Monster Falls: The Stag

Chapter 1: 'Dorito God'

A/N: UPDATED THE ENDING PARAGRAPH JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW :D

I lean against a tall pine tree, beside a babbling brook, reading Journal 3 for about the 5th time this summer. I enjoyed spending the late morning in the woods behind the Mystery Shack reading my journal. It was quiet, no Mabel to bug me, and the summer breeze through my tangled hair calmed me. It was my escape, where I didn't need to worry about anything.

I take a long, deep breath and release it as a sigh. I cover my eyes and look towards the beating sun to decipher what time it may be. From the position of the sun and my many years of Boy Scouts, I can tell that its around noon, maybe a little later. "Well, I better get back to the Shack." I stand up, stretch out my arms and begin to head in the direction of the shack when suddenly everything went gray.

"Well, well, well, it looks to be my old pal Pine Tree!" a cackling voice laughs. Bill, the dream demon, the Dorito 'god'. "It's been a while since the last time I've seen you."

"What do you want Bill?" I say irritated with both arms crossed.

"Ahh, nothing much just wanted to check in on my favorite Pine." Bill elaborates on the favorite part turning his yellow glowing complexion into a blood red fiery glow.

"Uhh..." I mutter sheepishly as he starts to move closer to me, growing larger, and larger. I slowly back up with my hands behind my back, feeling for the tree that I was leaning on previously. Bill starts to laugh in his menacing tone, still creeping forward. "B-Bill...what are you doing?" I continue to walk backwards. Where is that darn tree?

"You better watch were you're going, you don't want to step in the Fluvius Cantatis!" He continues to come near me growing even larger. Fluvius Cantatis? Splash! "That my meat sack is Fluvius Cantatis! Haha!"

"Urg! Bill!" I say with my head bobbing above the water.

"Yay, you may want to consult the book about that! Haha!" Bill laughed hysterically. I make my way to the shallow part of the brook and splash Bill with the water. "Aha! What the-Pine Tree! You are so going to pay for that!" Bill yelled infuriated, which stopped my laughter. And just like he appeared, Bill vanished.

Shivering, I grab the Journal and start walking back to the Shack with Bill's voice playing in my head, "you may want to consult the book about that!" What is that supposed to mean?

--------Time Skip----------

"And we will be back with Duck-Tective after these long messages brought to you buy Chipackers 'The Chip that tastes like a Crackers!'" the TV host exclaims in an overly sarcastic tone. Slam! I walk past the living room hoping no one would notice me so I could get out of these soaked clothes.

"Hey Dipster! What happened to you?" a girly voice asks from the living room.

"I fell in a brook, or was it a stream. I don't know what it was, but I fell in it." I say agitated with my arms rapped around my shoulders.

The TV pauses, "What brook did you fall into?" a hoarse voice asks me.

I look towards the living room to see Grunkle Stan rubbing his hands together, "Just one at in the woods, I don't know exactly which one." I reply. All of a sudden I feel a sharp pain around my temples, as if I was just kicked by a horse.

"Was the water cold, clear, and refreshing?" Grunkle Stan asks again, this time getting up from his recliner and straighten his suit. "Sure, I don't know." I reply as I rub my head. "Kid, you just made me the richest man in Gravity Falls! Haha! Soos, grab some empty water bottles we are going on a 'nature walk'!" At that Grunkle Stan leaves the room to fetch his handy-man.

"Well, if everyone is done pestering me I am going to go upstairs and take a nap." the pain is getting stronger, and more excruciating. I slowly begin to walk up the stairs.

"Okie dokie Dipster!" Mabel says with a handful of popcorn in her hand as she un-pauses the TV.

------------------------------

I take my shirt off and pull out a mostly clean shirt and slip it on. I climb into my bed, with my journal in my hand. "Ok, what was Bill taking about? Some flu, or..." I flip through the old pages of the Journal until I come to a page titled: Fluvius Cantatis. "Fluvius Cantatis, that's it!"

Happy to find the page (which oddly enough, this is the first time I have seen this page) I read aloud what I think the most important information is; "Fluvius Cantatis Greek for: powerful waters (I just made that up BTW)...I have done little research on this specimen, but what I do know is that it is untouched by all woodland creatures, maybe because of a ritual or something...but I do warn not step foot in its water," Uh oh...I look up from the book and bite my thumb. Is that the cause of the pain I had? I don't wish to continue reading but I decide it would be best too, "...this brook has magical properties alloying itself to drain the life out of others...There can be drastic side effects differing from person to person..."

I slam the Journal shut, "Please let this be a bad dream..." I have no idea how I am going to sleep after reading that but I just hope that sleep will engulf me quickly.

A/N: Cliff-hanger! I am so evil to stop here. Don't worry there will be a new chapter coming soon. In the mean time don't forget to put this book in your library and vote for it! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Till next time:

Remember: Reality is an Illusion, the Universe is a Hologram. Buy Gold, Bye!
