Dipper waited.
He waited for Mable to turn into a wolf. Waited to hear her soft voice again. He had even brought her to the exact same place he had awoken in. When he became a wolf. Dipper looked up at the sky. The sun had died a long time ago and the moon was in the middle of the sky. The exact time he had woken up at.
A tear fell down from his face.
"Mable?" He nudged his sister's lifeless body.
"Mable? Mable wake up!" Dipper started sobbing, shoving her body.
She didn't move. Her body was in an awkward position now. Dipper wasn't sure if she would ever come back. Dipper looked up at sky, crying even more. He let out a howl, followed by more endless howls.
Finally Dipper stopped. He laid his head down on Mable's bloody stomach. He stared off into the distance with no expression, just letting his face get all bloody as he cried. All the thoughts flooded into his mind.
What's wrong with her?
Is there any way she could be saved?
Was it a mistake for him to be alive right now?
Dipper let out a small wail. How could he have killed his sister? He felt like a monster now. Dipper didn't recall ever knowing this would work for sure. Fade had never said anything other than killing if there weren't enough members in the pack.
That is what he had done. He just didn't know how he could have done it to his own sister. She deserved to live, be human. Not a smelly old wolf.
Dipper eased of her as he heard the bushes rustle. He would protect her sister no matter what, even if she was dead.
He looked over his shoulder to see Fade, staring at him. He didn't even look sad at all while Dipper was stricken with grief. If he were to die, he didn't even care. How could he live with himself when he knew he had killed his own sister?
Fade just stared at him.
"What's wrong with her?" Dipper sniffled. "Why wont she wake up?"
Fade looked down at the young wolf. "She isn't coming back. That's why," he growled.
"C-can't you make her become a wolf?" Dipper began to cry even more. Rain clouds covered the moon as it started to pour.
Fade shook his head. It was as if he didn't even care.
"Why not?" Dipper squeaked.
"It's not an 100% chance that your victim will become a wolf. In fact, it becomes less likely if you are kin with the victim," Fade replied. "Now, let's get back to the den."
Dipper did not move. He just turned to face Fade, crouched down.
"Y-you… you never…" Dipper began.
Fade growled at Dipper. "I said let's go!"
Dipper snarled and leapt at Fade, knocking him to the ground. He walked over and pinned him down by the neck.
"You… never… said that… you traitor!" Dipper snarled violently.
Fade stared at Dipper's eyes.
"I knew this would happen.." he murmured.
Dipper growled and got prepared to strike.
"I came prepared," Fade chuckled.
Dipper heard something but did not show his fear. Suddenly Fade howled and figures leapt out of the bush at him. Dipper barked and eased off of Fade, giving Fade the opportunity to get away. Fade stood up and backed away as Dipper fought the other wolves. Wolves from his pack.
Why would Fade plan an attack on him?
That didn't matter now. Dipper fought four different wolves from his own pack. He recognized Jay, Mouse, Flake and Night. Night fought the most violently. Mouse jumped at Dipper, but he had already thought of something. Dipper crouched and lunged forwards, grabbing Mouse's arm and throwing him. Mouse crashed into the ground with a large thud and Dipper walked over to him. Mouse snarled but Dipper was not afraid. He was about to lunge at his throat but was interrupted when suddenly he got thrown to the ground. He screeched and saw Night standing over him. He scratched Dipper in the face, but Dipper responded with a strong kick to the stomach, making Night fall over. Dipper pinned Night down but was knocked over almost instantly as Flake pulled him off by the tail, keeping him in place as Jay slashed him repeatedly. Dipper snarled and bit her arm, throwing her towards the ground. Flake screeched and pounced on him, biting his shoulder. Dipper wailed and jumped around, tossing her off. Mouse leapt onto his back, but Dipper was able to hold his weight. Suddenly Mouse got much heavier as Dipper realized that Jay and Night had joined him. Dipper had wounds and gashes all over him now. Blood surrounded the area.
He could not keep this up for much longer.
Dipper lunged for Night's back leg, holding it firmly until he heard Fade howl. Jay, Mouse and Night stepped away from him. Flake stared at him before crawling away.
Fade stepped forwards. Dipper stood up slowly, one of his back legs sticking up.
"I… I will fight.." he whispered.
"What? I couldn't hear you," Fade said with a sharp tone.
"I said I will fight you!" Dipper gasped, jumping forwards and biting Fade's shoulder.
Fade easily grabbed Dipper's scruff and threw him off. He was too weak to fight, but he wouldn't give up.
He leapt at Fade again, but Fade easily moved out of the way, scratching his face as he went by. Dipper screeched and grabbed Fade's tail and pulled, knocking him over. Jay got ready to jump in, but Fade was back on his paws in less than a second. Fade snarled and pounced at him. Dipper jumped over him but Fade grabbed him by the leg and pulled, sending him crashing into the ground. Dipper screeched as he felt claws sink into his throat.
"You foolish excuse for a wolf," Fade snarled.
Dipper was too weak to fight back. He just sat there, staring at his leader in horror. Suddenly feel got sharper as he felt his neck and stomach get ripped open. Well, now he knew how Mable felt. He had killed his sister in such a horrible way. He looked at Mable's crooked body. He felt a tear raced down his face, followed by more endless tears. He dragged himself next to her weakly and put his head down on her bloodstained belly. Tears continued to stream down his face.
This was all because of Fade. He was the wolf.
"I'm so sorry Mable…" Dipper mumbled, closing his eyes for the last time.
