Needing Someone

Chapter 4

Dipper's POV

I woke with a start, wondering where I was but then remembering I was at the Shack so that's one question answered. Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something? Hmm.....

"Go back to bed Pinetree, your thoughts are too loud"

Oh...  Thats what I forgot....

"I'm not sleepy"
"But I am and your thoughts are loud enough so stop talking"
"Why are you even sleeping? "
"Because this body needs sleep why else?"
"Oh yeah... "
"Now I'm up" he said while rolling his eye-
"Come on let's go eat"
"I'm not hungry"
"I wasn't asking a question"

And that ladies and gentlemen is how I ended up around the table with a plate of food sat infront of me while Mabel glared at Bill. Aren't we just a happy family?

"Pinetree, I don't know how people act in your world but I'm pretty sure this is not how a happy family acts"
"Bill get out of my head"
"No can do its much too interesting to leave"

All of a sudden there was a commotion outside caused by something doing uhh...  I'm making no sense. I looked at Mabel and Bill and they have a similar glint in their eyes....
"Nope I'm not going out there"
"Dipper" Mabel began to whine but I was having none of it...  Until I looked at Bill and he looked liked a kicked puppy

"Please Pinetree, I promise I'll do no harm"

Who could say no to that....  He's even pouting.... OMG I'm gonna regret this but I can't just uhhhh-

"Fine I'll go" they were about to celebrate when I said

"If you cause trouble, enough trouble to get me hurt I will never allow this ever again as long as I live with you people"
"Didn't I already agree to protect you?  What more to you want Pinetree? "
"Umm...  Never mind"

And off we went to the magical wizard of Oz....  Wrong story.....  Wrong timing too but somewhat accurate as we step into the great unknown...  Too much? Nah.

***************************************

After hours of searching we found something undescribable, undistinguishabl,  we found......  nothing,  we found nothing, nothing at all.

"I was pretty sure we would find something here"
"Bill how could you have led us on a wild goose chase? "
"Don't go around pointing fingers when you were the one that started the chase in the first place"

And this began the fight between Bill and Mabel. It was pretty annoying if you ask me. Something moved out of the corner of my eye and just at that moment I figured someone is watching us and this  may be a trap.

"Pinetree someone is watching us indeed but a trap they set not"
"When did you become poetic? "
"Just now"
"Why? "
"No reason"

"Are you hear to harm us?" a voice asked

"Umm no but may I ask who us is? "
"Us in not your concern if you know us not already"

Ok I'm confused now

"So you won't tell us who you are because we don't know who you already are? "
"Correct young one"
"So can we leave now?"
"Unfortunately not as you have learn about our existence"
"But we don't even know how you look"
"Then I will show you what I look like"

Out of the shadows came a person so different from others that it left me speechless.

"So you are of the legend if old? "
Bill asked  suddenly
"That we are old one"
"Hey you called Pinetree young but called my old, how can you tell? "
"Imstincts"
They conversed for a while but then like a shot from a bullet I remember what creature this could possibly be. It was a......
