So, We're probably gonna call it quits. And right in the middle of a cliff hanger! Do you know why?!... Because no one is reviewing, and we can't tell if this is a good story or not. Honestly, only ONE person has reviewed, besides us! Come on people, take the initiative to tell us some pro's and con's of the story so we can fix it! Because if we write one more chapter that doesn't get a reply, we're going to delete the whole thing! Now, I WILL finish the next chapter so there is no more cliff hanger, and we will wait ONE WEEK for reviews. If we haven't been given any criticism by then, then we will take that as a sign that this story sucks, and its going to be deleted.
Austin fell to his knees, gasping for air. Everyone but Allen and Adriana ran to him and tried to help. Adriana laughed at him, and Allen looked at him without a single emotion on his face. He just shook his head at him. "I can't say you disserve this. But I do know that isn't enough to kill you. Get up and stop making a scene."
Austin started laughing then, too. "God, Allen! Such a buzz kill." Austin stood back up, and scratched the back of his head as the hole in his chest healed. After about a minute, the wound was gone, leaving a small smiley face with horns as a scar. "Ha ha! How appropriate. A demon mark for a demon. Allen, I am mad at you for locking me up in that place for all those years, but I understand why you did it. And Addy, I'm so sorry about your mom, but like I said, it was an accident. You didn't give me time to explain."
Adriana rolled her eyes. "I don't care what you say. I will still hate you!"
"Well, if you put it like that... I guess I have to tell you!" He started grinning. "You're my little sister, whether you like it or not. So, here's what happened. When you were 7, I heard your mother talking about some plan she had to take over the kingdom, and it required the sacrifice of a white witch. I immediately knew that there was only one white which in our kingdom, and tried to stop her. But, when I revealed my presence, she attacked me on sight, and my instinct was to defend myself. She shot at me with a bolt of fire, and I hit it with my hammer, unintentionally hiring the fire bolt right back at her. She burst into flames and, running around in pain, she ran right over the edge of the balcony and right out of the castle. She had been severely burned, but what killed her was the fall. It was an accident I caused trying to protect you. You're my sister. I love you."
Adriana had begun to cry as soon as Austin brought up the sacrifice. "I... I didn't know. She never really loved me. She loved the powers I had... That I could give her. Austin, thank you." She ran up to him and hugged him, and he hugged her back.
Marceline looked at Finn and Jake, who were beat up and avoiding I contact. "Jake! Get over the situation between Adriana and Finn! That stuff happens! And Finn, Jake is just trying to be a good older brother and protect you! You had no right to behave the way you did! Apologize, both of you!" The two looked at each other and began crying.
"Jake, I'm sorry for what I said. You will always be my brother. Nothing's gonna change that."
"Dude, you can't just apologize for something like that. But... I can't really blame you. I'm sorry I tried to pull you and Adriana apart. Do you really care about her?" Jake had stopped crying, and so had Finn.
"Yeah, man! You should know that."
"Heh. Yeah, I guess I should. Okay, I'll take back what I said. As long as Allen doesn't complain, you can still date her." Finn looked at Allen pleadingly.
"Hey, that's not up to me! If she doesn't want to date you, then to bad. But if so, I'm cool with it. I don't run her life. I just make sure she's safe. I'm more of a bodyguard than a father figure."
Adriana broke up into the conversation. "Hey, I'm right here. Don't talk like I'm not. But... Finn, I didn't get to tell you this earlier. I love you too."
"BLEH! You guys and your feelings! It's gross. I'm gonna barf." Austin made gagging sounds.
"You idiot." Huntress wrapped her arms around him. "You're just jealous of their relationship." Marceline floated toward Allen and kissed him. Austin gagged again. "Glob, you're such a dork." She grabbed his face and kissed him. Everyone stopped and looked at them. Austin's eyes widened.
Huntress stopped kissing him and pulled away, blushing. "Uh... Huntress?"
"Just forget about it! It didn't hap..." Austin interrupted her by pulling her towards him and kissing her. The two sat there and kissed for what seemed like an eterni , but was really just a few minutes.
"Huntress, I wanted to tell you this since the day we met. I love you. You have always been here for me. And the person I mentioned in the cave, the only one I cared about? That was you. I just didn't know if you felt the same way. That's why I never told you. thought it would make things awkward. Or worse, make you want to stop being friends."
"Well... At first, it would have. I saw you as a brother. But when you left me alone for all those years, I realized that I couldn't keep living without you. You became part of me, and it hurt me to where I became almost completely unemotional, except for anger and hate."
Jake looked around at the three couples. "Hmm... I wonder what Lady and the pups are up too..."
Finn stood up and looked at everyone, who was staring at Jake. "It's getting late. I'm thinking we should head home. Adriana, you should probably go with..."
Austin and Allen knew where this was going. "I'm not going home." They said in unison.
"Adriana can stay at my place." Everyone turned and saw a very... Unexpected guest. It was Flame Princess.
"Uh... Is that.. I mean, are you really okay with that?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, wouldn't that be awkward?" Marceline asked. Adriana and Flame Princess looked at each other.
"Nope. It's fine guys. I need to talk to her, anyway." Adriana nodded.
"Yeah, it's fine. Me and Flame Princess have already come to an agreement about where our status with Finn is." Adriana stood up and walked next to Flame Princess. The two walked off to the Fire Kingdom together, without a word to anyone else.
Finn looked confused. "Well... That was weird. So, Jake, you wanna hang out with me tonight, buddy?" Jake shook his head.
"Nah, man. All this junk about couples makes me miss Lady. I'm gonna go we her."
"Oh, okay." Finn sounded upset. Allen could tell.
"Hey Finn, I'll hang out with you. We could have a jam session or something."
Marceline agreed to joining them when Allen asked. "You guys are gonna leave us out, aren't you? Huntress and I want to join in, too." Everyone looked at Huntress.
"You can play music?" Finn asked, unaware of the rude question.
"Yeah, I play the cello. It's kinda like a big bass guitar version of a violen." She answered when she saw Finn's confused face.
"Oh. Well, awesome! Let's go, guys. Party at my house!" Finn shouted, jumping in the air.
