I do not own Adventure Time or any of it's characters so just hire me already XD

Author's Notes: So how did you like that last chapter? Was it good? I had some mixed messages when it came to that chapter. A lot of people thought it was really amazing how Finn cleared the air with Flame Princess. While others thought the sudden fireball to Jake's face was too dark for my story. Well we haven't really crossed any "dark" lines just yet. Also as to the speculation from TheJamJam that I might incorporate the plot from early images of "Vault of Bones." I will say prior to this Chapter I have not seen a single preview or leaked image from "Vault of Bones" (all I know is the synopsis) and that's not from a lack of trying mind you. I just don't have internet and I can't seem to catch any previews on television. So I'm going into Monday completely fresh XD. Also I wrote the plot to this Chapter a while back and haven't changed it since I wrote it. So if there are any similarities I'll be really surprised. Any ways that's all I really had to say so enjoy yourselves! Without another wasted second here is Chapter 12 of "The Only Wish."

"Jake are you okay?" Princess Bubblegum dropped Flambo's cage.

"Ahhh!" The flambit yelled as his prison hit the ground. The Princess rushed over to Jake and lifted his head up. The magical dog's face was horribly burned. The once yellow fur turned black with hints of red.

"He's not getting up any time soon Princess." Flame King chuckled as he slowly approached the princess.

"Jake wake up." Bonnibel shook the magical dog. The hero stirred and slightly opened his eyes.

"No toast on my bacon mommy." Jake whispered. The Candy Princess stared at him confused.

"What are you talking about?" The magical dogs eyes fluttered. The Lord of Flames noticed and stopped advancing

"But, Jakey didn't go boom boom." The way Jake talked was like that of a delusional child.

"COME ON JAKE!" Princess Bubblegum grabbed the magical dog by his shoulders and started shaking him back and forth.

"SNAP OUT OF IT!" With her right hand the princess slapped Jake on his unscathed cheek. The magical dog sat up almost instantly.

"Whoa what's going on?" The awakened hero asked.

"Flame King attacked you." Jake shot his head to the sound of chuckling. The Fiery Monarch stood close by. A look of satisfaction covered his face and along with his blazing hands the elemental looked menacing.

"You should have stayed unconscious buffoon, it would have saved you all the agony." Flame King watched as Jake stood up.

"You're the only one about to be in agony!" The magical dog yelled as he stretched out his arm and punched The King's armor clad chest.

"Hahaha!" Flame King laughed at his strike.

"What's so funny?"Jake asked unaware of the smoke coming from his fist.

*TSSS* The magical dog felt a burning sensation in his hand, pulling it away from Flame King as quickly as possible.

"Oww!" Jake shook his hand back and forth having been burned by Flame King's super-heated armor.

"Jake are you okay?" Princess Bubblegum asked as she came to his side.

"I'm fine." Jake picked her up and put her by Flambo's cage.

"Jake?" The Princess looked at Jake bewildered.

"Just stay out of this Bubblegum." The magical dog turned back to the problem.

"I don't know why this jerk is here." Yellow hands turned into righteous fists.

"But, I don't need a reason to beat down a bad dude." Jake rushed at the Fiery Monarch.

"I'll gladly silence your existence." Flame King said as a fight ensued. The magical dog used his stretching powers, dodging attacks and trying to land some of his own. The Lord of Flames was surprisingly just as nimble, dodging Jake's assault as he threw massive fireballs.

"Yeah get him Jake!" Flambo yelled from his cage. Bonnibel watched the battle quietly with her hands together, hoping for the best result.

"Hyaa!" Jake punched Flame King in the face, ignoring the pain from punching something as hot as a skillet.

"Arrrgghh!" The Lord of Flames countered with a quick fireball to Jake's leg.

"Ahh!" The Magical Dog stretched away from him to avoid another blow.

"Oh no!" Princess Bubblegum yelled her face horrified.

"Flame King's gonna burn Jake to death!" The Princess trembled at the thought. Flambo looked up at her.

"Hey I can help!" The flambit yelled at her. Bubblegum turned her attention towards him.

"You can? How?" The Princess quickly asked as she picked up his cage.

"Yeah I can cast Flame Shield on him. All you gots to do is get me near him." Bubblegum didn't waste anytime. She ran towards the fight, with cage in hand. Flambo started speaking in a weird language and suddenly magic runes surrounded him. The flambit finished his spell and touched the Princess' dress. A veil of blue magic coated Bonnibel.

"Thanks." Princess Bubblegum stopped running. Flame King and Jake's fight was directly in front of her.

"Just one more time." Flambo said as he began muttering to himself. The runes appeared once again, but this time the flambit didn't touch anyone. His hand glowing a bright blue.

"You gots to hurry and get near Jake." Flambo's tiny arm shook violently.

"I can only hold this for a bit." The Princess stared at the fight waiting for her chance to get near Jake. Flame King noticed the pair just before his canine adversary could and hurled a fireball at them.

"No!" Jake jumped towards them, his back turned towards the blast.

"Now!" Flambo yelled as Princess Bubblegum quickly raised the flambits cage. Flambo extended his arm and punched his friend on the forehead. The magic of Flame Shield covered Jake just before the fireball hit.

"AHH!" Jake screamed as the blast sent him flying into his friends. The princess, magical dog and flambit hit the ground and rolled away in a cluster.

"Oww!" Bubblegum was the first to recover, followed by Flambo.

"Dang you hit us like a sack of bricks bru-da." The Flambit told him. The yellow dog didn't respond.

"Jake?" Princess Bubblegum crawled over to her friend. The magical dog was unconscious, the force of the blast to much for him.

"Hmmf I knew he was weak." The Lord of Flames kicked Jake's body away from Bubblegum.

"Leave him alone!" Princess Bubblegum yelled at Flame King as she stood in front of her friend.

"I don't care about the buffoon! What are you doing Bonnibel?" Flame King asked her unaware of her new motives.

"Wasn't it you who asked me for help?" Flambo shot a glance at the Princess.

"I don't want to capture Flame Princess anymore." Bubblegum told The Lord of Flames.

"What are you going on about Princess?" He asked.

"Call off anymore attempts to capture her." Bonnibel told him once more.

"You're pathetic." Flame King scowled at the Princess.

"Did she melt that candy brain of yours? If she stays with that boy any longer the world will be in jeopardy."

"I wouldn't mind if every other kingdom burned to cinders. but that includes MY kingdom."

"Please just leave her and Finn alone." The Princess practically begged Flame King.

"You don't deserve to be called a Princess, you disgust me." The Lord of Flames turned away from her and walked towards his guards.

"GET UP!" He commanded them. The elementals obeyed, slowly picking themselves up from the ground.

"YOU CALL YOURSELVES ELITE? YOU WERE BEATEN BY A BUFFOON!" Flame King walked away from them and picked something up from off the ground.

"This'll be useful." Flame King said as he walked away, his Flame Guards following behind him. Princess Bubblegum watched the fire elementals leave.

"Jake." She looked towards the injured canine.

"I shouldn't have got you involved." She sat next to him and placed his head on her lap. Bonnibel caressed his fur.

"What did Flame King mean about you calling him for help?" Flambo asked her his cage on its side. Bonnibel reached over, picked up the flambit's prison and brought it closer to herself.

"What I did was an absolute mistake. I just hope..." Princess Bubblegum began to cry.

"I just hope Finn's okay, wherever he is."

Elsewhere...

One final raindrop fell from the heavens, ending an unexpected drizzle. And as dreary clouds dispersed from a blackened sky, they slowly revealed a grossly incandescent ball of light. The sun appeared attempting to spread its rays to all life and illuminate any crevice on the earth below. Among these was a gaping hole, at one time just a simple divot, now a place where light couldn't reach. The fissure led deep underground into what looked like an incomprehensible void. But, not too far from the surface was a cave. It's floor covered in soft dirt and grass, and in the middle of the cave was a small body of water accumulated from the rain. The caves rocky walls were covered with cracks. A beam of light shined through one of these fractures, covering the face of an injured boy. The young hero twitched as he felt the familiar warmth on himself.

"Uuhh." Finn moaned lightly trying to cover his eyes.

"Is it morning already?" The boy rubbed his eyes with his left hand.

"Where am I?" Finn asked himself as he searched his surroundings. The light bothered the young man so he blocked it with his hand and kept looking around. From the corner of his eye Finn could see a faint orange glow.

"Flame Princess?" The hero stood up and tried walking towards the light, but for some reason he couldn't.

"What the-" Finn felt a pressure on his right arm. Using his left hand he felt his arm, with a sudden surprise.

"A rock?" The hero felt stone just before his elbow.

"This isn't math." Finn tried to pull his arm out of the rock.

"Oww!" A horrible sensation came from his arm.

"It's really stuck in there." The hero thought. He kept feeling the rock and realized that his arm was placed between two different boulders. One on top of the other. His limb the cream-filling.

"Finn?" The young hero forgot about his arm for the time being and turned towards the voice.

"Flame Princess?" He yelled looking for her.

"Over here!" Finn looked a little higher and saw her on a ledge.

"Hey!" The Princess waved to him.

"Are you okay?" The young hero asked her.

"Yeah I'm fine! How about you?" Finn tugged at his arm again.

"Totally Math!" He lied as he tried forcing his arm out once more.

*CRACK* Finn's constant struggling disrupted something in the cave wall. The whole cave suddenly started shaking. The hero looked around wondering what was happening.

"What's going on?" The ledge Flame Princess stood on started shaking.

*SPLASH* Large rocks fell from the cave ceiling landing in the small lake below.

"Whoa!" The Princess lost her footing and fell of the ledge.

"Princess!" Finn yelled as he watched the fire elemental plummet straight down.

*SPLASH* She landed in the pool of water. A horrified looked covered the young hero's face as something else fell from the ceiling.

"NO PRINCESS!" Finn screamed as something large fell directly on top of her from above. A brief moment of silence and suddenly the fire elemental bursted out of the water.

"AHHHHH!" Flame Princess cried out in pain as she thrashed around violently splashing water ever which way, struggling to get out of the water.

"I need to get her out of there!" Finn looked around desperately trying to find something, anything to help free himself. That's when he saw it, glistening in the darkness. A crimson figure silhouetted on the cave floor.

"My sword!" The human boy reached over trying to grab the demon blood sword.

"CRUP!" Finn's arm wasn't long enough. The hero used his leg and tried again. His left foot just long enough to touch the handle and pull it towards him.

"Yes." He grabbed the sword from the ground.

"FINN!" Flame Princess called out to her hero as she desperately tried to push something off of her. Unfortunately the obstruction's path was caught between two rocks making it impossible for her to move.

"I'll be right there!" Finn yelled to her. The young hero shoved his sword in between the rocks and used it to try to pry one of them up.

"Come on!" Finn tried pulling his arm out, but the boulder didn't budge.

"This isn't gonna work!" The young hero pulled his sword out of the stone. Finn tried to come up with a different means of escape. He could try to cut the rock, but how long would that take? If he could just cut something else. Finn looked at his sword and then at his right arm.

"No, there's gotta be a different way!" The human boy planned for a couple of moments. But, strangely enough his thoughts weren't interrupted by the continuous sounds of agony.

"Princess?" Finn looked back at her wondering what had happened. Flame Princess' screaming had since stopped, her head lay quietly on a rock just above the water. The young hero looked back at his predicament.

"I can't wait any longer." Finn clutched the hilt of his sword within his left hand.

"There isn't any other way." Finn extended his right arm and raised his weapon.

"I can't let her die!" The young hero yelled as he brought the sword down.

"GAHH!" Finn screamed in agony having freed himself from the prison with one swing. The boy dropped his sword. Pain filled his senses, like electricity coursing through his body. Finn held what was left of his right arm and squeezed it hoping to keep as much of his life's essence as he could inside. The young hero gritted his teeth.

"Princess." Finn turned around and stumbled towards Flame Princess. Fighting back the urge to faint, and leaving a trail of crimson behind him, the young hero made his way into the pool of water and towards his next obstacle. The boy could fully see what pinned down his princess. A tree at least ten times Finn's size rested on top of her. The boy knelt and tried lifting it off of Flame Princess.

"Ahhh!" The boy shouted indiscriminately his body struggling under the immense weight.

"Come on!" He yelled still trying. The obstruction didn't move an inch.

"It's no use." Finn let go of the tree, he felt his body getting weaker. In all his frustration he looked to his trapped princess. Her completely doused body almost seemed lifeless in the pool of water. The sight made something snap in Finn.

"I WONT LET YOU DIE!" The Hero declared. Intensity filled the boy's eyes as he knelt once again. Finn shoved his hand underneath the tree and dug his fingers deep into its bark. A feeling, like knives stabbing every muscle in his body enveloped the poor boy. But that same feeling seemed to fuel his rage-induced strength, forcing his body to new limits.

"Come on!" The infuriated hero slowly unbent his knees, his fully extended arm grasping the tree as it slowly came off Flame Princess. In one last feat of strength Finn turned his entire body around.

"Hyaa!" The boy swung his arm around and threw the tree over himself.

*THUD* The tree fell to the other side of the lake, making a massive splash as it crashed down. The young hero looked to his princess once again. The Princess almost looked like she was sleeping, the water around her now a scarlet blanket. Finn walked over to her and picked her up, being as gentle as possible. He slowly brought his girlfriend to the side of the bank, closer to the bright light extruding into the cave. The boy walked out of the water and placed the unconscious princess down on a nearby patch of dirt.

"Flame Princess." Finn couldn't yell anymore. His whole body felt dizzy, and his vision blurred even more with every passing second.

"You have to wake up now." The boy took a deep breath and moved closer to her. Finn pressed his lips against Flame Princess' and let out the air. He stopped and looked at her. The Princess still lay there unconscious.

"Come on Princess." The boy took in another large breath. He held her head, pressing his lips against hers again.

*COUGH COUGH* The Fiery Princess coughed up some water. The young hero smiled, knowing she was alright.

"Finn?" The Princess spoke as she opened her eyes. Her vision slowly accustoming itself to the darkness.

"Hey Princess." Finn spoke softly, the hero held his wounded arm away from her. Trying to keep his wound out of view.

"What happened?" Flame Princess sat up, the color slowly returning to her skin.

"You fell in a pool of water and I saved- AHH!" The young hero suddenly cried out in pain. The damage on his body finally making itself known. Finn collapsed landing on his back.

"Are you okay?" Flame Princess asked in concern. The princess reached her hand out to him when she suddenly felt something wet.

"What's this?" The Princess looked at it. Her body acting as a flashlight, she saw a familiar red substance covering the ground.

"Finn are you... bleeding?" Flame Princess wiped her hand on her shorts and crawled towards him. Finn attempted to hide his wound by turning to his side, but he was too slow. The princess could see a large part of Finn's right arm was missing. Everything below his elbow gone. Flame Princess covered her mouth in horror.

"What happened to your arm? She asked the mangled hero. The Fiery Princess moved in front of him, still crawling.

"It was cramping my style so I ditched it." The boy said his weak voice ruining the joke.

"You're not funny!" The Princess scolded him with tears in her eyes. The young hero laughed a bit, defying his injuries.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Concern overwhelmed anger. The Princess out-stretched her hand, placing it against his cheek.

"It's just pain, it doesn't hurt as much..." Finn grasped his arm harder, the feeling in his tortured body intensifying.

"As much as what?" Flame Princess asked almost begging for the answer.

"Losing you." Finn had a weak smile on his face as he said that. Flame Princess didn't know how to respond. A mix of sorrow and joy came from her eyes, scorching the grass below her. She stared at her injured hero. The strong-willed boy, now knocking at death's door.

"Finn." The Princess wiped the tears from her face. At the same time thinking of a way to save him. She saw him grasping his arm and had an idea.

"Finn close your eyes." Flame Princess told him.

"Wait what?" The sudden command caught Finn off-guard.

"Just do it!" The human boy obeyed, closing his eyes immediately.

"You better keep them closed!" The Princess warned him, before she blushed a bit and took of her shirt. She folded up the shirt, leaned towards Finn, and put it against his wound. The young hero jumped slightly.

"What are you-" The young hero attempted to peek at his arm. Flame Princess noticed and conjured a fireball right next to his face.

"Keep 'em closed or I'll close them for you." She told him. Finn did as he was told, shutting his eyes even tighter than before. The Princess grabbed Finn's hand and pressed it against her make shift bandage.

"There that might help. Just hold this." She told him. The young hero did as she asked keeping pressure on his wound.

"Now we just need to close it." The Princess brainstormed a couple of ideas. She looked at Finn's wound and then at her fiery hands.

"If I removed that amulet I could try burning it closed." She thought, turning her gaze back to Finn. The human boy's breathing was deep, slow and if that wasn't enough he shook every time he exhaled.

"He's to weak for that. I might accidentally kill him." Flame Princess frantically tried to come up with a different plan.

"Princess." The young hero spoke up in an astonishingly weak voice.

"Yeah Finn?" The Princess asked as she kneeled over and parted some of his hair from his damaged face.

"I'm feeling pretty sleepy... I'm gonna take a nap... okay?" Finn's voice seemed almost like a whisper.

"No open your eyes!" The Princess put her hands around his head, slapping his cheeks and shaking him to prevent him from sleeping.

"If you fall asleep... you won't wake up!" Flame Princess remembered the last time she saw him "sleeping." She trembled at the thought.

"Sorry Princess." A couple of tears ran down the hero's face as he turned his head away from her.

"Finn please!" The Princess yelled at him, but to no avail he didn't respond.

"FINN!" Flame Princess screamed his name. She waited for him. Sitting there patiently, staring at the hero. Seconds going by like hours. The Princess hoped for what just happened to be some sort of prank. Maybe Finn would wake up, make a joke or something and he would laugh, then she'd get mad at him. But, nothing. There was no silly prank, a punchline, or anything of the sort. The young hero simply laid lifelessly in her hands.

"No." The Princess embraced Finn. There was no reason to hold back her tears. She grasped the back of his torn shirt with one hand and held it tightly. Her opposite hand kept to his cheek. Flame Princess rested her head on his shoulder, nuzzling the side of his face and then she cried. Her tears pouring from her eyes like the rain she feared so much. All the while the Princess felt a coolness inside her chest. Like a fire being stomped out inside of her. The pain she felt more intense than any amount of water.

"Why did you have to save me?" The Princess could only blame herself for what happened. Everything that led up to this was her fault. It was her fault Finn had to injure himself. Her fault for running from him. Her fault for killing Lady Rainicorn. Her fault for being dangerous. Her fault... for being born a monster.

"I'm not even worth it." Flame Princess couldn't cry anymore. Finn was right. She had finally run out of tears. The Princess released Finn from her grasp and laid him back down on the ground.

"I wish I could save you, the way you saved me." Flame Princess thought about what happened the last time he had "slept." She cried that time as well. But, Beemo came to the rescue. He brought a bottle of Cyclop's Tears and made Finn all better.

"At least we had them that time." Flame Princess grabbed her shirt from Finn's arm and put it back on. She sat there, staring at her hero when suddenly she remembered something. While looking through Finn's backpack for some food she had seen a bottle.

"The bag!" The newly motivated fire elemental noticed Finn wasn't wearing his backpack and stood up. Her sprained ankle still causing her a slight amount of pain.

"It's gotta be somewhere around here." The Princess had no idea how they would've gotten in the bag. But, she didn't care. Using a fireball as a flashlight she frantically searched around for it. Flame Princess looked high and low,scouring ever inch of the cave, when finally she found it.

"Oh crup." The Princess stared at the bag. Finn's green backpack was sitting in the middle of the pool of water. And to make matters worse it had sunken to the bottom.

"How am I supposed to get it now?" The pool wasn't too deep and would barely come to the fire elemental's waist. But, the fact remained. Her and water did not get along. Flame Princess looked back at her hero.

"I have to do this... for Finn!" She declared with a fist-pump. The Princess cautiously approached the water.

"One step at a time." Flame Princess put her foot into the pool.

"This isn't so bad." She took another step, her bare ankle touching the water.

*Tsssss* An unsatisfying hiss came from the introduction.

"Ahhh!" Flame Princess shrieked and stepped away from the water. She grabbed her ankle and jumped around in pain. After a couple of seconds the Princess put her foot back down and decided to try something else.

"If I hurry maybe it won't hurt as much." The Fire Elemental hesitated at first wondering if it was a smart idea.

"Finn didn't do what he did because it was smart." The Princess ran into the deadly liquid.

"Haaaa!" Flame Princess kept running until the water reached her thighs.

"AHHH!" The water slowed down the Princess' movements to a slow trudge, causing her to feel more pain than before.

"I can't stop now." The Princess only made it halfway through the pool, before her flames started going out.

"I can't..." Flame Princess could feel herself slowly slipping into unconsciousness. Her thoughts drifting to Finn and how she was helpless to save him.

"No!" Determination overwhelmed The Princess. Fire streamed out of the elemental's eyes as her dimmed flames began growing brighter.

"I'm getting that bag!" The water around Flame Princess boiled. A cloud of steam erupted from the pool, escaping through the hole above her. The Fire Elemental shined a brilliant gold as she made her way to the middle of the grotto.

"There it is." The Princess reached into the pool to grab Finn's backpack, her arm evaporating a path through the liquid.

"Finally." Flame Princess pulled the bag out of the water, turned around and started walking back to the bank.

"That...wasn't...so hard." Halfway back to the pool's edge the Princess' flames began dying down once more.

"Almost...there." Flame Princess let out deep breaths. Her act of courage finally taking its toll. But, with the bank so close the rowdy elemental endured. At last the Princess walked out of the water. Unfortunately in all her exhaustion the elemental didn't notice a stray rock sticking out of the soiled ground.

"Whoa!" Flame Princess tripped over the rock and fell down face first, Finn's back pack flying out of her hands in the process.

*CRACK* The bag landed down harshly, an ominous breaking sound emanating from it.

"Oh no!" The Princess picked herself up from the ground and ran towards the backpack, fearing the worst. The bag's contents covered the cave floor, mostly a random assortment of paperback books, candy wrappers, and other miscellaneous things. But, one item in particular caught Flame Princess' eye. A glass bottle, shattered to pieces on the ground, and a shining pool of liquid gathering just underneath.

"No the Tear's." The Desperate Girl stuck her hands in the Cyclops Tears in trying to save them. Her actions went unrewarded.

*TSSS* The angelic liquid doused the Princess' hands with a sickening hiss more disturbing than any earlier.

"AHHHH!" The Princess pulled her hands away from the puddle. The pain she felt at that moment almost unbearable enough to bring her back to tears. Flame Princess shook her hands wildly trying her best to re-ignite them. As she did this the precious liquid she sought after so much began disappearing into the ground.

"NO!" The Princess once again stuck her hands in the Cyclop's Tears. This time she didn't retreat. Instead she cupped her hands around the Tears and picked them up. Not even a second later she was running towards Finn.

"Mmm!" Flame Princess bit her lip trying to dull the pain, while she watched the cave floor for any more obstacles. A moment later she was next to Finn. She knelt next to her champion and carefully poured the Cyclops Tears on to his self-inflicted wound.

"Please work." The Fiery Princess sat next to her hero and waited, but her attention soon wavered.

"Ouch!" The Princess stared at the source of her reaction in anguish. Her dark blue hands trembled, a feeling like buzzing bees came from inside them, and every couple of seconds it felt as if one of the bees would sting her. The fire elemental tried to re-ignite her hands, but after several times she gave up.

*COUGH COUGH* Flame Princess shot her eyes back to Finn. The young hero's amulet moved up and down as he took in some air.

"Finn." The Princess smiled knowing she had saved him.

"Worth it." She told herself as she clenched his hands.

*CRACK* Something started to move in the cave. Flame Princess looked around when something started shining in her eyes.

"What's the-" The Fiery Princess turned her attention towards a crack in the cave wall. The light grew larger as two figures seemed to move rocks away from the fracture.

"This is taking too long." Flame Princess heard a muffled voice come from the hole.

*BOOM* An explosion came from outside the cave. The Princess covered Finn as pieces of rock scattered throughout the cave.

"What's going on?" The Fiery Princess watched as a dark figure suddenly entered the cave.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Flame Princess asked the ominous shadow.

"You don't recognize me?" The figure got even closer as the Princess' eyes adjusted to the light.

"FATHER!" Confusion and anger covered Flame Princess' face.

"So you do recognize me! I guess introductions are no longer in order." Flame King smiled as he approached his daughter.

"STAY BACK!" Flame Princess warned him her fiery hair rising under Finn's bear hat.

"You don't scare me child." Flame King chuckled at her.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?" She asked him.

"To take you back home of course." Flame Princess' hair returned to normal.

"I...I won't go back." She told him a hint of fear in her voice.

"You don't have a choice." Flame King's guards entered the cave.

"No!" Flame Princess yelled at him.

"Either you go back with me or.." Flame King pointed at Finn.

"I'll kill that boy." Terror covered the Princess' face.

"No stay away from him!" She screamed at him.

"It's your choice come with me or he dies." Flame Princess looked at Finn. Her hands were still damaged and after everything that had happened she felt drained. There was no way she could fight her way out of this one.

"You promise not to hurt him?" She asked her father.

"I won't touch a single hair on his head." Flame King promised with his right hand over his chest.

"Okay... I'll go with you." Flame Princess turned to her hero. She took off Finn's hat and put it on his head.

"I'm sorry Finn." She parted his bangs away from his eyes and stared at his face.

"I guess this is goodbye." Flame Princess kissed him on the cheek one last time. She then stood up and walked towards her father, sadness covered her face.

"Good girl." Flame King put his hand on her shoulder. The pair turned around and started walking away. Just before they exited the cave Flame King looked at one of his guards.

"You there!" A guard saluted Flame King.

"Kill him!" Flame Princess' eyes shot open.

"NO!" Before she could move her father pulled something out of his armor and latched it around her wrists.

"Finn!" Flame Princess screamed as a jet of water sprayed on to her hands.

"Ahhh!" The Fiery Princess let out a shriek and fell to the ground.

"This is for the best." Flame King said as he picked up his daughter and started walking away.

"Finn..." Flame Princess said one last time before her world went dark. Back inside the cave a single Flame Guard approached Finn.

"Too bad for you boy." The Flame Guard said as he pointed his spear at the unconscious hero.

Well that's Chapter 12. Hopefully it was worth the small wait. Funny thing about this chapter. It was kinda difficult to write XD. I didn't have a lot of time to do anything else besides this. I haven't even watched "Vault of Bones" or "The Great Bird Man" yet. I wanted to keep this idea in my head without drawing off of other media so I haven't read anything either. My friends made me go out on Friday and Saturday, even though I'm sick. I've had a cold for like the last 5 days. Uhhh... It sucks to be sick. But, I did get to see "21 and Over" on Friday so that was pretty cool. Anyways I really hope you liked the chapter. And if you did don't forget to Favorite, Follow and Review... especially Review. If you don't review this chapter and criticize my writing I won't get better so yeah... do that. Also just because it makes him mad whenever I mention him in these notes "Hi StrikerXE!" XD. I wish I was a little bit more reliable when it came to posting new chapters, but I'm not so I hope to have another chapter out soon. Until next time DarkCzar13 out!
