I'M SO SORRY!
I was really busy! I'm on break for Thanksgiving, and I was spending some quality time with my friends, and I didn't have any free time to write! My friends helped to lift me from the depths of depression, though, so that's a good thing. But when I finally had time to turn on my iPod and check for emails...well, I almost passed out. THANK YOU! I know what I'm thankful for today...
YOU.
Again...
I'M SO SORRY FOR EVERYTHING!
I await all the angry reviews I'm bound to receive.
On a different note...
I guess I was pretty cryptic last chapter (?) 'cause I've had a lot of questions. Let's answer some of the more popular ones.
1. Finn is immortal; the Cosmic Owl made him choose between immortality, mortality, and death as a reward for being so good. Death agreed to Finn's choice, and Finn was made an immortal human.
2. He chose to be immune to vampire bites so Marceline can bite him without turning him; if you'll remember, she has an insatiable lust for human blood that prevents some of their intimate moments.
3. Azrial will be up sometime in December. Maybe it'll be a Christmas present. Okay so that wasn't a question, but I needed to tell y'all so ya don't think I've abandoned you. I won't. Never. You're stuck with me for all eternity :p so deal.
ON ANOTHER DIFFERENT NOTE...
This is the shortest thing I've ever written. I'M SO SORRY but my fight scene muse was deader than a doornail.

Chapter 42: The Battle
"NO!" Finn shouted, throwing himself between the Prince and his family.
The blast hit him like an entire kingdom, and he was thrown against the cage. He felt every bone in his body break, heard Marceline scream.
Then he got back up.
Stiffly, but he did. His bones healed almost instantly.
"Tough break, demon," he grunted. "I've been blessed by the Cosmic Owl. And you're. Going. Down," the human charged, punching the Prince hard in the face before retrieving his sword.
I'm immortal...but not to blades, Finn remembered as the Prince's sword materialized in its hands. The human charged his father and swung his sword hard. The Prince's met it, that shred of Finn's mother's soul rippling up and down in the shadows. Furious, Finn struck again, but was blocked.
Then it was the Prince's turn.
It twirled around and created a shallow gash in Finn's side. Blood began to flow.
"Finn!" Marceline shouted. "You dimwit, be careful!" but he heard the fear invading her voice. He leapt away from the Prince. He was a changed man. He had much more to lose.
"I promise!" he managed to reply as he struck at the Prince, but it dodged.
"Die, foolish mortal!" it snarled, striking. Finn parried again. He then disarmed the demon.
"And stay dead," Finn snarled as he stabbed his father where its heart was supposed to be before hurrying to Marceline's cage, which had broken with the Prince's supposed death. She wrapped her arms around him, trembling.
"Finn...it...it..." she started to cry, burying her head in his chest.
"I know, he said softly. "I know," then she was doubling over in pain, looking up at him through frightened eyes. "What? Marcie, what's wrong?" but somewhere deep inside, he already knew.
"Finn...the baby...it's coming!"
And thus ends Unholy. Heehee. Be on the lookout for Azrial!
