You were getting tired. Very tired. But you were determined to get Ford back into his own body, so that wouldn't let you doze off even in the slightest.
You flipped through the pages that you have already passed before, but you hardly recognized them. Ford had so many discoveries in this journal that you couldn't even keep track of them. And there was more where that came from with two other journals he made.
Finally, your eyes caught onto the ink- or blood splattered page. You then wheeled slowly to the entrance of the door, and peeked up the stairs. You could still hear the snoring.
You just waited for Bill to wake up and catch you trying to find a way to bring back Ford and end all of this mess. You could picture it, visualize it. With every creak of the unfinished house would make your hearing dull and vision blurry, but then you would just realize it was the house making that noise. Not Bill.
You would run your fingers along the lines of writing on the page, when you would come across writings of nonsense. In order to see who has been possessed recently, one must simply recite this incantation, it read above the nonsensical writings. You had a thought. A plan. Maybe you could enter Ford's mind and somehow get to Bill and- no...in the end, you had to be impulsive. Something Cipher wouldn't suspect.
You left the ending part out of your plan and went for it. You wouldn't have time to lose, so you had to use that plan.
Suddenly, your heart felt fluttery inside, and a smile creeped up upon your face. You were just one step closer to getting your paranormal investigating partner back. You felt like yelling out happily, but you remembered Bill sleeping soundly on your mattress.
   "Hm," you hummed, getting off of the chair that can wheel around whilst about to pick up the journal off of the large desk. But again, something caught your eye (Lol I'm making this up to be interesting). It was a code. A longer one, split up evenly. You realized it needed to be deciphered, but you didn't have time for that. Bill could wake up in who knows what time. But what if it was important?

Your eyes widened at the code as you debated with yourself if you should decipher the code or not. Your eyes slightly rolled upwards as you sit back down, taking a small piece of paper from the corner of his desk.
Setting the tip of the pencil down anxiously, you'd start to write. But no, words came out jumbled and not making sense. You scribbled the attempted sentence out. Then the second. Then the third. And then the fourth. It felt like time was looping around, and you couldn't get it right.
You were frustrated. Narrowing eyes you pull in heaves of air. Now, what did Ford teach me about the ciphers?

Taking your time, your memory would appear slowly. The sentences would come out nicely, and you felt excited once again. After a few moments of finishing it, you read it in your mind;

WITH ONE SMALL INCANTATION I CAST AT THEE

YOU WILL BE BANISHED FROM ALL THAT CAN SEE

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY FEEL WARY

THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY

Wow.
You put a hand over your mouth. This IS important. And you almost decided not to decipher it. Taking the slip of paper with you with the new incantation, you hurried up the stairs to where Bill was sleeping.
You stood beside 'his' sleepy body, and you opened up Ford's red journal to Bill Cipher's page. You followed the instructions and put a hand on top of his head. Then, you read out the first incantation written on the page. "Videntus omnium. Magister mentium. Magnesium ad hominem. Magnum opus. Habeas corpus. Inceptus Nolanus overratus. Magister mentium. Magister mentium. Magister mentium."
And everything went white.
