   You blinked your eyes as they adjusted to the light around you. You shook your head, standing up and observing your surroundings. The sky was grey and cloudy as rain fell softly dampening the earth you stood on. You held your hand out as small droplets created a small pool in your palm. You emptied your hand of the water in it before sighing and looking around at the quiet, dull forest that surrounded you. You seemed to be in a clearing, alone, and you felt as if you needed to look for something though you didn't know what.
   You began to walk around, your eyes wandering and scanning, searching for whatever it was you wanted to find. You trusted that you would know it when you saw it as you pushed past the brush of the dense forest. After a few minutes you popped out into another, fairly small clearing. Though this time it wasn't empty like the one you had been in. You blinked in confusion as you looked around the lush green forest before letting your eyes once again rest on the statue before you. It seemed to be of a being, left behind to rot and be forgotten as it was partially covered in moss and overgrown weeds. You walked forward slowly, examining it closer to see the stone, triangle shaped creature had one large eye that felt as if it could see into your soul. In a sudden gut instinct you felt that this was what you were meant to find. You looked around before looking back to the stone, slowly reaching out your hand as you felt an odd pulling sensation in your arm, surging into your hand. Your mind was hesitant but your body pulled you towards the object as you reached out, your eyes fixed on the single large one the stone possessed. Your hand reached out, ever-so softly the pads of your fingers pressed themselves to the cold, wet stone. In one finally motion, you pressed your palm to the the figures 'forehead' before al layout could see was a bright blue light.

You shoot up in bad and grasp your chest as you gasp sharply. Your head snapping in every direction as you came to, realizing the horrible burning sensation you had felt was nothing but a terrifyingly realistic dream. You ran a hand through your messy (h/c) hair as you took a deep breath and got out of bed. You took a moment to gather yourself before you walked out into the hallway, moseying into the kitchen where you found Dipper and Mabel.
   "Morning you two," you said with a slight smile as you grabbed a glass and walked to the fridge and poured yourself a glass of orange juice.
   "Hey (Y/n)! Feeling any better?" Dipper said with a hopeful tone. Oh that's right... you were still 'recovering'. You body was still a bit sore and you were still mentally exhausted, so technically it wasn't all a lie.
   "Y-Yeah, a little bit. A good nights sleep did me some good that's for sure," you said as you dipped at your justice smiling at the two.
   "Glad to hear it," Mabel cheered slightly as she munched in her toast. You nodded in agreement as you cracked your back, swiftly finishing your glass of juice and putting it in the sink.
   "I think I'm gonna take it easy today, stay in the guest room awhile. If you guys or either of your Grunkles need me you know where to find me." You said as you walked out of the room as the twins called out their goodbye in sync.
   Once you got to your room you plopped down on the bed and turned on the small lamp, it was quite dark out for being day due to the cloud covered sky and pouring rain. You grabbed the journal and got comfortable as you began to look over the next creature.
   "Bill Cipher, that's odd, it's the only one with a human-like name." You noted as you looked over the spread of two pages. "A dream demon who is very powerful and very dangerous. Do not summon at all costs. Wow... this guy must be really nasty," you said as you glanced around the page. When you focused on the drawing of him you couldn't help but gasp, the triangular form, the one eye... it was the statue in your dream! You knew you hadn't looked at a picture of him before you slept, you had only read his name, so how could it be that you saw him in your dream? You were startled to say the least, closing the journal and setting it aside.
   "That's enough of that for the time being..." you mumbled to yourself as you got up and decided to get dressed. You cleaned yourself up a bit before wandering out of the room to find the twins.
   "Dipster, Mabes! Come here a second!" You called as you walked around the shack. Seconds later they stood before you smiling.
   "What is it (Y/n)?" Mabel asked.
   "Did something happen?" Dipper questioned lookin around.
   "No, no! I just wanted to know if you guys wanted to... do something together?" You asked, not really sure of what you wanted to do. They both nodded happily nonetheless and you all hashed it out, deciding that a calming walk through the rainy woods was a nice idea.
   Decked out in raincoats - Mabel happened to have an oversized one that fit you perfectly - you all headed out into the woods, telling Grunkle Stan that you'd all be back in a bit. You stood in between the two twins, Mabel on your left and Dipper on your right as you all walked quietly, listening to the sound of soft rain and enjoying the smell of a fresh storm amongst the pine trees. That was until Mabel let out a small scream and then an annoyed groan causing you and Dipper to whip around. Mabel was being tied up but small men, no bigger than a garden... gnome... were those gnomes?!
   "What the-"
   "Oh not again!" Dipper groaned as he grabbed a stick and began whacking the gnomes off Mabel.
   "For the last time I won't be your stinkin' queen you weirdos!" Mabel struggled before breaking the rope and grabbing Dipper's hand who pulled her out and started running deeper into the woods as you followed.
   "Are those gnomes?! What do they want with Mabel?" You yelled as you all ran for it, the gnomes chasing you all.
   "Yes, those are gnomes and they are nothing but annoying little persistent butts," Dipper yelled back.
   "They have been trying to make me their stupid gnome queen since the beginning of last summer! They just won't take no for an answer!" She complained as you all sprinted still from the mob of little men.
   "We should split up, we can lose em' that way!" You reasoned as the twins nodded.
   "We'll break right, you go left," Dipper directed.
   "Alright! In three, two, one, go!" You said as you both too sharp right turns into the dense brush of the woods.
   After running for about five minutes more you realized that your plan worked as nothing was chasing you. You paused in a clearing, looking around at the forest and up to the sky as you held out your hand, rain softly still pouring, giving you a small puddle in your hand. You decided to explore more around you as you pushed forward through the brush and weeds. Not long after you popped into a small clearing, looking around you smiled at the peaceful sounds the forest offered before your eyes landed on it. Your face dropping as your felt your blood ran cold and you shook your head.
   "N-No... there's no way..." you trailed off as your started at it, it's one single eye seeming to stare into your soul. Before you sat the very statue you had seen in your dreams of the demon you had read so much about, Bill Cipher.
