Marshall's POV;
I was just going to say good bye to Simone... I was just going to see her face one last time; and then leave and rid these people of my presence...
But there Fionna fell. And even as I dove after her, there was no way I could reach her. I could feel the shock on my face as she got closer to the ground.
She was so young. Only 18. She didn't get to live her life, she didn't get to see the world. She was to young to die, to delicate. So brave, but so scared.
As she crashed against the cold hard ground... I heard her heart stop. My eyes opened widely as I scooped her up in my arms.
She couldn't die... She couldn't be dead... You have an hour. A voice whispered in my head.
No! I couldn't do that to Fionna. There was no way I could even bare to see her like that... So I quickly flew her up to where I heard Gumballs screaming.
Cake was laying on the floor, shrunk down and hiding behind a chair. I could hear her soft sobs as she saw Me, growing quickly as she saw Fionna.
"Is she okay?!" She yelled as she tried to take her body from me.
I hissed at her, holding her closer to me, "where's Gumball?!"
Simone coward in a far corner, "up in my room... Did... Did I really kill her, Vampire King?" Her voice was shaky.
I ignore both cake and Simone As I flew up the stairs and busted into the chamber. Gumball sat in a small cage, his head in between his legs.
He looked up at me, "Marshall? What are you-" then he saw Fionna... "What happened?!" He yelled, rushing to the bars. "Is she... She's not dead, Marshall Lee." He said confidently. "Get me out of here and take me back to the castle. I can fix this!" He said with such self confidence it made me chuckle, even in this situation.
I kicked an ice bar, refusing to put Fionna down. I felt like... If I put her down, then she would die even more then she already was dead. Like there was something in her alive as long as I had her... Our love couldn't be extinguished that easily...
Love May be for the weak, and I may have wanted to run away before, but I saw now that it was pure stupidity of me to try and run from the one thing I wanted; her.
Gumball jumped on my back as I flew him to candy kingdom. We were there in less then 15 minutes, but I could feel the time ticker slowing down in the back of my head.
"Gumball, we don't have much time." I said quietly.
He nodded and lead me down a series of halls. "In here." He motioned for me to put her down, and reluctantly, I did.
I felt everything crash down on me at once as I looked at her still form. Her unmoving chest. And as I listened to her unbeating heart, I felt tears brim in my eyes. I bent down slightly and kissed her forehead, wincing at the sudden coldness that flowed through her.
"Don't give up..." I whispered to her before I left the room.
A banana guard escorted me to a place to wait, where all I did was pace. Soft music played in the back ground, maybe even a tv was on, but all I could see was the fear that played over and over again in Fionnas eyes before she crashed to her death.
Fifteen minutes... The voice muttered, clutching around my heart. My stomach twisted as I grew nervous. Five minutes, Marshall Lee.... The voice warned.
I took off down the hall, pushing past the banana guards, and dashing into the room. Where I saw Gumball saturated in blood, standing a few feet from her, his mouth hanging open.
"I couldn't do it.." He whispered.
I shoved him, "you're hopeless!" I yelled. "Can you never do anything right?!" I pushed him against the wall, meeting his eyes, "you know what this means, don't you?"
His face fell, fear in his eyes, "you wouldn't..."
"I will not lose her!" I yelled, throwing him toward the door.
I slowly took a few steps toward Fionna. Her hat was on the ground, her hair skewed carelessly around her. Her mouth was parted slightly, her shirt was torn open, blood soaked.
I drew the back of my hand down her cheek, "my Fi..." I said quietly as I slipped my hand under her neck and bent down toward her, one of my tears landing on her pale skin, "I suppose I shall have my Queen..."
