New chapter, let's go!
Chapter 4- Deception
December 29th 2013
No sign of Bill since I saw him go into the forest. The Pines won't let me leave my house. They think Bill has used a spell to trick me into liking him. "Olivia you have to eat something," Mabel whines from across the room. "Not until you let me find Bill. Mabel Stan cut his throat open," I say. "He's a demon, he'll live," Mabel replies. I grab a notepad and pen and start writing.
'Deception,
A demon lies,
A human lies,
The truth no longer shown.
Deception,
An outrage,
Can't leave this damned place,
Cos the truth isn't shown.
Deception,
Trust me that isn't it,
We've all lied,
People don't always show the truth.
Deception,
Just let me leave.
Deception,
Accept me please.
Deception,
Cipher a cryptic person.
Deception,
The blade of the con man.
Deception,
The truth of Stan.'
I stare at what I've written utterly dumbfounded. Another weird thing about me, I write things in poetry but I'm not really in control when I write it. Mabel gets up and tries to see what I've written. "I'm not showing you Mabel. You'll think I'm insane," I mutter. "If I'm honest with you I want to go help Bill as much as you do. Show me because what you write tends to be truthful," she persuades. I pass her the notepad and she reads it with a shocked expression. "Weirder than normal. Usually they keep to a structure but this one didn't," I say. Mabel hands me the notepad and I put it on my shelf. "Let's go find us a dream demon!" Mabel smiles.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
Where am I? Oh I'm in a ditch. Great my suit is stained! Why does my throat hurt? Stanford Pines. If I wasn't a changed demon I'd kill him right now. Then again…. No I am not killing Stan Pines! I'm too weak anyway. I rub my neck and click my fingers. My cane appears and I lean on it after getting up. "Hello Bill," a familiar voice says from behind me. I turn around to see who it is. "How are you Stanley?"
Stanley P.O.V
The demon nods to me. "How are you Stanley?" "Fine. Apart from being a ghost," I gesture to my spectre like form. "How'd you even leave the basement?" He questions. "A Latin spell. You aren't the only one who knows spells Cipher," I reply. The demon shakes his head. "I'm sorry about that Stanley. But hey your dear twin Stanford got me back," He shows me his neck and I wince slightly. "Sorry about Stanford. He can be a little…" I trail off and lose focus. The demon waves a hand in front of my face. I snap back. "Sorry. Ghost losing focus thing," I stutter. Bill nods and looks up. "You should go back before Stanford finds out. He's not fond of me to say the least," Cipher reminds me. Turning around to leave, a thought crosses my mind. "Why'd you do it Cipher?" Bill rubs the back of his head.
Dipper P.O.V
Olivia's Grandma just let me in. Running up the stairs, I don't hear Mabel or Olivia. "Mabel?" I call. No reply. "Olivia?" I try again. Still no answer. I go inside Olivia's room and see the window is open and there's a blanket ladder down. "What a cliché. Wait they're gone! Ahh!"
Bill Cipher P.O.V
"Why'd you do it Cipher?" I rub the back of my head nervously. "I had a deal," I answer the old mystery twin. "Business before friends huh Cipher?" The ghost retorts. "I don't have friends. I am a demon. I don't have friends," I say. Stanley shakes his head. "Then why do you care so much about the Earth kid?" He counters. Think Cipher. How can you answer this without destroying your beautiful façade. "Karma. It's catching up to me Stanley and fixing one sin will make me stronger," I reply coolly. "I know you aren't the tough guy you pretend to be." "So I'm not. What's it to you? Mystery twin. Always wanting to know. Curiosity killed the Stan huh? AHAHAHA! You should run back home to your precious brother because sooner or later I will get him back," I laugh. "He has a demon blade Bill. He can kill you," Stanley replies worriedly. "Nothing can kill me! I'm immortal! You puny mortals would never understand! Nothing can hurt me! HAHAHAHA! It's funny how dumb you are!" Calm down Cipher. You're going insane again. I don't want to calm down. I just want to laugh the world away. Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram. Stanley floats away through the trees and I just keep laughing insanely.
Gideon P.O.V
Ahh parole, sweet sweet parole. The idiot officers just let me out. Now to pay my marshmallow a visit. Soon the whole of Gravity Falls will be mine! "Argh can it Crème puff. I got my neck sliced by a con man. You're blabbering is annoying," A voice sounds out from behind a tree. I walk towards it and see a man in a yellow suit, top hat and bowtie. "Wh- who-" I start. "Are you? You really don't recognise me short stack, after that deal we did? Let me spell it out for ya. Imagine me as a two dimensional triangle with one eye," The man states. I recoil back and almost fall over. "B-Bill Cipher?" I stutter. "The one and only. 'How are you human?!' I hear you thinking. A spell. Anyway, please continue on your merry way and leave me alone forever," Bill replies. "Oh but I have a deal for you."
Stan P.O.V
I shouldn't have done what I did. I just can't have the kids finding out about Stanley or anyone finding out about Olivia's parents. I can't deal with that. I know Cipher wants something. But what? Sighing, I go to the basement to find Stanley.
Olivia P.O.V
My eyes turn yellow as we round the corner. "It's Bill and Gideon!" Mable shrieks in horror. I gesture for Mable to stay there and creep closer to get a better look. "Oh but I have a deal for you," the albino smiles. "Go on," Bill replies. "You help me get the journals and Mabel and I'll help you get whatever you want," Gideon persuades. "And what do I want short stack? I'm trying to get on the good side of the Pines," Bill laughs. I shiver slightly but keep listening. "There's someone you want. I can tell. That's the look I give my marshmallow," Gideon smirks. "N-no," the demon stutters. "Yes you do. Who is it? I won't tell," the albino smiles. Bill looks at him passively.
Gideon P.O.V
The demon likes someone? Hilarious! Ah he looks as crazy in love as I am for Mabel. Bill has always been insane though. "Like I said crème puff, I don't love anyone nor want anyone. Now get lost before I make you," The demon snarls. Bill looks towards a bush for a second then back at me. "Someone is there, and it's someone you care about huh demon? I thought you had no feelings?" I sneer. "I don't. Do what you want with them, see if I care."
Bill Cipher P.O.V
"Someone is there, and it's someone you care about huh demon? I thought you had no feelings?" The albino sneers. What can I reply?! I can't say I like them. I know it's Olivia. But I don't like her… do I? Argh this is so confusing. What to say? "I don't. Do what you want with them, see if I care." Did I really just say something that heartless? I am a demon! I don't have a heart! Why should I care. I enjoy the pain of others. But not the Pines or the Earth families, especially Shooting star, pine tree and the other kid. A small voice in the back of my head says.
Mable P.O.V
Oh my gosh! Where's my grappling hook when I need it?!
Olivia P.O.V
"I don't. Do what you want with them, see if I care." Did Bill really just say that? My eyes turn green and I freeze. The albino strides over to me. "Well if it isn't lil' old Olivia Earth. How nice to see ya'll again. How are ya? Been good?" He jeers. "Better then you Gideon. I see you're still as short and egotistical as ever," I retort, standing up. Gideon laughs and shows me a green amulet. "I found a new one you see. I've been dying to test it out," the albino returns. My jaw drops and I stand there. I glance at Bill but he just stares at me coldly.
Dipper P.O.V
Gideon! I should have known! I run towards Mabel and see Bill standing behind Gideon as he pulls out an amulet. But we destroyed it?!
This is becoming an interesting development. Can I just say, I never planned any of the story and I'm making it up as I go along. However, I do know where I want it to finish but the road to get there seems unclear. I guess I'll quickly interview the characters before finishing.
Bill Cipher- you just had to write that in didn't you?
Me- yes yes I did.
Bill Cipher- ok then I'm just going to invade your mind now and destroy you!
Me- no you aren't. You have a certain Albino to deal with.
Bill Cipher- I hate him so very much. He's so annoying!
Mabel- and stalker-ish, and creepy
Me- I second that. Now before I end this off, thank you Mabill for the review of 'Interesting.. Like to see where this is going It's cool how you can read the story from all the character's p.o.v :)' to reply to that, I don't like writing in one character's P.O.V for too long, it feels weird. And I think this gives more character depth as well because you can see what they are thinking at certain times. Also, thank you ArtSketch for the review of 'I love this story, your writing is very good(:
Keep up the good work and update soon!' Well you only had to wait an hour so you're welcome! Thanks fav and followers too! I'm going to do this at the end of every chapter you do realise that right?
Olivia- you are annoying.
Me- so are you. AroraEarthIcefire out!
