In His Clutches

CHAPTER 3

PREVIOUSLY:
Before he could think a lot about it, he saw the all-too familiar glowing yellow bricked hat, accompanied by the humanoid demon. 

He may look human, but his lack of morality and sympathy  makes him too evil to be called ‘human’.  Dipper is in shock, and the cold sweat on his forehead freezes in its tracks. He's about to scream for Ford or Stan, but Bill interrupts him with a threat one he knows will get Dipper to be quiet: “Do you want that nightmare to become a reality? Want a world where you are the reason for her death? Do you really want that Pinetree? If so, I will gladly make it so.” His smile was far too genuine for Dipper to even risk. All Dipper could answer was a, "Wait, no! I’ll do anything!” Bill asks, "Anything?''  Dipper instantly responded “YES! Yes, anything, just don’t hurt my family. Please.” Bill chuckled darkly and demanded “Come over here Pinetree, if you'll do anything, you will come with me willingly.” Dipper got out of bed and stiffly walked over to Bill just as told. “Good boy, Pinetree, it looks like you really do care for your family.” Bill mocked Dipper. Dipper had wanted to tell Bill to shut up but he wouldn't risk his family's lives like that. Bill opened a portal and dragged Dipper harshly through it by his hair. All the 15 year old could do was whimper in pain and fear. A million questions flooded the poor boy's head “ What’s he going to do to me? Am I going to die? How is he still alive? Why am I still alive?”  Bill screamed at Dipper “ Shut up Pinetree or you won't have a tongue to utter those annoying thoughts.” Dipper tried to silence his thoughts and behave. He was terrified, he didn't want to be hurt but he just couldn't stop thinking. Bill got so tired of Dipper's constant thoughts he hit him just hard enough to knock him out. 
Dipper only caught glances of everything else on the way there. Only just a tree here, some metal stairs there, a weird tiled floor and then darkness.
    Eventually, Dipper fully regained consciousness and opened his eyes. He was greeted by a cold, dark cave. It was mostly gray rock, with some weird sludge on the floor. With a quick look around the area, he saw a small room that looked like a panel room, a  bunch of tunnels coming through to the area, and some odd freezing tubes with something that looked like him in it. It took Dipper a bit to connect the dots, as he was still just trying to wake up, but eventually it clicked. “This is Ford’s old bunker!”  He then heard Bill's voice, it was in a mocking tone “ How smart of you Pinetree, but you know that you won't even try and run, you wouldn't risk their lives. Would you?”
