Chapter 14

Sorry about leaving you guys with that large cliffhanger, I just couldn't help myself. Oh and if you haven't seen the episodes where Finn and Jake go to Mars, anything with the Cosmic Owl or when they meet Death you may be a bit confused this chapter so just go with it.

"What happened to her?"

"Does that matter right now? Just fix her!"

"Calm down! It'll all be okay. The other doctors will take care of her, just calm down."

"I-I can't!"

"Why not?"

"B-because shes my friend and I need to be there with her."

"Like I believe that."

"Let me in there before you get hurt!"

"Just answer me something."

"What?! We dont exactly have much time for questions."

"She's just a human to you right? You're the bad boy who doesn't care about anyone but himself. Why do you feel the need to take this one for yourself when she'd be happier with me? Why do you care so much about this one?!"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me. Why is she so different?"

"Because I'm in love with her okay?! There. I said it. I'm in love with Fiona."

When a person dies in Aaa, it is said that they go to a place where the Cosmic Owl decided their fate, whether they should die or live. Fiona had no idea what this place looked like, no one did, she never really thought about it.

And now she knew.

After she blacked out she found herself in a place she thought to be space. All she could see was darkness, like an inky black void that had swallowed her after she died but unlike an empty void would have there were little balls of light everywhere around her. They littered the darkness. It was almost like she was wittnessing a battle. A battle between lightness and darkness in which the darkness was attempting to swallow everything but the tiny balls of light were fighting back, filling parts of the space with a beautiful glow. It reminded Fiona of the nights where her and Marshal Lee would lay in the grass at night and he would point out constellations. He would tell her stories of what each one represented but some of the time she knew he was lying because he put himself in the stories but some seemed true. She'd ask him if she could become a great hero in the stories and get her own constellation. Marshal would smirk and tease her saying, "Maybe, but probably not. How are you going to get up there anyway?" Fiona chuckled at the memory, but that was before she realized why she there in the first place.

Marshal Lee had killed her.

Fiona could remember everything, how weird yet strangley good it felt while he sucked the life from her. Did he enjoy it? Maybe he did. Maybe he was so evil he loved thinking of how Fiona had trusted him and he had been the one to take the life from her all on his own. Sure his mother pushed him into it but he could have stopped, she could've acted dead and Marshal would take her to the Candy Kingdom and they'd fix her up, but he didn't. He just kept drinking and drinking and didn't stop. How was Cake going to react? Was she going to break down over her dead sister? Would she go after Marshal Lee to avenge Fiona? Or would he go after Cake next since Fiona wasn't there to stop him? Fiona gasped. He could end up going after Cake next. No, she assured herself, this is Marshal Lee we are talking about, he wouldn't do that. That made her feel better until she realized she didn't know Marshal anymore. Did she ever even know him at all?

A tear began welling in her eye before she wiped it away, "No Fiona, you are a hero, you don't cry."

"Most people who end up here cry," A voice called out.

Fiona spun around to find herself face to face with the Cosmic Owl. All she could do was gape, this was the closest she'd ever been to the legendary creature. The owl looked just like how Cake described it after having her croak dream, it was just a really big owl. But unlike other owls Fiona had seen this one seemed... different. The girl couldn't place what was so different about it that made it seem more beautiful and awe-inspiring than other owls. Maybe it had something to do with the golden glow that was radiating off of it.

When she snapped out of it, Fiona kneeled, (which is hard when you're suspended in space) and bowed her head. "I am Fiona the Human, hero off Aaa. I was killed by...by..." She couldn't bring herself to say it aloud.

"I know who you are and about your death, it is unnecessary for you to tell me." The entire time it talked it's mouth remained closed and it's face remained emotionless, it was almost like it was speaking telepathically.

"Uh sure...I mean...Yes Sir, or Yes Ma'am?" Fiona stammered, what was the Cosmic Owl? "So, where am I?"

"In the middle of the universe, in space." So she was right, "I am here to transfer you to your trial."

"More trials? That's donked up!" Really? She was just killed by her best friend in a trial and they were just going to send her to another one?!

"Your good and bad deeds will be weighed to see where you go in the afterlife. Good luck Fiona the Human."

Before Fiona could respond the large, glowing Owl let out a large CAW and waved a huge wing. Fiona immediately dissapered and suddenly found herself on the ground in a large room. This time there was no jury or audience, just her sitting on the floor in front of Death and...Abraham Lincoln? The king of Mars?

"Fiona the human!" The king of Mars yelled in his raspy voice. "I have not seen you since I was last on Mars."

"What are you doing here? I thought that you were ruling Mars." Fiona remembered having to go to Mars to save Cake from Magic Woman's fate. She also remembered watching the King giving up his immortality for Cake and turning to a stone statue.

"After I died Death asked me to come and decide peoples' fate."

"Yes, I remember you also Fiona the Human from when you retrieved your Princess Plant's soul from me as a favor for Peppermint Maid. How is Peppermint Maid?"

"Uh fine, I guess." Fiona suddenly felt uncomfortable, she knew these two but did they like her enough to help her?

"So how did you die?" Death asked in his smooth voice.

"I w-was killed by the Vampire King," Saying the Vampire King was easier than saying Marshal Lee, but either way, it hurt to say out loud.

"I'm sure there's a reason he would kill someone. I've met the Nightosphere Prince and he's not one to kill people." Death said.

Fiona hung her head, "That's what I thought. That is, untill I was being sucked dry."

"So what do you want to do?" She heard the former King of Mars ask.

"What?" She lifted her head.

"You have a few options, you could chose to die or you can live as a ghost in Aaa for eternity."

"Well being a ghost would be pretty Algebraic, I could kick some evil butt. But eternity is a pretty long time. Is it? I can't remember I'm no good at math-" Before Fiona could finish something began happening. Her body began disappearing, fading away right before her eyes. She began to panic, "What's happening to me?!" She cried out.

"I'm not sure, I've never seen this before," Death said in bewilderment.

Fiona screamed (imagine Finn's scream XD) as she continued fading away. "Am I being erased from existance or some junk?" She yelled, the thought of that scared her.

"Maybe," The King of Mars murmered sadly, "Goodbye Fiona the Human. Good luck where ever you go."

And then she was gone.

So, this chapter is really rushed because I've been SUPER busy lately. I'm sorry it was short and really rushed, I hate to admit I didn't put too much time into it but I'll make it up in the next few chapters I SWEAR. Bye for now!
