Music for this Chapter Kuchizuke - BUCK-TICK. the first opening song to Shiki.
Inside the hidden room
The Demonic Couple statue lays broken on the Northwest Manor floor as two orbs of demonic light floated out of the busted statue, and take on a ghostly form of their previous life in a shadowy fog image.
"Yes! At last my love, we are free!" "Oh how glorious it is, my darling!" The two demons held each other and kissed for the first time in one billion years, but it didn't last long, for they did not feel any heat from their bodies only cold air. "My darling, your... we're..." "Dead." He clench his clawed hands tightly in anger, but then realize that they're still here "But not our souls."
Indeed. Their bodies are dead but their spirit souls are still alive. Looking around the hidden storage room the demon couples found two small kids laying on the floor, they must have hit their heads hard when they fell in here.
"What a perfect coincidence, my love." The Demon turns to his beloved mate, and said "You and I know what we have to do to live." "Of course, my darling." without any hesitation, the demons flew into the bodies of Dipper and Pacifica. Once they were inside, Dipper's and Pacifica's eyes shot open glowing in yellow and violet, the power of their demonic energy bust throughout their bodies making them grunt and groan in agonizing pain. The seal symbol of demon summon and banish graved itself onto their backs, as dark markings forms around their eyes if they look closely it'll be almost looks like eye shadow was applied onto them.
Once the binding is finish, both Dipper's and Pacifica's eyes return to normal and looked around the room they were in, Dipper got up but a slight pain hit his head believing it was from hitting his head on the floor or something "Ahh... What is this place?" Pacifica move some of her hair out her sight "That's weird. I don't even know where this room is."
Dipper and Pacifica picked themselves up and started to walk around the room trying to find something useful on the ghost or another way out. "Hopefully the ghost doesn't either." said Dipper, and Pacifica replies "Yeah, maybe we're safe."
But they weren't. The sheet covering a large portrait behind Pacifica came to life, as if it wanted to eat her alive. Thankfully, Dipper saw what was happening at that very moment "Pacifica, Watch out!'My Love!'" 'Wait, what did I say?' Pacifica turned and saw the Ghost trying to attack her from behind, She let out a scream and ran for her life knocking over a few storage boxes in the processes "YOUR FATE IS SEALED!"
Dipper ran to help her, and found the one thing that can trap a ghost from a hunting painting. "A Silver Mirror." As Pacifica tries to run only to trip herself up by her long dress, she backed away from the Ghost as he raises his ax to kill her where she stands. "PREPARE TO DIE, NORTHWEST!" he hollers.
Pacifica was paralyzed with fear she desperately cried "'My Darling!' Dipper! Help!" 'Wha-what was that?' Fearing that this was the end, she was about to close her eyes when Dipper ran in front of her with the mirror in his hand.
The force of the impact was so strong, it knock Dipper and Pacifica out of the window rolling down into the garden lawns entangled by the window drapes, and landing almost on top of each other. Shaking out of their dizziness and untangling themselves from the drapes, Pacifica looks over to Dipper and ask "Did you get him?"
He raise the mirror to see the ghost banging on the mirror from the inside, "NO! FREE ME!" he cried. Dipper and Pacifica were shock with relief and joy, so much that they hug each other and nearly kiss one another if they hadn't realize what they were doing the last second.
The two quickly turned away from each other and avoid making any eye contact, Pacifica pulls out a twenty dollar bill and said "Can I pay you to pretend that never happened?" Dipper pocket the money away, as the two went to find Pacifica's parents. But a worried thought came to them. 'Is there any other ghosts here in the mansion too?'
Time Skip
It only took two minutes and thirty seconds to find Preston and Pricilla Northwest. Thanking Dipper for everything, even though the hand he was shaking was their butler and not the master of the house. Still, they congratulated him.
After Mr. and Mrs. Northwest left, Dipper was about to walk away when Pacifica said "Wait, leaving already? You're at the world's best party, dummy. 'Don't you wanna have some late night fun?'" she said the last sentence flirtingly, only to cover her mouth a second later.
Dipper was a little thrown off on that last part, but replied "Heh, I'd love to stay, but I've got a Category 10 ghost to dispose of. 'But afterwards, I would love to spend sometime with you in a room together.'" It was Dipper's turn to cover is mouth. The two kids only look at each other in shock.
"Pacifica... Is there, more than one ghost in your family's mansion?" Dipper asked slowly, Pacifica only shock her head "No, I don't think so."
Neither of them want to speak more about it, but they need to know just what they are dealing with. "MY CURSE IS NOT BROKEN YET, NORTHWEST! UNLESS YOU OPEN THE GATES TO THE TOWN! NO ONE WILL LIVE ON TOMARROW!" said the Ghost, startling the two of them, they both look into the mirror as the ghost continues his hunting curse. The ghost started to explain everything about how the Northwest ancestors ask him and his lumberjack folks to build their mansion and that they will have a grand party that they will share with the bounty for the service to the town. But when they mansion was finish after many back breaking labor and sacrifice, the Northwest locked them out of the party and with the trees gone the mudslides came, he died that night and place a curse on the Northwest that if the gates are not open within 150 years their blood will stain the ground.
Dipper turns to Pacifica and said "You knew this, and you hired me just to do your dirty work!? You could have just open the gates and this whole mess would have been avoided! I was right about you, you're just as bad as your parents. Another link in the world's worst chain."
Pacifica felt her lip quiver and tears forming in her eyes, "I'm so sorry! They made me, I should have told you the truth, but I was too afraid of what my parents would do to me if I disobey them!" She sob as she ran away, Dipper just stood there stun at Pacifica's confession. With nothing else to but to exorcise the ghost and try to talk to Pacifica.
Time Skip
Finding a clear area a little ways away from the party, Dipper set everything up to exorcise the ghost. "Exodus demonus, spookus scarus, aintafraidus noghostus-" Dipper begins his chanting when the ghost interrupted "Dipper, Dipper! Please let me get my vengeance on the Northwests! You hate them as much as I."
Dipper spoke "Hey, I feel you. It's just, my sister's in there, and you seem a little unstable, man." and made a hand sign for 'so-so' on the "little unstable" part. The ghost see to understand Dipper's reasons as he said his last request "Very well, boy. Then... before you banish my soul, may these tired lumber eyes gaze upon the trees one final time?"
Not seeing any harm on that request, Dipper grab the mirror and show the ghost the trees. "Uh... I guess. Go nuts, man." the ghost let out a cackle and that cackle grew more menacing as the mirror began to glow red. Dipper dropped the mirror and hiss out in pain, the mirror broke into hundreds of shards freeing the ghost entirely. "Yes! VENGEANCE!" he yelled as he flew back into the Northwest Manor.
Dipper couldn't believe what had just happened, he never felt so much anger running through his entire body. But that anger soon changed into fear, fear for a certain blond girl and his sister. "Oh no, Pacifica! 'My love!" Dipper tried to say 'Mabel' but another voice overlapped his own voice. 'Just what is going on here?' Dipper thought.
Back at the Party
So, Mabel and Candy's plan didn't go so well, the girls were literally fighting over who gets to flirt with him, Grenda saw what they were doing and was furious with them. She thought that they wont let her flirt with boys because she stays true to herself and to be herself, and that's what she did, Grenda flirted with Marius her own way. And Marius seem to find that... very impressive.
Soon, all of the guest stopped talking when Preston tap his glass and announces a Toste to their family name. Only to have all of the glass ware shattered and the hunting of the ghost cackle echo throughout the main ballroom, " GENERATIONS LOCKED AWAY, MY REVENGE SHALL HAVE ITS DAY!" The ghost cried out.
The old mayor didn't think much of it and only said "Ah, the grim reaper! I'd been wondering when you would arri-" Only to be cut off by a blue beam hitting the old man and turned him into wood.
The guest and the staffs ran in fright as the ghost shots more beams at everyone and brought the stuffed trophy animals to life and have them attack everyone. Pricilla was hyperventilating and her hair was sticking out making her beauty look less beautiful, despite this she ask "Preston, what are we going to do?!" her husband only said, "Prepare the panic room." and back punch a trophy squirrel off of his shoulder. Not caring what would happen to everyone else as long as they were alive and have their money.
The doors burst open, Dipper stood in the doorway watching the madness that has befall upon everyone, a guest crawls over to Dipper begging him to help him but he too fell victim into becoming wood.
Dipper jump back and yelled "Whoa, that is messed up!" The ghost laugh at all of his victims posing wooden statues, the ghost didn't notice that Dipper came in as he spoke with glee "JUST ONE WAY TO CHANGE YOUR FATES: A NORTHWEST MUST OPEN THE PARTY GATES!"
Just by hearing the ghost's own words, Dipper knew what needs to be done. "I need to find Pacifica." And he had a feeling he knows where to find her.
My third Chapter is done, I hope all of you are well entertained with my story.
I will admit, I had a writer's block for a while and it through me off so much that I might had to change the entire story line that I had originally had. Thankfully I didn't need to.
Well see ya next time
