The crickets croaked, the wind blew through the tees, the clouds moved slowly over the moonlit sky, and the blood stained the grass.
Dipper watched as blood soaked his cloths and the Surrounding area, laying in the forest alone, he had been out looking for a new monster he had seen the other day, in the end, it found him before he found it. Making a sizable gash on his stomach and calf, ' I'm going to die out here..this wasn't supposed to happen..home is too far away to walk to in this condition..and I have to phone. Damn it! I'm so stupid! ' he thought to himself, regret showing in his face as he looked up to the stars above, thinking of his sister. He soon began to feel guilty, ' what will she do without me? '
furrowing his brows, Dippers breathing began to strain, making his chest hurt with each breath, he was loosing feeling now, it won't be long till he's dead. his eyelids soon felt heavy and he began to give in, closing his eyes and drifting off into the abyss, and just as he was ready to die, an all too familiar voice sounded from above him, " hey there pine tree!, what'cha doing down there? " he said in a tone much too cheery, Dipper didn't respond, nor did he open his eyes, that seemed to get to Bill, moments later he felt cold hands on his neck, checking for a pulse * ba-dump...ba-dump * his pulse was slow but there.
" Alright kid, you seem in need of help, and I need a favor, let's make a deal hm? " he said, his voice calm " Dipper? " the boy opened his eyes to his name, seeing the familiar triangle demon " Come on, what do you say? I'll heal you. you get to see Mabel, and Wendy, and the rest of your family, and in return I get a favor, Deal? " the Demon said, putting his hand out, blue flames engulfed it seconds later, " Bill..you must be insane to think i'd make a deal with you. " Dipper said, glaring at the demon " i already am kid! haha! " Bill said, snapping his fingers to reveal a large clock behind him " that's your time limit, when the clock rings you'll be dead. and all your family and friends will never be able to see you again, what would Mable do without you? ..oh, she'd be crushed. you wouldn't do that to her, right? " he said with a grin, " though, i wouldn't mind seeing you die, without you i'd have an easier time getting out of this hell hole. the choice is yours kid, tik tok ~ "
Torn between life and death Dipper closed his eyes, hearing the clock tik, each time getting loader ' this is for Mabel..and Gravity falls. ' he thought, using his last ounce of strength he reached out to grab Bills hand, giving it a half-heartedshake, a bright blue glow lit up the forest around them, Dipper raised an arm to shield his eyes, after the light had left, he lowered his hand, glaring at the forest as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, seeing that Bill was nowhere to be found, Dipper got up, feeling a little weak but besides that fine, he examined his chest and stomach, finding no scar, but a marking in place of it, it had some strange writing and a triangle in the center, when he touched it, it glowed golden, he gasped and pulled his hand away, still in slight shock of what had happened, he took a shaky breath and made his way home.

Dipper laid in bed, getting home near 2:00 A.M, he looked to Mabel and smiled, seeing her sleeping soundly, he had a lot of questions for Bill, he knew as soon as he closed his eyes he'd see him, and, doing just that, he closed his eyes, falling asleep near instantly.
Waking up in a colorless world, he looked around for Bill, seeing him flouting not far off, also Dipped noted that Bill was no longer a triangle, he was human, Bill noticed him and came closer, " ah Pine tree, there you are, I was wondering when you'd show " he said with a mischievous grin on his face, " yeah..okay Bill, what do you want? I know you didn't just save me out of your good graces " said Dipper, crossing his arms
" settle down kid, I don't want much...just for you to be my "slave" so to say for a little while " Dippers eyes widened, being enslaved to Bill could mean anything! for all he knows he could take his body again!, Dipper began to get nervous " okay..what do I need to do? " he asked. " hmm, well for starters, it's been sometime since I had a body. " said the demon, giving Dipper an evil smile.
' What have I gotten myself into?..'
