The Hero and The Rebel (Fiolee)

Chapter 10

Hey! I'm back. We've hit double digit chapters! You know, because after 9 comes 10?

Me: Alright, explain why you two weren't here yesterday?

Marshall Lee: We were, erm, making out...?

Fiona: And we are very, uh, sorry....*blushes*

Me: Good! Now onto the chapter!

Cake: What do you mean 'MAKING OUT'?

Fiona and Marshall Lee: *runs and hides*

MARSHALL'S POV

For the past half hour, Corrine and Christine had made me over at least six times. Resistance was futile. Every time I tried to get up to go after Fiona, they dragged me back down. Corrine is Christine's twin. Her baby pink hair reached to her hips and she, like her sister floated about an inch off the ground. They both were Fairlies, but Corrine's power was different. She could shape-shift, but had no control of what she turned into and when. So basically she could turn into an elephant for like an hour and not be able to shift back on her own. And al of this was linked to her emotions. Christine and Corrine both were a very pale peach.

"Marshy, can we dye your hair pink? Right, Chrissy?", Corrine asked sweetly.

"No Cory, let's dye it blue.", Christine said, folding her arms.

"Pink!"

"Blue!"

"Pink!"

"Blue!"

I quietly crawled around the two bickering sisters and made my way to the door. I was lucky that the sun had gone down by now. How long had Cory and Chrissy kept me in there? I rolled my eyes and flew to Fiona's house. I carefully crept up the base of the tree-house. The window was open and I heard crying. Cake sat on Fiona's bed, crying into her hands. I had never seen her so vulnerable. She looked lost without her baby sister. Cake caught sight of me and all heck broke out.

"You! You're the reason I lost her! I failed Mom and Dad. They told me to keep her safe, and I did. Until you came around. You're not safe for her. So stay away from Fiona!", she panted heavily.

I backed away and then completely turned tail. Maybe Cake was right. No, you can protect her, part of my brain said. Great, I'm going crazy by arguing with myself. I sniffed the air until I found her scent. If you're wondering what she smelled like, it was the sweetest blend of strawberries and chocolate. I followed it to a small lake, shaded by willow trees. Sniffles echoed across the water. Then I saw her. She wore her usual outfit, including her bunny hat. Her pack was on the grass next to her. I shifted to invisibility and crept closer to her. Her beautiful blue eyes were glossed over with tears. Oh dear Gob, I'm turning into a softie. But only for Fiona would I ever do that. I wrapped my arms around her and she jumped. I made myself visible again and she relaxed. I pulled her onto my lap and she burrowed her head into my chest.

"Did you just smell me?", I asked, bewildered. Fiona's face was sheepish.

"Maybe...", she murmured.

I started laughing and Fi slapped my chest. It got quiet again. Lights started to fly up everywhere, illuminating the small pond.

"Looks like the fireflies came out to play.", Fiona giggled.

I pulled her up and set her little feet on top of mine.

"This is how the story went

I met someone by accident

Who blew me away

Blew me away

And it was in the darkest of my days

When you took my sorrow and took my pain

And buried them away, buried them away

I wish I could lay down beside you

When the day is done

And wake up to your face against the morning sun

But like everything I've ever known

You'll disappear one day

So I'll spend my while life hiding my heart away

I can spend my whole life hiding my heart away."

FIONA'S POV

I was speechless, firstly because of Marshall's beautiful voice and secondly, because of the message of the song. He sounded so heartbroken, as if he thought I would hurt him. Truly, I was afraid of it the other way around. I thought he would break my heart into a million pieces. If Gumball's rejection was bad, his would be terrible. I'm just hoping neither of us get hurt.
