Chapter Three: Voices
-Bane's POV-
"Bane, don't go please! Bane, come back!" That's her voice... Bonnie's voice! She's calling to me. She needs me. I need her. I have to go to her... I have to-
"BONNIE!"
I leapt up out of a deep sleep, connecting with my small tent and tripping clumsily all over my camp. When I finally managed to extricate myself from the folds of my now torn and tattered tent, I looked down sheepishly at my campsite.
Nice going, Bane Hemlock. Had a bad dream, did you? You messed up the entire camp, you idiot.
"Well," I sighed. "No need to cover up the campsite now; anyone who sees it will assume it was attacked by a hungry bear." Really, I had made quite a mess. Whatever I had been dreaming about must have really messed me up.
I tried to remember what it was. What had I been dreaming of? I had shouted something as I woke up... Now, what was it...? I sat down and willed myself to remember. After but a moment of deep, anguished thought it all came back to me.
"Bane, don't go please! Bane, come back!"
I heard it again, and again I leapt to my feet.
"Bonnie!?" I whirled around, searching the area. Of course, not a soul was in sight. But I hadn't just been hearing things... I wasn't crazy!
"Bane... I need you... Please, come back..."
There it is again! I thought, It's coming from the east... From the mountains... Bonnie's voice...
Something deep inside me told me to go to her, she needed me. I had left her.
No, she banished you.
She had no choice!
You don't belong together. You'll only hurt her!
You would never hurt her.
At least not on purpose. But you would hurt her...
Bane, you have to-
"GET A GRIP, HEMLOCK!" I screamed at myself, wanting nothing but silence- the voices in my head were much too loud... Yes, I heard voices in my head. Was that normal? I didn't know. I had heard them forever... Maybe I am crazy, I thought.
"Bane... Come back... I need you... Please..."
I looked to the east, where the sun was rising through clouds of gold and silver. Bonnie was calling me. My love. My princess.
In that moment I made a decision that would change our lives forever.
"Bane..."
Her voice called to me, louder than any of the other voices, more alluring, more special, more important. I had to go to her. Because if she needs me, I thought, Glob knows I need her.
"I'm coming, Bonnie." And I took that first step. If only I knew what I was getting myself into.
Hey, guys! Sorry it took so long getting this chapter up. I promise I will try to update at least once a week from now on.
Anyway, I hope you're liking what you're reading... I haven't had many reviews for this story... So I don't know what to change, or what to add... I would really like some input and suggestions :)
I can't wait to write the next chapter. It involves a particular old friend of Finn and Jake... Can you guess who it is? I'm sure you've guessed that the mysterious voice of Bonnie Bubblegum isn't really her. So who is it? You tell me. Maybe one of your suggestions will be better than my own fabulous idea.
Thanks for reading! Please review :) And stay tuned for the next chapter!
