Chapter 4: Whispers

The Next Day in the Candy Kingdom

Princess Bubblegum was sitting in her room with an accomplished feeling, knowing that Finn the Human was sent to his death. Even though she hasn't slept in a few days, she prepares for the tasks ahead. She got a bath, put on her dress, with her 4 inch dagger strapped to her thigh for protection. She then decides to head to her lab to work on the anti-aging formula. Upon entering her lab she grabs her white coat and approaches the blackboard that contains the equation for the elixir. Thinking it over she hears the whisper that has been there ever since the Lich possessed her a couple years back.

She speaks to herself.

Pb: It needs more carbon, but are you sure the boy is dead? He is stronger than you think and you know this. He's obnoxiously resilient.

Pb: Hmm, more carbon would add a small bit of stability and yes he may be strong but he's not too bright and besides, Hunson is much stronger.

Pb: If you say so, but something feels off. I'd be prepared.

Pb: I'm always prepared.

Meanwhile, in the Castle of Hunson Abadeer...

Finn and Hunson have just eaten the largest sandwiches ever created. After their glorious meal, they began viewing pictures of a young Marceline. Hunson thinks his 'little drop of darkness' is vastly amusing. Finn isn't sure what to think.

After the impromptu 'catching up' Hunson opens the portal right to the Candy Kingdom. Finn thanks Hunson and steps through. On the other side of the portal, Finn stands in front of the Candy Kingdom. It seems to be morning and he can't believe that time is either slowed in the Night-o-sphere or he was there for that long. Without even knowing he was walking to the city's gates, a banana guard snapped him out of his reverie.

BG: Hey Finn.

F: Hey, can I get in to see the princess?

BG: Sure thing.

As Finn enters the city, he notices that everything seems like it usually does. Starchy was walking around being his goofy self, the marshmallow kids were bouncing around playing tag, and the Gumball Guardians were blowing their giant bubbles. He then makes his way to the castle and knocks. Of course the assistant of Pb answers the door.

F: Hey Peppermint Butler, is Peebles in?

PepB: Yes Master Finn, she's in her lab, feel free to just walk in.

F: Thanks

Finn begins his walk to the lab and hopes that this fake amulet will be enough to please her. Coming into the hallway that contains the door to her lab, he hears faint talking. As he approaches the door he hears her say "I'm always prepared." Knocking on the door he gets no response. So opening the door he walks into a dark and cold lab.

F: Hello, Pb are you in here?

F: Pb?

Pb: Halten Sie die Fick auf!

As she looks away from her work she nearly passes out. By the door stands an unscathed and smiling Finn. She could only be puzzled by how he got the amulet from Hunsons neck without getting killed.

Pb: Took you long enough, do you have the amulet?

F: Yeah, here you go.

As Finn gets closer, Pb knows this is her chance to see for herself on what it feels like to kill someone. Not only that she convinced herself to kill Finn. As he's a foot away she pretends to drop her pen and while crouched pulls the dagger from under her dress. With one quick movement she plunges the dagger, to the hilt, straight into his stomach. With one quick turn of the blade she rips it free. The wounded and surprised Finn hurries to cover it to stop the bleeding but gets hit in the face by an unknown force. Before he realizes it he's out cold and quickly bleeding.

Pb: Now what?

Pb: We got to get rid of him. Let's dump his body in the Candy Forest so it won't be traced to us.

Pb: How will we get him out of here?

Pb: The secret passage you built here in the lab goes outside the walls and into the forest I believe. Let's get rid of him now.

Without much hesitation she pick him up and throws the dieing hero over her shoulder.

Pb: Damn, even for being 16 he's as heavy as 160 pounds of lead.

Forgetting about her burden, she moves to the secret doorway and knocks three time on the wall. It just swings open with about as much ease as pushing a boulder up a hill. Ignoring the slow door she begins her walk down the dim lit hallway. After a 10 minute walk, she's at the exit which appears to be in a hollowed out tree. As she exits she moves about 10 feet and just drops Finn right against a tree. Turning she head back to the tree only to disappear and head back to the castle. Once she got into the castle, she took of the blood soaked lab coat and threw it away. Moving towards the sink in the corner of the room she washes away all the red and continues on her elixir without much as a single bead of guilt in her.

Back in the forest

Finn lies there unconscious and bleeding, the grass around him turned red, and his shirt was no longer blue. Out of nowhere the mysterious figure he seen standing on the city's wall, appears and starts to stitch him with supplies from her bag. As on as she started she was finished. Content with her medical skills she relocated him and her to a small cave that was used as her camp. She sat and watched the human, waiting for him to wake up.
