?
"What do you want, Marceline?" I asked her. Years have past and I have now grown taller than her. I'm 19 now and poor Marcy is still stuck in her eighteen thousands.
"You said that we're going to the caves, Finny Boy! Have you already forgotten? Oh wait, I forgot that you're brain is now old!" She teased me. She started to call me Finny Boy when one of Jake's great grandchildren called me that. Oh, and she started with the old jokes when I turned 19.
"No I have not forgotten and my brain is still very young unlike your eighteen thousand and god knows what year old brain!" I cried out. A smirk grew on Marcy's face and she flew to me.
"Did you just call my super wacky and childish and fun-loving brain old?! This brain is gonna give you a piece of its mind!" She shouted trying to sound angry but totally failing because she was half laughing and the fact that she was smiling when she said it.
"Hahaha… Let's go," I smiled grabbing my bag and my sword. Marcy took her hat off the hat rack and flew out with her axe bass. "Hey! Wait for meee!" I cried when I saw that Marceline was almost out of my field of sight.
"Slowpoke!" Marcy laughed flying even faster. She's so going to rub my sore feet when we get back home!
"Ooh! This place is creepy! I like it!" Marceline said. Marcy sure loves creepy and scary things. "This is like the cave but a million times creepier! Wait, no… A BAJILION TIMES!"
"SHHH! You'll put the monsters on alert!" I hushed her loud mouth. This cave was said to be the remains of a fallen dungeon filled with beasts that only the greatest heroes can beat and I DID NOT want to get my butt kicked immediately.
"Said the person who hushed me loudly…" Marceline said softly but not soft enough for me not to hear plus, her voice seemed louder because the area is enclosed.
"I heard that!" I looked at her who just rolled her eyes.
"Hm… Let's see if I care… NOPE!" Marcy said once again loudly.
Red glowing eyes surrounded us. There was one pair of eyes that stood out. It was white. Then, we heard a voice. "Adventurers still dare to enter my cave… They never learn…" The voice said.
"Come out so I can kick your buns!" Marceline taunted. The white pair of eyes moved closer. My torch was our only source of light and it being blown out could mean something bad.
"Ooh! Such bravery packed in such small girl! Hmm… Let's have some fun shall we?" The voice spoke.
"Are you calling me small, coward?" Marceline bellowed starting to get angry and you do NOT want to make Marceline angry. I got to stop this!
"MARCELINE STOP!" I cried out. Marceline's eyes and the white eyes turned to me.
"Your friend here intruded our little… fight. Well, I'll meet you again Marceline and make sure this ugly thing isn't with you… GOODBYE!" The white eyes vanished and so did the red eyes but Marceline's anger didn't. In fact, she was even angrier. Marceline might be a bit mean sometimes but she's really protective.
"Wha-What was that for?!" Marceline asked me angrily, her blood boiling with anger.
"What?! I stopped the fight!" I was confused of her reactions. Why was she acting like this.
"He called me small and you an ugly thing so he needs to pay! I could have… Urgh!" She cried out before storming away.
I heaved a sigh and lied down on the floor of the cave. Man, Marcy's hard to understand sometimes like seriously. Running after her will just make her even mad. I don't know why she'll be mad if I did that! That girl just needs to cool down and I need to give her some space.
I shut my eyes and went into light sleep.
"Aaaah!" I was woken up by a bloodcurdling scream. It sounded like Marcy's. I followed the voice and was led into a large room. Marceline was in the middle of the room lying on the floor unconscious with a black shadowy monster beside her. It was a soul sucker!
"Get. Away!" I screamed grabbing my sword. I charged towards the monster and tried to slice it. The monster dodged it and hissed before disappearing.
I went to Marceline and she was paler. Luckily, I stopped the soul sucker from sucking her soul completely. I don't know much about the effects of being partially soul sucked but I know that it's least scary effect is just exhaustion. I carried Marceline bridal style out of the cave and to PB's.
"PB! PB! PB!" I cried panicking. Marceline was getting colder by the minute! PB saw me and Marceline and rushed to us.
"What happened to Marceline? Finn, talk to me!" PB cried in horror.
"She's been partially soul sucked!" I explained.
"Get her to the hospital, QUICK!" PB ordered.
PB and I made a beeline to the hospital where Marceline was taken to a room where she was treated. I'm so scared…
"I never knew you had a room specialized for cursed patients!" I told PB. She looked at me trying to shake her nervousness off.
"Well, ever since Ice King became a threat to my eternal kingdom, I told my candy builders to make this room." PB explained. I nodded my head. That sure made sense.
A weird looking woman came out of the room Marceline was in and she didn't have such a bright look on her face. "I'm afraid Marceline has fallen in a coma, we will try our best to pull her out of it tomorrow." The woman spoke, "Now, Marceline has been soul sucked partially. She might experience exhaustion, vomiting and headaches when she wakes up. She also might have lost her memories."
I can't believe it…
I sat alone in the living room of my house in a headache. My eyes are red from crying and I don't know what to do. The last thing we did was… fight. The last thing I ever did to her before the accident was fight! Wow Finn! You're such a good boyfriend, NOT!
She'll be better without me wouldn't she? Yeah! She'll have a boyfriend who'll give her what she deserves! Yeah! She would feel no more pain. I won't hurt her anymore. I won't put her into any danger anymore…
They didn't manage to pull Marcy out of the coma. That's okay. She'll be transferred to another hospital tomorrow. She'll leave all the pain behind. I've contacted everyone Marcy was close about her condition and that she'll be transferred to another kingdom's hospital.
I'll miss her… but it's for the best, right? I'll just drink some root beer to forget the pain… That's all I can do…
The door bell rang.
"Finn?" A familiar voice spoke. It was my brother, Jake. He uninvitingly opened the door and walked towards me. He knelt down beside me and patted my back.
I was curled up into a ball pouring my heart out so I didn't find it surprising that he did that. I feel so weak… "You okay Finn?" He asked me.
I shook my head. I want to be honest to my brother. "Why are you shipping Marcy away?" He blurted out.
"Because she's better without me!" I cried before breaking down into tears again, "I… wasn't… good… enough… for her… and… that's why she's in… the condition… she's in!" I sobbed. Guilt is one of the worst feelings a creature can ever feel…
"Finn! Don't ever think of that way!" Jake yelled grabbing my shoulders and shaking me.
"But it's the truth!" I shouted back, pushing his paws away from me.
"I'm here to help you and you can't be helped if you won't let yourself be!" Jake barked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Look, I didn't want you here nor did I want your help so can you jolly well get out and leave me ALONE!" I "bit his head off". I was so angry at myself and I put it on my brother. DAMN IT FINN! CAN YOU DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE?!
"If that's what you want…" Jake stood up from his position and stomped out of my house.
"Wait… I'm sorry…" My voice trailed off. "I was just so… scared…" I murmured before curling into a ball again and cry. I just want to end all the misery, all my misery… And I know one fast and easy way…
TO BE CONTINUED.
Is Marceline still OOC? Graghh! =(
