This has graphic imagery. 

Hi! It's me...Mabel. Sorry, I've been gone for so long....but, I had to process what my Grunkle tried to do. He almost destroyed the peace that we established in our part of Gravity Falls. We told him that going against Bill was a bad idea, but it seems like he tried to destroy Bill. When we heard the news...we couldn't help ourselves from being extremely angry at him. Ford tried to kill Bill....the evil dorito who almost killed all of us. We left everything behind just so our families could be safe and instead of listening to us...he decided to try to kill him.

Luckily, Bill decided not to punish us for Ford's stupid mistake. A godsend if you really think about it. However, I noticed more weird behavior from my brother when Bill read Ford's punishment to all of us. He seemed more interested in Bill than seeing our grunckle  be punished by the henchmanics. I can still remember the screams of pain and the blood that spilled all over us. So much blood. I could still see it in the countless nightmares that plagued me for months.

I could barely stand seeing him being killed by Bill's friends and almost wanted to turn around and hide myself until this was over. But I stayed....everyone stayed and watched as one of my Grunckles died a terrible death. The most thing that I most remember was seeing Dipper's smile as he watched Ford get torn apart. 

Why? Why did Dipper smile while Ford was in agony? Maybe he was in his happy place to avoid the image of Ford dying. Yeah...that must be it. Besides Dipper loves all of us and would never smile as we die. Right?

Anyway...Our entire community needed time to process this tragedy. To be honest, we all knew that this would happen....but, seeing it was different than just imagining it. Shaking my head, I tried to make sense of this entire situation that my friends and family are in right now. Our lives are forever changed and no matter what we do....

We can't change anything. I had to stop myself from crying when I wrote that....We shouldn't give up hope. However, what good is hope when there is nothing to hope for. Lots of people are suffering because of our failure. And what's worse....my brother is still with that Dorito who is several steps ahead of us.

I..I should stop writing for now before I go into some depressive rant that will only cause me to hide away in my room. The survivors need me to stay strong, but with each passing day....

My strength is slowly leaving me and causing doubts to appear.But, I'm sure that we can someday get our freedom back.

Goodbye for now....Mabel.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter....Bye 👋
