--Ghost's POV--

"NOTHING!" I kicked a barrel, "Nothing from Toast OR the Gingarian!"

"Wendy." Dipper corrected.

"Fine. Sure. Whatever." I said, "can we double check?" Dipper shook his head.

"No, we cannot triple check. Also, keep track of how many times we've searched a place."

"You'll be surprised what you can miss," I said, looking around another pillar.

"YOU ABTHOLUTE NERDS! GET OVER HERE!" Spencer shouted from the food court. I started running without a second thought, Dipper shouting after me.

We all split up to search the place in twos and threes because it was so big. Dipper wanted to check the Food court, insisting that if the Gingarian was here, that's where'd she be, but I insisted we check the video game store for Toast (Not mentioning I wanted to keep Casket away from all knives, not just the sharp ones, it was hard enough to get in control of my own body again, I don't want it going down the toilet in a single movement.), and Spooker had already started looking for chicken, so...

I think Maxwell went with Mabel and McGucket to a random part of the mall, in case someone else was here, and the Pines adults went to scout the outside. It took us awhile to get in because a bunch of eyeball-things came out of nowhere and started trying to, I quote Dipper, 'THEY'RE GOING TO TURN US TO STONE! GET IN GET IN GET IN!'

We ran into the room to see food scattered everywhere, mixing with blood from a dead guy on the floor, insides torn out. Jimmy chuckled a bit from my mouth and I quickly looked away, not wanting to deal with a murderer right then, instead I looked at the storage room to see the waffle drawer cleared out.

"The Acachallas were here..." I said, stepping in, "Sally must've killed the guy." I looked further in, but there was no further evidence of what happened. I stepped back out to ask Spencer if they'd seen anything on the body, but he started explaining when I stepped out.

"Sally ripped the guy to shreds, this doesn't match any other of their styles..." Spencer said, looking over the corpse, "and this is why I hate eating." He puked into a trash can for a few seconds.

"I wonder who this poor guy was..." Spooker said, inconsiderately kicking the bloody corpse.

"That was Robbie..." Dipper mumbled, astounded. "What the heck..." I nodded, trying to pry my eyes off the body. Jimmy's still the worst.

"I can hear you." He mumbled, still trying to gain control.

"Shut up, crazy," I said, slapping my forehead. Spencer gave me a look. "I really need Toast back."

"You think we can't tell?" Spooker said, looking over. "You act so much calmer around him, I'm beginning to think Casket wasn't making a joke earlier about the love thing."

"I love him like a brother!" I covered, quickly. Snapping my eyes away to glare at Spooker. Some things were better kept quiet... After a short while, Dipper, looking uncomfortable, quickly butted in.

"So why'd you wait so long before showing us?" He asked, looking to Spencer. "Wouldn't that be the first thing you'd want to tell us?"

"We wanted to scout for enemies first. Well, I did. Spooker wanted to thee if there were any nachoth left, but Papa cleared out all the Oreoth, nachoth and pothibly Doritoth in this entire part of the mall." Spencer said, "I think she might've been here but something happened."

"This is literal murder. We are staring at a murder scene." Dipper said, eyes wide, "I thought you people didn't actually go around killing other people!" Spencer rolled his eyes.

"Once kitty wanted to destroy the world with a black hole." Spooker said, "it wasn't this one."

"I am with murderers trying to stop the Apocolypse."

"Yeah, pretty much," I said, trying to grab his hand, despite him pulling away. "Look, no use being upset about this. If I could go back and change some things, most routes would lead to me as a person not existing. I don't really want that."

"It's your fault this is happening," Dipper said, glaring. I gave him a confused look and he sighed, "I guess there's still time to find Wendy before Bill... Does whatever he's planning to do. He seems to be leaving us well enough alone, that's pretty good."

"Wait, why is this my fault?" I checked, really confused, "Did Casket do something?" I said, trying to look at my head.

"Hey! I didn't do anything!" Casket shouted, offended, "if I did something, everyone annoying would be dead, and as you can see, that's not what happened." He looked right Spencer and Spooker, "well technically, you already died once, and Spooker's been dead for ages..." I felt one of my hands heading to my pocket and I slapped it with the other one. Everyone was staring at me, not knowing whether or not I was going to attack them. I'm a timebomb, and no one knows when I'm going to go off.

"C'mon. Let's go find McGucket and Mabel. They might've found something." I said, trying to relieve the tensions. "I think I'm calm enough to talk to them." Dipper nodded and began to walk out, while Spooker and Spencer relaxed a bit behind me. I really hoped I wasn't that bad that the second I show signs of 'peacefulness', everyone must rejoice. That'd be really terrible.

"So..." I mumbled, trying to start a topic. I like to talk when I'm walking, usually babbling to myself when I'm alone or filling Toast's ears with nonsense when we walk together. "Where do you think the Gingarian is?"

"Stop calling her that." Dipper said, scowling, "she is a human being, and possibly in really serious danger. Making her sound like a rabid gingersnap is really disrespectful."

"... Fine. Where do you think Wendy is?" I asked again, annoyed.

"I don't know, she could be anywhere... Maybe Bill had those Acachalla people do something to her... To think the one wanted to adopt me and Mabel..."

I rolled my eyes, checking the walls for any signs of spiders or birds, "No news there, that sounds like the Acachallas."

He jumped over a nearby collapsed pillar, too small to climb, too big to walk across, so he just watched as I jogged around. "Are you afraid of jumping or something?" He asked, curiously.

"Yes." I said, "Not heights, just jumping." I started walking away again, listening for Maxwell or Mabel, they seem like really loud people, while Dipper complained about never knowing whether or not I was serious.

"WAIT UP YOU ABTHOLUTE NERDS!" Spencer shouted behind us, running really slowly, while Spooker just appeared next to us, smiling.

"I think I know where Maxwell is!" He said, "So would you prefer an insured safe teleportation or not?"

"Yes!" Dipper said, while I just shrugged it off. Spooker grabbed the kid's arm and the world blinked out. For a second, I was falling, not being able to know anything from anywhere. The world was a blank canvas, and then it was all back. I gulped in air, no matter how many times I go by Spooker's teleportation, I always ended up out of breath if I didn't ground myself to him. Dipper looked fine, more or less, considering he landed inside of Maxwell. They both shuddered and stepped out of each other. Spencer almost ran into Mabel and full speed, shouting at Spooker the whole time. I just watched the chaos unfold, debating whether or not to laugh next to the McGucket guy.

"I knew you only had one brown eye!" McGucket almost gasped, confused. "I swear, every time I look at you, you look different!" I chuckled it off, hoping Mabel didn't hear, considering since we got off the golf cart, my eyes, hair, and clothes have been altering color constantly. Honestly, I didn't know Jimmy well, but I knew the more people who knew his 'secret', the most people would end up dead when this was all over, meaning I'm probably going to suffocate under the heaps of corpses Casket's going to create, already. I didn't want two more incoent civilians to go under because I couldn't keep a secret.

We may be murderers, but not all of us want to be.
