Playing The Game. (Reverse Mabifica)

Chapter 1

I got off the bus with my suitcase packed full of sweaters and things I probably won't need. I drop everything and run to hug my cousin "GIDEON" I scream as I pull him into a bear hug. "Hey, Pacifica." He says. "SAY IT LIKE YOU'RE EXCITED!" I say. "HEY PACIFICA!" He says pulling me into yet another bear hug. "That's better," I say. "Ya, ya." He replies.

"Hey, Robbie," I say as he takes my stuff and helps me up the stairs into my room. I am staying in the attic. I sit on the bed across from Gideons. I begin to open my suitcase and lots of sweaters flew out of it.I pick them up and fold them I was still in my pajamas because the bus ride was long and I woke up at 5a.m. I put on a tank top and a light loose jacket. Then I put on jean shorts and put colorful bandaids on my thighs. I don't know why I do this, but I think it is cute.

Once I am all ready and unpacked I head downstairs and find my nerdy cousin with his head deep in his journal, ever since we were 12 he was always reading that book. We are now 16 and he is still reading it. My parents decided to let me come here for the last day of summer and let me go to gravity falls high school. It was the beginning of school tomorrow so I still had some summer to waste. "Hey, cuz." I said. "What Pacifica?" He said looking up from his journal."Wanna go on a monster hunt?" I asked. "Do I?" He said excitedly running to the stairs to pull on his shoes.

"Where are we going?" I asked. "There have been rumors of this thing called a hidebehind in these woods." He said. I was confused "What is a hidebehind?" I asked. "It hides behind you, rumor has it no one has ever seen one only a blur of blackness dashing out of focus." He says reading the book. "AWESOME," I say.

We walk outside and start walking into the woods away from the shack. "What do you wanna talk about." I ask because the uncomfortable silence was getting unbearable. "I don't know." He says. "How are you and Wendy?" I asked remembering his childish crush she was goth and usually had on a black sweatshirt. "Even though she is 3 years older then me, and thinks of me as a dorky little friend, I still have a massive crush on her." He responds. "Just keep hoping."I said. To which he responded "Trust me I will."

He started to say something, but we were cut off by a ruffling noise behind us. "Keep walking if it thinks we don't know it's here it will follow us." Gideon says. "Ok, ask me a normal question so it thinks we didn't notice it." I whisper so only Gideon can hear me. "Ok Paz how is you and Mermando?" He asked quietly preparing his disposable camera. Mermando was my mermaid ex boyfriend who communicated with me through notes. "I decided the long distance thing wasn't working for me, so I broke up with him last year." I said.

"Oh that's awesome NOW" He starts to casually say and whips around and snaps a picture of a tall black man object that didn't have time to pull itself behind a tree. Me and Gideon both saw it. "WE DID IT WE SAW THE HIDEBEHIND!" He screams in joy. "YAY." I scream. We run back to the mystery shack. As we were running I tripped on a tree root and fell into a thorn bush. I felt myself getting cuts everywhere. Luckily I had my eyes closed and my eyes were safe.

"PAZ." I hear Gideon scream."ARE YOU OK." He finishes. "Ya I'm fine I just wanna go back to the shack. I reply. "Ok I will take you there." Gideon carries me piggy back style back to the shack once we get to the steps I get off and walk in.

We walk in and my clothes are ripped there is little blood splotches everywhere I got cut. "Pacifica what happened?!" My uncle Bud says as I walk in. "She fell in a thorn bush." Gideon says. I really hate it when people answer questions asked to me, but he was just trying to be helpful. "ROBBIE." Bud says as Robbie appears in the room. "I am not good with first aid can you patch Pacifica up?" Bud asks. "Sure thing." Robbie says and he grabs the first aid kit.

We walk into the kitchen where he laid me on the table. Gideon followed us into the kitchen. "Now Pacifica this might hurt. He takes of my jacket and leaves I didn't have any scratches on my stomach just my arms face and legs. "What do you mean?" I asked, before I got an answer there was a stinging sensation on one of my cuts. He was putting rubbing alcohol on them. It was very painful but I didn't cry from pain. I squeezed gideons arm to dull the pain.

"All done." He said. I stared at my bandaged body. "Thank you, and extra thank you for using rainbow gauze and bandages." I said. "No problem." He replied walking off. I looked like a walking rainbow. I walked out and saw Gideon reading the journal for like the 7th time. "How do I look?" I said sarcastically. To which he replied. "Gay." I laughed knowing he was just kidding, he soon joined in on my laughter.

"I am getting tired." I said. "Ok, My dad washed your Pajamas,because he was already doing laundry they are laying on your bed." He said. I had only wore them once but I was perfectly fine with it. "Ok thanks," I said walking up the stairs. I look on my bed and sure enough my pajamas were sitting on my bed. Well I don't know if I would call them pajamas they were just a baggy t shirt and cotton shorts. I drifted off to sleep rather quickly.
