Kidnapped (Monster Falls Book 1)

One Will Fall

~~Dipper~~
The new arrival to the room charged forwards and seized Keahi by the throat.
"Time for payback!" The harsh Canadian accent hissed maliciously.

Ford threw me backwards.
"Dipper hide!" He whispered.
I nodded and scarpered off in search of a good hiding place. Ford was suddenly tapered causing him to become drowsy.

The scientist, Professor Luntzberg, stood mere inches from my face.
"This is only a minor setback..."
I had run and hid inside a closet full of beakers and flasks, the Professor was stood right next to me.
I was scared as hell.
"April, find the boy." Luntzberg growled into the air.
The girl who was holding Keahi in the air by her neck suddenly turned round, dropping Keahi to the ground.
"Certainly."
I saw through the crack in the door, Bill rushed forwards to see to his wife and Ford was gagged, surrounded by men with tazers.
I held my breath. It was silent.
Then I chanced a glance upwards.
"Sorry Pinetree, but the game's up."
April stood with the doors flung open, her wild eyes staring at me. They were black with two, glowing yellow slit-like pupils at the centre.
I was dragged out into the lab. I desperately tried to buck my way to freedom, alas, it came to no avail.
"Let him go."
Bill rose to his feet.
Everyone stopped, motionless, as the dream demon spoke.
"And give me a reason why I should do that Cipher?" April dared, dangling me by my arm.
"Because I made this mess! I'm the reason you became this way April! I betrayed Keahi and everyone else here."
I was confused.
"But Bill I don't get it..." I started.
Cipher walked over to the teenage girl and leant down to my level. I felt him unexpectedly strike my face.
"Stay outta this Pinetree!"
Keahi's eyes were wide with tears.
"Bill...please...think about what you're doing!"
"I have..."
Luntzberg darted forwards, a sharpened, black crystalline object in his hands. He stabbed it into Bill's chest.
A deafening roar tore through the lab. Glass shattered. Walls cracked.
Bill Cipher pulled the object from inside him.
He collapsed.
"BILL!" Keahi's loud cry ricocheted through the room. She reached her arm outwards as everyone watched in shock. The men who stood around her gave her a hefty kick in the face.
A dark, blue liquid seeped across the floor.
The demon's dying body gradually began to break down into small particles of yellow light. He condensed into a small, yellow triangular crystal.
Luntzberg slammed a mallet down onto crystal. It smashed.
"NO!" His wife screamed.
I could hardly believe my eyes.
The being that had relentlessly tortured me and family all summer was gone.
He had died, trying to save me.
And now I couldn't even say thank you.
