Chapter 2: Reasons.
Dipper watched, from the roof of one of the buildings at the base, the survivors of this apocalypse of madness.
Each day was an intense struggle to survive, either by an inopportune encounter against some abomination, or a fight against the desire to take your own life, and take the life of your loved ones, in order not to suffer a dreadful death on the part of Anything disgusting and psychotic that the Weirmaggedon had to offer, fear was something that prevailed in almost everyone.
The good thing about fear is that it manages to beautify people, so that staying together and supporting each other to survive was easy, our brain interprets fear, or the emotions produced by it, in a very different way, being able to confuse your brain in such a way that, in short, fear makes people more attractive, with affection, sexual attraction or love.
Which, as said before, has made it easier for Dipper to keep the survivors together to achieve the goal of seeing a new day, although sometimes that does not make sense.
Thanks to his vast knowledge about the demons that now populate this world, acquired more than anything by the countless times he was tortured and killed by these creatures, they have turned him into an encyclopedia of demonology (and other supernatural creatures) living, so He knows how to deal with each of them.
And that ability has allowed him to become the leader, guardian and guide of what little remains of humanity.
Also that would have helped him get some girl if it were not for there are two reasons that repel them.
The first is that no girl likes to establish a relationship with a man who has still let go of the first girl he fell in love with, and it is not that he does not want but can not, especially because one does not decide when to stop loving and appreciate someone, but when you learn and never forget the reasons why you love that person, the qualities and characteristics that attract you so much to her. and more when you could never say goodbye to her.
And the second is that no girl, and almost nobody in general, wants to let someone who was cursed by a demon enter his life. (which is the version that the account to almost all)
Yes, that last is perhaps the biggest reason, although it was the leader and the people trusted him, it was a certain point, they were with the most because they did not have a better option, and that was because sooner or later ( most of all early) they discovered that he could not die ... never.
In fact a large part of everyone in the community did not trust him, on more than one occasion they tried to kill him while he slept or was distracted, but that was not the worst part. the worst part was when they risked the lives of others the survivors.
But it's not like he could bother with them at all, he actually understood them, almost everyone here has lost friends, family, loves because of Raromaggedon and his demons, deceptions, lies, cheating and others have ended the lives of many loved ones. so it is not unusual for him to react very badly when they learn that he is immortal, it is not uncommon for them to believe that it is another deceit or stratagem by some of the evil beings that populate this world en masse.
It is in fact it is thanks to this and the paranoia that more humans have left than they are left in the camp, as soon as they learn that Dipper can not die, they take their things and leave the camp, watching others as slaves or cultist who sold their soul to a demon for the false security and protection that it provides, before it is eaten or something.
That's if they do not try to kill him and the survivors first, so not only is there panic when one or more monsters are prowling nearby, but also when new survivors arrive at the base.
There was only one family that trusted him completely, even when they discovered his curse. and the only ones who know the true story of his life.
The Hanson family.
Dipper I still remember how it was their first encounter with them.
The first time he found them, he saw them as weird as one can find, a more than an Eldritch abomination whose body boils with a million faces, more than a mountain several kilometers long made with bodies of people who are still alive, more than a woman who feels good about herself.
A family of survivors.
They were a family of survivors, not a group of strangers as they found each other, but a family of blood, consisting of a father, a mother and two children.
Now the reason why this was weirder than to see that any supernatural being was because since the twisted hell was unleashed on earth, and it was discovered that there was no escape, it seems that almost all the families of the world made a suicide pact (like the "please" and "thank you", the rights of others and toilet paper).
And that was an act as horrible as logical, almost no father would like to see as his son exchange the functions of all the holes in his body, or the entire body of his son ends up becoming a twisted tangle of flesh that even is alive, so the most humane and merciful option to which almost every father and mother in this world is a quick death product of poison or a bullet in the temple, anyone would prefer that to them and theirs before they a demon is put in for "the eye of a thousand wrinkles" and make it his home ... which happens very often if Slaanesh's servants are involved.
So for Dipper to find the Hansons was by far the biggest and best experience of all.
That he found them was in the remains of a ruined city, not that this city was their home but they were trapped in it, the city was infested by creatures called "Tindalos" these beings, from another reality and whose appearance resembles that of dogs stretched like chewing gum and with a skin as flexible as rubber and as hard as concrete, the color of their skin was equal to that of dead and withered tree, were one of the worst that could be found, more than anything because his way of killing you was so horrible that it was necessary to commit suicide first before being reached by these creatures.
These creatures would graze without smell, sight or any other way of detecting that it was not touch, so that escaping from them would be relatively easy were it not for the fact that they not only seem to measure several yards and come in groups of hundreds, the worst thing is that once they detect you they will persecute you forever, they are beings that never stop and never rest at the time of hunting their prey. they are completely quiet for you to confuse them and their exemptions with a tree, but once you touch them they will move like snakes and chase you until you die or reach you, which always happens.
And this family unfortunately ended up in a city that was plagued by these, every street in the city was covered by these beings, which were strategically positioned to be trodden by mistake in the busiest areas, such as streets, buildings and others.
Their resources were exhausted and if they did not leave, they would probably die of starvation, but the streets, buildings and corners were infested by these creatures, which only moved to make sure to close any escape route every so often.
That would have been his end.
Until Dipper appeared.
He had found them inside the only building that was not plagued by these creatures and there he found the Hanzon, at first the family was extremely doubtful if he represented a danger or not to them, but as their appearance in every year bagando as A walker did not change at all since he was 13, he did not take long to gain their trust when they asked him how he came, he told them that, although the streets and buildings were invaded by the Tindalos, that was just the surface, it seems that the sewers were completely free to be circulated.
The family in question had never thought about that, as a rule the sewers should always be avoided because they were always the nest of any monstrously varied amount of bugs which would kill you in a rather agonizing way.
Dipper told them that, even among the filthiest of creatures, the tindalus were that special kind of being so bad and unpleasant that they were even avoided by another of their ilk, who frightened away all the others even those who dwelt in the sewer, leaving this as a perfect escape route to get out of the city.
But unfortunately the thing was not going to be easy at all, by the time the Hanzons finished taking all they needed to leave the city with Dipper, one of the tindalos, moved one of its extensions into the only culvert nearby to that building , and it could be years before he moved his member.
So Dipper resorted to the only solution that remained: he sacrificed himself.
Needless to say, the Hanzons did not like the idea in the least, but there was no other option, Dipper was not going to let them die and they could not convince him otherwise.
The tindalos do not gather in groups, they get entangled in groups, they join a massive knot and patiently wait for someone to touch them and if they attack in a group.
He told them that he would call the attention of the tyrants and thus keep him away as much as possible, told them to run and not look back.
And so, using a chancla, a blowtorch and dynamite, he approached the knot of the tindalos and called his attention, causing them to temporarily move away from the sewer, giving way to the Hanzon to enter, but Dipper was completely mercy of those creatures.
The Hansons could only cuddle and soothe their children's crying as they listened to Dipper's bone snapping, their skin torn off, the screams of monstrous and incredibly ghastly pain, all together in a cacophony worthy of the nightmares of someone extremely bad in the head and soul, and hard what was a whole day. for it is what I take them out of the sewer, and no matter where they went, they always heard Dipper suffer in an inhuman way.
After a while the dogs of tindalos left him in peace, he decided to call them that because they chewed him (among other extremely horrible things at the same time unpronounceable) and then they left when there was only a reddish paste of tattered skin and bone powder.
It was by far one of the most traumatic deaths he suffered, but nothing that the servants of chaos had not done to him before.
Once he regenero, he went to look for the Hansons, it took a few days but I manage to reach it and it goes without saying that when they saw him naked, but alive, they were extremely surprised, only not in a good way since they received him with a shot in the face by the father, and unfortunately for Dipper with bullets expansion, so he had a tremendous migraine during the days it took all the shrapnel to get out of his skull.
Too bad that would be repeated for a month until Dipper convinced them to listen to him and that he was not a threat to anyone, and he did it just before the parents of the family made the decision to commit suicide before letting that demon immortal you would lay your hands on them.
After a while Dipper told them all his story, from his arrival in Gravity Falls so many years ago to the pact he made with Bill to protect his loved ones.
Obvious that to the family it took like a whole year to be able to even have a bit of confidence in him.
But for Dipper it was worth it, the Hansons were like a breath of fresh air, the reason he followed them so much was because they reminded him of his old home, especially the son who reminded him so much of him. his sister, the relationship they had with each other brought a lot of nostalgia for the identical thing that was identical.
Too identical, so much that it not only made him feel nostalgic, but also made him see how subtly harmful and toxic his relationship with Mabel was.
Just to summarize, she was a very co-dependent person who did not know when to get into someone else's life, and he was her facilitator since her earliest childhood, they made him believe that that was fine, although now that she thinks about it the situation was the other way around, in the eyes of others it would be something badly seen.
It was incredible that she had not realized until now how selfish her sister was, but again, that was part of the typical double standard of what society once was.
As soon as he won the Hanson's trust, he corrected that terrible thing that was the relationship of those brothers.
Time passed and they became his second family, eventually they were gathering slowly but surely more and more survivors, for whom he cared and protected.
The mother was one of the few sweet and noble beings left on earth: she always cared about their surroundings, and gave them immense affection, for Dipper it was like having a second mother
The father was someone honest, responsible, hardworking and respectable, and his children ... well children after all, and as such you grabbed them love if you knew how to treat them.
One of the most important things that came to mind was a particular conversation with the Mother of the family. they were eating a deformed turkey, which although it was ugly to watch, Dipper tried it and confirmed by not dying that he could eat, the father had left and the children were playing in his room, suddenly the mother approached Dipper and told him something he would never forget.
with a soft and melodious voice, and a look illuminated by a great affection and warm said: "you are a hero for everything you do for us and for everyone else, thanks for everything you decide to suffer for us, still being a hero Manson Pine, never give up "then he gave her a kiss on the cheeks and went to do his things.
Mason "Dipper" Pine was so confused and surprised and moved by his words, that due to the fact that this gesture was so sudden, he did not see it coming and did not do anything particularly heroic at that time to believe he deserved it, but in turn those words and actions were so charged with affection, love, affection, warmth and affection, that they filled him with such a great determination that there was no measure that could be used to see where he could end up. he felt that the universe could throw at anything and not make a dent in him, that he was able to split worlds in two with his hands, that he was capable of killing the creator god of the universe with blows.
But even so her act was very sudden, so I keep a close eye on her if she doubts, nobody told her for two reasons, the first was that she did not want to cause unnecessary scandal, and the second was that her husband was very jealous and very easy trigger, and although Dipper could survive a shot, he does not want the trust he has with the man to be damaged or lost, after watching the mother of the family, and not having evidence of a demonic possession or something similar, decided to leave things alone. The only thing that I noticed was that those days, Mary was much more happy than usual, but she was also very sad and melancholic, as if she had received an extremely good news as well as a very sad one.
Something he realized later on is that NEVER had never said his real name to anyone.
Dipper saw that he had come back at night, he was lost for hours in his memory, something he was already used to doing.
Under the building and heading towards the Hanson house in the camp, he heard that the father had found some Waffles.
The second good news in a long time, the first was that the birthday of the little children was today.
To be continue.
