"Ahhhhhhh!" You heard Pacifica screaming. You started to cough violently of the smoke, "P-Pacifica! Cough! Cough!" You couldn't see anything and you couldn't breathe. Whatever just happened just started to burn the place as if it was the dry season. You tried to get up but your leg shot out in pain. Screaming in pain, you fell back to the floor, coughing violently. "Help! Someone please help! Cough! Cough! Cough! Pacifica! Gideon! Cough! Cough! Cough! Dipper! Cough! Anyone!"

All you could hear is the flames, the building cracking, and glass shattering.

"You leave her alone!" You heard Gideon shouting through the flames.

"G-Gideon!" You called out.

Then you force yourself back up. Your leg screamed at you, begging for you to stop. You must have twisted it wrong or even broke it, but you didn't care. You started to limp towards the sound of Gideon's voice.

You manage to find them...but you froze in your spot. They were at the middle of the stair way room. During the explosion, Pacifica and Gideon must have fallen off the railing. Dipper somehow got there too.

Dipper held Pacifica and had a knife to her throat. Dipper was still being controlled as you could see it in his eyes how blank they were. Pacifica was sobbing, "G-Gideon! Please help me!"

"Yes boy, help the girl!" You heard Ford's voice growled.

You looked up and you could see Ford. He was still up in the stairs, looking down at them. He was pissed.

"The house is on fire! We have to get out of here!" Gideon shouted before coughing violently.

"I DON'T CARE!" Ford screamed, "I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"

Then Ford gave a dark and twisted look, "You will burn like the rest of us! You will all burn!" Then he started to laugh insanely before coughing violently.

"Dipper snap out of it! Fight it! Dipper please!" You begged.

There was no response. He only held the sobbing Pacifica with a knife.

"Now give me the journal or I'll have his slit her throat!" Ford snapped.

"Gideon give it to him!" Pacifica sobbed.

Gideon seemed really hesitant about it. "Gideon! Cough! Cough! Cough! Please!" Pacifica begged.

"Okay! J-Just...let her go." Gideon replied before coughing.

Ford gave a smirk, "Of course."

Gideon then pulled out the journal from his coat. "Here, you psychopath!" Then Gideon toss the journal towards Dipper. "Dipper! Catch it!" Ford snapped.

Dipper release Pacifica and caught the book. Pacifica made her escape and ran to Gideon. Ford chuckled darkly, "Finally! Dipper! Give it to me!"

Dipper toss the journal up to Ford up above.

"Let's-cough! Cough! Go!" Gideon chocked.

Gideon helped Pacifica to make their escape but it was cut short by Ford screaming, "WHAT!? THIS ISN'T JOURNAL 3! THIS IS JOURNAL 1! YOU STOLE MY JOURNAL! DIPPER! KILL THEM!"

Then Dipper threw the knife at Gideon and Pacifica. You made sure that it wasn't going to hurt your friends. What seemed like a super human effort to move so quickly, you jumped in front of them and you caught the knife and threw it back at Ford, hitting him in the shoulder. Ford screamed out in pain. You gave a slight smile that Mr. Buckley, your knife throwing teacher from your old school, taught you well.
