Waking Back to Reality

Save Me

Dipper POV (5 years later)
I'm 21 now. Me and Mabel ended up moving to Gravity Falls because we believe that we're better off here. I eventually regained my memory of everything that happened in Weirdmageddon, and I hate Bill with all of my heart. He took away my childhood. He took away my relationship with my family.

I don't worry about Bill however. I know he won't come back because he's dead. With Great Uncle Ford's brilliant super weapon, he's surely gone.

I only think about Bill sometimes. I think about him when I see Mabel holding Waddles and crying, and seeing Grunkle Stan and Great Uncle Ford's old age.

I'm laying in my bed reading my all time favorite journal number 3. Great Uncle Ford lets me read number 1 and 2, but I don't see as many mysteries as number 3.

"Dipper! Come down here! Grunkle Stan wants you!" I heard Mabel call. I groaned as I got up and walked down stairs with no source of excitement. Grunkle Stan eyed me weirdly.

"Sheesh kid I just need you to go catch a monster and for the tourist trap. You know, the creepy kind, like something giant and can potentially eat you."

"Dipper wait! I need you to catch it for my research! It's better than some fake trap." Great Uncle Ford stated as he walked up the stairs from the lab.

"Back off Ford. This is for some serious business." Grunkle Stan snapped. Great Uncle Ford glared at him. He sighed.

"Just go Dipper. See what you can find." Great Uncle Ford said quickly.

I walked out the back door and started walking to the depths of the forest, looking through my journal and wondering what to find.

"Hmm..Gremlobin, Multi-Bear, Gnomes, Hide Behind....I've encountered all of these creatures, there's no point." I mumbled to myself.

I flipped through and through until I found something great.

A giant millipede. Perfect.

I read through the details.

Sharp teeth, shoots venom, crawls up to 25 mph. Found in large tunnels near huge trees south of the forest. DANGER: IF IT SMELLS FEAR, IT CAN SEND ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES THAT SHOCK HUMANS IN RANGE.

Better be careful of that.

I headed south, making sure my steps were quiet. Who knew how long these tunnels were. I walked for what it seemed like hours until I started to find huge trees. The leaves were really faded, which seemed odd, for it was the middle of spring.

I looked down. All of the leaves on the ground were faded. But there were no tunnels anywhere.

I paced around the area, keeping my track on time. It was 4:00 now. It gets dark around 7, so I better hurry.

I took a few steps forward, but fell through a huge section of faded leaves on the ground, I slid down a giant hole in the ground, skinning my elbow really bad on the way down. I must be in a tunnel.

I decided not to care about my safety and got up and walked through. It was a huge maze. It reminded me of the underground bunker. I heard a screech, with a small wave of fear running through me.

Dipper. You are not scared . Man up.

I slowed down walking. I followed the screech.

I walked into a much larger tunnel . I felt a liquid drop on my shoulder and start to burn. I panicked and jump, taking off my blue vest and looking at my shoulder. I immediately looked through the journal.

Caution: venom is radioactive.

Nice one Dipper.

I kept walking, and heard what sounded like a scream. Now I was worried. I got to the end of the tunnel, but nothing was there. I swear I heard the screams over here.

Something whipped me. It completely threw me against the wall. I felt that I was about to pass out.

No, I can't do this. Get up! Run!

I saw the beast, which was about 7 feet taller than me, not to mention it being 50 feet longer than me. It was a dark greenish with dark purple evil eyes and razor sharp teeth. I tried to take off, but the beast was too large to get around. It just stood in my way. I'm screwed.

Think Dipper think.

I had an idea. It was crazy, but it had to work.

I used my strong arms and chucked my backpack over the long beast and heard it land. The millipede was distracted by it. It cut a sharp left and started digging into the walls to see what it is.

Just enough time for me to escape.

I ran through the tunnel, finding my backpack again. I lost the beast. I heard it screech in a distance, so I ran faster. I found the exit.

I just had to climb 20 feet.

I had to use the strong roots of the ground to get me up. I climbed and climbed, desperately hoping that the roots wouldn't break.

The one I was holding at my right hand broke. I was dangling off the side of the ground, hanging for my life. Now I was scared.

I wasn't scared because I was about to fall 14 feet, I was scared because the giant millipede heard me. I can hear it's sharp claws coming. I attempted climbing, which successfully worked, until I saw the monster beneath me. I was climbing toward me.

I then felt pressure and sharp pain as the beast used all of its force on me to throw me out of its tunnel. I easily flew 10 feet in the air and fell hard on the ground, landing on my back. I could hardly move. I was scared.

The monster didn't want me to move. It wanted me dead.

The monster came out of its tunnel, but the remaining sunlight burned its skin. It still charged at me. But it stopped.

It then started to scream. I thought I was ok. And then I was being electrically shocked because of its smell of fear.

I was too smothered in pain to realize that it was running at me.

"Just let it finish its job" I thought.

I started to close my eyes ready for the pain. I couldn't move, and I was covered in blood.

I opened my eyes lightly again to see a man around my age scare the beast away. The man was wearing a yellow and black suit, and it didn't look bad on him like most yellow and black suits look. It looked as if he was pushing the monster back. I swear it looked like the beast was being controlled, like it couldn't move its body at all.

I heard footsteps approach me. I couldn't see. My eyes were almost swollen shut and my vision was too blurry to make out anything. My eyes were flickering. I heard a worried and concerned voice.

"P- Pine tree? You're alive?"

I passed out after that.
