AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey, guys, I've been really busy and I got free time so I decided to write Chapter 4. Soo... Here it is! (A million years later) I will try to write my new Chapters more frequently. And by "Frequently" I mean on Fridays. :D Well, hope you like it! (Also, I agree, not my best Chapter so far. Don't hate! Appreciate! C:) DipperPinesGravityFalls, OUT! XD
Danny held the left side of his head. He looked around and shrugged slowly. "I-I don't know." He said woozily.
I walked towards the middle of the area.I cupped my hands around my mouth and yelled; "HEY! IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?!"
I yelled louder than I meant and some crows flew out of the trees, but other than that there were no other forms of life. I sighed and started to turn towards Danny when something dropped in front of me.
I bent over and picked it up realizing what it was. "My… Hat..."
I held it with my thumb and index finger. It was torn to pieces. "Well, there goes my hat."
It was covered in slobber and mucus and even some blood from my cheek. I sighed and threw it behind me. I heard a sickening plop behind me and faced Danny, almost bursting out in laughter.
The wet, abstract object landed on Danny's head. "Oh, gross..." He mumbled as he went intangible and the slimy thing fell to the ground with a Thwack!
I fell to the ground in a fit of wild and loud laughter. My laughter ended abruptly as I thought to myself, "If it fell from up there, then what dropped it….?"
I trailed my fingers to where the hat landed and went up. I gasped and stumbled to my feet in surprise and horror. The Tall Man from before was staring at us from three feet away. I gulped and found the courage to yell at him,"What do you want?!" I tried to look brave but my knees were starting to buckle. I clenched my fists and told myself to stop being a baby.
The Tall Man stared at us silently and blankly. I squinted at him and realization swept over me.
I inched towards Danny who was ready to strike ectoplasm blasts at him. I waved for him to be unarmed and I whispered to him, "It's not Großmann."
He looked at me confused and shrugged. "Okay." He whispered back. I walked up to him slowly and cautiously.
"E-excuse, me. A-are you the proclaimed 'Slenderman'?" I asked bravely, but I my voice was shaky. He nodded and walked up to me. I tried to back away slowly but my knees buckled and I fell to the ground.
The tall dark figure leaned down in front of me and extended a finger to my forehead. I tried to scoot away, but my back hit a rock. He pressed his finger against my forehead and I felt a stinging pain in my side and grabbed it with my right hand.
"Ugh..!" I tightened my grip to stop the pain, which didn't work… At all.
"Rrrgghh…" I hunched over on my knees in pain. I felt my eyes get hot and I opened them.
I saw red all around me, then white, then everything came into focus and I saw the woods next to the Mystery Shack on fire. I saw two tall figures battling it out; tentacles swaying back and forth clashing at one another. Mabel came into my field of vision with her grappling hook and a serious expression on her face; which was unusual for Mabel, even if you didn't know her like I did. She was dodging blows and black blasts from creatures that were fuzzy to me. Danny came into view with green aura around his eyes blasting green ectoplasm blasts towards something out of my peripheral vision, but I couldn't turn to see. Then everything went black.
I awoke at the shack in my bed in the attic with a splitting headache on the left side of my head. I sat up and looked at my surroundings frantically. Nothing had changed.
I grabbed my head and stood up. My eyes went wide and I collapsed to the floor.
My side was still burning. I lifted up my shirt far enough to see my side. My face was wrinkled with disgust.
There was a three degree burn with more words written on it. It said, "NO EYES." I let go and the shirt fell back to my side.
I stood back up and ran down the stairs as fast as a person with a limp could. I got to the fifth step and tripped, stumbling down the rest of the way.
I hopped up and ignored the pain. My face blubbered as I shook the pain away. I looked around and started to walk into the living room and stopped at the doorway.
"Hey, is anyone here?" I asked the empty room, listening for a sound.
There was nothing.
I walked further into the living room scanning the area. I heard a rustling sound in the kitchen. I ran into the room and saw Mabel.
"Mabel, why didn't you answer me? I asked if anyone was here. You couldn't have answered me?" I sighed with annoyance and relief that I wasn't the only one there.
She shrugged and said, "Couldn't hear you." She continued with what she was doing.
I walked up next to her and she smiled goofily. "Sorry." She apologized and poked my shoulder.
I frowned and rubbed the area she poked. "Well, have you seen Danny around anywhere?" I asked. She stopped and hesitated. "Um... I think he's…. Upstairs." She said reluctantly.
I furrowed my eyebrows and crossed my arms. "What is it?" I asked suspiciously.
She thought about something for a second then shook her head. "I-it's fine. Really." She smiled sweetly before turning out of the dining room quickly.
I sighed and walked up the stairs and turned into the last room on the right. I walked in and saw a boy with black hair and blue eyes.
"You're not Danny."
I stopped at the door and clutched my side. He looked up with alarm and stood up quickly. "I-I can explain." He stammered.
I grabbed a bat by the door and pointed it at him with my one good arm. "Who are you?" I stated before giving him a chance to say anything else.
He extended both hands reassuringly. "There's no need for that." He said quickly. I didn't acknowledge his words and continued to hold the bat.
"I'll ask again; who are you?" I moved the bat threateningly at him. He walked towards me and frowned.
"I'm Danny, Dipper. Put the bat down." He said calmly. He lowered his hands on the bat and forced it down. I let it drop to the floor.
I was still eyeing him suspiciously.
He sighed and backed up. He mumbled something and two lights formed a circle around him. The lights separated into two circles and went opposite ways; one went up and one went down. He changed into the boy with white hair before, but with a hole on his side where there was a third degree burn on him, like mine.
"D-Danny? What..?" I said slowly as my jaw dropped and I fell to the ground.
Everything went fuzzy and I passed out.
That's it for Chapter 4. Once again, it's not my best, but don't hate it. I've been sidetracked lately and I haven't been able to write at all lately. Hope you guys liked it and don't forget to Review, Favorite, and/or Follow! XD
