Chapter 1: Discovery

Dipper followed his sister into the forest, keeping close to the shadows as not to be seen. Mabel stopped quite suddenly at the edge of a clearing "Bill?" she whispered loudly, Dippers heart raced, Bill! He was back!?

"I haven't moved, please tell me you brought the medicine?" the weak sickly sounding voice came from behind the old statue of Bill, Mabel went over, Dipper scuttled around the edge of the clearing to see Bill.

He was human, around 14, so his and Mabel's age, that's the first thing he noticed. The second was how pale he looked, sickly, his cheeks red, his eyes like a raccoon, he must not of been sleeping. The third was the old scars that covered his arms and legs, old ancient ruins carved into his skin, and dots pockmarked the slightly tanned complexion, it was rather scary. Mabel pulled open her backpack, taking out a bottle of water and some fruit "Here you need to eat"

Bill shook his head, he gave a look of disgust "Not hungry"

"You need to Bill, it will help"

Bill started coughing, blood dribbling down his chin, Mabel just rubbed his back.

Mabel opened the bottle of water and Bill chugged it down "Slowly"

"Sorry" Bill said,

"Its okay"

"I'm dying aren't I? Mabel?"

"No, your not" she said taking out some pills, "Here some aspirin for the pain"

"Please don't let me die Mabel, please" he looked scared.

"I promise Bill, its gonna be okay" She looked at her phone "I have to go, ill be back tomorrow, eat the fruit, take the pills, stay safe"

"Thank you so much"

Mabel hugged him, "Ill be back I promise"

Dipper watched Mabel leave, Bill sighed, he wiped his face with the blanket, leaving a red mark. Mabel had given him a few things. He was sweating and shaking, he picked up the fruit, sniffed it and, put it back down. He took the pills and curled up, coughing, he was really sick, he felt sorry for him.

Dipper high tailed it out of there, rushing to catch up to Mabel.
