Author's Note's: Chapter 10 here we go!
(Back with Dipper...)
He should have known that this was going to be a bad idea…
Dipper shivered in the cold early morning air as he treaded though the woods, towards his unknown destination. Part of him knew this was a mistake, but the other part of him wanted to stop this monster before it struck again!
'And I can't stop him if I don't know what he did!' Dipper reasoned with himself as he continued to follow the monster's lead through the thick woodland around him.
'Turn left there should be a road here.' The monster snickered.
Dipper obeyed, but cautiously. He couldn't explain it but he knew something was up! He stepped out of the woods and onto the side walk, he froze; he knows this street. He looks left and sees it, an off white house surrounded by cop cars, he knows the house.
'Hey that's Amy's house.' Dipper realized.
Amy was a girl who had been a thorn in Mabel's side for years, always taunting her, and making fun of her for her unique personality.
'What happened here?' He wondered.
'Isn't it obvious?' The monster asked. 'You killed them, don't you remember?'
Suddenly something catches Dipper's eyes, it's yet another message on the front door; written in blood.
'4 more, and 6 to go…'
Four? That would mean that Amy's Parents and her little sister-
Suddenly a small little girl flashes from the back of Dipper's mind, he bends over in shock as the vision takes over him completely.
He sneaks through her front door to see her, a small little girl pouring herself a glass of water. He's breathing heavily, she must have heard him, because she turns to face him; her eyes falling on his knife.
The girl screams and he lunges for her, pushing her to the ground and stabbing her repeatedly.
Dipper falls to his knees rasping for breath, but no air will come; he watches as new images flash before him.
Amy's parents rushing down the stairs yelling in horror at the act he had done, the girl's father makes a move for him; he never makes it another step forward. Instead he's levitated into the air, and his body soon bends in impossible ways. His wife screams to the sound of his cracking bones.
"Mom what's going on?" Amy cried as she runs up to her mother's side. She looks straight at Dipper, stunned. "You!"
"Run Amy, get out of here!" her mother screams and charges for him. Amy obeys her mother and runs out of sight.
Her mother isn't lucky enough to get to follow her, instead she soon meets the same fate as her husband.
Dipper watches as he sees three bright orbs arise from the dead bodies; he knows it's their souls and he devours them in seconds.
Than he's running after someone outside, it's Amy she must have gotten out of the house somehow, not that it mattered for he caught up to her in seconds. He grabs her by the hair, she's screaming, begging for her life; he shows her no mercy.
Dipper watches as he rips her head off with his bare hands, and takes her soul.
'See I told you it was you.' The monster chuckled as the vision cleared.
"No you…you're trying to trick me…" Dipper tried his best to form the words.
"Son are you alright?" an officer had noticed him from the scene, and came to his aid. "Kid you're not looking so well is there someone I can call?"
'Hey kid looks like there finally here to put you away.' The monster chuckled.
"No you're wrong!" Dipper screamed, holding his hands to his ears; trying to keep himself from hearing the monsters laughter. "You're wrong! You're wrong!"
"Kid calm down it's okay." The officer does his best to calm him down, but Dipper isn't listening; he can't hear anything over that horrible laughter. The officer tried to get his hands around the boy, in hopes of keeping him from hurting himself.
Dipper screams, his fear and anxiety takes over as he struggles to get free.
"Can someone help me over here?" The officer calls.
Several more officer's rush over. "What's going on?" One asked.
"He just started screaming." The first officer answered. "He won't calm down." Several of the officers do their best to help hold Dipper still, but the teen isn't having it. "Maybe he saw something." An officer suggested.
"Yes he could be in shock! Someone give him a sedative!" The first officer ordered.
Dipper screams, but stops as something pokes into his skin; his world begins to spin around him.
'Nighty night kid.' The monster coed.
And that's when Dipper's world went black.
(Back with Ford an hour later…)
He hadn't expected it to start going downhill so quickly… So when he got the call he was more than a little surprised.
"What Dipper's in the hospital?! What happened?" Ford exclaimed into the phone, and breathed heavily as Dipper's mother went on to explain.
"Something really bad is going on, someone's killing kids Stanford."
"Oh My god." Ford rasped in disbelief.
"And worse Dipper and Mabel know both families, and it's having a really bad effect on Dipper. I'm so scared, I don't think it's safe for them over here anymore." Dipper's mother was crying hysterically.
"I know what you mean, but maybe we can help." Ford told her. "Send the twins back here until it's safe, we'll enroll them in school over here. And maybe some distance from all this will help Dipper with his anxiety."
"Oh thank you, I don't know what I'd do without you." Dipper's mother said through sniffles. "I'll have Mabel pack their bags right away, and as soon as Dipper is released will send them home with you."
"Stan and I will drive over there immediately!" Ford assured her.
"Okay be safe." She told him.
"You too, goodbye." Ford hung up the phone, only to pick it back up; and with a heavy sigh he dialed a number.
He heard three rings and then… "Hello?"
"Michel it's me Ford, I have some news." Ford rasped.
"What is it?" Michel asked.
"It's Dipper, he's in trouble." Ford tried his best to keep the panic out of his voice.
"How bad is it?" Michel asked.
"So bad that his mother is practically begging me to bring the kids back here until this all blows over." Ford exclaimed.
"Then it's starting." Michel whispered.
"I'm afraid so." Ford rasped once more.
"Do you think it's Bill?" Michel asked.
"Let's hope not." Ford advised. "Cause if it is…"
"Then we can only hope fate shows mercy on us all." Michel said gravely.
Ford couldn't have agreed more.
(Some time after that…)
Dipper moaned as he opened his eyes slowly, he wasn't expecting the face that he saw looming over him. "Uncle Ford?"
"Dipper my boy your up." Ford looked relieved.
"What…what happened?" Dipper asked.
"We were hoping you could tell us that young man."
Dipper turned to see the Doctor walking in followed by an officer. "I…I don't remember."
"You were on the side of the road, screaming." The officer said. "You gave us quiet a scare."
"I saw…I saw…" Dipper tried to form the words, but they wouldn't come.
The officer's eyes widen. "Oh you pour boy…" He whispered.
"What." Ford exclaimed. "What is it?"
"Well we searched the woods that your nephew came out of and we found a body…" The officer didn't seemed to be able to finish. "It…was…it was the most gruesome killing I ever saw."
"Oh Dipper I was so worried!" Dipper's mother exclaimed as she, his father, and Mabel came rushing in.
Dipper flinched slightly as his mother embraced him.
"What were you thinking? How did you even get out of the house?" His mother exclaimed.
"I…don't-" he stopped as he noticed Mabel, it was obvious that she had been crying. "Mabel I'm so sorry." He whispered.
"They closed the school early, there will be a memorial service for Amy and her family." Mabel mumbled.
Dipper was stunned, Amy had done nothing but bully Mabel since kindergarten, and yet her she was crying over her death. "I'm sorry..." he repeated.
"Just promise me you'll stop scaring us like this!" Mabel declared as she wrapped her arms around him tight.
Dipper hugged her back. "I'll try…" He promised.
"Son we know this isn't your fault." His father said, as Mabel pulled away. "You can't help but get worked up by all this."
"That's why you and Mabel are going to go back home with us." Stan said as he appeared with a couple of sodas.
"We're going back to Gravity Falls?" Dipper asked, stunned.
"Just until this case blows over." His father explained.
"Case?" Dipper asked.
"Yes that's seven murders in two days." The officer informed them. "We believe we might have a real sick killer on our hands."
"We're going to go ahead and in roll you in school over there." His mother explained. "And depending on how long it takes for all of this to blow over you just might end up finishing off the year over there."
"O…ok." Dipper was even more beyond words than before, they were going back to Gravity Falls! He knew he should feel relieved to be getting away from all this, but somehow he knew that this is exactly what the monster wanted.
"Alright well Dipper needs more sleep if we're going to clear him for discharge tomorrow morning." The Doctor cut in.
"Ok you get some sleep champ." Stan ordered. "And we'll see you again around dinner."
Dipper looked up at the clock on the wall and noticed that it was only 12 in the afternoon.
"We'll be back soon." Mabel said hugging him again.
Dipper hugged her back. "I'm sorry." He whispered once more.
Mabel found it strange that he kept apologizing, what did he have to be sorry for? It wasn't his fault that two people they knew were dead.
'Sill…'
Mabel forced the thought away, but it was if some higher power was forcing her to think this treacherous thought.
'It is strange that the victims are families of people who bully me and Dipper…'
It was a chilling thought to say the least, but Mabel pushed it away all the same; besides it was just a big coincidence….Right?
Bill Cipher chuckled to himself as he watch Shooting Star and the rest of the Pines rats leave his prey to stew alone in his hospital bed. Come tomorrow morning they'd all be on their way back to Gravity Falls.
Yes everything was going according to plan, and Soon Bill would be able to return to his physical form; but the demon would be a fool to ignore the obvious.
'Pretty soon Pine Tree is going to be on to me, and then I'll lose control.' He told himself. 'I need to find away to make him mine for good.'
His eye zeroed in on Shooting Star as she walked away. He could see the wheels turning in her mind, she knew something was up; and in the back of her head she was suspecting Dipper of knowing more than he was letting on.
'She thinks it's pretty suspicious that their two bullies are now dead.' Bill realized. 'Maybe I can use her suspicions to force the twins apart.'
Yes it was perfect, they'd argue; than Mabel would do something stupid that would ultimately get her in trouble. Than Dipper would do anything to save her!
'And then he'll be mine!'
Yes everything was working according to plan, It was only a matter of time…
