The NightMares (Dipper's P.O.V)
Dipper's Personal Journal Entry #4June 28 2016
When I woke after the fight with Bill, I was in an area where there was grassy plains for as far as the eye could see, maybe farther. I sat up and looked around. At first I though something was covering my eyes, because it looked like I was looking through 3D glasses in one eye, but normal through the other. I realized that I was seeing emotion and energy. Than I heard a sheep bleat. I turned and saw at least half a dozen of giant black sheep. The smallest one-I assume it's a she- walked up to me. I held out my hand. She was hesitant to lick it, but she did. I smiled and petted her. She seemed to like that, because she rubbed her head against my hand. Her wool felt cold yet smooth like silk. As I was admiring her fleece, I heard her speak in my mind.
'Are you going to eat us?' she asked. I found that confusing. I then realized what these were. They were Bill's nightmares. I guess mine now. I shook my head.
"I will never." I smiled. She bleated happily, as did the others. But then I realized something. "Does this mean I'm a demon now?"
'You're a special case. You can choose to be a ghost or a demon. If your a ghost, you will be able to only speak to your sister, but no one else. If your a demon, you will be a powerful type called a Dreambender. As a Dreambender, you will be able to talk to your sister, and everyone you know. But you will be summoned to make deals, as Bill was. So, what do you say?'
"I say, give me some time to think about it." I went to the pond and looked at it. I saw Mabel looking at a table in Lazy Susan's Diner. I saw a couple tears fall onto the table. I looked at my clothes. Through my regular vision, I saw my regular clothes. Through my emotion vision, what is known as the Sight, I saw me in a fancy black dress suit, wearing a tassel tie, a dress shirt, a black coat, black dress pants, and dress shoes. I looked at my hands. Through one eye, I saw my hands, through the other, I saw hands with fingers ending in pitch black claws. I ran my tongue over my teeth. Sharp as daggers. I felt my ears. Pointy like an elf. I took off my hat and, through one eye, I saw my cap, and through the other I saw a top hat floating an inch above my palms. I put it back on my head. "I want to go to Earth as a ghost, to see Mabel. Then I will decide." I walked into the pond and was instantly in front of the booth where my family were. I called Mabel's name and she looked at me. Her eyes lit up as she saw me.
"Dipper..." she said, smiling. The others looked to where she was looking. They couldn't see me and I knew it.
"He isn't there, sweetie." said Gruncle Stan. Mabel was looking at me until a newscast came on, talking about paranormal beings being unleashed into the world, originating from Gravity Falls. I looked out the window as everyone else did, seeing Shcmebulok and a Manotaur arguing in the parking lot. They called it the Transcendence. I decided what I wanted to do. I wanted to become a Dreambender and help everyone in this crazy world, and also to talk to Mabel. I told the NightMares what I wanted and in an instant, I was human again, but I was in that fancy suit again. I was floating above the table, and in the reflection, I saw myself. I looked like my fifteen year old self, but I had demon teeth, claws, ears and glowing yellow eyes. Then I saw everyone's reaction. Terrified, shocked, relieved. Mabel was the first to break the trance and our secret.
"Dipper!" she shouted in excitement. She tackle hugged me, kissing me. The tackle sent us tumbling over and onto the floor. Before impact though, my body floated an inch above the ground. I kissed back, my arms wrtapped around her. Everyone stared at us in shock. I didn't care. I was with the girl I loved. The moment didn't last long, though. She pulled back and punched me in the arm. "That's for dying." A punch to the chest. "That's for scaring me." then a rib cracking hug. That's for coming back... I hugged back, when I realized I could barely feel any pain.
"I love you, Mabes," I said, holding her close.
"I love you too, Dippingsauce," she replied, smiling. Gruncle Stan and Ford ruined the moment by clearing their throats in unison. We separated. When we were seated at the table, I told them what happened. Pacifica came in after I was done.
"I heard what happened to..." she froze when I turned to look at her. "Dipper!" she shouted, running and hugging me tightly. I could tell by the Sight that she was crying. "You jerk, I thought I lost one of my friends..." she pulled back. She studied me. "Why do you look like a demon?"
"Because I am one..." I replied. Everyone shouted in unison, "What!?" I nodded sadly. I became the thing I hunted... but I'll be different, fair. I won't be like Bill. My own self. My own demon. I am both a human and demon. I will help those in need, and hurt the wrong. I am a Dreambender.
