Rise of Evil Flame Princess

Chapter Four

Finn went deeper into the forest to search for fruits to eat. He knew he mustn't leave Marceline behind, but if he doesn't hunt for food now, they both will starve and die.

He was lucky to find some fresh berries and cherries to pick. He realized he doesn't have anything to put the fruits in, since his pack got destroyed during his encounter with "Evil Flame Princess", so he just used his hat and tied the corners together. He put them in and went off to the journey back to Marceline.

He was halfway around the bend when a frightened deer had bumped into him, and the impact sent them both flying into the air.

"OW! What the-" Finn rubbed his sore head that had gotten hit a bunch of times that week. Then he noticed the deer. "Hey, why were you running? Was someone chasing you?"

"SHE'S HERE..." the deer answered, and then trembling, she took off into the opposite road. Before Finn could even respond, she was gone.

"Who "she"...?" he asked himself, picking up his "hat bag". Then his nose picked up the scent of...burning wood. There was smoke floating around him.

"Ugh, great. Now she's enslaving innocent forest animals? What does that bitch want to prove?!" he said crossly, and made his way to the source of the smoke.

Sure enough, the fire jerk was there. She was wrecking havoc...AGAIN. As usual when he encountered her...

"FLAME PRINCESS!"

She turned around and saw him. Then grinned sadistically.

"Ah, Finn..." she said, hissing. "...what an amazing coincidence. I thought after all of THIS you would start avoiding me, but I was proved wrong...

"You still want my flames after all..."

"Shut up you jerk!" Finn said, wielding his Demon Sword. "I don't LIKE you any more!"

"But you said you liked my fireballs, didn't you?" she asked, smiling like mad. "I'll see if you'll still like them now!"

She shot fireballs at Finn, Finn dodging these and using the sword to protect himself. But Flame Princess wasn't giving up so easily. She shot MORE fireballs, some managing to hit Finn, causing him to scream in pain.

"How do you like them now, bastard?" she asked mockingly.

"Why are you doing this?! Go to hell you-" he managed to say before getting hit by another fireball.

"Oh, but doesn't fire elementals like that?"

"Why ARE you DOING THIS!?" he asked again, and grabbed his water bottle tied to his belt. He opened it and splashed water on the burning lady.

"OW!" Flame Princess fell onto the ground. She was now light grey in color.

"Like that? There's more where that came from!" Finn asked, grinning.

But then...something happened.

Flame Princess coughed, then opened her eyes. Her eyes were now orange...

"Finn?" she asked, confused. "Finn, why are you doing this to me? Help me..."

"Flame Princess..." he edged toward her, but then she fired up again, and he SAW her eyes turn crimson red.

"Flame Princess!" he shouted. "I know there's still a good side left in you! Where is the Flame Princess I knew?"

"SHE WAS LONG GONE!" she snapped back, then sent his leg burning.

Finn felt a tear roll down his cheek, but it wasn't caused by the pain...

It was caused by the sorrow...

"Jake was right. I should have listened to him. But I though that if I were good I could turn you to be good..."

"Well, who do you think you are, the archbishop of Candleburning or something? Thought you could ask me to be a saint?"

"I never should have met you. You just brought..." he mumbled, wiping his eyes with his arm. "...pain...sorrow...suffering...

"Is that truly your purpose? I know fire elementals' purpose was to burn, but is this really you?"

Flame Princess' eyes turned orange, her flames grew lighter but smaller and less violent.

"Finn, I...this evil...the voices...they're messing me...up..."

"Just come back to me. I want the real you!"

"Finn...remember that time we first met...?"

Finn looked up and saw the face of an innocent girl...something he didn't see since last time.

"What? I mean...yeah..." he answered. "Why?"

"I told you before that time... "Even if we like each other, we're going to-"

"-hurt each other. I know..."

"Finn. You mustn't come near me. I'll just...kill you..." Flame Princess whispered, pain in her voice. Then she morphed into a fireball, and glided away, leaving Finn behind.

"Bye Finn..."

So I reuploaded this and thought I should fix typographical errors. Also responses to the reviews:

Marceline of the Nightosphere: Heh, that my friend is a spoiler question. ;) You'll find out soon enough though.

xxangelsflyxx: ;) Who knows, I might.

Devil's-Butterfly-Maid: Yeah, I know. D: Why am I SO evil? I hate myself.

Show must go on though. And of course you should've known by now that if you don't see an "end of chapter" before the A/N, you get to see MORE.

Thank me later folks. ;)

Finn reached their camp, and met an astonishing sight. At first he thought he was dreaming, or hallucinating, and he even rubbed his eyes in wonder. But there is NO wonder that this is real. But how could it be? And what is this he is seeing?

It was Marceline talking to Jake.
