Tale of The Cipher Twins

Chapter 3

Dipper's POV

It was still running threw my brain, how I could see Bill like I did. I mean, he's still in the MindScape right? If that's so, why didn't I see in black and white? Everything had color.

I sat there and ate my breakfast well, I thought I was, until Mabel snapped me back to reality. I had found that there was nothing left on my plate. "Wow. I was that out of it?"

"Yup. What's on your mind Dip?" She asked.

"Oh it's nothing. Just something from the other day. Really it's nothing." I tried to brush it off.

"You mean it's a something nothing, or is it like nothing nothing?"

"Mable just drop it." I was getting frustrated.

"So it's a something nothing. Talk to me bro." She was seeming more and more enthusiastic.

I went to open my mouth when I was a very suspicious looking man, with blond hair, a tail coat, a floating hat, and a triangle eye patch, looking threw my window. I growled. "I'll be right back." I stood up and stormed outside.

"Bill!" I screamed and he jumped.

"H-hey! Looks like this is gonna happen, um... hehe" He was ... nervous?

"What do you want?" I demanded.

"I-I kinda... I kinda need help with something." I went to scream but he covered my mouth. "It has nothing to do with world domination! I promise! It's a personal thing. Come on please?"

"What's the catch?"

"No catch. I just need you help me find something. It's just a photo. That's all. Please I'll do anything." His eyes looked like a little kid who was begging mommy for a toy.

"Y-you're really desperate to find it aren't you?" He nodded. "Fine." I sighed. "I'll help you look for it." Out of no where he jumped on me.

"Thank you PineTree! Have ever mentioned how much I like you?"

"You mean besides giving me a head that's always screaming?"

"Want another one?" He jumped.

"No, just, can we go now?"

"Of course."

He lead me into a large manner in the woods. Rusted fence, broken windows and door, chipping paint. The grass was dead and wasn't cut at all. "This is depressing." I turned to Bill who was standing before the house, eye widened like he was scared. "Cipher?"

He jumped and looked at me. "Y-yea?"

"Ok first what is this place? Second, why do you look so scared?" I questioned.

"In time my dear PineTree. In time."

I walked in first. Then from behind me I heard a wooshing sound from behind me. I turned and saw a little kid with the same hat and a over sized sweater. "C-cipher?"

He looked around and started crying. "H-hey! What's wrong?" He stopped and wrapped his arms around my neck like he wanted me to carry him. "Bill what are you doing?"

"I-I don't wanna walk around like this! I'm scared!" His voice was so small but it seemed like he was really scared.

I gave out a sigh and picked him up, I could feel something pounding, his... his heart was racing. "Wow, what's got you so scared?"

He was quite and hid his face in my chest. He must have been 7 or 8.

***

We walked around for a while till we got to one room and Bill jump off me and started to run behind a plant. "Woah! Hey come on. We haven't checked there yet." I said crouching down.

Bill shook his head violently. He was still a little kid, maybe tricks would work on his tiny mind? "Bill. If I give you my ... um... vest of... bravery... will you go inside the room?" He nodded and I gave it to him. He walked behind me and into the room. His eye was fixed on the wardrobe, we walked over and touched it.

He started screaming and whaling like bloody murder. I reached for him to get him to stop, as soon as I did I could understand why he was screaming.

Hold on!!!
Author: ok this next part is gonna be a bit bloody . You have been warned.
Bill: you just want me to suffer don't you?
Me: no shit you Mable stealing jerk! BAKA!
Bill: wow...

I saw the doors open and a woman's face pop in, I was grabbed and started to kick and punch. He plunged a knife deep into my side. I screamed. She was stabbing me. Over and over again in the gut and finally she took a knife, trusted into my neck from the right out to the left and ripped forward. I fell back. Dying unable to make a sound...

Ok it's done!

I jumped back, horrified by what I say and felt. Bill was sitting there, full groan again. "I-I... I didn't..." He was shaking. I took his shoulder again. He snapped and looked at me. "J-just find that picture!"

We kept looking threw the room when something broke under my foot. A photo frame. It had a picture of two very young kids. One seemed to be Bill but they were identical. They were sleeping. "Um. Is this what you're looking for?" I handed it to him. I took it and the moment he saw it, he smiled.

"Thanks PineTree. I owe you a freebie." He didn't look at me. He was so fixed on the photo.

"Can I ask you something?" He turned this time. "Why did you ask me?"

"Well..." He said simply. "I knew you'd help me before anyone would. Plus. I trust you enough to not kill me." He put the photo in his jacket. "I've gotta go. This place, it doesn't bring me good memories."

"One more thing. What happened here? Why do you hate it so much? Why are you scared of it? You owe me at least that much."

"Dipper..." he didn't look at me. "It's quit personal but think. What did you see? What you saw, what you felt. It happened to that person." He looked at the photo. "It happened because of me... it as my fault."

"How? That wasn't you stabbing."

"No but I told them to say there! I told them they would be safe if they hide there! It's my fault my brother is dead!" He screamed. "I... I need to go." With that he vanished.

I just turned and walked home to the Mystery Shake. Those words kept replaying.
