All Finn can do is to lay in his bed, recovering from the attack and to wait for his feet to heal. He hoped the queen will wake up soon so he can tell her what just happened to him.

The doctors and nurses walked in and out of the room, giving them medicine to take and assisting them. The queen was asleep for a while now and the doctors didn't bother her unless she had to take her medicine.

"Dreamless sleep..?" The doctors tilted their head to the side. "Maybe a tranquilizer would do that… But we don't think we have anything like that.."

"Please, just get me something for dreamless sleep." Said Finn "I've... been having nightmares that robbed me of sleep. I really need my sleep right now."

"I'll give you pills that will let you fall asleep.. But i can't guarantee a dreamless sleep." The doctor said, walking out of the room. "I'll be right back."

Finn watched them go and hoped they would return soon. He was tired, tired from all the things that happened in the past week. All he wanted as a dinner date with Bubblegum and to simply enjoy the night with her. The candy doctor returned with a small bottle of pills. He handed two to the general.

"Take it with water. It'll help you sleep.."

Finn gladly took the pills and water from the doctor and took them.

"Thank you" Said Finn after he swallowed the pills. Now he waited for the pills to kick in.

"You might want to lie down before they kick in.."

"yea... Good idea..."

Finn laid down and made himself comfy in his bed as he can feel the pills kick in.

"Goodnight, general finn." The doctor left the room.

"Good night to you too Doctor." Said Finn, his whole body and mind felt numb and tired. He didn't fight the sleepiness and soon he himself fell into slumber

The usual snowy field had regained its silent form that night. There were no voices, no winds, no storms.. Just deathly suffocating silence surrounding the young man. Finn dimly found the silence nice as he lay in the fluffy snow. He wasn't sure why he was there but he didn't care, everything was nice and quiet. There was nothing. No breeze, not even a little bit. The snow was soft, almost like a blanket. Snowflakes began falling over the previous ones. It was gentle and calm. Finn slept in the snow, not feeling cold or not. He slept like he never did so in a while, it was relaxing.

He slept for a while, nothing was there to woke him nor bother him but all too soon he had to wake up. The snow fell heavily onto the human and covered him completely, leaving him to suffocate. It melted from the body heat of the human and turned slowly into water. He was in danger of drowning.

Finn seemed to be having some trouble breathing which caused him to wake. He opened his eyes and lifting his head so he looked around to see where he was dimly as his mind was half asleep.

Finn yawned and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"Hey there Bubblegum." Said Finn in a soft voice. "How are you feeling...?"

"I'm... ok..." Said Finn, sitting up a little. He felt very felt rested, much more than the past few days.

"That's good…" She murmured and turned her attention back to the window. There were smoke rising from few areas and distant explosions could be heard. She stared outside with a blank expression. Finn was silent for a full 3 minutes before he softly said in a guilty voice.

"I'm sorry... it's all my fault that is…. is happening... Y... you have a right to be angry at me..."

"Angry? I'm not angry…" She replied to his apology. "I'm just… thinking a little bit.."

"Thinking about the war outside?" Asked Finn, he can feel his stomach flip-flopping from the guilt that formed

"…yeah." She answered after a short pause. Finn stayed quiet, he felt so bad to leave the kingdom and his queen when they needed him the most. He wanted to make it up somehow but he wasn't sure how.

She turned her head around to face her general. "Finn.." She spoke after what seemed like an hour if silence. Finn felt his heart lerch and he readied himself for something bad.

"Hey Bubblegum?" He asked, wondering what she is going to say

"You.. You seemed worried. Are you okay?" She asked. Her general was not looking very well… He's probably stressed too. Finn could have lied. He could lie that he was just tired and nothing more but he can't lie to Bubblegum, this was too dangerous.

"No..." Said Finn flatly. "I'm not... My home is getting destroyed around me, I'm getting attacked but this thing living in my mind and... I... almost lost... you... How can I be ok in this great mess?" He said shutting his eyes and bowed his head.

"Oh, finn…" A lot happened over the few days.. He's tired and stressed and worried. That's not good, considering a magical item is trying to drive him crazy. Not good at all.

"Finn.. It'll be alright.. It's not your fault. We'll figure this out.."

"I just hope it will in the end." Said Finn limp in his bed. He open his eyes and looked at the queen with his tired, pure white eyes.

"Oh, finn.." She wanted so badly to get off her bed and walk over to him. She wanted to comfort him, give him a hug… Reassure him everything will be fine and look him in the eyes… His wonderful blue eyes that are now snowy white and his long beautiful hair and…

She realized where her trail of thoughts are going and snapped herself out of it. Why did she think that? Finn opened his eyes and stared down at his well worked hands. These hands had seen much, much more than he had most likely.

"Bubblegum..." Said Finn in a stern tone as his thoughts turned to the teen and the crown. "You need to find a way to make sure I'll never get to that crown. Even if that means I have to locked up for good. It's trying hard to break me and get to the crown... I wont want to hurt anyone..."

She looked a little surprised. Lock her general, a dear friend, up in a cellar forever? Just the thought scared her.

"Let's..let's hope it wouldn't come to that.."

Finn looked a little relieved to hear that but only a little. He stay silent for a while, lost in thought and numb to the world.

A few days passed after the queen was hospitalized. She made a very quick recovery (using a lot of sugar in a process), and was able to resume her normal activity. Finn on the other hand was still recovering. Some of the wounds on his feet were deep and still needed to cleaned once a day. Finn still relied on the pills to sleep and the attacks on his mind only stressed him out greatly. He was at the breaking point when the visions got more and more disturbing.

There was a knock on the door. "Finn? Can i come in?" The familiar voice spoke.

Finn jumped a little in his bed, he was trying to stay calm. He looked at the door

"Yea.." Said Finn "You can come in"

The candy queen walked in the door. "Hello, general finn." She spoke. "How.. Are you feeling?"

Finn lighten up a little when seeing the queen. He sat a little straighter and smiled a little.

"I'm ok I guess..." Said Finn glancing down at his blueish skin. He went through a lot of bodily changes in the past few days. His skin was bluer, his hair longer and whiter and his started to see things all round him.

She walked over to him and took a seat next to his bed. "How's your injury?"

"They're healing all right." Said Finn, looked down at his bandaged feet. "The cleanings are getting less painful..."

Finn nodded then he asked as a question popped in his mind

"how's my men and the battles going?"

"They're doing fine. The batter is long and.. We do have.. Well, casualties. But we're advancing."

Finn made a face when he heard that there were deaths but hopeful it wasn't a lot of deaths. He returned his gaze to the queen.

"How are you doing?" He asked

"I'm doing fine!" She answered. Finn looked at the queen with searching eyes. She looked tired but he didn't say anything about the matter.

"The visions are getting worse..." Muttered Finn as he looked out of the window.

"That's not good…" She walked over to him and hugged him. "Are.. Are they scary? What do you see? Maybe talking about it would make you feel better."

"They are... they're disturbing..." Said Finn, Resting his head on the Queen's shoulder, taking comforter in the queen's touch. He went on to explain the things he was forced to watch, the death the destruction, and to watch the ones he is close to get killed.

"Oh, finn.." She hugged her general tight. The visions will soon drive him crazy. He's getting worse an worse every day.. There is almost no stopping the madness. She just hoped the war would be over soon.

Finn Closed his eyes as he lend into his queen's arms. There was nothing that he can do besides live the day out.

"I just wished that there was some way to put this thing to sleep long enough to win this war." muttered Finn

Finn opened his eyes and looked up at the queen.

"Some sleep will be nice," Said Finn, slightly shaky "Just a small nap before I try and walk again."

She handed him a cup of water and a sleeping pill. "Close your eyes…" Her hand gently brushed over his eyes.

"uh... ok." said Finn, closing his eyes. He wasn't sure why the queen wanted her eyes closed, he can take pills just fine!

After he had taken his pills she let him lie down on his bed comfortably. "Goodnight." She whispered, and moved her hands to his cheeks. Her lips touched his forehead slightly.

The queen quickly left the room after that. The dimly lit hospital room's door closed with a low creaking noise. Finn's cheeks turned red and he open on eye slightly to watch the Queen leave. Then he smiled, maybe all hope is not lost with having a relationship with the queen after all! This new found revolution only made him more determine to stay strong.

The usual snowy field was calm as always. The snowflakes fell gently and softly onto the ground. The calmness around was soothing. Finn was sitting in the fluffy snowy, happy and dim to the world around him. He felt super relaxed and didn't have any worry in the world.

"Hello, my king… Enjoying your stay?" The familiar, cold voice rang though the calm snow, freezing the calmness solid and shattering the silence. Finn jumped a little as his dim mind awaken by the voice. His drugged mind is not too sure what just happened. Sleepily, Finn looked around the snowy field

"My king…. I missed you. Come to me.. Come back to your kingdom.." The cold voice spoke calmly. Finn hugged hims and shivered from the cold. He just plopped down onto the fluffy snow, wanting to return to his sleep. Even if he wanted to go see who the voice belong to, his tired mind and body didn't allow it.

The teen floated up to him and hovered right over the king's face. "Wake up wake up, my king—"

Finn opened one eye and looked at the teen with a sleepy look. He was totally uninterested in the teen...

"Get up—" his voice was like a child's who's eager to play. "Come on, my king! We have much to do!"

"Get up…" The voice changed from playful to pure coldness. "..or i'll make you."

Finn shivered again from the cold but his drugged mind was taking in nothing of the teen's words. Finn continued to happily napping half buried in the snow. The teen was irate. He reached a hand out and connected to the king's mind, controlling him like a puppet. He made his marionette stand up. Finn suddenly felt numb, he wasn't all that aware that his body started to move on its own as he was still half asleep. He his was still bowed and eyes closed as his body rose up from the teen's control.

"Wake up." The teen commanded. "Wake up or your little lady friend gets it."

Finn only heard muffled babbling as his mind started to fade into sleep when the pills he took was at the strongest. His body shook a little when it was getting harder and harder to stand. Here pretty soon this dream world will desolve into nothingness.

The teen reached his other hand out. There was a little blur of pink, screaming and squirming, under the teen's control.

A sharp scream rang though the snowy fields as the pink figure was handed over to the king. The king, now the child's play toy controlled like a marionette, rose a hand and formed a sharp icicle.a familiar voice begged him to let whatever it was the king was holding go free.

"Finn? Finn?! Can you hear me?! Let me go!"

Finn started to stir when he dimly heard the voice of his beloved queen.

What's going on? Why did he felt like he was fighting with someone? Why did Bubblegum sounded so scare?

Finn struggle to open his eyes and see what's happening but it was hard since the drugs still flowed in his body and mind.

"Finn?! Finn, no!"

The teen smirked and made the puppet poke a hole in the pretty little pink doll's chest with the icicle. The pink doll fell to the ground, tears rolling down her face. The color was drained from her face and soaked the pure white snow. scent of sweet candy filled the cold air as the snow began to melt a bit around her body before freezing solid again. Finn started to wake up as the sounds and smells finally got to his dull mind. He started to fight against the drugs as the testosterone started to kick in. He struggle a bit more before he can open his eyes and the sight before him horrified him. His body because to shake violently as he struggled to stop himself from going whatever he was doing, tears falling from his eyes as he started to put 2 and 2 together.

"Ah, you're up…" The cold voice spoke as if nothing happened at all. Finn didn't say anything as he continued to struggle. The world around his started to crack as he felt like his eyes were still closed. He prayed that his queen was all right and this was just an nightmare!

Just a nightmare...
