Beating Hearts.

It had been two days since I left the Candy Kingdom and I haven't seen anyone new at all. I had decided to head back home yesterday, after all what was I thinking? Going out into the forest like I own the place? But I knew exactly what I was thinking before I left, that it's just me, myself, and I. I shook my head and emerged from the forest to see my house a little away, beautifully built on a valley far from any stupid drama that occurred only 2 days before. The sun was just rising and sighing happily, continued to walk to my house. I thought about the last couple days, about PG, Marshall Lee, and Finn. I slapped my face and muttered to myself,

"The stupid ball!" I just kept walking to my house though, it's not like I want to be there anyways! But there was a small voice in my head that screamed over my thoughts, Liar, you wanted to go to bad it was unbearable! I ignored the small voice and reached my house, not thinking to knock I got the key out of my bag and opened the door. I opened the door to see Marshall Lee, Finn, and PG fighting, and Cake and Jake arguing. I walked inside and closed the door calmly, nobody noticed me. I walked upstairs and dropped off my backpack, walking back down I figured I would listen to what they were arguing about.

"Shut up! You're just jealous that I kissed her first!" Marshall Lee hissed angrily.

"Yah, I'm totally jealous of some idiot who thinks he's better than everyone!" Gumball retorted.

"You both are total dick-heads! Do you think kissing her is some sort of prize? Fiona isn't something to brag about, she's not an idiot! She has her own life!" Finn yelled, making Marshall Lee and PG turn and glare at him. I felt my eyes widen has I realized they were fighting about me. I was shocked and turned away to overhear Cake and Jake's fight.

"You were the one who convinced me I didn't want to!" Cake growled, her fur bristling in hostility.

"Yah and? You agreed! AND when we did you said you were enjoying it!" Jake barked back.

"What if I get pregnant from it? She'll never forgive me! She already hates me!" She unsheathed her claws and dug them in the wood in anger.

"I don't hate you, I just don't trust you." I answered her in a calm and soft voice. She turned around to hiss but she spotted me and her eyes widened. Before she could say something I turned and walked slowly to the three boys, who were going to fight any time now. Marshall Lee raised a fist to punch PG. "Excuse me?" I placed a hand on his arm and he turned around.

"What?!" He suddenly clamped his mouth closed and stared at me in shock. PG and Finn peeked out from behind Marshall and gaped at me. I turned so that I could speak to everyone.

"Fighting solves nothing, I'm sorry that I did this and I understand why you all are angry." I spoke softly and in the calmest voice I could muster. "I apologize." Cake's fur began to lie flat and she smiled at me. The boys glared at each other for a moment and sighing, apologized to each other. Jake slowly edged towards Cake and wrapped an orange arm around her, making her purr loudly. I held in a furious comment and just flashed them an icy glare. Turning back to the boys I noticed them all looking at me hopefully. "Can I help you guys?" I said in the same silky voice.

Their faces turned a deep red color and they began to look around the room awkwardly. And all three of their embarrassed gazes landed on Cake and Jake. I nodded slowly and looked over at Cake. "Can you excuse us for a moment?" they tilted their heads slightly but walked outside. "Yes?" I talked in my silky tone. They calmed down a bit and began to tell me.

"I love you Fiona" they all said at the same time. They all turned and looked at each other in shock. I blushed madly and my eyes widened.

"What?" I managed to say in an almost silky tone.

"I love you Fiona I really do, you're an amazing and wonderful girl" PG answered softly.

"You're the best girl I ever met Fiona, and I barely even know you that well. Your beautiful and I . . . I love you with all my heart." Finn replied lovingly.

"You understand me and you're everything I ever wanted in a friend, you accept me for who I am Fiona and you aren't bothered by vampires at all. I want to be more than friends now Fi' and I love you more than I can say." Marshall spoke kindly smiling slightly. I blushed as me used my pet name, Fi'. I stood and stared back at all three boys in shock. I have to make a choice, the prince of my dreams, the one who is just like me inside and out, or the best friend who has been there for me. I backed away from the three loving gazes and tried to make it to the door or something. I'm dreaming, I have to be dreaming . . . everything since 4 days ago was just a dream right? It's all just one horrible nightmare! I pinched myself to see if I was awake, I'm awake. I reached for the door and opened it, stumbling out I heard three loud gasps and three sets of feet coming towards me. I turned around to see the scariest thing I ever saw in my entire life bearing down on me. It looked down at me and smiled a horrifying grin. It grabbed me in one of its large claws and lifted me up to its face. I screamed in terror has the boys got smaller and smaller. I looked around desperately for Cake or Jake only to see them making out on the roof of the house. I screamed louder and they turned to look at me, they both screamed and stretched up to help me, but the horrible monster swiped at them with its sharp claws and stomped away. The wind whipped at my hair and I began to cry has it stomped further and further away from my home. It looked over at me and rage melted from its eyes and to my horror replaced by hunger. Not the hungry kind ether. I looked at it pleadingly, tears still streaming down my cheeks. Why did I leave my backpack in my bedroom? I'm such an idiot! If I had my ruby sword this guy's head would be chopped off! Defenseless and crying I was too distraught to speak. It carried me into a large cave and set me down softly. It looked down at me and smiled.

"You're so cute Fiona, too bad I can't do what I'm thinking of." It said to me in a gravelly voice.

"How do you know my name?" I replied, terrified.

"Oh I must introduce myself first; I'm Axis, the dragon. And I'm here to kill you anyway I want to." I stared up at it, noticing it was a boy. It was completely black with blood covering its claws and feet. It had sharp orange eyes and yellow teeth, my worst nightmare. A dragon.
