Running out of Time <A Gravity Falls Book>

19.Puppet Strings pt. 1

(almost to chapter 20! Like usual I will be having a part one and part two sort of thing. )

Dippers POV

There in front of my eyes...the love of my life was being used as one of Bill's puppets.
I couldn't believe it.
"NO! BILL GET OUT OF HER BODY! NOW!" I yelled.

I looked into Lilly's...or....Bill's eyes. They were long pupils now.
Even a yellow~ish color.

My heart sank...

Lilly's POV

I watched as dip screamed. No...
This was all a nightmare...
I'm going to wake up any second now and this town will have been as tired and boring as it looks.
Yes! That's it!
I pinch myself closing my eyes.
When I open them, I was still a translucent figure.
I lost it again.

"BILL PLEASE?! NO GOSH! I WANT MY BODY BACK NOW!
PLEASE!!!" I was screaming loud. He cackled.

"Oh relax... It's just for a day?! You will have your body back in no time!" he says.

I wanted to cry but nothing came out. I considered calming down.
But while my gut was telling me to take deep breaths, my confused and overwhelmed head was screaming and wanting to panic.

I guess that's the weird thing about our minds...
They don't really let is think clearly half the time...

"You as a human would be a disaster just for 20 seconds?! Let alone a WHOLE DAY?" I explain.
He rolls his...my eyes.

"Don't worry pine tree! You will get her back later! Now if you will excuse me..." He paused.
His eyes made it look like as if there was nothing wrong with me.

"I have some business to do!" he sounded like me too...
What was I gonna do?
Nothing. There is nothing I CAN do.

"I-I'm so...s-sorry dip." I whispered.
He couldn't see or here me either.

Why did I make that dumb deal.
I practically just wrote "Doom me now!" on my forhead.
I am such an idiot....

XXX's POV

"Looks like I have got an old friend to catch up with..."
I say clutching at the journal.
"Goodluck getting that back to the-"

"Oh I have my ways sister... I have my ways..."

Bill's POV

I cackle before exiting the mystery shack.
"-And don't forget that if you try and stop me I have control of blue jays body! Bye!" I say and walk into the green land.

I go way back into the forest.
I told Gideon to meet with me. We have some things to...discuss.

Mabels POV

( dear lord! The POV changes! )

Dipper went pale.
I was shocked at the events of what had just happened.
"Bro Bro...you gonna be okay?" I asked putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I-I don't know any more...." his response hurt just looking at him.
This needed to end.

Dippers POV

I asked to just be alone for a moment and Mabel nodded.
The fact that she was pretty much mad at me and I didn't get to apologize or even say good-bye broke me down.

I look at all three journals on the shelf. I decide that I should probably move those with...
How could I have forgotten?!
"GRUNKLE FORD!!!" I said.

I race down to the vending machine and enter the code.
The door opened and I ran in.
Grunkle ford basically loved down here now.

"GRUNKLE FORD!!! I need your help!" I yell. It echoes.
"Huh? Dipper? What is it?" he asked. He looked down at me.
"My friend...lilly! She made a deal with Bill and now she is b-being used as h-his own personal puppet!"

I exclaim. "Wait Bill...What was the deal?"
He asked.
"Her and Bill played some kind of board game and whoever won got one thing they wanted from one another. Lilly was so close to winning but she lost...her body was possesd for one say But...
I don't trust Bill with what
He is going to do..."
I explain.

My heart was racing.
"What do we do grunkle ford?" I was so out of place right now.
"We wait till Bill returns with her body." he says.

I still didn't feel the same...
This didn't feel right...

(again short... I really do hate these short chapters guys...
So sorry... )
