Demigod Falls {Completed}

CH. 16

"Bill." Says Dipper. His tone is level, but icy. He grips his flashlight so hard, his knuckles turn white.

"Pinetree, Shooting Star and sidekicks, Llama, Ice. Oh, and the daughter of Athena. My patron was right. Fate really did bring you here."

"What do you want from us, you poophead? Weren't you erased from Stan's mind?" Says Mabel in the most seriously pissed off voice I have ever heard her use.

"Well, Shooting Star, if you must know, I was turned into a stone statue and embedded in the forest floor. My patron, Gaea, and I made a deal. She restored me to my former glory, and in return I must bring her your little demigod friend. It's a win-win."

Gaea? As in Earth? This triangle is insane. No way am I going with him. I lunge at him with my dagger. To my surprise, he's made of Mist. I pass through him, and end up stabbing the roof.

"AH HA HA HA HA" Laughs the demon dorito. "That's the catch. I have to bring you to her to become, ah, solid."

Come on, Isabelle, think... How do I defeat the Mist? I take in my surroundings. Bill is facing me, away from my friends. Dipper is holding his flashlight. He could easily shrink Bill, and we could capture him. Gods, Dipper is just like Percy... clueless.

"Oh, you know, that's a pity." I say.

"What's a pity?"

"That you rely, quite literally, on dirt to restore you. She's using you. You're doing her dirty work... no pun intended. I'm a half-blood. A child of Athena. I could restore you. I could find a way."

"Isabelle, are you CRAZY?!" Screams Dipper.

"Tell me more..." Says Bill, his hand bursting into blue flames.

"Well," I say, clearing my throat, "sorry if my voice SHRINKS, but I really SHRINK beneath your great power. Now, SHRINK your ignorance and let me restore you!"

Finally, Dipper takes the hints. He flips the crystal on the flashlight and turns it on. Bill shrinks into a tiny, thumbnail-sized triangle.

"Mabel, would you hand me that empty can of Pitt Cola?" Asks Dipper.

"I got it, dude!" Says Wendy, passing it to him.

"T-thanks Wendy" He stutters, blushing.

Okay, Dipper definitely likes her.

Dipper duct tapes the opening of the can shut. He tosses it into the air, then catches it.

"This demon won't be bothering people any time soon" He says.

"Well, that was traumatizing. I think I'll go home now." Says Pacifica. "Izzy, you coming?"

"Sure, Paz."

"Okay, let me just throw up, then I'll call David to pick us up" She says, stumbling to the ladder.

I laugh. That was a close call with Bill... I have to tell Annabeth about it. And I have to warn her about Gaea.

"Hey, Izzy, sorry about... uh, calling you crazy. It's just that I've had trouble trusting anyone since last Summer."

"Hey, It's okay. I have the same problem. After the orphanage, I never trusted anyone except my sister. My fatal flaw is that I trust no one."

"Fatal flaw?"

"Apparently, it's going to be my doom."

"Wait, WHAT?"

I hear a beep below. Pacifica is standing next to the limo waving me over.

"COME ON!" She shouts up at me.

"Coming!" I shout back.

"See ya." I say, already halfway down the ladder.
