Chapter 4B: Calling Voices

{Author's Note}
{Thank you all for the support on all the other chapters, and I'm glad that my work is appreciated. I'll keep trying my best to finish this story and give everyone an ending that won't be forgettable and will be all worth the struggle of writing and waiting for more. Again, thanks for all of the support!!}
{Also, apologies on the shortness for the last chapter and this one. I've just been really tired recently, and coming up with ideas is starting to become more difficult. I'll produce longer chapters sooner or later. Most likely after this one.}
{Anywho, enjoy reading!!}

Marceline's Perspective

" No..I-I can't. Go away...! " I whispered in protest. Tears rolled down my face from fear as I tried to push them away. They were coming for me. I just know it. The voices are growing louder. They want something from me..
Marcy.. You need us.
" I don't need anybody..! "
We can erase your pain.
...
We are already apart of you.
We understand you.
Let us help, Marceline.
" ...H-How can you help..? " I asked wearily.
Let us take control.
We can get rid of the source. The source of your suffering.
" The..the source..? "
Yes Marceline, the source.
" W-why are you trying to help..? I-I don't..I don't understand.. "
Why not help? That's all we're here for. To help you.
We can relate to you.
" You..relating to me? " I laughed a bit, " You're fibbing. Nobody could possibly relate to me. "
Look at Marceline, all tough and brave. If you were half the person you're trying to be, you would have stood up for yourself in the hall.
...
You had to call us. You're powerless without us.
" Okay... what do I need to do..? "

Find a necklace Marceline. Any necklace.
" A necklace..? Why? "
Just trust us. Find a necklace.
I rummaged through my room, searching for a necklace. My desk.. my nightstands..my old jewelry box.. wait!
I opened one of the drawers to the jewelry box. I was greeted with the shining silver of a bunch of necklaces, most of them without any charms. " D-Does it matter if it has a charm..? " I asked.
It is..preferable. If you can find one with a charm, it'll be easier for both of us.
" Alright.. " I sighed. I pulled out necklace after necklace. All without charms. After maybe two minutes, I found one.
My old friendship necklace.
The metal on the charm was corroded and the metal had refused to shine in most places. This necklace must have been through a lot.
That one will do.
" Oh..uh..." I tried to think of a protest, but gave up quickly, " Okay. Let's do this.. "
Good. Now, take a good minute to memorize what the charm looks like. Memorize every detail.
I nodded slightly and inspected the charm as closely as I could. As I started to look, old memories flushed back. The day I had received this necklace. We were all roughly eight years old. Anne gave me it. Sasha got one too. So did Anne have her own. We wore these necklaces daily and pulled all sorts of crazy shenanigans and ruses. These necklaces had been through so many adventures and schemes. I sighed.
" Alright..I think I got it memorized. What now? "
Close your eyes and imagine the charm in your mind. Think about us. Think about how we want to help, and then let us do the rest.
I closed my eyes just like the voice said. The picture of the charm had entered my thoughts. I started to think about the voice. I wanted help. I wanted my suffering to end. They offered it. I just can't refuse such an offer. Nobody will try to even hurt Marceline Regina Wu ever again. They'll be sorry.
The image in my head was starting to change. I could see an orange aura starting to appear around the charm. I didn't want to stop the process, so I didn't open my eyes, despite the curiosity of seeing if that was reality.
The aura-like particles started to swirl around the charm, and eventually dashed into it. Everything stopped.
It all went black. I didn't want to open my eyes. I waiting in what felt like eternal darkness for maybe a minute or so?
You can open your eyes now, Marceline.
I slowly opened my eyes and I looked at the charm. The charm had changed. It was all orange now, and in the shape of an eye.
Wear it at all times. Whenever you need us. Just hold onto it and ask for help.
"...Thank you.."
Did I do the right thing..?
