Red Hallucinations

Weird title, I know.

"I'm guessing that, my so dear sister, didn't explain to neither of you what will happen now, so you won't totally freak out when I say it myself. And while there's still the chance of you running away or try beating me up when I tell you, I'll still take the risk." He explained, while walking back to the frightened redhead.

"Why are you trying to scare me so much?" Wendy asked, slowly trying to stand up and back away from the chair. But Dipper grabbed her by the nape and, with not much of an effort, made her sit back down.

"Because I like seeing you suffer, Red." He whispered, his breath tickling her ear. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and saw an eerie smile to creep the male's lips.

"You're getting a haircut." He said letting go of her nape, but she was already frozen and didn't try to run away.

The other two could see the fear in her eyes, but didn't say anything. Instead of that, Grenda made herself comfortable on the bed, and Mabel decided to go to her brother.

She watched as he combed Wendy's hair, and took some of it in one hand. With the other, he held the scissors and was about to cut.

"Wait a minute. Are you really going to cut it so short?" Mabel questioned, lightly stopping her brother's hand by the wrist.

Wendy tensed even more, but did not dare move. Dipper stopped so to think, but quickly made his mind and nodded his head. Mabel withdrew her hand and Dipper swiftly brought his, back to his victim's long ginger locks.

And cut.

Then again.

And again.

And one more time.

And then he stopped.

When he dropped the long mop of hair to the floor, he saw something shiny with a handle sticking from Wendy's jeans.

"Oh, hell no!" He exclaimed pulling an axe out. The other two gasped and Wendy visiblly panicked.

"Were you hiding it there all this time?" Mabel asked, surprised.

"Oh, she carries that even at school!" Grenda decided to join the conversation.

"Wha- How do you know that?!" Wendy questioned, with a puzzled expression.

"I have the eyes of an eagle." She informed.

A minute of silence passed and Dipper threw the axe on the bed.

He finished what he had left to do with Wendy's hair and then did her makeup while Mabel did Grenda's.

Meanwhile

Pacifica and Gideon had gone to look for their friends. As they reached one of the bathrooms, they saw Grenda walking away from it. They called after her, but she was too caught up in her thoughts to pay any attention.

They were about to follow her when they heard someone's panting, mixed with loud sobbing and the sound of running water from a sink. They opened the door to the horrid view of Candy having a panic attack.

"Oh, God!" Said Pacifica, and sat on the floor next to the brunette. She brushed behind Candy's ear some of the damp hair that was sticking to her face and started making soothing circles on her back.

Gideon was standing there, at the doorway, trying to warm up his frozen brain. He didn't know what to do and was just staring at his friends.

When he found enough strength, so to move the cogwheels in that big brain of his, and started thinking properly, he stopped the water. Then he kneeled down and made Pacifica to make some space.
