I woke up feeling a little woozy. My head was throbbing, like I'd been hit with a bat or something. I slowly struggled to open my eyes. There was a bright light right in front of me.
Am I dead?
No. I'm not. Dead people can't speak. Because they're dead. I fully opened my eyes and all of a sudden, it was hard to breath. I wanted to scream but there was a tube down my throat. I couldn't hear anything but the ringing sound in my ears, and my muffled screams.
I wish I was dead...but...if I was dead...then I wouldn't be able to play hide n seek, go on adventures...or...hang out with Jake...Jake...JAKE!!!
I immediately woke up, like from a nightmare or something. I had find him, no matter what. I didn't know why but something inside of me kept telling me that I had to find...Jake!
"He's waking up!! Get the princess!!"
Who's voice was that? It sounded familiar... like I'd heard it somewhere before.
A woman came up to me, she looked VERY PINK! And smelled like bubblegum. Who was she? She seemed familiar as well.
"Its okay, you'll be fine."
My head hurts just from thinking about her. About everything. About... Jake.
Who's Jake? Who's this woman? Who...am I?
I fell asleep again. No, more like, I blacked out. Was I drugged? What's the going on?
When I awoke again, I saw the pretty woman from earlier but, she wasn't alone. Next to her stood some sort of butler that looked like a peppermint, two guards shaped like bananas, and a small, cute, green robot.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You're in the Land Of Ooo. You were found in a small boat on the sea with multiple injuries." said the pink woman.
I got up and looked around, it was clear I was in some sort of hospital. I started stretching my arms but realised, that one of them was missing. My right arm was gone.
"What happened to my right arm?" I asked.
"You were found without it. It'd had been torn off by something but, we don't know what. We did our best to stop the bleeding."
"Oh, I see. If you don't mind, may I ask, what's...my name?"
"Y-Your name? Oh yes! We found a white bear hat on your head. It had name on it. " Finn" . Maybe, that's your name." she said.
I sat quietly trying to process this. I have no memory of who I am, I'm missing an arm, there are these weird people and someone named Jake who I just can't seem to remember.
I got out of the hospital bed and slowly made my way to the exit.
"Wait?! Where are you going?" asked the green robot.
"To find out more about me. More about...Finn."
"You're still recovering. You need to take it easy or you'll open up your wounds." said the pink woman.
I looked at her face. I could tell she was concerned but, I couldn't tell why. It seemed as if she didn't know me and I most definitely didn't know her. So why? Why did she care? It didn't matter. What mattered was finding out where I came from, who I was, and more importantly, who was Jake.
"Hey, can you tell me your name"
"Oh. Sure. My name is Bonnibel Bubblegum but here, I'm known as Princess Bubblegum. This...is my candy kingdom. Everyone is this kingdom is a candy person, and I rule over them. Every last one."
"Princess? So you're like royalty?"
"That's right. Over there, the green robot is BMO! The well dressed peppermint is Peppermint Butler and those two guards are banana guards 46 and 47."
"I see. So this kingdom is full of different people."
I walked out the exit. Princess Bubblegum followed behind me with her two banana guards. She showed me around the kingdom and I saw all types of candy people. She insisted I stay in bed till I recovered but I was reluctant to do so. After a long day I returned to my hospital bed.
Princess Bubblegum pulled out a box. It had a robotic arm inside. She handed it to me and told me it would replace the one I lost. She must've had it made while I was still unconscious.
I tried it on and fit perfectly. Oddly, I didn't want my old arm back. because I had this cool robotic looking one and and I could take it off at anytime I wanted, so it wouldn't bother me much.
Later in the evening, I was escorted to a quest bedroom inside the castle. The princess wanted to keep a close eye on me and study me some more so she wanted to keep me close.
I looked through the blue backpack I was found with, and it had a lot stuff in it that I don't remember putting in. A book, "The Enchiridion". A sort of handbook or manual.
I searched through the backpack some more and found some more interesting stuff. But one thing that peaked my interest was the sword right next to the backpack. It was scarlet red with a Celtic cross on the guard. As soon as I touched it, I felt a rush. I was getting these hallucinations. But they more like...memories. But whose? Mine perhaps? There was one thing that echoed at the back of my mind. "Jake".
Who is this person and why are they so hard to forget? My head started to throb again. These memories kept flooding in bit by bit.
I went to sleep. Maybe sleeping would make me forget about the whole thing. But it didn't. Whoever this Jake person was, had something to do with me losing my memories and I need to know why.
I have to find him. I have to find...JAKE!
