Not just Alcor...

Piercing attitudes

Chapter 2
It was around midnight, a hot night. The window was open, carrying a gentle breeze, which slowly rocked the curtain. Mabel was struggling to sleep. Hearing her dad act like that spooked her. It almost reminded her of how Grunckle ford had acted after finding out about dipper and bills predicament and the heartbreak it carried. Dipper had only slept for half an hour, being merged with bill meant he didn't really need to sleep, he would have liked to but to his annoyance bill took control and had started rummaging through the items and draws around the room. 
Mabel sat up in bed glaring daggers at her twin "do you need something?" she asked tiredly.
"Hmm yes actually" bill responded turning to face Mabel "i need something to do draw on, you wouldn't happen to have any A3 paper would you?"
"To do the spell?"
"Ye" bill answered, "it be a bad idea to draw it straight on the bedroom floor" 
"Good point" Mabel said bluntly "do it in the bathroom" she yawned, "It will wipe off."
"No. someone might walk in plus the bathroom walls are too thin your perants will easily here the loud yelling of Latin" bill explained "but to you have to do the spell tonight?" Mabel groaned.
"No but it has to be done at some time this week, otherwise your brother will die"
"Then do it tomorrow or in the woods..." Mabel mumbled turning over to sleep.
"Shooting star, what woods?" Mabel glared "tomorrow" 
"fiiiinnne!" bill whined childishly, heading to dippers bed.
In the morning, Mabel sat lazily at the breakfast table. Trying to rub the sleep out her eyes, the twins parents were sitting opposite of her eating breakfast, she looked up as the front door open followed by the sounds of footsteps. She glanced behind her and saw her blond brother walk in. He seemed tired and dishevelled as if he had gotten into fight. "Where were you?" his mother asked him softly, "outside".
"This early in the morning?" his farther questioned, "yeah and now I gotta get dressed." dipper wondered upstairs. After a couple of minutes there was the sound of running footsteps and a sudden, large thump coming from the bottom of staircase.
"Bill..." dipper groaned quietly at the foot of the stairs.
"You alright dipping sauce?" said Mabel as she left the table to help him up.
"Yea i'm alright," he grumbled, rubbing the back of his neck.
"What's with bill's obsession with stairs?" Mabel questioned amused. 'I have to throw myself down new staircase'  "No fuckin clue" dipper answered walking away.
Dipper entered the kitchen and was met with dad an inch in front of him "why are you in uniform?" he asked crossing his arms. "I'm going to school?" dipper tried to walk past him, but his father grabbed hold of his arm, preventing him from moving "no you're not, me and you mum talked about it last night and we believe that you shouldn't go. I mean you are legally registered as dead".
His mum quickly chimed in "and because the school wouldn't allow you in with you hair, the contacts..."she drifted of as she noticed, "since when did you have piercings?" dippers hand instinctively covered them.
"Ummm that's why I was out this morning..."dipper mumbled.
"And you didn't ask permission from us?" Mr Pines was getting frustrated, his voice rising "with whose money!?" his voice echoed around the room.
"Some money a gathered over the summer" dipper said glancing to the side. Mr Pines leaned closer "gathered from what?"
"Why do you need to know?" bill scoffed. "Young man! Just who do you think you are?"
"King of the world!" bill boasted toying with the man. "That's enough!" his father commanded "go to your room!" he yelled. Bill glared at him, but to stop Dipper from getting annoyed he headed to the shared room.
They heard a door slam which caused Mabel to flinch, Mr Pines turned to the others in the room. "King of the world?" he questioned under his breath.
"He's got a confidence boost..." Mrs Pines stated tying to add a positive.
"Mabel darling, shouldn't you get ready for school" she said and turned her attention to the dishes.
Mabel nodded and silently made her way up to her room.
As she entered the room, she saw a very upset brother, laying on his bed with his arm over his face.
"So bro bro what is with the piercings?" asking as she got everything into her backpack.
"I played chess with pine tree last night"
"And? You do that every night," she sounded intrigued
"This time we made a wager over who would win." Dipper groaned as he sat up.
"Well that was a stupid" she commented as she zipped up her bag "how long did it take you?"
"About 20 seconds not Pinetree's best game" bill said with glee, "anyway bro bro I gotta go go!" she smiled at her cleaver word play "come pick me up okay!" dipper nodded, she headed out the door. "Have a good day" he called to her as he laid back down on his bed as Mabel shut the door behind her, and went down the stairs. Her parents were sitting down once more.
As soon as she approached them, they both stopped talking and stared at her worriedly. "You want to tell us anything about what happened over the summer?"
"Nope late for school!" she quickly dashed to the front door "love you both!" she almost screamed slamming the door.
Mrs Pines chuckled at this "it's good to see her happy again"
"Mhm that's nice Hun" her husband replied not paying any attention while dialling a number on his phone.
"Who you calling?" he looked up at her, "your uncle." He replied blankly.
"why?"
"Because of Dipper" he paused. "I just need some information that all..." he trailed of grumbling.
Mabel walked down the familiar streets of her hometown, unaware of the two people stalking her. She had been hoping dipper was going to come with her, but no, 'maybe next term he will' she thought to herself as she arrived at school. 
She walked inside, noticing a rather large crowd around her locker "excuse me "she said as she pushed through the group "oh my god she speaks"
'Oh that's right I was mute last year' Mabel rolled her eyes and open her locker to grab her books, she closed the lid gently, but that gesture was pointless as someone slammed his body into her locker. She fell backwards onto her knees, she could feel bruises forming. "What's your problem you!" she yelled at the two boys fighting.
"Don't talk to me!" one said, the other one then tackled him.
Mabel escaped from that Situation, heading straight to her form room, were there were two girls who looked awfully familiar to her. She sat down and waited to catch her breath, until she felt another presence next to her.
"Oh my god it you!"
