A Blue Flame {A Gravity Falls Fan Fiction}

Dreams, Reality, or Demons?

"You might know this as the "Dreamscape", or something like that. Sure, whatever you want to call it. First off, I want to introduce myself. Ver RaFyle's the name. Cant say I'm pleased to meet you, that'd be lying. I'm what you humans would call a Physical Demon. Like, how my buddy Bill Cipher was a Dream Demon. He dealt with this type of thing all the time. Messing with people's minds.

"Well I can do all that and more! I have a physical and a dream shape body. You could say I'm much more powerful then Bill. To put it in perspective, I'm probably 100 times more powerful then Bill. Oh, and I don't just "make deals".  No way. I have fun and those who have met me would probably not recommend going anywhere near me. I mean, if they were still around after they met me.

"And you my friend, you are about to wake up from that little shock coma I put you in. Ha. So, lets chat some more when your flesh slices decide to open shall we?"

Dipper's eyes seemed glued together. His whole body felt near the point of numbness. Was that a dream? Or was that actually someone talking to me? Dippers thoughts slowly morphed back to reality. His eyes finally opened.

He stared at the ceiling, which still glowed the same color as before he fell unconscious. An odd violet blue mix. Slowly, he pushed himself into a sitting position.

His eyes focused at a figure standing only a few feet from him. Dipper nearly bit his tongue trying not to gasp out loud.

A teen girl stood before him. She looked to be 17 or 18, though Dipper was doubtful. She had silver hair, cut very short. She wore a black t-shirt with silver symbols and writings of another language scribbled all around it. Her dark blue jeans she wore had dark purple suspenders hanging off them at the sides, with a few holes ripped in her knees and below. Around her neck she wore a silver chain necklace, with what looked like a rose pendant hanging from it.

She had her arms crossed, a look of annoyance written all over her face. But her eyes, her eyes are what made Dipper shudder. They had no definition in them. They looked like a violet glazed over marble. Like a demons eyes.

It wasn't a dream. It was... Her?

"I have a name Dipper!" She said like she had heard his thought. Maybe she had.

She stuck her hands at her hips. Dipper scooted backwards. "And it's Ver RaFyle! You know this! I told you this! Call me Ver, Dipper! Jeez La Weez, you'd think he'd give a superior being a little more respect!" She seemed as though she was talking to no one. But then Dipper saw Ford come out from the shadows Ver had pointed her retort at.

Ford massaged the back of his head like he had hit it, which was probably what had happened when he fell. Ver crossed her arms again.

Dipper, confused and scared, stood and turned towards the exit of the cavern. To his dismay, the exit had a glossy force field covering the whole way out.

"Nope, no, nadda! You ain't leavin just yet. Dipper Pines. Or maybe you prefer I use your birth name." Ver opened her mouth as if to start saying it.

"No!" Dipper held out his hands and shook his head furiously. "That's okay, we don't have to call me anything but Dipper!" Ver starting laughing. Ford walked over to him, and rested his hand on Dipper's shoulder.

"Did Ver tell you about herself?" Ford asked. "While you were out?" Dipper nodded.

"What's going on Grunkle Ford?" Dipper rubbed his hands nervously. He wasn't really into the whole demon thing. Not since Bill Cipher had taken control of his body when he was twelve. He still had nightmares.

"Well, we kind of just happened on Ver's hideout."

Ver cut in. "Yeah and its been ages since I've had guests! Ford, you don't remember, but when you first found Demon's Rest, I saw you! I was just too lazy to say hi that day."

"Demon's Rest?" Dipper asked.

"Yes, thats the true name of this cavern. Not Sparkle Falls or whatever you called it." Ver pointed at Dipper then looked at Ford with her glossy violet eyes. "And since you two have found and amused me, you both have to do me a deed!"

Ford sighed while Dipper shifted his gaze to the shining ground. "What type of deed?" Ford's gruff voice sounded annoyed.

"A simple task in my eyes. So be grateful!" If it's simple in a Demon's eyes, then we're probably still screwed. Dipper's thoughts seemed to make Ver smile wider. Dipper took a small step back. This was not the adventure he was looking for at all when he found this cave.

"Simple, yes, in my eyes. Young Dipper, you shouldn't have to much trouble. I need a favor, a deed. We can go into the details later, on your deed Dipper, you have all the time in the world right now." She shifted her blank gaze at Ford. "You on the other hand. Well lets just say you go first. After you've finished, then Dip Dop here can do his designated deed."

Dipper cringed when Ver called him "Dip Dop".  Only my ex-girlfriend from back home called me that. It was so stupid.

Ford threw up his hands, angry. "Well then tell me Demon! Obviously I'm not going to have a say in this at all. So talk."

Ver shook her head, making a pouty face. "A Demon is what I am, Ford. It's not my name. It's Ver. I call you two by name, not "Human". Manners. Male humans don't seem to have any these days."

Ford nearly growled out loud. "The deed, Ver. The favor?"

"Yes, thank you! That's my name!" Ver jumped up in glee. "Okay, Ford. Your deed? Your favor for me?"

Her gleaming smile turned into one that gave Dipper chills. A look a mischief and evil spread across her whole aura.

"I need you to bring me something I lost so very dear to me very long ago. It's called the Xarotive. You can probably find it somewhere in the Gleeful mansion. Good luck." With a snap of her fingers, Ford disappeared from the cavern.

"Now, Dipper, we can finally be alone. Or do you prefer Pine Tree? I know Bill just loved having nicknames for everyone."

An evil laugh filled the violet blue atmosphere. Dipper's heart skipped a beat. He clenched his chest.

Ver smiled again. "Speak of the devil."
