The Light (Book 4 of the Lost Brother)

Chapter 3: Cross my Heart and Hope To Die

Ford POV

"What do we do?" Mayvis ask me, tears flowing down her face. "Mom is gone and everyone is dead. There is blood." Then Mayvis started to take short breaths. She was having a panic attack. I grab her shoulder, "Mayvis! Calm down and breathe!" I took deep breaths with her and I had her sit down.

"Alright I know things are bad right now, very bad but don't worry! Everything will be alright..." I lied.

"How can you be sure!" Mayvis cried out. "Mom and Dad are gone! We can't do anything!" Then Mavis started to cry. "Mayvis snap out of it!" I beg her.

"Mommy and Daddy are gone?" LanLee cried. Then she started to cry. "LanLee! Don't worry! Mommy and Daddy are going back. Don't worry." I tried to convert her but that wasn't helping. Dipper and I were the only ones that weren't crying. Well I was the one that was crying at all. Dipper had tears falling down his cheeks but wasn't balling like his sisters.

"Alright! Calm down! Stop crying! Please!" I beg. "Oh please help me." I beg to the sky.

Then I sigh, "Alright, please stop crying. I can't help you if you are crying. If you are crying then we can't help Mom and Dad." Mayvis and LanLee stop crying but were sniffling. "Alright thank you." I started, "Now I know this is crazy and scared but we knew about this. We know that there is a war between light and dark. It's been going on for 12 years now and we knew that someday darkness will seem to be winning but luckily there is hope."

"What kind of hope?" Mayvis ask.

"Us!"

"What?" all my siblings gasp.

"That is right. Right now, the people you are most likely behind this wall of rock are dead or imprison when they go to the other side or they are just going to run away. No! We can't just run away. Pine Tree has our mom and dad and the rest of everyone. We can't let darkness win! Then had their fun for 12 years and I say light shall come out!" I cheered.

My siblings just look at me. Dipper threw his fist up and then release that nobody was doing it he quickly put it down.

"Ford that must be the craziest thing I have ever heard!" Mayvis snap. The judger, always have and always will.

"But it is worth a shot! You know the stories that mom told us about how Great Grunkle Ford would go on adventures and how she went through adventures also! We can start now!"

"But you aren't Great Grunkle Ford! You are just named after him, you aren't really him." Mayvis pop my bubble.

I groan.

"Mayvis what if Ford can be Great Grunkle Ford?" LanLee ask, "We can do something, can't we Ford?"

"Of course! This could be like a game!"

"What kind of game is this? Cat and mice?" Mayvis hiss. "Ford I know you want to save mom and dad but how can we? We are just kids. The oldest is 10, two of us are 6, and the last one is 4! We are just a group of kids!"

"That is it! They don't expect a group of kids to do something! They won't expect a group of kids to go in and take down the place."

"Stanford! We aren't going to save the whole thing!" Mayvis snaps.

I roll my eyes.

"Mayvis let Ford finish!" Dipper asks.

"Thank you Dipper. Now as I was saying before...with the help of Mom and Dad and Great Grandpa we can take down the whole place and light can rule again!" I continue.

Dipper stood up and threw his fist in the air, "I like it!"

"We can't!" Mayvis protested.

"I think we can." LanLee reply softly.
