"I want to make a deal with you."
The sound echoes through my head. Aren't demons the only ones who make deals? I don't want to sell my soul! Have I been lied to all along?! "Calm down Y/N... I did not lie to you. Besides that's such a human thing to think only demons make deals. Don't you guys have the exact same thing called contracts? It's the same thing only you're selling off your lives. I'm willing to write the deal on paper so you're sure I'll stay in line but let me tell you what it is first, you can still refuse if you don't agree with it." He does have a point... but still- "What's the deal about?"
"I want you to make a deal with me so I become human. There's something I want to do in the physical realm but I have to have a physical form for it. So, please... I can promise you I won't do anything to hurt anyone mentally or physically including animals, and I'll only be human from 9 PM until midnight if that helps you feel better. I can also promise you that I won't make anything that'll later on become a doomsday device." "That's- awfully specific." "I have to be or you won't trust me. Besides those are some things that demon Bill has done to your friends before. The animals thing I mentioned before? He took a deer's teeth out and put them back in just for fun." I don't think I see any loopholes in there. "Sure but one more condition. I need to know what you'll be doing or no deal." Bill looks down fumbling with his fingers. "While I can't say exactly what I'll be doing, I can tell you it's a surprise and I'll be right next to you when you discover what it is."
This is such a bad idea- "Deal." As our hands touch blue flames surround them. I guess it's settled then. "I do have a question before I wake up though-" I quickly try to hold onto him as the world around us starts to become see-through. Indicating I'm about to wake up. "Do you actually like me?" Bill cups my cheek and I can barely make out the words he says. "You're the only one in whose dreams I want to be in every night"
God, I need a shower. I'm sweating so much! Well- after that nightmare it's no wonder. Looking down next to my bed I see my dreamcatcher with a loose knot that had not been tied up tight enough before. I can't help but smile. He is real, this only proves it. Quickly taking new clothes I head to the bathroom and take a hot shower. I pat my slightly damp hair with a towel as I join Dipper at the dining table. "You're up early- Oh god- did you get any sleep at all?" I'm shocked as the teenager looks up from his notes with the biggest eyebags I've ever seen. "Oh hi Y/N- I've just been trying to decipher this wheel is all- the numbers are kind of hard to read and I don't know if they're in the right order." "Let me see, I used to try and decode my doctor's handwriting as a child. Hm- Oh, that's easy enough!" I start patiently pointing out every number in order, slow enough for him to draw the symbols and write the correct alphabet next to it. "Hey, why don't you get another hour or two of sleep while I start to decode what's in the journal for you?" Dipper looks at me unsure before slowly handing me the book. "Don't give it to anyone but me, never let it out of sight, guard it with your life." He must be really attached to this book. "I promise." He rubs his neck tiredly as he heads back upstairs. I can't help but chuckle and lay down the journal next to the notebook. Slowly going through the book and stopping at every page to write down whenever it had the code. It was slowly starting to horrify me.
(Warning: actual parts of the book will be in here, if you wish to decode them on your own time then skip this!)
June 18; Ive been inside your mind sixer I know your secrets
Gnomes page; theyre too dumb to possess Ive tried
Page 'myself'; birthday june fifteenth deathday sooner than you think
little catchy what a dream held her hand and made her scream
My muse page; spying on you was a breeze, there are eyes inside the trees
yes, that's not horrifying-
Leprecorn page; watch out
kill me please
The bottomless pit page; some of this junk ended up in my dimension
History page; asked shaman to build first portal big mistake the thing was made out of twigs guy lit himself on fire to try to end my reign drama queen
Great flood page; dont care for prestons face might fix it one day
(You can read again)
While some of them were horrifying, others were admittedly funny. Some of them I straight-up did not understand. All good and all until I stumbled upon a certain page. My muse has spoken. Really Grunkle Ford? You didn't find it the tiniest bit suspicious? I turn the page to some weird machine. I think I've seen pieces of it in the basement. I start translating the code hidden in the corner of the page, almost completely hidden and hard to read due to it having some dirt on it.
Should I ever fall my little feather, youll be the key to my freedom!
Feather. There's that word again! I quickly start to go through the journal, no longer caring about decoding the rest of it. It's extremely time-consuming and Dipper and the others will soon be up. I need to know! Is there anyone who can tell me more?! Crystal Baldwin! Oh no Grunkle Ford! Why did you rebury him?! With no clues on where to find him again either?! Ghosts? No, they know of the past, why would they see the future more than I do? Island Beast? That could work. It's probably a very old creature, it might know something. If that doesn't work there's the palm reader. According to the journal, she can be creepy and collects hands. She'll be the last resort. Other than that there's time traveling but I have no idea how to even come into contact with one of those people. And then... there's Bill. Nope! Never. I'm never asking that triangle for help. Never. Angel Bill? Hm, no. It seems to be a sensitive topping for him. I'll try the others first. Just as I close the journal, I hear rumbling upstairs. Finished looking just in time it seems. Maybe one of the alternative universe me's chose to ignore all the signs and not go looking on my own. In that case, I'll make sure to do my research and not end up in a horrible world. I'll make my own path if I have to. Faith? Who is that? You've got Y/N to deal with now. And I'm not going down without a fight.
