Chapter Two ➳

He was lucky that he hadn't gotten lost in the forest or Bill would have been stuck there, alone, with the voices ringing in his head. He had barreled through the front door, not bothering to try to find Grunkle Stan and say "hi" and raced right upstairs. When he threw the door open to the attic, Will let out a shrill scream and darted under his bed.

Bill slammed the door close and sunk to his feet, shaking horribly. His throat was dry and his lungs ached terribly.

"Y-you scared me..." Will whispered from underneath his bed.

"S...so what...?" He managed to gasp out, holding his chest. He kept seeing Dipper and Mabel and their disturbing forms.

Will crawled out from under the bed and walked on all fours over to Bill like a cat. "W-what happened?"

Bill took deep gulps of air, feeding the oxygen into his lungs. "Um, nothing," he lied, "I just ran...ran home."

Will fell for it instantly. He was incredibly gullible. "Oh. D-did you g-get me m-my cupcake?"

Bill closed his eyes for a moment and clenched his jaw. He had been too busy running for his life to go and get Will a cupcake. "No, I didn't. I did not have the time."

A depressed look shadowed Will's face. "Aw, b-but you s-said you would. Y-you were o-out there all d-day."

Bill rolled his eyes and sank onto the floor so he was lying on his back. "I don't care! I was busy doing cool stuff!"

Will leaned over him with wide blue eyes, balancing on his hands that were now on either side of Bill. "W-what cool st-stuff?"

Bill scoffed and crossed his arms. "Cool stuff that you wouldn't understand."

Will put on his attempting tough face. "I-I can understand."

"No you can't," he retorted, "you won't."

Will glared at Bill, but the attempt was still feeble. "Th-that's not fair!"

Bill leaned up, shoving Will off of him so his twin fell onto his back. "Oh yeah? Fight me." Bill pinned Will to the floor and for a moment Will remained speechless at the sudden turn of events before his face turned red and tears filled his eyes.

"I-I d-don't want to-to fight y-you!" Will cried and tried to pushed Bill away.

Bill shook his head, smirking at his victory. "Puny. You can't even beat your own brother. You've always been weak."

Will whimpered pitifully.

"But I'm still getting you a cupcake," Bill added.

Will smiled slightly before it disappeared. "C-can you l-let me up?"

Bill took a moment to prepare his response. "Hmm, no."

Will started crying and Bill groaned in disappointment.

"Oh, come on, you big baby!" Bill complained and shook Will's shoulders.

Will sniffed. "Y-you are so m-mean."

Bill shrugged. "That's just—" he broke off when a sudden stab of pain shot through his head, like a godawful migraine. Bill's arms gave out and he collapsed on top of Will.

Will let out a squeak, red faced, and tried to wake his brother up. "B-Bill?! BILL?!" He shook him but nothing happened.

"Oh, Jesus, my head..." Bill groaned and held his forehead gently. "What is happening...?"

"What h-happened?" Will asked curiously.

Bill kept his hand up by his head, the pain slowly subsiding. "I don't know..."
