Enjoy! :)
Fionna's pov,
They say when you die you go into this space. A space where nothing really exists. But you do. And all you do there is wait. Wait. Wait for what? I didn't know. No one knew. I guess whatever fate sends to me. But death didn't come to me. Not peacefully anyway.
I couldn't open my eyes. My eyelids felt like tiny pebbles were skyrocketing to my face, they refused to open. My whole body ached. Breath came to me in short hard to get puffs. I just couldn't get enough. My heart was burning like an open wound. It took me a second to rewind. To remember what the hell just happened.
I couldn't move my limbs. I started to panic as reality dawned on me. I was dying. Somewhere, some place in me knew this though, I couldn't die. There were still people that needed me. That loved me. That probably couldn't live without me. And in a very literal sense my home needed me. But.. They needed Gumball more. Who would save the innocent people from ice Queen?
Most importantly, who would save Cake?! Hatred shot through me like a bullet for the fire king. I mean I understand why he was doing this.. But kidnapping Cake and torturing us this way was pushing it. Pushing it really far. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain shot through my left cheek. And another, even though my whole body felt like it was dipped in lava I could feel the multiple slaps.
A soft voice was calling out to me. I couldn't regonize this voice. I couldn't piece together the face this voice belonged too. The voice felt like soft velvet to my ears. It was the most beautiful thing I've heard. Suddenly it stopped. The voice reduced to tiny murmurs. I panic grasping onto the last few notes of this voice. I needed it. It can't be gone.. Its the only thing here... To keep my alive.
Marshall's pov,
Ice Queen left Fionna's body lying near the bay. Not near enough to set the traps. But far enough that I couldn't see into her empty eyes. I was so cold. So scared. The love of my life was gone. And I might as well have gotten pneumonia by now. My mind drifted off to her killer. Why didn't she kill me? So she could have her fun?! So she could let me see her die. She knew. I knew it. She knew exactly what went on
I needed to get out. I needed to go. To avenge her death. If anything, I will die. I will die with justice knowing she died with justice. That her killer is bought to judgement. Suddenly, I noticed the ice around me was not as cold as before. At first I put it down as my body adjusting. But I noticed something. Tiny sprouts of black fur were spreading all over me.
But... But that's impossible I couldn't change into my bat form without my powers..The power bracelet made sure of that. But then, Simone used hers. Maybe the ice short circuited! I half laughed. Haha, seems like even the fire kingdom's tech isn't as great as we thought. But my happiness didn't stay as I knew if I didn't hurry.. But what cause the ice to melt this quickly?
Then it hit me. Those thoughts. Those thoughts of hatred. So I started digging. Through everything I hated to everything I regretted even though it hurt like hell. Soon, I felt the familiar buzz of power. The power of immortality. I grinned to myself. And laughed bitterly.
I charged out of the ice block and ran over to Fionna. The dagger that sliced through her chest was gone. All there was, was a huge gaping hole where blood and flesh was supposed to be. My pupils dilated as thoughts of sucking the red. It looked so good. And I was so hungry... I managed to control the hunger while inspecting her wound. It looked bad. I knew no one could live through this.
But surprisingly I could hear her heartbeat. Slowly, it was fading quick but she was ALIVE! I smiled widely. I still had a chance. I looked around. My smile faded. But I could never fix her wound. Plus with that poison in her blood system. I looked at her closed eyelids. Even if I couldn't fix her. Even if I could never save her. I just needed to see her eyes one more time.
On more time basking in the glow of those baby blues. I tried shaking her but I knew she couldn't wake up with that. I needed to hurt her. I winced. I have to do it. For her. As my palm came in contact with her cheek I gasped a little. "Urgh, that would hurt." As I glanced down on her cheek. With my vampire strength it looked worse then it was suppose to be.
I braced myself as I landed another slap. Wishing and wishing for her to open her eyes. "Damn it Fionna... Please wake up." I whispered in her ears. "Please." I begged. "Please." I muttered again. But she wouldn't budge. I rested my forehead on her hers as tears slowly slid down my face. What's the point of living forever if you can't enjoy it?
Sometime, in between the tears I started humming something Simone has sung to me. Back when she wasn't the Ice Queen.
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Badadadada...
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
"Fionna.. Please wake up... I love you." I whispered. "I know." A soft voice whispered. I look up. Fionna was smiling at me. Yes, weakly. But she was awake. "Oh Fionna." I grinned at her through my tear filled eyes.
