Chapter 19
Meanwhile Stan went to Ford's lab to question him about what happened with Dipper, as soon as the elevator reached the lab Ford turned around telling his brother about how he knows that he shouldn't go down there, no matter Stan didn't listen and went in anyway as he needed to clear and hear the crazy story Dipper just told him from his own brother, he knew Ford was prone to taking extreme measures, but erase Dipper's memories? That was just insane.
"Ford... " Stan exclaimed "Dipper ran away yesterday do you know why he would do something like that?" He questioned, trying to get the information out of his brother in a subtle way.
"No I don't" Ford said as he put down his work and turned to talk to Stanley.
"Of course you don't... Then let me rephrase that... Did you seriously try to erase Dipper's memories to get rid of the triangle?" Stan questioned.
"Yes and it's something I will try again" Ford said without considering it once.
"Are you crazy?! How in hell is that supposed to help to get rid of him?" Stan yelled.
"Dipper is protecting Cipher for some reason, with that I concluded that he must be under some kind of spell or trance, by erasing his memories that might have lifted the 'curse' and with that I can attack Cipher.
"Attack? What do you have in mind?" Stan asked.
"Bill has a body now, according to Dipper's journal on him it's not fully human nor demonic, he described a substance that makes the body stay stable in the journal, but it isn't named. That means if I can get Dipper away from Bill and lock him up, his body might collapse" Ford exclaimed.
"But that's not the point did you really have to try to erase Dipper's memories for that?" Stan complained.
"I don't like seeing my nephew in the hands of a demon Stan" Ford added.
"Ever thought that... Well it's not a spell or whatever you like to call it?" Stan asked.
"If you have any other theories please share them" Ford demanded.
"This guy isn't really like the triangle that tried to kill us you know? He actually might just be getting along with Dipper" Stan uttered.
"See brother and that is the problem, that is what he wants us to think! I know his tricks and this is the exact thing he did with me, he gains your trust then to bend it to his own wicked will!" Ford stated.
"Look... It's not like I'm exactly happy having him here, but I've lived with people that tried to kill me before and then we became best friends" Stan smiled.
"Please if this is a prison story just don't..." Ford begged.
"Ok then not, but seriously... Just talk to someone before you try to do anything rash again, I'm sure Dipper isn't under some kind of spell or whatever you want to call it, he actually became friends with um.. 'him' And you can keep an eye on him have a backup plan if you want to but don't hurt Dipper, it's been a long time since I've seen him this happy"
"Sure" Ford responded as he turned his back to Stan and kept working again.
"Promise" Stan demanded.
"Sure" Ford said nonchalantly once again.
"Ok then... " Stan left the lab and headed to the living room where the kids were sitting, still unsure if it even helped talking to him.
"So how did it go?" Dipper asked as soon as he saw his Grunkle.
"Well... I'm not sure... He said he wouldn't do something rash again so I guess that's something" Stan murmured.
"What?" Dipper asked astonished.
"What I mean is just be careful and keep that thing away from Ford" He said as he looked at Bill.
"Did your class sink that hard Pines?" Bill said as he raised his eyebrow.
"Look I don't care what you are, just don't annoy Ford because that won't end well for any of us" Stan said as he moved closer to Bill and pulled him up by the collar "If I find out you are up to something, I will punch you from existence once again!"
"Well didn't that work well the last time" Bill laughed at Stan. By mocking Stan he did get punched in the face, he released him from the grab.
"Don't test my patience Cipher" Stan exclaimed as he headed upstairs.
Dipper immediately went to check in Bill face "Shit are you ok?"
"Yes I'm.. " Bill said as he wiped the blood of his lips with the back of his hand.
"Holy... That must have hurt, wait do you even feel pain? " Mabel asked.
"Of course, the wounds regenerate faster but I do feel pain, you humans are way too fragile..." Bill uttered.
"Let me get some ice..." Mabel said as she stood up and headed to the kitchen.
"You do know you earned that one... " Dipper said.
"I know" Bill answered without hesitation.
Dipper just sighed at the demons answer "Can I get you something?"
"A kiss" Bill grinned.
"I seriously don't know what I'm supposed to do with you... " Dipper murmured.
"It heals everything didn't your mum tell you that?" Bill smirked.
"Again with that... Gosh the shit I do for you" Dipper leaned in to kiss Bill on the edge of his lips where he was hurt.
Bill placed his hand on Dipper back head pulling him in for a real kiss and didn't let go of him, with that Dipper couldn't resist and started mimicking Bill's movements with his tongue.
Mabel came back from the kitchen and just coughed very loud to let the guys know she was there, with that Dipper immediately separated from Bill and turned red.
"No don't stop on my behalf, but I brought the ice" Mabel held up as small towel with ice in it, she gave it to Bill who held it up to his face.
"Thank you..." he uttered ad he held the ice to his face.
"I would be more careful around the house... " Mabel added out of nowhere.
"Careful? With what?" Dipper asked confused.
"You know, making out with the demon who almost brought the apocalypse? I'm not sure how Stan and Ford will react to that" She said with a serious face.
"It was not the apocalypse... You would have all lived as my pets, in a never ending party, there's a difference" Bill added.
"Dipper your boyfriend is a jerk tell him to talk to the puppet" She said as she raise a score puppet of herself. With that Bill broke out in laughter and Dipper turned red.
"Mabel... Just no... Get rid of the sock puppet" Dipper said as he facepalmed.
"But why... Just to remind you, it wasn't my fault that you borrowed HIM your body" Mabel said furious.
"Please Mabel... " Dipper said in a soft voice with puppy eyes.
"Just because you are the younger one it doesn't mean you get to do that! Be right back... " She said as she headed upstairs. Bill and Dipper where left alone, as soon as the demon saw a chance he leaned in closer to Dipper.
"Just imagine what I could have done with your body and let you watch back then" Bill whispered into Dipper's ear.
"Pervert... " Dipper murmured as he turned red, trying not to show any emotions, since that would only please Bill even further.
"I know" He said as he licked Dipper's ear. As they heard Mabel running back downstairs Dipper pushed Bill away from him.
"One arm length distance!" Dipper demanded.
Mabel was in the living room again with them.
"As I was saying, did you think about telling Stan and Ford about um... Whatever you two are having? " Mabel asked.
"I haven't thought about it... But it's probably not a good idea... Not now" Dipper said embarrassed.
"Then stop sucking each other's faces in the living room" She exclaimed.
"We were not... " Dipper didn't finish his sentence as he blushed.
"I can't wait to tell Candy..." Mabel thought to herself as she sat down.
"What are you going to tell Candy?" Dipper asked.
"What… I didn't say anything... " Mabel looked confused. Bill immediately looked terrified and took Dipper by the hand.
"Come on we are going... " Bill demanded as he pulled Dipper out of the house with him.
"Where are we going...? What's wrong? " Dipper asked confused.
"No questions, just follow... " Bill said annoyed.
Both guys walked to the bottomless pit behind the shack.
"No way I'm going to jump in once again... " Dipper exclaimed.
"Yes you are, Bill said as he took Dipper's hand and pulled him into the pit. Both guys fell for about 5 minutes as they were expulsed out of the pit into the middle of the woods.
"Let's never do that again..." Dipper begged.
"You can walk back" Bill said as he helped Dipper stand up.
"Where are we?" Dipper asked.
"Somewhere far where nobody can hear us talking" Bill said as he started walking, Dipper followed without asking, Bill seemed serious, way too serious and that couldn't mean anything good.
After a while Bill stopped walking "This should be far enough" He sat down on the ground and offered Dipper to sit in front of him of a rock, who obliged.
"What is so important that we had to come here" Dipper questioned.
"Just making sure no soul ever hears what we are going to talk about... " Bill said as he sighed.
Dipper just nodded and sat still afraid of what might come.
"Then… please just hear me out before you say anything... When you got shot the bullet hit a main artery, truth is that you would have died of blood loss before they could get you to the nearest hospital" Bill said with a strained voice.
Dipper followed Bill's instructions and just nodded.
"I can't leave this town because its weirdness magnet so there is no way I could have taken you to a hospital..."
"You never told me that the field worked in your human form as well... " Dipper uttered.
"Because I don't have a reason to leave the town... I didn't think it was important" Bill exclaimed "Anyway.." he sighed. "I can only heal minor wounds... So remember the 'medicine' I gave you?"
"Of course and you didn't want to tell me what it was... Let me guess something went wrong and now you have to tell me? Dipper said as he raised his eyebrow.
"Not wrong... But you need to know about the symptoms so that nothing bad happens" Bill murmured.
Dipper only sighed... "What did you give me?"
"Blood" Bill admitted.
"What?!" Dipper ranted.
"My blood... As I told you this body is only humanoid, my wounds regenerate a lot faster and it was the only way at that moment.. " Bill lamented.
"But it's not that bad... I mean I'm alive" Dipper replied glad and confused at the same time.
"It means you are not 100% human anymore... " Bill said sorrowful.
"Wait.. What?" Dipper said perplexed.
"There shouldn't be any changes in your appearance... Just higher sensibility, smell, sight, regeneration, apparently slight mind reading... Uh... Telekinesis might be a thing, apportation as well the list goes on…I'm not saying its 100% sure that it happens… just that it might happen... This is new territory for me as well" Bill said regretful.
"So I'm not human anymore?!" Dipper yelled as he stood up.
"It's not like that… more like 90% human? Humans with special abilities like ESP or however you humans call that, usually have an ancestor that made a blood pact with a demon… this isn't any different" Bill said thoughtful.
Dipper just couldn't listen anymore and ran.
