A/N Hiya! Here's chapter 4 of the story! I thank Snake for the editing part.
Journal entry 23 Book 3
Through my investigations I have noticed that Gravity Falls has unusual weather patterns that occur only at night and without any warning. I have already been trapped in strong winds that I have measured to hit fifty miles per hour and powerful rain storms that drenched the forest ground I walked on, and most of my equipment.
It seems that there is a powerful force controlling these woods. This "force" does not seem to want anyone to explore this forest. Yet, my sister and I will find what is causing these anomalies. Tomorrow we will start our search in the morning and continue until sunset. Then we will return to our home to weather the night.
Reader, remember to be careful if you are traveling at night. When the dark clouds roll in, you must hunker down to not be blown away or worse. Make sure that you do not go in alone; these unusual weather patterns are one of the many secrets hidden in the Gravity Falls Forest and those caught in their path never return.
Gravity Falls Forest, Dipper and Mabel
It's a somber night, not unusual for Gravity Falls. The large animals have gone to sleep, while the small ones run wild. Campfires from people brave enough to go through the forest at night illuminate a few forest clearings.
Legends surround this place; about strange creatures and those willing to find them, about children wandering off never to be seen again, and about a force so great and unknown that the townspeople don't speak of it, but they know of its existence. They keep it hidden to visitors and the prying eyes of the world to protect it and to protect themselves from those who desire the secret. For they know, if they protect the forest, it will protect them.
Dipper and Mabel are still walking towards the Gremloblin's Cave. It has been about 14 hours since they first left the Mystery Shack and Twilight streaks across the sky once again.
"Mabel, this is a good place to stop and rest for the night. Clear, somewhat flat and well hidden. No one will find us here. Not even if someone follows the glitter trail you leave behind." Dipper pointed at the trail that ended at Mabel's feet. Mabel replied, "Ok Dipper, I'll go get some firewood with Waddles while you set up the tent." Dipper nodded and the both of them dropped their bags before going to do their jobs.
Dipper grabbed the tent out of his bag, along with the instructions on how to set it up. "Now then... How the heck am I going to pitch this tent?" He opened up the instruction manual. "Hmm. Disney's camping video with Goofy is simpler than these instructions. I wish dad took us camping more." He flipped through the pages of confusing text before finding pages filled with diagrams. "Let's see... Yeah, these are clearer. " Dipper thought to himself, "Finally, now I can pitch the tent."
Dipper unfolded the bag then tent was in and started putting it up.
Meanwhile...
"Come on Waddles. Let's get some wood for fire." Waddles oinked in fear. "Don't worry Waddles, we aren't making bacon out of you." Waddles oinked twice in relief.
Mabel started picking up random sticks off the forest ground. Waddles did the same except with his mouth. "Let's go Waddles, it's almost dark." Mabel lifted her head up and began walking towards camp.
Waddles however, stayed and stared into the distance behind Mabel. "Waddles? What's wrong?" The pig oinked in fear and motioned for Mabel to look into the distance. "What?" Mabel looked into the distance. "It can't be. They've found us!" She noticed several lights walking around the forest. "Come on Waddles we have to warn Dipper!" Mabel turned and started running.
"Wait! Help me!" A voice cried out behind Mabel. "Who are you?" The voice cried out once more, "Please! Help! They're after me!" "Pacifica?" Mabel watched as the girl in the purple, torn jacket ran at her and fell into her arms. "Please, Mabel help me."
Mabel had no idea what to do with girl in her arms, for a second at least.
Mabel dropped her arms and let Pacifica fall to the ground. "Mabel?" Mabel looked away from Pacifica before answering, "You insult and hurt me, you turn my friends against me and inject fear into all you touch, and you expect me to help you!" Pacifica was surprised by Mabel's denial.
"But Mabel..." Mabel quickly snapped at her, "But what Pacifica? Nothing you can say will get me to help you." Mabel turned back around and kicked some snow into Pacifica's face. "Go away bitch. I won't help you, go find someone else." Mabel turned around once more and began walking away.
Waddles walked up Pacifica and just stared into her eyes. "And who are you?" Pacifica asked the confused-looking pig, who promptly licked her like a dog. "Pacifica had no idea what to think.
"Waddles! Come on!" Mabel cried out and Waddles turned and ran at her voice.
A few moments later...
"I'm back Dipper." Mabel walked back into the clearing they found earlier carrying the firewood. She threw the wood in the center of the camp.
"OK Mabel, I'll start the fire. Rest up, I'll wake you when it's time to eat." Mabel nodded and walked into the tent."
"Hmm, to start a fire rub two sticks together and make a spark, simple enough." Dipper put one stick on the pile of sticks and started rubbing it trying to start a fire.
10 Minutes Later
Dipper is still rubbing the stick. "Darn it! Why isn't it working?" Dipper stopped rubbing the sticks before falling over in exhaustion. "I'll rest for a second, then I'll try again." Dipper was breathing heavily and was tired.
*Rustle, rustle* Dipper heard something in the bushes. "What is that?" *Pant, pant* It was coming closer. Dipper tiredly got up and walked closer to the bushes. "Who are you?" Dipper fearfully asked. "Please, help me! They're after me!" Then Dipper saw the girl run out of the bushes and fall into his arms.
"Pa-Pa-Pacifica?" Dipper couldn't believe who he was holding in his arms.
"Hey Dipper..." She muttered before passing out.
Dipper held the unconscious girl in his arms. Not letting her go. "Pacifica..." Dipper knew Mabel wouldn't approve of what he was going to do, but what else could he do?
He carefully put Pacifica on the ground before going into the tent. He quietly went inside, making sure not to wake Mabel.
Dipper grabbed his camping bag and went outside. He said, "OK Pacifica, I know Mabel won't like me doing this but, I can't just leave you to freeze in the cold." As if Pacifica was still awake and knew what he was doing.
He quietly took out his sleeping bag, opened it up, took Pacifica's bag off her back, and slipped her inside of the sleeping bag. Then he zippered it shut and started going through the bag.
"Let's see, is there anything I can use in here?" He began going through the pockets before finding exactly what he needed. "A lighter! This is just what I needed!" He dropped the bag and ran over to the pile of wood before lighting the fire and sitting down in front of it. "Now I have to warm up the food." He thought to himself before looking at Pacifica, "I wonder what happened to Pacifica. She's in bad shape."
12 hours ago, Gravity Falls Forest, Pacifica Northwest
"I have to get to them. I just have to!" Pacifica is running through the forest following the glitter trail Mabel left behind.
She was very close to them earlier; close enough to actually touch them. But she couldn't keep up. She grew tired quickly. It was past her bedtime, the result of always getting a good night sleep, and always sleeping at the same time.
She found a hollow tree a along the way and decided to sleep in it for the rest of the night. She knew that she couldn't stay for too long. She unpacked her sleeping bag and covered the entrance with it. "Hopefully no one will notice." She leaned on the tree and uncomfortably went to sleep.
A few hours later she woke to the sounds of the search parties calling for her. "Pacifica! Where are you?" Her dad was calling out to her at the head of the search party. "Oh crap, they're after me! Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit! I have to get out of here!" She quickly grabbed her bag and climbed out of the hollow tree.
She ran away from them. Rushing through the snow, clearing the forest ground in her wake.
"There she is! Go after her!" She was spotted, "I have to see Dipper and Mabel!" She sprinted faster through the snow.
"Grr, she's getting away!" Pacifica's dad screamed at the top of his lungs, "Men! Non-lethal force is authorized! Get my daughter!"
The men pulled out specially modified rifles. "Permission to engage granted. Complete the mission men." Pacifica's father stayed back and just watched as the squad ran after Pacifica. "I want her back. Godspeed men!"
Pacifica ran through the snow. A dart whizzed overhead. "What was that?" Pacifica was surprised at the incoming ordinance. "Bullets!" She panicked and trudged harder through the deepening snow.
"I have to get out of here!" Pacifica fell over, lucky her. A dart flew just above her head. "There she is! After her"
Soldiers started to flank and surround her. In desperation she got up and sprinted deeper into the forest, to the surprise of the search party.
"She's getting away! Tranquilizer her!" The order came and was executed. A few seconds later, tranquilizer darts started flying by Pacifica. "No! If I'm hit I won't be able to see Dipper and Mabel!"
She sprinted faster through the forest. Twilight streaked across the sky and the forest was getting dimmer.
Pacifica could still see the light from their search lights still coming after her. "I need help, anyone will do!" She saw two shadows walking in the distance.
"Wait! Help me! Please! They're after me!" Pacifica fell into the figure's arms. "Mabel..."
After Mabel's rejected Pacifica and cast her aside, Pacifica could barely run. She was too tired from running, tired from trying to escape, and tired from pushing on. She fell on her knees.
"Go on Pacifica! Don't let all your effort go to waste!" A voice cried out, "You can still see them! You can still show them the truth!" She got up, "Go!" Pacifica rushed forward with all her strength.
A dart flew through the air and just as Pacifica jumped into some bushes. "Please help me! They're after me!" She cried out.
"UGH!" She got hit in the butt and started losing consciousness as she fell through the bushes.
She fell over, out of the bushes and into Dipper's arms. "Dipper..." Was all she could say before she lost consciousness and Dipper began caring for her.
Dipper then...
Oh wait; I haven't introduced myself have I?
Well, I am the guardian of this place. The one who watches over this sacred paradise, the forest, my home. I watch over all beings that enter this forest. And I expel those who want to cause harm.
I have no name, but for your convenience you may call me Omega.
I have been telling this story and will tell it to its end. I have seen many wonderful things happen here, yet they have not lasted with me as long as this has. I share this story with you for this reason.
I say this to you, the readers, revenge will be the fuel to drive this story, and love will be what quenches it. This is why I have saved it as long as I have. It has been years since this has happened.
I feel so tired from telling this. It takes so much of my strength to speak to you.
Yet my tale is not finished. I still have a story to tell and I will go as long as I must to speak it. You need to know what happened, what led to this.
This is a message I have to all of you to use whenever you may need it: do not let hate blind you and allow you go blindly through danger.
