“Put me down this instant,” I yell, banging on the chest of flame prince as he runs down the hall with me in his arms. I couldn’t stand it. I was angry. I was so angry that I didn’t know how to go about expressing my anger.

“Please cope for now my little Prince,” the way that flame prince pronounced my with such hidden suggestion and audacity caused me to want to regurgitate all over his shiny red shoes. Not that I, a prince of such high stature and reasoning would ever think of such thing… well at least until now.

Another set of running footprints was now storming down the hallway behind us. “Flame stop! Please we need to talk.”

The voice is Fiona’s, great another crazy, delusional, hormonal teenager to deal with.

“I Have nothing to say to you,” Flame’s voice was stern as stone and he didn’t even give Fiona the time of day as he kept treading forward.

“Look man I was….i was a Bitch. Alright. To both you and Gumball,” She sounded sincere and it looked like she was about to cry. Oh man if she started crying right now….i don’t think I would be able to handle it. I have always been weak to those blue tears. “You ay was and I need to fix this mess. We’ve hurt more people than we actually could ever intended, Cake was able to help me see that.” God bless the cat women.

“I forgive you Fiona. I really do. I should have-“ I start to utter while the light of relief was lit in her eyes.

“It wasn’t you fault, Bg. It was obviously her fault,” He stopped in his tracks and snarled at Fiona. I could see how Fiona’s heart sank, but I knew that she was fighter. She was determined in every sense of the word.

She reaches out to grab Flame shoulder, to further try to convince him to reach the reasoning she has now come to understand, until Flame prince breaths hot, untouchable, red fire in her direction. The flames danced dangerously in the air and roared like a lion. It rumbled the surrounding walls nearly engulfing Fiona like a desert sandstorm faster than a sudden flood. Fiona yells in pain as I struggle in Flame prince arms slightly out of fear and another out of wanting to protect Fiona. Though I tried to obtain one of her lingering hands to move her out of the way, Flame tighten his grip, flattening my chest against his almost at a suffocating state as the closeness smothered one of my arms preventing me from getting to Fiona.

All I could see was the red orange and yellow flame’s glow against the surrounding snow white school walls as Flame continued to run. Fiona’s cries of agony and defeat coated in thick despair could be heard loud and clear as the distance between us grew further apart.

Now. Now I was really living in one of my worst nightmares.

Next thing I knew I was being thrown into a dark class room. I landed with a deep thud onto the tile. My hand hugging my shoulder from the pain and tears streaming down my face due to my…my uselessness. How weak I was. I should have done something, anything, absolutely something to stop all of this from happening. I just knew it.

The towering Princely Figure lingers over my body his hands stationed at the sides of my head, eyes piercing into my own and his breath touching my skin. My heart stopped. His hand. His frightening large strong hand started to stroke my hair. He takes in time and comes through it with his fingers and hums to the sensation of its softness. I start to break at into a cold sweat and my body became stiff as a stone statue made of iron. I breath short brief breaths that are few and far in between as he does so, staring at him with wide eyes like a deer in the headlights, hopeless and pleading for its life.

His hand moved from head to my forehead and then to brush one of my tears from my face. His face is calm. To calm for comfort his face, that the boy on top of me was responsible for setting my friend ablaze.

My thoughts where load in my head

Move Glob Dammit!

Move Gumball

He’ll…He might do. JUST MOVE

Yet I was paralyzed. A bug under microscope. A bonded Prometheus. A caged bird with clipped wings. Utterly defenseless hopeless and done for.

His thumb strokes my check slowly before he grips my jaw in a sudden forceful jerk and put his lips to mine. We start to kiss and spirit is dropped to the floor and is left to die.  That was until I came to a realization that I was not going to loss to this…….this…….low life. This parasite. This undersgibably intolerable piece of flaming trash in front of me win, no way in Candy Kingdom history was I letting that happen.

I bit his lower lip and I bite it hard. It was hard enough to send him back on his knees cupping his bleeding lip. I glared at him envisioning sending dagger into his chest.

A sharp stiff laughter fills the dark room as Flame Prince gets up and heads towards the door. Still to scared I lay there as still as possible, as if one movement could dictate he would turn around come back and “Finish the Job.”

“How unexpectedly feisty you are, fooling me with that oh so sweet face of yours,” He turned back and smiled underneath his eyebrows, “I like it. It almost as if I just got ‘burned” by you so to speak.” He Laughs even more and tilts his head back to the ceiling. Using so to speak didn’t even work right in that context and he used it anyway, I though annoyingly. Adding to the insanity of his statement, he looked like he was fresh out of a mental institution but stopped at a crack house for a puff first before getting here. In other words, this guy looked crazy as hell.

“Bye Gumball,” he said closing the door to leave, “I’ll be back for you once I take care of some certain thing and get some certain preparation for,” he pauses before looking back at me, “Us.” The way he said ‘us’ gave a whole new meaning of the word and sent shivers down my spine.

He closed the door and left, but not before sealing the room shut by melting the edges of the door way.

I run to the door banging on the surface to see if I could, just maybe, perhaps open it before the hot metal cooled, but I was too late. I flick the light switch on and start to slide onto the floor until I came to a sudden realization. This is a chemistry room.

Big mistake Flame Prince. Big mistake.
