Bill Pov:

              Ten hours away on business and I appeared back to an empty cottage. I searched my room desperately before a maniacal smile crossed my lips. Those old farts had failed, meaning I wasn't at fault, but Dipper was still in the council meeting. I can't just show up at the Hekomi headquarters, they would kill me for the hundredth time. With a shake of my head I teleported to the mindscape before returning to Gravity Falls, and the elf kingdom.

I donned my human form and ran into the pristine castle. Shoving past guards as I ran to the throne room I spotted Kandae. With a sigh of relief I turned to her glad I wouldn't have to face the angry king, and father to my nephews.

"Kandae..." I gasped once I was within talking distance.

"What did you do this time Bill?" She growled while crossing her arms. One of her ears twitches in annoyance as she glared at me.

"The dinosaurs left with the kids!" I replied glad the blame was not on my shoulders this time. It wasn't my fault, I don't control these things.

"Fine I'll go break up their important conference because you're an incompetent father." She sighed throwing her hands up in defeat before storming off in the direction of the thrown room. I returned to the cottage in exhaustion from all the teleporting, but I had to start searching before the others arrived.

It took half an hour, but when they did arrive they were fuming. Smoke poured from their ears as they yelled at me as though it were my fault. We were preparing to use the tracking spell when Adelaide broke through the underbrush followed by four tired males. Mabel ran and hugged her sons and the Grunkles collapsed on a set of lawn chairs. They were asleep in seconds and no one made any attempt to stop them.

"Adelaide." Dipper sighed pulling our daughter into a giant hug. I looked around for Andrea, but she was not among them.

"Where's Andrea?" I screamed looking into the dark woods. Although it was the middle of the night I could see into the empty jungle.

"She was right behind us..." Dominic mumbled turning around to look for his cousin. His eyes widened in recognition followed by the two other children who exchanged scared glances before calling into the woods. Dipper threw me a look before joining the children in their calls. What did I do to instigate this?

"Children, I think you should all go to bed." Mabel murmured as she looked around with concern.

"Use the tracking spell now Bill!" Dipper ordered whipping around. A tentative look was sprawled on his face as he glared at me. I gasped for a moment at him before nodding and closing my eyes. I tried to locate her, but I was stopped as complete exhaustion and weariness washed over me.

"I can't do it right now." I said feeling my self fading into the nightmare realm.

"No you have to try harder she's our daughter!" Dipper screamed trying his hardest to grab and stop me. My thoughts were pounding through me in panic, but I was too tired to fight it. Everyone has their limits.

Andrea Pov:

             I woke up to pain in my neck. It was sore to the touch as I rubbed it lightly. The bed was soft and plush, but the rest of the room was a prison cell. I wobbled lightly towards the door. I was about to be within range when it opened.

"Good morning goldilocks!" A grumbly woman dressed in all grey growled as she grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. I did not fight her knowing that would be foolish considering she was the one that understood the surroundings. I found myself unconsciously rubbing the hummingbird on my wrist as I mentally panicked.

              The woman led me through the dreary grey chamber without resistance. Daunting eyes stared at me through the barred windows of cells. Pity registered on the faces of some, but many just looked on as though they had lived here their entire lives. She shoved me into a large room far away from my own cell.

"How are you likening your stay here?" A gruff voice asked from across the table. The woman picked me up my collar once more and forced me into a chair while still holding my shoulders.

"It has been delightful so far!" I replied throwing as much cheer into my voice and smile the best I could. I figured telling the truth about the fact that I had literally just woken up from being kidnapped to be dragged to this room.

"That's a lie! We like honesty here." The voice said sweetly as the figure started walking around the table. He wore all grey like the woman and his face was speckled with a
Scars. He grabbed my hand and turned it over to reveal my Hekomï mark. He scanned it with some device as I watched with horror.

"If we sent you back would you cooperate?" He asked a terrifyingly malicious smile crossing his scared face.

"Yes!" I nodded vigorously just wanting to go home.

"Lying again?" He questioned while shaking his head. Into the room a girl walked in. She was identical to me especially when the man used the device on her wrist and my Hekomï mark appeared.

"I won't let you down father!" She stated her eyes twinkling with a vicious glint.

"Especially not with her full powers!" The man replied while glancing from her to me.

"You can't do that!" I shouted causing the grip on my shoulders to tighten. The man pulled out a dry brown vine before stepping towards me once more. He whipped the vine against my wrist and for a moment I felt a choking sensation.

"Once you reach your full maturity the Satobi vine does the rest." He beamed as he placed the vine in his pocket once more. I couldn't say a word from the tightening of my throat, but Bill had broken the Satobi relic. There shouldn't be more.
