Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I never said that was the end, people! XD Yeah, that's right. I'm still writing. My mind has more planned and stuff…
Wee Woo: YAY! New reviewer! I'm glad you like the story. And like I said above: that's not the end! (But I guess it would be a great ending… maybe… but it's not…) If it was the end my life would be boring… and I'd have absolutely nothing to plan… Yeah…
Adventure Time Girl: I appreciate knowing that my mind is a genius . Hope you liked the story so far!
Everyone: Thanks for the review :D
Anyway, ze chapter 14
Finn
We were in the middle of coming up with a plan to free Treble, but that was very quickly interrupted by a bird's screech.
"FINN! I'm going to KILL YOU!"
My head turned towards the familiar, yet very, very angry, voice of PB on her giant bird thingy. Her face was contorted with rage.
"Uh-oh…" Jake said.
"Finn," FP said with concern, "what did you do!?"
"Nothing!" I quickly said defensively. "I think…"
"YOU are in the MOST TROUBLE!" Bubblegum continued. She was now close enough that she jumped off her bird and started to storm towards us. She quickly glanced at FP, who promptly waved shyly.
She huffed. "I thought we AGREED that you wouldn't."
"Wouldn't what?"
"Be with Flame Princess?" Jake asked. FP blazed.
"What? NO!" Bubblegum waved away the thought, "I could care less about that now!"
"Then what are you so mad about?" I shouted. "Don't pretend you don't know, Finn. This has you written all over it," She claimed, "Only you would break Treble out, so now I'm here to take her back. You're actions were pointless."
Wait – Treble escaped? I glanced around at my group of people that was just planning to free her. Looks like we were too slow…
But I'm almost positive Treble didn't do it by herself. Someone else must have… but who?
"Woah! Hold the phone!" Jake cried. "Treble busted out of jail? Cool!" Bubblegum looked a bit confused.
"Um, PB," I continued, "we didn't do that. In fact, we were just planning to do that. Meaning we didn't do it yet."
Now all Bubblegum did was stare at us with a blank face. "So… you didn't do it…"
We all nodded.
"… Then who did!?"
Treble:
I allowed myself to be led out of the castle by the stranger, running through the hallways and climbing up to the roofs. We escaped the city so we wouldn't get caught and me thrown back in jail. Quickly we approached the woods, and soon the trees thinned into a beach.
We slowed, and breathing hard, I noticed the raft- like boat docked by the rocks.
"Alright, now it's just rowing," the red-haired somebody-that-I-used-to-know (XD) commented. She strode towards the boat.
Yeah, except I didn't exactly want to leave Ooo…
She turned back. "Come on," she waved.
"I'm not going," I said, almost like it was an obvious fact.
That caught her off guard. "What?"
"I'm not going. Why would you think I would come with you?" I started to rant. "I don't know who you are, first of all. I don't know where we're going."
She started to speak, but I knew what she was going to say. "Yeah, yeah, I probably used to know who you are and where we're from… and Sirens and all that. But I don't want to go. Ooo was my life."
The red-head marched towards me, and stuttering, tried to convince me: "B-but, I rescued you! I s-saved you – saved you from that… that dungeon! If and all that. But I don't want to go. Ooo was my life."
The red-head marched towards me, and stuttering, tried to convince me: "B-but, I rescued you! I s-saved you – saved you from that… that dungeon!"
I averted my eyes. I know she did all those things. And I'm glad that I'm now free. That doesn't mean I want to go back to… to some siren land.
?
I thought my plan was going to work perfectly. I would rescue Treble from this rotten land, we'd escape on the raft, and go back home, where she belongs.
Instead, she was unwilling. Her words hung in the air like a heavy anchor, the rejection slowly electrocuting my nerves as well as my mind.
My mind reeling, I searched for a way to convince her.
"If you go back, they'll just lock you up again!" I exclaimed.
Treble didn't flinch. Instead, it seemed her eyes saddened, and she spoke. "Maybe. But I have friends here now. I've lived here most of my life. The other place I don't even remember."
The reality hit me. Hard.
Treble really… doesn't… remember…
Doesn't… remember… me.
"If you wanted to rescue me how come you didn't come sooner!? Maybe like ten years ago sooner? How come I even ended up here, anyway?" She accused. I had no explanation, so I didn't show any emotion.
"Well, for some reason I was left here, so, now I'm going to stay here," Treble stated. She took a step backwards.
"Bye."
I watched with sadness as one of my best childhood friends left me standing on a beach as she disappeared into the woods.
Finn
"And you don't remember anything?" I asked again. The guard shook his head and assured me, "I'm absolutely positive. I was just walking down the street for a patrol and BAM! I woke up in a cage." He shook his head, still dazed.
We were going nowhere with the investigation. I was starting to doubt that someone else helped Treble. It seemed like the guard was possessed or something.
"And you?" I turned to the other guard.
"I 'member that guy comin' up in here and bludgeonin' me hard on the head, that's wha' I 'member." He turned and gave an icy cold stare at the first guard.
"I told you, I don't remember that!" The accused guard defended himself.
"See, Finn?" Bubblegum said after we released the guards from interrogation. "Treble was lying to you! She knows a lot more about herself then you thought. She was able to use her freaky powers to free herself after you didn't show up!"
A sinking feeling fell deep into my stomach. I felt so betrayed. Bubblegum was absolutely right, too. There's no other explanation.
"Yeah, I think you're right. Glob, I'm so stupid!" I shouted.
"Don't beat yourself up, Finn. You didn't know," Flame Princess comforted me. I smiled. "Thanks, FP. I guess you're right." She smiled back at me.
Jake coughed and we turned away from each other to look at him. He rose an eyebrow and we re-entered the situation.
"So, what do we do?" I asked.
"We find her. Before she does anything threatening to Ooo," Bubblegum decided.
It's hard, because I've known her so well for the past three days. I really thought I had gotten to know her.
But I guess she was lying, after all.
