Changed (Gravity FallsXTokyo Ghoul AU)

The Scent

An alluring scent called to Dipper. It filled his discombobulated head with memories of his mother's home cooking. The young boy tried to battle against it but found new instincts and sensations dominated his judgement. Feeling compelled to follow the delicious stench, he barged the door open, running straight past Mabel who had been stood outside, but was now on the floor, then sprinting downstairs and out the door.

After he ravenously sniffed out the source of this smell, he came across a sight that horrified him. Then the human in his brain kicked back in. Dipper stumbled backwards a few steps. Before him lay the heavily mutilated corpse of a tourist, a middle aged man that the preteen instantly recognised as Toby Determined. Wait...that gorgeous smell that lured me here. was in fact, human flesh...he thought quietly as he watched the ghoul in front of him feed. Toby raised his bloodied face from the body, finding himself face to face with someone he knew.

"Well hi there young 'un," Determined presented Dipper with a handful of ragged, dripping flesh, "I don't mind sharing. There's plenty to go around. Got to give 'em the ol' razzle dazzle y'know!"

No sooner had Toby finished his sentence was his head lying on the floor, leaving a decapitated body to spurt blood everywhere. In silence, the anxious tween looked round and saw at the end of the side street, Robbie Valentino, coated in splatters of ghoul blood, a long, tongue-like azure bikaku wrapped around his arm like a snake.

"What do you want here loser?" Valentino interrogated Pines.

Dipper's instantaneous reaction was to pull the peak of his hat down to avoid Robbie realising who he was. But it proved too late. The goth already had his narrow, pasty face pressed into Dipper's, taking in every aspect o f his face.

"What's with your eyes? Why's only one of them red?"

"Valentino! Piss off!"

Robbie pulled away from Dipper, both of them casting an eye to the end of the alley where silhouetted against the moonlight, stood Wendy Corduroy. No way! Wendy can't be a ghoul! She just can't! Dipper ranted in his head.
