Hello friends! Welcome back to Part of My Mind! In this installment, we return to the woods and check up on Dipper.
Enjoy!
The first thing Dipper became aware of was the sensation of rain hitting saturated clothes. The next thing was the pain.
For one thing, his head hurt, probably from what he'd now determined as being knocked out. Then there was his ankle, which hurt to even slightly move. It was definitely sprained. Dipper slowly pushed himself into a sitting position, groaning as the headache flared. That was when he realized his vest was missing. The vest that had his phone in it. The phone his parents had just got him for the start of 8th grade.
Uh oh.
Dipper, despite the pain, forced himself to his feet. He tried to take a step, but his injured right leg immediately buckled and he fell back to his knees, involuntarily crying out. He gingerly pulled his hurt ankle out to examine, wiping away the water dripping into his eyes. Dipper sighed; looked like wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, and certainly not until this rain stopped.
Well, at least Mabel's safe, Dipper thought, absentmindedly checking for her presence. But his thoughts were abruptly put to an end, as something felt off. Normally when he checked Mabel's place in his mind, he felt comforted, content, positive. But this wasn't normal. He was overcome with a sudden wave of worry, almost as if it weren't his own.
Mabel.
Dipper tried to reach her further, but they weren't telepathic. He could only tell she was upset. It hit him.
It's me. She's worried about me.
At that revelation, Dipper pushed himself to his feet again, better preparing himself for the pain so he didn't fall. He had to get to her. He had to get back home.
All other thoughts in his mind ceased, and he only could think of one thing now.
Mabel.
Dun dun dun! We now have two overprotective twins on the search! How will this turn out? I honestly don't know as I'm writing this off the top of my head! So we'll both find out! Anyway, join me next time!
