Authors note: So this chapter was hard to write. I'm still not sure that I like it all that much, but I guess its ok. I didn't have much inspiration to write it, so I ended up writing it over the week. Anyways I hope you enjoy.

Fionna
In awe, she saw Marshall fall into Hannah's arms. "Since you're a friend of Marshall's, I won't kill you. I will be leaving now that I have him." Hannah said.
"No! Please wait!" Fionna yelled. She jumped and rapped her arms around Hannah's waist. She couldn't let Hannah take Marshall. Marshall belonged in this world, with her. She couldn't lose him. She just couldn't.
"Get off of me, child!" Hannah said, throwing her up against a wall. "What makes you think that you can touch me?"
"Please! I'll do anything as long as Marshall can stay here!" Fionna said. She hoped that her voice sounded strong, although she probably looked like she was just a child.
"You would make a deal with the queen of evil, to keep Marshall here?" Hannah asked, curiosity filling her voice.
"Fionna, watch it." Cake said. Cake was worried about her, but right now all that mattered was keeping Marshall here.
"Yes! Yes, what do you want? As long as Marshall can stay here with me I'll do anything." she said, this time knowing that her voice sounded strong.
"Then that's it." Hannah said. "If you want Marshall to stay here then you must stay with him forever. The longest you may stay away from him is a week. If you stay away longer then a week, he will be brought back to the Nightosphere. It will be like that forever."
"But I'm not immortal." she said.
"Who do you think I am? I can easily make you immortal. I'll make your cat immortal too." Hannah said.
"Can you give me some time to talk with Cake before I answer? I want to make sure it's ok with her." she asked.
"You have an hour." Hannah said, and with that she was gone.
"Oh Fionna, what have you gotten us into?" Cake asked. She was still on the ground. Cake wrapped her arms around her. She leaned into the furry feline, close to tears.
"I'm sorry Cake. I have to do this, though. I didn't protect Marshall when I should have. I need to save him now." she said.
"Fionna, just face it, you're in love with Marshall. Besides, I think it's for the best. Everyone else is immortal here. Just think of it this way, we get to spend time with our friends forever now." Cake said, hugging her tighter.
"I do love Marshall. I love him a lot, but I don't think I could be with Marshall because of what happened with Flame Prince." she said. The tears were really coming close to tears now. She begged them to stay inside.
"Not everyone will be like Flame Prince. He's not going to betray you like Flame Prince is. You can trust Marshall. He may be the king of the vampires, but my cat feelings make me believe he's good for you. You need to let Flame Prince go." Cake said. The tears finally streamed down her face. She knew Cake was right. It was time to move on. First things first though, she had to prepare to face Hannah again.
After an hour of asking Cake if she looked tough, Hannah finally came back. Marshall was behind her, awake. He was in chains, but not normal ones. These ones were covered on enchantments. Looking closer at Marshall, she saw that he looked exhausted. The enchantments were draining his strength. "Fionna what did you do?" he asked.
"I have an answer for you Hannah." she said, completely ignoring Marshall. She was looking at Hannah, hoping Hannah could see the hatred in her eyes.
"What is your decision?" Hannah asked, smiling in her anger.
"I'll do it." she said.
"Fionna what are you giving up?" Marshall asked. "I don't want you to get hurt just to keep me here."
"Then it is done." Hannah said. She was also ignoring Marshall. She pointed at Cake first, and with a gasp, Cake fell to the ground. She was about to rush over to Cake, when Hannah pointed at her. She felt a sudden pain. She fell to the ground. It felt like every one of her cells were dying, but within a second, she didn't feel the pain anymore. She looked up at Hannah, who was laughing. "See you in an eternity." With that Hannah left, leaving the three of them behind.
"Fionna, what did you do?" Marshall asked, rushing over to her. He didn't have the chains on anymore, but he still looked tired.
"In order to keep you in this world, I had to stay with you forever. Hannah made Cake and me immortal. If I leave you for more than a week, then you will be pulled back into the Nightosphere." she said, gasping. She was still sore from Hannah's spell.
"Why?" he asked, falling on his knees next to her. "You're lucky that you didn't have to give up more. You shouldn't have done it."
"You're saying that is shouldn't have saved you?" she asked.
"Not if it meant making a deal with Hannah. You should have left me there." Marshall said.
"I couldn't have done that." she said.
"Why? Why couldn't you have just left me there?" Marshall asked, almost yelling.
"Because I love you. I couldn't have just left you there, knowing that I could have helped you." she said.
Marshall looked at her in shock. "You what?" he asked. "Did you just say that you loved me?" She nodded. He reached over and pulled her to him. He wrapped her arms around her and squeezed. "Well, I think I love you too. It's just a guess, though." Marshall said, sounding very cocky. "Anyways, it looks like I'm staying at your place, considering that my house is in ruins."
"I guess that's fine." said Cake from behind them. "Just don't make a mess of my house or I'll be all over you like butter on bread. Come on let's get back, it'll be sunrise soon."
She and Marshall stood up together, and walked out of the house, ready for a new life.
Just a quick note, this is not the end. I will be doing more chapters, and I already have lots of ideas. I would show them, but you know, I don't want to put in any spoilers. *Insert picture of River Song.* See you guys in the next chapter!
