Hey, it's me! Just a pre-chapter note to please look at my previous pre-chapter note. Could y'all check that wikia page out? I would really appreciate it, and I think my homie Superfan44 would too. Thank ya very muuuccchh! I hope you like this chapter. Especially since it's up at a decent time. It starts out right where we left off, so it's not 6 days until the execution yet. You know, I've got to kind of "build up to the moment", if you know what I mean.
Chapter 9- Time of Dying
"Finn, are you all right?" Jake asked in a quiet voice.
Science had jumped onto Jake's shoulder, while Jake poked Finn in the arm. Just to make sure he was still alive, his heart must have just broke.
Finn took his hat off and wiped his eyes with it. He then took the note and wrapped it in his hat. He put it in his back pack. Finn's gold hair was short, but long enough to cover his eyes. He was looking down to the floor, occasionally letting a tear drop hit the floor. But Finn tried to hold them back, and lifted his head up to see the people surrounding him. "That's it." he croaked. "She's gone."
"No she's not, Finn. Not if you stop it." said Jake.
"If we stop it." Connor stepped in. "I keep my-" he looked around at the others. "We keep our words, and I believe that they included helping you?"
Finn's head lifted; an expression of some hope on his face. "Thank you, everyone. It means a lot, I know you guys know I really like her... but you can't imagine how much."
"No, we can't; but I think I have an idea." Marshall Lee said, laying a hand on Marceline's shoulder. Her cold skin warmed up with the tint of red filling her cheeks. Marceline didn't want anyone to see, so she put her hands on her face. When she took them off there was a puddle of pale red liquid in both, and her face went pale once again. She let it seep through her fingers and land on the concrete floor, where the color slowly faded away.
All of a sudden, Alexa turned around and darted toward the radar screen. She didn't even bother to fly there, and she ran so fast her cap went with the breeze; it landed on Finn's head. He actually laughed at this and took it off and inspected it. Where had he heard "Hambo" before? Finn pushed it away and went over to the girl hovering over the small green radar screen. He noticed she had dark brown shoulder length hair. Why wasn't it black like the other vampires he's seen? And she was only around his age, not a thousand years old. Did something happen? He shook all the questions off. He needed to focus on saving Bubblegum and defeating Lemongrab. Finn just placed the hat back on Hambo's head.
"Oh my life." she said under her breath. "Guys, you need to see this!" she called behind her. When everyone was on either side of Hambo, she said with a concerned tone. "Look... there's so many."
Her finger was pointed to a mass of dots closing in on the mountain. They were traveling rapidly. It wouldn't be long until they would arrive.
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep?
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
He's not here.
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
He's not coming.
On this bed I lay
Losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Was it all too much
Or just not enough
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
He can't save you.
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
You still thinks he loves you?
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I will not die, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying.
Princess Bubblegum woke up. Sweating and gasping, she shot up. She had drifted off on the cage's cold floor; crying. Crying, worried that Science didn't make it to give him the message. That Finn wasn't coming. That he was gone.
That she was next.
The tears were once again.
"Alex! Check the surveillance cameras!" said Connor, astonished.
Alex turned quickly towards the large computer screen and pressed some keys on the keyboard below it, tapping the last one with more force. "No," he said in disbelief. "No. Not this fast."
Along the horizon of the setting sun were jeeps, dirt bikes, and some running figures, guns in hands.
hey, i know, a cliff hanger. I'm not sure if that's an acceptable chapter length, is it? Kind of medium legth. Short, but one of the "long" chapters. Well I completed this friday afternoon. I'm posting it early in the morning on a saturday so I get more views, but if you guys aren't interested in the story really, all is fine. Your persepective. But I work hard and you guys are lucky for a promised chapter every week so you can look forward to something. Fine, fine. BTW that song which kind of went with PB's bad dream was "Time of Dying" by Three Days Grace. I know, second song by them, but they're awesome along with Breaking Benjamin. YEAAAHHH!
Till next chapter, which will be up at the same time next week, may your tomorrows be wonderful in strange ways. Hopefully you'll witness a unicorn crossing on the highway. But don't hit it unless you want a big sparkly mess.
My butt hurts from sitting. :(
