A lost legend (Gravity Falls x reader)

Chapter 18

Y/N's pov:

I can't sleep. It's past midnight by now and the crescent moon is staring right back at me from the bed. I sigh in frustration as I sit up and let my feet fall to the side of my bed, slowly setting them down on the warm wooden floor. The air is warm yet there's still something in the air that's giving me chills. I've been filled in with some of the details from last summer and now I can't help but be scared. This Bill guy.... could it be my guardian angel? I don't want to believe it- but he even only has a single eye. Granted the other is covered by an eye patch. But- their bill is a demon and mine is a human angel. So- they're different right? Either way I'll be sure not to make any pacts with him. That reminds me.... he once told me demons make them and not angels so I shouldn't worry about it, so- there's nothing to worry about right? I groan softly as I stare from the window to the door. Might as well grab a glass of water or some tea. Something to help me sleep or think of anything else than what's happening right now. I'm a bit surprised to see the lights on dimly downstairs. Grunkle Ford's new lightbulb invention is not only great for your skin, softening it, but also it's brightness can be adjusted. I'm going to ask if he can install one in my room later. "Grunkle Stan?" The man looks up and sighs sadly. "Can't sleep either huh? Here, I'll pour you some tea." I slowly make my way down the stairs fully and head over by his side, quietly thanking him as he hands me a cup. "I didn't know you drank tea- you struck me more of a coffee lover-" He gives me a big goofy grin and holds up his own cup. "I am, but Stanford reminded me earlier I should drink this instead of getting my blood pressure higher than it is right now." Right.... I caused that... I'm the one who possibly is bringing back Bill in some way. He must've read my expression because he puts his hand on my back and gently pushes me to the tv room. "Hey don't worry about it kid, sure you might bring the apocalypse, but that won't end the world. We won't let it happen. For now, why don't you join us?" "Us?" I look into the room and see Grunkle Ford sitting on the couch in his matching pajamas that he's matching with a little duck plushy. I think that's Ducktective? He smiles sadly at me and makes some space so I can sit in the middle between them. I settle down underneath the blanket with them as grunkle Stan hands his brother a cup as well. Silently we watch TV, grunkle Ford managed to save the entire ducktective series. So it is in fact a Ducktective plushy-. They're softly chatting as I sip my tea. Slowly I feel myself getting drowsy, finally feeling safe between them. I got so tired I didn't even notice someone carefully taking my cup out of my hands making sure I don't burn myself and carry me off to bed. Nor did I notice being tucked into it and them smiling fondly over me before quietly leaving my room going back downstairs. 

I was met with a grey pine tree forest again. This time it felt more familiar. These trees- I know I've seen them before. My feet start walking on their own as I head to a clearing. It's not just any clearing. I'm back at the bottom of the waterfall where Dipper and Robbie had dragged me out of the water as I had been drowning. Subconsciously I reach for the back of my neck where I felt my guardian angel give me warmth and strength as well as air for a little longer. "I've heard humans try to avoid visiting the place of their trauma in their subconscious before. What makes you come back here?" I almost jump at the sudden voice next to me. The only person with color here besides me, the only other being other than animals that is. "It's you-" He smiles sadly at me as I slightly back away. "Are you- scared of me now? I can't really blame you human. After all, you only now just found out of my brother." Yeah right. Likely story. "It's true" Shit right- he can read thoughts- another smile, it's somehow not sinister either. I don't think they've ever been scary-. "Nice to know you're admiring my smile now princess." He falls over backwards and lands softly on his ass in the grass, slightly levitating right before he hits the ground. "You never heard the story of how Lucifer became a fallen angel and how he had brothers?" "Of course I have, what's your point?" I warily sit down next to him. I don't feel threatened but I'm not entirely sure if I can trust him yet. "That wounds me, but it's expected." "Stop reading my mind" He chuckles. "It's not like I can help it, it's a blessing as well as it's a curse. Knowing what people truly think of you? It's terrifying at times... But yes brother... twin to be precise. When we were young, we didn't have the best life. The person we thought loved us went and sold us to some masters up above. We did what we had to survive. But in the end it was him that took the fall as he killed them. Technically we weren't even related, well- not in the same way. The masters had gone through multiple dimensions trying to get all copies of us in every reality. Only a handful of us survived. Kill, Will, Bill and I. Kill and Bill ended up murdering the masters causing them to get cursed to become demons. We managed to each get back to our own dimension but something went wrong and both Bill and I got sucked into the dream dimension instead. While I was blessed as an angel, he got called a demon. He'd no longer listen to any reason as his mind had fallen trying to cover the pain of what he had to do, driving him to insanity. I had to watch myself turn into someone I wished to never be. Which only scares me what Kill's dimension will be like. Will might be fragile but he'll be ok. Kill however has always been fists first before conversation. I can only hope his mind hasn't fallen like Bill's."

I stare at him absolutely stunned. I had not expected this entire confession, although it does make me feel more at ease. "I won't ask you to help me stop him, I can't do that after what you've been through. So please, when he does come, look away. Don't look through my eyes. I don't want you to see an even worse side of yourself." The angel seems surprised but gives me a gentle smile. "Thank you Y/N- you don't know how much that means to me" I softly lean against him, side-hugging him. He chuckles and puts his arm over my shoulder as I for the first time see scars on his hands. They're very thin lines but they're clearly there. Is that how-? "It is.... you're wondering about my eye right? We were all just human shaped beings coming from our own dimensions, but yes.... The masters cut out an eye of each of us, using it to bind us to them so we'd have to obey them. They let us keep one so we wouldn't be blind hassles when they got us to do their chores." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry-" I feel bad now. How could I have ever suspected him? That must've really hurt... especially after having saved me and that's the thanks he gets? He chuckles as I lay my head down on his shoulder feeling a bit drowsy. "Don't worry my little bird, if I didn't want you to know I wouldn't have told you so. Besides, it's been thousands of years. Let's enjoy the present instead and leave the past in the past don't you think?" I softly hum in delight as he snaps his fingers and everything gets colors and starts to move as if we were really there, watching the scenery. Little did I know, inside of his pocket watch was a small picture. A selfie to be precise. With not four, but three people on it, all missing one eye that's covered with an eye-patch. Two bloody corpses in the background, a kind of scared but still happy blue version of dream Bill being hugged by the side to fit into the frame by a red version of dream Bill who looks way to happy with blood on his face. And lastly, the one holding the camera, dream bill with blood on his face and a just as happy grin as his red counterpart. A big grin knowing he'll bend the world to his will so he'll never be the one at the bottom of the pyramid again.
