Killing Reality (Gravity falls)

Invisible Ties

☆Mabel's P.O.V☆

Will and I had set out a blanket, it was a beautiful day. The clouds looked white and fluffy as the sky was a light blue. It wasn't hot or cold, it was simply perfect.

"Look at all the shapes!" I exclaimed as my hand reached up towards the sky. Will turned to look at me confused and then also stared up.

"Shapes? You mean cloud shapes?" He asked, I couldn't help but giggle. This made him look more puzzled.

"Use your imagination!" I said nudging him which got him to smile. For some reason it didn't seem completely genuine.

"Well I see a blob," Laughing I shook my head, he really was hopeless. Without a real sense of wonder, but that was something I could teach him.

"Okay, okay. Well I see a bunny in a hat," I said pointing up to a specific cloud. Will smiled and nodded in approval.

"Really? What an imagination you have, it's amazing Star," his voice was soothing and seemed angelic. Like a cue, his hand reached up and touched my cheek. Just as he began to move closer, he was suddenly shot forward. My eyes widened in confusion then behind me was a boy who looked just like Will only with blonde hair, his eyes were glowing as well as his hands were on fire. He started to walk towards Will. Leaving my fear behind, I jumped up and stretched out my arms to protect him.

"Move," he said, his voice was low and made a chill shoot down my spine. But I couldn't lose my cool and allow Will to get hurt.

"Why are you attacking my boyfriend?!" I yelled finally gathering my courage. The boy jolted back as if I had shoved him with my words, his eyes stopped glowing and the fire was gone. He stood there staring at me.

"Will what is she talking about?!" He said to Will who was now behind me, he looked angry and hurt. Overall I was completely confused about the situation.

"What do you mean? This is my girlfriend," Will said, he was strangely calm for such a confusing conversation. I couldn't take being in the dark for this long, what was going on?!

"Will, who even is this?" I asked looking over my shoulder at him. The boy stood there then grabbed his chest as if he was in pain, my instincts wanted to ask if he was okay, but I decided that wouldn't be a great idea.

"Shooting star it's me, it's Bill." He said, he sounded tired and as if he was begging me to hear him. As he spoke he slowly began moving closer to me, this made me unconsciously move backwards. I looked over my shoulder at Will for some clue on what to do, nothing.

"Star, this is my little brother, Bill." Will finally said, I at some point had begun holding my breath and this let me breathe. I could feel myself relax a bit. It made since they were siblings they look the same, but still Bill looked oddly more familiar. However now I know no serious harm will be done because they are siblings. After a couple long seconds of silent, Will spoke.

"What are you even doing here?" He said, I could feel the tension grow. It was uncomfortable and it felt extremely suffocating even outside. As I studied Bill he looked hurt and very pale, another sudden urge to go help him ran through me. His head hung for a bit as his blonde hair moved in the wind.

"What did you do to her?!" He asked harshly and as his head snapped up to look at Will. I looked back and forth between them trying to figure out what was going on.

"What are you talking about? I just met you!" I said trying to defuse the tension in the air, although it didn't seem to do any good.

"Bill, please. We will talk about this later. For now leave us." Will said finally speaking up. Honestly I didn't know if they could talk calmly at the moment even if they wanted to. Bill looked extremely tense, his body looked stiff. Then I saw it, a slight jolt forward.

"Please!" I yelled, he froze. Although I had the guts to yell at him, I was still scared of him. We made eye contact for a second, his eyes looked so sad... then he disappeared.

"What the heck.." I said after a minute of silence as I played with my ring. The ring felt hot, so I tried to spin it on my finger to cool it down. Will looked like he was thinking.

"Are you okay?" I asked looking up at him, he blinked as if suddenly remembering my presence. His eyes then went to my ring, he grabbed my hand and smiled at me.

"You know, this ring I gave you can give you strength and protect you, so don't ever take it off," he said softly, although it sounded a bit like a warning. Still he smiled sweetly at me and I felt happy.

"Okay, I wont!" I replied.

Authors note: HELLO! Long time no see. I'm sorry for not being able to update as much as I would like to, however college and life has gotten in the way recently.
