Author's Note: Hey guys! Ella here! Don't be too hard on me with this. It's my first Gravity Falls fan fiction but I did my research. Feel free to criticize me if you want though. Enjoy! Also, I had to repost this so...yay? Hope you like it, let me know in the comments! I can tell you from experience that most authors adore comments more than anything else!
Mabel: Uh, Ella! How could you forget! I even made you a sweater with the words sewn on to help you remember!
Me: *looks down at my sweater* Oh! Right! Uh, I do not own Gravity Falls or it's characters! I only own Ivory! Also, it will give you a description of what she looks like from Bill's point of view in the third chapter :3 Thanks Mabel.
Bill panicked as Dipper read the curse out of the Book of Oblivion. Blue lines of light stretched across the ground beneath the dream demon and crossed over each other, forming a pentagram. Ivory stared out across the field of chaos and terror. Her home had been practically torn apart by the seams all because of this…thing. And yet, she felt as though she was doing something cruel to him. Having to spend an eternity in a world of nothingness for all eternity, unable to escape, sounded downright horrible. It would be enough to drive any person insane. She shook the thought from her head. This was no person. This was a maniac with unrealistic powers whose goal was to destroy all that she and everyone else cared about.
She watched as Bill Cipher tried to get out of the pentagram, only to be shot back by magic. He couldn't get out while the curse was still being read. How, one may ask, did things come to this in the first place? Well, after Mabel had begun to feel responsible for hers and Dipper's parents death, she ran off to the woods alone. Unfortunately, that left her open and vulnerable to creatures of all sorts, or even worse, a deal loving demon able to tear the fabric of reality.
In her state of unhappiness, she blindly accepted the offer Bill proposed when he said he could bring their parents back. He did bring them back… but not in the way that she wanted. It would hurt anyone to have to kill their undead parents to prevent them from infecting everyone else. His side of the deal was that she wish him into the dimension physically so that he could roam freely and interact with everything. He left out the part where he would be tearing apart the town and reality.
Now, here he was, about to be sent into a dimension of nothingness and eternal silence. A place where no one would hear your screams or remember your face. A place where the very air you breath is merely an illusion to hide you from the horrifying truth. It was where he belonged. It was a place where his existence would mean nothing. After all, why should they care about his existence when he destroyed the lives of so many others. It wasn't their responsibility to worry about how this would effect him. Every entity and person has to pay for their evil deeds eventually and if Bill thought that he was any exception to this fact then he was dead wrong.
Dipper, Mabel, and the rest of the town had Ivory to thank for the curse to bring down their enemy. She had lived in Gravity Falls her entire childhood, leaving at the age of fifteen to go to a boarding school in New York. She was eighteen now, returning to her home despite the many other places she could go. There was no city or monument to compare to the company of her old family and friends. Unfortunately, she had been reintroduced to one of the flaws of the old town. She was not blind to the fact that there was something off about the place she called 'home' when she was younger. Strange things occurred though she'd never had the chance to thoroughly investigate it.
In the last two months since she'd returned, she found that she didn't need to anymore. Her cousins Dipper and Mabel Pines were more than happy to fill her in on all the strange things they had encountered. And then their parents were reported to have died in a car crash about a few weeks later. Then… all of this happened. People were hurt, friends were terrified, lives were ruined. It was enough to make Ivory angry, vengeful. She had a secret no one else did, a book of curses that had been past down from her ancestors to her. The Book of Oblivion. She'd held on to it for years, not giving it up despite the many offers from people who wished to buy the ancient works and some who even tried to steal it. Through all this, she held on to it.
Now, they were going to use it to practically destroy Bill Cipher once and for all. He knew it too. "Dipper! Please! You have no idea what you're doing!" He shouted.
Dipper didn't listen, knowing that if he broke concentration or stopped reading for even a second, the curse would fail and give the dream demon the chance he needed to escape. "Hecti florish sui-monoterri-"
The fluent words rolled off his tongue as he spoke and Bill continued to try and escape. He was completely and utterly panicked by this point at the realization that it wasn't working. Who wouldn't be? An eternity in oblivion would drive anyone insane. "Please! I'll give you anything you want! Money, fame, anything!"
It was odd and uncharacteristic to hear Bill Cipher begging in such a way which immediately told Ivory, as if she hadn't already known, that this was serious. Mabel hugged her, burying her face into her to shield her eyes and mind from what was happening. Even though she knew what needed to be done, it pained her. Mabel was always a sweet child; she never liked seeing anyone get hurt, no matter how horrible the person/entity.
"Almish secti franta hiroshi!" Dipper shouted the last of the incantation and a crack of lightening burst from the sky, hitting the pentagram which had encased Bill Cipher like a dome.
There was a sudden agonizing cry of pain and fear as the lightening struck. The wind picked up around the dome trap, whirling around it like a loose tornado. Leaves and debris were picked up and began circling it. No one could see what was happening inside the dome and at this point, they didn't want to know.
Dipper backed away with wide eyes, closing the book and retreating towards a broken log which had fallen to the ground. He, Ivory, and Mabel darted behind it for cover from the magic produced storm. Ivory held the twins close, covering them like a shelter for any possible debris that might come flying at them at any moment. There was no doubt that the rest of the town knew something was going down but it was doubtful that any of them would suspect it to be the twins and their recently returned resident. Except for Uncle Stan who had told them not to get involved with any of it. A little late now.
The storm raged on for a full three minutes before suddenly, there was a loud BURST of magic that shot outwards from the pentagram and everything ceased. Mabel, Dipper, and Ivory felt the magic shoot past them, blowing their hair in that direction before the wind died down and all they were left with was the silence and the occasional drop of debris.
Slowly and cautiously, Ivory lifted her head up and peeked over the side of the tree trunk. A lot of smoke and dust was kicked up into the air but it was all slowly beginning to settle. The twins followed, looking out to see the tainted brown and smoky grey air clearing. There was silence… so much silence. It almost seemed impenetrable. The twins gave nervous expressions before crawling out over the log and waving away the smoke. Ivory stepped forward slowly, coughing as she waved the dust and smoke away from her face. There was only one thing going to everyone's minds… Is it over?
The dust and smoke cleared some more to where you could make out the outlines of the pentagram burned into the earth and… a figure. There shouldn't have been a figure in the middle of the pentagram and even if there was, anything living would've been burnt to a crisp. Ivory knew this and it unnerved her. For a while, she considered the utterly horrifying, yet possible, chance that something had gone wrong and Bill was still there. The only thing that made her question that theory was the fact that the silhouette of this figure was much bigger than the demonic triangle that they had fought. It was big enough to be human.
As the rest of the air quickly cleared enough so that she could see, she couldn't help the gasp of horror that escaped her. Her, Dipper's, and Mabel's blood suddenly ran cold. Ivory's eyes settled on the figure lying in the center of the pentagram, seemingly unconscious.
A man with blond hair, wearing a golden coat, black pants, top hat, and a cane which was discarded several feet away from him. Things just got a little more complicated…
