Chapter 12

The sun rose after a long night in Gravity Falls. Bill woke up with tear marks on his face from crying the night before, no one ever asked him what it was like being a demon, or even want to ask him a question in general!

"Ugh..." He got out of bed and walked got into the shower. He thought out loud, "Today will not be a good day for her." He mumbled to himself as he shampooed and conditioned.

Mabel was in her room dragging herself out of bed too, not wanting to get up and face Gideon today. She also got into the shower and noticed that she wanted to cry every minute that she was in her room. While she shampooed and conditioned she thought out loud some escape plans.

"Ok, so I could probably distract the guards, get passed them by Gideon calling to them, then I'm home free! But if he has everyone wrapped around his little finger then how could I make it two feet outside of town hall!? Wait what about Dipper? Or Stan, Wendy, and Soos! Ugh! Why did this happen to me!" She got out of the shower and headed to her closet.

Bill was looking through his closet thinking about what to wear. The only things in there was twelve of the same exact suit, four top hats, five eyepatches, twelve bow-ties and four pairs of dress shoes.

Mabel looked in her closet and saw she only had one sweater now, her shooting star sweater. Along with that she now had multiple classy dresses, tons of heels, and more jewelry then any girl could ever want. She got dressed and headed towards the door, but she remembered the door was locked.

Bill closed the door to his room behind him and then walked towards Mabel's room to let her out.

He unlocked the door and knocked.

"Mabel are you ready?" He asked. The door swung open and she was standing there all ready with her shooting star sweater on.

"No I'm not." She replied sadly.

Bill wanted to say something that would cheer her up a little bit, but he couldn't think of anything that would help her.

The two walked down the beautiful decorated marble hall to the throne room where Gideon was waiting.

"It took you long enough!" He yelled with his southern accent. Mabel starred at the ground not wanting to look at Gideon.

"Alright short stack," Bill asked him. "What are we doing today?"

"Why Mabel has someone coming to see her!" Gideon replied. A single tear fell down Mabel's face. "But instead I have some business to do," Mabel looked up almost with happiness that Wendy would not come. Gideon saw this. "don't worry your 'help' will still come. I was thinking maybe you should see some people."

"What people?" She asked. Gideon signaled Bill. Bill grabbed her by her hands and put handcuffs on them. It hurt him to do this.

"Sorry." Bill whispered to Mabel.

"Follow me." Gideon told him. Bill walked with Mabel and followed him. Gideon took them to a moldy stair case and went down. Mabel stopped in her tracks once she saw what was at the bottom of the stair case. Rows of cells and in the very back the only thing visible were what looked like people, but what she saw that mainly caught her eye was a pine tree hat.

"Why did you bring me down here?" She asked him. A person stood up in the far cell when they heard a noise. They had what looked like a fez on.

"Why I thought you might want to see them." Gideon smirked evilly.

The people in the cell moved and Mabel could hear whispers from them.

"Why did he bring-"

"Don't let her see-"

"Stay clear of-"

"Please don't-"

Gideon walked down the hall towards the cell.

"Hello Pines family." He said chuckling.

"Your not going to touch her!" Dipper yelled at him.

"I was here to let you see someone, but with that attitude you may not." He glanced at Mabel and Bill signaling them to come. An idea came to Gideon.

"Dipper with that attitude-"

"Don't talk to him!" Soos yelled interrupting Gideon.

"Ah, seems as if you guys are asking for it!" He taunted.

"As if we would! We are trying to defend ourselves!" Mabel and Bill finally made it to the cell. When Stan, Dipper, and Soos saw Mabel they instantly jumped up.

"Mabel!" They all screamed in unison.

"Let her go!" Dipper yelled.

"Hmm... I said I would be back tomorrow yesterday, so what if I got it done early today?" Gideon told them. They had a pure horror look on their faces. Mabel didn't know what he meant but it couldn't be good.

"Should I take her back to her room for this?" Bill asked wanting to get Mabel away from what was going to happen.

"No, let her stay. It would be good and put her in her place." Gideon replied. Mabel had no idea what was going to happen. "Get them out. Let's teach them to shut up again!"

Mabel remembered what Gideon tossed her in her room. The bloody whip. Mabel began to freak out. If he was going to show her this she would be devastated and that was his plan. Two guards came and pulled Dipper, Soos, and Stan out of the cell.

"No! Not again!" Stan screamed.

"Gideon! If your going to do this fine! I will fight until I know that everyone is safe! Don't let her see this!" Dipper yelled.

"No! Dipper! Stan! Soos!" Mabel screamed trying to get out of Bill's grasp and the handcuffs.

"Dude don't do this!" Soos yelled.

"Mabel look away." Bill whispered to her. She just looked at him, "Look away." Mabel started crying when Dipper, Stan, and Soos got cuffed to the cell.

A guard gave Gideon a new whip.

"Gideon don't!" Mabel screamed. Bill pulled her back to help her not become one of the people cuffed to the cell.

"I got her." Bill told Gideon so he wouldn't think about it. "Look away Mabel. You don't want to see this." Bill whispered again. Mabel now was sobbing, and struggling to get out of Bill's hold.

Gideon held the whip above his head about to come down on Dipper.

Dipper waited for the pain. He flinched... But nothing came. Soos and Stan looked up with Dipper wondering what happened... There was a blue aura around the whip that stopped it from coming down.
