'Who can I trust!'
"Gideon leave!" Mabel exclaimed suddenly as pink light light emanated from her palms.
"My my Mabel aren't you overreacting I haven't done anything at all, I've just been telling the truth to dear Life here."
"Leave!" Mabel said sounding more threatening by the moment.
'She's crazy!'
"Come on dear Mabel just let Life decided what he wants to do."
"Dipper trust me please, Gideon is evil and a monster."
"Why spread that horrible rumor about lil old me, why I wouldn't harm a fly."
"Those are Lies!" Mabel said as the orbs of pink grew.
As if a small memory surfaced for just a millisecond one small sentence implanted itself in my mind.
'Trust No One.'
Following this instinct I turned and ran away from both of those freaks, I'm lost and alone in this hell of a world surrounded by freaks. Echoing the word in my mind over and over I knew that it held some importance even if it was just out of my reach.
'Trust no one.'
'Trust no one.'
'Trust no one.'
I could hear that Mabel person scream my "name" and knew she would case after me, that Gideon kid however was silent and I had no idea how he reacted but I didn't care, for now I had to keep moving and find out the truth for myself.
"Ugh nothing looks familiar! Where the heck am I!" I yelled out to no one, still racing through the forest my heart beating a mile a minute. Suddenly I tripped over a tree brach and tumbled down a hill and landed hard on the forest floor. My body ached like crazy, I was not only covered in cuts but with mud and grass.
"Why me..." Picking off the foreign substance I tried to dust the mud off.
"Out of everyone in the world why did this happen to me. WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!" I yelled out wishing that some powerful force would answer me or that something would click and I'd remember something anything about who I am and where I came from.
"Oh you poor kid..."
'Huh?'
Turning around I noticed a red haired girl standing a few feet away from me.
"W-who are you?"
'Trust no one.'
"Oh um I'm Wendy, Are you okay? I saw you tumble down that hill." She gestured over to the hill behind me.
"I-I'm fine..."
"Come on dude you really think I'd believe that, your covered in mud head to toe and I've never seen you around here before."
"I'm uh.."
"Come on at least let me help you get cleaned up, then you can go back to whatever adventure you where doing, it won't take long."
Giving up I agreed but only to get this stuff off me.
She lead me to a nice looking house made from logs and showed me to there bathroom.
"I have a younger brother that maybe has your size, I'll go check but for now just take a shower and try and get that mud off." She handed me a towel then left the room.
"A shower huh?"
Taking off my clothes I stepped into the glass box and turned the faucet, after adjusting the temperature I let the warm water wash over me and my emotions took over, I couldn't help but cry over all the stuff that's happened in only a few hours, wiping my eyes with my hands I noticed the red water flowing into the drain. Quickly I jumped out of the shower and looked at the mirror, red streaks of liquified blood ran down my face.
'What am I?' Suddenly Gideon's words echoed back
"Dipper? Oh I see, Why are you and Death trying to fill poor Life's minds with delusions."
'Could it be possible that I am what Gideon called Life?'
Stepping into the shower once more I cleaned off the rest of the blood and mud taking notice of some cuts that started to heal.
'Maybe just maybe he was telling the truth.'
After a few more minutes of washing up I heard a nock on the door.
"You almost done? I got some clothes for you that I think may fit, I'm gonna leave them outside the door for you. If you leave your old clothes I'll get them washed for you."
"Alright thanks!"
She was being very nice considering I don't think she knows me, let alone if I know her.
Getting out of the shower I grabbed a towel and the clothes and changed.

-short timeskip-

"Thanks for all your help Wendy." I said as I was about to head out again, with nice clean clothes and a new look on trust.
"No problem kid, and hey if your ever in the area again feel free to stop by." She said as she playfully punched my arm.
"Y-yeah sure."
"Be careful and I hope you get home safely, I would go with you but I'm kinda grounded and my dad would flip."
"Heh yeah.."
"No I'm serious he once flipped a pickup truck when he found out I left be house after being grounded."
"That's crazy." Having no idea what "grounded" meant I Chuckled along with her, I waved goodbye as I headed back out to who knows where.
Once her house was out of sight I stopped and thought about what she said, well besides that "truck flipping" and "grounded" part, whatever those where.
'She mention something about getting home safely.'

'What is home?'
