Previously...
She frowned, "Would teaching me magic do anything to help?"
"... Maybe. They don't have their mystical amulets, so... they don't have any of their own magic... so, maybe..." He admitted, "We can start tomorrow. Near noon. You can bring Dipper along, too... and Ford. Ford probably knows a bit, from him, but... I'm not sure."
She nodded, getting up, "Okay..."
...
A voice called out from the darkness, "You're not hurting anyone."
That's the last thing they could hear, before pieces of styrofoam covered their mouths, knocking them out.
The next thing they saw was darkness. They soon realized that they were all tired to metal chairs, with metal chains. They could hear the swooshing as fire, as they realized the metal was getting hotter... someone had set the metal on fire. The fire was yellow.
...
Someone was in the room with them, they realized, as they noticed light blue eyes in front of them. They heard the door lock, and then mumbling, "You're not hurting them again."
"Well, look who it is. Will. I'm not surprised." Stanford laughed, "What do you want?"
Will smiled, "I'm mostly here for Mason, but... all three of you will do."
"Do for what?" Star asked, the burning chair already making them all feel hot.
Will laughed, "For an experiment. I wonder... what would you do if I enslaved you three, as you did to me? Would you try to run? It'd be adorable if you tried. I might as well wipe your minds from basic thoughts, so that you'd never disobey, but... I digress. You might as well keep some part of your humanity. I'm not a bad person, after all."
"What'd I do?" Mason asked, confused, "I didn't do anything especially bad."
Will grinned, "That's a secret."
A FEW HOURS LATER...
Aurora frowned, looking over at him, "Why did you take me away from my love?"
"Aurora, Stanford is a horrible man. You shouldn't be with him. Besides, he's old, so... he'll probably die soon," He sighed.
Will walked over to them holding three chains, "Not yet, anyway."
"What did you do?! Stanford! Stanford, wake up!" Aurora shouted, shaking the old man.
Will sighed, "Nothing... yet. Relax Aurora, he's not dead... but he will be."
"Wha- No! You're not hurting him!" Aurora frowned.
Will looked down, "I know... I'm sorry... I can't exactly help it."
"What? Why?" Aurora asked.
He sighed, "That doesn't exactly matter to you."
"Okay..." Aurora sighed, not wanting to say anything else.
He pulled Will away from Aurora, having them be alone, he sighed," Just... try to hide it from everyone else. They... won't know. I'll help you with this stuff."
"How about this? We have a secret code word between the two of us, for anytime I'm mad or want to hurt something, anything similar, where you'll take me outside and we can just go kill some forest animals. The mythical ones, of course, being off limits," Will offered, smiling.
He smiled, "Alright, so what will the code word be?"
"Wicca. That would be alright, right?" Will asked.
He nodded, "Yeah, Wicca is an okay code word. It's not obvious, and... they'd probably not ask us about it."
"Hopefully."
