My Precious Nightmare (Bill x Reader)

Part 6

You open your heavy eyes and glance wearily around. The colour hurts your eyes now, unless it was a certain shade of seductive yellow. You look around the cave you were staying in. You had decided that normal life wasn't real anymore, you longed only for the unusually vivid hours you spent with your Nightmare. He was your everything, you had no friends, no family, no goals, there was nothing but him to live for. You had bought all the food you could, raking up hundreds of dollars of debt, but what was money to you? Reality was an illusion, nothing more, your Nightmare said it himself. You took it all into the forest, and dragged it all into a cave. You rolled out an expensive camping bed, and unpacked the first case of sleeping pills.

Nowadays you spent nearly all your time asleep, except for those intermissions where the drugs wore off, and you had to take more to fall asleep again. You took out three white tablets, and swallowed them without water. You lay there for a few minutes impatiently waiting for the drugs to work, and then you woke up again. In your Wonderland. You sat hours with your Nightmare, drunkenly watching him as he laughed and laughed, as death by imaginary death played out in front of his eyes. Until one night (Or, was it day? Such things mattered to you no more, there was no night or day in Wonderland.).

You sunk back beneath the waves of consciousness. You awakened, as always, by the unusually marked grave. No matter how far you strayed from the graveyard in Wonderland, you always came back against the same grave; AXOLOTL. But it didn't matter, because your Nightmare was always there. You turned, and of course, he was there waiting for you, as though he had been there for eternity awaiting your arrival. "Welcome back!" You could hear the invisible smile in his voice. "What now, (y/n)? Should we drown your stepfather again? Because take my word for it, that never gets old!" You smile. "I feel violent today Nightmare, lets strangle (p/y/h), like we did a few days ago!" your Nightmare smacked his forehead as though he forgot something. "First though (y/n), there's someone I'd like you to meet..." You saw a look in your Nightmare's eye you recognised.

You cross your arms. "The Room?" Your Nightmare nods enthusiastically. You close your eyes, and when you open them, you find yourself in a small, bright, white room. The Room was the space you took your Nightmare and yourself when he wanted to show you something, of someone, that would try to run. Your Nightmare put a hand on your shoulder and whispered in your ear; "I'll be back, soon, don't worry, just wait here for me, alright?" You nod, and a chair appears for you to sit down in. You sit, and your Nightmare disappears with a small 'pop'. Moments later he reappears, and throws a boy a few years younger than you into the corner of the room. He picks himself up, his hands clench into fists when he sees your Nightmare. "Alright Bill, what's going on here, what's this all about?"

You sit up, confused suddenly. "Bill? Who is he Nightmare?" your Nightmare, turns away from the boy, and addresses you as if he was no longer there. "As far as you and I are concerned, (y/n), this kid is insane, so don't mind what he calls me." You nodded, and stood up, the chair slinking back into non-existence behind you. You walk forward and lean down so your face is right in front of the boy's. You straighten up. "Who is he?" You ask. Your Nightmare hits the boy with his cane, the boy growls. "(y/n), I'd like you to meet Pinetree.

He'll be important later." He hit Pinetree again, looking very much entertained by the reaction. "Don't worry, he'll be clueless when he wakes up. Not counting a head-splitting headache of course." Your eyes widen. "Wait, he's an actual person, outside Wonderland?" You poke Pinetree in the back, and he jumps around, looking back and forth between you and your Nightmare, circling like vultures. Your Nightmare nods. "He's the one I used as a puppet, remember, didn't I tell you that story?" You snap your fingers. "Ahh, yes, you told me that one, slippery little thing wasn't he?" You chuckle evilly. Pinetree folds his arms across his chest. "Listen here and listen good Bill, I don't know what you're playing at this time, but it's not going to work! Mabel and I stopped you before, and we'll do it again if we have to!"

You squat down to his level and look him square in the eye. He glares stonily back. "And you, I don't know who you are, but you're obviously in league with him, so consider me an enemy, got it?" You grin, and Pinetree frowns just so. "Scares easily, doesn't he Nightmare?" Your Nightmare walks over and picks Pinetree up by the scruff of his neck. "Time to go back to your own dream, Pinetree." Your Nightmare laughs. "See ya real soon!" He threw Pinetree with incredible force at the wall, and he just went right through, as if it were smoke. You close your eyes, and you find yourself back in the graveyard, surrounded by death. You feel yourself grow weary, and you groan.

"Sorry Nightmare, time to take some more pills. Your Nightmare shakes his non-discernible head and puts his hand on your shoulder. "Maybe you should take a break (y/n)...You've had so many pills in so little time, maybe just have something to eat, get some more food, don't worry about me, I'll be here when you get back, there's something I've been working on that will keep me busy in the meantime." You start to panic, but your Nightmare leans in closer than ever. "Don't worry darling, I'll be here when you get back." You are speechless. You sink to the ground, suddenly too weak to stand, and you sit up in the dark cave, the nearly empty food case beside you. You sit on the bed for a minute, shaking the last of the ever long sleep from your eyes.

You pick up a small hand mirror by the bed. You look in it, and immediately look away. Coming back cautiously, you panic slightly 'That's impossible! It must be the light, nothing more!' But there was no denying it. Your right iris, the small black dot in the middle, was a tiny, knife edged triangle. You put a hand over your eye, and here a voice in your head. Don't worry darling, I'll be here, I promise. You shake your head, and stan up, wobbling a bit. You exit the cave, nearly screaming out loud at the light. Wondering if you might see Pinetree at the supermarket, you walk back through the forset toward the buildings of Gravity Falls.

;) See ya, hope you like this one!
