    Bill's P.o.V

        "Fine..."

        FINALLY! Bill screamed internally as the kid passed out, he must really trust me!

        "He's over here!" The demon heard one of the cultists yell and he remembered why he wanted to possess Pine Tree in the first place. After all, he wasn't ever planning on possessing the kid again. Honestly his weak meatsack was awful to possess, but Bill had his own plans with the kid. Plans that were now in jeopardy if these guys kill him. So Bill took control of the teen's body, pushing himself up onto his tingling leg, it felt like fire was burning up his calf, the pain making Bill laugh.

        Bill maniacal cackling grew louder as the cultists gathered around him and Pine Tree, staring at them with baffled confusion. The head of the ringleader stepped up and asked, "Master Bill?" 

        "I'm surprised that you wackos are still going!" Bill shouted with glee, leaning against the tree beside him to look cool, totally not because the leg wound was actually really painful, "I thought I wiped all of you out!"

        "Yes, the---the test you gave us, we persevered and are ready to serve you yet again." The man in the gilded robe bowed low, being mimicked by the other cult freaks. This just made Bill cackle again, doubled over in crazed laughter that seemed to echo through the trees.

        "You guys are about as sharp as marbles!" Bill managed to gasp through his laughter, making the cloaked heads turn and look at each other in confusion. "That wasn't meant to be a test you oafs, it was meant to wipe you all out!"

        "But Master Bill we are all your loyal disciples. We would do anything for you." The gilded leader spoke again, outstretching his hands towards the combination Bill and Dipper. "Including getting rid of the things that will lead to your downfall."

        Swiftly, Bill batted the man's hand away, stumbling back to another tree and shooting him and deadly glare. The cultist's closed the circle around him, making him huff with frustration, these cult wackos are really getting annoying, he thought to himself. "Look, the symbol people are off limits for a reason, even I won't test the fates. If you kill Pine Tree here or any of the other people from my wheel, it'll be your head that those fine ladies will have. Trust me I've tried."

        The cultists glanced at each other clearly confused but they continued to descend on to the two. "HEY!" Bill shouted, making them all freeze again. "I'm telling you to stop or so help me when I my plans come to fruition this cult will be the first thing up in flames. Disband now or you will all suffer for eternity under my rule." He snarled, poking Pine Tree's finger into the gilded robe person's chest. "That's not an empty threat either, get out of here." He hissed lowly, staring right into the person's eyes with a deadly malice. Seeming to understand, the robed person nodded and raised his hands, indicating to the other cultists to pull back. They all let out a murmur before dispersing back into the trees.

        Bill let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, he felt that Pine Tree was sweating and the leg wound was getting way more painful than it was funny. He knew that if the kid died here all of his plans would be shaken plus he'd be kind of bored without the kid to chat with. So with great difficulty Bill began the trek back to the Shack, he had never been so grateful to see the ratty old shack that Sixer had made a home. He stumbled onto the porch just in time for Fez to open the door.

        "Holy crap, kid, you look like you were chased by wolves." Fez chuckled but he helped Bill and Dipper sit on a chair on the porch.

        "Ergh, something like that." Bill grunted, sighing at the pain and now having to act like Pine Tree. The old man looked at the bloody and dirt covered part of his jeans and rolled the pant up above their knee.

        "Yeesh kid, how'd you manage this?" He asked, making eye contact with the boy/demon mix who quickly glanced away.

        "Tripped on a tree root and took a hard fall." He said truthfully but omitted the part about being chased by crazy cultists.

        "Mmmm, think we are gonna have to amputate." Fez hummed, observing the wound closer. Bill's eyes widened, pulling his leg away from this coot.

        "No way!" He snapped, protecting Pine Tree's leg like it was his own. This just made Fez burst into laughter, slapping the arm rest beside them.

        "I'm not serious kid, you'll survive. Let me go grab some first aid things." He stood up with a grunt and walked into the shack. Bill leaned his head back, sighing, these humans have a weird definition of a joke. He thought to himself, looking at the awning covering the porch. Suddenly, Pine Tree's translucent spirit popped his head over Bill's gaze.

        Bill nearly shouted from shock, covering his mouth in time to stop it. Pine Tree floated in front of Bill with a slight glare. "Kid, you're awake? For how long?" He asked, whispering as to not alert Fez. 

        Pine Tree just shrugged, I just woke up. He sighed, putting his hands on his hips as he looked around. Well at least you did bring me back home safely...are those cult guys gonna be a problem.

        "Nah, I don't think so." Bill sighed leaning back on the bench. "I think I scared them off."

        Mhmmmm. Pine Tree sounded uncertain but he sat down. Fine, I believe you. Can I have my body back?

        "Oh, don't you want to rest more?" Bill asked, giving Pine Tree a side eye. The kid looked uncertain, swinging his legs.

        I will once you give me my body back. He said to the demon, scoffing a little. Don't get me wrong I'm still mad at you.

        "C'mon kid, I'll deliver you to your bed safe and sound and then I'll give your body back." He held out a hand, "Pinky swear." This just made the kid roll his eyes but before he could respond, Fez came back out. I shot him a wink before turning to watch the old man patch up Dipper's leg before giving it a solid pat and handing him a couple of small red pellets.

        "Take these, it'll help with the pain. Need some help getting upstairs?" Fez asked, standing back up with a grunt.

        "Nah I got it, F--Stan." Bill said nonchalantly, putting pills in his mouth and getting ready to chew when Pine Tree floated in front of his face.

        Don't chew it! Just swallow them! Bill gave him a baffled look put pushed the bitter pills down his throat with a cringe. Idiot.

        "Hey I knew how to do it." Bill whispered back making Fez turn with a confused look. "N-nothing don't worry." Bill told him, shakily standing up as Fez held the door open for him to limp inside. Pine Tree followed behind, fretting as Bill shakily walked up the stairs, clinging onto the railing and panting as he made it to the top.

        "Your body is far too weak, Pine Tree. You really should work out." Bill told the ghost pointedly who huffed and rolled his eyes. He managed to get into the room and collapse onto his bed, not even bothering with the filthy clothes or getting under the blankets. He shut his eyes and relinquished control of Pine Tree's body and he immediately passed out.
