The demon appeared in the middle of their circle, busting out of a burning blue flame, which fated together with the color, sound and every sign of life surrounding them, leaving nothing but the one eyed triangles cruel laughter ringing in their ears.
"Hello, hello, hello!" He greeted while his eye scanned one of them after another, only to fix itself on the blonde girl that looked wide eye at the demon and tried to hide her fears under a blank stare.
"Oh seems like you've got yourself some "lame" company, since you tugged on my power with your silly idea to jump the cursed water." He snickered.
"We'll I guess deer's and llama's somehow fit together after all. By the way-" His eye wandered right through his body form one side to the other to fix itself on the squirming fawn in Mabel's hands.
"How's my favorite wolf's lunch doing?" He mocked in an eerie voice and once the demon locked his eye on Dipper, Mabel finally lost her grip on the scared animal, as soon as his hooves touched the ground he ripped the leash out of her hand and made his way to the forest in pure panic.
"Dipper! Wait!" But the fawn didn't even twitch an ear towards her, his dark eyes were wide in panic when he raced for the end of the clearing before Bill reappeared right in front of him and caught him on the collar of his neck, holding him up close for examination.
"Ah ah ah- It's not nice to run away like that Bambi- didn't your mummy tell you that the forest is dangerous. You could get lost, caught, or... hunted." He taunted the bleating and squirming fawn in his grip, while the others moved forward to him and shouted to stop.
But the demon didn't pay them any attention anyway, while he petted the shivering deer's head.
"Oh no- don't be afraid of uncle Bill. After all I'm the one who helped you out of your existence as a hairless meatsack- at last you're good for something now pine tree- since I knew a billion delicious recipes on deer base".
"Let him go Bill!" Mabel ordered in a stern voice, with her hands on her hips, but it wasn't hart for Bill to see fear and concern in her brown eyes.
"Aww isn't that sweet! You'll think he still remembers you and of course me being the bad guy in this game, right Shootingstar? Well no problem- we'll can chance that immediately."
The demons manic laughter filled the air as he snapped his fingers making Dipper vanish from his grip, only to show back up next to Mabel who hugged her brother with a relived breath. Of course it didn't take long for Bill to disturb the Moment again, when he called for his prey.
"Oh Pine tree~" He warbled.
"Come back here my deer child."
And- to Mabel's horror, Dipper moved.
"W-What?" She stuttered, watching her brother happily approaching Bill.
"Are you nuts kid!" Stan shouted, while Wendy tried to gain the fawn's attention, along with Pacifica and Soos.
"Don't listen to him!", "You'd better stop right now mister or-", "Really dude, I don't that's a good idea." But none of their advices or threating words ever reached his mind. It was only for Mabel's thin and shivering voice that he stopped and turned around to face her with a confused look.
"Dipper..." She could see him shiver in his chocolate brown furry coat, as his gaze wavered between his twin and the demon and back again.
"Please." Mabel begged, her heart was heavy in her chest when her bother still hesitated. But his struggles came to a fast end when Bills voice called for him again.
"Now come- come back to uncle Cipher." Mabel could feel something inside her shatter when Dippers tail waved happily as he jumped in the Demons lap, licking his triangle shaped face with small happy bleats.
