I hope you guys like the first chapter. I'm kinda writing blind here. I mean I do have a plot. But it's not really detailed. It might take me longer to write this. Read and review.
Chapter 2 (Forever and always)
Blair's pov.
I slammed the front door shut, ran past the fireplace and into my bedroom. The hollowed out wood was loud. As tiny sounds rustled through the house. I clutched onto my pillow. It was my rock. It kept me from floating away to oblivion. I finally calmed myself enough to sit up in the dark room. I forgot to turn on the lights. It was lonely here. No Phoenix or anybody else really. Only the pictures keeping me company.
I forced myself to get up. Giving myself simple commands. You have to eat now Blair, you have to drink now Blair. I was digging under my bed for a spare pair of socks, when my fingers touched smooth wood. I pulled at it, to find the box, they have me last year. "We think you should have this, it's time." After receiving it, I didn't really give it much thought. The wood was cold, calming. Reminding me of where I was. Why I was still here, what I promised to my now dead parents.
I opened the box slowly, my fingers touching the rough carvings on the wooden lid. A few papers sat there with a large volume. I pulled the papers out first. A song to be sung... I put it down, and grabbed a second one, the papers dug slightly at my memory. I've heard of these things but where? The portal... I grabbed the book and set it on the ground. On the front cover was a large circle and a lit touch blazing brightly. I touched the soft velvety cover. I opened up the book. There were words carved into the back of the cover. We would not need light without darkness. Thus, the scarf that covers thy eyes. Raven Death."
I squint at the name, the name was familiar too. I fingered the carving. I picked the letter up. The letter, unlike the other contents of the box. Was new. Crinkled on the edges, but in a fine condition. I ripped it open. Writing paper drifted onto my lap. I picked the paper up softly. Soft markings of writing imprinted on the paper felt rough on my fingers. My eyes scan the paper. The words were written in dad's print. With dark blue ink.
Blair,
Your mother and I have been thinking. And we think its time to tell you. You're old enough to understand the effects of something powerful not used in the right hands can make. You know, what the Lich did. And the Ice Queen. First of all, if you're reading this. We must be dead. it's funny! how I'm thinking about our death. I really hope you'll cope. I know you'll be the best daughter we'll ever have. Our only daughter too! The portal, we have lady the spell and the potion for the portal. Say hi to Fi for me, ok?
Blair, be careful. In this world, there are... Some people you just can't trust. Don't trust anyone, except for your brother. And even then, be cautious. Protect him. I know you'll be a great sister. Be his protector when he doesn't have one. Goodbye, we'll see you again someday!
Yours,
Finn and Flame princess.
I gripped the paper tighter in my hands. The portal.. The portal! I dug through the box. Until I found the spell. I threw the paper back into the box when I found it. I don't need it. And I'm not using it. I'm not ready. I slammed the lid on the box and slid it back under the bed, panting. My heart was beating at an alarming rate. I backed out if the room and ran into the kitchen. Determined never to touch the wretched box ever again.
Sollux's pov.
I didn't know how I felt. I wasn't the one crying in the corner. That was my father. And I don't think mom was so happy with about it. Soph didn't look that ok either. "Sol, what am I going to do... First, dad. Now mom..." It did make sense, her mom was dead. She held onto me as she cried. I didn't know what to do. Fionna's body was already cremated. We don't have a body. The shuddering of Soph's body had already stopped. "You alright?" I asked her. I ran a hand through her damp hair. "Soph?" I asked softly. "Yeah... I'm alright." She turned and faced me. Her eyes glistened with her tears. I looked back. "Thanks."" Why?" I asked. Raising my eyebrows trying my hardest to smile. She laughed a little. "For being here." I smiled. "I'll be right here as long as you need me."" Always?"" Forever and always..."
Marshall's pov.
I looked silently at my son. Falling victim to the same spell I fell slavery too. To love. His promise to Sophie made me angry. When I promised the same thing. It would only lead him to an oblivion called hell. "Sollux." I growled. He turned to face me. He grimaced. Pointing at Sophie. I glared back at him. "Sollux, come." He dropped his gaze and patted Sophie on the back and sent her back. "What the blip blop dad?!" He demanded at me." That promise of yours. Not gonna work."" What do you mean?!" He screamed. Standing his ground. "She's half human you insufferable fool!" I cried. "You've never been the judgemental type. Sides, listen to the old man. You fell in love with her mother. She was human. You expect me to... Oh, I don't know care if she's human. I know she'll die. Just by looking at you." I sighed into my hands. "You don't know what you're getting her and you into. Do you?"" I know I'm falling in love." He said softly. Looking at me straight in the eye. "She has to be the one."" You're young... You don't know no nothing." I screamed at him. "I lost her. I don't want that for you. You can't promise her forever there is NO FOREVER!" He looked at me for a minute. His eyes deep blue looking at my crimson ones. "Your pathetic." He said softly and ran. Run, yeah, run what I did.
He was defiantly my son... I looked back into the sky, the moon as gone. The sky dark only the stars to light it up. A new moon. Glob was right, time for a change. You said you would come back Fionna. You promised. "You came back alright, in few hundred pieces." I muttered and slammed the trunk of a tree near my house. Marceline was gone for a week. No comfort there. What is the point of immortality when you can't even enjoy it.
(Flashback)
"Fio?"" What?"" Careful." "Sure dude." She smiled at me. I smiled back. She was back visiting for a few days. To keep Simone in check. I laughed a little as I walk back into my house. I didn't know what would happen later that day. No.
I was running. Running as fast as I could to get to the forbidden forest. "Fionna! Fionna where are you?"" Here..." her voice called weakly." Fionna!"" Marshall..." She was laying in the green grass stained red with her blood. Her forehead was bleeding profusely. Her eyes were half closed. Her bunny hat a dark pink. She smiled a little when she saw me. "Marshall."" Fi?"" Stay.."" Forever and always."" I love you."" I love you too."
I love you. Such measly words. They don't mean a thing now. Nothing. I punched the tree trunk one more time before walking back to the house. "Nothing." I muttered.
