18- I've Seen This All Before, And It Might End Well

Y/N's P.O.V.
"Bill! Bill, you said he would be all right! You said that if I made this deal with you, he wouldn't die!"
"Hahaha! Did you really think you could trust me, Petals? You made a dumb mistake, and now you'll pay the consequences." Using his powers, Bill lifted Dipper up in the air and dangled him over a cliff.
"Dipper!"

Screams, tears, and sweat were all that made up my body when I woke up. Dipper was long gone, likely safe and asleep in his own bed by now. I shook and shivered on my own, terrified at what I had seen. Was this the truth? Had I made a wrong turn that was even more fatal than the outcome without the deal? Paranoia flooded through me as the possibility that Bill was in my mind, creating these dreams and thoughts, crossed through my mindscape. The door suddenly flung open, causing me to scream bloody murder and fling the hairbrush on the nightstand at the being in the rotting doorway.
"Whoa!" The being jumped out of the way, and after recovering from shock, raced over to me. I didn't even have time to see who it was once he stepped into the light, he was moving so fast, but as soon as the strong, protective arms wrapped around my trembling body, I knew exactly who it was.
"(Y/n), (y/n)! You're safe, you're okay! It was just a nightmare."
"How do you know it wasn't Bill manipulating my fragile mind!"
"Shh! You're going to wake Mabel!"
"To Hell with Mabel being awake! Bill might be in my mind and listening to all of this right now!"
"(Y/n)! Get ahold of yourself! If you were possessed by Bill, your eyes would be yellow, and you wouldn't be saying these things." The storm died down, and I sniffled as Dipper rocked me back and forth in his lap and stroke my hair: a familiar scene from just earlier today. The sweet brunette sighed deeply, as if about to reveal something deep and personal.
"(Y/n), I have to tell you something." I wiped my puffy eyes and looked up at him lovingly. "Everything that's happening right now- the portal, Mabel, Bill, the nightmares, the rift- it's all happened before."
"What?"
"Back when I was twelve, this all happened, but with Mabel and my Grunkles in place of you, Mabel, and I. Mabel and I were just sort of... there. But that's not the point. The point is that I've seen this all before, and it might end well."
"What do you mean 'might?'"
"Well, the town was able to defeat Bill last time, but some even or person resurrected him, and now he's even more powerful."
"Do you think it was the re-activation of the portal?"
"That could be, or some person that really wanted to see the end of the world. Either way, (y/n), remember this: everything in Gravity Falls happens for a reason, and everything works out in the end, one way or another." He kissed the top of my head and smiled. "Now get some sleep. It's been a long day for both of us." I shook my head violently.
"There's no way I'll be able to sleep now."
"I'll stay with you tonight." Dipper places me under the covers, then climbed in next to me. I huddled close to his body and sighed.
"Goodnight, Dipper."
"Goodnight, (y/n)."
