Gravity has Fallen (book 2 of AFTER GRAVITy)

Chapter 2 "I'm not the threat"

I went to the park, thinking Pacifica and Mable would be there, sure I was a little late but.

no one was there. It was almost creepy. Maybe they'll come back when they realize I'm not home? Sure.

I laid on a bench facing the sky.

I closed my eyes. They can wake me when that get here.

~Dream~

I sat on a balcony, over looking waves crashing into soft sand. Such a peaceful scene. But, I was shaking. I didn't know why. I tried to move, run, something. but I was chained to the floor. Laughter broke the silence.

Strange

"What do you want?!" I screamed "every time I fall asleep it's YOU! It's always you!"

Tad appeared in front of me.

"what was that first question dear? I couldn't make it out." He used his sword like a cane, leaning on it. But, it was unsheathed. I gulped before I spoke, scared of what that sword could do.

"What. do. you. want?" i yelled

Strange laughed and started walk in a circle around me.

"oh Dipper, you're worried about me? What I'm gonna do?" He laughed again

"for now, I'm the least of your worries darling. I don't have any reason to hurt a hair on that little head.

I rolled my eyes.

Strange stood behind me and brought the sword to my neck.

"not yet that is"

I laughed "you can't hurt me! we're in the dreamscape!"

Strange came in front of me once again, now floating above me

"wrong again darling!"

he threw his sword. It just scraped me cheek enough to make a cut.

"It wont be there when I wake up!" I screamed "I know it wont, you monster!" This guy is really getting on my nerves...I can't stand him!!!

"you call me a monster?" He floated to me until our noses almost touched "you made out with a monster worse then me boy!"

I growled "to me it seems like your just as bad as him! Crazy, always plays victim, and an asshole!"

Strange's eyes lit, as if a flame had sparked in them

"now listen here boy..."

Storm clouds flew over head. Lighting and thunder clapped from all sides, wave hit the each like a hurricane.

"I am NOTHING like HIM!!!"

My chains came undone as he pushed me to the floor

"stop! Y-you crazy demon!" I yelled

Strange stood over me, making a slice across my chest with his sword.

"I will never be like him! YOU HEAR ME PINES? NEVER!!!"

Tears rolled down my face as I screamed in pain.

The world around me crumbled glowing white

a muffled voice stirred my brain

Dipper?

Dipper!

come on Dipper

My eyes shot open, it was night. Mable stood above me with Pacifica at her side

"thank god, your up!" Mable yelled

"lets hurry home, its gonna storm any minute!" Pacifica moaned

Mable began to walk with her "come on dork!"

I began to stand but fell to me knees, the girls turned back to me

"Bro-Bro, you ok?" Mable came running over, I looked down to my chest, red stainded my shirt, i looked back up at the girls, my vission growing blurry.

They called my name but it was blurred. I felt like i was drowning again with no way out

i blacked out

I woke up to a pitch lack room. A letter sat on the night stand

"ugh...what the?"

i picked it up and looked over it

Dear Dipper

hey, it's been a day sense you've been out, we decided to go get more help else where, and to Lazy Susan's Dinner, hey people gotta eat bro-bro. We'll bring you back pancakes in case you woke up and read this though! I know you love some good pancakes.

I really wanna know how you got hurt though, like, what happened? Was it Bill? Did you do it to yourself? Was it one of my ex friends??? I'm so worried! And Ford has been freaking out! Stan seems pretty chill though. He stole pain killers for you!

I rolled my eyes, of course he did.

Anyway, we all hope you wake up soon. And if Bill this he will face,

drum roll please!!!

I actaully did a drum roll on my lap, knowing Mable would be so happy knowing I did. Heh, and I'm the dork?

HE SHALL GET MY GRABBLING HOOK

I laughed, remembering that she still had that thing. God, that thing is like waddles.

Never

ever

EVER

leaves.

I went to reach for my hat beside me to remember i left it with Bill fucking Cipher. I rolled my eyes and slowley got up outa bed and wnt downstairs. Humming 'we'll meet again' by vera linn

Then i remebered Bill sang that song

he ruins everything.

I walked down the steps and turned into the kitchen, reaching up into the cabnient to grab pain meds, and flew open the fridge grabbing a lemonade. I have had a small liking to yellow things ever sense.

I shook my head and took the damn pill, along with my anxiety, and deppression.

I started to develop deppression shortly after-

"Get out of my head!"

i screamed throwing my fists on the countor.

I began to shake as i headed up to me and Mable's room.

When i came in moon light sprinkled in through the window, casting a spot light on my hat. My Pine tree cap.

I picked it up and looked around the room. I left this will Bill! So that means....

I felt arms wrap around from behind me picking me up, and tossing me to my bed.

"Pine tree!" Bill floated slightly above around

"What Cipher?!" i screamed " I told you-"

Bill put a finger on my mouth

"You don't understand! I'm not the only demon in Gravity Falls anymore! There's more. Somthings coming Pine tree and it has somthing to do with Mable!"

I pushed his hand away

"Mable?" i asked begining to worry.

"I'm no threat to you or anyone else Dipper, you have to trust me."

Bill looked on the verge of tears "just let me protect you sweetheart." He held one of my hands with both of his, holding it to his chest

"Please, let me help. This could kill you i-"

I hugged Bill

"No funny buissness"

I could hear Bill crying has he held me close

"I promise Sweetheart."

I let go and looked him in the eyes.

"what do you know?"
