Hey guys. I made a long...er chapter today for the nightmare realm. What is the nightmare realm like? Will Mabel give up? Will she survive? Dun dun dun. So now that that is over with, the story!
But the amazing ride came to an end, and Mabel steadied herself on the old, rusty railroad tracks.
Why are there railroad tracks here and no where else? she thought.
She looked to her right and left. There were two boarded up tunnels. The one on her left should be the entrance.
She walked up to the wood and kicked it. Since it was old, and almost dust, it fell right off. All she saw beyond it was darkness. Was this "the amazing portal to the terrifying nightmare realm"?
But when she looked closer, she saw a little purple dot of light. How would she go through that? Suddenly, it began expanding.
The light got bigger and bigger until it was a swirling purple light as big as the doorway. This had to be the portal. It was time to go.
Suddenly, she had second thoughts.
Should she really do this? She was about to go to a NIGHTMARE REALM ruled by BILL CIPHER. Besides, Dipper wouldn't want her in danger. Isn't that why he let Bill take him in the first place?
No. She would go. She would save her brother. She would defeat Bill Cipher. Even if it was the last thing she did.
She walked through the light, and into the nightmare realm.
...
The pain began almost immediately. The portal was like a million needles being pushed into her skin, along with the sensation of an electric shock. She wanted to give up right then and there, but she forced herself through. She had to keep moving.
After surviving the portal, she came out into...she didn't really know what. All she saw was black and red. Suddenly everything became clear.
It was all empty. There were a few dead trees. The grass looked as if it had recently been on fire. The sky was red and black, the land was dreary, and just the sight of it made her want to give up. And there was a swingset with one broken swing.
She sat on the one that wasn't broken and began to think. How would she find Bill? Should she summon him? Now she regreted not taking all the journals. If she just wandered around, she could get hopelessly lost, and never get back.
She was at a major loss. She had no idea what to do. Had she come all this way for nothing?
A cold breeze whipped past, blowing her hair in her face. As soon as it stopped, she heard something.
"The two pine trees..."
"Who was that?"
No answer. It must have been in her head.
"The two pines trees..."
Mabel's head snapped up. In front of her she saw two dead pine trees. But, what? Their leaves suddenly became green again.
She assumed she had to go that way.
As soon as she walked through the two trees, everything seemed to brighten a bit. Both the earth and the sky. But it was only the beginning.
...
She must have been walking for years. Even though it was only two hours. She had seen NOTHING but dead grass and gray sky.
Suddenly, she heard a low whistling sound in the wind.
"Nightmares," it seemed to say, "Nightmares."
Suddenly, she felt it. She had turned ugly and green. When she said, "What?" he voice was weird and gruff. She had lost her cuteness, like when they were in Stan's mind. Bill had made their nightmares come to life, and one of hers was losing her cuteness. Was the same thing happening on the nightmare realm?
Whatever, she thought. She didn't care about how she looked. All she cared about was saving her brother.
Suddenly, she was back to normal. That was weird, she thought. She decided to ignore it and keep going.
The wind suddenly became a bit warmer, and it blew north, so it pushed her along, as if encouraging her.
Suddenly, fog began to drift around. A lake began to form in front of her. What was going on? It was amazing. The lake looked so real. She saw some people near it. Who were they? When she got a closer look, she realized who they were.
They were her lost loves.
She saw them. Several Timez, Norman, Gabe, and Mermando. Her first kiss.
"Hello?"
They all turned toward her. There bright smiles suddenly faded at the sight of her.
"It's..It's me. Mabel. You remember..."
They nust stared at her. One by one they turned away. All except Mermando.
"You love me, right? You only married the queen of manatees because you were forced too, right?"
His face looked blank, almost as if he were dissapointed in her. He turned away. Her heart broke. Would she ever find love?
No. She couldn't think about that. She didn't need them. She needed Dipper.
Suddenly they disappeared.
"What the?"
She looked around. They were gone. She saw nothing but wide open dead-grass field. Except for a tiny black dot in the distance that she hadn't noticed before. How did that get there?
Then it clicked in her head. The nightmare realm was playing with her mind. It made her nightmares come alive. Whenever she forgot about them, or overcame them, they disappeared. She had overcome two nightmares, losing her cuteness and never finding love. The only way to get through the nightmare realm, was to overcome her nightmares. The black dot must be what she had to look for. She kept walking.
She just hoped that her other nightmares weren't that bad.
What'd you think? What are Mabel's other nightmares? What is the black dot in the distance? Why am I asking so many questions? To be answered next chapter!
