My good little mermaid

You what?

Fionna pov

"I like you Marshal."

He rubbed the back of his neck. ah oh I thought.

"I don't know what to say."

I bit my lip. nervous dreading what he was about to say next.

"I don't think I like you."

My heart felt like a knife was just jabbed into it. I felt my eyes start to mist up.

"Its ok...um I got to go." I barely manger to say because my voice kept breaking.

I got up and started running far away anywhere but here.

"Wait fi."

Was he chasing me. Can't he just leave me alone. I kept running. I ran faster than I ever had before. I ran and ran as fast as I could. I ran deeper into the woods I tripped on some twigs and fell on some rocks. I scraped my hands and knee but I didn't care I couldn't feel the pain at the moment.

I got back and tried to run again but my legs gave out on me. I collapsed near a tree with a somewhat hollow base that was partially covered in leaves. I crawled in there and just cried. I couldn't stop the tears they just kept coming down my face in endless streams.

What was I thinking. How did I delude myself into thinking that he might actually like me. Im just a little mermaid that ran away from becoming a bride that he was taking care of. The worst part was I genuinely thought he liked me. He did flirt with me a lot but I was so stupid to think it was something more. I don't blame for not liking me though I didn't like myself at the moment either.

"Fi."

Crap how did he know where I was. I wish he would just go away and leave me alone for now.

I staid complety still and I made my breathing so quiet you couldn't hear it. I heard some foot steps near and started to get worried. But then they started to fade into the distance. I then delta hand on my shoulder. I jumped thought crap and quickly squeezed out of the tree's base. I was right about to run again when I felt his hand grab my side. I tried to get away but he wrapped his arms around me preventing my escape. Damn his strength.

"Let me go."

"Just let me talk to you."

"I don't want to talk to you."

"Please Fi."

"Just let me go already." I said my voice breaking. It felt like my strength just decided to leave my body.I felt my leg give out again and if he hadn't been holding me I would've fallen again. I could feel my tears running down my cheeks. I didn't want him to see my crying over him but I couldn't help it.

He let me cry for a minute then wiped my tears away with his finger. He lifted my chin up so I was looking into his red eyes.

"Fi I only said I didn't like you because I think I love you."

"Really. If your lying I swear I will hunt you down and'

He stopped me by kissing me. I was shocked at first but then responded. He kissed me sweetly then pulled away looked me in the eyes and said "Really."

I fly one last tear roll down my face as I smiled at him. I was stunned speechless I opened my mouth for a second and tried to say something but no sound would come out.

He laughed,picked me up bridal style ,and started flyin back to the cave.

I just sat there for a minute. He actually likes me no loves me. I can't believe it. It filled me with joy thinking about it. I was pretty shocked to. I wonder how he found me I had lost him for a bit. I wonder if he could hear my thoughts and that's how he found me.

"No I spelt your blood."

"My what."

I looked down and saw my hands were bleeding and so were knees. It must have been when I tripped and fell. my hands were barely bleeding but my knee on the other hand was a different story. It was bleeding a lot. I didn't know if it was a deep cut or not but this explains why I couldn't stand. I couldn't tell how deep it was because it was to dark.

"Wait crap I hope this isn't.."

"Isn't what."

"I hope it isn't...making you hungry."

"It's not."

I say bit his lip when he said that was he lying.

"I would never hurt you like that" he said in such a sincere voice.

It almost sounded like he was trying to convince his self to there. Im probably just reading more into it. I trusted him. I knew he wouldn't hurt me.

We got to the cave then went into the little cottage. I felt a little dizzy but that's probably just from blood loss. He had torn off part of his shirt and given it to me.I had tied it around my knee to try and stop the blood flow. It didn't work to well though because it was soaked in my own blood. It stung some but I could barely feel it. Which was probably a bad thing.

Marshal fly up to bathroom still holding me and set me on the bathroom sink's counter. He got put a needle and thread and some rubbing achohol. He took off the makeshift bandage and cleaned the cut with the rubbing achohol. Stupid thing stung. He then began to sew up the wound.

"How do you know how to do this stuff."

"During the mushroom war when I was little I would get at lot cuts and scrapes. And sometimes Simone would have to give me stitches when I had a really deep cut like yours."

He wrapped it in a bandage and the. Washed the blood off his hands. I hoped off the counter.

I my leg didnt exactly like that at and I fell into Marshall's chest. I guess my leg hasn't gotten its strength back yet. Good think he caught me I thought.

"Oops sorry"

He laughed "If you wanted me to kiss you again you could have just asked. You didn't have to attack me."

I blushed a furious red. "Marsh!" I said and hit his chest.

"I'm kidding. Unless you want to that is."

I think my face somehow got redder. At least he acting like his old self again. I walked to his bedroom and changed into my pjs then got in bed. I was a about to fall asleep when I felt him get in to. He wrapped his arms my stomach and pulled me against his chest.

"Can I at least get a good night kiss for fixing your leg."

I grinned into his chest and quickly kissed him. I wasn't exactly sure what we were at the moment but I was just happy. I was also tired because today was emotionally and physically exhausting. I soon fell asleep.
