Mabel's POV
Bipper flew back in the window and landed in the chair. After that Dipper came back into control but he wasn't ok. After a few seconds he started throwing up, but not the usual chunky green or brown stuff. This was blood, crimson and shiny.
"Mom! Dad! HELP! DIPPER NEEDS HELP!"
Mom and Dad came running up the stairs as quickly as they could, but when they saw Dipper lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood they couldn't handle it.
"Dipper!"
Mom screamed as she ran over to help him off the ground.
"Mom..."
Dipper said as she pulled him into a hug. Dad had been standing in the door way staring at the pool of blood.
Then he turned to me.
"Mabel, what happened?"
I looked from him to Dipper who was looking pale and distant. I took a deep breath, and spoke.
"He fainted then woke up and started puking blood."
Dad looked from me to Dipper who had started throwing up more blood.
"Are you ok Mason?"
Dad said because he refused to call Dipper by his nickname. Dipper had stopped throwing up and looked up at him. His eyes glowing yellow for a second.
"I'm fine, just dizzy."
Mom pulled him into another short hug and helped him back into his chair.
"Do you need anything? Water? Food? Anything?"
Mom asked Dipper with a worried tone in her voice.
"Can I have some water and chips?"
Dipper asked as he attempted to push himself to his bed. But his attempt was met with failure. He was too weak to push himself anywhere. So before Mom and Dad left they pushed him to his bed and helped him out of the chair.
"Thanks."
Dipper said before they left. Dad went to find a mop while Mom went to go get Dipper food.
"Mabel, when Bill brought me into the woods he said something about building a fortress."
I looked at my brother and I saw the fear and pain in his eyes.
"We need to tell Grunkle Ford."
He looked at me and said:
"How?"
I smirked as I responded
"Remember Mermando?"
While Dipper recovered I wrote a letter to Mermando. After that I sealed it up in one of the green bottles he had used to send letters to me. Then when Dipper woke up, him and I started to leave. Until we realized that Dipper couldn't make it down stairs.
"Well looks like you have to go without me."
Dipper said. Then suddenly he perked up and started going back to our room.
"What are you doing?"
I asked him, surprised that he seemed so happy to be left behind.
"I found something here yesterday when you were gone."
And with that said he pulled on a piece of the wall that was sticking out.
"It's a dumbwaiter. It's like a handpowered elevator."
He pulled on a rope that was hanging in the dumbwaiter shaft and up came an elevator-like box.
"You go downstairs and find the shaft, but before you do can you help me and the chair get in the box?"
Dipper was always good with plans, in the end it worked out perfectly. So Dipper and I left the house in less then ten minutes, but as soon as we left he started worrying.
"I just remembered, the river is right next to John's house, and he was the meanest kid in school last year."
I looked at my brother then at his wheelchair and then at the large bag of medical supplies he needed in order to leave the house. I thought of how much he had gotten teased and picked on last year because of his birthmark. How much was he gonna be teased for the wheelchair and medical equipment?
"Well let's hope he's not home."
We started heading off. I had to push him most of the way though because the doctor said overworking Dipper could make his condition more severe. Then we came to the river which, just like Dipper had said, was right next to John's house. To make things even worse for us John was not just home he was having a party with every jerk in the whole school.
I looked at my brother, I could see was reading the Second journal and had not noticed the party.
"Hey guys come look who I found!"
John had noticed us and was bringing every bully in the school to my brother. I started walking faster trying to get Dipper to the river as fast as I could. But John was too fast.
"Hey there Mabel, what are you doing here?"
I had forgotten that John had a crush on me last year.
"Oh just going to the river. Nothing out of the ordinary."
I said with a fake smile hoping John didn't notice the wheelchair.
"Hey, what's behind you?"
"Nothing just something I found while walking over here."
John pushed me aside and turned the chair around to reveal Dipper and the gigantic Journal he was reading.
"Well look what we found ourselves here! And I thought today couldn't get any better!"
Dipper was lifted out of his chair by John and dropped to the sidewalk.
"Ow! What the heck was that for!"
Dipper yelled at John. His eyes weren't normal anymore they were glossy and yellow.
"Oh I'm sorry did I disturb you, you freak! Let's see what you have in that journal of yours!"
John ripped the journal out of Dipper's hands and skimmed through it.
"Unicorns? Gnomes? Body Snaching Dream Demons? What is this some kind of fairy tale book!"
"Give Dipper his journal back!"
I screamed at John. He looked surprised.
"Why do you care it's not like he needs it or anything! Here I'll prove it to you."
He set the journal on the ground and picked up Dipper and the wheelchair and threw them into the river.
"Ha, that'll teach him a lesson! Oh and here's his stupid fairy tale book back."
John threw the journal at me and laughed as I ran to the river bank, tears forming in my eyes. I set the bottle into the water and watched it make it's way to the ocean. It was halfway out of sight when I saw the bright glow coming from the water. I stepped back and watched as Bill dragged Dippers limp body and the wheelchair out of the water.
"Come on Pine Tree, wake up!"
I could hear Bill whispering to Dipper. Then he dissolved back into Dippers body. Dipper awoke with a start and started coughing up water and minnows. I ran over and hugged my brother. But it was soon met with the cold echoey voice of Bipper.
"Umm, kid?"
I let go quickly and looked him in the glowing yellow cat eyes. I set up the chair and offered to help him into it.
But he refused and said:
"I gotta go teach some jerks a lesson!"
And with that said Dippers normal clothes became a yellow and black suit, his hat became a black top hat, and the wheelchair became a long sturdy cane. He flew up into the air and over to John's yard. I followed holding the journal tightly.
"Hey jerk! Didja miss me? Cause I sure didn't miss you!"
Bipper was floating above the snack table and playing with blue fire.
"Dipstick?!"
John seemed scared. So I started recording so I could show Dipper later.
"Oh, do you mean Pine Tree? Nope I'm Bill Cipher the body snaching Dream Demon! All I'm here to do is keep Pine Tree alive and teach you punks a lesson!"
With a snap of his fingers John was lifted into the air next to Bipper who whispered something in his ear.
John screamed and was dropped to the floor along with Dipper's limp body and his wheelchair.
"Dipper!"
I ran over to my brother and looked at him. He was wet but breathing, and he had his old clothes again. I looked at John and recited the sleep spell I had heard Dipper chant so many times. The next thing I saw was a pile of sleeping jerks. Then I saw Dippers eyes flutter as he woke up.
"Owwww, my head."
He looked from me to the pile of bullies.
"What did I miss?"
I showed him the video as I helped him into his chair. He seemed ok with it all and as soon as I gave him the journal back he started writing the experience down under Bill's picture.
He said that I could go ahead of him cause he wanted to be alone for a while, which I respected.
So I left and started to head back home. Unaware that that would be the last I saw of my brother for while.
Dipper's POV
After Mabel left I started crying because of how horrible I felt and because of how much pain I was in. And the next thing I knew I was leaning over the river throwing up more blood and crying so hard I could feel every bump and bruise throbbing at the same time.
After that I started heading back home taking the longer route through the woods. But, just like Mabel's nacho flavored toothpaste idea, this was a bad idea. I should have known better then to take my wheelchair through the small little paved trail next to the bluff which dropped off into, the deep woods.
Long story short I fell off the trail, rolled down the bluff and hit my head on a rock and blacked out.
I woke up to find myself in a comfortable bed in a wooden room. I felt a bandage on the back of my head and arm. I looked around and found my wheelchair and a glass of what I thought was tomato juice, which I drank immediately. Next to the glass I found a note. I picked it up and read it.
Dear Mason/Dipper Pines,
You are in the deep woods in my makeshift cottage of a house. Stay in bed until I come back, there is a TV remote in the top drawer and food in the bottom one. I hope the bandages are helping the wounds. You fell off the bluffs and down the cliff.
This was weird but I accepted it knowing that if it wasn't for whoever this was I would be dead. So I opened the bottom drawer and grabbed the plater of food which, strangely enough, had my favorite meal on it. So I ate it and turned the television on to find that I had been set to my favorite channel. This started worrying me. But not to much. What really weirded me out was the message I found on the napkin when I finished my food.
I can help. All you need to do is ask.
I was confused and freaked out by this, but before I could think about it for too long the door swung open and a brown haired girl around my age wearing an instantly recognizable blue pine tree hat walked in. She had a yellow sweater and black shorts on as well. Her hands were bandaged up as well as her feet. She looked at me while unraveling her arm bandages to reveal bite marks of all different sizes and shapes, some looking human. Her eyes were strange, they seemed to change color with every blink.
"Well look who finally woke up, and with just perfect timing!"
She said with a voice which sounded like the girl version of my voice, cracks and all.
She got to the end of her bandages and I saw something on the back of her hands but she covered them quickly with blue fingerless gloves.
"So what do you say we get those powers of yours under control?"
She asked this with a sweetness in her voice that reminded me of Mabel. I looked at her before noticing that my bangs were being held back by the bandage so my birthmark was exposed. I started turning red. I asked the girl:
"What did you say your name was?"
What do you think the girls name is? You can guess in your review! And it will be revealed in the next chapter. Also, Happy Birthday to Mabel and Dipper!
