Chapter III - Standing Alone

*~(M/n)'s Point of View~*

(M/n) woke with a start, a strange feeling lingering inside his chest. It was a bit painful but he was alright. He remembered dreaming about...Oh dear. He stood up and paced around his room, gripping his favorite shirt hard. Oh dear, he made a DEAL with the same demon whom Mabel and Dipper warned about! He chewed on his cuticles nervously. He just did it instinctively! He was too much of a nice guy to decline! Or maybe that triangle was probably just a dream and that never happened. But it was hard to believe because the twins said he invaded people's minds to make deals with him. He groaned. What was he going to do?

The door opened and (M/n)'s Dad came in, smiling happily. "Rise and Shine, Son! We're going to enroll you into Gravity Falls Highschool!" That made his groaning even worse. First, a deal with a demon, now school? (M/n) sat back on his bed. "But Dad! I've got some important...business to do." He said nervously. He was definitely not going to tell his own Dad that he made a deal with a demon. The man seemed disappointed but he smiled once again. "It's alright, Son. I know you're still not acquainted with the town. Why don't you visit those kids at the Mystery what's it's name?" He said. (M/n) smiled. He walked forward and hugged his Dad. He was glad Dad was such a nice guy. That made him wonder more why Mom got tired of him.

Dad left to go enroll (M/n) to the school while (M/n) went to the Mystery Shack. Walking through the woods was a hard thing to do though. He kept stepping on something the squished in his feet and leaves kept slapping his face. Yep, he'll need to get used to this. "Dang it, where is that Mystery Shack?" He kept asking to himself. The sunlight shined through the leaves, casting shadows on (M/n). He decided to sit down on a log and take a rest for a bit. He had low stamina so he got terribly tired so easily. That might be a bad thing when he comes across something that might wanna eat him. (M/n) pulled out a book he kept in his bag. Its title was Dead In The Moonlight. Not really a fan of vampire-themed books, but his friend back in Manhattan pleaded him too read it. He was about to open it until someone appeared in his line of vision.

Dipper was just as surprised as (M/n) when they saw each other. He grinned a bit and sat beside him. (M/n) laughed a bit.

"Jeez, didn't think I'd meet you here, Dipper." He said, restin his head on his palm. Dipper chuckled. "Maybe because I sensed you were probably lost in the woods. Which I didn't actually know until now." He brought out a journal with a one on the front and a pine tree painted gold on the background. The (H/c) haired male gaped at the sight. Dipper noticed his surprise and smiled.

"This is a journal where I keep track of the weird stuff happening in Gravity Falls. My grunkle Ford's were destroyed by Bill so he said I could take up the job of being the next Author."

When (M/n) heard the name Bill, he cringed. Was he going to tell Dipper about last night? He wasn't sure. He still had that weird lingering feeling on his chest. (M/n) took a quick breath and looked at Dipper.

"Uhm Dipper, I got something to tell you..."

"What is it?" His face suddenly flushed red, causing (M/n) to slightly tremble. His lips quivered and his heart beated uncontrollably. When he opened his mouth, a deer jumped out of nowhere and looked at (M/n). It charged right towards him and he had to think fast. He dodged out of the way, Dipper doing it also. The deer blowed through its nose and charged again, this time causing (M/n) to sprint away. He panted as he tried to speed up. His foot got caught on a loose tree root and he rolled down a hill, occasionally hitting a rock. When he finally crashed down, he couldn't stand up. Heck, he couldn't even look up. He groaned and tried to grab something. Well, looks like he's going to die here. Goodbye (M/n), everyone whom you met only a day ago will miss you.

As he was practically performing his own funeral, he heard hooves clumping on the grass. He felt it stop beside him. Suddenly, he was flipped over on his back by the nuzzle of the deer earlier. He finally saw something and he gasped, not expecting what it was.

It was a statue of Bill Cipher.

It was covered in moss and it looked like it's been there for years. Well, considering the Pines family defeated him 4 years ago. Some parts of it were cracked and the arm was broken off. (M/n) tried to stand up and look at it properly. It definitely was Bill. Same eye and same hat and bow tie. Just as he'd seen in his dream. He put a hand over the eye.

"What happened to you?" (M/n) asked, knowing he won't answer. He looked at the deer and stood up, walking to it. It stomped its hooves. "Why did you bring me here?"

Of course it wouldn't reply, it's a deer. He thought, but the deer bowed its head. He didn't know what that meant, but surely it was something in the words, "I don't know." (M/n) felt a sharp pain in his body and he collapsed on the grass, clutching his body. That fall must've been hard. Suddenly, he heard Dipper call his name.

"(M/n)?!"

"Over here!" He replied. He just laid there on the grass until Dipper came to his aid. When he saw his wounds, he gasped. He immediately headed over to him and brought out a medicine kit. He asked (M/n) to hold still and not move too much when he was going to apply the dis-infectant. (M/n) yelped when he felt the pain shoot its way through him. He closed his eyes and bit his lip. Once Dipper was done, he slapped a gauze on his wound, causing the other male to yell.

"OW!" (M/n) complained. Dipper apologized and continued nursing him. When they were done, they both stared at the Bill Cipher statue.

"So you've been here all this time." Dipper said to it, glaring a bit but softening when he looked at (M/n). "Should we tell my uncles?"

Although not sure, (M/n)'s heart began racing once he said that. His mouth moved on its own. "N-No! I-I mean...maybe we can keep this to ourselves for a bit, you know?" He said, looking at the forest floor nervously. He didn't know why he became protective all of a sudden. It was like he wanted Bill to be safe. Dipper looked at him with wide eyes.

"But (M/n)! We could let Ford inspect it if Bill's still alive! And we don't want to risk that." He explained. He stared at his (H/c) haired friend, who had a look of hurt and guilt. He didn't know why he looked like that, but Dipper just couldn't say no to that guy. Sighing again, he scratched the back of his head. "Alright. We'll keep it a secret among ourselves for a while."

(M/n)'s eyes glimmered in hope and he smiled at Dipper. He immediately wrapped him in a tight hug, causing the brunette to slightly squeak. "Thanks so much, Dipper!" He thanked. Dipper had a growing red blush crowding his face and he had to look away, hoping (M/n) didn't notice it. Later on, the two pulled away.

"We should get to the Mystery Shack. Mabel will probably get impatient and end up smacking us with Waddles." Dipper said jokingly, shoving his hands in his pockets. (M/n) nodded and got his bag, slinging it over his shoulder. He took one last look at Bill before following Dipper out of the woods. He hoped to check the statue again later before going home.
