"GENERAL FINN, SIR!" A guard burst through the door and slammed it against the wall. The queen jumped and let him go, scooting away from Finn a little bit.

She got up and cleared her throat, hoping the guard didn't notice her red cheeks. "What.. What is it?" She asked.

Finn's face turned red when they were so close to kiss. He too jumped when the door slammed open. Most likely the guard with see his face as red as cherry but he didn't mind it at all. The fact that the queen almost kissed him cheered him up great. Maybe the queen liked him more than he thought!

"what is it?" He asked, standing up.

"You.. You have to come see this…" His face was a little pale. Finn looked at the queen then he followed the guard.

"Tell me what happened..." Said Finn in a serous tone.

The queen walked beside her general. "Please explain.."

"Well.. General finn, sir, do you remember that civilian we brought to the hospital yesterday?" The guard spoke calmly.

"Yes...?" Asked Finn, unsure about where is this going. "Not too long ago really. What's wrong with that fellow?"

"He has information about the wizards. He said something about them planning to attack.."

"W-what?!" barked Finn, speeding up his pace. "This could be useful..."

"Yes." The guard replied, placing his hand on the door. "But we have to be gentle.."

He opened the hospital room door to reveal a candy citizen all wrapped up with bandages and breathing heavily. He didn't seem so stable… The queen gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. How could she let this happen?

Finn gasped himself and balled his hands into fists. He took a minute to relax a little before he slowly approach the candy citizen.

"H-hello?" Asked Finn in his most gentle voice.

The citizen didn't take it well. He began screaming and yelling.

"Holy-" Finn darted out of the room totally confused. He knew that if candy people were scared enough they...

"Do something before he explodes!"

"Finn!" She glared at him for a second.

"Shh, it's alright.." The queen approached the screaming candy citizen. She pet him a few times on the head and let him rest. "Calm down.. You'll be okay."

"I'm sorry!" Said Finn, raising his hands up and looking guilty. "I just didn't want to stress him out any more! He seems very frighten..."

"It's alright. Please stop yelling." She took a seat next to the candy citizen. "You're safe. It'll be alright."

The candy guy seemed a little calmer now. He smile weakly and bowed to the queen.

Finn didn't move from the doorway.

"I think it's best if I stay here..." Said Finn "Because it seemed I triggered something and I don't want to frighten him again."

"The guards said you had something to tell us.. what is it?" The queen asked gently to the candy citizen.

"W..well.. It's.." He shuddered. "The wizards.. Attack.. To..today.." His breathing was weird. "Plans to.. Sneak..in…the castle through… Through…." He began shaking violently again. His sentence was cut off and he began to throw a tantrum. The queen backed up a bit.

"The wizards are attacking.." She mumbled.

"What?!" Yepped Finn then he grabbed the guard next to him.

"Call all of the men into the castle and start searching for any wizards that got in!"

After he left go of the guard, he turned to the queen.

"I need you to stay with me Bonnibel, your safety is my top priority!"

"Y—yes sir!" The guard ran out of the room.

"Alright. We have to seal all entrances first.. We don't want anyone to come in or, if they're already here, escape." She walked out and gestured finn to follow her. "We have to warn the people and the guards."

"Sounds like a plan." Said Finn, following the queen out and closed the door.

"where should we start?"

"Any guard we see.. This is an emergency. We need to warn the people too."

Finn nodded at the queen's words. As they continued down the hallways, Finn warned any and all candy people and guards about the oncoming threat.

Finn watched the event unfolding before him as he followed the queen around. He carefully looked around as they traveled from place to place. She gathered the citizens at the main hall and announced about the attack. The candy people each went to a room and waited patiently for the lockdown to be over.

The queen ordered all guards to be on lookout. She stayed at the hall with multiple guards and her general. The room was dimly lit and gave off a little eerie mood.

Finn sat beside the queen in the lockdown room. He kind of wished the light was brighter but he didn't mind it as long as he can see what's around him.

The wizards snuck in through the air vent and made their way to the deepest parts of the castle. A magical dog stood as a leader of the mission. People say the dog could stretch into enormous sizes or to be tiny.

They made their way to the vault. One of them grabbed the icy artifact thinking it was very interesting and valuable. Maybe he could sell it after this war..

The crown smirked.

—***crappy scene change mark b/c i am lazy***—

"Finn, where do you think they'll attack through?" The queen asked cautiously, almost whispering to him.

Finn shivered as he felt cold. He can only hear the whispers of the candy people and sometimes the war outside.

Upon hearing the queen's question, He turned and looked at her.

"Most likely the vents..." Said Finn, remembering his escape in the wizard's base "They probably make themselves smaller to fit..."

"Probably…" She responded and spaced out. She watched the air vent with a blank gaze and emptied her mind. Finn followed the queen's gaze upwards to the vents and he too started to drift off

There was a loud crash in the distance and a feminine scream. The sound of a door shutting and a few more screaming could be heard near the areas where the citizens took shelter.

"Finn!" The queen jumped up from her seat and grabbed his wrist, gesturing him to come with her there.

He jumped when he heard the crash then the scream. He looked around the room

"What the..." He muttered then he felt the queen grabbing his wrist. He obeyed and followed he out of the room with two of the dozen guards following them.

Choco berry was at the hallway, being comforted by a few other candy citizens. Some of the doors were broken down and some were damaged. Nobody seemed to be injured.

"The.. the wizards! They crashed into her room and went that way!" Ice cream boy pointed to the hallway that leads to the lab. Finn looked over the frighten candy people. He was glad to see they were not hurt but at the same time mad that the wizards scared them so much.

"get to the safety of the lockdown room, ok?" Said Finn as he was tugged away with the queen. He soon match the pace of the queen.

"Come on!" The queen began running down the hallway, pulling on finn's wrist.

"Where are they heading too?" he asked the queen.

"I'm not sure.. Maybe to the dining room and…" She stopped and turned around. "They're headed to the main hall! They're taking the long way. Come on, we have to get back!"

"But what happens if they gotten something important!" Asked Finn looking back at the hallway the wizards took a while ago as he was tugged along.

"This way is faster if we want to capture them." She dragged him along, taking over the walkie-talkie with the guards back at the hall.

"Make sure we can trap the enemy when they walk in." She half-whispered into the device.

Finn nodded and quickly matched the queen's pace. He looked around around them, trying to see anyone that might be near them.

"What should we do?" Asked Finn

"Take out your weapon." She said in a commanding tone. "Anything can happen from here."

Finn drew his sword he always keeps with him. He looked around as they continued to walk.

"Alright.. Almost there…" There was a flash of golden yellow color and a clanging noise. The queen fell to the floor and something cold landed on the general's head.

"Hello, my king…" The icy voice whispered.
