Adventure Time: The Finnceline Story, Chapter 8

Chapter 8: My Immortal

-Marceline's POV-

Finn and I were heading back to my house, after we arrived, we had breakfast and went upstairs to the room we shared together. When we were both in the room together, I looked him in the eyes, "Finn, can I show you something?". He shrugged and said "sure, why do you ask?", I moved over to the corner of the room towards a large object concealed by a red, quilted blanket and gestured towards the object "this is why..." I said, and pulled the blanket away. Underneath the blanket, was a black, shining grand piano, Finn looked at it in awe "wow...where did you get this?" he asked me, I kept my eyes on the beautiful instrument, "it used to be my mother's before she passed away, then my dad held onto it and recently gave it to me after we visited him" I said. I opened the lid, showing the intricate mechanical parts, and then opened the smaller lid that covered the keys. They were still as crisp and un-scuffed as they were 900+ years ago, I sat down on the bench and put my hand on the piano "my mother used to play this everyday, she even taught me a song, she had such a beautiful voice" I said, I remembered when my father would come home to the most beautiful music he had ever heard, and my mother would be playing this piano. I ran my fingers across the keys, and remembered the first time my mother taught me how to play the piano, we were both having so much fun together. "Do you know any songs?" asked Finn, I looked at him, and then down at the keys, "there is one...my mother taught it to me before the Mushroom War...before she died...but it's too sad to play" I said. "Marceline..." said Finn, his hand was on my upper back, he continued "that doesn't matter, I won't judge you about it, go ahead...", "thank you Finn" I said, some tears forming in my eyes. I wiped the tears away and turned to face the piano keys "alright...here goes nothing..." I said, I placed my hands on the keys, and started playing, my mother's angelic voice rang from my lips as I played.

"I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone"

"These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase"

My pain and suffering poured out through these lyrics, all the friends and family I've had in my existence, were gone. It felt like I've had to spend an eternity without them.

"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me"

Memories of my mother appeared in my mind, we had so many good times together.

"You used to captivate me

By your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me"

Years of agony resonated though my voice. Years of feeling guilty, and of my desperate searching for finding somebody to love.

"These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

Many of my relationships had gone either good or bad, sometimes the guy I was with would die before I could save them, or they would do something so distasteful (even for myself), which would cause me to break up with them.

"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me"

"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along"
