Dipper ran down the corridor, looking at each painting for half a second and grimacing at how bad they were.

All of a sudden, there was a loud stomp from somewhere behind him. While looking at one painting, he noticed a flash of green, purple and red. Glancing behind him, he saw the thing galloping after him, tarnishing the carpet and shaking the whole building.

He quickly picked up a vase from a small desk and threw it behind him. The creature jumped up and smashed it between its teeth. Unfortunately for the Hunter, when it landed, it drifted and had its tail smashed into the wall. It took a good ten seconds for it to be pulled out of the wall.

By that time, Dipper had run into the dining hall and leapt under a table. It swung around and lumbered into the hall, smelling the air. It seemed it could handle a small amount of light: like candlelight, which made it flinch but didn't hurt it.

He had no lights on him, so he had no surefire way to escape. He sat there, quivering in fear.

"I caN sMEll yOu PInEs." It growled. "YoU wILL nEvER eSCaPe, I wON't LeT yoU."

Dipper heard a table or two be crushed, and others get flung across the room.

"YOU WON'T LEAVE HERE ALIVE!" It roared.

Meanwhile...

Wendy sprinted through corridor after corridor, and eventually came across a staircase. She leapt over a staircase and stumbled up the stairs. There was a shriek in a room behind her, which sounded very girly.

She picked the room she thought it came from and burst through the door. Pacifica's mum sat there, looking around in terror.

"Pacifica, come out, it isn't the monster. Well I beg to differ but-" She was cut off by her daughter jumping out of the wardrobe and walked over to Wendy.

"So, how did you get it to leave?" She asked. Wendy looked at her in confusion. "It was outside this room, how did you get it to leave?" Pacifica repeated. Wendy blinked rapidly. "I thought it was following me!" Wendy responded. Pacifica and Wendy looked at each other in confusion. "Wait, if it's not following me or you, then who is it chasing?" Pacifica asked. "DIPPER!" They both yelled in unison.

"Honey, where are you going?" Pacifica's mum asked.

"Ugh. Places mum!" She yelled.

"Be careful honey!" Her mum shouted back.

During that period of time…

"pIneS, iF yOU thINk tHIs enDS wEll fOr yOu, yOU'Re grAVelY miStAKen."

Dipper saw the remaining two tables be destroyed and gulped. The Hunter stalked towards the last one.

"dIPPer PiNEs. PoOr DiPPeR piNeS. HiDe."

It ripped the table off of the floor to see nothing. It flicked its head around. Dipper had quickly climbed up an old pipe and jumped onto one of the chandeliers.

"HIDE!" It roared and smashed its head into the wall. Glancing up, it saw a sweaty, adolescent boy trying to make his way towards a vent. "HIDE!" It roared again.

"GEt DowN hERe PinEs!"

He sped up in his climb and slipped. Wendy and Pacifica burst into the room just as Dipper hit the floor. They both gasped. "DIP!" Wendy yelled. She tried to run over but got knocked away by the monster.

Pacifica tried to pull out her torch, but the Hunter batted her away like a fly to a swatter. Dipper saw the dim light fading away as he lost consciousness. Just as he was losing grip, he saw a face loom over him and say,

"hide."

and then he faded away.

Wendy tried to stop the creature from taking Dipper with all her might. She swung her other axe but her vision blurred. Pacifica tried to get up and stop the thing but her eyes seemed to stop working and she fell over.

Wendy and Pacifica watched in despair Hunter lumbered away, Dipper between its jaws. Almost as soon soon as it left, Wendy and Pacifica went back to normal and stood up.

"Dipper. It took Dipper." Wendy panted.

"He's really gone." Pacifica replied.

1 hour later…

Back at the S'hack, Mabel danced around, waiting for Dipper to get back from his "date" with Pacifica. Wendy and Pacifica burst into the S'hack panting.

"Hey guys! How was your date with Dippy, Paz?"

Pacifica walked over to Mabel and just burst into tears. Mabel patted her back, and looked at Wendy, confused.

"It took. Dipper. Hunter. Gone." Wendy barely said.

Mabel replied, "huh?"

"THE HUNTER TOOK DIPPER!" Wendy suddenly yelled.

Mabel looked at her in shock, before yelling,

"WHAT!?"
