Chapter 1: The Truth
Will woke up covered in sweat, the last moments of the nightmare already seeping away from his foggy brain. He took off his blankets and placed his feet on the floor, his brother snored softly in his own bed, unaware of his brother's turmoil. He got up and padded towards the bathroom, the lights blinded him when he turned them on and he rubbed his eyes as they adjusted. He turned on the cold tap, splashing his face with water, peering at the mirror, Will noticed his blue hair was a mess, his eyes ringed with dark circles. Uncle Ford had noticed he hadn't been sleeping well, he had even asked him what was wrong. Nightmares, just nightmares he had said but he knew the truth, they weren't nightmares he was having, they were memories, his Uncle knew something was up. Will was now 15 as was his brother, they were getting older.
He turned off the lights to the bathroom and went back to bed, his brother was muttering something about pumpkins, Will giggled quietly before slipping back under the cover of his bed and closing his eyes.
The next morning Will slept in, Uncle Ford woke him up around midday "Come on kid, I know you need to sleep, but you can't stay in bed all day"
"I know Uncle Ford, but the nightmares just keep me awake"
"These are getting out of hand Will, can you please tell me about them?"
"Maybe later Uncle Ford, I need a shower"
Uncle Ford looked at him wearily but let him leave, the shower woke him up a little. Will towel dried his hair as he walked into the kitchen, Bill was already eating lunch "Hey Bro! Hows it?"
"Good"
"Don't lie to me Blueberry, you look like shit"
Will laughed "Yeah but at least I had a shower Corn Chip"
"Hey I'll have one, just not today, and why Corn Chip?"
"Gross Bill, And I don't know, just sounded right" said Will sheepishly.
Bill sniggered, Uncle Ford came into the kitchen carrying what appeared to be a dead mutated opossum, "Gross what is that!" Bill complained "An opossum who thought it would be fun to take a dip in toxic waste"
Bill laughed "What a dumb animal" he said.
Will sat at the table and Ford came back a few moments later with a grim look on his face, carrying Journal 3, he placed it on the table carefully. "Okay you two, I have something I need to tell you, its something about your past, and your not gonna like it, it will explain Wills nightmares a lot, when you two first came here you remembered your past, then you just forgot it, you became regular kids"
"What do you mean regular kids?" asked Bill narrowing his eyes, Ford opened the journal, "I met you Bill a long time ago, but then you were different, you were this guy" Ford showed Bill the page of Bill Cipher, Bills eyes widened "No..." he muttered grabbing the book, "When were you gonna tell us we use to be fucking demons!" he yelled flinging the book at Will "Here Will look! He called me a monster! HOW COULD YOU!" Bill stood up, the chair flung to the floor "Bill wait, let me explain!" Ford said, Bills eyes flashed yellow and for a second Ford saw the demon that Bill had once been, "How dare you lie to us all these years, how dare you keep this a secret from me! From him!" Bill added pointing at his brother, he yanked the book from Will's hand "I'm going for a walk"
He raced outside, Ford followed "WAIT BILL PLEASE! LET ME EXPLAIN! GIVE ME TIME TO EXPLAIN!" Bill stopped and looked back, his hand burst into blue flame "EXPLAIN WHAT!? THAT YOU HATED ME!? THAT YOU WANTED ME DEAD! YOU WERE SCARED OF ME!" tears burst from Bills eyes, he finally noticed the flames, "I am. a. fucking. Demon. Uncle. Ford!" he held up the journal, "NO!" yelled Ford reaching out for it, Bill set it a light, it was dust in seconds, Bill ran into the forest sobbing, his brother crying on the porch, Gideon Gleeful grinned from behind a tree, he pulled out a walkie talkie "The Triangle is back boys, bring it around back"
"Copy that Agent Gleeful, Copy that"
Gideon went after Bill.
