A:N/ Hey Everyone, I just want to let you know, that this chapter is going to get pretty emotional. It's going to be longer than most of my previous chapter, so sit back and enjoy. I suggest for all people that get emotional easy, please, you might want to back off on this chapter. Unless you want to miss something, ;)
(Dipper's P.O.V.)
I sat in the back of my mind, watching Bill do his work. I knew his plans, he was going to hurt me. He was going to hurt Autumn. I watch Bill make his way through the forest, as I talked to myself.
"I hate you so much Bill. I was so stupid. We had a deal…" I floated around my mind, and things that I always thought about flew around. But my heart sank down to my stomach as I watch multiple thoughts of Autumn spin around me. All the times we've had for the past few days, weeks, maybe months? No. I was getting ahead of myself. There hasn't been "months". Not yet of course, I wasn't going to think of the future this quickly.
"Pinetree, don't get ahead of yourself. Here." As he said that, I was pushed forward, fast. I felt dizzy in the process, and then I could now feel myself fall down into the cold, dirty ground. I lift myself up, and could hear Bill's voice in the background. I was in my own body again, but it felt, different. My body felt sore, and heavy. I couldn't imagine what Bill just did to me. I didn't want to think of what he did to me.
"Bill, what did you do?" I asked, feeling even more dizzy, and before I knew it, I felt like I was pushed back into the dirt. I couldn't lift myself up at this point. It was almost, impossible.
"I control you now, pinetree. Don't think this is the end of your htaed."
The last word sounded like complete gibberish. I couldn't understand the word he had said in the end, but I sat there, lying on the ground. Until my eyes shut, I couldn't feel anything after that.
I sat in the middle of nowhere. Tree surrounded me, but all of it was dead. The grass was dead, along with the trees. I looked around, and above me, only to see a dark gray sky. But everything was gray, and it was different. I knew this wasn't Bill coming. Even if it was, he would have been here by now, hovering around me. Calling out his demands. I felt stiff. I couldn't move anywhere. It was freezing, and I held my shoulders, trying to warmth my body. It wasn't working. Then, the dead bushes in front of me shook. I wanted to run, but I stood there, frozen into the ground.
I didn't think it was possible, but when they finally stopped, someone appeared from them. It wasn't Autumn, it wasn't Bill. It was…
Mabel.
She looked horrified. Scared, alone. I ran over to her, the cold wind brushing my hair back. I wrapped my arms around her, but she didn't hug back. She stood there, like a statue. I hugged her tighter, and told her how sorry I was for everything. For making a deal with Bill, but her silence was making me wish Autumn was here. She'd understood. She trusted me.
"Mabel, please, I'm really sorry for all of this," tears were filling my eyes. "I didn't mean any of it." I tried not to cry, but she was still silent, facing the same way she had for the past 5 minutes. I tried to get her attention, but she didn't even look like she was breathing.
"Mabel? Don't you trust me? It's me, Dipper-" but she spoke before I could finish.
"Get away," she said, taking one step back. This time she turned towards me. I could feel my blood rushing through my body. I didn't want to believe it, but Mabel's shadow wasn't her shadow. It was bigger, and it was shaped different. It wasn't her shadow, it was Bill's.
I looked up into her eyes, and her pupils went from circles, to a black triangle.
"I'm sorry." She says and I run through the forest as fast as I could.
I woke up. Still on the ground, I lift myself up quickly. It was a dream. Only a small, horrible dream. No.
It was a nightmare.
Bill's laughs echoed throughout my head. I wanted to just be alone. I didn't want this to happen. Bill was making me go insane. I was having too many nightmares, and they were getting out of hand. I couldn't think of anything other than the dream. When I looked around, I was still in the forest, where Bill led me.
Did Autumn and Mabel know I was here? My own sister, locked me in a closet with Autumn, and couldn't do one thing? Unlocking that door. That was it. My life was on the edge of a cliff. In my dream, Mabel had been possessed by Bill. Maybe it was a sign. Something. A clue, or just another mystery?
"Bill? Where's the shack?" There wasn't an answer. He was purposely ignoring me now, I was in the middle of nowhere.
Alone.
Autumn's warm hugs made me happy. Her smile made me shiver, and her personality was pretty much me. Mabel had always been there for me, but now, she's become a traitor. She abandoned me. I didn't think it was possible. But I thought, did she make a deal with Bill, too? Was she tricked? The wind made my spine chill.
"Autumn, where are you?" I sat on the ground, and curled into a ball to try and stay warm. I'm sorry… There wasn't an answer. Not even Bill's annoying laugh came to mind. Literally. For once I had thought it would be nice to have him here, so I wasn't so alone. The last of the daylight had started to fade, and it had become so dark, that it was impossible to see myself. Mabel had always given me her sweater for these types of situations, throughout the cold, windy, nights back at home. Although it was rare, it still felt right. Having her by my side. I was starting to think that that was over. Now, it felt wrong, none of my two favorite people were here right now.
It didn't make sense.
Nothing made sense anymore.
