Also I have something important to tell you at the end of this chapter! Anyways I'm gonna try my hardest to make this chapter long, so enjoy!
Marshall's POV
When I woke up Fionna was still cocooned in the bed covers. I smiled and floated away to the closet. I went into the bathroom next to the bedroom and turned on the showerhead. To my surprise water came out of the taps, I grabbed a towel and jumped in. After 10 minutes I got out and went back to the room and went to the closet; I changed into fresh clothes; a grey flannel and ripped blue jeans. I pulled on my red converse and floated over a chair to wait for Fionna to wake up, not wanting to disturb her sleep. Especially not after everything we had gone through.
Fionna's POV
~ I was outside at night, I was running, I was running from the monster that wanted to kill me. It was coming after me and fast, I was tired and out of breath but I kept running. I ran into the forest and I glanced back, it was gaining on me. I ran faster but I tripped on a thick root and fell. I rolled and back-crawled back and back until I was pushed up against a thick tree. My head was bleeding from the fall and my heart was pounding, I wanted to scream but my voice was gone. The monster came closer; it had a humanoid figure and a long black hooded jacket, I could see red dripping from its lips. I pressed myself further into the tree trying to melt into it. The figure came even closer so we could have shared breath, if it had any. I still couldn't see its face. I looked up at it and I couldn't look away as it lifted its hood. Its hood pulled back revealed glowing red eyes and sharp white fangs. Raven black hair was in a mess on its head. It had an evil smile on its face; it was towering over me now. "Wh why are you doing this?" I asked trying to lean away though there was nowhere to lean away to. It bent down so it was face to face with me. "Because I'm Marshall Lee and I'm your worst nightmare." ~
I shot up in bed screaming my head off. In an instant Marshall was beside me. "Fionna are you…" He began. I screamed at the sight of him and kicked out my legs getting stuck under the covers, I fell off the other side of the bed tangled in blankets. I breathed in and out trying to calm myself down. 'He won't hurt me, he's not evil, and his mom was my nightmare. It was his mom! Not him, not him…' I thought. I calmed down and took my head out from under the covers. Marshall was floating over me with a worried look on his face. "Fionna are you alright, what happened?" He asked reaching out for my hand and pulling me up. "I'm ok…it was just a…a bad dream," I said. He didn't look convinced. I changed the subject. "So what's our plan?" I asked. He eyed me once more before answering. "Well before we do anything we kinda have to go to the Nightosphere to get Bree-Bree out of jail." He said scratching the back of his neck. "Ok," I said. "But…you…you don't understand," he said his hands behind his back. "What? Do you mean like dangerous stuff? Because I have 17 years of experience fighting dangerous stuff." I said putting a hand on my hip. He frowned "Fionna…my…my mother lives in the Nightosphere." I froze. My nightmares came back to me pictures flashing in my head, that voice that would threaten me and describe the horrible things it would do to me. "Fionna I will protect you, my mother can't touch my stuff or interfere with what I want to do. All she can do is persuade me to do stuff. It's kind of a Royal agreement. Fionna trust me." He said looking desperately into my eyes. I took a deep breath and let the memories go pushing all the evil thoughts away. I nodded and said "Ok Marshall I trust you," I took his hand and smiled. He smiled back. "Ok we have to open a portal to the Nightosphere, I'll get the stuff from downstairs you can change into whatever you want I guess. That closet has girl clothes too, so pick what you want ok," he said heading for the door. I was about to ask him why he had girl's clothing in his old closet but he was gone. I shook my head and opened the closet; I pushed the hangers with Marshall's stuff out of the way revealing about 6 hangers with girl's clothes on them. It was mostly black skirts and tube tops, but there was some decent stuff; a long-ish red tank top and black skinny jeans. It wasn't really my style but it was all I had to wear that was clean. I sighed and checked that the door was closed, then I took off the Marshall Lee and The Horror Kings T-shirt and my blue skirt, then I put on the fresh clothes. I took off my bunny hat and let my hair run just past my butt. Just then I heard the doorknob turn and Marshall stepped inside. He looked at me and noticed my hat off. He looked dumbfounded, and then he smiled and made his way towards me. I blushed as he put his arm around my waist. "What?" I asked as he hugged me running his hands through my hair. "I've never seen you with your hat off, you're so cute," he smiled. I smiled and made for my hat to put it on. "Oh no you don't," he said snatching the hat from the floor and holding it out of my reach. "Hey! Marshall give it back!" I demanded. "No way! Your way to pretty with your hat off!" Marshall said floating up a little more. I jumped up to grab it and he caught my wrist and pulled me onto his back. I finally got my hat back; I strapped it on and crossed my arms. "Ha!" I said triumphantly. I did a flip off of him to the floor. He laughed then walked over to the little table by the door. He gathered the things he had collected from downstairs and set them on the floor near a wall. "Are you sure you want to do this Fi?" He asked. I nodded and quick flash of the voice sounded in my mind. "As soon as you step out of your guard, I'll have your soul." I shivered, and then nodded more confidentially. "I have to face her, or it'll never leave me alone," I said. Marshall nodded a little, he seemed uncertain but I didn't think anything of it. Marshall drew a circle with a happy face in the center on the wall. Then he splashed bug milk on it. Then he chanted 'Moloso Yobet con et cum spiritum!' He finished and stood still. Nothing happened, but then the ground shook and everything turned red, and a huge crack opened up in the wall. Inside was a terrible sight; the ground was fire and there was screaming coming from everywhere. Anywhere there was land it was burnt grass or a rocky cliff. The sky was a burnt red colour with one huge red ball of fire for the sun. There were hoards of demons everywhere crowded into packs on the little rock islands. Horrific creatures that were cut in half walked along in the fire. Other Indescribable creatures walked along. I trembled a little at the sight of it. "Fi, you don't have to come if you can't handle it," Marshall said worriedly looking down at me. "I can handle anything!" I said taking a step forward. "That's the Fi I know," Marshall said smiling as he took my hand. I smiled back hiding the deep gut-wrenching fear inside me. I breathed in then out then said "Let's go." We walked side by side into the Nightosphere, the portal closing behind us.
