Chapter IV - Guilty Deal

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

The day was quite enjoyable. Dipper and Mabel invited (M/n) to hang out with them and their other friends. At first, he didn't want to but the two twins gave him puppy eyes and he couldn't say no. So they ventured off to an abandoned storage house.

The concrete had been slowly deteriorating and the roof was half gone. Despite that, there was a pool table, a mini-fridge, a CD player and speakers, and chairs all laid out. Dipper went over to a girl with boyish short red hair and freckles. She was wearing a green flannel shirt, but the sleeves were torn off to make a vest over a white shirt. She also wore ripped jeans and boots. She looked at (M/n) and walked over to him, placing a hand on her hip.

"The name's Wendy Corduroy. I'm guessing you're that guy Dipper has been talking about over the phone last night?" She said, smirking.

(M/n)'s eyes widened. Dipper has been talking about him? His cheeks tinted with a pink hue. "Yeah. (M/n) (L/n) is my name. Nice to meet you, Wendy." He said, holding out his hand.

Instead of taking it and shaking it, Wendy wrapped her arm around his shoulders and gave him a noogie, causing his hair to go all messy. He giggled a bit and the red head let go. Mabel ran towards Wendy and gave her a high-five.

"Hey Wendy! Are the others around?" She asked, looking around the storage house. Wendy laughed nervously. "Not really. Lee and Nate are probably playing video games at Lee's house. Robbie and Tambry are on a date and Thompson's got manager duty. Only guy here is Soos."

A large man with gopher-like teeth stook his head out of the mini-fridge and waved his hand. Dipper and Mabel ran to him and hugged him as tightly as they can. (M/n) thought it was cute how close the twins are to almost everyone in this town. Dipper looked at him and pulled away from the hug. He stood in front of him.

"Starting to like out hide-out?" He asked, putting his hands on his waist.

"Maybe. I'm still not sure though." The (H/c) haired male said, looking away. He was obviously lying. He loved it here! It was like they can do whatever they want to do. But that weird feeling inside him was suddenly growing. What was happening?

*~Bill's Point of View~*

There was nothing to do. Without his powers, he can't even do something fun. Bill groaned and sat up. The screen was bright and (M/n) was talking to Pine Tree. Rage builded up inside him and he punched the 'ground.'

"Argh! So this is what it feels like to be puny mortal. No powers. No rule over countless universes. Just wasting their time in a big hunk of rock. It sucks being in this state. I just wanna get my revenge on the Pines family!"

Bill yelled into the void. He often had tantrums like these back when he was in the 2nd dimension. But today, this might be the largest tantrum he might do. He almost wanted to rip his eye off! But that would be risky. He walked back in front of the screen, sitting cross-legged. He huffed through his eye and watched as his mortal talked to Pine Tree. He looked happy being with them, which only made Bill angrier.

Also yeah, he did just call (M/n) (L/n) his mortal. Since they've made a deal about getting his powers back, he had to make him his apprentice. Just thinking of the word made Bill shiver all over. Apprentice. Of course he would need to teach the kid how to use the powers to get them back. Also it would be fun seeing him try.

But he was still tired to even try and go back to the kid's Mindscape or Dreamscape. From what he got from (L/n)'s conversations with Pine Tree and Shooting Star, it's been 4 years since he was defeated. 4 freaking years. That's the longest he's been out, considering it's his first time getting defeated.

He saw how the kid stopped and clutched his chest. He felt nauseous and he told Pine Tree he had to go get some fresh air, but Pine Tree wanted to accompany him. And so, they went outside and sat on a log. The cliff was at least 5 inches away from them so they could at least enjoy the view. (M/n) sighed and brought his legs to his chest.

The way his (E/c) eyes dimmed and how strained his sigh was, it was obviously because of guilt of not telling Dipper the truth about him make a deal with the same triangle who wanted chaos and destruction 4 years ago. Dipper scooted closer to him.

"You okay?" He asked, putting a hand in his back. (M/n) replied with a sigh. "I don't know."

"Come on, you can tell me. I've got your back. Literally." The joke made (M/n) giggle and slap his arm, gaining an 'ow!' in return. "Dum dum. It's just that..." The words were threatening to spill from his mouth but he just couldn't bring himself to tell him. He just clutched his knees and hoped that Dipper would change the subject.

Luckily, Mabel was there to save him. She ran towards the two boys and giddily jumped around them. "Guys! We should go to the Greasy's Diner! I'm thinking of a dazzling plate full of glitter cakes!" She exclaimed.

"Glitter cakes?" (M/n) asked, tilting his head in confusion. Mabel winked and snapped her fingers. "Pancakes with glitter on them! Just so you know, I'm an expert on making everything fabulous and dazzling."

"Alright Mabel. Come on, I bet you'll like the regular pancakes." Dipper stood up and held out his hand for (M/n) to take. He took it and the three went and said their goodbyes to Wendy and Soos.

Bill yawned as he stared at the endless void. He got real bored after the twins and his mortal ate and just went almost everywhere in this roadkill town. But as night fell and the twins were gone, he watched as (M/n) tried to guide his way in the forest. Oh this is went from 0 to a 100 quick.

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

Sometimes he regretted his choices. After deciding to just plunge inside the woods, (M/n) got lost immidiately. The light from the moon and his flashlight were the only things helping him to try and find the way where Bill's statue was. He groaned and leaned on a nearby tree. Where was it?

Once again, he heard the same hooves clumping on the forest floor and he pointed his flashlight to where it was located. The deer was walking towards him slowly. (M/n) approached it with caution and gripped the flashlight hard. The deer just bowed its head and turned to the side. It must want him to ride on his back. (M/n) stood on his tip-toes and propped himself on its back. The deer immidiately began running and (M/n) had to hang on for dear life. He both hated and loved this deer.

The deer lead him to the same place as earlier. This time, not rolling down a hill and almost getting unconscious. The Bill statue was as still as ever. The broken hand was still there. And it seemed that flowers were blooming here and there. (M/n) walked towards it and kneeled, carressing the broken arm. Suddenly, blue flames surrounded him and the deer ran off. Eye widening, (M/n) tried to escape but it was too late.

The blue flames engulfed him and he was met with the triangular demon once again. This time, everything was black around them.
