Fionna PoV.
Fionna made her way to Marshall's house again; she need to tell him something important, PG had just helped her immensely:
Back at Candy Kingdom…
"So you've been having dreams about Marshall Lee?" Gumball asked seeming interested, he sipped his tea and waited for Fionna to answer, when she didn't he continued, "Are you sure these aren't…you know, caused by your perio—" Fionna jumped with surprise, her face turning scarlet, "Gumball! No, it's nothing like that!" she snapped, nearly choking on her drink, Gumball abruptly raised his hands up apologetically, "Sorry! Sorry! I was just wondering…" his face became a little pinker, "Just, no. their more like nightmares…." She said shuddering at the memory, Gumball leaned in closely, "Tell me." He said. So she told him everything; about the grey forest, her doppelganger, the red dagger, and Marshall dying in her arms. When she finished she looked up to see Gumball's face with a shocked look, "Red dagger?" he asked, "Yes…and every time I…" she buried her face in her hands, Gumball got up and put his hand on her shoulder, "Fionna…this is very serious. That red dagger is made of Demons Blood, and it can kill anything…even Marshall." Fionna looked at her friend her eyes wide, "And there is a possibility that the events that appeared in your dreams, are likely to occur in the future." He said as calmly as he could, though he hated telling her. Her eyes became bigger than her head with shock, "You mean I will probably…kill Marshall?" she looked like she was about to cry, then he remembered, "But you can probably change it. Stay here." He left the tea room for a moment and came back with a vile with the crimson red liquid he had made when she arrived, "a few days after the ball, I had a dream about the Demons Blood dagger; I was told that there was a cure for it. The dagger uses poison that gives you a very slow and very agonizing death. So over the past few weeks I've been working on a cure, and I had just accomplished it." He took Fionna's hand and set the vile into her palm and closed her fingers around it, "Take this. Go see Marshall and tell him about it, and if he comes in contact with that dagger, give him this. I have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen…" Fionna stood up and hugged him, "Thanks so much PG!" she said, he smiled, "Any time Fi." He said she looked up at him and blushed. That was the first time he had called her Fi, she stood on her tip toes and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and ran out of the room waving a farewell behind her shoulder, "See you later Gummy!" she giggled, and she was out the door. Gumball's face turned hot pink.
Marshall PoV.
"Be careful Marshy, don't hurt yourself." Ashley smirked, Marshall was paralyzed, he couldn't move his body, "What the hell did you do, you psycho?" he yelled, she giggled, "Paralysis Magic; took me a while to perfect after we broke up. But now it's come quite in handy." She traced a finger across the burn mark on his cheek, he winced, it should have healed by now, damn magic, he thought. He hated feeling helpless, "Now. About your human…" she said her back turned to him, he bared his fangs into a snarl; "She has a name! I swear, if you lay a finger on Fionna…" she turned to face him, "Oh don't worry. Nothing will happen to her. Yet. That's where you come in." she said, then she stopped and listened closing her eyes, then she smiled wickedly, "I can hear her coming now…everything is going perfectly." Marshall's paralyzed body tensed, no! Fionna, stay away from here! Then he picked up her footsteps with his sensitive ears, she was less than a few meters away from his cave. Ashley turned to him and smirked and brought out her wand from her belt and raised it over her head and began to trace a large clockwise circle in front of him, and chanted something in what he recognized as Latin:
*O portas immortalibus mundi,
in cinereo silvis aeternitatis,
in immortale mundo nocte,
Ego imperium te;
Aperire!
As soon as she finished, the door opened to see Fionna walking in the door, and a grey swirling portal opened, Fionna looked in their direction, and saw Marshall frozen in pouncing position, "Marshall what's-!" Marshall looked in her direction his eyes desperate, "Fionna! Get out of here! Or you'll end up-!" but it was too late. There was a blinding flash of light and everything went dark. Everything was dead silent.
AN: the Latin translates:
O gates to the immortal world,
the grey forests of eternity,
the deathless world of the night,
I command thee;
Open!
