Gravity Falls OC - A Weird Town

Chapter 20 - Ruins

"Is it here?" I ask myself.

I've been going through the forest for over- let's say uh.. an hour or so... I might've gotten lost a few times. I was trying to find the area, the blue flame which probably hide some sort of mystery waiting to be found. 

It's already been a few days since we took over the Mystery Shack again from Gideon.

After the whole ordeal, we got to work on fixing it up, since Gideon decided to destroy the top part of the shack, which was the sign. Then.. after that day we partied and invited the whole town- which resulted in Dipper raising the dead. We had to clean that up also- it was not fun.. since there were a lot of beheaded- dead- zombies. 

Lots of work done, the few days.

Which all of that leads to now. I was trying to find the area for over an hour in the forest. I look up at the sky, it seems that it would take at least a few hours before it turns to night.

"How could I even find it now..." I look in front of me, thinking. "What happened that time anyway.."

It was somehow a blur, all I remember at the moment was- there was that feeling. That someone was trying to help me. I tried focusing, remembering what happened. That time when it happened, my senses heightened. How does that happen...? I have to find out.

Is it because I'm a half-dream demon, that- that feeling happened? Ugh... I should have asked Bill about this, but then again I can't really trust that one-eyed demon yet. So far I met him yesterday again, but it was short-lived as he left early. Though he made me practice levitating that night. That was all he wanted me to since I haven't really agreed to him yet.

Then- if so, the reason my senses heightened, was because I'm a half-dream demon... Then-.. How do I...?

I sat with my legs crossed, I crossed my eyes- hoping that something would click. Maybe it would give me an idea. I focused and focused. Seconds turned into minutes.

"My senses huh..." I whispered to myself. "My eyes..?" I said focusing on my eyes, just like last time I practiced with Bill, on how I focused my energy. Perhaps I'll just agree with him, next time I meet him.

I wondered if this was really working. I sighed, "Why am I even-.." I opened my eyes, to my surprise it's like last time. The dimly lit forest which was only lightened by the sun was finally lit up. Everything in my eyes, I could see. The senses on my sight heightened, it helped me focus more on my surroundings, I even focused on things that I didn't even bat an eye on before. 

I look around, finally finding the blue flames- it was distant, yet still visible. Without a second thought, I started running towards it. I don't really know how to control these kinds of powers. It's not something I could stop or start at my will yet. So I better hope I use it efficiently.

I ran and ran deeper towards the forest, even with the branches and stones that lie on the ground of the forest, I didn't even trip once. I ran for a few more seconds before I downgrade it into a light jog, still picking up my pace, but not enough to drain all my stamina. At this point, my heart started racing from all the running.

Minutes passed, not much was in the way anymore, the forest was still thick, but not as much. I look to my right for a split second as I heard a river. I thought not much of it as I continue to look forward and soon enough I was close. The flame that was so distant, was much larger upfront now. It wasn't hot or anything it didn't burn through the forest either, but it did feel rather warm for me.

I slow down to a walk, before fully stopping just at the edge of the forest. I put my right hand on one of the trees, I closed my eyes while looking down, I panted, taking quick short breathes- trying to steady my heartbeat that was racing. I took a full minute or two before I looked forward with my senses returning to normal
