Dreamcatcher (A Bill Cipher Story)

Chapter Three

"Wake up Nee-chan!" My brother yelled at me.

"What?" I asked, shaking my head.

"It's sister in Japanese." He smiled.

"Let me guess, you learned that while watching anime?" I chuckled.

"You know it!" He ripped the covers off of me.

"Ugg." I pulled them back up over my head.

"Hey guess what?" He said.

"What?"

"You slept." I shot my eyes open.

"Oh my God, I did." I said shocked. I have insomnia so sleeping is incredibly rare. I felt so refreshed.

"Why do you think you did?" He asked, sitting on the bed as I sat up.

"I don't know." I said, but I had a feeling I did. Bill.

"Well, Dad's freaking out about that triangle demon and wants to talk to you." He sighed.

"Alright, get out." I yawned.

" 'Kay, see ya." He ruffled my hair. Then he left the attic. I stood up and stretched.

"Who was that?" Bill asked, popping up behind me.

"My brother." I replied.

"So, there is a new set of Pine twins?" He asked hovering to the front of me. He was in his normal form.

"Yeah." I yawned again. "Bill, could you hand me my robe?" I asked, sitting down on my bed.

"Yeah, sure kid." He got my robe and dropped it on my lap. I slipped it on.

"Thanks." I put my hand under my pillow and slipped my special dream-catcher in my sleeve so he wouldn't know about it, then grabbed the comb that was under there so he wasn't suspicious, and started combing my hair.

"So kid, you better go talk to your dad about some handsome demon." He smirked. "I'm gonna tag along. I'ma just hide in your pocket." He turned smaller and went into my robe pocket.

"Just behave." I answered and got up and went down stairs.

"Miranda, have you seen Bill since we came home?" Dad asked, dark circles under his eyes

"No." I lied. "I haven't heard from him either." I added on an extra lie.

My dad sighed. "Alright. You can go now, just be careful."

"Alright, I gotta go practice." I tightened my robe and turned around.

"Wait, Miranda. I got some mail for you." He called me back over.

"Oh?" I walked over to him and took the envelope. "Thanks, see ya." I went back up stairs and Bill came back into the open before I threw my robe on the floor.

"Thanks for covering me up, Dreamcatcher." He floated in front of me.

"It was part of our deal." I opened it the letter I had received and read.
