11. The "Golden Hour"

( Twinsies! )

Lilly's POV

I heard the high pitched scream and quickly pulled out my sword, ready for anything that came at me.
"What was that?" Laurence asked. We heard it again. I couldn't tell what direction it was coming from.

All of us were looking around.
When the scream came a third time I knew who it was... But how... Why is she here?

"No...." I whispered.

I started running in the direction it was coming from.

"Wait! Lillian!" Garroth and Michael chimed in unison. I didn't stop. Soon enough I couldn't see them behind me and I could hear the cries get louder.
And louder.. And louder....

I peek behi d a tree and see her. She looks up surprised. Right next to her was another girl. Whom I also knew... Oh boy.

"Mabel? Pacifica?? What are you guys doing he--" I was interrupted by Pacifica. "Look out!" she screams pointing behind me. I turn around and see a GIGANTIC Blue lion creature. My insticts told me to swing... And I did.

I slashed it on the face and it fell to the side.

I backed up, ready for a fight. I looked at the two girls. "That way!" I say pointing in the direction I came from. I looked back at the creature as it slowly can toward me.

I look at them again as to they were still standing there. "RUN!" I yell. They start running.
The creature pounced on top of me. It's paws on my arms and the claws digging into my skin. It reminded me of the way Lizzie treated me back in elementary.

My life flashed before my eyes as it's face came closer. I saw the sword at my feet. I pushed it into the animals back left pad and it went backward in pain.

I leapt toward my sword grabbing it swiftly. "Back... OFF!" I yell slicing a deep cut in the creatures right upper leg.
He backed up and ran off into the forest whimpering.

It was silent except for my heavy breathing. I then came back to reality.
My arms were slightly bleeding out. Not as much as expected, though if I hadn't of gotten him off of me it would have been worse.

I ignored the stinging and put the sword away. I rip two pieces of cloth from my sleeve.
I wrap it around my arms where the wound was.

I didn't need a pitty party when I got back...

Then I saw a deer right in front of me. I jumped not expecting it.
It wasn't startled though. All of a sudden... The wind blows and I notice the Sun was setting.

I looked back at the deer and saw it was now a shimmering gold color. It was almost like it was translucent.

It was a female deer. I gasped at the new color of the deer.
"Whoa..." I said. Then I realized that... I forgot what direction to go in.

"Oh shoot!" I whispered. The deer just gazed at me a moment. Then it started going into the opposite direction of me.

I didn't know what to do until it looked back at me and stopped. That was until I started moving toward it.

I followed her till I saw another deer. It was a male. It seemed to be staring at something too...

No... Someone.

I got closer still following the deer and we were really close to the other.
The female nuzzled into the male and the male did the same. That's when I turned to see Dip.

I look back at the deer until they fade away along with the sunset.
I was still in awe staring at the same place.
"Lilly? You saw that too?" he questioned. I just nodded.

"Dipper?" I say.
"Hm...."
"We tell know one." I respond. He nods slowly and shows me back to camp.
They made a camp I guess.
When we arrived everyone was excited to see me.

Even pacifica! Yeah! I know! Big shocker there...

Any way....

I didn't feel in the mood though. I quickly said the whole, "I'm fine!" and "I'm okay!"
I don't know... It just...
Gets a little old after a while I guess.

Apparently Laurence brought stuff to make a tent so he set it up and I was left alone inside.

I looked around and saw a flash light. I pick it up and start clicking it on and off.
It kinda helped.... I just needed to clear my head...
Just some peace and qui--

"What'cha doing with the flash light?" someone asked interupting my train of thought.
"No." I say.
( told ya I was in a bad mood. )

"Okay... Somethings wrong. What's wrong?" he said.

I look up to see Michael.
"I just can't think straight or comprehend any of this!" I say.
"I know what you mean... I know it all too well."
He responds.

"Welcome to the club." I say throwing the flashlight and putting my head in my hands.

"Things... Do get better. I know they do." I say. "But when? It seems like whenever one thing pops up and were almost done with it, another problem comes! Its a never ending cycle." I explain. He puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Think it's time to tell me the story?" he asks.
I sighed looking up at him.

"I guess it is."
I reply. I start from my foster parents and Lizzie. And end right up to this day. I leave out the deer and a few other things.

"Whoa. All that. And you still are into it a few years later? That's insane..." he says.

"And I don't know What to do anymore.... My head hurts, everyone's tired, Bill is out there taunting me, and I feel like everyone is relying on me all of a sudden!!" I start yelling.

He looks at me wide eyed.
"Sorry.... I lost it there..." I say embarrassed.
"You know what... You have your time to think and not break stuff... And get a good sleep, than tomorrow hopefully you'll be a bit more relaxed." he says.

I sighed and agreed. He leaves the tent and I was left to organize everything in my head.
