Mabel.

People were screaming.

I blinked thrice and let the scene sink in: people screaming, trashing, running for their lives. Soos ushering next to Melody and her parents, and Abuelita who abruptly managed to stand from her rocking chair. Grunkle Stan and Dipper were trying to calm them down while Great Uncle Ford got a telescope and checked the scene.

I tried to contribute some help, but on the first step, I tripped down. At first I tried not to feel useless by thinking that it may be because of some protruded roots, but the snickering of the children said otherwise.

I frowned and helped myself up. Removing my heels, I ran to the entrance slash exit of the waterfalls. Risking one glance back, I made eye contact with Dipper.

And then I fled.

"Mabel!" I heard their voices called me. Heck, even Pacifica's was there, too. Wendy's and then... Dipper's.

I didn't know what I was doing but I was sure Bill was out there. For all I knew, he had already allied with another supernatural being like him, planning to take over the world thus creating another never-mind-all-that! in the process.

Oh, everything holy. Please, no.

I dashed pass by the gnomes who seemed shocked by the explosions. In a matter of no time, I was panting and I was glad I've managed to reach the town. So far, I could only see a few people cowering inside stores. I was starting to pray that they'd be safe, but one risked of going outside.

Something shot that person. It fell to its knees, looking at the hole beneath his collarbones. The hole was a bit bigger than any regular dot, but once you've noticed that you could see through it, you'd be in shock. And so, the person fainted.

"That's great!" The same female voice beamed. "Okay, you people. How about we discuss some things here? For example..." The woman finally went to the ground and started searching for some humans she could probably feast on. "We demons feed on fear, y'know? If you stop actin' like cowards, maybe we can have some second thoughts!"

One man scurried in front of her. In one of the many corners, I saw Fiddleford McGucket stifle a scream. What he was doing there instead of being safe in his mansion, I don't know.

"I surrender!" The brave one shouted.

The woman laughed. "Also, stop being idiots! We demons rarely have second thoughts, unless if it's for our own good. Right, Bill?"

My heart sank when she mentioned his name.

Bill then glided to her side, completely feeling tedious. He had his arms crossed and his eyes rolled. "Just do whatever you want."

The other demon produced a tsk-tsk sound and showed a lovesick-hurt-kinda face. "Aww, why 'ya actin' like that? Didn't you miss me?"

My heart sank deeper than Titanic.

"I don't, Pyramid! Okay. Past is past."

"And by past, you meant the time you forgot me."

"I was too busy taking over the world back then."

"You promised you'd include me in your plans!" She feigned a gasp. "But you didn't. You started Weirdmaggedon without me. You included our other friends, but not me." She smirked. "Well, you executed your plan with many loopholes and stuff—you failed."

Bill clenched his teeth. I would've said that he didn't actually care anymore, but his pride still has been stabbed in the chest. "Pyramid."

Pyramid looked at him over the shoulder. "Hmm-mm, sweetie?"

Bill rolled his eyes. "You're a girl today, aren't you? Fine, whatever! Do whatever you want, just..." He stepped closer, held her by the chin and looked at her straight in the eyes. "A deal is a deal." His voice resonated with so much authority, it spread across the town and made me shiver.

Whatever powers his words had, people started to scream, trashing around like wild animals. Many got shot. Fiddleford kept on muttering things to himself and almost blew up his cover when he saw his son getting shot at the forehead.

I flinched.

"Is that everybody?" Pyramid asked. "Hup-kay, hmm-kay! All of you, go to my HQ, yadah, yadah." She yawned. "This warm-up is makin' me sleepy; demons don't sleep!" She shook her head. "Hey, Mabel, stop hiding!"

I flinched twice.

H-How—?

"Isn't it funny? I can actually sense you now!" It was followed by a chuckle. In a snap, she was standing in front of me. "We haven't been introduced to each other yet, now have we?"

"P–Pyramid."

"Let's start off by giving some facts!" With a snap of her finger, a TV screen was in front of us. It showed random pictures of Pyramid and destruction. "Name's Pyramid, yes, nice to meet you. I'm genderfluid, today's pronouns are she and her, thank you very much."

I couldn't say a thing. Now, I felt completely useless. My mouth would've blurted out something stupid, or I would just stammer too much that she won't understand a thing I say at all.

She smiled. A sarcastic smile. "Are you tired?"

I didn't respond.

"Get some sleep."
