Forrbiden Love (book 1)

Chapter 13: A Plan

(P.B's POV)

I wake up the next morning feeling groggy and tired, but happy. I think of when Marcy said what I wanted to hear for years. I smile and lay in bed for about twenty more minutes. After I go downstairs getting breakfast and I see Finn and Jake after lunch.

"So what have you got"?

"Lemon said it wasn't his plan. He keeps saying it's one of the princes". Finn says grabbing one of the apples from the kitchen.

"The princes"? I think about the ones who backed off and who bombarded me. Desert... "It's desert prince I'm sure of it".

"Why all of a sudden him"?

"Reasons... But will you guys help me get there? I mean if anything bad happens".

They both nod and we ride on my swan. Better than calling Lady all the time. I look at one of our maps and see that the desert kingdom is at least a day trip. I sigh and look at Finn.

"Sorry guys... Didn't know it would take forever".

"It's all good princess. I would actually like to get out of the candy kingdom area for a while". Jake says laying back.

I nod and fly us to the desert kingdom but only to be stopped at the gates and turned back home. I sleep on the way back and the next day I wake up to peppermint poking my arm.

"What time is it"? I ask rubbing my eyes.

"Early but you have a letter from Desert prince". He says handing it to me.

I take it and open it. I just skim through it not really reading it then I stop when I see Marcy's name. I go back up and hold the letter tighter.

Dear Bonnibel Bubblegum,
This is a letter from Dexter. Or as you call me Desert. I have gotten your rude feedback from my engagement proposal and I've decided to force you.... I have your vampire. Your "prince" or should I say princess. Or would you not save her because she dropped you the other night. Hmm. Well she will die if you do not get back to me in at least three days.

I rip the letter feeling a ton of anger boiling. I hear my doors being pushed open and I look to see Finn huffing.

"P.B! Marcy's gone"! He says with deep breaths.

"I know... I have to go back to the desert kingdom". I say jumping out of bed.

"But... They kicked us out".

"I don't care. I'm getting in that castle". I make him get out and I get changed and I bring Lady with us this time. Her magic might come in handy.

We fly off heading for the castle and we fly in landing at the front doors of the castle. I knock and Dexter smiles as I look at him with rage.

"Well it's nice to see you to Bubblegum". He says opening the door for just me.

"Why the hell did you do this Dexter?! Just so you can have my hand"?

"No of corse not... I want power. Once I get control over the candy kingdom I'll be set. I'll be the biggest ruler in all of Ooo".

"But that I'll just be mine and your kindoms... What kind of power will that give you"?

"No your and my army's put together could take down the other kindoms".

"And what if I do not accept"?

"Then your vampire princess dies. Simple as that". He says snickering.

"Can I at least speak to her"?

He nods and leads me down the staircase into the dungeons. He opens one of the doors and I see Marcy chained up on her feet. I run over hugging her tightly. He closes the door and I hear him go up the stairs.

"Marcy I'm sorry...". I say almost in tears.

I feel her adjust and her move closer. I notice her hands bound behind her back.

"For what? You haven't done.... Anything wrong..." I pull her tighter and then smell smoke and notice burns along her arms and face when my eyes adjusts to the dim lighting. With a little bit of moonlight peering through the barred windows. That's mostly likely how she got burnt. The sun beams coming through on her, there is probably enough darkness to keep her alive but just enough sun to torture her.

I let go looking at her. "I don't want you dead but what am I suppose to do? He will take the other kingdoms and...". I stop and just sit across from her.

"If I die, well then I die..... Look Bonnie, I will be fine. But you're smart you'll figure something out". Marcy looks back towards the barred window, and then back to.

"So how's Jake"?

I look to where she looked and I nod. "He's fine. Upstairs actually". I wink. I get up and knock for Dexter to let me out and he smiles as I tell him I accept the offer.

Once we are upstairs I go tell Jake about the cell and he smiles and goes down. Hopefully gets her out so we can cancel the wedding....
