Fionna had been running for a little over an hour. She was just short of having a heart attack it felt like but her adrenaline kept her running. Coming upon the mouth of the cave Marceline's house was in she increased her pace, she sprinted across the wet dirt getting mud on her white sock and her legs. She heard her name called from behind her, she turned to see Bonnibel jump off of a giant eagle at the mouth of the cave. Fionna sprinted across and jumped the steps that led up Marceline's porch. She grabbed the door knob but the door didn't budge, frowning she ran back down the steps and sprinted back up ramming her shoulder into the door frame with all her weight. The door gave slightly, Fionna repeated this three times before she smashed through the door. Splinters went everywhere, a few sticking into her arm. Fionna stumbled and landed hard on the worn carpet. She was dazed when she felt someone helping her up, with a shake of her head she came to and saw it was Bonnibel.
Fionna and Bonnibel jumped to hear the sound of someone hitting another person from across the room. They looked in horror to see Marceline lying on the ground unconscious with Ash standing above her, hitting her repeatedly.
Bonnibel screamed shocking Fionna, Bonnibel rushed forwards and tackled Ash. The disgruntled man barely moved and pushed her aside. This was when Fionna knew she had to do something.
She lunged at him, he wasn't paying attention because of Bonnibel's pre-emptive strike. She hit him at his knees and he came crumbling on top of her. What little breath she had was knocked out of her and the two grappled as they rolled along the floor. Fionna was definitely in shape compared to this man. The only reason she could hold her own against this full grown male is because he was so… squishy. His body was lethargic and his gut hung out, his arms were wobbly too. Fionna rolled on top of him trying to pin him down, he forced his feet under her legs and kicked her off.
Bonnibel recovered from her fall, seeing Fionna fight off Ash, it didn't even register to help. She had to get to Marceline. The girl lay unconscious not too far from where she was. Bonnibel gulped down her fear and crawled quickly to Marceline. She didn't realize she was crying until she tasted it. She wiped her face and grabbed the body of the girl she was in love with. Cradling Marceline Bonnibel tried to shake her awake. With all the lumps on her head Bonnibel knew she was out for a while. Bonnibel jumped, startled and pulled back into reality when she heard the crash.
Ash and Fionna had been wrestling about the floor while Bonnibel was pre-occupied. Fionna had taken out her sword, she didn't want to unless she felt her life was threatened and at this point she knew the man wasn't going to give up. She pointed it at him, he paused and she smiled thinking she had the upper hand. The man moved quick though, she was so startled because never in their little brawl had he shown such agility. He threw the bottle he had and hit her in the chest. It knocked her back and in those few seconds he grabbed the hilt of her sword, shoving hard against her chest, where the bottle had hit her. She stumbled back but lost the grip on her sword. The man had it now and he lunged at her. Time nearly stopped for her, she slowly watched the sword come towards her. She saw the evil in the mans eye's. She recognized the evil, it was the same as the evil in the man's eyes who tortured her and Kipper. She closed her own eyes, she didn't want her last image to be the man's evil eyes. She felt the tip of the blade at her collar bone. Behind her eyes she saw Finn, the poor boy was in love with her and now she was going to break his heart and leave him. Finn…, Finn. Finn!
Her eyes snapped open, she felt the blade pierce the top layer of skin and she moved her arm quick. She crossed it under the sword pushing up she twisted her arm to grab the hilt and yank it out of the man's hand and send it sailing across the room. That move Finn taught her had saved her life, though her arm had a spiral slash on it and was bleeding freely.
The man hesitated and Fionna took the opportunity to punch him square in the face, he flew back and hit the tv. His body smashed harsh against the glass and he fell to the ground. As well as the tv and all the lit candles on top of it.
