I do not own 'Gravity Falls'

Vamp

Mabel gave another sigh as she and her friends finished the last of her movie quintilogy. And a half, if you count the two parters. It filled the hearts of girls with 'Awws' and the hearts of boys with 'ughs', the Twilight series.

"That was beautiful." Mabel's friend Candy stated.

"Oh Jacob, why can't you be the one who stole my heart instead of Marius?" Grenda asked longingly. "I'd choose a hunky werewolf over a rich pretty-boy any day."

"Until he imprinted on someone else." Candy stated. "It's the vampires that truly mate for life."

Oh to have a vampire boyfriend. Mabel mused.

"Girls, I wish we had someone invested in the supernatural and probably has detailed information about..." Mabel suddenly trailed off. "You know what, I'll catch you both later."

With that, she ran off.

Dipper was calmly reading one of his favorite mystery novels when suddenly, Mabel kicks in the door to their room.

"How's my favorite brother!?" Mabel shouted.

Dipper nearly had a heart attack from Mabel's surprise outburst. One minutes he's calmly reading, and then out of nowhere his sister appears with a sudden question.

Dipper managed to stand up and brush himself off before he turned to his sister. Living with her all his life, he could easily read her as well as any of his books. She had a big smile and batted her eyelashes, signs that she was playing innocent. She was rocking on the balls of her feet, she was excited. She was being sweet to Dipper, she wanted something.

"What is it this time Mabel?" He asked.

"I want a vampire boyfriend!" Mabel exclaimed.

"Mabel, this Summer you have dated a group of Gnomes pretending to be a single human guy. A psychotic and fake child psychic. And a mermaid trapped in the town's pool." Dipper stated with a sigh. "That's not even counting the boys who've filed restraining orders on you. Have you ever thought of dating a regular guy?"

"Vampire boyfriend!"

Dipper gave his sister a long look, before he turned back to his Journal. He flipped it to the page of the vampire, an image of a normal, albeit handsome, looking human, side-by-side the classic Nosferatu. He handed it to her in hopes of her seeing it for what it really was instead of her usual infatuation.

"Mabel, even by paranormal standards, vampires are one of the most dangerous creatures out there." Dipper reasoned. "Their powers are vast, they feed on humans and they are very cunning."

"All I heard was strong, misunderstood and smart." Mabel stated dreamily.

Dipper groaned at his sister's stubbornness."Mabel-"

"Hey Dipper!" Stan shouted from down stairs. "I need you to come do something for me that's not very hard or even important but I'm too lazy to do it myself. I do this, knowing that it's taking you from whatever you're doing."

Dipper sighed while Mabel groaned as he went to do whatever chore his Grunkle had for him.

He never did get the Journal back.

"Let's see here." Mabel muttered as she flipped through the pages. "How to summon: Summoning demons, no. Familiars, no. Werewolves, hmm, need to remember that for Grenda-ah, vampires!"

Let's see now. Mabel read the instructions. Blah blah blah, very dangerous- blah blah blah, approach with caution...blah blah creatures of the night blah.

Did I say read, Mabel skimmed the page for the stuff she found interesting.

Step 1: Draw a summoning circle.

Step 2: Place items connected to said creature/being. A dead bat. A crown. A drop of blood. (Virgin preferred)

"Starting off with art, I might start summoning things more often." Mabel stated.

She began drawing a large circle in the grown with her always on hand art supply. She then gathered a dead bat, don't ask where she got it from, a crown she...found and a few drops of Grenda's blood that she...procured.

Step 3: Ask yourself if you really want to summon something that will more than likely try to use you as sustenance.

Step one and two done. Mabel thought with growing excitement. Now onto step three.

Mabel walked over to a randomly placed puddle of water and looked at her reflection.

"Hey Mabel, I'm Mabel, you are!? Me too!" She stated happily. "I just wanted to ask if you really want to summon something that will use you as sustenance?...What's sustenance? I don't know." She admitted. "I do know I want to summon a hot vampire. Me too!" She exclaimed. "Wow, we have so much in common, we should hang out more."

Mabel then waved goodbye to her reflection, who nodded her own goodbye before walking off. The reflection did, Mabel just stood there before sighing.

This town is weird. She thought.

Step 4: Speak this command repeatedly.

"Rise from the dark you dwellers of the night!" Mabel shouted. "Rise at my command!"

As the strange vortex began to fade, Mabel saw the one she sought. She didn't get a good look at the vampire, but what she saw awed her. The vampire was tall and pale with a crop of black hair and eyes that were like two pools of red ember. The face looked as if it had been chiseled from stone into a constant frown by the hands of a master. Everything about the vampire just screamed brooder.

He's perfect! Mabel thought in excitement.

He took one step towards her, before he burst into flames.

"Oh, right." She muttered. "Should probably wait for the sun to set." A random thought then entered her mind. "Aw, that means they don't glitter."

She looked into the sky to see that the sun was close to setting.

"And now we play the waiting game."

"Where is it!?" Dipper demanded as he continued to tear apart the room that he and his sister shared.

He was trying to find the Journal 3 that was missing. His mind was already going through countless scenarios on what could have happened. Bill possessed someone and took it. Gideon broke out of prison and into the shack for it. The Author didn't think he was good enough to have it.

To him, each of them were equally bad.

He couldn't stop searching, not until he knew for sure. he continued to go over everything in the room, he was determined to find it.

"Come on, it has to be here!" He frantically searched. "I know I left it here with..." And it all fell into place. "Mabel!"

Mabel watched eagerly as the sun went down and the moon rose up.

Yes! Mabel cheered as the last of the sun rays vanished in the horizon.

"Mabel!" Her brother shouted as he came running from the distance.

No! Mabel mentally groaned as she saw her twin.

As soon as he was within walking distance, Dipper stopped when he saw the charred remains of the first vampire. He glared at Mabel.

"I can't believe you Mabel!" Dipper stated angrily. "This has to be the most reckless thing you've ever done!"

"Oh come on Dipper!" Mabel shouted. "Don't you want to meet a vampire, you always wanted to meet the other creatures. Why's this any different?"

"Mabel be reasonable!" Dipper stated. "I always try to solve a mystery and get answers, we just meet most of those creatures by accident. And when I do search for one, I try to have it in a controlled environment, not out in some random field away from any form of help."

"I wanted him to feel safe." Mabel reasoned.

"Feel saf-Mabel, these creatures are capable of almost anything!" Dipper shouted frustrated.

"I know!" Mabel stated as she began shaking with giddiness. "Imagine what we could do together!"

Dipper looked at his sister with disbelief and could feel his frustration growing to new levels. He was actually becoming angry at his sister.

Why couldn't she see that this was dangerous!? He asked himself. Especially when the kid that loves the supernatural thinks it's a bad idea!

It was then that Dipper became aware of the charred remains that laid on the ground behind his sister. It was still smoking, as if it were still burning.

What could possibly be burnin-Dipper's mind stopped as it processed the information.

"Mabel, you didn't." He begged.

Mabel turned to where he was staring and cringed. "Yeah...turns out they don't sparkle."

He looked at the charred remains, his morbid curiosity getting the better of him. He really wanted to take a look at the body, or what was left of it, but his common sense was telling him otherwise. He really needed to get them out of there.

But when would he ever get a chance to study one this close again? The odds, even in there weird town, especially in this weird town, was too...incalculable. It was now or never.

Dipper squatted down to get a closer look. For the most part, the vampire looked like a giant burn coal. There was no blood, just a trail of smoke seeping off of the remains.

It seems that their fangs are real. He thought as he leaned in for a closer look. For the most part anyway. The vampires entire mouth had been filled with fangs, not just the canines, though they seemed to be larger than the rest. And pearly white.

It practically broke Dipper's heart to see such a powerful creature in such a state. Even if they had such a bad rep, heck-he didn't even know if that part was true. For all he knew it could all be media, like Unicorns being innocent. For all he knew, this vampire could have been friendly, eating animals instead of humans. Or it could have been a near insatiable monster. Who knows?

"I bet you were an amazing creature." Dipper whispered sadly.

"I still am."

Dipper froze, looking down, his fears were confirmed. The burnt 'corpse' talked! It's voice had been like someone gurgled sand, but the fact is the corpse talked!

Dipper looked into her eyes. It was the only part not damaged by the burns covering the remains of the vampire. A pair of red eyes were staring back at him. They were so...empty. Dipper stumbled back as the burnt vampire bent at the wait into a sitting position, never taking it's eyes off of Dipper.

"Sleep." It commanded.

Dipper felt a sudden weight pressed against his mind, he felt very weak. He was so tired, exhausted. As if almost all the energy in him had stolen. He just wanted to lay down and-Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Mabel fall to the ground in a heap.

"Mabel!" Dipper cried.

The sudden drowsiness was mostly washed away by his fear for his sister. He stood, but the world seemed to be spinning around him. He stumbled over to her, forgetting about the burnt vampire for a moment.

Dipper grabbed his sister and, to his relief, saw that she was still breathing. He was faintly aware of the creature groaning as it began standing up behind him.

"Impressive..." It rasped, drawing Dipper's attention. "So...strong. Good blood."

The creature took a unsteady step forward before it paused and hissed in pain and fell to the ground. Even the simplest act of movement caused agony for the being.

Dipper used this to his advantage, it gave him time to think. The young detective began thinking of anything that could help him and his sister, calling in all the facts and myths from every movie, book and legend he could think of. Many he had to throw out because of the fact he had nothing that could qualify, since he was in the middle of the woods with nothing but a book and sister.

Come on Dipper, think! He mentally ordered.

Compulsion! The myth that a vampire was unable to pass a certain area until all of the seeds had been counted.

He quickly bent down and slid Mabel onto his back...he'd need to remind her to lay of the industrial sprinkles if they survived. Or do more squats.

Let's hope it doesn't have to be seeds. Dipper thought as he dropped to the ground and tore up a handful of grass and dirt. He through it at the entity and turned to run, not bothering to stay and see if it worked, before he could take his second step-

"17." It stated. "17 strands...grass."

Not looking back, he continued to run.

Have to think! Have to think! Dipper thought as he ran away from the vampire.

Dipper caught a glimpse of the burnt mass heading after him, it was slow. Too slow. It should have already caught up to them and drained them dry.

The burns! He realized. It was still wounded, that was what slowed it down. The fact it was moving while in such conditions was a testament to it's legendary abilities. It must be in terrible pain. Dipper thought, feeling bad for it. This feeling was quickly over taken by the need to get his sister and himself out of there alive.

Dipper turned to look at the creature again and to his horror it was getting closer. In that one glimpse he could see that the burns seemed to be receding, the vampire was healing!

Dipper turned to see a stream, running water! The myth says that vampires can't cross running water! Wasting no time he ran through the water, not caring that his cloths were wet.

The water was very cold, unfortunately it wasn't old enough to wake Mabel from her trance. Unfortunately, he couldn't contemplate it long, he needed to keep moving. He didn't even stop to see if the myth about the water was true. He couldn't take the risk of slowing down.

Run. That was what his legs were doing. What they needed to get away, for both his sake and Mabel's…Mabel! He had almost completely forgotten about her! Her trance!Will anything wake her up? Dipper though to himself in worry.

Looking down he saw her body just hanging there limply, he was still clinging to her for dear life. Dipper began shaking as the hot tears came down his face. He didn't like seeing his usually energetic sister like this, so lifeless.

At a closer look he saw that she seemed to be openly snoring. And drooling. Not surprising. What confused him was that he couldn't hear anything. All he could hear was the sound of his own heart beat. It was both loud and erratic.

Taking a peek over his shoulder he saw that they were alone. It wasn't following yet...maybe the water trick worked? That would give them at least, he prayed, at least a moments rest. As he came to a slowing halt the exertion of the physical strain came. His muscles were burning. His lungs felt as if they were going to explode. As he set Mabel down he felt as if his legs were going to give out. He tried bending over to use his legs as a crutch. That didn't go so well. He toppled over on to his side next to her.

"Stop." He spoke at what he hoped was a low tone. "Need to calm myself, think properly." He said more to himself than her. He needed to think so that he could get her out of here, to get her safe.

Breath in, tighten muscles, breath out, relax muscles, breath in…He repeated this process until his heart slowed. He could hear again.

Now that one of his issues was dealt with, maybe he could deal with another. He looked to his side to see his sister, still so...still.

"What do we do Mabel?" He asked though his now trembling voice. "How do I help you? Maybe if I get you to Ford..."

"You can't help her."

Dipper frantically jumped to his feet and grabbed the biggest and longest stick he could. Good thing about the woods, there were plenty.

"Get back!" Dipper ordered trying to put on a brave face.

Now that Dipper had a clear view of the creature of the night, he began soaking in her form! It seemed that Mabel had summoned a female vampire without realizing it. Though it was easy to confuse the genders with the amount of burn wounds, though she had just about healed, to Dipper's horror and awe.

She was a fierce sight, carrying a type of predatory beauty. She had black hair that trail to her shoulders. Her eyes were narrowed, with golden irises and and still so old. Her face was hard, almost like it was made from stone.

"Leave boy." The vampire ordered. "I have no quarrel with you."

Dipper slammed the end of the stick on to a rock, breaking the end into a jagged spear. An effective stake. He held it out to her as menacingly as possible.

The vampire turned a cold eye to Dipper, making him flinch but not back down. He just tightened his grip on the stick. She turned her attention back to Mabel and opened her mouth. To Dipper horror, two fangs extended from her mouth, she was going to drink Mabel.

Dipper ran forward to impaled the vampire. He jumped and crashed his whole body into the vampire with the would-be-stake ahead of him. It was like jumping at a brick wall, she barely even budged as the stake pierced her flesh, the vampire grunted.

Dipper back up a step as the creature turned it's attention to him. He could see that the stake not only impaled her, but went completely through and was sticking out of her chest. His small moment of satisfaction was draining as she reached for the stick. Slowly, she removed the stake with only a groan of protest and looked at the stunned boy.

"You missed." She stated coldly. "This is my stomach." She stated as she moved the stake over a few inches. "This is my heart." Moving the weapon back to the wound, which was quickly closing up. "My stomach." Back again. "My heart." She held the stake out to Dipper, who just looked at it and her, unsure of what to do. "Try again?"

Dipper looked at the stake being handed back to him. He couldn't do anything more than shake at the monster in front of him.

The vampire struck out, smacking Dipper across the body with the back of her hand. The blow knocked the preteen off of his feet and into a painful heap. Dipper coughed as he clung to his pained chest, struggling to catch a single breath. As soon as the world stopped spinning Dipper focused on the vampire again. Mabel was hanging limply in it's claws, held by her arm like a rag doll.

"Wait!" Dipper begged. "Don't hurt her!"

"She summoned me boy, like a common house dog." The creature stated as it examine Mabel. Looking as if she were nothing but a vermin. "Someone has to pay."

"Stop!" Dipper desperately shouted. "Drink me! Drink me! Take me! You don't want her! Whatever you want, you can take it from me. Hunger, revenge, just wanting to kill someone!"

She stopped at the declaration, but didn't turn her attention to him. She never took her eyes off of the helpless Mabel.

"Don't you be a hero child." The creature ordered.

The creature opened its mouth and Dipper could see a mouth full of razor like fangs, the would be canine teeth larger than the rest.

Dipper didn't even think, he grabbed the nearest thing he could, a jagged rock. He raised it high before slashing it across his arm, fast and deep. He looked down as the blood began pouring down his arm. That caught the creatures attention.

"You hear me, you take me!" Dipper shouted. "It was my Journal that summoned you! It was my fault! You let her go! Like you said, I'm strong, stronger than her. She passed out, I didn't! You want me. I have everything the same inside, you take me!" Dipper ended with a scream.

It didn't seem that the creature was even listening to Dipper, it was focused on the crimson trail flowing down his arm. At least it seem to be ignoring Mabel. Dipper thought. Finally the creature dropped Mabel onto the ground and began walking towards Dipper.

Dipper began back away from the beast as it slowly stalked forward. He blinked once and the creature had covered the distance between them. Faster than he could react, the creature practically snatched Dipper up by his neck, Dipper felt as if he had cold steel clamping around him like a noose. Slowly, it extended it tongue out to at least a foot long began to trail it across Dipper's face. Almost as if sampling the him. Dipper began kicking at the creatures chest, not that it seemed to do any good.

"I thought you wanted her place." It stated disdainfully.

Dipper froze at the comment before slowly going limp in the creatures grasp. If it saved Mabel...He closed his eyes and awaited the inevitable.

He flinched when he felt the cold slimy sensation of her tongue trail across his arm, lapping up the blood.

This is it! He thought as he shook in her grip. I'm going to die. I'm going to die! He didn't want to die. Not like this, not so early in his life. Especially when it wasn't even his fault! Why!? Why should I die for her!? As soon as the thought came, he felt an overwhelming sense of disdain at himself. The answer was simple. Because it was Mabel, it was his sister. He'd always help her.

Once the creature had finished sampling his blood, she moved to his neck. He felt her warm and rancid breath trail across his neck, sending an involuntary shudder down his spine. This is it! He thought terrified but resigned.

He felt a prickling sensation in his neck. And everything went black.
