Chương 21: Chapter 20: That's gonna leave a mark
...I'm in a hospital bed
Obviously not in a real hospital
I am in a tent where I tend to treat injured humans using my medical knowledge
That was the first thing I figured out when I woke up, but then I wondered
How did I end up here?
And then I remembered
Marcy arrived at the camp
(flash back)
"Hello....Marcy"
""Marcy!!??""
The humans seemed surprised by this revelation.
I looked at her carefully, it seems that she has changed a lot
She no longer looks like a helpless child and she has a rather confident posture.
she wears a long fur coat over an orange shirt, with shorts and yellowish boots
her hair was shaved to the sides of her head and she had a ponytail on the bottom of her head.
she was floating when she arrived
she must have murdered the fool
then I'll ask her how she did it
As Blanche watched Marceline, she also watched him.
Pov: Marcy
He is almost the same as I remembered him, his relaxed and confident posture had not changed a bit
He wears a black hooded trench coat, over a white shirt with a red vest, with black pants and black boots.
i'll admit he looked good
He was taller and more muscular, white hair that reached his shoulders and his green eyes were covered by Simon's old glasses.
Those glasses bring me many memories...
But hey, I'm not here to admire the nerd's looks.
I'm here to teach him a lesson
Pov: Blanche
Although I had a bad feeling, I decided to try to talk to her
"Marcy...I'm really glad to see you...I-"
I couldn't finish speaking
why?
Because a fist hit my eye at high speed
The blow sent me flying several meters before hitting the ground.
I was confused, with my body lying on the ground
How could she hit me?
I developed a great instinct thanks to all these years of surviving quite a few battles
So when I felt the blow approaching, I tried to turn my body into snow to absorb the attack, so I didn't try to dodge it.
As I looked up at the sky, still confused, Marcy walked up to me.
"I've been waiting for this moment for 7 years blanchie, so prepare myself well"
"Listen Marcy, I know you're mad but-"
A kick landed in my stomach, taking my breath away.
While I was in a daze, she knelt on my arms so that I couldn't escape.
"I didn't come here to listen to your excuses Blanchie, I came here to make you understand your mistakes"
A punch landed back in my face
"And to get even a little....but that's not the main reason....I think, now enough of the talk"
another punch
"My...mistakes? Marcy, I didn't make-"
another punch
"oh~ yes you did, and I'll make you understand by force if necessary, now stay still, your face is hard to hit when you move"
"If necessary??, you're already hitting me!"
Another punch landed
This is sure to leave a mark
"Meh, details"
I wanted to escape, but some kind of strange force kept me glued to the ground, I couldn't use my powers either.
My consciousness was already clouding from all the blows I received in the face
"Listen to me Marcy, I don't know what kind of mistakes you think I made-"
My refusal of her to admit any kind of mistake seemed to have made her angrier.
"Don't worry nerd, we'll talk when you're in a hospital bed!"
The last thing I remember is a lot of fists coming at me.
(End Flashback)
So that's what happened, I wonder why she didn't use her Bass-Axe
I got out of bed and stood in front of a mirror to inspect my body of her.
It's nothing too serious, just quite a few bruises and small cuts on some parts of my body
And a big black eye, it really hurts everything
It seems that I didn't break anything by some kind of miracle
I heard several steps approaching the medical store, it seems that I have visitors
"Oh, looks like you're awake now Blanche, you slept for a good 3 hours, Marceline sure hits hard"
"Marceline? Did you talk to her?"
"Oh yes, after she hit you we were all very scared, but we soon got to know her better and she turns out to be a very nice young lady."
"Of course leaving aside the beating"
"yes, Marcy has a good right hand, speaking of which, where is she?"
"right here nerd"
A third person entered the place, it was Marceline now without her coat
"Now it's time to talk Blanchie, and you'd better listen, because I still have energy in my arms."
"Marcy, I don't know what-"
Marceline raised her right fist threateningly.
"I'm willing to talk"
i'm not that stupid
"Well, since this seems like a private conversation, I'd better go, see you later"
Tom said goodbye and left quickly
He sat me on the bed with my body still a little sore.
Marcy sat in a chair next to the bed and stared at me.
"So... I know the beating was for leaving and not saying goodbye, but I don't know what mistake you think I made, could you explain it to me?"
"Oh~, do you think the beating was for leaving? It wasn't because of that, I just wanted to prove to you that I'm not a weakling"
"Then why? I don't think leaving was a mistake, if you stayed with me you would have been in constant danger"
"Hunson was the best choice-"
"Stop making excuses Blanchie, that wasn't the real reason, no matter what you say or what you think, I know why you left!"
"You know better than me why I left? I already told you, I needed to protect you!"
"No! I'll tell you why you left!"
"You left because you were afraid!"
"Afraid to be left alone!"
"This wasn't to protect me!"
"This was to protect yourself!"
the room was silent
"I... I don't know what you're talking about Marcy, I thought I made it clear in the letter, I-"
"Enough of those excuses"
"I'm angry that you left, because you considered me a helpless child, but most of all, I'm angry that you never told me about your problems or fears!"
"I was your friend, your partner, and you didn't trust me and you just left, like a teenager running away from his problems, for fear of losing me and being alone!"
"Me....."
She... she was right, it is true that I wanted to protect her, but above all, I wanted to protect myself
I always lied to myself
because I felt like a coward
After losing Simon, she was the only person I had left.
The fear of losing her... made me run away from her
I just wanted to protect my fragile spirit
Because I know that if I lost her, I couldn't continue to face everything in this world alone.
and I think she deserves an explanation
"Marcy, do you know what the first thing I felt in this world is?"
"it was fear"
"And I can't tell you why, because it would sound stupid and crazy, but from that moment on, I prepared myself to survive in this world."
"All these years were constant fear of the future, never being able to sleep peacefully thinking about the future threats I will face"
"But you and Simon were the ones that kept me happy"
"you allowed me to be happy"
"I was a coward for leaving you and running away"
"I know that was my mistake"
"For that, I'm sorry"
Marcy took my hand and sat next to me.
"Blanchie... I don't think I can forgive you now, but now that we are together again, you will have many opportunities to make it up to me."
"Yeah, how about I write you a song and you tell me how you beat me so easily?"
"Haha we'll see"
"You know, I'm glad you understood....although I'm disappointed you did it so quickly."
"Because?"
"I wanted to use my axe"
A/N: ok, we have the beating, although I'm sorry if it wasn't as bloody as you expected, but I didn't see the point of Marceline mutilating and breaking the bones of her loved one
we have character development and for the first time the real reason why the MC left is explained
in the next chapter it will be explained how marcy beat the mc, in addition to taking him by surprise
