Darkness. Her heart was racing as she gently rose on sore feet and shaking legs. Warm breath came in small puffs through parted lips as she wrapped her arms around herself, her hands grazing bare skin. She shut her eyes tightly, a small shiver wracking her fragile new body as she focused her energy on the last thing she could remember.

"You will reincarnate in the body you left behind. Even though you will look the same there will be differences. You control everything. You will learn as you go. Remember what Abel taught you and you will be fine. Now… close your eyes and take a deep breath."

"I love you Mabel. I'll be here when you return. Stay strong."

You control everything

Deep breath Mae.

In

Out

She felt a comforting warmth spread across her back and she shivered as something tore painlessly through her skin. It felt like a soft tingle, a smile gracing her lips as she felt the safe, heavenly presence around her. She wrapped her large wings around herself, the 15 feet or so able to envelope her entirely, a small happy flutter as she started walking.

Her eyes had adjusted to the low light and she drank in her surroundings, immediately knowing where she was. Deep in the woods in Gravity Falls Oregon. She couldn't help the smile that broke out on her face as she felt her heart skip a beat.

She gave her wings a tentative flap and rose slightly, her feet leaving the cool grass as the ground disappeared beneath her momentarily before landing again. She eyes the starry sky above her before making up her mind. This is the fastest way. She let her body do the work as she made her way above the trees, the wind ruffling her feathers. She spotted the shack immediately, a few miles east and began to fly.

She giggled in pure jubilation as she dove through the sky, the cold air hitting her rosey cheeks and ruffling her hair. She made it to the mystery shake in a matter of minutes and landed with a soft thump a few feet from the old building. She scanned the area, listening intently for any sign of life, only hearing soft breathing and slow heart beats. Perfect.

Although she was an angel she couldn't help the small embarrassment that lingered from her human life as she thought about her family seeing her body uncovered. Instead of entering in the front door and risk waking one of the homes inhabitants she favoured going through the attic window. There were three heart beats in the living room which meant Dipper was downstairs with Stan and Ford.

A mix of sadness and guilt nibbled at empty stomach at the sight of their room, left exactly the same as the day she left. Her wings retracted slowly into her body, her balance seeming off as she adjusted to their absence. Her feet moved silently across the floor as she grabbed her softest shooting star sweater and a pair of leggings, sliding them on and revealing in the warmth they provided before biting her lip in thought.

She focused her energy on the center of her body and imagined herself hovering a few feet above the ground. Although angels needed their wings to fly higher than a few feet and to go faster than a light jog they could still float if they so choose. Which is exactly what the small angel did, floating silently down the stairs and into the dark living room.

Her family lay asleep in the middle of the room, Stan and Ford resting comfortably against one another on the couch that used to be in Fords old room and Dipper curled up in Stans favorite armchair. She couldn't stop her heart from racing at the sight of them as she calm closer, resting her hand on Stans cheek. She frowned at his unkempt hair and the dark bags under his eyes. The stubble that was spread across Fords face far longer than the man was comfortable with.

Finally she found the courage to turn away from the pair on the couch and gave her unconscious other half. Her feet landed softly on the cold wood floor as she took a few steps towards him. Tears swelled in her eyes as she stared at her brother. Without a single noise she curled up in the chair beside him, snuggling her head on his shoulder and feeling his warm breathing against her skin. She closed her eyes and let her mind fall into a sleep like trance as she waited for morning to come.

I'm home Bro bro… just like I promised.
