Yay next chapter. I'm going to try and finish this before the end of the summer holidays but if I can't I'll try to finish it ASAP anyway so regular uploads will now be a thing. Now with the story.
Chapter 3- Birthday Bill
December 28th 2013
It's my birthday and the anniversary of my parents' disappearance. I sigh and get dressed, putting on my favourite jacket and some jeans. Lacing up my high tops, I brace myself for either presents or Grandma mourning. "Olivia you have a visitor!" I hear Grandma call. Shocked, I wonder who it could be, as Dipper and Mabel weren't supposed to come for ages.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
I waited for the time to be right and prepared the spell. "In mortali immortalis, daemon in forma hominis," I say the words in Latin as the spell instructed. I feel my triangular body shift and become 3D again. I float to the mirror and see that I am a man around 18 wearing a yellow suit, a bowtie and my top hat. Fixing my bowtie, I stop floating and stand like a mortal. "Hello my name is Bill," I test realising my voice is the same high pitch but with less echo. "Now what to say. I can't possibly say I'm Bill Cipher or the Pines kids will know for certain it's me. Bill what?" I ponder. I click my fingers and a book appears with mortal surnames. "Regular surnames. Smith, no. Brown, no. Oh forget it I won't tell her my surname. If the kid asks I'll just make it up," I sigh. Teleporting to Gravity Falls, I walk along the main path towards the kid's house.
Dipper P.O.V
Me and Mabel had just finished preparations for Olivia's surprise party. "I hope she likes it," I smile. "She should. I think it needs something. I know!" Mabel pulls out a tub of glitter and does the spin around thing that she always does. "Ok you can use some glitter just don't put it-" Mabel sprinkles lots everywhere "-everywhere…" I sigh. "Calm down Dipping sauce it'll be fine, we do this every year!" Mabel reminds me. "I know. But last year we didn't have to deal with monsters and Gideon and Bill," I mutter. "Ok, ok you made your point. It'll be ok Dip. She'll love it," Mabel says. I nod and get back to work.
Olivia P.O.V
I run downstairs and see a man in a hat and a yellow suit leaning against the doorway into my house. "Who's he?" I ask, confused. "Ask him yourself and don't be so rude! I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything," Grandma yells, already in the kitchen.
I study the man curiously. His hair appears to have never even seen a comb in its life but it does look cool. The top hat is weird but it works with the bowtie and suit. "Hi. So who the hell are you?" I tilt my head to the side in question. The man straightens his bowtie and holds out his hand to me. "I'm Bill. Nice to meet you kid," He replies. Tentatively, I shake his hand. "A, not a kid I'm fourteen. B, how do you know me? C, Bill who? Surely you have a surname," I say. He draws back slightly for a few seconds. "Ahahahaha," Bill laughs. I shudder at the sound of that laugh. Wait, did he take my parents? I wonder. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you."
Bill Cipher P.O.V
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." What was that?! I love scaring people! Holy hologram what is going on?! "It's…Ok. You just…. Remind me of someone…" She stutters. "Now to answer your questions. Can I come in so we can talk?" I ask. WHAT AM I DOING! HAVE I GONE INSANE? Yes. I have always been insane. "Yeah sure…" She mutters and moves aside to let me in. I walk into her lounge and sit in a chair. She follows and sits opposite me, tilting her head as if to say 'go on then, tell me.' "A, calling people kids is what I do. B, I know you because I'm…" Think Cipher think. I know! "I'm a family friend's…" I can't be a family friend I look like I'm 18, 4 years ago I would have been 14 if I was the age I look. "…Kid. I'm a family friend's kid. Moving on, surname is irrelevant." She doesn't appear to be believing it. "Ok. Why are you here?" She asks. Honest reason or made up one? Hmmm…. "I knew it was your birthday and decided to visit," I state.
Olivia P.O.V
He's weird and lying. "Can you give me a second? And if you won't tell me your surname tell me the initial?" I asked. He looked a little bit shocked and worried at my question but decided to answer. "I'll be honest with you I guess. C. My surname begins with a C," He sighed. I nodded and ran upstairs to my room. Grabbing the book, I flicked through till I found the page. "Bill Cipher… Do not trust…" I muttered the words in the book.
My eyes flash yellow and I look up and see Bill. "I heard you come in," I say. "Well me being an all knowing demon I knew you were reading said book that says not to trust me. I would like to be trusted for once. I suppose I should explain?" He stated. "Starting with why you are really here preferably," I reply. "Well I can't really tell you that… Terms of a deal you see. I can tell you that while I didn't take your parents I feel bad about it for let's just say 'assisting'," He appears to find it hard to say. Dumbfounded, I get up and slap him. "That is for 'assisting' in the taking of my parents! You aren't helping your case Bill Cipher," I growl, my eyes turning icy blue. "Hey hey hey… let's all just calm down and start over?" He suggests. My eyes turn yellow. "Proceed."
Bill Cipher P.O.V
Why do I feel so awkward doing this? Forget it. I need to explain. Time to do my trademark introduction. I teleport my cane into my hands. "The name's Bill Cipher, mind demon extraordinaire! Who are you kid? Ahaha I'm just kidding I know everything so I know who you are. No more tricks now so I'm being as honest as I can be," I say. She recoiled when I laughed but now appears to be a bit more passive. "You are a 2d triangle in here. How come you are a human?" She asks. "I used a spell. It was 'In mortali immortalis, daemon in forma hominis'," I recite. She looks like she's thinking then looks up, excitedly. "That loosely means 'immortal into mortal, demon form into human form' right?" She smiles. Got to hand it to that kid she's smart. "It does. You know Latin?" She nods slightly. "Only a bit," she replies, her eyes now purple. For the first time in oh I'd say a good hundred years or so, I smile properly. Not an insane one or crazy one just a smile. The kid puts the book under her pillow and turns to me. "We have to go to the Pines now. I'm guessing you aren't on the best of terms?" She half asks half states. I rub the back of my head nervously and fix my cuffs. "You could say that. I'll come but I am not Bill Cipher ok? I'm umm…." My voice trails off as I attempt to think. "William Earth," she says. "What?" I tilt my head curiously. "Earth is my surname so I can say you're my cousin. They won't think anything of it," She replies. That kid is smarter than I'd pin her down for.
Dipper P.O.V
Today is the day we tell her about it. About everything that has happened. Mabel walks to go open the door after hearing the familiar knock. I get up to follow her. "Hi Olivia," Mabel smiles. "Hi… do you mind if my cousin comes too? He's visiting from New York," Olivia tells us. I look at Mabel and then at Olivia and nod. "William! They said it's cool for you to come!" A man in a yellow suit strides up to the door. I look at Mabel and I can tell we are both thinking the same thing 'Bill.'
Bill Cipher P.O.V
The Pines kids obviously can tell it's me. Why couldn't the damn kid have clothes that fit me?! Oh yeah… Shooting star is looking at me with an obvious scared and angry expression. "Nice to meet you shooting st- I mean Mabel and Pine- I mean Dipper. Olivia has told me so much about you," I stutter. "Cipher! What are you doing here?!" Stan yells. "Busted…" The kid sighs.
Stan P.O.V
What is Bill Cipher doing here?! And why is he human not a corn chip pyramid triangle thing? "I asked you Cipher. Why are you here?" I growl. "You should know Stanford. Tell me, how's Stanley?" The demon sneers. "Get off my property Bill! Olivia stay away from him!" I say and pull her inside away from Bill. "Wait you know Bill?" Dipper asks shocked. "Not the time Dipper. Take Olivia inside while I deal with the dressed up Dorito," I reply.
Olivia P.O.V
My eyes turn half icy blue and half green. "Stop!" I yell over them. They all freeze and I stand between Stan and Bill. "No fighting! It's my birthday and I don't want to deal with this crap! Also, I knew that that is Bill Cipher and that you guys don't have a good history. Just let him damn explain!" I sigh. They look at me like I'm crazy. "I don't let demons on my property," Stan replies flatly. "Funny Stanford, considering the ghost in the basement. How is Stanley?" Bill jeers. "I said get off my property Cipher!" Dipper pulls me inside away from Bill and Stan goes outside and slams the door. "Olivia you can't trust Bill," Mabel tries to persuade me. My eyes turn yellow and I put my head in my hands. "Just stop Stan. He's either going to get himself killed or Bill," I mutter.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
How did Stan get a demon weapon? The old man is good I'll give him that. The con man holds a knife to my neck and I draw back slightly. "Now now Stanford, no need to use that," I say. "Yes there is Cipher and you know it. Get off my property," he snarls. I laugh. "But I'm an invited guest. Olivia invited me," I retort. "I don't believe you. Now go before I slice your neck open," he replies calmly. I stay standing there, it can't hurt me can it? Stanford pushes me into the mud after slicing my neck with the blade. I recoil. "That actually hurt…" I stutter feeling light headed. "Part of our deal Cipher. See you," the con man smiles and walks inside. I get up and feel my legs buckle. I fall forward into the dirt rather than the mud. Rubbing my bleeding neck, I wonder if I have enough strength to leave. I hear Olivia shouting and saying she wants to leave. I wonder, if only she knew how to teleport. I hear people running and realise that if Olivia sees me like this she will possibly be traumatised for the rest of her mortal life and I can never tell her the truth. Why do I care so much?! I'm a demon! Shakily, I get up and start walking towards the forest.
Olivia P.O.V
Dipper and Mabel are faster than me but I've got a head start. I run out the back and climb onto the roof. Sliding down the other side, I see Bill walking away holding his neck. What did Stan do to him?
Yay new chapter that's pretty much twice as long as the last two. Try to update again today or tomorrow.
