The outside was getting dark now, Bill's eyes fluttered opened and scanned his current surroundings... No signs of the human. He poked his head out of the blanket and let out a soft yawn, his hands stretched up above his head.

Where's Ford? The demon thought to himself, he pushed off the futon and stumbled to the door. His hand slowly reached out and gripped onto the cold steel handle, he turned it until the door clicked. The door moved to the side opening and letting the demon escape, he wandered into the lift letting It carry him upstairs. He arrived at the steps and quickly pounced on each step to the very top, he carefully slipped passed the vending machine and roamed the shack.

The demon was careful with his steps not wanting to be caught and questioned by any of the Pines, he came into the living room and glanced at Soos and Mabel who was watching some sort of cartoon. The show seemed very distasteful to Bill, he was never really interested in T.V though he thought it was nice that the volume was loud enough to mask his steps. He moved on, slipping up the steps slyly his bare feet softly padding all the way up.

Bill paused at a sudden laughter in one of the rooms, he quickly moved against the wall that was secured by the shadows.
Ford descended from the room and following him was a short boy with brown messy hair, Dipper Pines. Bill didn't really feel all too good around that pinetree, no. In fact, he wished he would've gotten away with possessing his body and throwing himself off the water tower

What an amazing sight that would've been too!

He observed the two pines boys make their way down the steps and into the living room, the demon was surprised he was left unnoticed.
Maybe I could escape. Bill's thoughts flooded his head with possible choices he had at this very moment, maybe he could escape. What would they do? What would the pines do? Most importantly what would Ford do? Bill didn't wait to risk his time to be caught, he slipped into the twin's bedroom and stared at the window. The triangular shape formed the sun's rays forward just enough to reflect on Bill's face with a soft blue. He started to ponder again whether this was a good idea or not… It was. Not even a second thought passed through his mind, he grabbed the stool by the desk and threw it as hard as he could, breaking the window into small shards. His eyes grew big at the bursting light of the outside world welcoming him to freedom. The demon climbed onto the desk and peered down below. The drop was very far down, he had to be careful. He slipped his legs out first and tried to reach for the rooftop.

"BILL WHAT ARE YOU- "Ford's voice was gruff, almost anger and worry mix. He was already making his way towards the demon, his hands reached out to grab him.

The smaller man's cat-like eyes became slits in distress at the thought of being captive again. I have to be quick, I need to leave. He'll get me! He'll get me!
He stood on the ledge, balancing carefully still trying to reach the rooftop. He could feel the scientist presence already nearing his legs, he had to jump. That's the only way, take a chance and jump. Bill took one last swipe at the edge and leaped upwards, his torso landed on the roof causing him to desperately claw up until he was in the clear. He leaned against the chimney and took a few breaths of relief before taking off to the other side of the shack. There's no turning back now.

Hours had passed by and Ford was left pacing in the twin's room trying to figure out what he could do to prevent the demon causing any harm to the outside world, let alone himself. This wasn't good… This wasn't good at all. Who knows what Bill is capable of in this form? Ford cursed himself for leaving his lab unattended.

"What are we going to do grunkle ford?" Dipper's voice interrupted his uncles thoughts.

"We're going to look for him my boy, I'm going to take you with me." Ford walked past Dipper and down the steps into the living room. He walked in front of the TV grabbing the attention of Soos and Mabel who were enjoying their animated nonsense.

"Is there something wrong ?" Soos questioned. He could already tell by the sour expression of the scientist that something was definitely not right.

"I need you two to watch the shack's perimeter. Keep on a look out for any signs of Bill!"

Mabel eyes widened a bit "You mean he's gone?" Her voice sounded a bit worried but not for herself, more like for Bill. That kind of surprised Ford because Mabel always seemed to be the one most affected by the demon's negativity. A lot of times she would even apologize to the family for being tricked into giving off the rift for an endless summer. Ford reassured her many times that none of it was her fault but his own.

"Yes. He escaped through your and Dipper's room, if we're going to catch him we need to act fast!" Ford balled his hand to a fist and brought it up to his side. "Who knows where he could be or what he could do, but I rather catch him than to find out. Soos can we borrow your truck for the search?" Soos gave Ford an approving nod and reached for his pocket giving the man his keys. Ford swung them between his fingers into a firm grab. Ford and Dipper headed to the truck as Soos and Mabel stayed behind to search the yard. Dipper opened the door and swung himself inside and buckled in, he shut the door and watched his twin head off into the woods. Ford came in on the other side of the vehicle and shut the door, turning the key in the ignition.

"Grunkle Ford, are they going to be okay? If they run into Bill?" Dippers voice cracked, he was anxious about his twin getting hurt or even worse… Deep down Dipper knew that she would be okay, but you can never be so sure. Especially with Bill.

"She'll be okay." Ford's voice wasn't very comforting, probably because Ford didn't know himself. He didn't want to give Dipper false hope if something were to happen to his twin, hopefully nothing will. They drove off into town, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, well no more than usual. Dipper laid his head against the window and watched for any signs of the demon, they made their way onto a dirt road just leaving the town.

Meanwhile, Mabel and Soos were heading into the wilderness, excited for their assigned trip! Mabel skipped around the vines and tree trunks with exposed roots while calling Bill's name over and over. Almost obnoxiously. Soos was not far behind laughing along with her and doing the same, the two came up to a steep drop with a stream below."Maybe he's down there!" Mabel slid down the steep side and plopped on the muddy sand. She turned around just to see the demon not present. The girl frowned and walked along the stream hoping to find any clues of Bill. "Bill, please come out! It's just me! Your friend Mabel!" the girl didn't really like Bill, but that didn't mean she didn't care about him.
She cared for everyone! Besides it would be smart for Bill to trust her.
