Tales of the falls
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
...
Dipper Pines would like to say that it was the concept of a woman being tortured before a mocking crowd that first got his attention...but who was he kidding? It was the fact it was an older girl naked- What? he's a pre-teen boy going on to be a teenager! Don't judge him!
But the concept of a woman being tortured before a mocking crowd was DEFINITELY the second thing he noticed...he took out the journal he found in the woods a day or so ago and found a spell to see if she was really okay, the moment he cast the diagnostic spell-
"HELP ME! HELP ME! I'M IN AGONY! PLEASE, HELP ME!"
The screams coming from this girls mind were so great...Dipper's ears started to bleed! Dipper was seriously considering chopping off his ears before the spell ceased...
"Uh, Bro-Bro? You okay?" Asked his sister Mable concerned. Dipper lied, told her he was fine and quickly made an excuse to go to the restroom...Dipper washed off the blood and thought about what just happened...something horrible was happening to that poor girl..and he needed to find out what!
He immediately dismissed telling Stan or Mable anything..they never believed him about anything...not quite believing what he was doing...Dipper bravely snuck around the carnival grounds...until he got near the ringmasters trailer...
"Chop, chop everyone! This town ain't going to hypnotize itself!" Shouted the ringmaster. Dipper's eyes widened as the performers turned out to be ghosts disguised as carnies...and apparently were under a hypnotic trance!
Dipper quickly read through the journal for anything regarding hypnosis...finally, he found a spell to give one immunity from hypnosis for 24 hours, Dipper quickly cast it on himself...but it was exhausting to cast it...he'd only have enough strength in him to cast it one more time...
Shaking off his fatigue, he saw that the ringmaster and his goons had left for the big top...Dipper quickly ran into he ringmasters office...he found they key to Wendy's cage...while he was their he decided to take the ringmasters money, several of his more exotic tomes of the supernatural...and a weird looking triangular ruby...he didn't know why...but he felt like it was important...
He snuck back to the big top just in time to see Freakshow release Wendy from her trance and gloat over what was about to happen...
Dipper barely held himself together as Freakshow laughed at Wendy's pain...finally he left...and that was Dipper's que to enter...
Dipper introduced himself and promised to get her out, he brought out the key and went toward the door-
Wendy just shook her head, "No, listen to me! Just run! It may not look it, but I'm still very much under his control! Even if you open the door, I'd be unable to leave! His hypno-command forbids it!"
Dipper sighed and pulled out his journal. "I have a spell here that will make you immune to hypnosis for 24 hours...but it'll leave me to exhausted to do anything...never mind carry you out of here" He admitted conflicted...
Wendy's eyes widened...for the first time in over a year...she felt hope...
"Okay, don't worry about that...just get rid of his hold on me...and I should be able to get us out of here..."
Dipper looked unsure...but knowing it was only a matter of time before the Ringmaster returned...he knew he had little choice...he took a deep breath, and unlocked the cage...then cast the spell...he then fell to his hands and knees exhausted...
Wendy quickly hobbled out of the cage and grabbed Dipper...and together...they went invisible...and flew!
"Wha- what's...are you an angle?" Asked a weary Dipper exhausted. Despite the situation...Wendy couldn't help but chuckle. "Yes Dipper, I'm an angle. All us angel's are buck-naked." Teased Wendy sarcastically.
Oh, yes. Wendy had not been idle during her imprisonment...every spare minute she had...she used to get a handle on her 'ghost half'...yes, through and through...she was a freaking Corduroy!
Now Wendy knew that this was the part of the story where she took revenge on her captors and saved her dads livelihood...but that wasn't going to happen...She was on her last leg, she was carrying a tuckered out kid, ghost freak had a gang of hoodlums on his side, oh and let's not forget that she was NAKED.
No...their was no happy ending here...the best she could do...was break even...she floated out of the fairground...until she finally collapsed safely and far enough away that no one could find them...and while Freakshow burned/pillaged the entire town enraged over the loss of his 'prize'...Wendy cuddled up with her equally unconscious savior...and had her first good night sleep in over a year...
