Chapter 25:
F**ked up
After Dumbledore made it very clear that Mabel had to be the one who killed Morgana, and she had to face her alone. Then she asked why, then he replied "...its been told by diviners and centaurs alike. You must go alone, or there will be serious consequences."
So here Mabel is now, explaining all this to her friends and brother at the Gryffindore table.
"What? Thats not even fair! Hundreds of death eaters plus Morgana? How are you expected to survive?" Dipper yelled, outraged.
"The prophecy never said anything about me surviving... only me killing Morgana."
"Mabel, I'm not letting you do this." Griffin said to her.
"Me neither. If you're going, me n' Griffin are going too." Agatha said, getting up and getting ready to pack her stuff.
"No, you can't- Dumbledore said-" Mabel protested.
"I don't give a shit what that old man said." Dipper replied.
Griffin, Mabel, and Agatha all looked at him in disbelief.
"I'm going with you wether you like it or not... wether any of you like it or not." He looked around the room.
Mabel had it. "God damnit, Dipper! Stop trying to handle everything! I can take care of myself, this is my problem not yours!" She closed her mouth, Mabel never yelled like that. Not to Dipper anyway.
"And do what? Let you die? I lost you once. I won't lose you again."
"You didn't lose me, I was always there."
"Oh, I didn't? Tell that to your grave stone!" Dipper said coldly.
He crossed a line. "Thats not my fault! You stopped looking. You just gave up on me!" Her eyes watering. Mabel had been holding that in for so long, he gave up on me, he gave up on me, he gave up on me.
"What was I supposed to do? Spend every spare moment I had trying to find you?" He asked.
"Yes! Because I spent every spare moment I had trying to be there!" Mabel's tears swelled up and rolled down her cheeks. The ground shook slightly, like a baby-sized earthquake. Mabel dismissed it, "Ugh!" She stormed off. Ninja following her.
"You guys are seriously f**ked up." Griffin stated.
In the Library...
Mabel was reading The Arts and Technique of Professional Dueling in her corner. Ninja found sancuary camping under her bent legs like a tent. "Remember to never fight your opponent facing them, keep your chest facing one side, a smaller target is harder to hit." She read.
Footsteps approached the corner, she threw her invisibility cloak on which was wrapped around her as a blanket.
Griffin was there. With Dipper! Are you kidding me? Mabel thought.
Dipper looked around. All he could see was a dead end to the maze of shelves, and in the wall, Mabel's spot was carved in.
"Mabel, I know you're here." Griffin looked directly at her. "You've pulled this trick a million times." He said, swiping the cloak from her.
"Hey!" She grabbed for it. "Ugh, what do you want? And you promised not to show anyone this place. Ever."
"I'm sorry, but... I'll leave you two alone. " Griffin nodded to Dipper as he walked off.
"Mabel, I'm sorry I was such a jerk earlier. I shouldn't have just stopped looking for you, and I guess I feel kinda responsible for you getting taken in the first place." Dipper apologized.
Mabel remembered when she gave up on Dipper, "Its okay, I know, its just easier to forget. And if we're being honest... I gave up on you too, for a while."
"Awkward sibling hug?" Dipper asked.
"No, sincere sibling hug." She replied
*Pat pat* they said in unison.
