his undead heart

2: havoc

Fiona pov

I was in the middle of my gaming marathon with cake, and the phone started ringing.

"hello? fiona? its prince gumball," the prince's voice sounded concerned . "what's up pg?" "I wanted to inform you of havoc," "maybe its just marshall again-" "no fiona, this man dresses like what the people call....how you say? emo?". emos? did they start a fight again? ugh. they never stop with fight this, put eyeliner on that. "what does he look like pg?" "from what I've seen, hes tall, and dressed in dark clothing.  he has an axe much like marshall's, and hes swinging it around threatening candy citizens,"

"come on cake, some emo is scaring the candy kindom,"

---

once we got there it was really quiet. did the empty threats go away? Cake and I started walking around looking for the emo. Where could he be? A figure zoomed past us and I withdrew my sword. "I'm not afraid of you!" I told the figure. "oh girl, don't feel good about this..."cake whispered to me. I looked around, holding my sword with both hands. "coward!" I told who ever just passed us. the clouds parted and I could see...slightly better. In a tree there was a shadow, it looked sad by the way it sat. I slowly walked closer.

"M...Marshall?"

Marshall pov

The voice I hear is concerned, yet...comforting. I'm not going to face her though. I feel like trash and probably look like a hot mess. After raiding my clothes, and cutting my hair I felt good. But on my way to the candy kingdom I started thinking. I ended up just sitting in this tree, blocking out the screams of the citizens. What was I thinking about? oh, just about well...my life...my existence...why I haven't committed suicide so I would be...gone, instead of undead. I guess you can say I'm depressed, and I am. I'm not sure why, but I've been feeling empty lately. I feel vulnerable, I'm close to crying but I wont. Not in front of Fiona. Especially not in front of her. 

"Are you okay Marshall?" the voice asked, still concerned. That one simple question kept repeating in my head. 'are you okay?'  echoing, growing more distant each time. I stared at the dark night. "Marshall?" I'm suddenly snapped back to reality, and I pull on my normal shtick. With a forced smirk I turned around to face her.

"Hey.....Fi," I tried to sound smooth, but my voice cracked saying 'Fi'. "Have you been scaring the lil' candy babies demon?" Cake asks as I float off the tree and into the moonlight. I get mixed expressions at the sights of my black worn out shirt with a band name on it, my ripped  dark blue skinny jeans and crimson converse. I had a dark rainbow of bracelets on each arm, and an emo cut. which is basically exaggerated bangs over an eye. all topped off with snake bites and an ear pierce. I feel my plastered smirk waver at their expressions. "I don't know what your talking about." I confessed. "If it wasn't you then who was the emo dressed in all black swinging an ax around? tell me that sugar." cake hissed at me. "don't ask me, I've been sitting in this tree with my ax sitting on my back for hours..." I sound like a total bum, but I'm not going to stop acting like everything's okay.

I stared into Fiona's eyes and she stared back in disbelief. In the blink of an eye a figure passed me from behind, and I saw Fiona hold her sword tight. I choked down my sadness, then became more alert in case the emo cake was talking about was the figure. Just in case the figure might attack. In a millisecond the figure attacked Fiona; just as fast I defended her without a second thought. There was multiple thuds, I heard a punching sound. There were blurs of blue, green and black. I kept rolling on the ground like I was rolling down a hill while fighting. I hear a thud and there is a growing pain in my cheek, my teeth ache. I can barely see through the blurry mess of black, I feel as if someone is missing though. I try to get the attacker off me but with my impaired vision lead me to swing at them, as they did to me.

I managed to throw him off and get back on my feet. Once my vision cleared, I got a good look at him...

I couldn't look away. he had a altered version of a emo cut, it was spiky. it lifted from the back and fell over the left side of his face. he had a ripped up black hoodie with a fucked up heart on the front; the sleeves were rolled up. He had blue jeans with bleach stains and rips; there was an ax viable. I'm sure he had a scabbard on. he had bracelets on, some with spikes; and I think he had black worn out converse.  Even though he didn't seem like a demon or vampire, he hovered a few inches off the ground.

I studied him for a few second then I looked at his eyes...his eyes...he has no eyes...

at least that's what I think. there is gauze covering where they should be. Even though I couldn't see them, I just knew he had beautiful eyes.

"you! are you the crazy emo with the ax?" I hear Fiona ask the stranger. the guy smirks like I would and I saw something on his lips reflect in the moonlight. He had lip piercings just like I did. "well?" I hear Fiona say. "maybe, but its all in good fun," his deep raspy voice echoed in my ears. "why were you telling the candy people you were going to kill them? that's crazy balls!" Fiona shouted. Fi must have a thing against emos, but then why does she hang with me? he flashed me a genuine grin , which I returned for some reason. I saw Fiona shooting darts towards me, i could feel her wrath too. Her cheek was purple, mine probably was too."Is he your friend? is this just a sick joke?" she turned to me. "...n-no Fiona I don't-" the guy attacked her again and Fi tried to fight with her sword. it was a mind blowing sight, he kept getting hit repeatedly, but he did not earn a scratch or lose any blood. "what the shmow-zow?!" Fiona stops to take a breather. it was like his body was a shield. I felt like he was staring in my direction. Then he started singing "Picture this he was just a kid, Not knowing where to begin, He wore all the wrong clothes followed all the wrong trends, Persecuted for the things he did. Picture this he was all alone, Without a friend to call his own so he sat on his bed, With the thought in his head, But soon they all will see. Horrible Kids, Would you look what you did, It was your ignorance, That formed a beast with your wit." and I felt a pang of mixed feelings. It was like he knew how I was really feeling. " the sinking feeling sets, it feels like a hole inside your chest. I know its hard, you're feeling like your trapped. but that's how you react, when you cannot see the light. but try and see the light," he sang to me.

"what the flip are you talking about?" Fiona didn't understand he was referring to me, clearly. "I'm not searching the sky for a reason to live, 'cause I found beauty right here and a passion to give!" I suddenly blurt out. "beware, beware! be skeptical. the smiles, the smiles are painted gold. deceit so natural, show me how you justify. telling all your lies like second nature!" " are you haunted by memories past? are you ready to make this one breath your last? is your chest so heavy your ready to leave? or are you just hoping someone will grieve? there are no memories here just the regrets of the dead. please don't follow in my footsteps- cherish all you have left." I was left speechless. he suddenly went at me, the last thing I saw before crashing into him was his wicked smile.Time stood still then it seemed like I was flying backwards. air tossed my hair back and forth, and it was like time slowed. it was...bliss. In an instant my world crashed down and so did I. it was silent for a split second then all I could hear was a high pitched ringing in my head. my body ached immensely, I tasted the bitterness of bile in my mouth.

"Marshall!"

Fiona pov

The emo collided with Marshall and sent him flying. He crashed into a building, the wall caved in. Marshall's eyes were closed, and he was slumped over. I looked back at the emo to tell him off but he was gone. I ran towards Marshall, calling his name.

"Cake come on, we have to help Marshall!" 

"okay, okay I'm helping!"
