Ford POV

I was shaken awake. We were all. "What is going on?" Dipper asks, rubbing his eyes. "I think we landed." I reply. "What a rough landing." Mayvis grumbles.

"LanLee are you feeling better?" I ask.

"A little bit." LanLee reply.

"Ford what do you think why she is getting sick?" Mayvis ask.

"It is magic sickness. This happens a lot until you are 10." I reply.

"I haven't gotten sick." Mayvis reply.

"Well Mom is non magic so you might of have her genes of no birth magic but you could always learn it but it will be harder for you." I reply. "When you are born with magic you are able to do the powerful spells as a young kid and the simple spells are easy. Just having birth magic makes things easier and you gain more knowledge at a young age."

Mayvis nod her head, "So I know I don't have birth magic so I'm guessing LanLee have birth magic and you. What about me and Dipper?"

"You haven't gotten sick so you don't, Dipper....I don't think so. He hasn't gotten magic sick." I explain.

Then we stop completely. "Shs, everyone be quite." I hiss. Everyone went dead silent. Then the sound of a door opening came.

"I'm glad that we didn't have to deal with the scabers." One said.

"yeah! Did you see how Master Pine Tree dealt with them? That wall of fire and I think he was involve with the shocking." Another reply.

"Magic is so cool."

"I believe that was dark magic Master Pine Tree was using. The darkest of them all. That is why they were so powerful."

"So dark magic is better than light magic?"

"There is no such thing call light magic. Just magic and dark magic. Magic is the more peaceful side. Dark magic is more the killing. Magic deals with healing, moving, transporting, and etc. Dark magic is basically a way to kill people quickly and powerfully."

"Fascinating."

Then our box was lifted.

"I know right! There have been rumors."

"What kind of rumors?"

"That Master Pine Tree is stronger than Lord Cipher and could over throw him if he wants."

"Gasp, no! Really?"

"Yes."

Then our box was set down.

"Do you really think that Master Pine Tree will over throw Lord Cipher?"

"I don't think so. Lord Cipher is like a father to him. They are one. Sure Master Pine Tree does all the work on the outside and Lord Cipher's dirty work but you know what Lord Cipher does?"

"Well he rules over us, he runs the universe..."

"Yes! Lord Cipher does with all the universe things while Master Pine Tree deals with all the war and killings. So I don't think he will over throw Lord Cipher. Master Pine Tree loves to kill and I bet he wouldn't want to run everything. He's got a family and a life of killing to deal with."

"I agree...we should unload some more or Master Pine Tree will have our heads."

"Agree."

Then they started to walk away, "Hey did you hear that Master Pine Tree's sister is here."

"What!"

"Yeah, she is getting the best cell down in the prisoner here......"

"....."

We couldn't hear anything else. "We got to leave now." Mayvis order. "Agree." I reply. I went up and I kick the lid open. I then poke my head out and nobody was around. "Alright let's go and hurry!" I then got out of the box then help my younger siblings out. Then I put the lid back and we ran through these doors.

We were in palace. "Where are we?" LanLee ask, "It looks like a castle. Is it mine?"

I was caring LanLee, Dipper and Mayvis was holding hands and staying close to me. "I think this is Lord Cipher's house." I said. Then we heard footsteps, "Great Lord Cipher's house that has lots of gaurds and uncle Pine Tree." Mayvis grumbles. "Come on!" I hiss then we started to run down the halls. Then we came up to this corer where there was footsteps coming down this way. We were trap.

"In here!" Dipper pointed to doors. I shrug, "Alright." Then we quickly went into the room. It was dark but we didn't mind. "Please don't come in here, please don't come in here." I muttered under my rapid breathing. The footsteps got closer and closer.

"Hey Trink." A gruff voice ask.

"Yes?"

Trink? Was it Mr. Trink? Tobo's father?

"Lord Cipher wants to see you and the other two. Do you know where they are at?"

"They are around here somewhere. This palace is huge and very nice. I'll go and see Lord Cipher once I drop this off in my room."

Then footsteps came close to the door and the handle turn. My heart stop.

"Trink." The gruff voice stops him and the door knob stop twisting. "Hide!" Dipper whispered. We all quickly and quietly got to our feet and found a place to hide. I learn this was a bed room. A large one.

Dipper hide under the bed, LanLee hid in the drawer of a dresser, Mayvis hid in the bathroom, and I hide in the closet. I crack open the door to see watch over everything.

The door open and the lights came on and it was Mr. Trink. He was one of the traitors?

Mr. Trink was caring a box in his hands. He walked in the room. Then he places the box on the bed and lay on the bed.

"This is the life." He mutters. I was tense. This man treated my family terribly, be trade us all, and now running for the dark side. I hate him so much. Usually mom will be mad at me for saying that. "Hate is a strong word, Ford. You can't say that because you are no better." Mom would say but she isn't here right now and so I can say it and I bet if Mom was here, she would agree with me on that part.

Then Mr. Trink sat up and went over to the closet that I was in. I quickly backed to the very back and have the clothes cover me. Mr. Trink opens the doors. "Boy Lord Cipher sure knows how to treat people." Mr. Trink said. Then he went through the clothes, "They are even all my size! Wow." Then the door opened.

"Mr. Trink." A voice called out. It sounded familiar. Mr. Trink turns around, "Oh Pine Tree, I was told that you were coming." Then Mr. Trink closes the door. I went up to the door and crack it open.

I could see Pine Tree; this was my first time seeing him close up and in real life. The other time was dusty and I couldn't see him well and this wasn't a picture from school. Pine Tree was tall with brown hair and brown eyes. He does really look like Dipper. He wore a black cloak with a black short sleeve shirt with the brown straps across the chest and black plants and there was a belt with holders, for knives and what not. He was bleeding on the cheek and arm and there was some blood splatter over his clothes.

"Good, the servants are good at giving messages." Pine Tree smiled.

Then Mr. Trink pointed at Pine Tree, "Um, you're bleeding."

Pine Tree gave a smile, "Yeah, had a little disagree meant with a prisoner. He snuck a Tip Knife in his clothes and when I came around he attack. Don't worry he got punished and I'm that hurt. The one bad thing about a Tip Knife is that you can't heal the wounds. Luckily for me I'm used to heal slowly."

"I'm lost at that part."

"It's a long story."

"So I was told that you need to see me instead of Lord Cipher?"

"Yes, sorry for the quick change. Something came up for Lord Cipher and so he sent me to talk to you and the others."

Mr. Trink nod, "Well it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I heard a lot about you. I've even meet your sister."

"Haven't we all?" Pine Tree grinded his teeth.

Mr. Trink folded his arms, "I hope you got the rest of her family. What pests they are. Especially her husband."

Pine Tree gave a chuckle, "I know that. Jume is a pain and I would have stopped the wedding."

"What about the kids? Those little brats. I hope you got them. In my opinion we should feed them to the demons. There is no use for them."

I tighten my fists. I want to do something to Mr. Trink.

Pine Tree gave a disappointed face, "No we haven't found the kids yet. There is a lot we have to go through. It is hard because I've never seen them and so it is hard to find them out of all the kids and I don't think they will say, Oh Mabel is my mom."

Mr. Trink gave a dark smile, "Oh I know what the brats look like. I could help you find Mabel's kids. There are four of them."

"Four? Really Mabel? I have two and those two are enough head ace already. Thank goodness Tori deals with them and not me. I deal with everyone else." Pine Tree comments.

"Yes four. Oldest one is named Stanford but everyone just calls him Ford. He is a handful and just so stubborn. The next ones are twins, a girl and a boy. The girl is Mayvis and the boy is Dipper."

"Wait...Dipper?" Pine Tree asks.

Mr. Trink nods, "Yes and he looks a lot like you."

Pine Tree thought for a moment. To me he looks...touched but sad. I'm not sure; I'm not good at reading faces. But I guess he didn't expect Mom to name one of her kids after her brother.

"Continue." Pine Tree ordered.

"And the last one is LanLee. If I have to choose who is my favorite it is LanLee. She is sweet but still a brat." Mr. Trink explains.

Pine Tree nods, "Alright. Well we better get going. The faster we find my nieces and nephews the better." Mr. Trink nod and started to walk out to the door, Pine Tree following. But Pine Tree didn't go too far. He pauses. My heart race. I hope he doesn't smell or sense us or could hear us or feel LanLee's temperature.

Mr. Trink turns around, "Pine Tree? Are you coming?"

Pine Tree pulls his finger to his lips to silent him. "I could sense some magic."

Mr. Trink pause for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"It's weak and I would have just leaved it but this one feels...like one I haven't felt in a while."

"I still don't understand what you mean."

I pause for a moment. Could it be me? I took a deep breath, must keep it in if it is me. What if it is LanLee? Then we are all dome. My heart was racing.

"Well this feels...like Cade's magic."

"What?"

"Everyone has their own signature in their magic now sshs."

Pine Tree pause there for a moment.

"But isn't Cade dead?" Mr. Trink whispered.

"He is but his family has a similar kind. Like his grandson will have about 15% of Cade in his magic. Mabel's kids, if they have magic by this age, will be about 10%. I still can sense Cades magic around." Pine Tree explains. "It's somewhere close."

Then Pine Tree starts to walk around slowly, testing where he could sense the magic stronger or weaker in the room. My heart was racing. Could it be me or LanLee? I was getting worried. Then Pine Tree got to the closet. I went to the back and hide in the clothes. My heart was racing. If we got caught now then there is no hope. I took a deep breath. I knew from when Dad talks about magic, emotions will stir up magic. If I stay calm then no magic will show out.

Pine Tree touches the door knob and opens the door partly. He pauses. I bet he could hear my heart beat. This was the scariest game of hide and go seek I've ever played. Then Pine Tree faces the dresser. Then he started to walk toward the dresser. LanLee!

I crawled out of the clothes and went up to the door, just peeking through so I won't be seen by Mr. Trink or Pine Tree. I watch in horror as Pine Tree went up to the dresser. He pauses there for a moment. Then he looked down at the lowest drawer and bent down and reaches for the drawer.
