Chapter 11: The Rescue
Marshall Lee's P.O.V.
"Let's do this." I said getting out of the truck the rest of the band followed.
"Marshall Lee." Finn spoke up
"Hmm" I turned to face him
He looked scared. If she was in there Finn would have a meltdown.
"W-what do I do if she's i-in th-there?" He asked I could clearly see that he was on the verge of a breakdown.
"You don't do anything you let us handle it" Marceline said her face grim
"But-" he was cut off
"Finn, I won't let anything happen to you." she looked him in the eyes
"Okay Marcey" he gulped and they both continued on
"Marshall Lee, do you think it's her?" Bonnie asked me
"I can only pray that it isn't. For Finn's sake." I said and turned back to the house ahead.
It was a pretty normal house, no fence, green grass, a porch with patio chairs and a small table, flower pots that hung from the ceiling of the porch. The only noticeable thing would be the scorched mailbox. The name "FP" was burned into the box and it had multiple burns and some of it was melted. We made our way to the front door and slowly walked in.
"Well well well look who showed up." we heard a familiar voice say slyly and Finn froze in his tracks
The owner of the voice came forward from the couch and walked towards Finn
"E-e-ember?" Finn stuttered he was scared out of his mind.

Finn's P.O.V.
"Ember please stop I just wanted to hang out with the band today!" I whimpered
"I am your girlfriend you do what I want when I want and I said that you can only see them one day a week for one hour!" she screamed at me slapping me again and again
"Ember they are worried about me and if I don't show they'll come here." I pleaded I can't let my friends know what she was doing to me if they knew that Ember hit me they might shun me or worse
forbid me to see her. I love her and she feels bad about how she treats me but even though it happens again I still love her.
"Let them come! Then they'll see the real you a weak boy who doesn't have the courage to stand up for himself. Let they see so then you will only need me!" she screamed at me and she took out her lighter that she always had with her and took my arm.
"Please don't burn me again!" I was scared out of my mind I always heard that relationships were difficult sometimes but since this is my first I didn't think it would be this hard.
"I will burn you if I want to" she hissed
Suddenly the door burst open and Marceline was there
"Finn!" she screamed seeing the lighter in Ember's hand
"Marce?!" I was surprised she was here why "What are you doing here?" I asked
She grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the apartment.
"I'm here to save you."

Back to Marshall Lee's P.O.V.
"Awww you remember little old me? How adorable." she mocked and leaned in closer to plant a kiss on him
"Get. Away. From. HIM." Marceline seethed pushing Ember away and rushing to a scared Finn's side "Finn are you okay? We aren't going to let her do anything to you." she soothed trying to help
"I-i-i'm fine." Finn said gulping
"Aww is little Finny going to his new girlfriendfor help? " Ember mocked in a baby voice "Hello Marceline if I remember clearly your the reason Finny and I broke up. Home wrecker." she spat
"No I am not his girlfriend I am his friend who cares about him and I am about to slap a bitch up. You wanna join me Bonnie?" Marcey looked to Bonnie who dashed towards Ember and held her down with incredible strength
"What the hell is going on here?" Ember exclaimed struggling "You bitches never stood up against me before!"
"Because we didn't want to get in trouble with Finn for killing his girl. But now you aren't so we can do whatever we want." Bonnie smirked evily "Marshall Lee, Finn and Jake go and get Fionna. We'll take care of her" she said and we ran to the basement.
Fionna's P.O.V.
I was currently sawing through my second bar. What cutting through wood with a piece of glass is harder than it sounds.
"What do you think your doing!"
"Shit" I murmured as I saw FP coming towards me
He snatched the glass from my hands and made a cut on my leg. I winced in pain.
"This is what you get for trying to escape." he seethed and made another cut
"Stop! Please" I pleaded I was in intense pain and this was bringing back painful memories.
"Don't worry Fi" he mocked the name Marsh gave me "I'll be done soon I just have one more cut to make." he grinned evily
He moved to make another cut but he stopped when we heard a female shriek and people running down the stairs.
"The fu-" he was cut off by Marshall Lee's fist in his face
"Don't you dare lay another hand on her." Marshall said darkly as FP struggled to get up only to get tackled by Finn and Jake
"Marsh!" I exclaimed relief was the only thing that I could feel other than pain in my legs
"Hey Bunny" he smirked at me "you might want to get out of the way." I saw his plan and moved away quickly.
He kicked down one of the walls and scooped me up into his arms as I saw Finn and Jake beating the tar out of my former friend.
"You never come near her you hear me, you and your psycho girlfriend!" Finn screamed at him while Jake was yelling profanities even I don't dare to repeat.
Marshall got out his cell phone "Jermaine I got her get your ass over here." and he gave directions to 'Jermaine' and hung up. He carried me upstairs and I saw Marcey and Bonnie beating the crap out of a chick who looked like FP
"Finn, Jake get up here the cops will be here soon and we don't want them to catch you in the process of killing someone. You too Marce." Marsh said as Marcey made the other girl spit out blood.
"Only because Fionna is safe now." she said gesturing to me and she turned back to the other girl "Ember, the only thing keeping me from killing you is Marshall Lee and the cops so you got off easy." she spat at 'Ember' and the police came in
"Jermaine?!" Jake exclaimed
"Jake?! what are you doing here?" Jermaine asked
"Well I could ask you the same question. But the band came with Lee to help Fionna." Jake said pointing to Marsh and I "Now answer my question." he crossed his arms like a twelve year old
"Lee called me and told me to 'get my ass over here'" he rolled his eyes "jeez you don't have to be a child." Jermaine scoffed
"Hey if you two are done we have to kidnappers over here." Marceline said holding up Ember
"Yeah you guys seriously you two can do whatever at home but we got some criminals for you to take in." Bonnie said bringing FP up with the help of Finn
"Damn what did you do to them?" a cop next to Jermaine asked
"Nothing much just keep in mind we didn't kill them and that they started it." Finn said
"Whatever you say kid." the cop walked out the door and Marsh took me to the truck outside.
Soon I saw FP and Ember being pushed into the police car and the rest of the band joined us but it was just us and Marceline in the back while the rest squeezed in the front. I saw Marshall looking down at my cuts they stopped bleeding but they looked terrible.
"Oh Fionna." was all he could say and I saw tears come to his eyes "I'm so sorry. I should have protected you better." he choked out I could see it was breaking his heart.
"Hey Marsh it's okay and if it's a consolation you were right kiwi's ARE evil" I grinned half heartedly seeing Marshall so sad was breaking my own heart. I tried to cheer him up
"No Fi it's not okay I let you get hurt after I promised that I would protect you no matter what." his voice was quivering.
"Marshall Lee. It doesn't matter that you couldn't protect me the only thing that matters is that you rescued me." I cupped my hand on his cheek and looked him in the eye "That's all I care about as long as your with me and were both safe then its okay." his own hand reached up to his face and held my hand
"You'll never know how much that means to me." He said tears begging to burst out.
We stayed like this in comfortable silence for the rest of the trip to the house. When we got there Marshall Lee carried me inside and the band followed.
"Hey guys I think that we should probably tend to our wounds." Bonnie spoke up
"Yeah that's probably a good idea" Finn said chuckling as he was covered in dirt from fighting
"Hey Finn, did you know that Ember chick you called her a psycho and it seemed like you all knew her." I asked and I saw his face contort with pain
"She's my ex." he said coldly
"Finn you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." Marceline said putting a hand on his shoulder
"Yeah Finn. Forget I said anything." I added quickly I could see this was a touchy subject
"I'll explain if you explain the other dude." he said still looking down
"Deal." I stated
We cleaned our various wounds while Finn told his story. "I met Ember a long time ago when she saved me from the wrath of her father's gang, the Flames. I had been in the wrong place at the wrong time and I witnessed some of his gang members do something." He began. The Flames is a very powerful gang FP and Kyle were part of it. FP joined after I started dating Kyle. "I was kidnapped and held at her home and I guess she took a liking to me and she let me go. We moved to another town and began dating. I loved her or so I thought, she was abusive" I could see him struggling with this part "She would hit me and burn me and sometimes if she was really angry she would tie me up and cut me or threaten to leave me. It was my first relationship so I didn't know what love was, looking back I know for sure that that wasn't love." Marceline held his hand tightly, squeezing gently for comfort. "One day I wanted to go to band practice and she was against it. She hit me multiple times and when I tried to plead with her she got out her..." he looked pained and tears were slipping down his cheeks "lighter and she went to burn me again. But Marcey burst through the door and she rescued me." he looked up at Marceline "She took me out of there and let me stay in one of her houses and Jake moved in with me." he finished and I felt a connection to him because he went through so much pain and is still able to smile. I hugged him tightly.
"I understand." I whispered in his ear, I let my walls crash down and I let my old self come back but only for a moment. I pulled back and took a deep breath "My turn." I collected my thoughts and began.
"I met Fred or FP in the seventh grade and we became friends. This was before I changed." I took another deep breath "We stayed friends until the ninth grade when I met Kyle and at first FP he avoided me and I realized that he liked me but I had a boyfriend my first so there was no way I was going to drop everything to go to my friend that I don't like in that way. Soon they became friends and I was the happiest girl in the world my friend and my boyfriend getting along. But it wasn't perfect for long." I looked at the ground "Kyle started to hit me and yell at me and one day FP came by and I thought that he would hate me for being this weak. But he joined in instead and they both started to hit me and verbally put me down calling me names: Stupid, worthless, ugly, pathetic, loser, freak, not worthy of them, obese, etc..." I could feel the shock in the room, it was so thick you could cut through it "The torment didn't end there, my sister..." I choked up at this part "Kate. She tried to interfere she would always tell me to leave him but I couldn't he said he would hurt me and Cake, I mean Kate if I left him. I started to belive what they said and I started to cut myself and skip meals trying to be the perfect hour glass figure of those girls he would always flirt with. Everyday FP would stop by and they would abuse me and even though I was doing my best to be perfect for him it would still go on. One day when both Kyle and FP were at a Flames gang meeting, Kate came and took me away from that place." I looked up for a moment and saw tears in Bonnie's eyes and Marshall Lee was seething with rage and Finn looked dumbstruck. Marce was in shock and Jake looked distant. I felt tears staining my cheeks "We were running away our foster parents didn't care that we were they were too concerned with their real daughter to care that as a freshman I had moved in with my boyfriend and that Kate and I were running away from town. We were so close to the edge of town when we heard motorcycles behind us. It was Kyle and FP. They caught up with us and..." I trailed off I'm not ready for this not yet. "I'm sorry I can't continue this part I just can't I'm sorry." I sobbed into my hands.
"It's okay Fi." Marshall said his voice taking a gentler tone sitting beside me.
"No it's not Marshall, they are terrible people who have too many friends that could hurt us." I sobbed into his shirt.
"I don't think we will have to worry about them Fi we got friends of our own." He said holding me close while I sobbed once again
"Yeah Fio, we are always gonna be here for you." Marceline said while Bonnie, Finn and Jake nodded in agreement
"Thanks you guys your the best." I sniffed and wiped my eyes trying unsuccessfully to stop the tears.
"We have to get going to we have to give more statements to the po-po and it looks like you two would like some time to yourselves." Jake said standing up and the rest followed
"Okay see you guys tomorrow at practice." Marshall said
"Bye guys" I said calming down
They waved good bye and left Marsh and I alone.
"Fionna are you sure your okay?" his voice was full of concern
"Yes I'm fine I just hope nothing else happens." I said slowly
"No I meant mentally you just had an encounter from someone else from your past" he looked at me and I saw that he wanted to know if I was really alright.
I took a deep breath "No, no I'm not." I was shaking "Kyle's trial is coming up for..." I felt another tear slip down my face but I stopped more of them from flowing "for the murder of my sister."
Author's Note: Don't kill me for this short chapter and not updating forever. And I'm sorry for killing off Cake.
Fionna: Why? Why would you do this to me!?
Me: I'm sorry Fionna I just thought it would add to the story.
