(Autumn's P.O.V.)
It was almost like he wasn't here. Ever.
Dipper had been missing for 3 days. The time flew quickly, like the wind. But not just regular, small, winds. Forceful winds. We searched day and night for him, through the town, woods. It was like Dipper had never existed. My mind thought of nothing other than him, but I wasn't going to let those thoughts get to me.
Without Mabel, I ran outside, into the woods to be honest. I didn't want to be seen, or talked to, because I knew he was around somewhere. I knew Dipper. But that person wasn't Dipper. It was Bill.
And he was the one that knew everything. He could have hidden Dipper anywhere right now. Anywhere, but I probably knew about it. I walked through all of the bushes, and plants, but as I got deeper into the forest, each plant started dying.
I wasn't going to give up now, so I kept on going. I started to run, because it seemed everywhere I stood, the plants died under me. I didn't want to think I was some god or anything, I just felt like everything in the world right now, disliked me.
As I ran, all of the trees behind me started to shrivel, and break into pieces. I watched as they fell to the floor, but the forest was starting to become more clear. I could see more now, and not the dead berry plants lying on the ground.
Then I see someone, a child. Sitting on the ground, crying. I wanted to ask what was wrong. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing managed. Their back was facing me, but I couldn't tell who it was, at first. He didn't move, and you know how I knew it was a boy? The hair. The brown, soft hair, and his little blue hat.
Dipper.
I raced over to him and lift him up. "Dipper?! Please wake up, I'm so sorry! I really am!" Tear streamed down my face and down onto him, just like the closet incident. I haven't seen him in 3 whole days. Here he was, lying on the ground, probably dead. Dipper, you've gotta wake up…
He shifted around, and I held his head up with my arms. "Dipper, please.." I sobbed, trying to wipe away my tears. It wasn't possible, they wouldn't go away. Dipper moved around some more, and then his eye fluttered open. "Dip-"
He tried to speak, but nothing was audible. He couldn't talk or move. I tried to lift him off the ground but it wasn't working. I then gently put him onto my bag, where his arms hung free, and his head rested on my shoulder.
"Come on Dipper," I told him, running through the forest. I stepped on all of the dead branches, trying not to trip on anything. He tried to speak, but whatever words he could make out, I couldn't. I looked behind me, looking at all of the dead trees, but behind them was the open sky, filled with clouds. I tried not to look from them and ran faster, but they seemed to get closer by the second. Before I knew it, it started to rain, and Dipper was already soaked.
"Autumn?" Dipper was barely audible. He tried to speak another sentence, but the thunder above us blocked it out. The forest was dark, but was lit every few seconds from the lightning. Once we made it to the shack, I walked in and fell to the ground. Dipper was still on my back, almost unconscious. He tried to get up, but I got up before him and placed him onto the couch.
"Dipper, I'm so sorry, what happened back there?" I didn't expect him to answer, he didn't seem alive. Tears shed down my cheek, and Mabel came in, the same expression. She ran over and squeezed Dipper as hard as she could.
"Mabel! Please be careful, he was," I tried to speak. "He was in the woods.."
Mabel looked up at me, very confused. "No, he couldn't of, how can he survive 3 days without, anything?! Dipper, please!"
I thought that there were no near by hospitals around, so I wouldn't know. I was hoping at the same time that he would wake up soon.
I walked into the kitchen and saw Grunkle Stan walked in. Didn't he just see Dipper? I thought he would have walking right past him. I looked over to him, confused.
"Did you not see Dipper?" I asked him, getting up to go check on him.
Grunkle Stan nodded his head. Good, so he knew about it. I walked into the living room and saw Dipper sleeping. This time he looked peaceful, like he was actually sleeping. I was so tempted to wake him up and see if he was alright, or check if he remembered anything. I sat down on the couch, and gave him a little shake.
"Dipper? Hey Dipstick? It's Autumn!" I said. I could already feel tears filling my eyes. "Come on Dipper," I started to walk out of the room, when I saw him open his eyes and he looked around confused.
He sat up straight, "Autumn?"
I couldn't resist myself. I ran over and hugged him as tight as I could. "I'm so sorry.." The tears streamed down my face. "I..I-" I stopped myself.
Not yet Autumn.
Not yet.
