A Finnceline FanFic: Return of the Adventurer

Happy, Sad

Finn's POV

I lied to Marcy about what was wrong with me and Bonnibel covered for me, a simple infection manageable by antibiotics as for the recovery of my legs it was a new medicine Bonnie made. I don't know if Marceline bought it but she didn't really question it. I made list of everything I wanted to do with Marcy and all the things I wanted to help her with. Things I want to do with Marcy: go on date, play video games while hanging out, make music, cuddle by a campfire and go star-gazing. Things I want to do for Marcy: fix Simon and patch things over with Hunson. My first objective was to go on that date so I had Bonnibel set up a festival in the candy kingdom to which I invited Marcy. It was nice, was ate candy, played festival games, danced and finally we watched fireworks. That night Marcy slept in my bed and we cuddled until the early hours of the morning. I dared not to sleep in fear I would be confronted with those bloodstained memories.

The next day I made sure PB would keep Marceline away from the Ice Kingdom while I dealt with Simon. I spent most of the time chasing the Ice King around trying to talk to him normally but in the end I fight him then tie him up. He kept complaining the whole time and I got attacked by gunter and the other penguins. It was a mess to say the least. I was able to fix his corruption by rewiring the crown's magic circuits as well as removing and sealing the corrupt wish made by its original wearer in Pandora's Box. Simon himself had become corrupted by the crown so I had to remove and seal the corruption into Pandora's Box. By removing the corruption Simon was fully restored, including his memories, I can't count how much he thanked me. Even though I fixed him he still need the crown to support his life considering his age. As payment I had him seal the Lich's body deep within his kingdom. I also told not find Marcy until I kicked the bucket to which he agreed.

That night Marcy and I went camping in the forest. Once again Marcy smelt of bubblegum but I guess that's to be expected. It was fun we played some board and card games. We played hide and seek. Marcy of course, won. We watched a meteor shower through a telescope. It was awesome. We roasted marshmallows and cooked s'mores. We told each ghosts stories and weird tales we've heard. I told her about Pandora's Box but didn't tell I had it, just passed it off as another weird story. I found myself lost in in Marceline's gaze, sinking deeper and deeper into that sea of red. I could feel my body tire. I told Marcy I needed to rest, though I was nervous about falling to sleep. We laid our head down on our picnic mat and watched as the fire crackled and popped. As I drifted off I held Marcy close, her skin was cold and soft.

Sinking and drifting further into the sea of blood created by my hands, light began to fade and the darkness opened up. Green flames burned away the darkness that enveloped me. Once again I stood before the Lich but he had no words he just stared at me. He pointed to me. I was walking through the jungle, I was on edge, I hadn't slept in days. Suddenly there was the snapping of twigs. A child stumbled onto the walking trail but before I realised what it was I had already drawn my blade and cut down the child. Next I was at a sea port asleep at an inn, the maid was cleaning my room while I slept, my body reacted to the sound and I slit her throat. Then I was taken to Lydia, a blonde in her thirties, a friend that help me steal supplies from the council of the settlement. She tried to steal my necklace that Xenovia gave me. I bashed Lydia's head in with a rock. 

I woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. Marceline held her face as a cut healed, she looked frightened. Oh no don't tell me I hurt Marcy. I tried to touch her but she flinched so I stopped and turned around, I couldn't look at her I was too ashamed of myself. "I'm sorry," I apologised, 

"...It's...It's fine I heal fast, see? Not even there. ha ha ha," Marcy tried to cheer me up, 

"It's not fine Marcy. I hurt you. That's something I never wanted to do. I...I'm so ashamed of myself...I thought that I stopped this foolishness already..." I sobbed, Marceline hugged me from behind and rested her head on my shoulder. 

"Finn, it's okay, I won't break from a little scratch besides you're in much more pain than me. You were crying out in sleep. I'm worried about you, you know? You can tell me anything Finn, I won't judge you, just talk to me." Marcy reassured me, 

"You promise?" I asked, 

"Of course," she nudged my head with hers. I turned around and lightly kissed her soft, tender lips. 

"I did a lot bad things while I was in the wastelands. I mean a megaton of bad things. I hurt so many people. Some of it was to survive, some was because it was my hand was forced, some of it were accidents but most of the time it was because it was easier than not. I thought that I came to terms with it but I guess something like that doesn't leave." I confessed, Marcy put her hands on my face and rest her head against mine, 

"Finn, having nightmares, being ashamed of what we did is soul's way of telling us we did a bad thing but it means that we have good in us. It tell us that we shouldn't do those things again. It teaches us to better people. I've really told you but when I was young, I went through something similar to you. I had to find my own way and I did bad things, I dream about them sometimes but when they first happened I could never calm down. I'm sure remember that whole deal with the deal vamps? I killed them all, I wiped out a whole race of people and now I'm the only one left. It's pretty haunting." Marcy spoke honestly, I held Marcy closer. 

"We really are alike, huh? The last of our kind...It's lonely isn't?" I rested my head on her shoulder to hide my tears. 

"...Finn...You'll always have me, forever and always, I'm the immortal vampire queen. I won't die so you will never be lonely Finn." Marcy stroked my hair. I kissed while gently laying her down. It didn't go any further than kisses and touching that night but that's all I needed I felt so calm with Marceline by my side.
