Dippers Pack

Out of danger...I think

Dippers P.O.V.~

         I sat there like a sitting duck at this point. Trembling in my sisters arms like a coward wasn't usually my way to go but, then again, I've never had a gun aimed at me.
        I was on the verge of tears when my Grunkle dropped the weapon. I could see horror fill up inside him now realizing it was me.
      "What are you?" Stan asked confused yet terrified.
       "Werewolf." I answered back have no clue as to what else to say. Mabel still held me like a mother wolf would to her pups.
       "I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you! I-I-"
         "It's okay". I stated still trembling in Mabel's arms.  "Are you okay?! When did this happen?!" He exlaimed as he pulled me and Mable into a hug. I smiled and hugged back and answered; "I've been like this for as long as I can remember. but... no one else knows about it....and I plan to keep it that way." I stated simply.
        "You best hide this from Ford of all people. He'll probably experiment on you." Stan said in a joking tone drawing a laugh from me and Mabel.
        "Yeah, I know.... But before you ask, you are not making me into an attraction at the shack." I grumbled almost toneless. "COME ON!!! This could bri g so much attention to the shack!"
          "I literally just said that I wanted to keep this a secret!" I yelled at his selfish forgetfulness.
    
Soon, we headed back home as the sun started to hide behind the trees, all the while, Grunkle Stan bombarded us with hundreds of questions regarding our past whereabouts. Long story short, Stan's probably gonna  take out the window in me and Mabel's room. Or never let me look at the moon ever again. Oh well. All was quite, but not an awkward silence. A peaceful one. But it was cut short once Mabel cleared her throat, breaking the silence. She looked over at me with a face spread with concerned.
      "Hey, dip?" She said almost sounding sad. "Yeah?"
     "D-do you know if you being a werewolf can hurt you in any way?" She stated looking me dead in the eye as Stan entered the conversation.
        "What do you mean pumpkin?"
"Well..like, what I mean is, can being a werewolf affect your.. health? Your lifespan, or something? I ran like in dog years, you much older than what you are now.... Wont that affect you at all, in any way?" Mabel said, looking as if she's going to cry. I only looked at her, stumped.
      'I never thought of that... What if something does happen?' I  thought while all eyes landed on me.
       "I-I don't know. I don't know if it'll do something to me. I never thought of that..." I stated, trailing my sentence.
        All went quite again. But it wasn't peaceful anymore. I could cut the sorrowful tension with a knife.
        'What if something does happen to me? Will dog age hurt me? Will the dog diet hurt me? Can this affect me? ....can this kill me....?' My thoughts ran wild as more horrifying thoughts entered my head.
        After what felt like hours, we finally made it to the Mystery Shack as night fell. I had a sick feeling in my stomach from past events and it didn't seem to want to go anywhere. I decided to skip dinner the night and head to bed. Mabel's question from earlier made me lose my appetite. After almost an hour, Stan and Mabel entered the room, Stan holding a long pile with curtain cloth. Mabel was on her normal purple nightgown as she helped Stan set up the new curtain. Now only a lantern lit up the room as the long grey cloth was drapped leaving the moon was now out of sight.
        Soon Stan left the attic as Mabel cuddled her stuffed animals with waddles being in the mix. I layer in my bed for what felt like hours, but I had a strange feeling in my stomach. Something I could only describe as an eerie emptiness. Like I was missing something important, but I didn't know what it was. I had the journal, I have everything I need, but I couldn't put this aside.
         Maybe some sleep will help...
