Chapter 4:
Dipper dodged it at the nick of time. The sword drove through the tree, cutting the rope in half. The sword was stuck, so Dipper had time to check on Mabel. She finally felt the ground with her very knees. Her legs were weak to stand on its own. She could feel the tingling pain in her legs. Her blood finally flows freely in her legs, but it was an inappropriate time for that to happen. Mabel was panicking alright. She's rapidly breathing and panicking, to call Dipper for help. She's immobilized and her hands and arms were the only body parts she has to move around the leafy ground. Dipper quickly attended to Mabel. She said she can't walk, so Dipper carried her and started running. The beast finally lets its sword swing loose and started chasing the twins.
Dipper's speed was a tad slower than usual. His breathing was shorter as well. He can carry his twin while walking, running but He's not sure if He can do it after making a huge sprint from the beast. He zoomed through the trees while the beast smashed through every tree aside. It's motivated to kill the both of them and they know about that. "Mabel! I need you to do something!" Dipper said to his twin, wrapping her arms around his neck. She became attentive, knowing that whatever she may do will tip the chances of their survival. "I need you to get my phone in my pocket and call Soos. The passcode is 1-4-5-6-9." She nodded.
She reached into Dipper's left pocket, hoping to find the phone from there. Empty. She leaned forward, to reach the other pocket as closer as possible. She grabbed the phone, but it almost slipped from her hands when Dipper leapt over one dead trunk. She maintained her grip, then started typing the code to Dipper's phone.
She dials Soos and puts the phone on speaker, so Dipper can tell him to fire the flare. As soon Dipper gave the order to him, He and Mabel saw a red fireball at the sky at their left. Dipper took a hard left, heading to the flare as quick as he can. They were home free, finally getting out of the dense forest to the town of Gravity Falls but something made Dipper took a huge stop.
A cliff, with the fog obscuring their vision of what's down below or across.
Why now?!, Dipper thought. Mabel worriedly looked at Dipper, "Do you have a plan?". This was unfortunate for the both of them. Dipper can't think of anything but to jump off the cliff. Mabel disagreed on his idea. It was suicidal, but picking other options will lead them to their deaths and They would prefer dying by anything but dismemberment. "Mabel, you have to trust me on this!" Why does Mabel have to pick which side is on? She doesn't know who to trust, and Dipper's journal said not to trust anyone, but Mabel trusted her twin for how long? They maybe opposites but the only similarity between the two of them is at this situation, they don't know what will happen after their choice. "Go on. Jump." She finally made her mind up. Dipper took deep breaths, slowly calming himself down. The ground trembled along with the beast's footsteps. It was getting closer and It was about to attack, But Dipper jumped to the unknown cliff while carrying Mabel in his hands before it could do anything.
A/N: Cliffhanger!
I'm not good at cliffhangers though. Can someone compliment my cliffhanging? If no one can, well I'm okay with it. So yeah. I'm getting too fond of cliffhangers am I?
I should stop it. Its like a force of habit for me.
Hope you enjoy. Don't forget to share, Favorite and review, blah blah blah, you know the drill.
Totally a huge P&F reference.
