Wendy POV
I cursed the eyeballs were flying around again turning people to stone. This was going to make the job of getting to the shack much harder. I raced through the back streets. Ducking behind random objects to avoid the eyeballs. They were really starting to get on my nerves. Ever since Bill Cipher had shown up and I had found out that I was on his stupid wheel my life had been going downhill.
What's worse is that people on the wheel are going missing. Ford, the six fingered hand, got himself turned to gold. Mabel, the shooting star, was still in her bubble. Dipper and Soos had been captured when we failed to get Mabel out of the bubble. I have no idea what happened to them. I can still see Dipper in my mind's eye, I can still hear what he said as he was dragged off.
"Wendy Run! Find Grunkle Stan! Tell him what happened!"
I had done the only sensible thing I could have done. I ran. Bill had been waiting inside the bubble, he had called Dipper Pine tree, Soos Question mark and me Ice bag. I knew why he called me that, why that was my symbol on the wheel. I act all cool and calm when really inside I bottle up all my feelings. Or bag them up in this case. Stan was the weird fish thing but that still left three unknown symbols. The Llama, the Glasses and the Heart with stitches. I looked behind me, now there were two bubbles chained down when before there had been one. The first was Mabel's pink bubble with the shooting star from her sweater, the other was a blue bubble with the pine tree from Dippers hat on it. I turned away. I knew Dipper was inside the second bubble, Bill had done it to taunt those who were on the wheel. I had no idea what had happened to Soos. Or Gideon for that matter.
I got to the woods and started racing through them. It wasn't far to the mystery shack! I raced towards it and burst through the door. It was empty. I ran around the place but there was no-one to be found. Up in Dipper and Mabel's room there was a wooden circle on the floor. I picked it up. On one side was a picture of the Cipher wheel.
"Bill!" I growled.
He had been here and left a calling card. That's why the house is empty. That's why he seemed so pleased with himself as Soos and Dipper had been captured. I failed. There was nothing I could do to help the others. Or was there?
I looked closer at the wheel. Six of the symbols were dim. The Pine tree, the Shooting star, the Question mark, the Six fingered hand, The STar with an eye and the weird fish/claw thing. Dipper, Mabel, Soos, Ford, Gideon and Stan. All of them had been captured. Two were bright. The Ice bag and the Llama. One was me and I had no idea who the other one was. I guessed that meant they were still free. The last two were dirty but I could see light shining through. The Heart with stitches and the glasses. I had no idea what that meant. Maybe it meant that they had yet to come to gravity falls, but that was stupid. Who would come here?
? POV
I looked behind me. The city I had grown up in had long since faded into the distance. Ahead of the bus I could see the signs for Gravity Falls. Beside me was sat my twin sister. I looked at her and smiled, she rolled her eyes.
"this is going to be a long week Ro" "I know Lil" I replied "I know"
