Me and my Gummy

Part 5

Flashback

3rd person POV

"You are so fucking useless Marshall dammit" Ashely had smacked Marshall in the face tears were streaming down his face. "I-I'm sor-"
She started shouting again " SHUT THE FUCK UP MARSHALL YOU'RE SO DAMN ANNOYING I CANT TAKE IT"
She had previously taken Marshall prisoner in his own home. Literally and figuratively. She had a chain around his ankle and forced him to do her bidding. Clean, cook, massages, anything she wanted except leave. The only thing she took care of was groceries.

Gumball had been calling, texting, sending letters, doing whatever he could to reach Marshall but no luck and Ashely wouldn't allow him to see Marshall. She even broke his phone so he couldnt text. Ashley had total control over his life.

By this time Marshall was so thin and so beat up. He had bruises, cuts, and burns all over his body. He usually covered them up but when Ashley forced him to have sex with her she made him strip and left him like that for what seemed like hours making him so uncomfortable, but she didnt care.

"Marshall get me a fucking water" he nodded and ran to the kitchen to get her a water. If he did make it right he would be hit. And it had to be perfect. Perfect temperature, perfect amount of ice and perfect amount of water. She was insane about these things but Marshall didnt want to be hit so he did as he was told.

There was a knock at the door. Ashely groaned and told Marshall to go open it. He ran over and opened the door. It was gumball, fiona, cake, mono, flame, peppermint, and some banana guards. They either had a look of anger or worry. Gumball was the one who brought everyone.

"Marshall we are tired of just sitting back and watching we are bringing her down NOW" Gumball was furious. Marshall started to get flustered.

"N-no guys I'm fine really its ok" he moved towards the door and his foot just enough outside the door for them to see the chain they all gasped.

"She has you on a fucking chain Marshall! You are coming with us and I will sentence her to death!" He was starting to panic and moved his foot away from the door.

Fiona brought her hand up to his cheek "Marshall she hit you" tears started streaming down most of their faces and Gumball barged in.

"Marshall who is it?" Ashely yelled.
"Its me Gumball and anyone who cares for Marshall" she looked at him furious that Marshall let someone in their home.

"Ashely you are hereby under arrest for physical abuse, verbal abuse, imprisonment, kidnapping, and acts of violence" Gumball used his royal voice it was powerful and very effective.

Ashely hissed and started to run for the door but fiona and cake tackled her to the ground. She struggled but the banana guards came and helped keep here om the ground and cuffed her.

Marshall was standing not knowing what to do Gumball ran over and tried to unlock the chain on his anckle. He unlocked it and all of a sudden he collapsed fainting Gumball was startled but he caught Marshall just in time.

After Ashely was taken to the dungen the counsel of kingdoms went to discuss her punishment.

There was silence in the room.
Flame prince got up and spoke.
"Well I'm gonna say what we're all thinking she has to die" many nodded agreeing with him but a few opposed.

"We cant kill her sure she is an atrocity but shes still a person" prince breakfast had rebuddled.

Gumball slammed his hands on the desk and glared at him harshly.
"She CAN and WILL die she hurt one of my best friends and I will not stand for it. Marshall had cuts, bruises, and burns that's prove hes been harmed. She hurt him and EVEN starved him he may already be very thin but all I saw was skin and bones on him. AND he passed out AND hes in the ER AND she mentally, verbally and physically abused him. SHE IS GOING TO DIE WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH ME OR NOT" many were shocked to see prince Gumball shout as he was usually sweet and soft spoken, but now he was so angry and filled with such regret that he couldnt stand it.

All of the counsel nodded and they came to an agreement. Later on it was announced that Ashely will be beheaded later that evening and anyone who wants to watch is welcome.

About an hour before her execution Marshall had woken up. Gumball and everyone was by his side waiting for him to wake up but Gumball was the first one to hug him.

"Oh Marshall you're awake!" Tears streamed down everyone's eyes. Dr.Prince came in and shooed everyone out except Gumball, Fiona, and Cake.

"So the reason he passed out is because of malnutrition, fatigue, and dehydration"
Marshall sat up and looked down ashamed of himself. Gumball saw and hugged him again.
"I'll leave you guys to talk" Dr. Prince exited the room and so did everyone but Gumball as they needed to speak.

"Gumball I-I'm..." he hugged him tighter "Dont you dare Marshall....Dont you dare apologize. Dont you dare feel ashamed. And dont you dare say its you're fault. Cause Marshall you have nothing to apologize for and you have no reason to feel like it's your fault....ok?" he nodded with tears pooling in his eyes. Gumball pulled away and bit the bottom of his lip hesitating "what's wrong Gumball?"

"We are executing Ashely" he looked up at him and Marshall had a wide eye expression with shock showing on his face. But it softens a bit and he sighs.

"Ok" was all he said. Gumball was a bit surprised he thought Marshall would put up more of a fight but he didnt.

An hour later the execution was about to take place. "I wanna come and watch" Gumball flipped around shocked by his comment
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Ok I'll get a wheelchair to transport you"
Gumball went to grab wheelchair. Marshall got up and held onto the metal bar that held his IV bag up. Gumball brought the wheelchair in and Marshall slowly sat down as Gumball placed the IV bag on the hook that was attached to the chair.
Gumball pushed him to where the execution was being held. Many people came from different kingdoms.

Gumball pushed Marshall to the front. Ashely was brought out by the executioner with a sack over her head. When he pulled it off she was crying. She then spotted Marshall and glared at him, but he didnt move and he didnt flinch.

"YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING DISGUSTING MONSTER MARSHALL YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE EXECUTED NOT ME YOU FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT"

As she was screaming Marshall didnt move except he did flinch when she called him a monster.

Gumball noticed and grabbed his hand and squeezed it. She screamed a few more insulting words at Marshall then it happened.

The executioner had let go of the rope holding the heavy sharp blade it had fallen  slicing her neck off of her body and with a sickening thud her head had fallen into a basket. She was dead. Marshall had let out a breath that he didnt know he was holding in. He sighed in relief. 

It was over. She couldnt hurt him anymore. But in the back of his mind the words of hurt and physical pain she had inflicted upon him still lingered and would haunt him for a while.
