Painful Words (Fiolee)

12. Black Hearts and Empathy

Day 3:

Fionna woke up only to feel immense pain jolt through out her entire body. She whimpered in pain, and curled in to a tight ball. She wished that this nightmare would be over, and that if she concentrated hard enough she would be with Marshall again. 

Too bad this was real, and she was in a dark cell. Fionna groaned in discomfort, as the shackles on her wrists seemed to burn. She leaned against the wall, and closed her eyes trying to calm down. However just as she started to feel a bit better she heard the clacking sound of high heels come her way.

 "Hello my sweet little human, I Licorice Lass am here to give you a second chance." 

"Fuck of you asshole I hate you." Fionna hissed.

Licorice Lass seemed taken back by Fionna's vulgar choice of words, and she tuted loudly. 

"Why Fionna, aren't you supposed to be innocent, those words and disgusting!" 

"I don't care bitch let me go!" 

Rage filled the evil woman's eyes "Why I never all I'm trying to do is give you power." 

Fionna rolled her eyes at her, and stuck her tongue at her. Licorice Lass sighed as she leaned against the bars of the cell. 

"You are quite a difficult human to deal with, you know I really am trying to look out for you hun." 

"Ya right, I bet you have some strange twisted desire! I'm just a pawn in your game aren't I!" Fionna yelled tears pooling down her dirt smudged face. 

Licorice Lass tried to retort, but Fionna fired on "You will just use me like most people huh? Just how Gumball played me and made me his stupid hero, with his sweet words, and kind attitude!"  

Licorice Lass started down at the sobbing human, and something in her cold black heart ticked. 

"Fionna I understand exactly how you feel, for Gumball did the same to me." she said her voice filled with empathy. 

She looked up at her with her crystal blue eyes "I don't need your empathy leave me be you crazed kidnapper!" 

Said crazed kidnapper let out a deep breath, and inserted a twisted key into the lock. The cell door opened with a creak. Fionna's eyes filled with fear, and she backed up against the concrete wall. Licorice Lass walked over, and sat down close to Fionna.

 "Look I'm not going to hurt you okay, just let me explain." 

Fionna didn't trust her at all, but she decided to let her explain. 

"As I said before I used to be the hero of the Candy Kingdom, but it all ended when... well Gumball he went too far in making the "perfect" hero." she said looking down. 

"What do you mean?" Fionna questioned. 

"Let me show you." Licorice Lass said. She reached forward, and tapped Fionna on the head. Instantly Fionna saw a scene come together in her head. 

                                                                      ~Flash Back Time!~

"Hart! Hart it's dinner time!" shouted Prince Gumball. 

Hart whipped around her green eyes filled with joy at the voice of the one she loved. She dropped her sword, and ran towards the palace doors leaving behind her battered opponents. 

"Hi Gumball, I am really close to mastering fencing!" she said cheerfully. 

Gumball gave her a stunning smile, and patted her on the head. She blushed a bright red, and happily skipped inside the castle. After Gumball had oh so kindly saved her, he had given her the option of becoming a duchess or a hero. Of course she chose to become a hero, as she wanted to be active. They made it into the dining hall, and she immediately dug into her meal.
