As they walked Dipper started to get nervous. He took hold of Fosters hand and said "Foster we have to go back." She looked at him with a worried expressions and asked "what's the problem Dipper why are you so nervous". Dipper looked at her then looked down and said "when we get back I have a book I want to show you, but you have to be opened minded." Foster looked confused and stopped in her tracks. She grabbed Dippers face gently to look at her. When Dipper's eye's finally meet with hers she told him she had seen a lot of things. Dipper didn't understand what she meant by "things". But he thought it was better if he didn't ask.
As they started to turn around they heard a growl behind them. Foster had been taught growls by her Uncles. And this growl was like nothing she had ever heard. But she reached in the back of her pants to grab her knife. Dean would always say "carry one at all times, since you're a Dewitt every ones out to kill you." Foster was ready to turn around and stab what was ever behind them. Dipper grabbed her hand and said "Foster this could be a monster" she smiled at him and said "Dipper I kill monsters for a living…I'm not scared." As she turned around she looked all around with the knife in her hand. But nothing was there, then she heard something growl but it sounded like a ground animal she looked down expecting a Black Dog or a Banshee but nothing was there. She then got really scared because she knew exactly what it was. It was a Hell Hound, and she had only had minor knowledge on this thing. Because Uncle Dean hated talking about them. She knew if you put holy water on glasses you could see them. Or if you hit them with holy water they would burn but that was something that could slow them down. Foster's heart started to beat harder and harder her breathe started to shorten and she was ready to run. But last time her Uncles had delt with these guys the all went in a warehouse and one of the people in there group died. If they ran the would be chased and she didn't know if Dipper was fast enough. Foster always had to run morning and night. Her sleeping hours were messed up and her breathing was strong. She didn't want to run and leave Dipper there. So she turned around and grabbed Dipper's hand and asked "how far is the Mystery Shack from this exact spot." He looked at her with a confused face and said "why" she stared him dead in the eye and said "Dipper if you don't tell me there is a good chance we are going to die, so I need you to tell me and start walking as you talk." She could tell Dipper was getting scared and nervous. She looked at Dipper and said in a soothing voice "ok babe, I need you to close your eyes, and think of someone or something that makes you happy." Dipper thought of the first time he had kissed Foster and hugging Mabel that one last time. "Okay now you have to tell me how far away the Mystery Shack is" he then felt his legs start to move forward as she held his hand. He could tell she was acting calm for him because her hand was tensing up and squeezing his but she would calm down and try to make it so nothing was happening. He felt like he could answer and said "we're probably right down the street should take us 5 minutes to walk back." He felt her hand tense up and she said "alright Dipper, do you want to talk about what you're thinking about" He felt the speed of his walk turn into speed walking. The growling was intensifying. She started to get scared now it was like this Hell Hound was breathing on her neck. Dipper started to say "about our first kiss and Mabel hugging me." She smiled and said "alright good, now where's the holy water in the Mystery Shack." Dipper stopped asking questions and told her "Stan doesn't have any." "Okay..ummm…do you guys have any salt." Dipper with his eyes closed tightly said "It's in those Stan bobble heads he keeps them there so he can double them as shakers." "Okay Dipper I need you to do something when we get there run inside, shut the door and I'm going to climb the roof. Is there a latter or anything?" "yeah it's on the side, it's still up" Fosters hand started to squeeze his hard. "Ok Dipper I need you to go to your room and find my bag, in the lower right corner there is a secret zipper. In there you will find holy water and lots of salt. Anyone that is there tell them to go upstairs and stand all in a little bunch. Then grab the salt and make a circle around you guys and put the holy water and glasses in front of the window." "Okay" Dipper said as he started to open his eyes. Just about 100 feet ahead was the door to the Mystery Shack. Foster then said in a very calm voice "I'm going to let go of your hand now, and I'm going to head towards the latter do what I just told you." As Foster let go Dipper started to walk faster and he was close to the door. Foster was trying her hardest not to run, but she could hear this dogs paws right behind her. She could hear the breathing and she was getting tensed up. "Why isn't this thing attacking me right now?" Then it occurred to her why it wasn't. Her Uncle Sam had told her that if she acted like it wasn't there she had a certain amount of time to get what she needed. As she sped walked she could see the latter a couple of feet in front of her. She walked a little faster. She grabbed hold of the latter and went up it quickly. She then threw the latter down hoping it would hit the dog. She looked at the window and Dipper was just now opening her bag. He grabbed the salt, glasses, and holy water. He then made a circle around Mabel, Stan, and Soos. He ran out of the circle and put the glasses and holy water at the window. He then unlatched the window and opened it. As he opened it Foster grabbed his face and kissed him not knowing if it would be her last time. She then looked at the circle to see if anyone saw. Stan was busy counting money, Mabel hugging Waddles and Soos playing with his shoes. She then looked at him and said "Dipper Pines in this short time knowing you I fell in love with you. I don't know why or how I did, I just did and I want you to know…"Dipper grabbed her face and kissed her and said "I'll see you for that movie after you kill this thing." All of a sudden there was a loud bang in the Mystery Shack Gift Shop. Foster grabbed the glasses and put holy water on them and her knife. She put on the glasses and said "Dipper when I close this door shove as much stuff as you can against the door." Dipper nodded in agreement. Foster looked one last time at Dipper and nodded at him. She then opened the door and closed it softly. Then she heard something banging behind the door and she knew Dipper was doing what she had said. Foster looked at the door and knew that was no longer a place she could go. She started to make the least noise she could. She walked into the Kitchen and looked around. Fosters heart started to beat hard. Her chest started to collapse within her. And her breathe shortened. She then heard scratches at the door leading to the Mystery Shack and she ran to the other side of the Kitchen getting closer to the door. She then waited and took a deep breath and said "Something stupid." She then saw wood fly and she could hear the growls. She waited in till it was just between the wall she closed her eyes and then said "I love you Dipper Pines." She then saw a black dog with red eyes and as she went to stab it, it used it's paw to push her. She got up and ran at it, it ran at her and soon she was scratched right under her eye. She then hid and the dog couldn't find her. She waited in till it passed where she was and she came quietly behind it. She then raised the knife and stabbed it right in the back. When she did the dog had started to whimper she took the knife out and stabbed it again. Black blood was oozing out and splattering on her face. The dog then had enough time to scratch her arm and die. It then went into a type of black cloud and it disappeared. Foster fell to her knees and fell back and started to scream the cut was deep. And it burned like someone had set fire to her arm. She the screamed for Dipper and she heard the door start to open. She then started to pass out, before she knew it Dipper was holding her in his arms. Asking if she was still alive sobbing she grabbed his face and said "I'm still here babe, I need you to grab the holy water and drench the scratches with it." She then felt herself on the ground. She smile and slowly closed her eyes.
As Foster slipped away she started to dream. But this dream was like no other it was Dipper. But Dipper was in a house and it was on fire. She ran to the house and started screaming his name and kicking at the door. She was trying to break the windows but the house wouldn't break. She then went to the window where Dipper was and put her face to the window. She then put her hand up and on the other side Dipper was doing the same.
Foster was starting to wake up and she could feel someone shaking her. Saying "I'm right here, I love you, I'm right here, I love you". Whoever was saying this was crying and they were continually saying I'm right here, I love you. Foster couldn't see anything but she put her hand out and touched something, it felt like a face. She then said " I'm here, I love you." She then slipped away again. But when she did she was in the same place she was before in the dream. But this time Dipper wasn't in the house it was her Uncles. She hit the door hard and she was shoving her elbow in every window she could. She was screaming there names and hitting the windows harder. The window finally broke but a shard of glass went into her arm. She didn't care she jumped in the house and tried to move her Uncles. But they wouldn't budge she the fell at there knees and started to cry. She was seeing them die and then she got up and hugged them. She cried while hugging them and closed her eyes. She let the flame eat them and then Foster woke up.
Fosters face was sweaty and she was pale. Dipper was holding her still saying "I'm right here, I love you." She grabbed his face and said "I'm here and I love you too." He grabbed her and kissed her. Tears still streaming down his face she looked at him and wiped his tears. He was still holding her and he said "welcome back to the land of the living" and started to laugh. She laughed but her happiness was short lived because her arm was still burning. She then told Dipper to get the holy water and give it to her. He put her down gently and grabbed the bottle of holy water. She then told him to grab bandages and a towel. He did what she asked and Foster started to get up. She put the towel in her mouth and walked slowly to the sink. Dipper didn't know what to do so he watched her. She then uncapped the holy water and started to pour a lot on her arm scratch. She screamed and bit the towel. She then started to bandage up her arm but she was still screaming. She could feel the sting it was burning. It felt like a thousand bees stinging her and her arm was on fire. She then put her face in the sink and grabbed the holy water. She shut her right eye and poured the holy water. This time she didn't scream. But it did sound like a whimper and she was hurting. She then grabbed a huge Band-Aid and rubbed it on her face. She took the towel out of her mouth and asked Dipper to walk her to a bed. He grabbed her and took her upstairs. She laid down in bed and soon Dipper was in the bed too holding her. She put her ear to his chest and heard his heartbeat. As she listened to the beat she fell asleep.
