Chapter 9
Ice Queen nodded as Fionna explained to her what had occurred in the last few days. "Marshall Lee... I feel like I recognize that name... I think I knew him when I was younger." She explained as she petted her pet penguin, Gertrude. "Do you want to go back to him?" She asked curiously.
Fionna sighed, "I don't know what I want Simone... I can't get the look he gave me out of my head. He looked so betrayed. He looked so lonely. I feel like I should go back to him just to go back." She sighed into her hands, "I want to just scream out all my thoughts... maybe that would make me feel better..." She said softly.
Ice Queen rubbed her back, "it's okay Fionna... I know this is kind of awkward since we both hate each other and junk but it was kinda boring just trying to steal a prince without having you show up and fight me, stealing them back and protecting them." She said honestly. "I havent even went to Prince Gumballs castle for Globs sake!" She said as she threw her hands up. "Oh how I miss that pink, sweet tasting strong of a man." SHe said with a light blush on her cheeks as she sighed dreamily.
Fionna gagged, "don't really want to hear that right now Ice Queen, I can just go see Cake if I want to hear those kinds of things." She then gasped, "Cake! I have to go see my sister! She must be so sad without my presence... I missed her so much. Same with BMO, I missed playing video games..." Tears formed in her eyes, I missed everything while I was gone..." She covered her face as she began crying again.
Ice Queen rubbed the back of her neck nervously and stood. She then walked over to her phone and picked it up, "Im going to call your sister... have her come get you... and bring you a full outfit since just a shirt isn't that good to be honest." SHe said as she looked around awkwardly. "Yeah..." She said softly before turning to the phone and dialing the number to the tree house.
Fionna half listened as Ice Queen talked to Cake. She really did miss everything but something at the back of her mind told her that she missed something even more... Marshall Lee the Vampire King. It didn't make any sense! How could she possibly miss such a man? After all that he had done to her! What had he done to her? He gave her food... and clothing... a bed to sleep in... Sure he choked her and threw her against the wall but he apologized and she got him back for it. After thinking about it for a while, the whole situation made it seem that it was... her fault. She caused him pain, pain he never would intently give to her. Pain she never felt. Why was she feeling this way? Why wouldnt anyone tell her what to do! What if Marshall was still in his house, having that same expression on his face? What if... he would do something drastic since he was alone again. What if... he tried to kill himself? More tears fell from her eyes as she stood up quickly. "I have to go save him... As a hero, I have to protect all the creatures of Aaa... I have to!"
Ice Queen rushed over to her and sat her back down, "You have to stay here." She said. "Cakes on her way and she kinda didn't believe me and she threatened to kill me if I was lying. So you have to stay here until she comes. Not a single blond hair can escape this castle." She said with determination, "if you try to leave, ill freeze you to death." She threatened. Her hands glew a bright color, same with her eyes to prove her point.
Fionna sighed and nodded, "fine... but Im going to go find him right after and if you try to stop me then I'll be the one who threatens you." She said with a frown. "Dont think about testing me either Ice Queen." Another sigh escaped. "How has it been in the Candy Kingdom since I've been gone?" She expected the Candy Kingdom to be overrun by monsters, the citizens be cowering in fear. She honestly felt that without her, Aaa would be helpless.
Ice Queen shrugged, "fine I guess. Its more quiet actually, since I havent really been kidnapping, no ones really been trying to attack anything, There was one time I tried to get Gumball but his stupid guardians decided to blast me. Burnt my hair!" She said with a frown, her hair being her most important part of the body in her opinion. Without it, she couldn't fly. She then chuckled, "I froze them so it's much better as revenge. I feel better and my hairs okay." She said satisfied.
Fionna nodded slowly, she couldn't believe how... normal everything seemed. It made her kind of feel... unneeded. Maybe Aaa didn't need a hero anymore... She then stood up. "I'm going to go beat up some bad guys... There has to be some somewhere!" She grunted when Ice Queen pushed her back down. "I know... I can't leave." She huffed as she laid back. "This chair is uncomfortable."
Ice Queen couldn't help but laugh, "not my problem. Just wait a few more minutes for your sister, have a moment then go out and see Marshall or fight some bad dudes." She suggested.
A few minutes of silence passed and a wall of the castle suddenly broke. Ice Queen huffed annoyed and Cake stretched in, looking around frantically. "Where's my baby? I swear Ice Queen, if you were lying..." Her eyes then came upon Fionna and she gasped. "Fionna!" She cried before wrapping her limbs around Fionna in a tight hug. "Ive missed you so much, where have you been! I thought you were dead." She sobbed. "Why didn't you come home? Whyd you come here out of all places?" She exaimened Fionna. "Why do you have bruises on your back?!"
Fionna chuckled nervously, "I got thrown at a wall..." She said as she managed to rub the back of her neck. She sighed and hugged her back, "I missed you too. I never thought Id see you again to be honest." Fionna bit her bottom lip, "don't freak out but... I kinda got turned into a sex slave for the past few days thanks to a demon. Hes the king of all vampires." She explained with a small blush.
Cake gave her an expressionless face for a few seconds before anger took over. "Who did this to you?! Where are they? I'll kill them!" She growled in a protectingly way. Her claws were out, already in attack mode. "Whos face to I have to claw off?"
"Marshall Lee." Ice Queen answered with a shrug.
Fionna gave a glare at Ice Queen before shrugging, "he didn't do anything wrong. He took care of me and he's a pretty nice guy..." She said softly with a smile and a light blush.
Cake gasped, "do you hear yourself girl? He had to have brainwashed you or something! I swear, ill help you get your mind clear, once I get you back to adventuring like usual." She said with a smile. She took her hand in her paw and glanced at Ice Queen before stretching her human sister out and headed to the tree house. "BMO will be happy to see you he's been so sad since you vanished."
Fionna laid on her side and curled up, "yeah... I missed everyone here, how long was I even gone?" She asked. She knew she was there for a few days after she woke up but how much time passed while she was out. Could have just been minutes.. could have been a few days. Her head was throbbing pretty bad.
Cake sighed, "a very long week." She explained with a sadden look. "We thought we found your dead body, it was wearing your clothes and it was all bloody..."
Fionna nodded, Marshall had told her about that, to make them think that she was dead. "I just want to lay down and take a long nap okay sis?" She said with a tired expression. Her eyes soon fell and her fingers curled into the soft small hair of her sisters back. Soon enough, she was out.
There was a soft sound that ran through the bedroom belonging to the two of the tree house. It was familiar for some reason. Fionna stirred in her bed, once curled up in a ball, she was now stretched out, her fingertips brushing the edge of the bed, her small toes hanging off. Her eyes slowly opened and she looked up at the ceiling of her room. Cake must have carried her inside and laid her down, she even changed her, now noticing she was in her fuzzy, orange onesie. She quietly listened to the music, trying to remember where she heard it from. It was the same voice she heard every night when she went to sleep. She listened to it for several minutes, thinking before her eyes widened and she sat up quickly, "Marshall?" She called out. She remembered the voice... he was singing as she took a shower. It was impossible to forget such a beautiful voice. Her expression saddened when the voice stopped singing. "Is that you?" She stood up and walked over to the window, she quietly stepped out to not wake her sister and looked around. "Where are you?"
There was more silence before Marshall appeared, floating at a distance. "You never said anything before about me singing up her so... I thought you wouldn't notice me." He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry Fi... I had to see you. I know you don't feel the same but I missed you so much, it hurt." He explained with a small blush. "I should go, I'm probably already a burden and everything." He turned and his eyes widened when he felt a small tug on his shirt and noticed Fionna holding onto the fabric. "Fionna..."
Fionna blushed darkly and hesitated before she stepped closer, "don't go... Dont ever go. I was an idiot Marshall... I shouldnt have left you." She hugged him tightly and pressed her face in his chest. "I love you Marshall... I love you okay! I don't know how you did it but I cant stop lumping thinking about you and every time I do, I feel like I'm a bad person because its you! Did you really brainwash me?" She whimpered in his shirt as she clung onto him.
Marshalls eyes stayed wide as he listened to her confession. "You... love me...?" He breathed. "I wonder how long I waited to hear those words." He wrapped his arms around her and smiled, "I love you too Fionna. You have no clue how much I love you Fionna." He whispered in her ear.
Fionna pulled away and looked at him, the moonlight reflecting on her tears that filled her eyes. She then stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips onto his. A small smile formed on her face. To her, nothing could make her happier.
