Marco Diaz vs The Falls
Chapter 9: The monsters attack
-Explain me again what we have to do exactly...-Marco said as he followed Dipper Pines through the Gravity Falls' woods
The 16-years-old teen gave him a kind of journal with a blue cover that he was holding with his left hand.-Grunkle Ford said that there are a lot of creatures we have to interview to know what is going on in this town-the teen explained with a concentrated look on his face, definitely decided to find out the truth behind these new bunch of monsters that mysteriously turned up out of nowhere
-Wait, what is going on in this town?-the Latino wondered confused, though he was honestly worried about knowing the answer
-Marco, I told you this place is crazy... and my uncle and I study these abnormal things-
-Yeah, I know... but I still don't understand why now you're acting so paranoid-the young adult said, trying to read through his obvious lies
Dipper looked around anxiously. Alright, his great uncle suddenly decided to let Marco help, but that didn't mean he trust him yet. In fact, the twin wasn't so sure if his uncle wanted the new visitor to work with them so he could be of use or because he distrusted him so much that he wanted to know him better. And that's why Dipper wasn't allowed to tell Marco what really happened in Gravity Falls. He couldn't tell him the real objective of their mission. Actually, his sensei thought that they were in some kind of monster haunting and that he was necessary due to his fighting skills, because that was what the shack's scientist told him. But Marco knew better to believe the old man's words, because he distrusted him as much as the scientist did with himself. He knew that they were hiding something, and that feeling was killing him inside. What would happen if they discover the real reason for his staying on Gravity Falls?
-It's... only for investigating!-Dipper reposed, trying not to sound suspicious.-We just want to know more of these new creatures... also, we still don't know what those scissors that the shape shifter used were...-the teen opined, rubbing his chin. That pair of scissors was the main thing that caught his attention.
-Right...-the Latino said raising his eyebrow in a disapproving way trying to make his younger mate talk.-So... where are we going?-
-Uh?-his pal asked nervously before realizing his partner had given up in asking what was really going on.-Oh, yes! We're going to meet some friends of us...-
-Friends? You're talking of some other people like you two who investigate weirdness or something like that?-
-Oh, just wait and you'll see... just follow your guide-
Marco chuckled.-Okay, let's go, "guide"-he said shoving him in a playful way before they started laughing again
-Hey there, Jeff-greeted Dipper with a friendly smile as he and Marco got inside a particular part of the forest where everything seemed magical, full of glitter, with a considerable amount of mushrooms and beautiful flowers that reminded Marco of the pixtopia dimension
From behind a tree, a little brunette gnome came out with a smile.-Good morning, Dipper Pines and...-He then turned to Marco, and as soon as he saw him, his smile disappeared, being transformed into a shocked expression.-W-who are you?-the gnome asked in confusion
-Oh, I know we're not supposed to bring other humans... but, this is Marco Diaz, he's going to help me in my investigations today-the brunette 16-years-old teen explain, without noticing how the gnome wide opened his eyes in surprise at the sound of the young adult's name.
Despite the boy's ignorance, Marco was very aware of that. "Oh, please don't tell me here we go again..." the teenage thought worriedly as he extended his hand to him (and ducked a little).-Nice to meet you, Jeff-Marco said with a fake smile
The gnome stood surprised for a while before relaxing his muscles and smirking.-Oh, no, the pleasure is all mine, Marco Diaz from Earth-
It didn't last much until the karate boy noticed his smirking and frowned at it, mentally preparing himself to act in case that little monster tried to attack. Though he was a bit worried if that creature was planning to attack, because they knew Dipper... what was he going to tell Dipper if he discovered or noticed something?
-Well, now that we all know each other, we could go to the important part-continued Dipper with his head inside the blue journal.-We came because we want some information about a weird encounter we had with a shape shifter a few days ago-he explained before taking the blue journal, opening a page and showing it to the gnome.-That creature had a pair of scissors that looked like this-he related pointing at a drawing of the scissors he made.-The monster attacked us and then, using these scissors, it opened some sort of portal and disappeared before us-
The little gnome rubbed his chin, extremely focused on the drawing he was being showed.-You mean those Mewni's things?-he asked
-Mewni's?-the twin questioned confused while Marco's eyes wide opened in fear of the mention of that dimension he knew so well
-Mewni... it's a dimension. It is said that they created those scissors with the help of the queen's magic. They're called "dimensional scissors" and you can travel to any dimension with a pair of them, they're quite useful if you know how to use it!-
-Dimensional scissors?-Dipper repeated astonished, realizing how useful having a pair of those would be
Marco, on the other hand, was trying his best not to drop his mouth at that new information. He knew what that device was since the beginning, but he never truly though Dipper would find out the truth! Now, if he put two and two together he would find out that Mewni had some kind of relation with the monsters' intentions, and if he did that, the hat bearer would soon find out that Marco had something to do with it, due to the fact that almost every mewman knew him as the "princess' best friend/potential future boyfriend", and then... HE WAS DEAD.
-I didn't know traveling through dimensions like that was possible... how do the scissors work?-the twin asked curiously
-Eh...They're charged with fairy dust... or well, hold up a second... SHMEBULOCK!-he called making another gnome with grey hair and lazy eyes go out from some shrubs.-Do you still have that pair of dimensional scissors?-
-Shmebulock-the gnome answered blinking the right eye and after other seconds the left one
-They were charged with fairy dust, right? Or with unicorn magic? I don't really remember that...-
-Shmebulock-
-Do you know how to get a new pair?-
-Shmebulock-
Dipper and Marco stared at each other raising their eyebrows in misbelief at the gnomes while they had that weird "conversation". None of them was really sure of Jeff's ability understanding the other gnome, but they didn't question, thinking that maybe those "shmebulocks" they were saying probably meant something or was some kind of "gnome thing".
-Right...-continued Jeff giggling.-Thanks for your help, Shmebulock!-
-Shmebulock!-the gnome said before turning away and leaving
-So, what did he say?-Dipper wondered a bit frustrated at not being able to know what they meant
-Uh... I have no idea-Jeff admitted looking down ashamed
-Is he seriously the only gnome who had dimensional scissors?-
-I think so... he's been through a lot of dimensions...-he lowered his level of voice and made signs for the teens to get closer with his hands.-That's probably why he seems so traumatized-he explained whispering
-Wait, does that mean that that's it?! There's nothing else you can tell us?!-Dipper questioned a bit mad at the creature
-Hey! At least I'm helping you!-the gnome reclaimed.-We gnomes are a really powerful race and you're lucky we didn't untie our fury on you!-he threatened trying to sound scary, though the teens didn't find him frightening at all, in fact he was rather cute
-Sure thing, little guy...-Dipper said trying to contain a giggle.-So, you can't tell us anything else... but do you know of any other creature that could help us?-
-Maybe... but you'll have to follow me-
-Oh, that's not problem!-the curious boy exclaimed relieved, for a second he thought he would have to find a new queen for them or more squirrels or another weird gnome thing for them in exchange of information.-C'mon, Marco!-
-Oh, woah, woah, wait!-Jeff screamed lifting his little hands up.-I told you to follow me... not your friend-
-We're not friends; we're just acquaintances-Dipper clarified before staring at the small guy surprised.-Wait, why can't he go?-
-Because it's a gnome secret! And who says we can trust him?-the gnome asked looking at the Latino boy in the eye in a threating way, even though the human wasn't scared at all. He only seemed annoyed by his strange behavior in fact.
-But he's with me, guys! He won't hurt you-
-If you don't come alone, then I won't tell you anything-the creature decided folding his arms
Dipper stared at Jeff angrily, not being able to leave his new friend behind. At the moment in which Marco saw the teen's expression, he sighed, knowing that his new partner wouldn't agree that deal, even if he wanted to know what was happening with his entire heart. The 16-years old was too loyal to leave him alone.
-You should go, Dipper-the Mexican said reluctantly
-Wait, what?-
-Yeah! I'll be okay, waiting for you and guarding the place... knowing what that weird monster wanted is important, don't worry for me-he said trying to chuckle a bit despite his insecurity
Jeff internally smirked at this as he signaled to Dipper to follow him.-C'mon, giant, let's meet the rest of the gang...-he then walked closer to some others gnomes.-Oh, and you take care of that teen. His name is Marco Diaz and he'll be waiting here... you know what to do...-he muttered to one gnome who suddenly frowned determined
And like that, Dipper and the gnome's leader started to walk away, getting deeper in the woods. As soon as they weren't visible anymore and not footsteps could be heard, all of the gnomes in the place turned around to stare at Marco with an attacking stand and growling in a threatening way. The Latino looked at them in confusion as he lifted his hands up in a defensive mode.
-Hey, little fellas...-the human started giggling.-I... I'm a friend of Dipper, I don't mean any harm and...-
-Oh, we know it-one of the gnomes said walking closer to him.-And we don't mean any harm either... as long as you tell us what we want to know-
-What you want to know?-he repeated confused. The teenager wide opened his eyes, before narrowing them in a curious way. What did they mean? Could it be that those gnomes were treating him because of the same reason that the shape shifter did it? Were they after Star? It was a big possibility, but if it was true, then he was right and something big was happening. Something he had to find out as soon as possible...-What information do you want exactly?-
-Tell us where Star Butterfly is!-the gnome reclaimed
Yes, it was definitely related to Star.-What?! Why do you even want it?-the young adult questioned angrily
-We are the ones who make the questions here, smart guy!-another gnome exclaimed pointing at him.-Speak up or we'll have to untie our fury on you-
-I don't know where she is!-he exclaimed with sad eyes.-There's no reason to start a fight!-
The little creatures laughed.-Oh, you think we're silly, right? You're underestimating us, AREN'T YOU?!-a gnome yelled angrily, talking about an obvious touchy topic those monsters had
-What?! I'm not!-
-Then, start talking! Otherwise you will regret it!-
Marco sighed annoyed, a bit sick of the conversation.-Look, guys; I don't even know what happened to her! I wish I did... I swear it... but I was on Earth when it happened!-
-Oh, right... tell that tale to another human, boy!-the gnome clapped his fingers and the rest of the creatures pointed at the young adult with their pointy red hats in a threating way.-Talk now!-
The Latino boy rolled his eyes and started to stand in a karate pose.-I really don't wanna fight you... this is useless... I'm not the person you're looking for...-he said standing in an attacking mode, ready to defend him if it was necessary
-We'll see about that... gnomes of the forest: ATTACK!-
-So, where is the creature that would know more about these scissors?-Dipper questioned confused as he kept on following Jeff
The brunette gnome laughed nervously.-Don't worry, Dipper... it has to be over... eh... here...-he said pointing behind some trees, but when they walked behind it there was nothing.-Or... here...-Jeff reposed hesitating while the human started to see the situation a bit suspicious
-You don't know where it is, right?-
-Puff!-Jeff shoved the idea of with a giggle before looking at the ground ashamed.-No, I don't-
-Oh, great! Just great!-the twin exclaimed angrily at all the time he was losing.-Do you have any idea of how many monsters I have to interview today?!-
-Sorry, Dipper, but there is a big chaos going on in one of the most important and powerful dimensions... and we want to help... and we also want more wild life in this forest-the little man explained with a dreamily look
-What are you talking about? Which dimension is in danger?-Dipper questioned extremely confused and annoyed because he couldn't understand why the creature started to talk about that specific topic out of nowhere
At his confusion, Jeff laughed.-Oh, my squirrels! You don't know it!-
-Know what?! Speak clearly!-the brown-haired reclaimed, desperate to find an answer
-You don't know that...-but before the gnome could explain it, a loud war shout was heard, interrupting their conversation and worrying both of them
-What was that?-
Jeff and Dipper ran to the place where those screams were from and they found themselves in front of a controversial scene: Marco using his karate against the gnomes as they were trying to attack him.
-What the heck is going on here?!-the twin asked shocked as the situation reminded him of the first time he found himself with those creatures, but instead of attacking his sister, they were attacking his new friend
-Oh... it's just... I said I didn't like... butterflies and they kind of freaked out-the Latino explained as they stopped fighting slowly at the sight of Dipper
-Funny fact... I thought you should be their number one fan-Jeff smirked as Marco glared
-Yeah, he said that... it's unforgivable!-a gnome said as he bit Marco's left foot
-Ouch!-the young adult screamed angrily, before taking the creature in his hands.-You little monster!-he exclaimed with rage in his eyes.-Do you have any idea of how much we have to walk to go back to the shack?-he protested pointing at him in disapproval, almost as if he was telling him off.-You can't just go walking through your life and biting people's feet!-
-Okay, okay... calm down...-Jeff ordered reluctantly.-Our friend is harmless and even if he doesn't like butterflies...-he said almost as a metaphor.-He's still a friend of the pine tree hat kid, so we have to be more patient-
-But you said you didn't like the pine tree hat kid-another gnome reposed confused
-Shut it, Steve!-the leader exclaimed angrily.-Now, Dipper, Marco Diaz from Earth, you can leave... I have to talk to the rest of the gnomes about planning the kidnapping of Mar... I mean, planning how to get more information about those scissors-
-Was I the only one who found that situation with the gnomes quite peculiar?-Dipper wondered to Marco as they were walking away from The Gnomes Forest
The Latino boy chuckled a bit.-Yeah... those gnomes acted really weird... they're quite sensitive to feel affected only because I said that I didn't like butterflies, do you agree?-
-I was a bit caught up by the fact that Jeff said that "he would have bet you liked them" actually...-Dipper suddenly commented raising an eyebrow.-What do you think he meant?-
"Her surname was Butterfly, like butterflies" thought Marco angrily answering mentally the question before rubbing his chin confused.-I have no idea... another weird gnome stuff probably; anyway, which monster do we have to interview now?-
Dipper frowned at that answer. For some reason, he had a feeling like the gnome had said that because of something, something that he didn't know, but he should. Suddenly, the idea of distrusting Marco started to spin around his head, what if his great uncle Ford was right? After all, it wouldn't be surprising. And his uncle and himself had been tricked by Bill Cipher, so they knew how it was like to be fooled by someone. Moreover, due to this, Dipper had the bad habit to distrust in people; there was a part of him that didn't find the idea of trusting in someone blindly pretty pleasant. Anyway, another part inside of the boy was telling him that Marco was someone trustable, but even he knew that part was the one that also believed that they could someday become best friends.
The Latino boy realized that his younger partner didn't seem too glad to hear his explanation/excuse. But what else could he do? He couldn't just tell him the truth! It was frustrating even for him in fact, because he would really love to be friends with Dipper, but that didn't seem like a possibility. He knew it very well: lies never last, and sooner or later, the Pines family will know the truth and every single feeling of fondness they had towards him will be gone.
-The next monster we have to interview is a manotaur-the twin explained reluctantly as they kept on walking through the forest. He took his journal, which had been inside his jacket, and inspected it.-If we keep on walking down this path, we would get to the cave where it lives quite quickly-
-I'm stunned... how did you manage to earn those monster's loyalty?-the karate boy wondered curious
-Oh, that's a great story in fact, it all started when...-but before he could finish, or better said, start his story, he stumbled with a hole that was in the ground. The teen was a bit surprised because of this. Despite his usual distractive attitude, the teenager was so used to walking in the Gravity Falls' woods that he could bet that he knew every single branch of it, so he looked up to find something rather interesting.
Marco quickly walked towards his partner and grabbed his arm, helping him to stand up.-Hey, are you okay?-
Dipper didn't even startle at his friend's protective attitude, preferring instead to stare at his discovery.-Do you see that footprint?-the twin questioned pointing at the hole he stumbled on
-Footprint?-the Latino repeated confused before looking at the ground.
Yes, Dipper had stumbled with a footprint, and a really weird one. It was similar to a human's one, but it was pointier, as if it was also from a bird. Being someone pathologically curious, Dipper ducked to look at the footprint even from a closer perspective.-Who made this? I have never seen such footprint before...-
"Tired lonely nights..." a sweet female voice suddenly sang making Dipper look up from the footprint, staring at the forest confused. The woods seemed to be completely desolated; the only beings were him and Marco, right? Though he could bet that he heard that voice, and for some unknown reason, he had a desperate feeling for finding the owner of such a beautiful voice.
-Have you heard that?-the 16-years-old asked to his friend
Heard what?-Marco questioned confused
"Dead lifeless eyes" it sang again.
This time, Dipper stood up with a determined look in his eyes.-That!-
-Dipper, I can't hear anything-the Latino boy said honestly and a bit worried for his friend. He literately couldn't listen to anything out of normal moreover the typical forests' sounds such as birds singing or leaves moving.-What are you listening?-
"Hopeless lives, within lacking hearts"
-I-it's a voice...-the twin explained.-A beautiful voice singing...-he commented as his sight kept on looking for its owner.-And... I think it's from there!-the teen pointed to one sight from the woods with a wide smile and started to run through that path. He didn't know where he was going, but he felt like he had to. It was an impulsion, his instinct, his heart telling him that he HAD to do it, though his mind was off, it was as if it was clouded over and he couldn't think clearly... the boy was quickly hypnotized by that beautiful, tempting, longing sound.
As soon as Dipper started to run, Marco wide opened his eyes in fear.-Dipper? Dipper!-he called as he started to follow him as fast as he could.-Dipper! Where are you going?!-
"You are so sick..."
-I am...-Dipper repeated with lost eyes before keeping his search
"Let the feeling settle in..."
-I'll do it-the teen said again with the biggest smile he could have, completely losing his mind
-Dipper! Snap out of it!-Marco kept on shouting from behind him, showing true worry for just his "acquaintance"
"You know you want..."
-Yeah...-he said as he ran even faster, obviously ignoring the karate boy's shouts and advises
"Follow your heart"
And with that final verse, the voice suddenly stopped, as well as Dipper's run. The teenager quickly looked at the sides: he was in front of a lake he had never seen before, which was weird taking in account how many times he explored that place with his sister and grunkle...
-Dipper!-Marco shouted worried before running to him.-Oh, my! Thanks goodness I found you! And what the heck were you doing?! Are you nuts?!-
-I... I don't know...-the boy answered sincerely, making the Latino worry even more
-C'mon... let's get out of here...-Marco decided turning around
-Wait! I have never been to this place...-
-So?-
-We have to investigate, Marco! This is odd... I've seen this forest from head to toes and I've never seen this place! Maybe it's some kind of lake that sometimes disappears... that would be so awesome...-
-Not as awesome as going out from this forest alive!-Marco exclaimed grabbing his friend's Arm.-We have to get out of here!-
-What? Why?-he asked almost begging to stay
-I don't know if you remember it, but you heard a singing voice I didn't hear, then you followed it, and finally it guided you here... and you want to stay?!-the young adult asked almost in a rhetorical way as he was freaking out
-Well... I don't see anyone here... and the song stopped-
Marco groaned.-Dipper, we're leaving-he said grabbing him
-Wait!-Dipper exclaimed freeing from his friend.-Why should I obey you? You're nothing to me, safe kid!-
-I'm trying to protect you, Diapper! And for your information, I am something to you!-
-Oh, yeah? And what could that be?-
-I'm your best friend, idiot!-the Latino exclaimed angrily before wide opening his eyes, realizing the epiphany he had just had: Dipper was his best friend now, and he didn't want him to get hurt, especially if he was under his sight. It all made sense... Marco was someone protective when it came to friends. He still reminded how he was like when Ferguson became the pet from his school's football team and he was so scared for him that he was the whole day checking him out. He also was protective with Star, even before he realized he was in love with her... but if Dipper was his friend? Then he wouldn't be able to...
-Good afternoon, boys-a sweet, melodic female voice said behind them
Both of them stopped staring angrily at each other to turn around and see a beautiful woman swimming in the lake. She had red hair like fire and blue ocean eyes. Her skin was extremely white and beautiful, as if it was made of porcelain. That woman seemed quite young, not older than twenty years old and her beauty was breath-taking. Dipper couldn't help but blush in presence of someone that beautiful, but Marco had his doubts.
-Who are you?-the Latino asked with a glare, pulling himself and Dipper away from the stranger
-Oh, my name is Searena-she said with an innocent smile upon her red and tempting lips that were like an apple
-Woah...-Dipper muttered, trying to hide his red face.-I... I am...-
-Dipper Pines, right?-the girl completed, still with her serene smile
-How did you know his name?-Marco questioned with a threating tone, not trusting in her at all
-Oh, the same way I know yours, Marco Ubaldo Diaz-she half explained.-That's your name, right? You are Marco Ubaldo Diaz from Earth, aren't you?-
At this question, the 18-years-old shivered a bit.-Why do you want to know if I'm that guy?-
-Please, I can see through all of you...-the red-haired explained with a smirk.-I know how you're feeling... confused... scared... worried for your friend and for all the people you'll probably hurt...-she started to move out of the water slowly, almost floating away from it.-Your heart is filled with two things: regrets, and her...-the girl finished making Marco's eyes weaken a bit
-I... I don't know what...-
-Look, Marco, I don't have anything against you and your kind... so, just tell me what I want to know and I'll leave...-
At that statement, Dipper slowly turned around to stare at his friend.-Want to know? What does she mean?-
Marco started to fear for his secret all of sudden.-I... I don't know...-he answered with shacking hands
-Oh, you do... eyes are the door from the souls, do you know?-the woman continued as three silhouettes started to come out if the water behind her.-And I can see it in your eyes... You know what I mean, but you wish you didn't... so...-she suddenly stopped talking and her voice for some reason only echoed in Marco's ear, being the Latino the only one able to listen to her soft but threating whisper.-Tell us where Star Butterfly is-
The boy froze as three more girls similar physically but with different hair color and eyes appeared behind the first woman. One girl was blonde with green eyes, another one brunette with light brown eyes, and the last one with black hair and dark colored eyes. Marco's levels of fear increased in a 100% as he tried to grab his friend to get out of there, but it didn't work. For some weird reason, Dipper wouldn't move, he just stood there inanimate as a statue. No matter how hard he tried, how much force he used upon him, Marco couldn't make the twin move an inch.
-Dipper! C'mon! Snap out of it!-he kept on exclaiming as he doubled his effort to move him, trying to pull him from all the possible sides, from the left to right, from feet to arm, but everything seemed helpless.-Why aren't you moving?! Oh... wow... you are stronger... Did my karate classes work on you?-
And then, he stared at Dipper's eyes, where something caught his attention. His eyes' irises were suddenly completely black and wild, in a trance and hypnotized by those girls' beauty and singing (that Marco couldn't hear by the way). The brunette teenager's face seemed speechless and paler than usual. It was almost as if a part of him was missing, as if he wasn't himself in the moment.
-I'll do it; my lady-Dipper suddenly said starting to walk to the lake
-D-Dipper?-the Latino called trying not to have a heart attack. And as he followed the boy with his sight, he saw it: the ladies inside the lake were moving their lips, they were speaking, probably singing because of the grace they were putting in their bodies and movements, but Marco couldn't hear it. He wasn't able to listen to their marvelous voices singing a death song, inviting Dipper to jump to the lake with them, to be with them for the whole eternity.-What are you doing?! What are you going to make him do?!-Marco shouted worried
At this, the women started to sing louder, trying to affect Marco. However, they were frozen when they realized that they couldn't make It.-Why aren't you falling for our singing, insignificant mortal?!-Searena asked angrily, lifting to the air with her wings that came from the lower part of her arms
-Wait... you have wings?-
-Of course I do, mortal!-the woman shouted angrily, flying closer to him, but the boy was faster and jumped to the other side before she could attack him. All of a sudden, her beauty was replaced with a face full of hatred, red eyes and fangs instead of teeth.
-Oh gosh... looks can really be deceiving sometimes...-Marco muttered shocked, but his sarcastic comment only made the girl angrier
-Ah!-She shouted.-You can't listen to our song!-she said almost throwing a tantrum
The karate boy took advantage of her anger and stared at Dipper before shouting his name.-DIPPER!-he exclaimed extremely worried as he was seeing his friend walking to the deeper part of the lake, without even trying to swim, he was just walking to the others three girls who were standing in a tall rock in the middle of the water.
"How should you feel?" They sang as the boy obeyed, unable to deny their beauty and their amazing talent for singing
"Come here with me... Forget your fears... Come here with me"
-Let Dipper go!-Marco ordered pointing at the red-haired who laughed
-Oh, you do care for him, right?-she turned to see him.-He actually seems nice... it would be such a shame if he didn't stay with us...-
The 16-years-old made a step closer to them, and the water was almost covering his mouth, which continued opened. "Love could be real... Come here with me..."
-No! Let him go! He has nothing to do with this!-the Latino teen tried to persuade her, but she continued ignoring
-I always wanted a Pine Tree with us...-she limited to say
Marco looked down, in a thoughtful mode. It didn't matter if Dipper was a Pines, he didn't deserve that ending. No one did... anyone but himself. In any case, he was the one to blame, the one who provoked it all. He brought a lot of pain to all the people he really cared for: his parents, his friends, the Pines, Star... but he couldn't talk...
"Fall to your knees..."
-Oh... I love this part...-the woman said as the other girls got closer to Dipper, who was almost drowning, but still he didn't move
Yeah, Marco couldn't say anything if he wanted to protect his princess... but he should be on his friend's place...
-Wait a second...-he muttered and before the sirens could sing "Die here with me" and kill Dipper, the teen made a decision.-WAIT!-
And the women stopped every move.-Are you talking, mortal?-Searena wondered with a smirk
-Better yet: take me instead of him-the human proposed.-Let Dipper go and take me to interrogate or whatever you want, but let him go-
Searena smiled at that option.-Alright, Marco Diaz... we'll take you instead-
Then, she quickly clapped her fingers, making Dipper go out of his trance and recover his conscious. And as soon as he turned back to normal, the teen fierily swam away from the water, almost scary of it. The Latino sighed in relief, realizing that it was his friend again.
The twin rubbed his forehead, extremely confused, as he started to gain some memories.-What has just happened?-
-Sirens...-Marco explained as Dipper stared at him confused
And as soon as he looked at him, the sirens jumped from the water, grabbed Marco and drowned him in the lake with them.
-Marco!-Dipper shouted worried, but before he could do anything he closed his eyes, looking in his mind for some kind of information about "sirens". Well, they were beautiful women with birds' wings and legs who sang a hypnotizing song to drown humans... he and Marco must have obviously been affected for that melody. It was a fact, he had to save his friend... but he needed help.
And that's another chapter! Hope you liked it, guys! I'm so glad about how many people is reading this story, thank you so much! :3
So, why do you think Dipper heard the sirens whereas Marco didn't? And what would Dipper do to save Marco? Also, why do you think those monsters are attacking? Well, you'll find out soon...
