"How much farther do we have left?" I yelled to Finn over the blizzard.
"It says one hundred yards left." He yelled back. We were trudging through two and a half feet high layers of snow.
"I can see the ice castle." yelled Marceline. She pointed at the huge castle made of ice.
"We're almost there!" Finn yelled, but then suddenly, the blizzard stopped.
"What happened?" I asked. The other two shrugged their shoulders. I took one step forward, and the earth shook. I quickly moved back, and in front of us, grew out of the snow covered ground a giant snow monster. Like the ones from before, but much, much bigger.
I slowly walked backwards, as if trying not to startle it.
"What the heck is that thing?" Marceline asked.
"It's a giant snow golem." Finn said. He stepped in front of me. "Stay behind me." He said and the leaves that were wrapped around his hand straightened to a point. It was some kind of magic sword. He charged at the giant beast. "Die ice devil!" He yelled. Before he even reached the feet though, the monster batted him away with its giant hands. The hit sent Finn flying all the way back to Marceline and I. Marceline then flew up to its ugly, frozen face and somehow transformed into a giant woman-bat. She still was tiny in comparison to the monster. It grabbed her and squeezed her in its massive hands.
Watching them fight the monster, risking their life for me, made me feel really good inside. And then, I also felt so useless. Finn had his skills and agility, Marceline had...well she's a vampire. And what about me? A skinny blond with no muscles and a black bag. Wait, that's it! My purse. There has to be something in here. I unclipped the magnetic button and opened the leather bag. Lipstick, eye liner...and...a pack of cigarettes?! I smoked? I'm only fifteen! I continued looking. ...nail polish, a comb, and a lighter. What kind of a girl was I? Unable to do anything, I just stood there in the snow and watched.
Eventually, Marcline and Finn defeated the monster. When they came back, Finn was bruised and cut, but Marceline looked fine. He had a black eye, was bleeding all over and his clothes were torn. "Are you okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I eat monsters like him for dinner." He replied. We continued to the ice castle. When we got to the door, Finn kicked it open. "Ice King! Come out here so I can punch your face!"
Soon, out came the lonely old blue man. "Fionna! You came back for me!" He said and started running towards me with his arms open for a hug. Before he could get anywhere near me though, Finn stepped in front of me. At least he didn't want anyone else touching me. He grabbed his arms and pinned him to the ground.
"Where is it?!" Finn yelled.
"Where's what?" Asked the Ice King, looking very confused and scared.
"Don't play dumb with me. Where is the..."
Finn was interrupted by Marceline. "Finn! No need to be so rough." She said. Does she actually care for that pervy old man?
"What? What's wrong?"
"Let me try." She helped him up. "Ok, Simon, do you remember seeing a small orb, about this big," she made her fingers as big as a large golf ball, " that's blue?"
"A small blue orb you say." Ice King started stroking his long, dirty beard. "Nope, can't say I have."
Now that she described the thing we were looking for, I think I've seen it before. "Wait a second." I said.
"What is it?" Finn asked.
"The last time I was here, I think I remember seeing something just like that."
"Can you remember where you saw it?" He asked. He was still breathing a little hard from the battle.
"Um...in my cell. I think it's in my cell."
"Simon," said Marceline, "take us there."
We arrived to my holding cell. It looked the same as it did before. Except, for the hundreds of books and junk littered all over the place.
"Jeez Ice King," said Finn, "you're a slob."
"Yeah, I had a little tantrum after I was rejected by yet another woman." He replied. His entire aura wreaked of desperate loneliness. How sad.
"I'll say." Marceline added.
"How are we going to find the orb in this mess?" I asked.
"The old fashioned way." Said Finn. "Ok, Marceline and Ice King, you check over there, while Cammy and I'll check over here." Finn and I began looking through the layers of books and random garbage.
After a few minutes of searching, Finn came closer and closer over to where I was. Soon, he was right next to me. I reached for a book, and so did he. Our hands touched. I tried to ignore my heart going faster than a bullet and continued searching. Was this intentional, or just an accident? Was he trying to tell me something? Ahhhh! Boys can be so confusing!
"Don't you think we could get more done if you searched over there?" I asked, trying to play it cool.
"Yeah, but I think I want to be over here." He answered.
Oh. My. God.
What did that mean? I don't know! Does he like me? He had to, right? I mean, a guy doesn't just say things like that for no reason. Ugh, why did I have to be so clueless when it came to the opposite sex?
"Um, Cammy? Cameron?" Finn waved his hand in front of my face. All this time I was so mesmerized, that I hadn't even realized that I was staring right at him with flaming red cheeks.
"Uh..." I came back to my senses.
"I found it!" I heard Marceline yell from across the freezing room. She flew up and held in her hand a small, golf ball sized ball. It was glowing a bright light blue, as if symbolizing the ice.
"Okay," she said, "so we've got the Ice Orb. Just two more to go."
"Let me hold it in my bag." I suggested. She handed it to me and in dropped it in my purse.
"Okay!" Ice King said, as if he accomplished something, "so where are we heading to next?"
What? 'We'? "No, no, no. Not 'we'. You are not coming." I said. There was NO WAY that he was coming with us. I might get raped in my sleep or something.
"But, but..."
"No!"
"What? Finn, help a brotha' out!" He said.
"You heard the lady." He replied. It was good to know he was on my side.
"Fine! But don't expect an invitation to my birthday party next week!" He yelled.
"Simon, your birthday is in December." Said Marceline.
"I know!" Said Ice king and he ran out of the room crying. What a loser.
"Okay, so where to next?" Finn asked me.
"I don't know. Where's the SAHIT?"
"I thought you had it?" Finn replied.
We both looked the vampire. "What? Don't look at me, I don't have it."
"Wait," Finn said, "then that only leaves..." We both ran out of the room. "Ice King!"
We caught up to him outside. He was running through the snow carrying the SAHIT and was followed by one of the smaller snow monsters (about 8") and Gunter.
"Ice King!" Finn sprinted at him, forming the leaf wrapped on his right arm into a sword.
"Curses!" The golem stood between us and the Ice King. Finn must have lost it, because he jumped and cut the monster's head clean off in one go. Ice King flew up into the air. The already freezing air turned into a frost-biting blizzard with 20 mph winds.
"You have meddled with my plans for the last time! Now, you die!" He blasted Finn with an ice beam.
"Finn!" I yelled. He seemed to be ok. Now I was mad. I picked up the sword that the golem had and ran towards the Ice King .
"You may be a great warrior, Fionna, but you are no match for me!" He said. He was too high up to try and fight, so I took aim and threw the sword at him. It spun wildly in the air until it knocked off his crown. damit , I missed. Suddenly, as he dropped, the blizzard stopped. The winds calmed as he lay unconscious in the snow.
I went and picked up the sword out of the snow. I think I'll keep you. I walked back to the Ice King. "Lets end this." I planted my foot on his chest and raised my blade to aim at his head. "This time I won't miss."
Just as the point was a foot away from entering his skull, Gunter stood in the way of me and him with it's wings spread, as I protecting him. "What?" I asked it.
"Quack." It replied.
I looked at it, then at Ice King, then back at it, and lowered my weapon. "Fine." I said.
Marceline came up behind me. "How'd you know that knocking off his crown would take his powers?" She asked. Honestly, I had no idea what she was taking about. I was actually aiming for his head.
"Uh...lucky guess?"
"Where's the SAHIT?"
I looked around. "There." Finn had it. He came to.
"Where to now?" asked Marceline.
The arrow pointed east. I looked, and saw in the distance a red city covered in smoke.
Finn's expression dropped. " The Flame Kingdom."
