The only time I ever see her

Is when she's behind me in the mirror

Even from a distance, I can hear her

It wasn't hard to guess what Mabel had done.

Not one god damn single bit.

I slammed my hand on the reception desk, my breath shaking and I watched the nurse eye me oddly as she clicked around on her computer to see if she could find the security footage near Pacifica's room.

How the hell did Mabel get into the hospital?

How did she find us?

'Is this it?' The lady said, the sound of her gum smacking between each word. Still, she chewed on.

Flipping the computer screen over, the nurse pointed at what seemed to be Pacifica's room on the monitor. She squinted her eyes and adjusted her glasses, 'Should be it, kid.' She poked the screen with her finger a few more times.

I watched as the time lapsed on in the bottom right corner of the screen, and people walking past: people in wheelchairs, holding walking sticks, old people, children, pregnant women, but no figure fit the description of my sister.

Then I watched someone enter Pacifica's room, but this was no sister of mine.

'Sandy Johnson?' The nurse at the desk tilted her head to the side. 'Oh yes, she was in charge taking care of the young lady.' Her finger trailing the figure that walked into Pacifica's room.

'Johnson...' I muttered under my breath.

'Eh?' The nurse leaned in closer to the screen. 'This person isn't Mrs Johnson. This looks to be someone else. Sandy's got a bad back, and definitely doesn't have those claws.' Then her finger traced down to the figure's hands.

Dipper's eyes followed the nurse's finger as she drew his attention the long and sharp nails Mrs Johnson had. 

Blue claws.

That was exactly what they were.

'Thanks!' I waved off the nurse, running towards the exit of the hospital.

'Hey! Get back here, kid. You've got to clear your girlfriend's hospital bill.' The nurse slammed her palm against the table and pointed at me.

'Haven't I already paid already?' I shrugged at her. 'And that blonde girl is not my girlfriend.'

'Well, I sure don't know who she is but you've still got a medical bill to clear.' I walked back to the desk, she pushed a receipt towards me. 'Here you go. Cash or card?'

'Uh-' Normally Mabel was in charge of these kind of finances, how would I know? 'Cash? Or card?'

'Cash? Or Card?' The nurse repeated at me again, slowly intoning as if I was deaf.

'Cash.' I pulled a few bills out of my pocket. Looking at the receipt and at the money in my hand.

It should be enough.

And I really had to get going.

'Keep the change?' I put down the money and sprinted out the hospital.

'Ooh! Gladly!' The nurse cried out as she held the money out in front of her, eyes glittering.

Pacifica Pines

'Hello?' I yelled again. There had to be someone out here.

I realised that opening and closing my eyes made no difference at all.

All I saw was still pitch black.

Maybe I could... flail my arms around or feel around myself?

I started to move my wrist away from when I felt a sharp pain shoot up my whole arm. 'Wha-?'

Wincing from the pain, I tried to move my arms again. It wasn't long before I noticed a tug at my stomach whenever I pulled at my wrists.

Someone has tied me up.

'Mrs Johnson?' I cried out. That's all I remembered, she was the last person I saw before I got here. She must've known something, was she involved in all of this?

'Dipper?' The next person who I knew could do something like this. If this was some fancy elaborate plan to fool me and give me to his sister, I swore I would smash his head in if I ever saw him.

'Pazzie.'

The voice echoed through the space around me. Feminine.

'Who-?' I tried to turn my head toward the voice but I couldn't get my sense of direction.

'Relax.'

Relax?

How the hell could I relax in a place like this?

Even writhing through the pain, I kept struggling.

'I said relax!' The voice said again.

This time, it was almost like the voice said it inside my head. And for some reason I froze. I just stopped moving.

'That's better. Much better.'

Why was this voice coming from inside my head?

I'm not think these thoughts...?

In the midst of my frozen posture, I felt myself dipping towards one side, and falling onto my side.

Ow...

'Hurts, doesn't it.'

What?

'Hurts a bit?'

Maybe?

'Though it won't hurt as much as getting your dearest family stripped from you.' The voice shouted, demanding.

What on earth?

'You heard me.' She spat.

If I shouted out, would anyone even reply to me?

'Don't worry. I'll be done with you soon.'

Good.

'And my darling brother will just have to walk in to your rotting carcass.'

Brother...?

'See you around in a few! My dearest, darling Pazzie!'

Her... brother...

Mabel?

Mabel.

Pacifica lolled her eyes back in helplesses. This was going to be a long and eventful series of unfortunate events.
