The wrath of Catherine

Chapter 5: Suspicious Behavior

'Thanks to Pacifica, Catherine's cover could be blown and Dipper walking in on the confrontation could confirm that!'

Previously

Not being able to listen to the blonde's insults any longer and with her anger now at its peak, Catherine sprints from behind the counter and pounces onto Pacifica. Roughly pinning the blonde's shoulders to the floor, both girls are now face to face with Catherine's angry emerald glare sending a shockwave of fear through Pacifica.

"You spoiled little brat!" Catherine dangerously hisses, now wrapping her right hand tightly around the blonde's neck. "How dare you speak to me that way? If I wanted to, I could end you right now and no one will hear you scream!"

Having grabbed the leftover turkey bacon that was sitting on the table, Dipper is sprinting to the shop so not to give Stan another reason to bark at him. Now running in, the boy immediately halts at the sight in front of him with his eyes widening in shock.

"Mabel, what are you doing?!" Dipper shouts.

Currently

With Catherine having the blonde girl pinned to the floor and with Pacifica seeing a side to the pines girl she never knew existed, Dipper just walked in on one terrifying, yet puzzling situation!

Mabel, what are you doing?!" Dipper shouts to the sweater girl. "Why are you attacking Pacifica?"

Continuing to glare at her victim, Catherine isn't bothering to acknowledge Dipper as her focus is on teaching this rude girl a lesson!

"I don't know who you think you are, but you need to be taught a lesson in manners!" Catherine hisses as she tightens her grip on Pacifica's throat. "And I'm just the one to teach it to you!"

"Please…please… don't hurt me." Pacifica chokes out in a whimper. "I'm sorry that I ever insulted you and your family. Just please let me go….please and I promise…I won't….come..back."

"Mabel, get off of her now!" Dipper continues shouting to her. "You heard her! She said she was sorry! Let her go!"

"You don't know what sorry is, but you're about to find out!" Catherine growls as she lowers her eyelids to emphasize her point.

Unable to continue witnessing the scene in front of him, Dipper now rushes over to the two girls and begins trying to pull Catherine off Pacifica.

"Mabel, get off of her!" Dipper commands, fully pulling Catherine off of Pacifica. "I know that Pacifica isn't best person in town, but she didn't deserve to have your hand around her throat! What possessed you to do that? Better question: What possessed you to attack her?"

"She needs to be taught a lesson in manners!" Catherine hisses, her angry gaze still fixed on the blonde.

With Catherine off Pacifica, the blonde girl scrambles to her feet and turns to the twins with the look of horror on her face. Throughout his time of knowing Pacifica, this is the first time that Dipper has ever seen her scared of anything, let alone his twin sister. Seeing her this way, Dipper is actually feeling sorry for Pacifica!

"Pacifica, I'm sorry about this." Dipper apologizes. "While I don't have the entire story behind what happened, I want to apologize any way, for the both of us."

"Dipper, I'm….I'm…re.." Pacifica stammers, unable to form a proper sentence with the look of terror still evidence in her eyes. "I'm…I have to go.."

Turning from the two, Pacifica bolts out the door. With the girl out of sight, Catherine's eyes now change back to brown with her temper getting back under control.
