Chapter 2- No Christmas Miracle
25th December 2013
It's Christmas day, three days before my birthday. I'm at my house alone as always. I should probably explain that. My parents were well off and they had bought the house and paid for lifetime insurance and stuff. In their will they left the house to me and their money. My Grandma lived with me and looked after everything for me which was nice. We didn't have a big house but it was home. "Olivia! The Pines kids have come to see you!" My Grandma calls from downstairs. I put the book under my pillow and run downstairs. "Hi Olivia! Merry Christmas! Bla!" Mabel smiles. She was wearing her signature shooting star sweater and Dipper was wearing his Pine Tree hat. I put on my coat and grab their presents. "Christmas dinner at the Pines then?" I ask. "Wouldn't have it any other way," Dipper says. I pass him his present and Mabel hers. They give me my present. "A sweater!" Mabel grins, "And smile dip! Yes!" Dipper shakes his head and opens his. "Wow. It's a book…" I had made a replica of the book I found because I knew how much it meant to him. "Where did you find it?" Dipper asks. "Outside my house. I knew how much you liked it and thought you'd want it back. I fixed it up though because it was torn and broken," I answer. "Thanks. You... You have no idea how great this is," Dipper stutters. I smirk and open my present. It's a picture of my parents. My eyes turn a confusing mixture of green and purple. "I… Thanks," I mutter and give the photo to my Grandma. "Let's go," I state, leaving no room for discussion. They understand my not wanting to talk about it and we walk out.
Mabel P.O.V
Did we get her the right thing? I don't think so. Her eyes are green but purple. So is she happy or sad? I don't know. Mmmm smile dip. What was I saying? Oh yeah the sweater is perfect! It's a shooting star one just like my other one but it has different colours. Christmas is going to be so much fun! Especially because I'm hyper on smile dip!
Stan P.O.V
Stanley won't stop pestering me every time I go down there. I just don't want to tell him yet. At least it's Christmas and I can look after the kids for a day and not go visit him. I love my brother don't get me wrong but thinking about that day…. It makes me feel so guilty and evil. Like I'm worse than Gideon or even Bill Cipher himself! Glad the little brat is in jail. As for the triangle, he's stuck in whatever dimension he came from. Cipher. Even his name is evil. Cipher as in deception. I shake my head and wonder.
Gideon P.O.V
I'll be out of jail soon enough. My old man visited me a while ago but without my book. Journal number two. I need that book. As soon as I have it, I can summon Bill and he can get me out of here. He gives me the creeps but it'll be worth it. Especially to see my marshmallow again. Mabel. My love. I'll be with you soon enough.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
Two days, 10 hours, 21 minutes and 36 seconds. That is how long I have till I show up. I have found the spell. Now all I need is a present. Why am I doing this? I feel guilty. I've felt guilt only a few times in my immortal life. I'd rather not share. If I can clear my conscience then maybe my powers will become stronger. I cannot seem to control them at the moment. I draw back just before I use them as if I am afraid. I am Bill Cipher! I shouldn't be afraid! Nothing can possibly hurt me! Not even the pesky Pines twins! "AHAHAHA!" my laughter fills the air and echoes around me. It's funny, how I once could be so easily manipulated by pain, now it just allows me to feel something. I like to feel emotions. Emotions I used to have but now barely ever feel anything. Ahh mortal feelings. So cute. So sweet.
Olivia P.O.V
We arrived at the Mystery Shack. Soos and Wendy weren't there as they both had other plans. "Hey kids!" Stan said and rubbed Dippers head. "Grunkle Stan!" Dipper groaned. My eyes turned purple and I smiled. Mabel giggled and sat at the table. "um I couldn't get turkey and that kind of thing so who's for some pancakes?" Stan asked. "Me!" We all say in unison. Stan chuckles and passes us all some pancakes. Mabel drenches hers in syrup and starts eating. Dipper puts some syrup on his and sits down next to his sister. I grab some sugar and sprinkle it on my pancakes and sit opposite Mabel. "Merry Christmas!" I smile. "Merry Christmas!" The twins chime.
Time skip
I sit on my bed and pick up the book. Placing my hand on the gold six fingered hand, I open the book nervously. I had begun reading it and still can't find the page that might say who took my parents. Bored, I put the book down and lay down thinking. "Two more days. Two more days and I turn fourteen," I mutter. The Pines twins had only turned thirteen a few months ago. It felt weird being the oldest but I'm used to it. Oh well. Staring at the ceiling, I fall asleep.
Thank you people who fav and follow this story. Thanks BillCipher5 for the review of 'me likey.' In capital letters. I'll try to update tomorrow but I have rowing (I do rowing club twice a week for 2 hours per session if you didn't know) and a family dinner. I'll probably update tomorrow or Monday because it's the summer holidays and I have time to stay up till midnight +. See you soon! AroraEarthIcefire out!
