Chapter 2 - Prologue

-Welcome to Gravity Falls- 

--------------------(small side note: she/they pronouns)-------------------- 

In the quaint town of Gravity Falls, the heart of a bustling city, hidden away in a cozy apartment on the outskirts of town, lies a whimsical oasis of creativity, warmth, and mystery. A reflection of a vibrant personality. 

Bursts of color and charm paint the walls. Adorned with an array of pictures capturing cherished memories - from beach sunsets to city adventures. Hand-drawn sketches of mystical creatures and dreamy landscapes added a touch of whimsy to the space. 

The room was filled with an assortment of potted plants, their lush green leaves breathing life into the room. Succulents lined the windowsill, reaching out towards the sunlight, while a cascading pothos plant hung gracefully from the ceiling, creating a soothing canopy of greenery. 

Clusters of crystals sparkled on shelves and windowsills, catching the light and casting shimmering reflections across the room. Each crystal held a special meaning, from promoting peace and positivity to enhancing creativity and focus. Aesthetic lights adorned the walls, casting a soft, ambient glow that bathed the room in a warm and inviting light.  Books were stacked haphazardly on a shelf, their well-loved spines slightly cracked from multiple readings. Fairy lights twined around the bed frame, creating a dreamy canopy overhead, while a glittering Himalayan salt lamp added a touch of tranquility to the space. 

This was not just a place to sleep and study; it was a sanctuary of inspiration and creativity. It was a space where imagination could roam free, where creativity flourishes and dreams take flight. It was a room filled with love, light, and endless possibilities. 

The turning of a doorknob was heard softly and the pushing open of a creaky door. The dimly lit room had dust particles floating lazily in the stagnant sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains.  

Footsteps. Soft on the old wooden floorboards as she entered. Long, slightly curly hair flowing down her back, delicate features framed by thick-rimmed glasses. In a black band t-shirt and ripped jeans.  

However, it was the assortment of jewelry on her wrists, fingers, and neck that caught the eye. Silver bangles clinked as they moved, mixed with leather cuffs and beaded bracelets showing a rebellious spirit. Fingers were covered in rings, both sleek and antique.  

A long, silver pendant hung from the neck, catching the light and casting reflections on the walls. Spotting a full-length mirror leaning against the wall, she paused to gaze at the reflection. There was determination in their eyes, betraying young age. Sighing, she sank onto the bed, the springs creaking beneath her weight. Running a hand through her hair, frowning. Burdened by a weight on her heart, but as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a sense of resolve washed over her. Young and fierce, and ready to confront any challenges ahead. They glanced at the jewelry, drawing strength from generations past. 

Still lying in bed, surrounded by the soft glow of fairy lights that adorned in the room. Her dark hair fell around as they absentmindedly spun a delicate silver ring on their finger. The ring had been passed down from her grandmother, a treasured heirloom with mystery and priceless sentimental value. 

Lost in thought, looking up at a small picture on the wall, a small smile appearing on their lips. After one last twirl of the ring, the girl slipped it back onto her finger and got up from the bed, determination shining in her eyes. She took one last look at themselves in the mirror, taking a deep breath before walking out of the apartment, closing the door with a low thud. 

As she walked out the door, the teenage girl's eyes sparkled with determination and uncertainty. Her long, flowing hair danced in the wind. The door closed behind her with a resounding thud. The impact sent a nearby picture frame teetering on the edge of the wall, and with a gentle tap, it fell to the ground. 

The shattered glass scattered across the floor, creating a mosaic of memories. Among the broken pieces, a photo of a shack with a few people in the photo.  In the background of the fallen picture, a mysterious yellowish blur is seen. Almost as if it was trying to break free from its confines, it moves…  

Outside, leaves crunch softly underneath her shoes. The trees tower over her, their branches reaching towards the darkening sky like skeletal fingers. Her eyes scanned her surroundings eagerly, searching for anything out of the ordinary. She had always been drawn to the mysterious and the unexplained. Today was no different. The woods seemed to whisper secrets to her, their rustling leaves and creaking branches creating an eerie symphony. 

As she delved deeper into the woods, a prickling sensation crept up her spine, causing her to shiver despite the warmth of the evening. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched; that unseen eyes were tracking her every move. But instead of turning back, she pressed on, her curiosity overriding her fear. 

As the sunlight filtered through the tall trees, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor, she wandered through the woods with a sense of adventure. Her curiosity was piqued by the idea of finding something strange and unusual hidden among the trees. 

The rustling of leaves and the gentle whispers of the wind made her feel as though she was being watched, sending a shiver down her spine. She continued through the forest. Quickening her pace, eager to uncover the mysteries that lay within the depths of the forest. 

Just as she was about to turn a bend in the path, something leaped out from behind her. Long and slim blue arms wrapped around her, cold at the touch, dragging her into the dark part of the forest. Disappearing into the depths of the forest.
