30.Follow the Leader pt.2

( Nothing to say except... Check out some rossome wattpad friends of mine! Like... Mabel pines smile! She IS pretty rossome so check her out and give her some love! )

I wake up with my head throbbing. I groan in pain. I look around and see I was chanined to a chair in a dark room. I tried getting out but I couldn't.
"My my! Look what we have got here sister! It's miss Lillian Kate-Rose." I hear a voice. It sounded like Dipper?! But he doesn't know my last name. Well my real last name.
"L-let me go!" I shout. "Show yourself!" I say.
Then out comes a bit who looks like Dipper and a girl that looked like Mabel. Dipper told me about them. At first I thought he was exaggerating but...
"You..." I murmer. He smirks.
I struggle. "What do you
Want with me?" I asked.
"Well I have what you have been searching for... And you have something I have been looking for." he exclaims. I raise an eyebrow and his sister Snickers.

"And what exactly is it you want that I have?" I questioned. He comes closer and whispers in my ear, "Your Permission..." I looked at him confused. "For what?" I asked. He chuckles. "For whatever I say." I kick him back and he just chuckles more.
"DONT TOUCH ME!" I yell.
I tried to use my powers to get out but they weren't working. The only thing that was working was invisibility. What was happening? "YOU WILL PAY! LET ME OUT OF HERE YOU--"

"Be careful with your words! You wouldn't want lover boy to get hurt now would you?" he says. Then up pops a screen with dipper talking to Mabel in the forest. My anger grew. "LEAVE THEM ALONE!" I yelled. He pushes a button that sends pain through my body and I scream aloud. He holds it for a minute then stops. "Tsk tsk... I thought you of all people would be more in control of themself. Maybe I was wrong... Or maybe there is something that is just driving you almost to the point of insanity... O wonder..." he says. I was out of breath from all the pain.
"So How about we straighten up and be a little more... Suttle. Hm?" he says. I looked at him with an angry look. "So.. What do you say? Your memories For your permission? Choose wisely..." he says. He walks off and I tried getting out.

Dippers POV

I lied my head on the table feeling confused. I have messed up too many times... Then that guy from earlier bursts in and starts looking around.
"What are you doing?" I asked. "Have you seen Lilly? She was supposed to meet with me like 30 minutes ago? She didn't show?" he says. The concern in his expression was worrisome.
"No... She left is here like an hour and a half ago." Mabel says.
"Somethings wrong..." He says. I stand up.
"She isn't anywhere in town and Laurence said she saw Her at least 45 minutes ago. " He says.
"Well then what are we waiting for?! Lets go find her!"  I say. He nods and we meet up with another guy named Laurence. Ugh...
We each set off in a different direction in the forest. Although me and Mabel stayed together.
We walked around and the more we walked the darker it got.
I played with the ring I got her.
"Dipstick?" Mabel says. "Hm?" I say. She sighs. "You know... These past two months have been pretty weird an all..." she starts.
"Your point?" I say. "But they have been pretty awesome at the same time. I just want you to know that whatever happens next... That you should just... Please stay the same dip that I have always known. Don't change because of Lilly being gone nor if she was here." Mabel says. I smirk and put the ring in my pocket. I hugged her tight. "Never Mabel... Never." I say. She smiles and lets go. "Good..." she says and we kept searching.

Lilly's POV

I had stopped trying to escape. It was useless. I needed to make a choice. For Dipper and Mabel and everyone else... Anything.
"FINE! I choose..." I took a deep breath. "I give you my permission for my memories and everyone's safety..." I sighed. I felt the pain through my body once more.
"STOP!" I snap. It then stops and he walks back out again. "So sorry about that... My sister just... Likes to push people's buttons!" he says looking back. Then he looks at me and smirks. "I'm glad you agree... Now come... I would like to show you What exactly I want your permission for." he says. The chain's unlock and slip off.
"Your trusting me? I could just turn invisible and leave right now." I say. He chuckles. "But you won't. You would stop yourself. You would walk right back to me and agree with me." he says.
"And why would I do that?" I asked. This guy and his stupid smirk! "Same season you agreed to do this in the first place. Now come... We have work to discuss." He says. I hate it when he is right! Infact, I hate him in general!

We walk into a room and in the center is a table with a small black bag the size of a mail almost. "Your memories lie in that bag." he says. I look at him and then at the bag. I reach for it and pick it up. "How..." I say.
"After you help me then I will give you help in return." He says. "Since when have you been suttle?" I asked Him. "I have always been suttle. Just with certain ordeals. That's all." He replies. I roll my eyes and we walk not a different room that had tons of potions and books...
It was like a labratory almost.
"What I need you to do is simple." he says. "Lilly... Meet Lilly." he says. I see a girl with long red hair-- me... I see me.
Only in blue with a glowing blue stop watch necklace. She smirks mischeiviously. "Be careful you ARE a sneaky one." He whispers in my ear.
I rolled my eyes. She looked me up and down. "Just tell me what I need to do so I can leave." I say to
Him. He sighs. "Impatient are we? Fine. Here let Lilly show you." He says. She starts walking in the direction of the giant screen along with "dipper".

"As you can see this screen shows all of Gravity falls and your lover boy and Mabel..." He begins. I rolled my eyes at 'lover boy'. "Yea... It's gigantic. Your point?" I say. "Fiesty... I'm starting to grow on me...." Reverse Lilly says.
I groan. "Well, it is all connected to a hard drive. This hard drive is very important. We are relying on you to care for it till the day you leave the state of oregon." he says. I raise an eyebrow. "Why me? Why not care for it yourselves?" I asked. Lilly pulls out the hard drive and hands it to me. "Because there are people and things in Gravity falls that want this hard drive and the first place they would look is in this dimension. No one suspect's us to rely on someone like... You."
He says. "Wow. Thanks." I say rolling my eyes. I look at the hard drive. "What do I do with it before I leave?" I ask. "You dispose of it. Just... Don't just do something like throw it in the trash. Burn it. Destroy it." she says. I nod.
I put it in my pocket and look at the bag. "Are you ready to go back?" He asks. I nod. "Follow me." He says. We go into the same dark room and he yells me to sit down in the chair a moment.

"Now... If we send you back awake and such... There might be suspicions. So I apologize greatly. Sort of. So... Just be prepared for what is about to happen." he says. I raise an eyebrow. "Remember we are watching everything you do. So we have the power to make things messy. If needed. Tell no one and keep it until you leave." he says. I nod and 5 seconds later pain shoots through my body again to the point where I blacked out again.

The next thing I knew... I was in the middle of the forest with Dipper carrying me...
