Fight Beside Me chapter 5

Chapter 5

Mabel always tried to look on the bright side of things no matter what the situation. She always believed no matter how bad things seemed to get, she would always think about all the good things the make her smile and raise up her spirits.

So why wasn't that the case now?

Mabel tried for the umpteenth time to dry her never ending tears.

She was trapped within the dreamscape with her tormenter when he had somehow cheated the odds of death and had made a quick dash to grab the young woman and bring her back with him.

Here she was all alone... Here there was no where to run or hide...

If that made a difference anyway, as Mabel's wrists and ankles were shackled with blue enflamed chains; giving her no ability to move let alone walk.

The chains were connected to a large golden throne, making sure the young woman wouldn't run off.

She was dressed in a short but flowing white off the shoulder dress with long bell sleeves and white lacy footless tights. She had no shoes, making her bare feet curl against the cold ground.

Mabel looked down at outfit Bill so graciously made her wear. It wasn't the most degrading thing, but it didn't make her feel anymore comfortable. She felt still felt vulnerable and naked. The demons was making her wear it and she didn't want to wear anything he wanted. However when threats of her wearing almost next to nothing, she settled for the dress and shut up.

She could only sit there and bawl her eyes out in the darkness. How could her parents sell her like that? What could they possibly gain by giving her to the dream demon. What was her value and what was their prize for their sacrifice?

All she could now was pray that Dipper would come for her, he had to. He would never abandon her, would he?

Mabel's ears perked up when she heard the ominous clicking of leather shoes coming closer and closer to the throne.

From the corners of her tearstained hazel eyes, she could see the tall blonde haired man smiling down upon her petite body.

"Still crying...?" He purred. His smooth but shrilled voice malicious and taunting.

Mabel tried shaking her head as the tears poured down her cheeks. She tried to brush them away as sobs were trying to come up her throat and she had to swallow them down with force. She may have given Bill the pleasure of seeing her cry, but she wasn't going to give the satisfaction of her speaking.

"You still don't want to talk to me?" He mockingly pouted.

Mabel turned her head away.

Bill chuckled as he shook his head, walking to the throne.

"That's fine, Shooting Star. I guess that means you don't want to have those chains off, but hey that's your decision and; you can just give me the silent treatment all you want."

Mabel struggled and tried to wiggle out of her chains in stress.

"You don't talk to me, chains stay put."

Mabel attempted to swing at him when he froze her place.

"Keep it up and you'll sleep on the cold ground."

Mabel cringed not liking how cold the floor was. She wanted her warm bed. She quickly sat like an obedient child in school, looking at the demon with innocent eyes.

"I thought so..." He hissed, sitting down on throne.

There was a very long amount of silence in the room around them. Mabel was glad at this. It was like she could pretend to believe that she wasn't in the dreamscape at all. She could almost tell herself that she was back home with Dipper. Talking about what they were going to do that day and what random adventures they were going to find. For a moment she almost felt a small smile form on her face.

Only this wasn't meant to last very long when she could feel Bill tugging her chains, pulling her closer to him.

Her lips quiver and the sobs were slowly beginning back up her throat.

She wanted so desperately to go home.

"Do you want to sit on my lap, Shooting Star?" The demon asked in a sickeningly sweet voice.

Mabel shook her head her no fiercely. She had no desire to appease the demon in the slightest.

Bill's eye seemed to flicker in the darkness as he stared down at her.

"Did you want to change your mind, Shooting Star?" He asked in a dangerously low voice, his eye turning blood red.

Mabel squeaked in horror before she quickly joined him on the throne. He pulled her close, caressing her long dark hair.

"I wish there was another way this could've have gone down, my pet; but it was the only way I could get you back here without a fight. Though your parents promised I could have you many years ago and by right you are mine."

Mabel looked away, how could her parents promise that Bill could take her.

"People will do anything if given the right incentive or desperation. Your parents were exactly like that; and I promised them many things in exchange for you.

Mabel didn't know what to say. He had taken her from there home and he was getting such pleasure out of Dipper becoming more and more distraught by her disappearance. He had no idea of what their parents had done; and all he knew were the people around him including their parents, were acting like she never existed. It was like she didn't matter anymore. Now she was stuck with the demon whether she wanted to be or not.

But what would happen to Dipper?

A dark chuckle rumbled in the demon's throat.

The young woman looked back up at him to see a shark toothed smile spread across his face.

"Consider yourself lucky, Shooting Star. Pine Tree is in for a very rude awakening... The remainder of his life is going to be nothing but shock and horror; but then again, that's what he gets for getting in my way... For defeating me... And I can assure you getting back here was not an easy feat."

Mabel stared down at the ground. She would do anything to help her brother against Bill.

"Of course you would do anything to try and help your brother, only that's not happening this time, Shooting Star... He has Llama as positive reinforcement; and you're not going anywhere."

Bill quickly pulled on her chains and pulled her even closer.

"But why do you want to go back there?" He purred. You can stay right here with me... You'll never feel hurt or lonely again... You'll never worry about Pine Tree or the rest of your family or friends abandoning you. Soon I'll make you forget all about them..."

Mabel shook her head as the tears started pouring down her cheeks again. She just wanted to be at home with her brother safe.

Bill held her close, tilting her head back up to look at him.

"This is your home now..." He hissed, softly. "And I'll never let you go..."

The demon then pulled her in for a kiss. Mabel wanted to pull away, but his lips felt soft against hers, leaving her frozen in fear and allowing the demon to kiss her.

He soon parted from her and leaned back on his throne. Putting his feet up and holding Mabel in his arms.

The young woman only sat in his arms with her head resting against his chest. She remained silent as fingers continued stroking her hair.

She could feel her mind start to fog. Her memory was slowly fading. Bill was already starting to make her forget about her family.

She would have to hang on, just enough until Dipper came to save her.

She just prayed he would come before it was to late.
