Chapter Five:

Missing Something and Studying

Charlotte's pov

Stan had us follow him into the strange house. It had merchandise everywhere, there were eyes in glass jars, bobble heads, bumper stickers, and then just plain creepy stuff. I tripped on what at first I thought was a marble, but just a loose eye ball. I heard Stan grumbling as we were leaded up to the attic with two neatly made kid beds. One was for a boy. It had a blue blanket and a lantern on the table next to it. It also had books piled high on the table. The other bed was for a girl. It had pink everything, pink blankets, pink pillow, pink posters on the wall. The posters were mostly cats with cheesy play on words and a poster or two of Several Timez. I turned to Stan. He was in the doorway spaced out again. He once again noticed I was starring at him and bolted back to earth. He sighed.

"You guys can stay here for tonight, and we'll figure something out in the morning." He said looking like what he lost was more troubling then just losing some nicknack. He had the look of like someone died. I sat on the pink bed, Stan turning to leave.

"Are you alright? You look like we just ran over your favorite foot or something." I said.

"Relax, I'm fine, geez what is wrong with everyone?!" Stan said. He had yelling in his voice a little bit, it didn't scare me or anything, but he had turned from being out of it to kinda hostile.

"Right... So you want us to believe a man who fights a bunch of lil men is this depressing?" I said crossing my arms.

"I'm not... I have every right to be! Tell me what it's like to loose everything and having nothing?!" The man yelled. I was pushing him and are stay here.

"Can't we all just hug a bunny or something?" Said Louie.

"We're orphans what kind of question is that?!" I snapped back at Stan.

Stan clenched his teeth and hands, but then froze and just frowned. "Why did I agree to you rug rats staying here?" He leaned against the door frame, letting out a deep sigh."my great niece and nephew are gone, I'm freaking out, their parents are freaking out, everyone is freaking out! It's been almost two weeks, no traces. There one night and gone the next." He paused, leaving out something in my best guess. "You guys remind me a ton of them and your staying in there room, today wasn't a good day either, the police are giving up the search and the town has too."

I turned to Louie, he was expressionless. "I-I'm sorry I didn't know." I said. I did it now.

"Look can we just get some sleep and forget it?" Stan said. He turned and left.

I looked at myself in the glass. I was a mess. My hair had leaves and sticks in it. I realized I was still missing my shoe and my sock was muddy. Sighing I sat down on the bed and looked at the pile of books on the missing boys side of the table. So was Louie. I picked up one of the books on the top pile and read the title aloud.

"'GravityFalls history'?" I said. Louie picked up two more.

"'Breaking passwords' and 'mythical creatures'?" Said Louie.

"What are these kids doing?" I asked. I was just about to put the books back, but something caught my eye. It was at the bottom of the pile. Out of pure stupidity I tried to pick it by just taking it and having all the books fall. "Great." Louie helped me pick up the books and found the strange book under his bed for the night. He handed it to me and I looked at the cover.

It had a golden hand with... Six fingers? The cover was a dark brown-red leather, having many dents and rips. It had no title, or not really, it just had the number two on the center of the hand. Louie reach over and opened the book to the inside cover. It was stained with brown and yellow paper, the authors name either was never there or stained away. Apparently this wasn't the first book, it had written it was vol 2. For a while me and Louie flipped through pages, finding creatures too ridiculous to be real, then stopping, horrified. It was the gnomes, talking about where we were in the forest, the cave like place and the clearing, mostly taking about some gem under there hats that is very powerful. All of it was there. In this book.
