"Not just a nightmare…" The voice whispered before everything fell apart.
Finn shot up in his bed, he was still half asleep when he fell down off of his bed with a thump. He looked around and saw that he was the only one in his room. He inhaled deeply but didn't sleep any sugary blood. He sighed in relief as he picked himself up.
He still wanted to make sure that the queen was safe, so Finn slowly started to make his way to the queen's room.
The queen was in her room, sleeping soundly. The battle was still going on but the kingdom was victorious; they were winning. She could sleep peacefully tonight without worrying too much about the war.
Finn nodded to each of his men as he passed by, he was pleased to see the castle well guarded.
Finn finally made it to the queen's room and slowly opened her door so he can peer into her room. He breathed in relief when he saw her all right.
She turned a little when she saw the light peering through the door. "Nmm.." She mumbled and covered her face with her blanket. Finn quickly opened her door and walked his way back to his room. He was trying to remember his dream, whatever it was it much have been horrible. He rubbed his head in thought.
The monsters in his visions crawled up the walls and walked through the guards. It looked like the candy guards were bleeding but they were speaking to each other and making jokes like nothing was wrong.
Finn shivered a little at the sight of the strange creatures walking though his men and the walls. He'll never get used to those sights.
The castle was quiet and calm. The dim lighting of the hallway was calming. Some of the staff moved busily through the hallway.
"Watch out!" Someone shouted through the halls. A group of four soldiers, two of them carrying a wounded civilian to the hospital ran right past the general almost bumping into him. The trail of dirt and blood led through the hallway. The other two stopped for a second and saluted.
"Sorry, sir!"
"No need to be sorry!" Said Finn staring down the hallway where the wounded candy person went through then looked at his two men.
"just make sure that wounded fellow is all right."
"Yes sir!" They saluted and ran off. Finn continue to walk towards his room but paused and looked down another hallway. The hallway that lead to the vault. Finn made a worried face, thinking about the time where he almost put the crown on. He needed to talk to the queen about the vault in the morning...
Finn huffed and started to walk again towards him room. Finn was more confused than freaked out. He paused and watched the odd semi see though things go by. He wondered why where this things. The visions didn't stop until he arrived at his bedroom. Finn closed and locked his door. He sat down on his bed and watched the odd spirits pop in and out of his room, wondering what's going on. The weird vision spirits seemed to be headed to the vault. Finn raised an eyebrow when the spirits were leaving. He didn't seem to be too wondered about it, he highly doubt that they would cause any trouble. He laid down in his bed and picked up a book on his nightstand to read.
a flash of light entered through the window. It seemed like morning had came awfully fast..
Unnaturally fast. There was a loud boom in the distance that shook the whole castle. Finn glanced out of the window then jumped up in his bed. That light was definitely not sunlight. That light, it was the light of a bomb that was set off! He wasn't aware that bombs were allowed, he hoped that it was a bomb and not a nuke. He needed to talk to the queen later..
The explosions woke the queen up. She ran down the hallway to her general's chambers. "Finn?" She knocked violently on the door. Finn hurried over to the door and open it.
"You heard and felt it too huh?" He asked, looking at the worried queen. "Did you allow them to use bombs and whatnots?"
"It's..it's not ours!" Her tone went up slightly. "Our men are in danger…"
Finn thought for a minute then cursed when he figured out what she meant.
"Have to get them out of there!" Said Finn, hurrying out of his room, forgetting he was in his pjs
"Finn, no! You're still recovering!" She grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
"But they are out there in danger!" Said Finn, wobbling back into his room from the mighty tug from the queen.
"You can't go!" She pulled him back to bed. After thinking a little bit she marched to the door. "I'm going out there."
"Oh nononononono!" Said Finn getting up and grabbed the queen's hand "You are much too important to this kingdom!"
'And important to me...' he thought
"My people are the priority!" She tried to let him go but couldn't. He was too strong.
"And so are my men!" Said Finn, being gentle with the queen as he didn't want her hurt again "And my job is to keep you safe too!"
There was a bit of silence before she answered. "Fine… We'll send a couple of people down to help…"
Finn stayed silent for a little longer before he let go of the queen.
"All right." He said "I just want you to be safe, I can't forgive myself if you get hurt again..."
She blushed a little. "I'll..i'll go tell some guards to go.. It'll be best if we take immediate action.."
Finn nodded and let the queen walk off, hoping she wouldn't get any ideas. He sighed, closed, and locked his door again. He returned to his bed and laid down, staring up at the ceiling.
The visions crawled back and floated all around the room. "My king…" A familiar voice called him from a distance.
"Oh not you!" Said Finn burying his face into his pillow. "Go away! I am in no mood to deal with your threats!"
"Humph. You can't make me!" He sounded almost childish today. "I'm gonna make you do stuff if you keep yelling at me!"
"You'll just do that anyways, with or without yelling..." Said Finn bluntly, looking up so he can breathe
"Come on, let's play again— you used to be such a good kid. Listening to everything i said.."
"I'm not a kid anymore!" Said Finn, rolling over onto his back "I am an adult, I don't play games anymore.".
"Aww, come on… I thought adults liked to be powerful."
"Not this one no." Said Finn, getting annoyed with the teen. He was so annoying and demanding!
The door opened and the queen walked in. "Finn? I heard talking. You alright?"
"Is hearing sentient voices all right?" Asked Finn looking over to the queen.
"No. And i think you know that already.."
Finn just sighed and looked up at the ceiling, feeling stressed, All he want right now is some quiet and nothing to worry about. No war to worry about, no spirits, and no voices trying to drive him crazy.
"It'll be alright.." The queen noticed the worried look on his face and took a seat next to him.
He looked so tired, so stressed.. The queen gave her general a hug. Hopefully this will make him feel a little better..
Finn hugged the queen when she embraced him, trying comfort in the arms of his most beloved.
"I just hope it will be..." Said Finn, feeling all of his stress and worries crash onto him right now.
"It'll all be alright.." She blushed and placed her hand on his cheeks. She leaned in closer, her sweet pink lips just inches away from his. So close..
