Dipper's POV
A blinding light flashed before my eyes, It made me go dizzy and collapse on the solid, cold white ground. Frustrated, I rubbed my eyes furiously, anxious to gain my eyesight again. I opened my eyes, just to see a silhouette of a geometrical shape in front of me. If I'm not mistaken, which I know I'm not, it appears to be... A blasted triangle.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" I shouted, Perfectly aware of who it was.

"Well, well well...

If it isn't little pine tree

If it isn't little pine tree... I gotta say kid, I'm quite surprised that you aren't even a bit frightened." Bill taunted, hands on the side of his triangle body. That little eye of his, bugged me for some reason, I have no reason why it annoys me, but there's certainly no reason why he doesn't have a mouth either.

"stop changing the subject, Cipher! You must want something from me, or else why would you be here? Now SPILL!" I yelled, anxious to know what he wants. Is it bad? Is it good? I don't know... But it certainly won't be good for me... clenching my fists with so much force in my body, I stared at him dead at the eye, as I gritted my teeth, disgusted by the little eye that doesn't have a pair.

He was taken aback by my sudden burst of words, but quickly reclaim himself. Bill glanced at my hands, clenched into a tight ball of fist, as he hooded his frickin eye, and moved his hands behind his back, responding to my comment, with a seem to be amused expression.

"Haha! Pine tree! You're so funny!" He chuckled," ANYWAY... I'm not here coz I want something from you, but rather do you a FAVOR." a ball of blue flames, appeared from his fingertips like fire on a matchstick, only bigger and brighter.

I let my hands open, losing my grip, exposing my palms. That statement left my eyes wide open, and my jaw dangling. Is he telling the truth? No! No! Don't fall for it! This could be one of his scams and tricks. I would know... I'm not proud of how I know, but I know... Memories of the past haunted me to this day, never will I shake the pain off of my mistakes. I snapped back, remembering I was with the devil, I can't manage to make the same mistake again. I stared at him, venom in my eyes, as a put on a stern face.

"What's the catch?" I asked, crossing my arms, obviously not buying it for one second.

"AWWW come on kid! Why wouldn't you trust old cipher, eh?" He joked, wrapping his arm around my shoulder, in a friendly manner. I didn't reply, only leaving a content expression as a respond to his so called "innocent joke".

The triangle rolled his eye in annoy, seemingly getting tired of me, I got him exactly where I want him.

"ENOUGH WITH THE CHIT CHAT, KID! TIME TO GET TO BUSINESS!" He exclaimed, annoyed, as he waved his hands around like he was shooing a fly. " IF YOU DONT DESTROY THE JOURNALS, I WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR BEST MEMORY, ALONG WITH THE ONE YOU LOVED SO DEARLY." His demonic voice echoed in the void, howling with pure determination.

My grip loosened, as I slowly let my arms down. Shocked, in what he just said, my breath shortened, wondering who he meant by "the one I loved so dearly". I searched my mind for answers, trying to narrow down who.

Bill leaned in closer to my ear, violating each of our personal spaces. "And I tell ya, this love doesn't belong in the family." Bill whispered, the tone in his voice sent a shiver through my spine. My heart was pounding against my rib cage, I was now panting, a bead of sweat rolled down my forehead, frantic as I fired up my head to think of answers, who he needs to worry about.

A sudden realization hit him, it was so obvious. I face palmed myself, and looked up at the demon, who was floating peacefully in front of him. The demon sent a smirk, nodding at who I was thinking of.

"No! NO! YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING, COWARD, STUPID, EVIL LITTLE DORITO!!!" I yelled with all the force in my body, clenching my fists ready to make a hit at his stupid eye.

"That's right, Pine tree... If u don't burn the journals, I will burn her, make her crumble into dust, just like what the journals would be if you listened to me." He threatened, the tone in his voice serious and stable.

"IF YOU COULD BURN HER, WHY DONT YOU JUST BURN THE JOURNALS YOURSELF?!"

"Coz here's the problem, kid. I'm not physical yet, I'm only mental. I can't burn the journals in the real world, I can't literally burn her..." He explained. I took a sign of relief, but little did I know, he had ways...

"BUT... that doesn't mean I can't burn her in her dreams..." I looked up, panicking, confused, hyperventilating... " dreams can be very realistic... If the dream goes any darker, she could die, thinking it was real..."

I stood there, stiff as a statue, not knowing what to do, what to think. what do I do? What should I do? Why her? I kept thinking, as I clench onto my hair, out of stress from everything, completely shaking from the anger and fear.

"And don't forget... That goes along with your best memory... And you know perfectly which one it was. Well... I wouldn't say only one, but all the times you had with her, completely forgetting her..." Bill trailed off, checking his nails at the same time. With his eye hooded, using his cane to lean.

"Also... While you're at the job, I wanna 'borrow' your twisted little head until you finally destroy it." Bill snapped his fingers, causing the sudden and huge pain in my head.

I groaned in pain and agony, gripping onto my head, slowly falling to my knees on how much pain it was causing, until I finally screamed. Bill watched by, a smirk on his face, as I started to lay down on the ground, as it started throbbing. I screamed again, banging my fist on the floor with so much force left in my tired body. The pain was as if a thousand watts of electricity started bursting through my head, while having bugs in my head crawling around and eating some parts, also while being burned with red, hot fire.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Bill laughed hysterically, the insane sounds of laughter echoed across the void, bouncing through the walls, coming back with more force, howling the enjoyment out.

"Pain is hilarious, You are lucky you will have it every time you try to disobey, I will control you, Pine Tree... You have been warned... How's that for a favor?" After that, another blinding light came in my vision in a flash, making me completely lose my eyesight, while I still lay on the floor, kicking, bang my fist, clenching my head, trying to soften the pain.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed.
