Playing with Fire [Gravity Falls Fanfic]

Ch. 14 What's your hypothesis?

McGucket wakes up and looks at his surroundings, seeing nothing but darkness.

" What happened?" McGucket stands and frowns when he doesn't see anything.

" Ricky?" McGucket called out, but there was no response.

" If you do as I say, I will tell you where your beloved Fairy is at," A masculine malicious voice spoke, causing McGucket to shiver.

" Who's there?!" McGucket shouts while looking at his surroundings.

A static-like sound grabs McGucket's attention. McGucket turns around and sees a TV in the distance.

McGucket warily stared at the TV, but something in him felt compelled to walk towards it.

McGucket approached and stood before the TV, staring at it with mixed emotions.

" Let me have your body, and you will have your Fairy back," The masculine malicious voice whispered, causing McGucket to shiver.

McGucket opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he saw an image playing on the screen. His dark eyes widened when he saw a familiar figure in black and white at a cemetery with their hands on a gravestone.

" Faye," McGucket mouths out, getting emotional.

" Faye!" McGucket shouts, but the feminine figure on the TV screen can't hear him.

" Faye! It's me, your Papa!" McGucket shouts with his hands on the TV.

Footsteps approached McGucket, causing the older male to turn around, and he froze when he saw ruby demon-like eyes stare at him.

" She cannot hear you," The masculine malicious voice spoke, causing McGucket to look at the darkness warily.

" Who-What are you?" McGucket asked while stepping back, but he bumped against the TV, causing him to look at his daughter, Faye Pines, with mixed emotions.

" I am a Lost Soul," The masculine malicious voice cackled, making McGucket pale.

" As I said before, do as I say, and you will have your Fairy back," A glove-like hand appeared before McGucket.
