Really sorry for not updating guys! I got a puppy last Sunday and for the whole week it was either: School, homework, after school club (Mini masters Art club and CREST science club), or rehearsals for the play (Anything Goes). I'll try to update more regularly and it should be possible as it's nearing the end of the half term and teachers are slowing down the amount of homework. Also, my puppy (a staffie whippet cross) is more settled in now. On with the chapter, which is going to be longer for you guys!
Chapter 19- Don't play with fire
January 20th 2014
So much stuff has changed. First of all, Bill keeps acting somewhat nervous when he's around me, as though he's scared of slipping up. I think that's quite cute. Secondly, we haven't been attacked in a while and it's putting me on edge. Third and finally, we haven't told Stan about me and Bill yet, although I'm pretty sure Mabel has let it slip. I'm a bit worried though. I love Bill don't get me wrong, but he's eons old and I'm fourteen. Also, Stan will flip and try to ban us from dating or something. I shake my head and push away the negative thoughts and go downstairs to have some toast or cereal for breakfast.
Bill and I are sitting in the lounge eating breakfast. He smiles at me and I smile back. "You know Stan is on his way here right?" He says. "Unfortunately," I reply. "What do we say?" Bill asks, finishing his food and taking my empty plate to the kitchen. I think about it until he renters. "I don't know. Maybe the same thing you said to Dipper…?" I suggest. Bill sighs, "That won't work. Before I met you I was really evil… I mean incredibly evil. I killed his brother as part of a deal. He hates me so very incredibly much…" I frown like I'm thinking. "What if you brought his brother back fully? Could you do that?" I question. He shakes his head, "I don't have the power. I did all I could do, bring him back in spirit. I'd need help from someone of great magic to even be able to pull it off. It takes a lot of power and leaves you vulnerable afterwards that spell…" He trails off. I jump up instantly as if I've had a 'eureka' moment. "I could help. We bring Stanley back and he forgives you," I say. "No no no. No way. I'm not putting you in that kind of danger," He looks at me seriously. I ignore him. "So what's the spell?" I chirp happily, annoying him on purpose. "You're never going to let up are you?" He frowns, looking annoyed. "Nope!" I smirk. He sighs. "Fine the spell is, 'Corpus et spiritum, corpus ad animam, et sanavi eum, et vivificet spiritum amissam. Spirit to body, body to soul, revive this ghost and make him whole.' That's the spell," he recites. "Let's go bring back a ghost," I smile.
Stanley P.O.V
I still can't pinpoint the source of my unease. Bill is dating the Earth girl, that's not something bad, even if my brother thinks it is something bad. I know something is going to go right today, something life changing, but something bad is also going to happen. Burn burn burn….
Mabel P.O.V (A little while earlier)
Me and Dipper had just woken up and gone downstairs to eat. Now we are sitting at the table with Stan having breakfast chatting. All I can think about is Bilivia; I ship them. I interrupt the conversation by blurting out, "Livy and Bill are dating!" Stan looks at me then at Dipper and stands up, knocking the table. "Is this true Dipper?" Dipper looks at me with a peeved off expression and replies truthfully, "They are…" Less than a second later Stan storms out and we hear his car start up. "Mabel what did you do!" He half shouts. I look down. "I couldn't help it," I mutter. Dipper puts a hand on my shoulder. "Come on let's go get Stanley then get there before Stan does. Stanley can calm him down right?" Dipper asks. I nod and get up.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
Come on Pines kids… Get yourselves and Stanley here quick. "Cipher get your soon to be dead self out here!" Stan yells. Scorch mark goes to the front door and opens it. "Hi Stan," she says. "Olivia where is Bill," Stan growls. "He's just coming. One moment," Scorch mark lies, "Is that Dipper and Mabel and Stanley? It is," she gestures to the two people, and one figure, running to the house from a golf cart. "Grunkle Stan you can't do this," Dipper pants. I walk into the hallway spinning my cane. "Stanford and Stanley, I'd like to make it up to you. I know a way to bring Stanley back fully. If you'll let me I'll do it," I say. Stan clenches his fists then speaks quietly to Stanley. They both nod then turn to face me. "Fine Cipher. You can do it. But if you fail I will never forgive you and I will take you to court to stop you being Olivia's legal guardian," Stan replies. I nod. Stanley floats in and we follow him.
Me and Olivia get ready to do the spell. Stanley floats in the centre of the living room and I stand next to Scorch mark. "Ready," she nods. "Ready," I finish. "Corpus et spiritum, corpus ad animam, et sanavi eum, et vivificet spiritum amissam. Spirit to body, body to soul, revive this ghost and make him whole," We say in unison. Stanley disappears for a few seconds then reappears no longer floating or a ghost on the floor. "Oww…. Little help here?" Stanley asks. I smile at scorch mark then feel light headed. She looks the same. We both faint.
Gideon P.O.V
They turned the old mystery twin human, or mostly human. They're on the floor though. "Livy? Stan they've fainted. What do we do?" my marshmallow sounds so sweet and innocent. I hold the red amulet in my hand and get ready. I walk inside the house, as they forgot to lock the door.
Stanford P.O.V
I hug my brother and he hugs me back. "Uh Stanford…" Stanley stops hugging me. "Yes?" I say. Stanley turns me around and I see Gideon. "Gideon you little. Get out of here!" I shout. Gideon laughs. "Oh why Stanford. You can't boss me around anymore. I have a new toy that I've been dying to test out," He shows me a red amulet and I feel my clothes light on fire. "Why you-" I'm cut off by the pain. I run out and start trying to put the fire out.
Dipper P.O.V
It's Gideon… We need to go. I grab Stanley and Mabel and run out, hearing Gideon laughing behind us. Stan follows, no longer on fire, panting. "Where's Olivia? And Bill, where's Bill?" Stanley asks, looking dazed. "Oh no I left them in there!" I cry at my stupidity. Stanley hugs me. "It's ok. They'll be fine. I know Bill. He won't let Gideon bully him," Stanley comforts. "Let's get going. No buts we're leaving," Stan says dragging us to the car. We all get in except Stan who looks at the house. I swear I hear him say, "Sorry… I failed you," before he gets in.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
I wake up feeling dizzy. Gideon is standing over me with a hand on a red amulet. "Why Bill. I think it's time you and your little lady friend get burned," He lifts me up and his hand lights on fire. He puts his hand right by me. I see scorch mark stir. "Bill…. Gideon what the," she gets up shakily and looks from Gideon to me. "Stay away from him Gideon," She growls. "Or what," Gideon moves the fire slowly closer to me, closer to my tie and hat. Scorch mark looks like she's thinking then looks at me. "I'm not going to tell you again Gideon. Get away from him," she says flatly. Gideon moves the fire even closer and I wince. Why won't my powers come back?! Come on come back stupid magic… I need you!
Olivia P.O.V
I make a split second, somewhat rash, decision. I run at Gideon and rugby tackle him, sending him sprawling on the ground. I pin him with my foot. "I warned you," I say. Gideon holds his amulet and sets me on fire. I laugh crazily, my eyes turning icy with rage. Bill looks at me. "Scorch mark calm down," he tries. I keep laughing, feeling the fire burning me. "You have fire Gideon, well I do too!" I laugh, my hands lighting on purple and blue fire. Suddenly, my whole body is engulfed in it and Gideon is wincing under my foot. "Don't play with fire. Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned. And it sure as hell ain't me," I smile at him and my eyes turn normal. "Now get out of my house and leave your amulet," I growl. Gideon drops the amulet. I take my foot off him and he runs out. Bill stares at me. The fire engulfing me slowly goes out until it's just on my hands. I click my fingers and it goes out completely.
I pick up the amulet and feel it burning. "You did it…" Bill mutters. I stop being able to hear him and just see the amulet in my hand burning me. I can tell what Gideon wanted it to do. I can't let that happen. I put hold the amulet in both my hands and let the fire blaze until it burns out. I drop the now black stone on the floor and start crying. I show Bill my hands, covered in burn marks. "It hurts…" I cry. Bill hugs me and walks me into the kitchen to find some medical stuff. He gets out some burn cream and bandages and puts them on my hands. I cry more because it stings. He wraps my hands in the bandages gently then gets a tissue. He dries my eyes and hugs me. "You did a brave thing today. Ok? You did well. You did better than I would ever do. You saved the town. I know that gem was going to start a fire when Gideon left it, a fire that would burn every house and building down. You did a very brave thing. It's ok," he whispers in my ear. I nod and close my eyes, resting my head on his chest. "It still hurts…." I whimper. He lifts my head up gently to look at him and I open my eyes. "I know. But it'll all be better soon I promise," he soothes. I nod slightly then say, "Thank you…." He smiles and kisses me. "No problem. Now let's find some painkillers for you," he replies.
Bill Cipher P.O.V
I stop hugging her and look through the medicines till I find some painkillers. I take two out of the box and get a glass of water for her. I give her the painkillers and the glass of water and she takes them. I take the empty glass from her hand and put it down. "You need some rest," I say. "What about you….?" She mutters. "I don't sleep. Now go get some rest. It's been a long exciting day," I nod. She kisses me on the cheek and goes upstairs. I smile slightly then turn red. I'm going to kill Gideon. I swear it. I will kill him.
Dipper P.O.V
Bill just rung up explaining what happened. I sit with Mabel and sigh. "I hate Gideon," I say. "Same here," she agrees. "What should we do…?" I ask. "Let's make her some get well stuff. We could go buy her some sweets and make a card and everything. She did save the down after all…" Mabel trails off then shakes her head. "Well night Dipping sauce," she goes up to our room.
Mystery Guy P.O.V
Gideon failed me, for the most part at least. He did burn her though. That's what I was after. She played the hero and she got burned. Exactly what I was planning. Look after her for as long as you can Bill, sooner or later she won't be there, and I'll be the cause of it. Then Gravity Falls will be fixed, my way. They can't fix the reality mirror. If they do… If they do then I'll lose my hold on Gravity Falls and Bill will own it. I can't have that. I am the true owner of Gravity Falls not him! He's just the wannabe triangle guy who thinks he's all that. He was never all that. Not even when we were younger. Of course, this is just a façade. I walk to the mirror and mutter a spell. My old man look fades and I see my true self. A dark suit and dark hair with blonde highlights (natural), two deep blue eyes, and my final defining feature: the Cipher wheel on the back of my right hand. My wheel. No it's our wheel, mine and Bill's. When he finally realises who I am, he'll wish I had died that day, eons ago. And then, revenge will be served.
Who do you think the Mystery Guy is now? Hmm? Ok ok so I set a goal last chapter, and I wanted to see how quickly it was met. Here's the goal and my hopes: 50 reviews. I hope that we can reach it! Now on with my review replies and thanks. Firstly, over 4,600 views! That's nuts! Completely insane! I really can't believe it.
