(y/n) panted wildly, bolting as quickly as her legs could take her. The sun was only just starting to come out, so you could barely see her footprints that she left on the forest floor.

However, another creature stomped over hers, leaving behind his own footprints that were at least four times the size of hers.

Without stopping, (y/n) looked back to see the creature was just a few yards behind her.

This only encouraged her to run even faster, shoving tree branch after tree branch out of her way and hoping they slammed into the monster behind her.

They didn't.

Resorting to other measures, (y/n) hurriedly took out the plasma blaster, turned around, and fired.

Unfortunately, the monster dove out of the way, and her shot hit the tree behind him instead. The tree creaked in protest as it started to come down.

Crash!

(y/n) yelped and lunged to the side, softening her landing with a somersault just as the tree landed on the path she had been running on just a few seconds ago.

She turned around, hoping that the creature hadn't been so lucky, only to find the dark purple monster in one piece standing next to the fallen tree.

"Aw, come on!" She screamed in frustration, picking herself up off the ground and continuing to run. The creature chased after her.

(y/n) could barely see much of anything underneath the dark grey sky, but up ahead of her, the little lights of civilization were just starting to come into view.

Almost there.

With all her remaining strength, (y/n) pushed forward, running as fast as her rather short legs could take her. Because of that, she had to take more steps just to keep ahead of the creature.

"Curse you, tiny legs!" She shouted frustratedly, as she started to reach the outskirts of town, where a series of power lines had started.

Her face brightened as a line of fences separating the town from the forest came into view.

But just as she was about to reach them, the monster suddenly swiped his tail at her, knocking her off course and sending her flying into the nearest powerline.

She cried out as the pain spread throughout her body starting at her back, the force of the collision so great that the powerline actually tipped over her motionless body.

Just a few yards away, several residents of Gravity Falls had heard the collision, with Lazy Susan and Mr. Sprott being among them.

"Did you hear that mysterious sound?" Lazy Susan asked in a loud, oblivious voice.

"Sure did" said Mr. Sprott with a laidback and equally oblivious tone. "Sure seems like something we should investigate..."

He started thinking rather deeply about that, contemplating whether or not to actually go check it out.

"Wanna watch this video of my cats getting stuck in the diner coffee machine?" Lazy Susan suddenly asked, holding up her phone.

Mr. Sprott's face brightened.

"Do I?"

And with that, the two of them started walking away, leaving the dangerously low powerline behind them.

(y/n)'s head was throbbing as she struggled to pull herself up, only to see the creature walking towards her, with an ugly smirk across his hideous face.

His low voice chuckled wickedly.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" He said. "The infamous (y/n) Pines. Looking more ragged than the last time I saw you."
