Mod S found Henry

It wasn’t their son that was the last straw for Mark and Anna Pines. They could have borne it, if it was just their son. They could have spent the rest of their childrens’ childhoods flinching at shadows and ignoring the goats blood. They could even have tuned out the occasional screaming walls and nibbling rugs. But it wasn’t just their son.
Their daughter, the former light of their lives, was fading. They almost didn’t notice it at first. The first years of the Transcendence were tough for everyone involved; the parents put their observations, their misgivings on the back burner. It wasn’t until the twins’ sophomore year that they noticed anything was amiss. The glitter-cloud-bomb in a day-glo sweater that was their daughter wasn’t happy anymore.
She tried to cover it up, of course, but a sad Mable will always be a sad Mable, and her parents could tell. In fact, the only time their Mable was ever truly herself again was when she would talk about her friends in Gravity Falls.
The parents made a hard decision. That’s what parents do.

A/N: HAVE ANOTHER TAU PINES PARENTS FIC. YOU GUYS ARE GONNA KILL ME FOR THIS ONE I KNOW IT. Consider that a warning if you wish. Oh, and speaking of warnings: blood, death, gore, kidnapping and general terror – basically we’re riding the trauma train to the end of the line here.
Oh god, now I’m imagining Dipper reading The Mystery of Moon Ridge. The the first chapter or so is pretty decent, but as he gets further in –
“Mabel, I’m starting to get this weird vibe from the main character.”
“Mabel, she just killed the werewolf.”
“Mabel, this plot is terrible.”
“Mabel, why would Mom and Dad give me this book?”
“Mabel, do you think they’re trying to say something?”
