Bubblegum's P.O.V

I'm suddenly surrounded by the walls of LSP's castle; I must be having that dream again. This time it looks and feels different. I look around to see Marceline standing there with her back towards me, the sound of a heartbeat echo's throughout the walls. My mind quickly flashes back to the sight of Marceline lying on the ground and I can't help but shutter at the sight. Suddenly my body lunges forward as I approach Marceline. With every step I take, the heartbeat becomes louder and faster, causing fear to creep up inside me. I try and stop my body from moving forwards but it seems as if I can't control my legs anymore. Suddenly I stop around five feet from Marceline as my heart is pounding from fear. I feel the fear leave my body as Marceline turns around and smiles at me. There is something different looking in her eyes, they look… Not empty. I feel my heart skip a beat as I stumble to speak.

"Marcy…" Before I can continue a sudden flash of light blinds me, causing me to shield my eyes. Once it is gone I open my eyes to find that I am in the hospital room, but this time the atmosphere has changed, it's more happy and lively than before. I look around and find that it's only Marceline and me in the room, but this time Marceline's eyes are open and she is looking right at me.

"Marceline?" I ask as I stand up slowly, studying wither this is a dream or not. I pinch my arm secretly and the pain makes me realize that this is the furthest thing from a dream.

"Hey Bonnie." I hear her say with a small smirk. I suddenly find myself unable to control myself, as I bound forwards and place my lips on hers. At first she cringes when I kiss her, then she slowly melts into it. I pull away and looked into her eyes. I am unable to read her expression; it's a mix of pain, happiness and sadness. Suddenly I realize that Marceline's father isn't in the room.

"Where's your father?" I ask cautiously. She looks down for a moment before answering my question.

"He had stuff to do." She says nearly whispered. The look of sadness flashes on her face once more. Seeing her lying there, with wires hooked up to her, and the beeping of a heart monitor in the background, which should never beep. It all just breaks my heart. I grab her hand and give it a small squeeze as I watch her intently. She seems focused on something, but I am too scared to press the matter. Suddenly she recoils in pain as the heart monitor spikes. I jump up, ready to get a doctor but she quickly stops me. "The doctor said that this is going to happen a lot until I get completely better." She says before she clutches her chest as the monitor spikes again. This continue to happen for what feels like forever before the monitor calms down and Marceline begins to breathe heavily, recovering from the pain. "I'll be okay Bonnie." She says through heavy breath. I bite my lip as I try and decide wither or not to get the doctor. After a few moments she finally relaxes back into the bed and wipes a sweat of bead from her forehead.

"Is everything alright?" I ask suddenly. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I say quickly after.

"I don't know Bonnie." She says slowly. "I don't know what I'm feeling. My father told me the truth after hundreds of years but I still blame myself for my mother's death."

"He explained everything to me Marcy; it really isn't your fault. You can't blame yourself for something that couldn't be stopped." I say as I intertwine our fingers. I hear the monitor spike again but this time Marceline doesn't react to it. "Marceline doesn't that hurt?" I ask as I look back at the now spiking monitor and then back at her.

"I am just numb right now." She says as a tear escapes and runs down her face. I quickly wipe it off her face. The monitor continues to spike as Marceline continues to not react to the pain she should feel.

"I'm going to get a doctor." I say quickly as turn to go get one. Suddenly I feel a hand grasp my arm and pull me back.

"Stay Bonnie… Please, I'm scared." She says as tears continue to steam down her face. Suddenly she coughs and specs of blood come out. Suddenly her eyes begin to flutter shut as the monitor spikes some more. Just as she closes her eyes, I am out the door screaming for help.
