Mabel walked over to me and whispered, "Hey, isn't there something in the journal about 'The Tall Man'?" I nodded.

Danny noticed us talking to each other. "Is there something you guys aren't telling me?" He eyed us suspiciously.

"Haha! Of course not, silly!" Mabel laughed incoherently. "Yeah, I mean c'mon, do we look like we have a secret to you?" I laughed nervously. Sweat beads formed at my forehead. His eyebrows drooped to his eyes and he frowned.

"Yes." He said in monotone. I laughed.

"We'd better get to sleep." I turned around ignoring Danny.

To my, not so much, surprise, Mabel went up to Danny and said, "Do you have a place to stay?" She seemed kind of fond of him. He shook his head. "Dipper! He can stay with us, right?" She asked happily.

"Well, um, I mean there's really no place for him t-" I was cut off by Mabel. "GREAT! You can stay with us!" She hopped gleefully. I slumped in a pout. We don't even know him, I thought.

I led the way to the shack. "Home, sweet home." I said in a deadpan voice.

Danny walked off towards the Shack, with Mabel following closely behind him. She was asking a ton of questions; "Why is your hair white? Why do you have a ghost tail? Why do you fly?" I sighed in disbelief of my sister.

I started towards the shack when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I looked to the left and saw a man in the distance. "Hey! You lost?" I shouted towards him. He stopped and stared at me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood. His icy stare creep-ed me out. I couldn't see his face. I squinted to focus my stare. He backed into the woods and disappeared. I blinked in surprise and walked towards the Shack. That was weird. I said to myself.

I walked in and saw Mabel introducing Danny to everyone. I climbed up the stairs and took off my jacket and hat. I untied my shoes and kicked them off. I climbed into bed and tried to sleep.

That night I had a sleepless nightmare.

I awoke in a strange dark place. I sat up and everything went fuzzy. I grabbed my forehead. "Where am I?" I stood up slowly. I glanced all around to catch a glimpse of where I was, but I saw nothing. I walked for what seemed like hours before hearing a scream. I looked behind me. There was a path that wasn't there before. "Something weird is going on.." I rubbed my chin. I walked a little faster toward the scream. I felt like I was being watched, hunted. I started to run. My legs felt like jello and I started to stumble. I couldn't breathe. I stopped and hunched over for a breath. I heard someone coming up, but I didn't look. I saw two pairs of flats. "Oh, Mabel. You're okay!" I was still hunched over. She didn't answer me. "Mabel?" I looked up at her. She had a blank expression on her face. She didn't even blink. I shook her by the shoulders. She turned and gestured for me to follow her. She was walking fast. I almost had to run to catch up to her. She was disappearing from my sight. I ran as fast as I could, but she was getting farther and farther away. I stopped and screamed her name. I listened for anything. "Nothing." I sighed. I turned around and almost fell over. I saw three familiar faces staring back at me. They're pained looks tugged at my heart. What I had seen was the faces of my sister, Mabel, Grunkle Stan, and Soos hanging on a tree. I gasped shakily and backed up. I ran into something solid, like a tall body. I didn't want to turn, but curiosity got the better of me. I turned around slowly and saw a tall man standing behind me. He had six arms, two that reached all the way to the ground and four on his back like spider arms. He had no face, but I felt his cold stare burn deep into my soul. He lunged forward and everything went black.

"AAAAGGGHHH!" I bolted straight up in my bed and panted. I grabbed my heart. It raced.

Danny, Soos, and Mabel rushed into the room. "Are you okay, dude?" Soos asked.

"Y-yeah. Just a bad dream." I said. I got out of bed. They gasped. "What?" I looked at them.

"Look at your arm, Dipper!" Mabel covered her mouth. I looked down at my arm. "Ugh!" My arm was bleeding. Something was written. It said; "ALWAYS WATCHES."
