It was dark, cold, and wet inside the cave i was hiding in. I can't remember why i'm out here, but what i do know is i'm not alone.
'What do I do..? What the hell is chasing me?! Summer break just started and there's already something CRAZY going on!'
My thoughts clouded my mind while I tried to find Mabel. She had run into the cave with me, but now she's not here….
*SNAP*
I start bolting out of the cave as i hear something behind me.
'Don't stop running. It'll kill me. I'm gonna die out here with this…..thing….What if it got Mabel?!.'
I shake my head remembering what Mabel had told me.
"If we get separated," she said while panting. " Then meet at our tree."
Our tree was one we had found the second summer we visited Gravity falls. It was the biggest one in the forest and had a hole in it just big enough for mabel and I to fit in. The tree had markings on it and didn't let anything touch 'it' or anything around it. It was almost like….magic….
The sound of my feet caving in on me made me snap out of my thoughts.
All of a sudden i went tumbling down a hill and into a ditch. It was wet and sticky under all of the rain and mud, so falling into the ditch didn't help my situation. I felt a sting in my arm and looked down to see I cut myself open on the way down. I stumbled up out of the ditch and realized…...the creature was right in front of me.
1 week earlier :
I woke up to the sound of Mabel cheering and screaming with joy.. It was our sixteenth birthday and she was planning everything. Grunkle Stan and Ford weren't too thrilled about being woken up to Mabel screaming, but they understood how much this meant to her. Our parents disappeared two years ago, and our grunkles took us in after that. Mabel has been going to the high school here in Gravity falls, and she said it was nice. Of course Mabel and I missed our parents, but out here we feel safe, well, at least when our grunkles are around. Gravity Falls is a place full of mystery, so you never really get bored out here. School is alright, but I got bullied a lot back in our old school.
Mabel is very popular here (Probably because of her dazzling personality.) I swear, she puts glitter on everything.
Mabel is really boy crazy, and sometimes she even gawks over girls.
Everyone at school will talk behind your back if you do something wrong, or…...embarrassing. Mabel has been going to the high school here in gravity falls ever since we got here. I've just been staying home and working with Ford in the lab. But this year i'm being forced by Mabel and Stan to go to Gravity falls high school.
"DIPPER!" Mabel screamed in my ear.
"OW, MABEL, geez!" i said while jumping back.
"Dip Dop! whatcha thinking about~?" Mabel said in a curious tone.
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me Dipping sauce! I've got twin senses!"
"If you have twin senses then you should know what i'm thinking"
She was about to say something, but instead she grabbed a pillow off my bed and hit me in the face.
"That's not how my twin senses work! They just...uh….tell me when your lying and when your not! HAHAHAHA!" she continued as she kept hitting me with my pillow. I ran down from the attic with her chasing me, and ran into her room. I saw three of her friends inside run into a corner and hide. I assume they're trying to surprise Mabel.
I just ignored them, grabbed a pillow, and hid by her door.
"Oh Dipper~" she sang while opening the door.
Mabel's friends jumped out from their hiding spots and screamed;
"SURPRISE!"
"CANDY! GRENDA! PACIFICA! OH MY GOSH!"
They all just stood there and hugged forever. I was a little surprised that Pacifica was actually here. At school, she was really sassy and mean, but then she kind of changed. She started being nice to us after we saved her and her family from an evil ghost or spirit.
When Mabel, Grenda, Candy, and Pacifica finally stopped their hugging Mabel backed away with a grin.
I leaped out from behind her door.
"YAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed.
She turned around right as the pillow hit her smack dab in the face.
Mabel just stood there, stunned. She picked up the pillow she had dropped on the floor...
"..."
"ATTAAAAAAACK!"
"Oh shit!"
I bolted out of her room as her friends grabbed pillows and followed behind her.
"GRUNKLE FORD!" I screamed as I bumped into him.
"What's wrong Dipper!?"
"I need you to hide me so Mabel and her friends don't kill me..."
"What did you do to make them want to kill you?"
" I may or may not have hit Mabel in the face with a pillow..."
His eyes widened and he chuckled.
"Sorry Dipper, your on your own."
Mabel and her friends had found my position, and they were pissed, but in a good way.
"DIPPER!" They all screamed in unison.
I started to get beaten with pillows and I ran into the living room. Obviously they chased me. The girls started laughing while I was being hit by the pillows. I tried to deflect and dodge them, but it was no use.
" HEY!" Grunkle Stan walked into the room. "Why are you having a pillow fight in MY living room!?" He sounded pissed off and the girls looked at him then back to each other. "Without me?!"
We all smiled and looked up at Stan who had grabbed two fluffy body pillows. The girls screamed and started running around. Stan helped me up and we teamed up.
"Truce?" I asked.
"Truce!"
We chased the girls down and we all started hitting each other. Mabel was about to say something when I heard glass breaking. I looked behind me and noticed Mabel had hit one of Fords weird gadgets...and it was shattered everywhere.
"What was that!?" We heard him yell from the kitchen.
Mabel look startled and she shooed her friends upstairs. When Ford scrambled into the room, he was pissed.
"WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!" he screamed.
"Um….." Mabel started.
"It was me!" I vowed for her. "We were having a pillow fight and mine got too close to the wall. It was an accident."
"Dipper, I know it's your birthday, but this can't go unpunished…"
"Yeah bu-"
"You are not allowed in the lab for a while."
"What?! That's not fair!"
"I'm sorry Dipper but if you broke something I can't let you in the lab!"
"But it wasn't Dipper!"Mabel barged in the conversation. "It was me….he was just trying to vouch for me.
"Mabel….stop" I mumbled under my breath just loud enough for her to hear me.
"It doesn't matter. I've been meaning to tell you anyway…."
"What….."
"The lab is too dangerous for you to be in right now and I don't think you should help anymore…."
"But Grunkle For-" He cut me off.
He turned his back to me, and I stomped out the door.
"Dipper!" I heard Mabel yell from behind me. "Dipper wait!"
I continued forward into the woods, my fast pace turning into a run.
I stopped to catch my breath. 'Dammit…..' i thought to myself.
"Dipper?!" I heard Mabel yell. She soon caught up to me, and put her hand on my shoulder for support. "Dipper…..are you okay….? I know Ford can be a little harsh….but…..-" I cut her off by putting my index finger in the air to shoosh her.
"Do you hear that….?" I said trembling….It started pouring, and when I heard thunder, I practically jumped out of my skin. I hate storms…..Ever since are parents disappeared….I was with them when it happened…..
We heard so many noises; laughter, thunder, snarling, and the occasional lightning.
"Dipper….what was that?!" Mabel said grabbing my arm.
Glowing red eyes appeared in front of us followed by snarling and growls. A strange creature leapt out at us, I grabbed Mabel and ran. We soon found a cave, and hid inside of it.
*Back to where where we started*
The creature got really close to my face, it's teeth as white as snow, just like it's fur.
I closed my eyes, hoping it would let me live, but in the back of my mind…..i knew it wouldn't.
I feel the weight above me lesson and i feel a hand around my neck. I open my eyes to see a man. He had a slender body almost like a snakes. His skin was fair and very pale. He had jet black hair with streaks of purple. He had a black shirt and a purple vest with a tail trailing behind it.
"Hello~" he says in a smooth voice. "You smell…..very good…..human…."
"W-WHAT!?" i yell. He covers my mouth and smiles. I see sparkling white teeth glowing with blood. He's….a vampire….I haven't seen a vampire before, so it really surprised me to one.
I just stared at him with disbelief.
"Your….a vampire."
He looked at me shocked, until a grin smeared upon his face.
"Well, it's not everyday my meal can figure out what i am. How lovely…...I was going to let you go…..but now that you know what I am, well, I can't let you go now!"
'Shit' I thought to myself. He bared his teeth with his grin still on his face. I started squirming from his grasp. I managed to slip one of my arms out from underneath myself, and I threw a punch at him landing it right in his jaw. He got off of me as his own blood dripped from his mouth. I took my chance to escape. I started running as fast as I could, I stopped for a second trying to calm down my burning lungs.
"That's a shitty move you just made there kid..!" I heard his voice move in all the directions around me, but I couldn't locate where it was coming from.
*CrAcK*
I scream as I hear, and feel, the cracking of my arm as it's pulled behind me.
"GAH!" I feel my arm being bent backwards as I scream. But before it broke, my arm was released. Another creature appeared from thin air and lunged at the creature above me.
