Bonnibel
Grabbing her soft pink hair, Ricardio laughed manically as he yanked hard, making her yelp out in pain.
"So I see you've agreed to my deal my sweets," his voice slimy, as his vein-y hands pulled harder on her hair.
Screaming louder the princess, buckled down, falling down at Ricardio's feet. At this moment, the Lich walked in. An evil smile spread across his face, or what was left of it. Pieces of flesh hanging in strips near his chin and lips. His eyes like an empty void; cruel, empty, and heartless. With his freakish features and menacing stature, he would make anyone tremble as he passed.
Struggling under Ricardio's hands, Bubblegum, looking disheveled and scared, finally spoke up.
"I came alright! I came! Now you can have me, but you'll need to return my people!" her eyes raced back and forth from the two enemies.
The Lich and Ricardio looked at each other and then started laughing. The loose flesh around the Lich's lips shaking as he laughed.
The Lich walked close to Bubblegum, his voice smelled of death.
"Why would you ever think we would keep that promise? We just want you, and your pretty pink face," and as he said this he pushed her hard up against the cave they were in, a sharp pain ran through her entire body.
Bonnibel sunk at her knees, looking defeated. She pushed her crown back in place, and nervously started wringing her hands. Her face dirty from searching all caves in Ooo throughout the night in order to find the Lich and Ricardio. Or even trying to find some of the citizens from the Candy Kingdom that the Lich and Ricardio had taken hostage.
A flash of light rushed by the caves entrance, Bonnie quickly glanced at the opening, hoping that it was one of her friends. As she leaned to get a better look, she fell down, bringing Ricardio with her. As he fell, he hit one of his large almond eyes against a sharp rock.
"Agh! You fool! Can't do anything right?! You can't save your people, and now you can't even save yourself. What would your precious vampire lover think of what you've stupidly decided to do? You're ours now," he exclaimed as he clutched his eye.
Ricardio stood up, his eye had quickly bruised and was now shut all the way. Grabbing a large, sharp and pointed rock, he made a lunge at the princess. Bonnibel, being sharp and quick rolled out of the way, he ended up crashing into the wall and momentarily stunning himself.
Feeling brave she walked towards the Lich.
"Where. Are. My. People?" she asked between short angry breaths.
He smiled, cold and cruel.
"At a time like this, that shouldn't be your primary concern," he leaned forward close, trying to grab her by the waist. The princess pushed his arms away, disgusted at the thought of him touching her. Surprised at her rejection, he pulled his arm back and slapped her. Bubblegum fell back, her face stinging from the slap.
As she fell down, Ricardio had chosen the perfect time to make a stab at her. The sharp rock pierced into the Lich's stomach. Cutting into him like butter. His eyes opened wide as he stared at Ricardio in anger. He fell down to the ground, and Ricardio rushed to his side. His single eye bored into the two sweet blue ones of the princess.
"You'll regret this," he said, his voice shaking with anger. "Your precious people will all die once the Lich recovers," he spat at her.
Stumbling over her own feet, Bubblegum ran through the entrance of the cave, the voice of Ricardio growing softer as she ran towards the familiar forest of cotton candy.
"I'm so sorry, she was right there, and then she moved so quickly!"
The sound of a punch echoed behind her, and the cave rumbled as she ran faster.
Losing her breath, she could see the silhouette of the kingdom in the distance.
She had made a huge mistake, and she knew it. It hurt to breathe in, not just from when the Lich pushed her against the wall of the cave, but from the pain of leaving Marceline to sacrifice herself to the Lich and Ricardio. Leaving her in the middle of the night was unacceptable, and thinking back, she could have just had Marceline, Finn, and Jake help her find the people of the Candy Kingdom.
Crying, she ran her fingers over her hair.
How could Marcie ever forgive me? She thought.
Leaving so abruptly, without even letting her in on my plan. What if something went wrong? What was I thinking?!
Her cries getting louder, her body trembling with each sob.
"It's alright, it's alright I'm here," she swore she could even hear Marceline comforting her from behind.
Standing up straight she turned around, she saw Marceline waiting for her. She looked tired, especially for a vampire. But her hands were stretched outward, as if she was ready to hold her tight. Her heart aching from how happy she was to see her, she ran into her arms and cried.
