~Arrival (Part 2)~

"It's amazing Dipper! Great Uncle Ford was right! There really is paranormal stuff here!" Mabel opened the journal to a page of a large creature that had large fangs and showed it to Dipper. "According to this book, Gravity Falls is like a hotspot for the supernatural."

Dipper gazed at the page with a rather bored expression as he sat on the couch upside down. The twins were back at the Mystery Museum where Mabel deemed it much more safer from prying eyes. At least for now.

"But Mabel, you haven't seen a vampire or a..." Dipper squinted his eyes as he read the page of the journal while upside down. "A Shadow Wraith? Look, how do you know if they're even real?"

Mabel shut the book and placed it under her armpit. Dipper was right in a way. How did she even know if they were real if she have never seen them with her own eyes? Seeing was believing of course. So if that was the case, why would she trust the journal so soon? For all she knew, it could be a prank. Even Great Uncle Ford's job. She needed to see if he was telling the truth. And to do that, she needed to see anything supernatural.

"You're right..." Mabel mumbled quietly mostly to herself. She placed the journal inside her coat pocket and began to head for the door when a sudden sound of something hard crashing into the ground stopped her. Both Mabel and Dipper turned their heads to see a chubby man standing in the doorway staring at them with a brown toolbox lying at his feet. Mabel stared at the chubby man as she observed his appearance. He had light peach fair skin, and buck teeth. He wore dark brown shoes, beige pants and a jade green shirt with a big dark green question mark on the front of it. On his head was a furry brown hat. Perfect for the season.

The three continued staring at each other for what seemed like forever until Dipper finally broke the silence. He sat up and casually waved at the man. "Hi! I'm Dipper! The girl over there is my sister, Mabel. Wanna see my birthmark and be buds?"

The chubby man stared at Dipper for several seconds until he gave a large goofy smile. "Oh would I?!" The chubby man picked up the toolbox he dropped and carried it with him as he walked towards Dipper.

Dipper laughed and picked up his brown bangs showing his weird birthmark to the chubby man. The birthmark was in the shape of the Big Dipper. The chubby man gasped as soon as he saw it. "Dude, your birthmark has stars."

Dipper placed his hands on his hips as he proudly grinned at the chubby man. "I know right?"

Mabel placed her hand on her head as she mentally groaned. Of course Dipper would do that. Every time he would meet someone, he would show them his birthmark. It never really bothered Mabel much, but now that he did more often, it was hard not to wonder why her brother wouldn't use the normal way of greeting someone like shaking hands or bowing.

Mabel walked towards the chubby man and Dipper and placed a hand on Dipper. She looked up at the chubby man eyeing him. "So who are you?"

"Oh me?" Asked the chubby man. "I'm Soos. I work here for Mr. Pines. I'm his tool man." Soos held his toolbox up showing the twins his tools inside of it. He dropped his hand as he scratched his chin squinting at the twins. "But uh who are you?"

"We're Great Uncle Ford's niece and nephew. We're staying here for winter break. Didn't he tell you that?" Mabel asked wondering why Soos didn't know about them.

Soos shrugged his shoulders. "I guess Mr. Pines forgot. But it's cool." Soos looked back at the doorway and placed a finger under his chin. "Uh... I have to go fix a pipe. But we can hang out later if you dudes want."

Dipper gave Soos a large smile. "That would be so awesome!"

Soos nodded with a smile and turned walking out of the living room. Dipper chuckled and directed his attention back at Mabel. "Mabel! Isn't it cool?! We made a new friend!" From his eyes, Mabel could tell he was excited about that thought.

Mabel placed her hand on her hip. "Actually, you kind of did Dipper. Besides, how can you make a friend in one day?"

Dipper shrugged pointing both of his thumbs at his chest. "I guess I'm just that awesome."

Mabel shook her head at Dipper's statement. In a way, it was kind of true. Dipper didn't have a hard time making friends. Despite his silliness, he was able to get along with others very well. It was different though for Mabel. She had a hard time making friends, because of her curiosity for the supernatural. People didn't like that kind of crazy, so most of the time they bullied her. It was hard during middle school, but eventually Mabel learned to ignore it. After all, she still had Dipper to talk to about all her troubles.

Mabel blinked out of her thoughts and glance at the door then back at Dipper. "Dipper, I'm going to go outside in the forest."

"Again?" Asked Dipper. "Don't tell me you're going monster hunting." He smiled at that statement. "Because if you're going, I'm going too!"

Mabel groaned. "Fine, but just don't make too much noise. You might frighten the monsters away."

Dipper laughed. "Ha! I'm sure someone as cool as me can't do that." Dipper jumped off the coach and walked to Mabel. "But let's be back soon mabster. The forest gets spooky at night like that forest in that movie we watched in class last week."

Mabel rolled her eyes at Dipper's nickname for her. He was always giving her new nicknames claiming that her name was too boring and needed pizzazz. Not that she really didn't care of course, but sometimes Dipper's nicknames for her were too weird.

"Dipper, you do know that movie was fake right?" Mabel said as she opened the door walking out with Dipper not far behind closing the door behind him. As they began to walk into the winterly forest, Mabel continued the conversation. "I mean, it obviously was fake because of the poor directing skills. You could actually see the boom mic in one of the scenes."

Mabel trudged through the snow kicking both small stones and branches away from the path as she continued talking. It continued on like this for many minutes. "And don't get me started on the poor acting, sets, and costumes. The zipper was actually visible on the costumes. That's how poorly made the movie was Dipper."

"Uh Sis."

"And the story of the movie was so unoriginal. I mean it was obviously copied from another movie."

"Mabel."

"And now that I think about it, the lighting and sound were horrible. You should never mess those things up in a movie."

"Mabel!"

Mabel turned around at Dipper annoyed that he interrupted her. "What?!"

Dipper pointed a small bush that was in a dark shade of black. It was shaking as well as the large trees that stood over them with their leaves brushing each other. Now that Mabel noticed, they were in a oddly dark clearing surrounded by thick trees. It was also colder than she last remembered. The wind made her teeth chattered and wrapped herself with her arms seeking for warmth. And as far as she knew, the sun hadn't gone down yet. Something was definitely wrong.

"Mabel, what's going on?" Dipper asked as he too wrapped his arms around himself from the excruciating cold.

"I don't know," Mabel replied as she began to look for the source.

Her eyes traveled from the bush to the thick trees. She observed them looking for anything abnormal when she saw something. There in one of the bushy trees were two red eyes staring back at her. Mabel's eyes widen and she immediately took the journal out of her coat pocket. As soon as she did, the eyes turned even a darker shade of a red and a large growl echoed throughout the clearing. In reaction, Mabel closed her eyes and covered her ears as well as her brother. When she opened her eyes, she felt a gush of wind and there standing in front of her and Dipper was a large black dog like creature with sharp canine teeth and eyes the color of blood. Mabel stared at the dog-like creature in awe and fear for several seconds until she heard it speak in a toneless voice.

"I know this scent. You two are Pines."

Mabel gripped the journal even tighter as she brought it closer to her chest. "Who are you?! How do you know us?!"

Behind Mabel she could hear Dipper asking her what she was doing, but she ignored him trying to listen to the dog-like creature. She was curious. And when she was too intrigued by something, there was nothing that could stop her from asking even more questions until she found out what she wanted to find.

"I know a Pines when I see one, child. Lord Cipher alerted me of your presence."

"Mabel!" Dipper half shouted and half whispered to Mabel. Instead of ignoring him, Mabel told him to shut up and continued the conversation seeking even more information. Especially about Lord Cipher.

"Lord Cipher?" Mabel asked.

The dog-like creatures curled it's mouth into a wide grin showing it's deadly canine teeth at the twins. They glistened in the small shade of light revealing the small droplets of blood on them. In reaction at spotting the blood on the white teeth, Mabel took a step back. She did not like where the conversation was going.

"Lord Cipher is the ruler of this forest you two trespassed. Because of that, he has sent me... TO KILL YOU."

The dog-like creature lunged at the twins. Seeing this, Mabel pushed Dipper and herself out of the way falling onto the snowy ground filled with rocks while the creature hit a tree on impact. While Dipper scraped his knee and got a cut on his cheek from a razor-sharp rock, Mabel hit her nose resulting a bloody nose. As the twins sat up, they noticed the dog-like creature collecting itself from the fall. Mabel bit down on her cheek and hastily opened the journal flipping through pages. The journal was the only thing she could think of that could help them. As Mabel flipped through the pages in a rush, Dipper tugged Mabel's coat.

"Mabel, he's getting back up." Dipper said as he pointed at the dog-like creature. It was on the verge of getting up and shaking the snow off of it.

Mabel clenched her teeth. "Distract it Dipper. I have to find out what that thing is."

Dipper gulped and slowly nodded. He glanced around searching for anything to distract the creature when his eyes fell on the small rocks they fell on. He picked them up and gripped one rock tightly in his shaking white hand. He was scared, but he knew that as long as Mabel was there, he would be okay. So there should be no reason for him to be scared right?

Ignoring that thought, Dipper took a deep breath and threw a rock at the creature. As soon as it made contact with the creature's head, it growled and turned lightning fast at the twins taking off at them. Dipper jumped with shock and began to throw even more rocks at the creature. He knew they were useless, but it was the only thing he had that could slow the creature down a tiny bit.

As Dipper continued throwing rocks, Mabel flipped one last page before she found what she was looking for. It was the page about the dog-like creature with it's name, The Shadow Wraith, on the top.

Mabel smiled at what she found and glanced up at Dipper. "Dipper! I found it!" She began to read it. "The Shadow Wraith is a creature who takes orders for its master by delivering fierce powerful bites. If you see this creature, do not come in contact with it. If you do, PRAY FOR MERCY."

"What?!" Mabel asked. She scrolled down the page with her eyes rereading every word on it. "How is there nothing in here about it's weaknesses?!"

Dipper turned with a handful of rocks in his arms overhearing his sister. "What are we going to do then sis? Old dog breath here is getting really-..."

Dipper's face cringed mid sentence. He dropped the rocks and began to scream in agonizing pain as he shut his eyes tightly. Mabel widen her eyes as she looked down in slow motion. There biting on to Dipper's legs with its canine teeth was the Shadow Wraith gazing directly at Mabel with it's blood red eyes.

Seconds ticked by before Mabel went straight to action. Not even thinking, she grabbed a tree branch near her and whacked the Shadow Wraith hard on it's cheek with it resulting the branch to crack in half from the force of the hit. The Shadow Wraith yelped in pain from the whack on it's cheek and released Dipper from it's mouth jumping back. Mabel quickly caught Dipper as he fell backwards and cradled him in her arms. She started to check the bite realizing something was very wrong with Dipper. His skin was icy cold to her hands and he looked very pale. His breathing was becoming shallow and she could barely find his pulse.

"Dipper are you okay? Please answer me!" Mabel said almost in hysterics. She was really scared now. Scared at the fact that her brother was really hurt.

"Mabel..." She heard Dipper mumble just barely enough for her to hear. "I don't feel so good..."

Mabel bit her bottom lip and turned back at the Shadow Wraith glaring at it. "What did you do to him?!" She said with hate noticeable in her voice.

The Shadow Wraith grinned. "I poisoned him. He will die by in less than an hour. But before that, I want to make his last hour before death even more painful."

Mabel's eyes began to grow wet with tears as she glanced down at Dipper who was barely conscious now. She couldn't believe what the Shadow Wraith had just said. Dipper was poisoned? He was going to die by the next hour? Dipper, as in her twin brother who always annoyed her with his idea of fun but yet who she still loved, was going to die this awful way?

Mabel shook her head as tears gently slid down her cheeks not wanting to believe that. She clutched Dipper even tighter to her chest looking back at the Shadow Wraith. "Don't hurt him. He doesn't deserve this."

Below her, she could faintly hear Dipper saying her name. "M...Mabel..."

The Shadow Wraith tilted it's head at Mabel's words. "Fine..." It's eyes started to change a darker shade of red. "You can die first."

The Shadow Wraith lunged at Mabel with it's mouth wide open ready to bite Mabel. Hoping to buy herself some time, Mabel threw the one half of the branch she still had in her hand at the Shadow Wraith. The sharp end of the branch gouged itself in the creature's eye causing it to stop and roar in pain. It began twisting and turning struggling to get the branch out of it's eye with no success.

Realizing that the Shadow Wraith was too busy with it's eye now, Mabel quickly picked up Dipper along with the journal and dragged him with her into a large bush near them. Ignoring the sharp thorns pricking at her, Mabel continued to drag Dipper until they were out of it. The second they were out, Mabel glanced around her surroundings looking for anything to hide in. She needed to find a place to hide Dipper in. When she found a large gray rock covered with moss sitting over a small hole, Mabel hastily ran to it with Dipper and examine it. It was just big enough for Dipper to hide in comfortably. Mabel pulled Dipper into the small hole and placed him in there. After making sure no limbs were sticking out of it, she covered the opening with scented plants and thick green blades of ferns. Once she was finished with the work, she stood up wiping her sweaty hands on her pants. It was time for her to tell Dipper what she wanted to do.

"Dip, you're probably going to hate me, but I'm going to have to leave you here for now. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I find something that can help you."

Not long after she finished the last word in her last sentence, she heard a loud growl not too far away from her. Mabel cringed at how loud it was and wiped some of the tears off of her face taking out the journal. She had to do this for Dipper.

"Dipper, don't die on me okay? Just please don't die on me."

Mabel gave one last plead to Dipper before she turned running into the opposite direction from Dipper. As she ran, Mabel opened the journal flipping back to the page with the Shadow Wraith. "Come on..." She mumbled to herself as she ran reading the page to herself. "There has to be something in here about an antidote."

Behind Mabel, she could hear the Shadow Wraith running extremely fast. Mabel hastily devised a plan and headed for the bushes entering them crawling through them. They were not as thorny as the bush she went in with Dipper, but they still stung her skin. After going deep in the bush, Mabel set the journal down looking everywhere on it for the word 'antidote'. Just as she was about to give up on the page, she found it. The information was very tiny and was on the corner of the page in odd letters barely readable. But it was enough for Mabel to know how to save Dipper.

If someone were to get bitten by the Shadow Wraith, you only have an hour before the poison shuts down the immune system and cause immediate death. The only antidote for the poison is the dew from a nightshade flower. It is located in very few numbers in the Shadow Wraith's forest but multiply when death is in the air. Make the victim swallow the dew from the flower to stop the poison.

Next to the words on the page was a small sketch of a flower with thorns on it's stem. The center of the flower looked like something of a nightmare appearing in the shape of a mouth coated in red with the five petals surrounding it growing inward as if it were it's teeth. After memorizing the picture of the flower for several seconds, Mabel shut the book and placed it in her pocket. There was no time to waste. She had to find the flower.

Mabel crawled out of the forest and took off in a sprint. The flower was located by death. If so, she had to find something that was dead. But how could she find such a thing? Wouldn't the Shadow Wraith make sure to erase all traces of death?

As Mabel pondered over this, she started to notice an extremely pitiful odor in the air. Mabel covered her nose and held on to a tree next to almost wanting to vomit. The smell was too much for her. It smelled like something was rotting for too long like the meat her parents forgot about in the fridge that one time. Immediately after thinking this, Mabel's eyes widen. This had to be a joke right? The odor couldn't be coming from where she thought it was coming from?

Gathering all her courage, Mabel walked to the direction the odor was coming from. She wanted nothing more than to turn around, but she knew she couldn't. She had to be brave. At least for Dipper.

When Mabel saw the sight of decaying flesh meat on the ground, the vomit she was holding back ended up coming out on a patch of grass next to her. After vomiting, she closed her eyes and kneeled down begging for the corpse to not be a human. It took her a few minutes for her to open her eyes to look back at the corpse. To her surprise, it wasn't a human. It was an odd creature that looked like a human. Next to the corpse was nightshades growing in large quantities from the ground. Mabel took a deep breath, walked next to the corpse, and plucked one nightshade from the ground with her hands ignoring how much the thorny stem made her hand shake in pain. Dipper was hurting a lot more than her right now.

After placing the flower carefully in her coat, Mabel began to walk back to the bushes when she heard growling behind her. Mabel turned to see the Shadow Wraith glaring at her with a small part of the branch still gouged in it's eye. It roared in rage at Mabel baring it's teeth at her coated in saliva and blood.

"You will pay for what you did to my eye, child, with your life."

The Shadow Wraith snarled at Mabel and lunged at her. Mabel wasted no time to get out of the way. As soon as she hit the ground, she felt The Shadow Wraith pinned her down with it's paw. Mabel struggled as she grunted in pain. It couldn't end like this. She was so closed to saving Dipper.

As Mabel struggled, she heard the Shadow Wraith's breathing inced closer to her ear hearing it's toneless voice. "It is over child. I hate playing games with my prey. You will die."

Mabel bit her bottom lip and closed her eyes awaiting the inevitable. It was over. The Shadow Wraith was stronger and bigger than her. What could one little girl like her hope to accomplish? She was weak and often bullied for that. And now because of her being weak, Dipper was going to die. It was all her fault.

Seconds ticked by as Mabel waited for the cruel hand of death. Even when she knew she should fight, she didn't. She had given up, but a shrill growl woke something up inside of her. Mabel opened her eyes to see Dipper holding rocks glaring directly at the beast that was on top of her. Mabel was speechless seeing her brother. How could he be up? He was suppose to be unconscious and unable to move. But there he was standing having a hard time breathing ready to throw another rock at the Shadow Wraith.

Then something clicked inside of Mabel. Dipper hadn't given up yet. Even when he knew he was going to die in a few minutes, he was going to keep fighting. And so if that was the case, Mabel shouldn't give up either. Not when she still could move her body and fight.

Mabel grabbed the nearest rock near her and pounded it hard against the Shadow Wraith face causing it to roar once again in pain. It released Mabel from it's clutches allowing her to get up and run to Dipper. As soon as she felt his hand in hers, she grabbed some rocks from Dipper and both of them continued throwing rocks at the Shadow Wraith.

Each hit at the Shadow Wraith made it roar even louder in agonizing pain. After awhile, it stopped roaring and jumped on to a tree limb snarling at the twins. All throughout it's body was dark red spots with blood pouring out of it's damaged eye. It howled to the sky and glared at the twins. "You two will pay for what you have done to me. I will make sure of it that you both will."

After making the threat, the Shadow Wraith gave one last cry to the sky and disintegrated into red particles flowing into the sky disappearing. After waiting for a few minutes to see if it would come back, Mabel gave out a breath of relief and turned to Dipper who was sweating and barely able to stand. She helped him to the ground helping him lay on the soft blades of grass. While taking out the NightShade flower out of her coat pocket, Mabel smiled at Dipper.

"Thanks Dipper."

Dipper softly chuckled grunting in pain. Mabel took the pain as an alert that his time was almost up. She held the flower over Dipper's mouth that was wide opened. She knew he was struggling to breath. She shook the Nightshade and watched as one single droplet dropped from the petals to inside Dipper's mouth. As soon as it slid down his throat, Dipper erupted in a fit of coughs. Mabel quickly helped dipper up in a sitting position as she placed the flower down next to her.

It was going to be alright. She had given him the antidote, so there was no reason to be afraid. He was going to be okay. Mabel shed tears happily at that thought and placed Dipper back down on the ground. He had fallen unconscious, but already she could see the his color coming back on his face. Dipper really was going to be okay.

Mabel smiled and rubbed the tears off her face realizing something: she was really tired. Her limbs were aching and the cuts and bruises she had on her body were protesting at her. Mabel decided to ignore them as she turned to look for a way out of the forest trying to stand. She soon found out that was a big mistake as she fell on the ground next to Dipper in utter shock. Her body wasn't listening to her.

Mabel gritted her teeth as she tried to stand with no success. After a few minutes, she gave up and laid on the ground barely able to stay awake. She really was going to black out. She didn't even had a chance to get them out of the forest yet. Now there was a chance they could be finished off.

Mabel frowned at that thought as her heavy eyelids closed. "Sorry Dipper..." She whispered.

And everything went dark.

"Mabel..."

Mabel, in a deep sleep, yawned and ignored the hyperactive voice.

"Mabel."

Mabel tossed and turned now annoyed the familiar voice was still calling her. But she couldn't help but feel happy that she could hear the voice.

"Mabel!"

Okay, now Mabel wanted to tell the person to shut up. She opened her eyes and jumped up in a sitting position as her eyes readjusted to the light. She was on the bed in the room that Stan had given to her and Dipper which meant she was at the Mystery Museum. After thinking about this, Mabel turned her head to the left to see Dipper smiling at her with a big cheeky smile. Covering him were many bandages on his face and limbs. The most noticeable bandage was on his leg. It was decorated with Dipper's artwork. Mabel stared at the bandages as she tried to think over how he got them when certain events began to replay over and over inside her head. She shook as she watched the event of Dipper almost dying. Was he really alive?

Dipper frowned at his sister who looked like she was going to go in shock. It was time to tell Ford she was awake. Dipper placed his hands around his mouth and called out to Ford. "Great Uncle Ford! Mabel is awake!"

Outside, Mabel could hear footsteps for a few seconds followed by their door being opened by Ford. He walked in as he looked at Mabel taking note of her shaking. He took a few steps towards her bed and kneeled down at her height. "You need to calm down. You're safe now."

Mabel hugged herself as she tried to calm herself down taking deep breaths. It was okay. Dipper was okay. She was okay. They were alive and that was what mattered.

After Mabel had finally stopped shaking, questions began to pop in her head. How were they back in the Mystery Shack? She turned to Ford about to ask questions, but Ford spoke first already knowing what she was going to ask.

"Soos found you two. He was worried since you two were out a bit too long after dark."

Mabel nodded as she glanced down at her hands. Both of them were wrapped in white bandages. Most likely to protect the cuts she had gotten from the thorny bushes she had crawled through in from bacteria.

"I'm sorry that you two got hurt..." She heard Ford say as he looked away with a guilty expression. "It was my fault for not telling you what was out there."

Mabel shook her head at her uncle's words. "It's okay. We were able to make it out alive only because I found this journal that helped us. If I hadn't found it, then I don't know what would have happened." Mabel flinched as the thought of her brother dying due the poison. The journal was the only reason why she had been able to find the antidote for him.

Ford widen his eyes and quickly turned his head back at Mabel getting closer to her. "D-did you say a journal? What did it look like?"

Mabel tilted her head confused at Ford's reaction. "It... It was red and had a six fingered hand on the cover with a three on it."

Ford, shocked at what she had just said, placed his hands on Mabel's bandaged hands. "D-do you still have this journal?"

Mabel nodded slowly glancing at her coat which hung on the edge of the board of the bed. "It's in my coat pocket."

Ford turned his head at her coat and grabbed it slowly as if the coat was on fire. He dug his hand into the pocket gasping as soon as he felt the journal in his hands. He took the journal out of the coat pocket and stared at it in his hands. He just couldn't believe it. After thirty years, one of the journals was finally in his hands.

"Great Uncle Ford?"

Ford looked up to see Mabel and Dipper staring at him bewildered at what he did. Ford placed the journal on Mabel's bed as he awkwardly placed one of his hands on the cover. "The truth is... I wrote this journal."

"What?!" Exclaimed Mabel. "You wrote that journal?! Then... How come it was in that tree?"

Ford closed his eyes as memories started to replay in his head. He sighed and opened his eyes. "This journal as well as two others were stolen from me thirty years ago. I wrote these journals to document my findings of this rural town including the supernatural activity."

"Then... Then you're... They..." She smiled as she realized something. "You're an expert on the supernatural!"

Ford smiled a tiny bit as he placed one hands on each of Dipper and Mabel's shoulder. "I want to ask you two something. Can you help me find the other two journals?"

Mabel widen her eyes in shock at this questions. "Why us?" She asked.

"Because I've been searching for thirty years and not once was I able to get a trace on them. But you two found one of my journals on your first day here. It makes me wonder if you two can find the other two during the course of your stay here."

Mabel glanced at Dipper and he looked at her. He nodded with a smile which Mabel took as a yes. She smiled as she looked at Ford. "We'll do it."

Ford smiled as he released his hands from their shoulders. "Thank you." He grabbed the journal and gave it to Mabel. "Keep it. You'll need it more than me." After giving Mabel the journal, he stood up and walked out of the room leaving Mabel and Dipper alone in the room.

Mabel stared at the journal as she gently touched it with her hand. She couldn't believe it. Ford wrote this journal. He knew everything about the supernatural and weirdness at Gravity Falls. He was an expert and a person she could look up to. And so if he needed their help, she was going to help him. Even if it took their whole winter break. Because Ford was a person she felt she could trust. Especially when he researched what she loved to question.
