Time Flop

Chapter 8

A/N: I have no regrets on the previous chapter. None. Have fun, chillins! Also, I apologize for such a long wait; I was extremely bust/lazy.

Present Day, Reverse Falls

Mabel wasn't kidding when she called it a crypt. Inside, past the door, were four coffins made of stone. It looked like there once may have been an inscription on each, but time had since made each inscription fade. Dipper moved around the room, which was more of a walk-in-closet. Three coffins lined the floor, one was embedded into the ceiling.

Dipper looked back at Mabel. She was smiling, but tears once more filled her eyes.

"No matter how many times I come down here; I always cry." She said, wiping a tear away. Dipper turned back to the stone coffins.

"Mabel," he asked. "Who's buried here?" Her expression darkened, but a faint smile remained.

"Dipper, I'm going to tell the story of the Oakes twins..."

Twenty minutes later

Dipper sat quietly as Mabel finished. She rose from her seat next to him. His Mabel might have rested her head on his shoulder while she cried, but this Mabel seemed to trust him less and less as the story went on.

Mabel Oakes turned to the coffins. "We should have never started that mission..." She began. Her voice started cracking as she spoke. She shoulder began to shudder. "Then maybe... maybe he..."

She completely lost it.

She crumpled to the floor, and her jewel began to glow furiously. Three loose stones were lifted, a light blue aura surrounding them. They circled Mabel at high speeds, Dipper didn't dare go near. The rocks moved so fast now, that the air whipped around them. Dipper could hardly hear himself think, and he feared that soon enough, one of them would break the sound barrier; shattering many things around them...including almost all of Dipper's bones...

"Mabel!..." He called. "Mabel, you have to stop this!" She didn't. "Mabel, I can help you! Just stop this!" Her form grew a small aura, like the rocks. She began to float. Her body rotated towards him. Her eyes were glowing, and an angry expression invaded her face; tears still fell continuously from her eyes.

Dipper had to take the chance...

He ran straight through the rock-tornado.
