You know we can get away

Alone In his castle of Ice, The ice king sat in his throne room eye's peered straight forward burning a hole into a certain picture. It saddened and angered him at the same time. Gritting his teeth he stood up from his throne and walked towards the picture and as he got close to it, the sadness grew; it chewed at him in the pits of his soul. Knawing at his very mind, until he finally reached the photo. It had dust on its frame, signifying it had been there for quite some time. He picked it up gently swiping across the glass frame, removing any traces of dust on it and stared into the picture. The photo of his family. The one of two humans and a magical dog…no of two sons and a daughter. The family he failed.

Because I'm calling your name

" Damn it " he whispered sadly as the events of that day started to replay in his mind causing him to crash down to the floor and weep, still clutching the picture in his hands as he went into sobbing rest.

(Flashback)

"Finn, Marceline!" Shouted Simon as he and Jake were looking for their other companions. Jake looked at Simon, "Maybe there doing…the forbidden Tier-""Don't say it! "Simon said cutting off Jake's previous statement. Jake laughed before grabbing Simons hand and stretching a bit bigger to give them more coverage of the area. It took them a couple minutes but when they got close to 'Marcy's' lake as dubbed by Finn, They spotted them both.

"Come one let's shrink down and sneak on them "Jake said cheekily pulling out a camera, Simon just chuckled and followed behind him and after five minutes of walking they arrived to see Marceline and Finn lying together on the ground both in blissful peace as they held each other and watched over the lake. Jake watched them with his camera out and giggled "Blackmail! "He said before Simon slapped him over the head, "What have I told you about blackmailing your brother and sister?" Simon whispered which cause Jake to look at him quizzically. He narrowed his eyes and open his mouth to retort, but closed it. He then put his hand to his chin and rubbed it like he was solving a question. The light bulb turned on!

"Always make sure you get a piece of the reward?" He said and Simon smiled before fist bumping his son. "Good Boy!" They then turned back to capture more footage of the romantic moment but were shocked to see they weren't there anymore. They both looked at each other before feeling a presence behind them. They both gulped and turned around only to meet a bucket full of water, drenching them all over, and in the process scaring them. All they could hear after that was the sound of two people's laughter and after a minute both Jake and Simon joined in laughing as well.

"That will teach you to drop in on us! " The feminine voice stated earning a nod from the male next to her. Simon just laughed again "Were sorry sis" he heard Jake say before he too apologized, which earned a chuckle from the male, "Apology accepted" he said before holding his hand out to him offering him to take it "now rise up pops we got walking to do" Simon smiled and grabbed his 'sons' hand.

"Thanks Finn"

(Flashback end)

Every day I feel this pain

But you just turn around and walk away

Noooo

The Ice king awoke from his painful slumber as he had recalled event's from his past. These memories that would constantly give him the illusion of happiness he had and then washes over him with the harsh reality of all he has lost. His family was broken, split up from each other now. The Ice King wailed in sorrow and started to pound on the floor in anger. Punch after punch. His rage growing as cracks began to form under his knuckles and with one sorrowful roar he made a final punch. A sickening crack was heard but he did not care. He stood up and look towards his throne. Hanging on the side was his crown. He walked towards it and put it on his head before looking outside into the darkness. He sighed as he saw Marcy's Lake. He turned away and started heading for the door. He needed to visit the lake again, like he has done so for the past Nine-Hundred years.

He arrived to the lake. It was silent. The moon was reflecting itself over the calm crystal clear water. It surprised him to no end as to how the water wasn't murky or contaminated like other lakes were after the great bombs went off. He didn't know how Finn did it, but with Finn you could never expect the unexpected. He walked to the lake side and just stared out into the lake waters. Finn would have enjoyed seeing the lake again. He sighed before looking away to the side as he caught a glimpse of an object on standing up from the ground. He walked over to it, already knowing fully well what it was. Finns demon sword. The sword stood proud and there was a calm aura surrounding it. The sword felt as if it was waiting for its owner to return to it once again. The blade held no cracks and there was no sign of rust even after the amount of time has passed. A true warrior's sword it was. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way...yet for some sick reason it all happened. Ice King sighed and walked away from the blade sitting down to a spot on the lake shore where the moon and the lake horizon meet. Ice King lay on the ground and with a sigh closed his eyes and let the sound of the water swaying on the surface guide him to a peaceful slumber.

Until…

"Wenk"

Ice King opened his eyes and was met with his penguin friend Gunter, "Gunter why aren't you at the castle?" Questioned the King of Ice and Gunter just looked at him, "Wenk" Plush penguin said and Ice king smiled…the penguin was worried about him how nice. Ice king motioned Gunter to his side and the penguin looked at him for a second before wobbling over to his master's side and with a small plop sat down in the grass looking out towards the horizon. Ice King then returned to his laid back position and Gunter soon followed suit and they both allowed the lake to make them drift into slumber.

I just can't keep hanging on

(Dream)

In a grassy plain as the sun shown greatly standing next to an old rickety tree Simon remained. He looked around and saw that next to him were Marceline and Jake who were both smiling at him and moved ahead of him but not before grabbing both his arms they started to drag him somewhere. "Jake Marcy" spoke Simon wanting to know where on earth they were taking him but he got no answer as they both laughed at him and continued dragging him along. "Come on guy's I don't like surprises" Simon said as he laughed, he had never felt so free…so at peace then now. "Oh come on pops were not going to let you ruin the surprise" Jake said and Marceline giggled, "Besides were here" Simon looked out but with the sun blaring his field of view was limited, "Here where? Haha" Simon chuckled "with this sun blocking my eyesight I can barely see" he said which earned a chuckle from both Jake and Marceline. That is until he felt a paw on one-side of his face and a warm hand on the other side of his face guide him to view a hill and as the sun began to set Simon was able to see more clearly of someone on top of the hill. Simon's eyes grew wide his mouth ajar as the figure looked down on all of them. He then heard Marceline and Jake laugh as they both ran up the hill to the figure. Simon gulped and he too then started his trek up the hill. It took him a minute but as soon as he got close he felt tears come to his eyes. Blonde hair, bear hat, the demon sword clutched tightly to his back, and his smiling grin. It was Finn. His 'Son' the boy he met years ago when Marceline was his age! He was back! Their family was whole again! He saw Finn and Marceline hug and give each other a long kiss and he then saw Jake jump on Finns shoulders giving him hugs before Finns eye's rested on Simon and another sincere smile came before extending his arms out signifying a hug, "Come on pops" Finn said, his voice brought joy to Simons ears! Simon broke out into a fast walk and was closing the gap on getting this ever-lasting peace and as contact was made. Finn turned to snow.

With you and me

Simon shocked stop in his place as the spot where Finn stood was now a pile of snow. He looked at his hand to see the snow still there. He looked around to see Marceline and Jake but Jake was nowhere to be seen and Marceline she fell to her knees crying as she looked down at the locket Jake had given her was slightly covered in blood. Simon felt the tears coming to his eyes as he then looked around the land scape. Gone were the grassy sunny plains, now all that there is, is a burnt landscape with snow falling down. Simon looked back to Marceline but to his shock she too had vanished. Simon then saw the pile of snow that Finn used to be blow in the wind before it started to circle around Simon, almost as if it was possessed by an evil entity, it started to cover Simon turning his skin blue until it fully covered his body. Simon sank to his knees as the full impact of reality came in on him. Tear's escaping his eyes as he looked down at his hands. There in his right was the locket Marceline had holding the picture of him, her, Finn and Jake and in his right was the picture he had given to Marceline on her birthday. Sorrow engulfed him completely as he closed his eyes, desperately trying to wish away this horrible nightmare, but to no avail, the nightmare only spoke the coldest of truths now and there was no use of fighting it.

With you and…

Rage started to quell up in Simon as he started to grasp both the locket and the picture. He closed his eyes tightly as the anger just kept growing. He opened his eyes and looked around, he was breathing heavily like a rapid animal. The pain of loss becoming too much even if it wasn't real as the world around him moved on forward he was stuck in the past. The past full of pain. Thunder had sounded off signifying that mother-nature seemed to feel his pain and that this was her way of letting him know. Simon then looked towards the sky and with one big breath. He screamed.

(Nightmare end)

Simon awoke from his slumber waking his pet companion Gunter in the process too. Simon breathed heavily and was sweating like he was melting, "Another nightmare" he sighed before looking around the moon no longer their now being replaced by the rising sun. Simon got up from the ground dusted off his clothes, Gunter followed suit "Wenk" the penguin said and Simon looked down a sad sigh escaping his lips before motioning to the penguin to come to his arms. Gunter jumped in happily "Wenk" his approval Simon smiled before hugging the penguin and burrowing his face in its fur. "Wenk?" Gunter spoke in a sad tone, but Simon just didn't say anything as he started walking back towards the Castle, but not before taking one more solemn glance at the demon blade. The aura around it felt more violent and angry. It was like it was yelling at Simon's soul saying "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT" and he agreed.

It was.
