Northwest Mansion Mystery{Part.4}

⚠️{No one's POV}⚠️

Dipper: "Heh, yeah. Back to the previous topic, I really think Pacifica isn't that bad..."

The Ghost's    laughter is then heard from the mirror.

Dipper: "What are you laughing about, man...?"

[Y/N]: "Yeah! We defeated you..."

Ghost: "You've been had, boy. You remind me of me a hundred and fifty years ago..."

Dipper: "What do you mean...?"

⚠️Flashback montage with ghost narrating:

"One hundred and fifty years ago this day, the Northwests asked us lumber-folk to build them a mansion atop the hill. We were told t'would be a service to the town, that once a year they would throw a grand party, and all would share in the bounty.

It took years of backbreaking labor and sacrifice, but when it was time for the grand party they promised the common folk of the town, they refused to let us in..." He said as a Lumberjackhe pounds on mansion gate back then.

Lumberjack: "YOU PROMISED, NORTHWEST!"

Ghost    : "With the trees gone, the mudslides began. While they partied and laughed, I was swept away by the storm!"

He explained as a swept-up ax embeds itself in the lumberjack's head.

Ghost: "...and so I said with final breath, One-fifty years I'll return from death, and if the gate's still closed to town, wealthy blood will stain the ground! A curse passed down until this day...."

A Northwest ancestor is then seen writing down curse and holding it in hand, then transitions to Preston, curse warning in hand, nodding to Pacifica.

⚠️Flashback ends.

Dipper: "So, wait a minute..."

[Y/N]: "The Northwests knew this haunting was coming..."

Dipper: "...and they tricked me into helping them to avoid ghostly justice...? We'll be right back. Come on [Y/N]..."

{Interior of the Manor}

Preston: "Thank you so much for coming, Mayor. As a sign of our respect, please take this chimp servant. Keep him away from bright lights, he gets...grabby...."

Dipper: "Northwests!" He shouted as the Mansion's main door opens, revealing Dipper pointing at Preston accusingly as he held [Y/N]'s hand.

[Y/N]: "You've got some explaining to do!"

Pacifica then dashes in from another room.

Pacifica: "Guys, you came back!"

Dipper: "You lied to me! All of you did! All you had to do was let the townsfolk into the party and you could've broken the curse! But you made me do your dirty work instead!" He shouted as he pointed to the girl.

Preston leans down threateningly; Dipper glares at him, unfazed.

Preston: "Look at who you're talking to, boy. I'm hosting a party for the most powerful people in the world. You think they'd come here if they had to rub elbows with your kind...?"

[Y/N]: "Our kind...?" He frowned as his lover glances at Pacifica.

Dipper: "You were right about them all along [Y/N]. She's just as bad as her parents. Another link in the world's worst chain!"

Pacifica: "I'm sorry, they made me! I should've told you, but—" She was interrupted by Preston who rang the bell.

The blond girl blushes from embarrassment and takes a step back.
