Keeping You~ (Gravity Falls Fanfic)

Chapter 2- Hope

"What!?"

Dipper cried out. The Pines started shouting as a protest. Bill snapped his fingers, making the family but Dipper dissappear. Bill chuckled, he made a deal to not kill them, not anything else. He turned to his original form/size.

Dipper was too shocked that he froze. His legs gave in and he collapsed to the hard floor, he lowered his hat to cover his face, only his mouth and down could be seen.

"Kid, look at me"

The demon talked. The boy seemed to not care with making a 90° turn, as if saying 'Go away' or 'Leave me alone'

"Well then have it your way"

The demon was annoyed yet he showed no hints of annoyance by the tone. He made his way out of the room, floating. Dipper lift his hat once the demon was out of the sight.

"Why me...?"

The boy mumbled, he had tears in his eyes but didn't let them fall. 'Why me' was the only question going on his mind. Didn't he got what he wanted, the formula? He could take over the universe so why was he messing with a mortal(!) ?

A thought popped into his head, Bill can't kill him but he can kill Bill. Ford had a demon killer weapon right? They could save him! The only, little hope Dipper had right now was this. He smiled a bit, now he had to wait.

His smile faded, he was dumb being optimistic. They wouldn't save him, even if they tried Bill would capture them.

But can he escape though? He stood up, getting support from the floor. He hold into the cage's metal bars. It was hard, he couldn't break it and he knew it yet he still kicked a metal bar.

He let out a groan of pain, he was weak. He hold his hurt leg, before sitting again. He wouldn't give up. If the muscle couldn't, then brain would.

Bill was watching the boy all the time, reading his thoughts, examining his actions. He couldn't help himself but let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Remember pinetree, I am the all knowing"

He said to himself. He snapped his fingers and the view of his captive dissapeared into thin air.

He floated out of the pyramid, looking at the town. Most people were out of the town, thinking they would be safe there and since there weren't eyeballs and weirdness bubbles it was pretty much easier.

The town looked abonded. Only one person's voice was heared, a feminie. She was there, with a broken microphone and a camera. The news reporter got the demon's attention.

"It'z Shandra Jimenez! It is the second day of the dream demon called Bill's returnal. He hasn't tried anything yet, the townsfolk moved to cities. We don't know what is happening around the world, but while we have the barrier of Gravity Falls, he can't go out"

The woman sighed as she head to the camera and stopped the video. Bill didn't do anything and watched her leave.

The demon floated over all the town, the townsfolk who didn't leave the town got away from him, screaming. When he was going through the houses people closed the curtains.

That was until a boy came up to him, he was about 5 years old.

"You are so cool!"

He said, excited. A woman came running but stopped once she saw the demon.

"Fred! Come here!"

She shouted, she was the daughter of the boy. But the boy didn't care his mother's words.

"Can you do magic!?"

He shouted, the mother was calling out his name non-stop.

"Of course kid, wanna see a 'magic'"?

The demon asked, boy replied with a 'yes'. His mother got alarmed and rushed near his son, to protect him if she could.

But she was late when Bill turned him to ashes. The mother yelled, his son had died in front of him. The mother collapsed on the floor, her cries being loud.

Bill chuckled at the view before floating away. He arrived to the pyramid, nothing anormal. But before he could go to his lovey dovey pinetree, Time Baby was waiting for him.

"Didn't I destroy you the last time?"

The demon asked.

"I can re-appear endless. Axotol wants you back Bill Cipher"

"Well tell them I have bussiness to do!"

Bill snapped his fingers and teleported to the room, not liking the talk. Dipper was at his cage. It was sun-set now. He was looking through the pyramid's 'window' you can call it.

Bill made the window dissappear to get the boy's attention and it worked. Dipper looked at him with a mad face.

"Hey!"

The boy shouted. Bill walked to the cage. Dipper walked away until he came to the cage's end while the demon got nearer.

"These are not metal, pinetree. They are made from magic"

Bill said as he touched the cage's walls. Dipper's eyes widened, how did he know!?

"I won't kill you or your family boy, but I am gonna keep you. And I have just one rule: Don't attempt to escape"

The demon talked, like a teacher. But the worst, he wasn't a teacher. He was a dream demon. He continued.

"If you break the rule you'll get a punishment. Forexample you did break one today by trying to escape"

"What!? But I didn-"

The boy protested but was cut off by Bill turning off the lights with a snap of fingers

He had started dropping sweats, he didn't know what was coming next nor did he want to know but he didn't have a choice. The loophole of the deal was this.

He started to feel a cold sensation over his upper body. He noticed he didn't have his shirt.

"Bill what the-"

The boy was cut off for a second time when he heared what sounded like a knife.

"You wouldn't!"

Dipper was scared for his life, his entire being. Bill could torture him in many ways.

"Oh I would"

Bill cooed. The knife touched his bare back causing him to wince. The knife moved a bit, not deep. But minute by minute the knife got deeper and deeper, it came to a point where Dipper grew tears on his eyes

It felt like hell. Everything hurt. The demon was not stopping, he was just going for more

He stopped after a hour. It was a miracule Dipper was still standing. The demon had another idea, it was not enough.

The demon made a glass of alchocol appear in his hand. He slowly poured the alcohol on the boy's bleeding scars.

Dipper had never bear with this much pain before. He felt like he was set on fire. Black dots danced in his vision.

He passed out of experiencing much pain. Bill watched the boy fall to the ground. He had fell facedown so his back could be seen.

Bill had drew himself on the boy's back. A painter with a knife. He admired his work before floating away, oh boy what he could do with the human...
