Chapter 2
Years pass and Bill finally turned 13. In the middle of the night, when it was quieter than usual, Bill found that Sophie had left his window unlocked. He slipped out unnoticed and ran as fast as possible to anywhere but there. Sophie was sleeping. Bill ran until he couldn't run anymore, then hitched a ride on the first car he saw. "Where you headed?" they asked. "ANYWHERE." he replied, almost begging. "Okay." They headed back to the nearest town, Gravity Falls. "Thank you so much!" he told them as he jumped out of the car. "Hey, do you need us to call your parents? You seem a bit young to be-" he slammed the car door and ran off before they could finish. They watched run off. "Oh well. He's dead."
He ran into the woods as it got darker and darker. He finally stumbled upon a small abandoned house. He stumbled inside finding it full of torn up old furniture and strange animal scratches on the walls, floor and, well, everything. But it was empty, he was tired and he had already fallen asleep on the couch. Sophie woke the next morning and was furious. Bill slept soundly for the first time since their parents died and woke late in the afternoon. The town was active and going about their business. Sophie was trying to track Bill. Bill cautiously crept outside and wandered into town. He explored for a while, though he was awkward around people.
A young girl was wandering about in the forest. Sophie kept trying different spells. Bill walked around and found a library, and although the puppet shows there sucked, Bill enjoyed reading and spent the rest of the day there. He found newspapers about missing kids that disappeared after their parents died. "What...?" he gathered the other newspapers from around that date and brought them over to a table in the corner. he read them all finally learning the children's names: 'Sapphire and Bill Cipher, runaways thought to be dead.' he stared at the paper for a few minutes until someone touched his shoulder, scaring the heck outta him, telling him they were closing.
"You can come back tomorrow." She said. "O- Okay, sorry!" he said, rushing out the door. He ran back to his house in the woods and actually explored the place. He found a bedroom, mostly untouched except for the occasional blood stains. The girl in the woods saw him go to the house and kept it in mind. 'Didn't they kill someone in there last week?' she thought to herself. He found some old blankets and a pillow and curled up to sleep. He heard a wolf howl. A pack were hunting close by. The girl watched the house overnight. Bill snored away. There was a wolf asleep on the back porch the next morning. Bill woke up, ate some food he had brought with him and walked out the back door, which was facing the town, to head to the librar- and now he was on the ground. "Wh- what?" he mumbled deliriously.
The wolf shot up when it felt someone trip over it and got a good look at him before rushing into the forest. Bill slowly got up and looked around. "What the heck was that?" he saw something brown, possibly a dog. He hurried into town before whatever the heck it was came back. The girl watched him go into town. Bill went back to the library and found the newspapers again. He read for hours. The girl waited for him to come home. After reading the papers thoroughly, he went and walked around town some more. After getting something to eat, he walked 'home' and started cleaning up a bit. The girl watched him from the woods. He looked up from cleaning and saw a girl wearing dark clothes and a hood watching him. He stepped outside. "Um... hello?" he called to her. "Do you need something?"
She simply nodded slightly but still stood there. "Well, what do you want" he asked, walking to her. "Why are you out here?" "Um... I'm staying in here?" "You know that people have died in there right?" "Um..." he shuddered, and thought for a moment. "Where else would I go?" "There's a hotel in town." "Well, unless they let me in free I'm screwed." he huffed, looking down. "I can hook you up." she told him. "Um... thanks?" Bill awkwardly stood there. "Why are you helping me?" "I've been watching over you since you came here. To make sure you didn't die." Bill looked at her. "You've been... watching me?" he asked, taking a step back. "Don't you think that's a bit weird?!" "If I hadn't been watching you, you would have died the first night. Did you not hear the wolves?" Bill bit his lip and looked down. She smiled slightly.
"So um... where exactly is that hotel you told me about?" "Just on the edge of town." She replied. "I'll grab my bag." he walked back inside and ran upstairs. The girl nodded and waited for him. There was a loud howl followed by several others close by. The girl saw them and tried to fend them off but they got inside and she ran off into the woods. Another wolf ran into Bill's room. Bill heard what sounded like a short fight downstairs and quickly grabbed his bag. When he turned around a wolf stood in his door way. He jumped back and screamed. It stood its ground and kicked the door shut and blocked it off. It grabbed his pillow and tossed it at him along with a blanket. He caught them and stared at it, confused.
It then scooped him up and leapt through the window. He screamed some more. It then took him to a cave and let him get off then blocked the entrance. He screeched and instantly backed away from it. "Don't kill me, p- please don't kill Me." he whimpered. It nodded toward the couch. He looked at it as if it might try and bite him. It waited on him. He slowly walked to the couch and sat down, shaking the entire time. "Y- You're not gonna kill me?" It shook its head and walked over to the bed and jumped onto it and transformed suddenly into the girl he was talking to earlier. He stared at her for a few minutes, blank faced... Then he slumped against the couch, passed out.
(For those of you who are confused on why Sap-*Ahm* Sophie turned like that it's because of the book that they found in the woods. The spellbook was cursed to corrupt whoever used it.)
