---------Amanda's POV-------
"How long have I been here anyway?" I whispered. I felt weird talking to myself- but it's not like I have anyone else to talk to.

I reached my hand to the wall and concentrated... I read in a book that demons did this to open portals- I wonder if I could open it without the dragons blood... Even if I'm still a beginner... Who cares if I am- Just...

Concentrate....
Concentrate....
Concentrate....

I opened my eyes to see a small portal forming infront of me. I squealed internally. It worked!

I opened a portal without nah dragons blood whatsoever- wait... My hands were glowing red- the dragons blood!
My hands are still stained from it!
I sighed.

"Yeah... It's gonna take a lot more then that if I want to get lastthe beginner stage..." I sighed, looking at the portal again...

Suddenly, a hand came out of the portal, grabbing my arm and pulling me through the small opening- I looked at the person to see- William.... Busted...

"What were you thinking?!" Will yelled, walking out from behind William.

I laughed nervously . "Umm- well ya' see-" Then I realized something... "Wait... Why am I here? I was trying to open a portal to Gravity Falls!!!" I yelled, then turned to William. "You had something to do with this didn't you!" I yelled, glaring at William.

"What? I did nothing!" He said, throwing his hands up in defense. I sighed in relief. "Unless of course you count the fact that I intervened with your portal, it wasn't that hard since your a beginner with this stuff." William laughed.

"Great, just wonderful! I'm stuck with a sarcastic bluffing brother and an over protective cowardly demon! Fantastic..." I said sarcastically.

"And you called him sarcastic." Will laughed. I ignored him and looked around, grey. Nothing but grey everywhere...

"Umm- Will, Where exactly are we?" I asked.

"The dreamscape." He says, shrugging.

"Dreamscape huh? Alright... Hey! Do you know anyone by the name of Nightshade?" I asked. The color drained from both of their faces. "What?"

"N-N-Nightshade?" Will's voice quivered.

"Umm...." I paused. "....yes?"

William snickered. "I haven't heard that name in forever."

"Who is he?" I asked, urgent to get to the point.

"Nightshade is Bill's twin brother..." William explained.

"So he's not just another dimension Bill like Will?" I asked.

"Nope. He's our uncle, pretty weird huh- I don't think you've ever met him before... Even when you were younger." William explained further.

"Weird... Wait-! If he's our uncle then why isn't he in that weird hallway of family portraits?" I questioned suspiciously.

"Bill doesn't like him very much... In fact he was actually banished from planet Cipher a long time ago." He snickered.

"That's a bit harsh..." I mumbled.

"Yeah well he did a lot of bad things... Plus he is 2 times more powerful then Bill. Probably even stronger by now!" William said, pacing from left to right. "Plus he has those Gleefull twins working for him..."

"T-T-This is ri-ridiculous." Will said.

"Yeeeeeeah..." I dragged out.

"Anyway- now that your brother is all healed up I should take you back to Bill-" Will said.

NO way. I've come this far, I'm not gonna give up now... I focused and- YES! A portal opened, I quickly jumped through it. "Hey wait!" I could hear Will yelling at me.

I don't care if I have to go through thousands of dimensions- I'm getting back to Gravity Falls...

I just hope this portal will be the one that leads me there...
