No Turning Back (Gravity Falls FanFic)

3- Lost

🌲🌲🌲🌲Dipper's POV🌲🌲🌲🌲

Slamming the door behind me, I ran out of the shack and into the woods. I ran and ran, not caring about the paranormal creatures that lived where I was heading. All I was focused on was to find a suitable shelter. I found a small grotto, checked if it was abandoned and when I found that nothing lived inside of it, I finally crawled inside.

Tears started to fall as my actions finally registered in my mind. I had just lashed out at my family and then I stormed out of the house. My eyesight started to become blurry and I huddled into a ball, with my knees tucked near my chest.

Why was I acting like that??? What is happening to me?? Was what Grunkle Stan and Mabel said true?? Do I really have side effects from when he possessed me?? Am I turning into a monster?? Do I need more protection???? Thoughts swirled throughout my mind and my head started to ache.

I don't even know who I am anymore. What should I do?? Not wanting to return home just yet, I decided to camp out in the small cave. I decided to make the cave a little more protected so I took off my vest and pinned it up so it covered the entrance.

A little less debris would get in and a little more protection from wind. I started to shiver and pondered whether I should take down my vest and put it over me like a blanket of some sort, but I decided not to. I settled down and closed my eyes. Slumber slowly took over my body and I fell into a deep sleep, having a dreamless night.

(After Dipper ran out of the Shack)

"BILL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? SHOW YOURSELF YOU STUPID ISOSCELES DORITO!!!!" I shouted into nothingness not knowing Bill's exact location. I took out my grappling hook and got into a defensive position while Grunkle Stan pushed up his sleeves, revealing brass knuckles on each hand.

"AHH IF IT ISN'T SHOOTING STAR AND FEZ. IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU BOTH." Bill cackled, his laughter sounding echoey and metallic. There was a blinding light and Grunkle Stan and I both shielded our eyes away from the source. When opened my eyes, I saw that he was floating right in front of me.

Boy, did Bill like to make an entrance, I wondered, a little bit annoyed.

"I thought we could only see you if we were sleeping," I inquired aloud, forgetting momentarily that Bill was surely up to no good. I looked at him and unconsciously lowered my weapon, putting it into a fold in my sweater.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING??? HAHAHAHA, I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU KID. YOU ARE AWAKE AND I CAN BE SEEN VISIBLY WITH HAVING TO GO IN YOUR DREAMS. I JUST CAN'T PHYSICALLY HARM YOU BECAUSE I'M NOT PHYSICALLY HERE. KIND OF LIKE A GHOST YOU CAN SEE. IT'S DIFFERENT FROM BEING SUMMONED OR POSSESSION. IT'S A WEIRD ONE I TELL YOU, BUT GUESS WHAT? I LOVE ALL THINGS WEIRD!!!!"

"Why are you here?!?! Stop stalling Cipher!" I heard Grunkle Stan shout out to Bill. Grunkle Stan then placed himself in front of me and pushed me backward, putting me farther away from the floating dorito. I reached for my grappling hook once again as Bill started to speak.

"I ONLY CAME HERE TO SEE IF PINETREE WAS DOING OKAY. SPEAKING OF PINETREE, WHERE IS THAT KID??? HE'S THE WHOLE POINT WHY I CAME TO VISIT YOU PINES FAMILY. THE REST OF YOU ARE... HOW CAN I SAY IT? OH YEAH, THE REST OF YOU ARE USELESS TO ME. ONLY PINETREE CONTAINS SOMETHING 'SPECIAL' THAT APPEALS TO ME." He air-quoted with his little black fingers when he said special.

What does Dipper have that he wants, I questioned to myself. I took a mental note and decided to ask if Grunkle Stan knew what Bill meant by that.
