Sweet Tooth

Chapter Eight

Gumball's Pov:

When we arrived at Fiona and Cake's house. Cake was really upset. She said that Fiona had run away from Flame and he went after her. She said they were yelling at each other like she's never seen before. She said Flame was about to overheat. She was really scared.

I sat and watched Cake cry. I wasn't good at making people feel better. I didn't know what to say. I wasn't sure where Fiona would go. What would happen if Flame did over heat, and he couldn't control it.

I didn't know what to say to her.

And I couldn't concentrate. I really just couldn't concentrate for the life of me. All I could think about was that damn blimp ride. I could still feel Marshall's lips touching my skin. I could still feel his hot breath on me. I could still feel those cold fingertips run up my thighs, making me shiver.

"Gumball!" Marshall's voice woke me up from my hazy thoughts. "Come on!"

I widened my eyes in embarrassment and followed Marshall to Cake's truck. We got inside and Marshall drove quickly into the woods.I saw a tree on fire.

I poked Marshall and pointed at the tree. "You know what that means." I said.

He pressed down harder on the gas pedal. And soon we found a path of fire. I was really scared. When Flame overheats, it's hard to control him. Usually Fi is the only one who can calm him down, but not this time apparently.

There there are!

Flame and Fiona were nearly screaming at each other in the distance. He was almost to the point of burning everything around him.

Fiona just slapped him and he raged. He pushed her down and slapped her as hard as he could. She had tears streaming her face now. Marshall slammed on the breaks and flew out of the car and all the way over to them. I ran as fast as I could to get over there. When I did Marshall tore Flame off of Fi and flung him backwards into a tree.

I ran over to Fiona who was badly burned. Tears sprung in my eyes. She was already badly burned, if he touched her again it would be a critical injury.

Marshall punched Flame in the face hard enough to even make me cringe all the way over here.

Flame spit on Marshall and it burned his skin. Marshall leapt back and cringed in pain.

"Dammit Flame! Don't you dare hurt my friends, you stupid asshole!" Fiona yelled.

Flame pushed me down and got back on her. He punched her in the face three times before Marshall splashed water on him. Thank god, there was a small pond nearby.

Flame jumped back and cried out in utter pain.

Fiona was scorched. It made my stomach churn looking at her blistered skin. Marshall picked her small, fragile body up and carried her to the truck. My tears were uncontrollable now. What if she wasn't okay. Marshall layed her down in the back seat. He jumped in the drivers seat and sped out of these woods and towards the Candy Kingdom. We had the best medical staff in all the land of Aaa.

I could barely even see now with my heavy tears coulding my eyes. Marshall looked at me and kissed me softly on the forehead.

"It'll be okay, Bubba." He cooed. "Don't worry."

We skidded into the hospital paring lot. A crowd of my subjects formed when they saw me distraught and teary eyed. We rushed her into the emergancy room and the nurses rushed her into the opperating room. We were forced to sit in the waiting room and wait for the results.

Marshall phoned Cake and told her what happened. She said she and Monochrome would be here as soon as possible.

"Marshall?" I whimpered.
