I'll Wait For You

Your Turn

-Dipper-

I am sitting on the counter when Mabel runs through the door.

"Mabel? What's wrong?" I ask when I see tears plastered on her face. When I hop off the counter she runs up to me and wraps her arms around my waist.

"Dipper I'm so so so sorry. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. Its him." She says in between sobs. I wrap my arms around her shoulders.

"Sh. Its okay Mabel." I say stroking her hair.

"Its not." She says as she looks up at me. "He is going to bring Bill back."

"No he won't." I say, I run upstairs with Mabel right behind me.

"How?" She asks. I barge into our room and head to my side. My hands search my bag until I find my journal. J pull it out and search for something.

"This." I said shoving the journal towards Mabel. She reads it out loud as I grab things putting them in a duffel bag.

"The Pierre de mémoire?" She asked confused.

"It's French for Memory Stone." I say stuffing Mabel's grappling hook in the bag.

"It can put memories in someone's head?" She asks. I nod. "How's that going to help us?"

"Well... That won't." I walk up to her and take the book. Mabel hovers by me as I read. "If light hits it at a 48° angel it can cause someone to lose their memories up to 15 years."

"So your going to give him the mind set of a 3 year old?" She asks.

"Its the best we got." I say. I zip up the bag and grab Mabel's wrist. We head downstairs and bump into Wendy.

"Hey guys." She says with a smile. Her eyes travel to the bag and back up to my eyes. Her smile fades. "What are you doing?"

"We are looking for something." Mabel says. My grip lossens around Mabels wrist.

"Can I come?" She asks with a smile. I hold her shoulder.

"Its dangerous." I say.

"So? Remember the bunker? Weirdmegadion? I can handle it." She says.

"I can't live with myself if you get hurt." I say.

"I can handle myself." She says. She walks to door and I watch. I bit my lip.

Damn.

"Ew. Dipper. Let's go!" Mabel says. Wendy looks back and laughs. I grab Wendy's hand and we head out.

-------

We walk deep into the forest. Eventually we see a small cave.

"Ready?" I ask.

"Ready." They said together. I opened the bag and we each grab a flashlight. I brought like 5, because right before something bad happens they break or something.

We walked in. It was all black. We turned the lights on to see different crystals. Orange, red, blue, and purple.

"Wow." I mutter.

"Its beautiful." Wendy mutters back. We walk deeper when all the sudden I hear a evil laugh.

"Who's there?!" I yell. I hear nothing in response but another laugh. I reached into the bag and pulled out a baseball bat.

"Really Pine tree?" I hear. The voice sends a shiver down my spine.

Theo.

"Go away!" I yell.

"See... I knew you'd come. I'm not stupid." He says.

"Come out!" I yell. I hear footsteps and saw him walk out. His lips forming a wicked smile. He was dressed in a yellow shirt and black jeans. "What do you want?"

"You." He states. He runs to me and I swing the bat. He ducks and runs into my stomach.

I let out a loud grunt and he straddles me. He punches me in the face and chest. The pain is the worst thing I've felt in awhile.

Eventually he gets up ad I try to catch my breath. He hovers over me with a wicked grin. I see my chance and kick him in his crotch. He kneels down down holding himself in pain.

I get up and kick him in the face. He goes limp, but his chest is still moving. When I look at Wendy and Mabel horror on they're faces.

"Are you okay?" Mabel asks. I smile weakly. Wendy runs to me and smacks her lips into mine. Her lips move with mine. She pulls away.

"Told you it was dangerous." I say. She smiles and kisses both my cheeks as pain shoots through my skin.

"There all better." She says. I kiss the top of her head and we walk farther into the cave. Soon we reach the back.

"Where is it!" I yell. After hours of searching we walk back. "He must have it."

"Theo?" Mabel asks.

"Yeah. I mean he said he knew we were coming." I say. Wendy touches my neck.

"Dipper?" She says. Voice full of concern.

"What?" I ask. I touch where she was. I felt a bump on my neck.

It felt like someone put a needle on my neck.

"Theo." I state.

"He wanted this to happen that's why he let me walk away." Mabel states.

Just as Mabel finished that sentence a light blue beam shot into the sky causing gray clouds to form. I ran to the statue with Wendy and Mabel behind me.

It took us only a few minutes to get there. We saw Theo standing there. The statue started to turn into yellow. I heard an evil laugh sending chills through me as I recognize it from four years ago.

"Bill." I muttered. Soon his yellow triangle form floated up at me.

"Pinetree." He says.

"Father." Theo says. Bill looks at him and snaps his finger. Theo turned to ash before us. Mabel gasped, Wendy walked behind me and held my hand tightly. Mabel scooted closer to me and held my arm.

I tried to stay tough.

But honestly.

I was scared out of my mind.
