They were tumbling for a while on the ground and Fionna clawed at him furiously like a crazed thing, and Finn just kept trying to pin her down. Neither one was getting anywhere, and Fionna didn't have time to grab her sword from her back.
Fionna couldn't help thinking that almost every time one of them had spoken it seemed they had both launched into a physical battle. How on earth were they supposed to get anywhere together without trying to cut each others throats?
This gave her an idea though. As Finn tried to push her off she was able to grab one of the tiny blades at her hip. It allowed Finn to pin her, but she had the knife at his neck by the time she was down.
"I win." She growled, poking him with the knife.
"No, that's cheating." He said stubbornly.
"We didn't even make up any rules!" She hissed, frustrated.
"You can't just spring a knife at me!" He said back defensively.
"We never said that! Now get off me or I'll slit your throat." She growled menacingly, pushing the knife closer into his skin, making the tiniest cut.
"No!" He said annoyingly. Fionna couldn't believe him. He had a knife at his neck and he was refusing her?
"What do you mean no!" She yelled at him. "Get off or I'll cut you, there is no argument!"
"Well I just argued. I'm not moving until you admit I won." He growled back at her.
"You have got to be joking! I could kill you!" she practically screeched, unable to comprehend this person's stubbornness.
"Come on, you wont kill me." He said plainly. He looked at her with confidence, but under her glare he seemed a bit more questioning. "Would you?" He asked tentatively.
"You won't know until you GET OFF ME." She said through her teeth. But Finn resumed his stubbornness and scowled down at her like a child.
"I won! Now-AAHHHH!" He couldn't finish, Fionna had stabbed him in the hand with the knife. He remained over her, trying to keep her down before she overpowered him as the pain distracted his body.
She grabbed the sword from her back, and kicking him to the ground placed one foot on his chest, and held the sword to his chin. He was clutching his hand as the blood trickled down, his face contorted in pain and fury. He opened his eyes to glare at her.
"What the HELL!" He yelled, squeezing his hand where the blade was still stuck.
"This is over, I won." She said, trying to sound victorious, but inside she felt guilty as she watched him pull the blade out and clutch at the wound.
"Dear Glob! Alright you won now please let me do something about this!" He said agonized. Satisfied, she threw her sword to her back and took her foot off his chest. He growled at the pain and tried to use his free hand to rummage through his pockets and satchels. He wasn't able to get very far before he cringed at the pain and dropped whatever he was holding. Fionna felt the guilt rip at her insides, and tried to ignore it. She didn't really know this person, he had been stalking her for who knows how long, and he had basically tried to kill her. She didn't need to feel anything for him.
And yet….
When she looked at his face all she saw was a kind of sweetness. A kindness and familiarity that made her feel close to him.
No. that was only because he was another human. No, not even that, he said he was a human. What if he wasn't even human? What if he had just said that and he was some mutant that was going to kill her and suck out her soul so he could appear to be more human?
Calm down.
The voice in her head boomed over her dark thoughts.
He's just a boy, just like you.
She took a deep breath and kneeled beside him. His face was contorted in pain, but he was controlling it. He was clumsily trying to wrap cloth around the deep cut. She reached for his hand and he jerked back, alarmed.
"Easy, you're doing it wrong." She said gently, knowing how if felt to be in terrible pain. You feel vulnerable, helpless, scared.
"Let me help you." She said in the same soothing voice. Gradually, he allowed her to take his bloody hand, wincing terribly as she did so. She examined it for a moment, and reached into her belt, pulling out a leaf. She placed it in her mouth and began to chew it, before taking the chewed up bit from her tongue and placing them in the cut.
"What are you doing?" He asked, horrified.
"Its and herb, it will help with the pain." But she could already see his face relaxing. He gave her complete control over the hand now. She continued to place the remaining herb on the wound, and began wrapping it in the cloth he had tried before. She secured it tightly, and let go of it.
He was still lying on his back, and now his eyes were closed. He seemed to be in a kind of dazed state at the relieved pain. She let him lay there as she watched him closely.
There was definitely something about his face that made her want to trust him, but she didn't know why. Here he was, lying on the ground before her completely exposed, but he wasn't afraid of her. Even after she had just stabbed him.
"Why do you trust me?" She said suddenly, unable to hold in the burning curiosity. He turned his head and opened one eye to look at her.
"I don't know, I just do." He said in a weary voice.
"Come on, I could kill you right now and you're just lying there. Why do you trust me?" He opened both eyes and stared at her. She met his gaze, unable to look away.
"Cant you just trust someone without a real reason?" He asked, interested by her question.
"You can't just trust someone for no reason, that's how people die!" She said exasperated.
"No, that's instinct. I trust you because I feel safe right now, at this moment. I trust you because I can tell you won't hurt me...well anymore." He added, looking down at the hand.
"Well my instinct is to never trust a stranger until you really know them, and you don't know me at all, and if you're willing to trust a complete stranger-
"You're not a compete stranger, I feel like I already know you." He said calmly, interrupting her.
She looked at him, shocked. She didn't really understand.
"But you don't know me." She said stupidly.
"I know, but if you give me a chance I could." He said gently, giving her a tentative smile. She watched him for a while, contemplating what she should do.
"Can I ask you about your life?" Fionna finally asked.
"Yes, but in return can I know a little about you?" He asked bravely.
She thought for a moment about this. He would be giving her personal information, she supposed she could give him some.
"Alright I guess….So where do you come from?" She asked quickly.
"Land of Ooo, far away place." He said just as quickly.
"Have you ever met another human?" She asked eagerly.
"No, except maybe this one time when I was young, but its complicated." He said, thinking back to the memory.
"Oh, well….is that why you were following me?" She asked, mostly because she didn't know what to say.
"Yeah, I've been tracking you for like a year. I actually followed you a few days ago to this castle, it was weirdly familiar, and I tried get some information out of this guy I though you knew, Prince Gumball, right?" He said. Fionna's eyes widened, and she grabbed his shirt roughly.
"What did you say to him? What did you do?" She asked coldly.
"Its ok, I didn't hurt them, all I did was-
"I thought you said it was just one person!" She said, horrified. How much did this person already know about her? What had he done to her friends?
"There was this one boy who came, I wasn't expecting him, but they both seemed to be your friends, and I swear I didn't hurt them." He said sheepishly. Fionna was furious.
"You followed me to my friend's home, a place I tried to keep safe for as long as I've lived, and you actually talked to him? You talked to them about me? You let them believe that some lunatic man who just bursts into castles was after me? Why would you DO that?" She said in a dangerous voice.
"Look, I had lost your trail, I didn't know where you were, I saw you talk to that Prince, I was desperate!" He said defensively. She let go of his shirt and stood up, rubbing her head.
"You have no idea how hard I have worked to make sure that place was safe, that no one would hurt my friends, that they would be ok while I stayed away from them." She said quietly. "And then you just show up, what are they supposed to make of all that?" She said, turning back to him. She resisted the urge to stab him again.
"Please, I'm sorry Fionna-
"Don't call me that! My friends call me that! You are not my friend!" She yelled.
"Your friends are fine, they're not hurt, no one followed me-
"Who was the other one." She said, cutting him off.
"I don't know, he was younger than me and you, dark hair, I think he was a vampire actually." He said, trying to sound calm.
"Marshall…" She whispered to herself.
"Who?" Finn asked, overhearing her.
"Shut up! Get on your feet." She said angrily. She didn't know what she was doing.
"Look, I'm sure everything's fine." He said, trying to reason with her.
"Everything is not fine! How can I go back there now! How can I go back to the one place where everyone I love is when it was so easy for someone to follow me and find them? How can I face them knowing I would only be putting them in danger?" She yelled, feeling hot tears trying to break free. She blinked them back.
"No one followed me, I couldn't even follow you, the only way I knew you were there is because I saw you climbing that tower! I was following you for months! Please, I was so desperate to meet you, I didn't meant to hurt you!" He said pleadingly as he rose to his feet.
"My friends, everyone I know, everyone I care about, I've put them in danger for too long." She whispered, turning her back to him.
"This is my fault then, not yours! Just go back and tell them." He said, taking a step towards her. She turned on him fiercely.
"I can never go back there now! Don't you get it? It's not safe anymore!" She yelled. A tear fell, and she brushed it away angrily.
"Stop saying that! So I went there! So I talked to two people, it's not the end of everything!" He said, not understanding.
"It is for me!" She yelled, shoving him back as he tried to come closer. "You expect those two people to just let it go that some human was there looking for me? They probably told everyone! And if other people know I was there, than anyone could know I was there!" She grabbed her sword and slashed a small tree in half out of despair and anger.
"They didn't know I was a human, all they knew was that I was looking for you!" He said.
"That's even worse! They don't even know why you were looking for me! They probably think someone was out to kill me, and glob knows there are already plenty of people trying to do that, and now for all I know they could be back at my home doing damage to an already fragile problem!" Fionna was loosing control over herself. She was hyperventilating, she began to pull at her hair, her eyes wide and crazed. "What the hell was I doing? I should never have gone back there I should have just stayed where I was and now they could be dead! They could be dead! They could be dead and it's all my fault!" She was half hysterical by now, and she wanted to hit herself for loosing it.
She was thrown off guard as Finn grabbed her into a bear hug, his arms secure around her.
"Let go of me!" She yelled, trying to beat her fists against his chest, but he was too strong, and only squeezed her tighter.
"No. I know how you feel, and I'm telling you its going to be ok." He said softly.
"How could you know how I feel! Its-its not going t-to be ok!" She said, trying to keep the tears back. She stopped fighting and let him hold her as the tears poured down.
"I have so much to tell you Fionna, and right now I'm telling you its going to be ok." He said gently.
Fionna ignored all of her hatred and ager for him at that moment, and allowed herself to bury her face in his shoulder and cry. In one moment this boy had both ruined and saved her life. She felt like all the loneliness of being the last human gone, but all the pain of the idea that Cake and Marshall and Gumball were in danger or thought that she was dead hurt her like a fist. She clutched Finn, feeling her fingers dig into his skin. She tried to let go of all the terrible thoughts rolling around in her head, tried to breathe steadily.
She slowly relaxed her body, feeling the tears stop and the breathing gradually slow. She felt the arms around her loosen, and eventually release.
She fell to the ground immediately, exhausted. Finn reached down to her, worry on his face.
"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" He asked anxiously. Fionna shook her head, her arms giving in under the weight of her body. She lay in the grass, her body shaking slightly.
"How long was it since you had a real sleep?" He asked softly.
"Maybe five days…." She said in a weak voice.
"You really need to rest more often." He said.
"I was running for so long because I saw your stupid note." She complained, unable to lift herself.
"What note?" Finn asked curiously.
"The one you left." Fionna said, already struggling to keep her eyes open. It felt like she had just drunken a full sleeping potion.
Finn didn't answer, instead he pulled off his cloak and put it under her head as a make-shift pillow. He watched as she immediately fell into a deep sleep. Her breathing slowed, her face relaxed. He watched her, his eyes never moving from her face. She was really human, and she was everything he had hoped she would be. She was brave and strong and smart, she was magnificent. He didn't want to wake her, but couldn't resist reaching out a hand to stroke her cheek. He was amazed that she slapped his hand away and opened her eyes a fraction, before returning to her deep slumber. She must have been alone for a long time, he thought.
His thoughts drifted back to what she had said about a note, but he pushed that thought aside. He didn't want to worry her about it. He hadn't known what she was talking about.
Besides, she was probably just saying that because she was so tired.
So Finn sat on the ground, watching as the other human slept.
