A/n: That moment when you realize school has just begun . What really sucks is I have 2 other fanfics going on and I wanted to finish at least one of them before summer ended. I would have too but life kept getting in the way. "Yay life!" Chibi sarcastically cheered. Anyways everyone seemed to like the last chapter. I'm glad to see that. So I own nothing and on with chapter 11.
*Mabel's pov*
I woke up and the first thing I noticed was that had a raging head ache. I moved the hand the rub it only to realize I didn't move my hand. I looked around and then noticed I was tied to a wooden in a pitch black room. I struggled the best I could but soon gave up. Whatever was holding me to the chair, presumably rope, was too strong for me to break.
To say I was scared would be an understatement. I've taken beatings but never have I been tied to a chair and left in a dark dank room. I let out a small whimper out of fear. That's when a light was turned on making me have to close my eyes.
"I can't believe a pretty lady like you had this stone all along," Said a female's voice.
I opened her eyes to realize it wasn't a female that said that but a boy. He was couple years younger than me, had giant white hair and looked kind of familiar…
"W-Who are you? Where am I?" I asked trying to sound tough.
"Why you're at your own house in your basement. As for your other question I am Gideon Gleeful child physic."
"Whatever just untie me from this chair!" I demanded. Whoever this kid was something about him just made my skin crawl.
"Now now no need to be so sassy. I'd be glad to untie you from that chair. If you accompany me on a date." Gideon replied a smile forming on his lips.
I felt appalled. This kids knocked me unconscious, tied me to a chair and the expected me to go on a date with him? Who does this kid think he is?!
"Gross no way!" I said struggling harder.
"Alright then I guess you leave me no choice."
Gideon reached into his pocket and took out the object I had recently found. The golden rock!
"Hey give that back!" I exclaimed struggling harder.
"No can do sugar plum. You don't know it yet but you actually are in love with me and want to go on a date. You just need a little….persuasion… "He whispered in my ear giving me Goosebumps. I swear if I don't get away from this kid soon I might get put into jail for murder. Also what did he mean by….persuasion?
Looks like I was about to get my answer because not long after saying that he rose the rock in the sky and started talking;
"I wish that Mabel was madly in love with me!"
I gasped and cringed bracing myself for the magic to manipulate my feelings. Fortunately though…nothing happened.
"what! Why didn't anything happen?" Gideon exclaimed.
I let out a sigh of relief. Though my relief turned to panic when I saw him take out a journal that looked a lot like Dippers.
"Hey how did you get that journal?"
"What?" He demanded holding the journal in front of him and giving me a good look at the cover. That's when I noticed something.
Dipper's journal has a 3 on it. This one has a 2 on it….Oh no!
"So you know about the other journal huh?" Gideon asked.
I didn't answer. I didn't want to put my only friend in anymore danger. However I think it's too late for that. I was such a fool. My stupid actions have put Dipper's life at risk. Dipper…I'm sorry…
"If you know about the journals that means you must know how this rock works. How do I make it grant me my wish?!"
"I don't know," I responded. Dipper didn't say any requirements to make your wish come true. Just make a wish and it comes true. I honestly didn't know why it wasn't working.
"So you're not going to talk huh? Alright then."
Gideon snapped his fingers and two figures came out of the shadow.
"Mom! Dad!" I exclaimed.
"You two! Beat the answer out of her until she confesses how I get the rock to grant my wish," Gideon commanded.
Instead of listening to his command however they just looked at each other uneasily. That must mean mom's sober. Usually she would jump on the chance of beating me but only when she's drunk. Dad didn't wail on me like mom did however. He just didn't care.
"Didn't you two hear me?! I said beat her up!"
My parents looked at each other again before my father spoke.
"Look Mr. Gleeful sir don't you think you're going a bit too far for a rock that may not even grant your wish?"
Gideon glared at my parents as he spoke;
"Listen here you vermin! I AM YOUR BOSS! YOU listen to ME! Now get the answer out of her with any means necessary or you get no money!"
My parents looked at each other again looking doubtful. They weren't going to beat me up. They actually loved me. They actually cared about me more than money. All these years I thought they could care less about me but they're going to choose me over however much Gideon offered them.
My happy thoughts were washed away however when I was my mom pick up a knife and advanced towards me.
"Don't take this the wrong way honey we do love but we need the money," My mom said.
I was too shocked to say anything. For a second I actually believed they loved me. They were choosing money over their own daughter?!
"Don't worry Mabel. It will all be over as soon as you tell us how to make the rock work," My father said as he picked up a baseball bat.
I looked around the room trying to find a way out of this only to realize there was no escape. Silent tears started to roll down my face as the realization hit me that all hope was lost. I knew that I wouldn't make it out alive. So with no other options left I was just lowered my head as tears clouded vision and accepted my fate.

*Dipper's pov*
I woke up in a cold sweat. I had had a horrible nightmare that Mabel had died and I was too late to save her. I still remember it vividly too. She was so weak and cold. Her once brown hair silky hair was now all crusty and caked with blood while her skin was so pale. I shivered just thinking about it. The worst part was that….it seemed so real…
Shaking my head as an attempt to rid myself of these visions I looked at the clock.
8:00am.
I got up off the floor and stretched. Why was I on the floor again? Oh yeah Mabel slept over and since she was so beat up I let her sleep on my bed. I better wake her up so we can report hr parents for child abuse and neglect.
I turned to the bed she was supposed to be on only to realize she wasn't there.
I panicked a little as I remember the dream. I quickly shook it off however.
'She probably just went to the bathroom or something.'
I walked towards the bathroom only to realize the door was wide open and she wasn't there either! I ran into the living room, the kitchen, and the gift shop until eventually I ran into Grunkle Stan literally.
"Hey watch it kid! Why are you in such a rush?" He asked his voice laced with a mixture of annoyance, curiosity and concern.
"Grunkle Stan have you seen Mabel?"
"Yeah I saw her leave at around 1:30ish. She seemed upset. Did you two get in a fight or something?"
"Grunkle Stan we have to find her!"
He must have sensed the seriousness of my tone because his face also became serious as he spoke these words;
"Get dressed then get in the car and then explain to me what going on," He said as he walked away to changed into his 'in public' clothing.
I ran to my room and got dressed and brought my journal along just in case.
'Mabel please just be safe.'
A/n: This was supposed to go up Monday but I had my first day of 10th grade Tuesday and couldn't finish it. So I was going to upload this chapter Tuesday after school and as you may or may not know fanfiction was undergoing maintenance I'm guessing and no one could log into there accounts or leave reviews. At least I finally got it uploaded. Anyway's tell me what you think. Until next time.
