A/N: Okay guys I'm really sorry about how long it took me to get this next chapter up

Chapter 2: Broken hopes

Finn stumbled through the door to the tree house exhausted and depressed. He didn't want to do anything right now but sleep and never have to wake up. He climbed the ladder to the living area in their house when he was attacked by Jake with a wall of questions.

"How could you do that? What's wrong with you? Have you seen the news?"

"Woah what?" Finn replied.

"You're all over the news it's on every channel, here see." Jake handed him Bmo.

"Reports say that famous Finn the Human is being charged with the murder of the Flame Princess. His current whereabouts is unknown but he is now wanted in all allied kingdoms. We'll update you as the story progresses."

"See man you're in deep shit," he continued.

"Dude I didn't do it, she was dead when I got there." Finn said to Jake as he got more and more aggressive.

"Yeah try explaining that to all of Ooo royalty."

"Whatever." Finn said as he climbed the ladder to his room.

"Hey do you even realise how serious this is? Finn!"

Dang Jake is so mad, why should I even care though? Flame Princess is dead, PB thinks I killed her and so does pretty much the rest of Ooo. I've got nothing left. Finn thought to himself as he laid face down on his bed. Tears beginning to pool in his eyes.

Wham, wham someone was knocking on the front door "Open the door and come out with your hands up, we know you're in there Finn," shouted a group of banana guards.

Shit, how the fuck did they get here so quickly? I better get out of here before they catch me. Finn opened the window beside his bed and crawled out and climbed on top of his roof. He looked down and saw a large group of around ten guards trying to break down the door. Chilled winds were blowing the strands of hair into his eyes which hadn't been tucked away under his hat properly. He turned to look at a storm that had begun to form to his left when he saw the faint outline of the hill Marceline's cave was in. Well I do need somewhere to hide out and Marceline has always been a good friend to me. He jumped down off his roof as quietly as possible and ran off into the distance headed for the storm.

Finn crept through the entrance of the huge cave drenched with rain. He took off his hat and wrung some of the water out from it which pooled on the ground under his feet. Music from inside the small pink house in the centre bounced off all the craggy walls of the cave.

Finn walked up to Marceline's door and sheepishly knocked. Marceline opened the door while floating a few feet off the ground wearing tight fitting jeans that clung to her legs and a red and black plaid shirt unbuttoned halfway exposing a white undershirt .

"Oh hey Finn. Come inside what are you doing out in this horrible weather?" She asked him.

"Well it's kind of a long story," he said as he trailed watery footsteps through her hallway and lounge.

"I'll go make you a hot cup of coffee while you prepare it then," She flashed him a smile as he wandered over to her couch. Marceline floated off into her kitchen and made a coffee and a cup of strawberry juice.

"Thanks," Finn said as she passed him the steaming cup.

"So, let's hear this story then," Marceline said as she leaned in with anticipation.

"Okay well I was talking with Jake when I remembered that FP said I could go over at any time to hang out as friends. So I thought I might as well since I was bored. Then when I got to the palace some guard got all in my face and said 'I'm watching you' or something. I just ignored him and climbed up the stairs and called for her but she didn't say anything." Tears had begun to pool in Finn's eyes as he carried on with his story. "I kept going until I got to her bedroom and I called out again but there was still no-one there. I turned a corner and there she was." Tears started to stream down his face and he tried to wipe them away with his soaked hat that was still in his hand.

"Yeah she was there then what?" Marceline asked as she put her arm on Finns shoulder.

"S-She was dead." Finn burst out into tears and Marceline pulled him in for a hug. They sat there while Finn wept onto Marceline's favourite shirt.
