Gravity Falls: Return of Cipher
Chapter 1: Prologue
L
My time has come to burn!
I invoke the ancient power
That I may return!
Sixty degrees that come in threes.
He had made his likeness known throughout history. The Egyptians had made huge sculptures of him. That George Washington guy put him on currency. Nobody would forget him.
Watches from within birch trees.
From what he could tell, they had planted birch trees around his statue. They had grown in only a couple of months. He wasn't sure if that was because of him, or Gravity Falls in general.
Saw his own dimension burn.
He didn't regret it. He wanted to destroy his dimension. They knew all his secrets. Earth knew only some.
Misses home and can't return.
He didn't miss them though. He didn't need a home. He had the nightmare realm. He didn't need family. He had his friends.
Says he's happy. He's a liar.
He wasn't sad. He couldn't get sad or lonely.
Blame the arson for the fire.
Everyone blamed him. He didn't care. He wore the crime like a medal.
If he wants to shirk the blame,
Sure, sometimes he wished he hadn't done it. So, he had asked the Axolotl what to do.
He'll have to invoke my name.
He'd invoked the stupid thing's name alright. At the very point of his death.
One way to absolve his crime.
He was stuck in his stupid statue. His stupid, stupid statue.
A different form, a different time.
Waiting, just waiting, for somebody to shake his hand.
"I'll give you 5 dollars if you shake its hand."
The two teenagers stood in front of the triangular statue. How it got there, they didn't know. Something told them it wasn't a pretty story.
"5 whole dollars. Shake its hand, go on," the taller one repeated.
"10 dollars," the shorter one replied.
"Deal."
The shorter teen reached out and shook the statue's hand.
Later, police found the teens dead. A look of terror was etched on their faces. The statue was gone.
Bill Cipher was watching the scene, hidden. His smile would terrify the bravest of men. Although he looked like a human, he still had his powers. Now, to find Stanley and Stanford Pines.
I am so glad I managed to do this! This is my first Gravity Falls fanfic! The chapters might be short, so don't say I didn't warn you!
