(Gravity Falls) The Other Northwest

Chp 10. Bill

I looked in the mirror and sighted. My glasses had turned into contacts and my messy ponytail into a perfect braid. My makeup was done so nicely I looked like a model. This wasn't me. I took my journal, a pen, my DS and my phone pushing them all inside a small bag that matched my shoes perfectly. "Atlantica! Come out dear we haven't got all day!" My mom yelled knocking on the door. "Coming!" I said and opened the blue door. "Are you ready?" She asked me. I nodded. We where going to my grandparents'. I hadn't seen them since my father kicked them out of their own manor, 10 years ago. I was two. "Tell Pacifica we're leaving" mom said. I nodded and ran to my sister's room. "Llama!" I yelled, she opened the door in anger and slapped me, then closed it. I fell to the floor in shock. "I told you not to call me that!" I could tell by her tone that she'd been crying. I pressed my ear against the door. "I'm sorry, are you okay?" She started crying again. "My favorite shoes are missing!" She cried. I rolled my eyes and left.

Outside our Butler was pushing a big cardboard box into the limo. I raised an eyebrow and my father answered my un-said question. "It is a television for your cousins, and it was so cheap too! Only 2.000.000 dollars!!" I rolled my eyes. My friends would've thought I was a queen right now. "Do we have to go to grandpa's?" Father's eyes widened "GRANDFATHER'S!" he yelled and I soon felt his palm across my face. I went inside the car slowly. Two slaps in one hour. It had to be a record. Atleast for me.

We got to the second Northwest Mansion, in Oklahoma in what felt like fifteen years. I could've been 27. I looked at my face on my phone's camera. Nope, I still looked twelve. Thank the dream demon. Father rang the doorbell and the huge doors opened slowly. My cousins, Sky and Sea Northwest, came running out. Sky towards Pacifica, showing of her coral blue nails. Pacifica's face turned red with anger, that was exactly the colour she had asked for years ago. I laughed and soon saw Sea (who was a boy) in front of me. "Heyo!" He said as he held up his hand for the secret handshake. I hadn't done it in a while but it felt like I did it every day. Highfive, fist pump, elbow, arm wrestle. I laughed with a little snort. "It's been so long! How's Giddeon?!" He asked, elbowing me. I rolled my eyes, Sea knew that I had always hated Giddeon, but I came up with a good comeback. "How's Lala?" I asked him. Lala was Giddeon's cousin (she went to Sea's school and his first kiss). He puffed his cheeks pretending to puke. I smiled.

I had gotten another slap today for calling the butler by his name and teaching him the secret handshake. Now we where eating dinner, my face red and hurting. We where not aloud to speak, use electronic devices, roll our eyes, put our things on the table, stomp our feet, make any kinds of funny faces or breathe loudly while eating. So it was hard to be my self, since these where some of the things I was best at (except breathing loudly LOL). Sea and I had made up a secret language out of chews and clinks. I told him to pass me the potatoes. So he did. We where having a normal dinner until... "Atlantica dear! Can you come with me?" Father asked as he stood up. I followed him. "What's up Father?" I asked him. Something was wrong with his eyes. They seemed a little yellow. Then I saw his body drop to the floor and a demon come put of his mouth, but it wasn't any demon. "Bill!" I shouted. "So you remember me Glasses!" He said exitedly. "You're the one who took my sight from me! How can I forget?" Suddenly my contacts where off, I saw the yellow figure moving towards me and closed my eyes. I felt a knife being buried into my arm. I screamed, too scared to open my eyes, but when I finally did my glasses, not my contacts, my glasses where on me. I felt another knife. This time on the back of my leg and I saw my whole life flash past me. My mom. When Bill stabbed my eyes. Getting my glasses. The Secret Society. My journal. Candy and Grenda. Monster hunting with Soos. Sea. Pacifica, when we played together. And lastly. Dipper...
