Betrayal

Chapter 22

~Stan's POV~

Wendy's head snapped up. "H-how do you know my name?"

"Wendy, it's me, Stan," I said. "I"m you're-well, I was your boss."

"What do you mean?" Wendy asked. "I've been studying to become a nurse for years."

"What?" I asked. "No, you're my laid back employee who I've always wanted to fire but didn't have the heart to do it."

"Look Mr..." she glanced down at her clipboard. "Pines. I don't know what kind of illness you have, but we'll help you through it."

"I'm not sick!" I said. "Where's Soos? He'll believe me."

She gave me another confused look. "Soos Ramirez, the mayor?"

"The...what?" I asked. "No, Soos my handyman."

Wendy shrugged.

"What about the Mystery Shack?" I asked.

"You don't know?" Wendy said with surprise. "That burned down about a year ago. No survivors."

~Mabel's POV~

I ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was going, but anywhere was better than here!

I had to get back to the portal. Maybe I could find Grunkle Stan and Ford. They could help! But...I had no idea where it was.

My arm screamed in pain. The medicine had almost finished mending it, but I could tell it wasn't healing right. Maybe if I ran to the hospital really quick. Who knows, maybe I'll find the alternate version of someone I know there. Wait! Go find the Mystery Shack! I thought. Its got to be around here somewhere!

I came out of the woods I was lost in to a clearing. The surrounding woods looked so familiar, but all I saw was a burned down building. A sign read ys r ha k. The rest of the letters were missing, but I still knew exactly what it was. The Shack... Stan...Soo...Wendy...me...Dipper. This had to be the work of Bill.

I walked around in the ruins of the Mystery Shack, hoping to find a clue of some sort. All this stuff seemed old and I was scared that it would collapse on me.

"Hey!" Came a yell behind me. I jumped and turned to see Robbie standing behind me. "What do you think you're doing in there, kid?"

"I...I was just-"

He held up a hand. "They told me to make sure no one went in there."

"Who?" I asked. "Why?"

"The government guys. They didn't tell me why, but I wouldn't want to be the one to disobey their orders. Who are you anyway?"

"I'm Mabel," I said.

"Mabel...where have I heard that name before?" Robbie tapped his chin in thought.

"Do you remember Dipper?" I asked.

"You mean that kid who went insane? Yeah, everyone knows about him. He did all that," he pointed to the ruins of the shack. "Kills his whole family and then himself."

"Who ran this place before they died?" I asked.

"Some old guy who was some sort of con. I wouldn't worry about it. He wasn't missed."

"Who else did the fire kill?" I asked, wondering if Soos and Wendy were killed too.

"Just some tourists and the kid's sister," Robbie said. I noticed that he looked a little more approachable in this dimension. Not like some sort of creature of darkness and sorrow.

"When did this happen?" I asked.

Robbie shrugged. "About a year ago. Why do you even care."

"No reason," I said.

"Well, if you're done asking questions, get the heck out of here."

"Fine," I said. I walked back into the woods, hoping to find that stupid portal.

~Demon Dipper's POV~

"What do we do with the kids?" Bill from a different dimension asked.

"Well, we can't kill them. Trust me, you might be able to turn that one, but he's tough. Believe me."

I glanced at the other dimension me. So...

So...

So nice to here them seal our fates.

I thought that this meant I was losing my mind, other Dipper thought.

I mentally shrugged. Maybe. I don't doubt it. Been there, done that.

Did I seriously try to kill Mabel?

Yup.

How can you say that just like that?! Don't you have a sister here?

I did.

The other me glanced over at me. I tried not to show the tears falling silently down my cheeks.

Oh. Look, I'm sorry man.

It's fine, I said back. It was a year ago. Killed Stan too. Burned the Shack to the ground. I chewed my lip. Bill made me do it.

I wouldn't doubt that.

"Do you two mind shutting up?" Other dimention Bill yelled. "You're conversation is getting in the way of our deciding what to do with you two!"

"Sorry," I muttered half-heartedly.

So, kinda an odd cut off, but I honestly had no idea how to go on with this
I just need to breath, take time to think of how I want this to end, and go around that
Thank you all for being so patient for all these updates!
