Chapter 6: Inner Magic
Ford POV
I had to do something. LanLee was about to be found. Pine Tree reach for the drawer and right when he touches the handle a voice stop him, "Master Pine Tree." I look and could see a bull and a hog person. Pine Tree look up, "What?" He snaps. "The prisoners are getting out of hand Master. They are throwing fights and they are getting out of hand Master. We need your help. There is one prisoner with magic and he is using this stone to do it." He replies. "Arg, Gideon. I though he was a meal to one of you." Pine Tree said as he got up. "Alright, let's go. Come Mr. Trink time for a small little lesson on how to settle prisoners."
Then the three left with the room dark. I gave a huge sigh of relief and I got out of the closet. "Alright come out." I called out low. Everyone came out of their hiding spots. "That was scary." Dipper said. "I'm sure he was going to find either you or LanLee."
"I'm guessing Pine Tree knows Gideon." Mayvis reply, "I'm not rutting for the bad guys but I really do hope Pine Tree does kill Gideon. Remember how he treated us. He was so creepy and how he looks at Mom...even creepier." We all shiver. "Let's not talk about Gideon." I declare and we all agree quickly.
"Alright so Mr. Trink snitches on us. So now Pine Tree knows what we look like and is after us." Mayvis said.
"What is Uncle Pine Tree going to do to us?" LanLee ask.
"Don't know, kill us, and imprison us, who knows. Things might change since we are family." I reply, "But we can't trust him alright. We can't let him or anyone else sees us. We don't want to get caught alright. Also be careful now since apparently Pine Tree can sense our magic since of great grandpa Cade had this special magic that he knows of. So he can since us so we got to be careful."
Everyone nod. "Alright so we got to get Mom and Dad." I said.
"Where can we find them?" Dipper asks.
"Well Mom is imprison but in a safe place. Dad who knows." Mayvis reply.
"So we just got play find me." LanLee smiled.
I gave a small chuckle, "I guess that is right. Find me."
Find me was a game that we used to play. An object is hidden by one person and we all have to find it. There is many way of winning this game. One you can just go out and search for the whole time and find the object or two you can ask the person questions about the object or three you find the clues that the person left.
"Alright what trick are we going to do for the game? Search, ask, or discover?" I ask.
"What about all." LanLee guess.
"We can't ask. That is bad. We can't ask people where is Mom." Mayvis reply.
"Alright so search and discover." I concluded. "We can look around and look for clues."
LanLee starts to clap, "Yay! Find me! Find me!"
"Alright should we split up?" I ask.
"Maybe not right now." Mayvis reply.
"Well let's go and search and discover."
Then we went out of the hallway. "Remember don't ask but search and discover, alright." They all nod. Then we started to go through the hallway. I was hoping that guards will talk more about it. We went round, hiding in rooms and so on.
"Ford I'm tired." LanLee whine.
"Me too." Dipper added.
"Ford what are we going to do?" Mayvis ask, "At this rate we will never find Mom or Dad."
I pause for a moment. I look at my younger and sleepy siblings. Then I pause for a moment, "This may sound crazy but it is worth something maybe." I muttered.
"What are you thinking?" Mayvis ask.
"Well Tobo and even that demon bird thought that Dipper was Pine Tree. He looks so much like Pine Tree he can pull it off." I reply.
"Smart but not going to work. Pine Tree is Mom's age and Dipper is 6. He may look like Pine Tree but not the age or height." Mayvis poked.
"So? Pine Tree has magic and all. Dipper can say he is trying out on a spell, Lord Cipher, blah blah. He can do it right?" I ask Dipper.
Dipper look up, "I don't know."
"Come one Dipper you can play Act. This is for Mom."
Dipper sighs and lean against me, "I want to help Mom but I don't know if I could do it. They are scary bad guys and what if I got caught?"
I pat him on the back, "You can do it. You just got to act like Pine Tree. Act rude, mean, snappy, and like you are the boss. Can you play act? You can act like that can't you?"
Dipper sigh, "I-I don't know. Being mean isn't my thing and I like to hide not to be the boss."
"But this is Act! You just got to act like Pine Tree. Can't you do that?"
Dipper sigh, "I-I can try."
I smiled, "Alright." Then we walked and I could see a guard down the hall. I pull Dipper to the side, "Alright Dipper act like Pine Tree. Can you do that? Remember rude, mean, snappy and like you are the boss."
"Like Sugar?" Dipper asks.
"Yes! That is perfect! Act like Sugar."
Sugar was this rude woman. This middle age woman who yells and snaps at everyone and treating people like they are lower than her. She was like this old lady I guess but it will have to work.
"You can do it Dipper." Mayvis hug her twin brother. Then LanLee hug him, "Go Dippy!" Dipper gave a deep breath, "We will meet up alright. Ask where my sister is and if they ask why you are so young and little just say it is a spell that you are trying out." I said to him. Then Dipper nod then he went around the corner where the guard was coming up. I looked around the corner to watch Dipper.
"You!" Dipper snaps.
"M-Master?" the guard stuttered.
"Who else?" Dipper snaps.
"B-But you are small?"
"Trying out a spell, none of your business! Now tell me! Where is M-my sister?" Dipper stuttered. I know that he was going to say mom but caught himself.
"What do you mean Master?"
"I was in the cell where I last saw her and now she is gone!"
"W-w"
"Chop Chop with the answer or I'll chop you!"
Dipper got that from what he heard from Pine Tree during the time that we are in the box.
"Um...She should be in the room. Room 318 on the third floor.Um.."
"Stop your stuttering? Getting a cold are you?"
That was from Sugar.
"Master?" The guard questioned.
"Yes?" Dipper snaps. "Hurry up and continue."
"Well she is still there...How could you forget?"
"Prisoners! They are getting out of hand and Lord Cipher is piling me up. So things can slip my mind you fool!"
The guard bowed, "Sorry Master. Please forgive me."
"I'll think about it. Now get back to work." Dipper snaps. The guard bowed and continues to walk. The guard started to walk towards us. "Ah! Quick! Hide!" I order. Then we quickly rush into this room and the guard walked passes us. I then got out and Dipper came around the corner. I pull him in. I huge him, "Dipper that was amazing! I'm so proud!" LanLee and Mayvis also hug him. "Great job!" "Yay!"
"Discover!" Dipper cheered. Then we headed out. "Alright to the third floor we go." I order. Then we went through, going through the house. "How do we get to the next floor?"
"Good question." Mayvis pointed out. "I guess there is only transporting because everyone is basically can."
I took a deep breath, "Alright I'm going to try it."
"What! You can't! You can kill us!" Mayvis poked my plan.
"It is worth a shot and I guess I could use some extra power from LanLee. We can do it Mayvis. Not as well or perfect as other people." I explain. "Just grab hands, LanLee hold my hand."
We all grip our hands. "Alright, breathe." I ordered. I close my eyes, "LanLee just mix your emotions alright. Get mad, sad, lost and confuse. Alright just mix everything and let your growing magic come to life."
I thought about my own emotions. Thinking about Tobo attacking my brother, the bird attacking Mom, all the names that people call me, everything bad that ever happen to me. Then I was thinking about all the sad things like losing my mom and dad, seeing all those bodies and blood.
I could feel this spark inside of me. "Third floor, third floor." I muttered, "Room 318, room 318." Then I could feel a spark just firing up. Then gone. I open my eyes and the room change. It was more...not so fancy.
"Did we..." Mayvis started.
"Yes we did. We are on the third floor." I smiled.
"Now how can we know what room?" Dipper asks.
Then I pointed up, "The rooms have numbers." This room was 380. Almost but you can't whine when you just transported. "Do you all feel alright?" I ask cause I know sometimes transporting at a young age make people sick but luckily Dad had transported us before.
"I'm good." Mayvis said.
"Me too!" LanLee giggle, "I still feel tingling. Teehee."
"Me also!" Dipper smiled.
"Alright we got to find the room, 318." I ordered.
"Let's split up." Mayvis guess. "It is such a large area to search and since we are on the right floor."
"Alright, just be careful." I ordered. We all nod and we all split up.
I ran down the hallway looking at the numbers, 360. No I'm in the 360's. I was going around the halls. 320. Yes I was getting close just around the corner. Then I was about to go around the corner but something stop me.
"Daddy!" It was LanLee. Dad? What? I poke my head around the corner and I could see my dad. He was standing in front of the door. He was wearing different clothes...almost like Pine Tree. A dark cloak, a long sleeve black shirt with brown straps at the chest and dark pants. Like Pine Tree.
I saw LanLee came around the other corner. "Daddy! Daddy!" LanLee cheered as she ran towards him. I got a bad feeling about this. Dad turns around and saw LanLee and bent down to hug her. "Daddy! I thought you were gone!" LanLee kiss Dad on the cheek. Then Dad picked up LanLee. "Daddy? What are you doing?" LanLee ask. She was uncertain with this. Then Dad reply, "Don't worry. You must have had a very long trip. You must be tired little one. You must sleep." Then Dad raises his hand and then LanLee just fell asleep.
"Oh no. They got Dad." I muttered. I backed away but ran into someone, "Hello, nephew." A voice sneer. I pause and I turn around and saw Pine Tree.
