A Memory of a Pines
Chapter two
Bill floated through the field of asteroids that drifted aimlessly in the Nightmare Realm. Bill was mentally focused- deep in his internal endless thoughts.
What was I thinking? No, what am I thinking? I mean what is this, feeling I have? Ever since I first saw that girl something just- just has been making me want to protect her, teach her, care for her… of course I would never admit to any of my friends here about how I feel, I'd lose their loyalty. A demon who has feelings for a human? Who has ever heard of something as rambunctious or ridiculous as that? Phewh, I mean…I'm not complaining about it of course, how could I? She is compassionate for a human being unlike most of humanity who are cruel, insensitive, and selfish filth that deserved to be controlled and enslaved by my hand. But not her though, not Aurora Pines. So why? Why do I always go back to her? I always go back to her? Why though? Ugh this is soinfuriating! Huh…relax Cipher, no need to get riled up here. It's not like you love her or anything, right?
Bill stopped, hovering in the weightlessness of his realm. He pondered on that thought for a minute or two. Do I actually love her? Is it possible even for me to love? I mean I'm not a human, and I'll never will be, or will I? I can't foresee that far into the future, and I am only limited to events. That fluffy know it all's got me in a jam, of course he's always getting in my way. That's just what he does, I won't play your game you stupid fluffy know it all! You hear me!
Bill blinked. He can't hear you for one you're monologuing to yourself and two he probably off being his fluffy jerk self not really wanting to pay attention to you.
Bill sighed as he ran his hand down his flat surface. Once again Bill was off floating through the drifting asteroids.
Bill looked around his realm. The pocket dimension wasn't in serious peril of collapsing at the time, but Bill knew all too well that the dimension would fold in on itself eventually, and not even Bill himself -a demon who knew almost everything- could stop the slow decay of the wormhole reality that he had shaped in between dimensions. It made Bill have a prick of guilt that crossed the back of his mind. That had been happing more and more as of late.
These feelings are like heavy shackles, relentlessly holding me back from my goals. If I could only shatter them like the insignificant medal that they are made from. If only I could just push past these stupid feelings. But who am I kidding? I can't turn a blind eye to them, they'd sooner swallow me whole then I could forget them.
Bill's eye drifted away from the asteroid he was looking at.
A pink demon floated up next to him. "Hey there hot stuff." She purred next to him. Bill's hands lit up with blue flames as he turned to see Pyronica. He gave the pink female demon an annoyed look. "Oh, it's just you." He muttered sourly. "Oh don't be like that Bill, you're normally not as fowl when you see me. Tell you what, the boys and I'll cheer you up." Pyronica said giving Bill a nudge. "No really that's really not necessary, I can assure you." Bill replied holding his hands up in a "No thank you" matter. Pyronica grabbed his right arm and dragged him through the weightless realm. They came upon a set of ruins. "Hey, boys…our leader Bill here isn't himself let's give him a warm welcome home!" The pink demon said.
"I swear any of you try to welcome me back, or try to piss me off I won't hesitate to vaporise you and re construct your molecules. Have I made myself clear?" Bill scowled glaring at each henchmaniac in turn.
"Perfectly clear Bill." They replied in unison. They all knew that Bill wasn't kidding around when he threatened their lives. Bill had recruited each of them, saving them from the lives they had left behind. Bill was their leader and when he was unamused with their shenanigans he would voice his scornful wraith to a T. Pyronica along with 8-ball exchanged a look silently. Bill could tell that they only wanted to help but still he had to figure out these… "emotions" he felt on his own. Still though he admired their willingness to repay him for his hospitality of welcoming interdimensional criminals into his realm to join his plans for world domination.
But now that he thought about it, his love for Aurora, stood in the way of his plans. If she loves me like I love her…how I have chosen to abandon my path, of having someone build my portal to merge my realm to reality through the mindscape, what would these guys think of me? In their eyes, I'm suppose to be this emotionless, cruel, manipulative, triangle demon… I shouldn't be able love. Bill turned away from the creatures. "Do as you wish, I'm going to my chambers. Disturbed me with out good reason and I will unable to sit for weeks! Good day to you all." Bill said as he left the henchmaniacs behind him as he went off to the safety of his chambers.
Bill floated into the house merging threw the wall like he always did. The penthouse sweet. Or at least what he could muster in such a world of evil creatures, and oddities that somehow found their way into his realm. Bill sighed as he used his magic to pour himself something to drink. Once that was done he summoned the glass over to him and took it into his hand before taking a drink of it with his eye.
If I'm going to be teaching Aurora magic and more, where to start in her studies? Bill pondered. He looked around the room at the seas of books piled and or thrown around the room. He groaned and rolled his eye. Guess I've been slacking off with the spring cleaning? Bill thought rubbing his back with his hand embarrassed. With a simple snap of his fingers the room organized itself as if commanded by an invisible force. There, that was easy. Not a thing out of place now. Hum…no this spell takes some getting used to. You have to mix a levitation spell with an organization spell. Granted on their own they aren't to difficult to cast individually. That could work. However, a simple spell like mindfulness would be much easier. Thus, it helps to control and center magic before the caster can expel it. I think that's where we'll start off. If I've learned anything about when I got my powers and of my home, patience is a virtue. Rushing in is not.
With the idea in his head Bill set to work gathering information and putting a lesson plan together. He would teach Aurora as much as he could but there was one thing he had to swear to himself now before he went through with his training.
"I Bill Cipher… solemnly swear that I will never take possession of Aurora Pine's body, from now and forever more." Bill said aloud crossing his chest.
A/N: And with that chapter 2 comes to a close. Please let me know what you think. Writing for Triangle Bill is soooo hard. But I did so. And if you are enjoying this story I encourage you to check out my other Gravity Falls story "Bill Cipher's Return" Currently it has two chapters posted and the third is being written on my phone. I will usually work on writing the story twice a week or when I am able. The chapters are normally much, much longer as I have more character and storyline set up with that story then I do with this one. I also have a DeviantArt account where I post lots of Gravity Falls artworks that go along with both stories. So if you're interested in that Please go check that out my name on that account is hiccupandtoothless22 and you can also check me out on YouTube if you type into the search engine Dead boy walking and click on the video that has the human picture of Bill on it and you can go look through my channel with all the cool videos I make! Thanks again guys for showing your support it means the world to me, and I'll see you all in the next chapter!
