They Called me a Traitor

~Chapter 10~

Mabel's POV:

   Bill and I stood there hugging each other in silence, enjoying the others company. Until we heard a loud crash and then a monster calling out. 

   "Uh boss, we got a problem!"

   "You want to come with me?"

   "I don't want to be in here alone if it's a big problem."

   "Come along then."

   Bill and I walked into the hall, which led to the room with his throne. But I noticed that it wasn't made of frozen people anymore, now it was just stone.

   "Teeth, you said there was a problem?"

   "The rebels are trying to break in again!"

   "Not again. Shooting Star, I want you to go back to your room."

   "B-but I could help!"

   "I don't want them hurting you or trying to take you back."

   "But Dad-"

   I was cut off by the sound of the wall cracking, and then breaking apart. I saw the Shacktron, and I was terrified to say the least.

   But nothing dangerous happened, people just came out of the shack and into the large room. I saw Candy and Grenda, who had both been taken by those bats a few months ago.

   "C-candy? Grenda?"

   They both came running to me, and we had a group hug.

   "Y-you guys are ok!"

   "Who cares if we're ok, you are trapped in Bill's castle, and we're here to rescue you!"

   "Candy, it's not what it looks like."

   "Woah woah, I know that this whole rescue thing is important, but girl, you gotta tell me where you got your outfit."

   "Well Grenda, um, it's just kinda, well, I don't know how to explain it."

   "Guys! Stop chatting with her, she's the enemy!"

   Dipper was telling my friends, my best friends, to leave me alone because I was the bad guy.

   I came out from behind Candy and Grenda, and I saw the shocked and scared looks on everyone's faces.

   "This is who I am! This is where I belong! And Bill is who I belong to!"

   I heard murmurs among the crowd, about my frightening appearance and how I was a traitor. I stood next to Bill, and looked at him with my frightened eye.

   "Shooting Star, listen to me. You are going to run as fast as you possibly can to your room. Once inside, you will lock the door. You are not to open it until I have teleported in there to tell you when this fight is over."

   "Y-yes father."

   Tears formed in my eye, and I sprinted out of the room and to my own. I quickly ran inside and locked the door behind me. I laid down on my bed, and I silently cried.

   I could hear every punch thrown at my father, every sound of a weapon hitting him. I could hear his blood dripping to the floor, I could hear his bones cracking, I could hear his cries in pain. All I could hear was his suffering, while the others seemed to be winning.

   "Don't let me be alone...."

   Waddles came and snuggled up against me, and I hugged him as I broke into a sob. It wasn't long before I had cried myself to sleep.
