!!Finished!! Dipper has always been protective of Mabel. Its how siblings are, looking out for each other. However, recently Dipper has started acting way more protective, overprotective over her. Its starts to effect Mabel who is once again trying...
"Rise and shine brats. You don't get food by laying in bed all day" shouted Mr. Hewden. Mabel got up. All the other kids looked at her. "Is she new" whispered one kid. "She must have fallen for his tricks" said another. Mabel said nothing. Breakfast was nothing but a dried toast, and a cold omelette. "I'm sure your thinking were not going to feed you well here huh Mabel" said Mr. Hewden. "Well your wrong. That kind of stuff only happens on TV shows and fanfics of those TV shows ;). Were just running out of food here. Now hurry up and finish, same goes for the rest of you and then report upstairs. Also Mabel, the kids here call me Hew for short, I recommend you do too, saves time". He then went upstairs. It may not have tasted good, but food was food.
Everyone had a huge iron ball tied to a chain wrapped on their legs (like in the movies). No one could escape and no one could fight back. They then were led by Hew outside to the forest. Mabel got a good look at the hut. It was old, in shambles, it made the Mystery Shack look like a 5-star hotel or that 7 star one in Dubai that Dipper had told her about. The work was hard. They started by cutting down trees, then moving rocks. It was hard and no breaks. It made Stan pushing her and Dipper to work the late night shifts seem like a trip to the beach or the pool. Food was no better then it was at breakfast. Thankfully by Dinner, Hew had lightened up. He turned on an old record player. The songs were from the 70's but were still cool. The next day was similar. Wake up, eat, work, eat, work, sleep repeat with the occasional music from the record player to keep their spirits up. Mabel began to think Hew was not as bad as she had thought.
That was until one kid accidentally spilled a glass of water. Hew went ballistic to the point he almost slapped him over the face. The kids around Mabel barely reacted, like they were used to it, but it would have been an understatement to say she was not scared. Non of the other children talked to each other or to her. No one stayed awake at night. They all lived in fear. Soon Mabel found out why. A shed, just a bit away from the hut. She caught a glimpse of it but it was enough to make her quiver. Several weapons, from baseball bats to full on rifles. Who knew what might happen if they disobeyed.
Mabel missed home. She missed Stan and his weird old man smell, she missed Ford who probably was back by now from his trip, she missed Candy and Grenda and Waddles and everyone else she knew too, she missed the comfort of the sounds of the creaking floor boards in the attic, but most importantly, she missed Dipper and how he was always being worried about every little thing she did. His overprotectiveness was the reason she had not gotten herself in this situation till now, and when she told Dipper to back off, it happened. Mabel felt awful. She could not even begin to comprehend how Dipper might be feeling. She then came up with a plan.
That night after everyone else had gone to sleep, she crept into Hew's room. She carefully grabbed a pen and paper from his desk and ran back to the living room. There she began to write a note. It read....
Dear: Dipper
I know the chances of you reading this are slim, this letter may fall into someone else's hands for all I know. But if by some miracle of nature, you do get your hands on this, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not listening to you and for yelling at you. Its my fault I'm in the mess I am in now, not yours. Don't worry about me, ill be fine one way or another. Be safe, be the best you can, be better then me.
Sincerely: Your sister, Mabel Pines
Mabel folded the letter and walked to the window. She let go of the letter and it flew off, under the mercy of the wind now. The letter flew high into the sky, floating past birds, getting caught in branches and almost being eaten by a bird too. The letter flew high enough that the lights of Gravity Falls could be seen. They were far away, but they glowed like the north star, guiding it home. Then the wind died down and the letter floated down back to earth. It landed into a small stream. The current moved fast, and away from Gravity Falls. Soon the water had erased all the ink and the letter itself broke apart. A small cry for help, lost to the all mighty force of mother nature. But little did Mabel know, she was fast asleep, dreaming about seeing everyone again.
It had been 4 days now.
But soon, things would change.
