Ahh new chapter. Sitting in a plane listening to itunes, really wishing I was in Florida by now but I have another flight to go on, from Britain to Washington to Florida. All on standby, not fun. On with the chapter!
Chapter 8- try and fail, try again and still fail
December 31st 2013
Bill promised me he'd teach me magic today. It sounds like fun. He said not everyone can do magic so even if I can do something it means I can make progress easily. I get up and get ready for the day. Grabbing my small bag, I place in it my phone and slip my pocket knife in the side pocket just in case. "Coming kid?" Bill asks from outside my door. I nod, knowing he sees me, and pull down the sleeve of my jacket.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
Why did I even agree to this?! You want to protect her. This is a way for her to protect herself. Oh shut up voice. "Where to?" The kid asks. "The forest. Less people and more things to practice on," I say. She nods and grabs a necklace of hers as we leave. I look at it and shake my head seeing it's an amethyst pendant with a silver dragon curling round it. "You seem to have a thing for crystals and dragons," I say. She looks nervous and replies, "Well considering I somehow got a burn mark in the shape of a dragon I think it's justified." I make an expression like 'show me'. Shaking her head, she walks down the road ahead of me into the forest. I sigh following her.
We enter a clearing and I make the same expression at her. She sighs and takes off her jacket, showing me a definitely not coincidental scorch mark spiralling up her arm from her forearm. The dragons head is by her wrist and I can only say the tail ends at her shoulder. "Holy hologram! How'd you get that?" I question. "I don't know. It kind of showed up before you did," she shrugs, putting her blue jacket back on. "At least I now have a nickname for you!" I smile. She laughs and tilts her head in question. "Scorch mark! Now onto the magic," I laugh. She laughed when I said the name then smiled when I said magic.
Dipper P.O.V
Why isn't Olivia answering her phone? Where is she? I sigh and wonder what to do. Mabel is with her friends; Wendy and Soos aren't here and I don't really want to talk to Stan, either of them. Maybe I could go hang out with the Manotaurs. I need to get friends my own age… They're all older than me. Walking out of the Shack, I start heading to the arcade down the street. "If it isn't Dipper," I hear a familiar voice say and laughs. "Robbie," I reply, not bothering to turn around and talk. "Oh come on I know we've been enemies but how about we wipe the slate clean?" He asks. I ignore him and keep walking. "Fine be that way!" he calls. Shaking my head, I push my hat up slightly and place my hands in my pockets. This is going to be a long day.
Olivia P.O.V
Bill sits/ floats like he's sitting on air in the middle of the clearing. "So you wanted to learn how to float then scorch mark?" he questions. I nod. "Well I'd prefer not to give you any of my power as there is a slight," he fake coughs and makes a sound like 'high', "possibility that you may possibly go insane. So hopefully you have magic in you." Nodding, I stand opposite him waiting. "The spell to float is simple; once you know it you can float without thinking. Repeat after me - nec fundatus eaque sursum vado," he says. "nec fundatus eaque sursum vado," I repeat. I start trying to translate it then realise I'm no longer on the ground, granted I'm only a few inches off the ground but still. Bill smiles at me. "Nice job scorch mark. You have your own magic which is good. It means you can easily progress and I don't have to give you my magic," he praises. Smiling, I imagine myself going higher and see I'm doing what I think.
I copy Bill's laid back pose and sit in the air like him. He moves his arm and I move mine. "Hey!" we both say. "Stop copying me!" we laugh. "I am an idiot," he says, thinking I'm going to copy. "Yes yes you are Bill," I smirk. "No fair scorch mark. No fair," he whines in a fake upset tone. "Demons don't do fair. Considering I'm with the trickster of tricksters I thought I wouldn't play fair," I retort. He gazes oddly into thin air as if he's remembering something. "I actually tricked the trickster of tricksters, wow that guy was annoying. Going on and on about how his plans fail , he never wins, he has an idiot brother and his 'father' doesn't love him blah blah blah, cry me a river," he fakes a annoyed expression and falls over in the air laughing to himself. Shaking my head, I imagine myself back on the ground and stand up. "My next lesson?" I raise an eyebrow at him.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
"My next lesson?" Scorch mark raises an eyebrow at me and waits on the ground. "What do you want to learn?" I question. She starts thinking then looks at me. "How to make blue fire," she says. I nod and remember the spell. "Your fire is a different colour depending on the person. Yours might not be blue. This is the spell- ignem ignis," I recite, feeling the familiar comforting heat on my hand. "Ignem ignis," she repeats. A purple flame surrounds her hand and the edges are slightly blue. That's a sorceresses flame… See? She isn't just a mortal. Remember why you said her parents? They were so deeply involved in magic that they gave it to their child. The voice echos. I smile at her, "Nice job there scorch mark. That flame is a strong one; I was expecting more little flame in the centre of your palm, not a massive blaze that covers your hand!" She smirks. "I learnt from the best," she replies. I fix my bowtie and smile, "why thank you." She blushes and clicks her fingers and the fire goes out. "Next lesson?"
Dipper P.O.V
"Next lesson?" I hear Olivia's voice somewhere in the forest as I walk through the trees. Following it, I see her and Bill in a clearing. Why is Bill with Olivia? And why is she floating? "The next lesson scorch mark is how to teleport. Pine Tree, you want to come out and not hide behind a tree there? We both know you're here," Bill says, looking right at me.
"Dipper? Hi! How's things? I have something to tell you!" Olivia smiles. "Let's start with why you're practicing magic with Bill! He's dangerous!" I state. She shakes her head. "He offered to teach me because I wanted to learn. That's not the point. Gideon is-" she starts. "I don't want to hear it," I retort. Her eyes turn green and she stops floating. "You have to! He's in an insane asylum!" She yells. I look at her. "You're serious?" She nods. "Wow… Anyway did you know Stan has/ had a twin brother and Bill-" Bill cuts me off, "I made a deal to bring him back. However he's a ghost as I'm a demon and don't make honest deals. He doesn't resent me for it. In fact Stanley was worried about me the day after Stan cut my neck with a demon blade." I look at him oddly. "Stan has a demon blade? I read about something like that in three," I confess. Bill nods and looks back at Olivia. "So the spell to teleport is easy. And since broken heart is heading our way with his annoying gang I suggest you use it. Repeat after me and think of where you want to go and me and pine tree -Ianuae Magicae," Bill says. "Ianuae Magicae," Olivia recites. Suddenly, everything around us becomes warped. Dizzy. I feel dizzy and light headed. Bill looks passive as our surroundings go back into focus and we are by the Mystery Shack. It all goes black.
So Dipper just passed out and Olivia is learning magic. If you know who Bill was talking about when he was saying he tricked the trickster of tricksters, please say in your review.
Person- he means me.
Me- you aren't meant to be in this world! Be gone!
Person- fine. *I mute him while he says something that will give away his identity*
Me- nice helmet by the way.
Person- *I un-mute him* I should have you hanged for this!
Me- except you can't because I'm in another sort of dimensional plane. Oh and the flight was ok but boring and I didn't have enough charge to finish the story on the plane or yesterday. So here you go! Bye
Bill Cipher- oh it's you.
Person- dressed up dorito. Why are you human?
Bill Cipher- you aren't the only one *They fade out arguing*
Me- ARORAEARTHICEFIRE OUT! *they both look at me* see you! *I teleport away*
