He has returned (Gravity Falls fanfiction)

chapter seven

The room was silent. Ford thougth for a long time. He couldnt risk Bill Cipher regaining his powers but he also couldnt risk loosing his family and his home. Stan, Dipper and Mabel did not know what to do and couldnt even comprehend what had just happened to Ford. Ford had to contact the oracle but he had no clue how, now that the portal was finally destroyed. He had to find a way. But that would take a lot of time, to much probably. He decided that he had to do it. He had to make Bill Cipher not only understand what it is like to be human, but make him one. He promised himslef to never ever trust him, no matter what. He had done that mistake one time to often.

"We will do it." Ford said.

"But what- ARE YOU INSANE?!" Stan grabbed his brothers shoulders, pulling him towards him. "What is going on?" 

"I will explain it to you later, I promise you, not right now" Ford replied. His eyes begging Stan to believe him. The twins stared at each other. Ford couldnt believe how much more mature Stan has gotten over the span of just one year, but he was glad to have his brother with him in this moment. Stan let go of him and retreated back to the teens. Mabel grabbed Stans sleeve for comfort. He put his arm around her, hugging her from the side.

"Thank you Stanford Pines. I have Bill fairly under control for now so he is not abel to do anything. When he acts out I can posess him, but that makes me weaker so please try to handle him yourself. As I said he will not remember this conversation and he does not know about the prophecy. You will succeed, I can feel it." With those words Bills eyes stopped glowing green before they fell closed again. He slumped down, unconcious. For a few seconds nothing happened, then Bill woke up again. When his vision cleared he understood what had happened to him. He had been posessed by that witch. His grudge towards her grew more everyday. Posession was only nice and fun for the one posessing. Secong thing he noticed was, that he had no clue what Mary had actually said or done inside of his body. The state he had been in had been very uncomfortable. He couldnt really describe it but it felt like being blind. The blindness you have when only closing one of two eyes and the darkness you see with th closed eye. Very unsetteling.

"We will help you, Cipher. But there are rules you have to follow and if you break just one of them, I will put a bullet in your head again." Ford told Bill firmly. At the memory Bill shivered, very unpleasant, would rather not experience again. Bill nodded. He felt his hand getting numb due to the ropes.

"Could you untie me before continuing, Fordsy?" Bill blinked his lashes at him. Ford looked disgusted.

"When I am done with the rules, maybe."

"Geez, dont be so harsh to a twelve year old, Sixer."

"First rule, do not call any of us those weird pet names ever again."

Bill grew more disappointed by the second.

"Whaaaaaat? Thats unfair, where is the fun in that? They dont do any harm, do they?"

Fords gun was at Bills throat faster than before:" Never again!" Bill swallowed:" Okay, Si-, Ford. Mr Pines. I dunno, what else should I call you then?"

" 'Ford' is good, 'sir' is better if you want me to respect you."

Bill nodded, the gun still being at his throat. Only now Ford put it slowly away again.

"Continuing, you will help out in the Mystery Shack throughout the day as much as needed. We will see where you can sleep. I will not let you unguarded ever. Either I, Stan or Dipper and Mabel will be by your side all the time. If you run away: Bullet. If you trick us: Bullet. If you hurt anyone: Bullet. You understand where this is going?" Bill just nodded again. He was getting more and more annoyed by the old man. His plan was to win over their trust and then make a deal with the first best nobody he found and have his revenge. How to even make a deal without powers he would have to find out but he had the confidence and in his opinion most definitively the charm for it.

"Stan, you can untie him now" Ford said. Stan kneeled down and did as he was told. Ford now, for the first time had the opportunity to really examine the boy. He was wearing a white T-shirt (well, it was white once, now it was mostly red), and black shorts. His hair was black, tangled and clumped, also because of the blood. His face was soft and round. Also full of blood. His eyes were green, bushy eyebrows but the lashes of a girl. In general, if Bill would decide to let his hair grow, he could be mistaken for a girl. Ford in general hated the face.

When Stan was done, Bill didnt try anything. He knew, that he ,in this moment, was not in the position to act out. Ford was also to heavily armed. How and where did he carry all of those weapons? That was one mystery to find out. 

Going up the stairs, Ford was the front, then Bill, Stan, Mabel and Dipper. Arriving upstairs, Stan said: " Kid, you stink. The first thing you will learn about becoming human is how to take a shower." Everyone nodded, it was decided: showering would be Bill Ciphers first lesson to become human.
