~nights pov~
That night I decided to go stretch my wings.
Stepping out of my room, I walked quickly down the hall to the door and put my hand on the knob, but stopped, listening to make sure that everyone was asleep.
When I felt completely sure that no one was up, I opened the door and stepped out into the warm night.
For the first time in the last two days, I could finally fly as much as I wanted.
Crouching down, I extended my wings and flapped down as hard as I could, quickly launching myself into the air.
I passed the twins window as I went up and I saw dipper sitting up trying to solve a what-the-heck-a-hedron, and saw mabel hanging off the side of her bed, totally asleep.
smiling to myself, I cartwheeled in the air above the shack and shot off towards the forest.
i flew high above the treeline, feeling the wind whipping against my face and hearing the noises of the forest down below.
suddenly, everything around me turned a monotone gray color. I stopped, hovering, and looked around for what...or who, I knew was coming.
my wings snapped closed as if somthing had forced them in, and I started falling down towards the ground.
with a low growl of annoyance, I snapped my fingers, making the darkness around me slip out from between the trees and transformed into a small hang glider for me to grab on to.
as I floated to the ground, I heard laughter echoing around me, and a certain evil triangle demon appeared in front of me.
"AH NIGHTS! HAVING FUN WITH YOUR LATE-NIGHT FLIGHT?"
I sneered at him ,"Well, I was until you showed up and tried to kill me."
He chuckled ,"LOOK, JUST BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO LOCK UP YOUR WINGS, MAKE YOU DROP MORE THAN 80 FEET, AND MAKE YOUR GLIDER DISSAPEAR DOSEN'T MEAN I TRY TO KILL YOU!"
,"Your always trying to...wait, what was that about- Ahhhhh!" The hang glider suddenly disappeared from around me and I fell the rest of the way down, landing on my back. ,"Ow! what was that for!?" as bill laughed, I sat up, rubbing my head, feeling something wet and slick in my hand. looking at it, I saw red blood covering my hand.
standing up, I licked the blood off my hand, then pointed at bill. ,"Why are you here anyway?"
,"YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT I'M HERE FOR." He floated down in front of me, narrowing his eye. ,"YOU HAVE WHAT I NEED TO BECOME TRULY POWERFUL AGAIN."
I opened my wings defensively,"Oh no, i'm not gonna do it. You're not gonna get my powers. You'd have to pry them from my cold dead paws!"
I turned wolf form and growled, narrowing my eyes. Suddenly I felt a pressure on the back of my neck and was forced to the ground. ,"THAT CAN BE ARRANGED MY DEAR DAUGHTER."
I started laughing and looked up at bill. ,"Not with how weak you are daddy." I flicked my tail and a shadow blast hit him square in the eye, making him yell out in pain and cover it.
The force holding me to the ground disappeared and I stood, getting up on my hind legs. ,"Face it, i'm too powerful for you. And again, you're not getting these powers." I laughed.
Bill turned red with rage and uncovered his watering eye.,"I WILL GET YOUR POWERS NIGHTS! AND I WILL DO IT BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! I MAY LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR NOW, BUT I WILL COME BACK, AND YOU WILL GIVE ME THOSE POWERS!"
A blinding flash of white light behind bill forced me to cover my face with my wings.
when the light disappeared, I uncovered my face and looked around, expecting bill to reappear out of nowhere.
something on the ground caught my eye and I looked down, seeing an inscription on the leaf strewn ground in front of me.
it read "L'G KDWH WR KXUW BRXU QHZ IULHQGV SLQH WUHH DQG VKRRWLQJ VWDU, EXW L ZLOO GR ZKDW L PXVW QLJKWV. BRX VKRXOG JLYH PH ZKDW L ZDQW EHIRUH L GR VRPBWKLQJ BRX'OO UHJUHW."
Quickly reading it, I automatically deciphered it as "I'D HATE TO HURT YOUR NEW FRIENDS PINE TREE AND SHOOTING STAR, BUT I WILL DO WHAT I MUST NIGHTS. YOU SHOULD GIVE ME WHAT I WANT BEFORE I DO SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET."
I grunted and turned my back to the message, flapping my wings a few times to hide the message under the leaves, then I walked off, my paws taking me back to the shack as I thought about bill and the twins.

The next few days had been filled with a lot of adventure and fun. Nights had developed a little bit of a crush on dipping sauce, and Mabel was now Nights' honorary secret keeper. Nights tried to not think about bill while she was messing with Dipper and Mabel, but he kept messing her up. Nights also thought that she needed to tell them about her powers and her sad, sad heritage and story. She knew would have to soon. She just didn't know how soon.
(timeskip bought to you by doctor who. Allonsy!)
~~dipper's pov~~
I was flipping through the journal rapidly, trying to find the weakness of the giant "cerberus" snake that Mabel, Nights, and I were currently fighting.
,"Dipper! did you find anything yet?" Mabel asked from above me.
I looked up and saw her launch her grappling hook into one of the monster's three heads.
,"No, not yet! I need a little more time!"
I frantically looked through the pages as Nights yelled ,"Hurry up dude! I'm having a tough time keeping this thing back!"
,"I'm trying Nights!" I yelled back at her, frustrated that I couldn't find what I was looking for.
suddenly I heard a loud hissing noise echo in my ears, and felt a pain in my left shoulder that made me drop the book and stagger backwards, grabbing it.
Nights saw me and with a concerned ,"Dipper!" She ran over, pausing only to kick away an attacking head.
I slid down the trunk of a tree behind me.
Nights kneeled down in front of me, staring at my shoulder ,"Jeez, it got you good didn't it." She muttered when she saw the blood streaming down my arm.
,"Nah, it's nothing Nights. It's just a little scratch." I said as I winced slightly.
She gave me a "Yeah right" look, and lifted my hand off of my shoulder.
I groaned and looked away as she did it.
,"It's nothing huh?" She scoffed as she looked at the large gash deep in my shoulder ,"Thank the gods that you weren't bit by the poisonous one."
Suddenly we heard a scream and looked up in time to see Mabel falling from the tree she was on.
Nights jumped up and ran over to her, managing to catch her before she hit the ground.
Nights put my sister down and then told her something that I couldn't hear. Mabel nodded, gave Nights the grappling hook, and ran over to me with a worried look in her eyes.
When Mabel got over to me, she started asking if I was ok, but I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy watching Nights.
With expert skills, she had climbed up the trunk of the tree, grabbing onto random branches and hauling herself up.
When she got up to a branch thick enough to hold her weight, she walked out onto it.
,"Nights, be careful!" Mabel yelled up to her.
Nights nodded, but didn't look at her.
She walked all the way to the end of the branch and then whistled, getting the snakes attention.
Suddenly realizing what she was about to do, I stood up. ,"No nights! Don't do it! It could kill you!"
She didn't listen to me, and let all three of the snake's heads attack her at once, flipping off the branch just before they smashed into it.
landing on the snake's back, she pulled on something and the snake reared, its mouths open as if there was something holding them open.
She yanked harder and the snake reared too far to keep its balance, falling backwards with a angry hiss.
,"Nights!" I jumped up and ran towards the monster, worried that it might have fallen on top of her.
,"Hey dip. you ok?" someone asked in my ear, making me jump.
,"Y-yeah i'm fine" I turned to her. ,"What about you?"
She smirked ,"doesn't matter. What matters is that you get that" she pointed at the still slightly bloody gash on my shoulder. ,"cleaned up and bandaged."
Just then Mabel ran over to us. ,"Omg nights! that was cray-cray! How'd you do that?!"
,"It's nothing. All I did was out think it. It's not that amazing."
Standing up, I looked at nights. ,"It's nothing? Really? That was not nothing. That was awesome!"
Nights blushed slightly and looked away. ,"Really, it was nothing. Come on, let's get back to the shack."
Mabel and I both agreed and followed her, Mabel grabbing the journal before we left.

Heyoo errbodeh!
Sorry bout how long its taking to get out these stories. There's like two or three reasons for this.
#1. I put this as my secondary writing site. my primary site would be quotev. I always put quotev first and foremost.
#2. There is a LOT of editing to be done. I copy and paste these chapters straight from the original copy, and since I was a much less experienced writer back when I first wrote this, I have to go back and fix every little mistake that I made.
#3. Simply the fact that I am a lazy f***.
Sooo, yeah. You're gonna have to bare with me. tank coo for understanding.
Un C-ya l8ter peeplez!
