Not up as soon as I was hoping for, but yeah. I stayed home from school today. Sick. On state testing day. Yup.
ANOTHER NOTE: This also isn't based on 312cm's "Irony." Apparently, I'm horrible at original concepts. D:
Chapter 2- Midnight
Mabel slowly began to open her eyes, and then blinked. Dipper, Stan, Soos, and Wendy were looking down at her. Dipper sighed. "Thank goodness your alright!"
Mabel sat up and rubbed her head. "Ugh... what h-happened?"
"Dude, you got attacked by like, this wolf thing!" Soos said. "At least that's what Dipper said."
"Wolf?" Mabel uttered. She could sort of make out a wolf as she looked out the window, but her vision was blurred. Suddenly pain shot through her right arm. She held it and gritted her teeth. As her vision focused, she noticed it was bandaged.
"Oh yeah, you got roughed up pretty bad," Wendy said. "You should get some rest, kid."
Stan peered out the window. "Yeah, it's getting dark out. You two should get to bed."
"But-" Mabel started.
"No way, Mabel," Dipper said. "The best thing for you right now is sleep."
Mabel growled. "Fine..."
Dipper helped his twin off of the couch, then led her upstairs to the attic. He who was already in his pajamas waited in the hall while Mabel got into hers, then sat down on her bed before they went to sleep. "You sure your okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Alright..." Dipper climbed into his own bed, keeping a close eye on his sister. "G'night Mabel."
"G'night Dipper."
Dipper awoke at 2:37 that morning to the sound of Mabel calling his name. He rubbed his eyes until he was somewhat awake, then a realization hit him. "Mabel? What's wrong?"
Mabel groaned. "Dipper... I don't feel so good..."
Dipper snapped wide awake. "What do you mean?" he asked, getting up and grabbing his hat off of the dresser.
"My head hurts, Dipper..." Mabel was curled up under the covers holding her head. Her sheets were stained red.
"Um..." Dipper started. He sifted through his dirty clothes pile until he found his vest, then pulled out volume three and started flipping through the pages. "Don't move, Mabel! C'mon, c'mon, where is it?!"
Mabel groaned. "Hurry up, Dipper..." Her teeth were getting sharper.
"Ah-ha! There it is! The monster we fought! It's... it's..." He'd seen this page before. "...the Malkrobuss? I can't believe I didn't realize that!"
"What does it say...?" Mabel asked worriedly.
Dipper ran his finger over the text. "'The Malkrobuss is a canine-like creature with an appearance similar to a quadruped werewolf. From my research, there are about three living in Gravity Falls. I was able to befriend two of them. However, the third is extremely vicious.'" Dipper and a very nervous Mabel exchanged glances. He kept reading. "'Their bites and scratches are infectious and will transform any adversary... into a Malkrobuss like itself!' Mabel, do you know what this means?!" He looked over his shoulder, but Mabel was hiding under her covers, whimpering.
"Dipper, I don't want to be a monster..."
Dipper gritted his teeth. Slowly he pulled back his twin's covers, to which he found a small creature passed out in Mabel's pajamas; a small canine-like creature with tiny fangs, a fluffy tail, semi-sharp looking claws, thick brown fur and spikes along her spine. Her right foremost leg was bandaged and blood-stained.
"Oh..." Dipper held her tightly in his arms. "Mabel, I'm so sorry... I should have protected you..."
Mabel's my favorite. I've always been attracted to sidekicks like Sapphire (pokespe), Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog), and Luigi. I also have a tendency to write fanfictions where horrible things happen to them! :D
