Chapter 3: Cross my Heart and Hope To Die
Ford POV
"What do we do?" Mayvis ask me, tears flowing down her face. "Mom is gone and everyone is dead. There is blood." Then Mayvis started to take short breaths. She was having a panic attack. I grab her shoulder, "Mayvis! Calm down and breathe!" I took deep breaths with her and I had her sit down.
"Alright I know things are bad right now, very bad but don't worry! Everything will be alright..." I lied.
"How can you be sure!" Mayvis cried out. "Mom and Dad are gone! We can't do anything!" Then Mavis started to cry. "Mayvis snap out of it!" I beg her.
"Mommy and Daddy are gone?" LanLee cried. Then she started to cry. "LanLee! Don't worry! Mommy and Daddy are going back. Don't worry." I tried to convert her but that wasn't helping. Dipper and I were the only ones that weren't crying. Well I was the one that was crying at all. Dipper had tears falling down his cheeks but wasn't balling like his sisters.
"Alright! Calm down! Stop crying! Please!" I beg. "Oh please help me." I beg to the sky.
Then I sigh, "Alright, please stop crying. I can't help you if you are crying. If you are crying then we can't help Mom and Dad." Mayvis and LanLee stop crying but were sniffling. "Alright thank you." I started, "Now I know this is crazy and scared but we knew about this. We know that there is a war between light and dark. It's been going on for 12 years now and we knew that someday darkness will seem to be winning but luckily there is hope."
"What kind of hope?" Mayvis ask.
"Us!"
"What?" all my siblings gasp.
"That is right. Right now, the people you are most likely behind this wall of rock are dead or imprison when they go to the other side or they are just going to run away. No! We can't just run away. Pine Tree has our mom and dad and the rest of everyone. We can't let darkness win! Then had their fun for 12 years and I say light shall come out!" I cheered.
My siblings just look at me. Dipper threw his fist up and then release that nobody was doing it he quickly put it down.
"Ford that must be the craziest thing I have ever heard!" Mayvis snap. The judger, always have and always will.
"But it is worth a shot! You know the stories that mom told us about how Great Grunkle Ford would go on adventures and how she went through adventures also! We can start now!"
"But you aren't Great Grunkle Ford! You are just named after him, you aren't really him." Mayvis pop my bubble.
I groan.
"Mayvis what if Ford can be Great Grunkle Ford?" LanLee ask, "We can do something, can't we Ford?"
"Of course! This could be like a game!"
"What kind of game is this? Cat and mice?" Mayvis hiss. "Ford I know you want to save mom and dad but how can we? We are just kids. The oldest is 10, two of us are 6, and the last one is 4! We are just a group of kids!"
"That is it! They don't expect a group of kids to do something! They won't expect a group of kids to go in and take down the place."
"Stanford! We aren't going to save the whole thing!" Mayvis snaps.
I roll my eyes.
"Mayvis let Ford finish!" Dipper asks.
"Thank you Dipper. Now as I was saying before...with the help of Mom and Dad and Great Grandpa we can take down the whole place and light can rule again!" I continue.
Dipper stood up and threw his fist in the air, "I like it!"
"We can't!" Mayvis protested.
"I think we can." LanLee reply softly.
"Mayvis it is three against one." I smirk, "You can stay here and let the scabers come and get you or you can follow me."
We all look at Mayvis. Mayvis sighs, "Alright, fine." Dipper hugs his twin, "yay!" LanLee clap her hands and jump up and down, "We are going to save Mommy and Daddy and the world! yyyaaaayyyy!" I gave a proud smile and gave a super hero stand, "Then let's do it."
Mayvis was unsure about this, "Oh alright I guess. What is the plan then?"
"We..." I started but I really don't know.
"How about out?" LanLee suggested.
"What do you mean LanLee?" I ask.
LanLee pointed in the direction the demon's went out, "Out."
"I get it! We head to where they are leaving. They must have transporters to carry out the prisoners! Great idea LanLee." I said. LanLee gave a huge smile. I reach down and picked her up, "Alright lets go before the scabers come."
Mayvis grabs her twin brother's hand and they to walk. "Wait shouldn't we stop breathing right now?" I ask. "Not if..." Mayvis started. Then I saw it. There was a whole on the side of the wall not from the outside but from the inside. "It was an inside job. They were traitors in the base. They snitch on us and turn us all in!" I gasp.
"Who would do that?" LanLee ask.
"People who are afraid and what power." Mayvis mutters, "That is how Tori got up so high. One she ran to the darkness when she lost to gain the throne and then Pine Tree and her fall in love and what not and she is high up but Pine Tree will always be higher."
Then we went around a corner. I gasp and I yank everyone away to the wall. "What? What is it?" Dipper asks.
"Transporters." I muttered. I look around the corner and there were transporters all over the courtyard and loading people up. I look around and I could see Mom and Pine Tree. Pine Tree shove Mom to a transporter then the door close and it went up in the air and drove away in through the hole.
"We got to get in." I muttered.
"Hide!" LanLee said.
"What?" I ask looking at her; I was worried that someone was coming. LanLee pointed to a couple of boxes that some demons were loading up in a transporter. "Hide!" LanLee repeated. "Great idea! We can hide in the boxes." Mayvis concluded. "Alright." I reply. I looked around and nobody was around, "Alright let's do this." Then we quickly and quietly head to the boxes. I open the box open and I put LanLee inside. Then I put Dipper inside, then I was about to put Mayvis inside. Right during I heard footsteps coming and I saw Pine Tree coming. "Hurry!" Mayvis panic. Then I hoisted Mayvis into the box then hop in myself. Then I grab the lid and close it. Luckily the box was large enough to hold all four of us and a few pieces of gold. They are stealing from us!
"What is taking you so long?" I heard Pine Tree ordering.
"Sorry Master Pine Tree." reply a gruff voice.
"Well if you are truly sorry then hurry up! We don't want the scaber to take all the goods. Who knew that these people have gold, toop, Silver, and much more just laying around? Now chop chop or I'll chop you!" Pine Tree hiss.
"Yes Master." I heard more this time replying.
Then the box was lifted. Then I watch as LanLee raising her head to sneeze. I cover her mouth, "Shshs, hold it in!" I pleaded. Then the box was drop and the sound of doors closing then LanLee sneeze into my hand. "Bless you!" Dipper smiled. I wipe the spit in my mouth, "Alright be quite, all of you." I order in the nicest tone. "Ford its dark and I'm scared." Dipper said, leaning against me. "Don't worry; we are going to be alright. We will find Mom and Dad and get them out and they can handle this alright. The bad guys aren't going to get us. We are safe." I said softly.
Then the transporter started to move and we were shifted, I hit my head on the box. "Ouch." I mumble. "Are you alright." Mayvis ask. "I'm fine."
"Ford I'm tired." LanLee said, "And it's hot."
I touch her forehead. She was burning up. I knew that she had a fever today but I thought it would have been better by this time but it LanLee. LanLee always got sick.
"Get some sleep LanLee. I'll wake you up when we land." I order. LanLee nod and rest her head on my lap. "You all should get some sleep." Dipper didn't say no. He rests his head on my shoulder. Mayvis stayed up. "Mayvis you should sleep."
"And so should you." Mayvis protested.
"You need it more."
"We both need it."
"Find I guess we can take turns? Sounds good?"
Mayvis gave a small nod, "Alright, promise?"
I nod, "Of course."
"Cross your heart and hope to die?"
I gave a small smile, "Cross my heart and hope to die."
Mayvis gave a small smile and she lay down and went to sleep. I look at my siblings. For me I knew I was just a 10 year old boy but I was told I was smart. For me I know I'm stepping though something that I know I shouldn't have. This was a 12 year old war going on and I'm putting myself in it, but this is for life or death, light or darkness. But I got to help my siblings to survive this. I got to save Mom and Dad. I got to be a hero like Great Grunkle Ford. I was name after him so why can't I be him. Mom and Dad named name me after her because he died as a hero and because he ended his life to save my Mom. He was a hero and if I have his name then I should honor it. I close my eyes and breathe, "Alright Ford you can do this. You just got to pretend that you are Great Grunkle Ford. Then you are able to do this. You are able to this. Save Mom and Dad and they can handle it. Right? Right." I started yawn. I only sleep for a few hours before the demons came. I started to lay back and I close my eyes and I fell asleep.
