Chapter 9: Real or Make Believe
A familiar feeling pulled Dipper from his sleep and down to the bathroom. He sleepily stumbled back into the bedroom. He jumped slightly, seeing William sitting up in bed, the moonlight catching on William's blue eye.
"Hi William...did you have a bad dream or something?" Dipper asked sleepily, he rubbed his eyes trying to see a bit clearer. When he looked up again William was right in his face, which caused Dipper to jump back.
"Who is Bill?" The voice that would turn anyone's blood to ice came from William, Dipper shuddered a bit.
"Nobody." He answered quickly. William made a face that told Dipper that he didn't believe him. Dipper rubbed his hand through his hair.
"Nobody?" a shimmer behind William's hair caught Dippers attention, his eyebrow rose in curiosity. Dipper looked towards Mabel when suddenly his back collided with the bookcase. Dipper looked towards William, bewildered.
'He did not just push me.' A look of anger and disgust was plastered on Williams face. His blue eye glowed slightly in the dim light. "What the hell is your problem?" Hands lassoed around Dipper's neck.
"I. Am. NOT. Nobody. Pine Tree." William's voice contorted into the familiar shrill one that hunted Dipper's dreams.
"I knew it."
"Yeah picked right up on my scent like the good little sniffer dog you are." The fingers clenched tighter.
"I'll tell everyone who yo-!" A hand pressed down on Dipper's mouth.
"Shh~ wouldn't want to wake Shooting Star now would we. As for telling everyone who I am…" A light chuckle escaped. "No one will believe you." He whispered darkly. "By morning this will all seem like a bad dream. A concocted event to make poor William into the bad guy to set your mind at ease. Everyone already trusts me. You, on the other hand, are being deemed the bad guy." Dipper ripped his face away from the hand.
"That's a lie."
"Oh? Ask Shooting Star, ask Wendy, ask Soos, none of them trust you anymore, at least not as much as they did, not after that outburst in the gift shop." Dipper shook his head, not believing him.
"Mabel's my sister she will always love me."
"We'll see about that. Until then, sweet dreams." The eye behind the lock of hair began to glow golden and then slowly faded to bright white. "Remember, Reality is an Illusion, the Universe is a hologram, buy gold. Bye~!" The light intensified till it was blinding. Dipper bolted up off of the pallet on the floor. Sunrays peeked through the window, he looked towards Mabel then to his bed. William slept curled up in a ball on Dipper's bed.
'Was it all a dream?' Dipper laid his head down on the pillow. He couldn't distinguish what was real and what was a dream anymore. 'Am I …am I going mad?'
