Prologue

A/N: Hey everyone! This my first AU story so please no flames.

In this story the twins are part of the paranormal in their town and are rejected because of it. Only few people who don't know or believe in that stuff trust them.

I hope you enjoy it.

Somewhere in the woods, two kids were running breathlessly for shelter from the rain that was pouring heavily over them. It was one of those long summer storms that would last for hours. The first was a twelve years old boy with brown hair wearing a navy blue T-shirt that was slightly torn, brown shorts and black shoes. The other was a girl around the same age as his. She wore a bright red sweater, a purple skirt and black shoes.

The twins soon came to a halt under a tree to catch their breaths. The boy, Dipper leaned against the hard wood of the tree, panting. His entire body was soaked and water dripping from his clothes and hair. He sighed and got into a sitting position, eyeing his sister every now and then to make sure she's alright. The storm however continued its assault and the rain didn't seem like it's going to stop anytime soon.

Dipper sighed again. This is going to be a long night.

"Dipper, look!" his sister suddenly cried and pointed at something in the woods. Dipper stood up and walked over to where she was. He then saw what looked like a small wooden shack about thirty feet away from them. It stood alone in the evergreen and by the looks of it, the place seemed pretty old. There was light coming from a window which means someone lived in there.

"Maybe someone in there could help us!" His sister, Mabel said hopefully.

"I dunno Mabel; we don't know who could be living in that place. They might not be friendly for all we know." replied Dipper.

Mabel frowned and looked down sadly. "We at least gotta try. Maybe their nice people and will give us something to eat." she jumped slightly when a lightning bolt streaked through the sky. Dipper hoped his sister was right as he clutched his grumbling stomach. They both haven't eaten for hours and the exhaustion was starting get to them too.

"Alright, let's go." with that they both made their way towards the old shack. They stopped in front of the door first to dry their hair and clothes to make a good first impression to the owners of the house. Dipper glanced to Mabel who was giving him an encouraging smile before taking a deep breath.

"Well, here goes nothing…" he walked over and knocked the door, anxiety, and nervousness building up inside him. He didn't know what to expect but he tried to compose himself as much as possible. After a moment with no answer, he knocked again but nobody replied.

"I guess no one's home, let's turn around and find another-" before he could finish the door swung open revealing an old man wearing a black suit, a fez, glasses and…..an eye patch?

"Welcome to a world of mystery! I'm Stanford Pines and…." his long grin quickly fell when noticed it wasn't a tourist group in front of him, but instead two kids giving him confused looks. "Who are you, kids? What are you doing in a weather like this?" he asked sternly, taping his foot on the floor as he waited for them to answer. "Well?"

"Ehh…well my sister and I got lost in this storm and we were wondering if you could let us stay here for the night. If that's okay with you, of course." the boy said nervously. Mabel nodded eagerly.

The old man stared between them thoughtfully for a while and shrugged. "Fine, but as long as you don't touch anything, okay?" he then motioned for them to come in. While the girl was beaming with joy the boy smiled in relief.

Suddenly, Dipper heard a branch snap and looked back to the woods warily. There was something moving in there, but he couldn't get a good look at it.

"Hey, kid! You comin'?" Stan asked. Dipper quickly dismissed the thought and hurried behind his sister. It was probably a deer or something.

Meanwhile, a dark figure was hiding in the trees, watching them enter the shack.
