Fall Into Place

Chapter 2: Bill

DIPPER/MASON'S POV

Darkness. 

It was the first thing I saw.

Dipper: "Am I alive?"

A sigh of relief escapes my mouth after I felt my heartbeat.

Dipper: " Thank God I am alive but I don't know where am I. The possibility of it being a mindscape is high since the cause of this entire mess happen because of HIS statue."

I tried to conjure up something but it was futile.

Dipper: "Arrrrggh! What other hidden secrets and plans are you still keeping Bill? Your death was the most PLEASENT thing that happened to the world. I don't want to have anything to do with you ANYMORE. What is this place! It's not the mindscape then where am I? Don't tell me you created this place to trap people in endless blackness and watch them suffer for revenge. Well, LOOK I'm suffering. Happy?"

...

...

Dipper: " What am I saying? I talking to nobody. Besides, I don't even have evidence that Bill is the cause of this. Plus, his dead. I can't blame the dead. Argh, now what am I supposed to do to get out of this horrid place-"

That was when something blond caught my eyes.

Am I hallucinating?

No. It's a boy.

Living?

Not so sure.

I ran towards him to check it out. The moment my hands held the young boy, he flinched from my warmth. His body was ice cold. His heart rate was dropping at a high rate. He will die if I don't do something.

Luckily, I knew the basic procedures of CPR. After I check his breathing, I delivered compressions to his chest before proceeding on to rescue breaths [A.K.A. Mouth to Mouth CPR]. Just when I was about to do it again, the blond boy's eyes started to flutter open and immediately shot up breaking away from the procedure halfway just for a gasp for air.

???: "*cough*cough*cough*"

Dipper: "Thank God you're alive."

???: "Where am I?"

Dipper: "I don't really know. When I found you were already lying here looking like you're half dead."

???: "Urgh! My head hurts."

Dipper: "You shouldn't move too much. Your body is still deprived of oxygen."

Blond nodded and lean closer to my chest. Before I could say anything, he already dozed off. I couldn't protest. He probably went through more than I did. Who knows how long he has been in here.

Alone.

Isolated from the world.

In this abyss.

Who knows how long I've been in here? Mabel is probably very worried by now. What will happen to this boy? What if he has a family waiting for him? We really need to find a way out fast or else-

???: " Nngh..."

Dipper: "Oh, did I wake you up?"

???: "Nope. I just had enough of sleeping."

Dipper: "I know this is a bit too late to ask you, but do you remember anything before coming into this place."

???: "Hmmmm... I only know my name. I think it is... Ya! My name is Bill. Bill Cipher!"

WHAT! BILL IS HIM!!! But he is he is a human! WHAAAATTTTT!!! Wait-That...That makes a lot of sense now... okay, maybe not so much.

Bill: "Do you know anything about me?"

Dipper: "Ya... Kinda..."

Bill: "Do tell me I need to know since I have absolutely no idea who am I."

He was filled with anticipation, curiosity, and interest. He's so adorable. Snap out it what am I thinking he is Bill. Bill Cipher!

Bill: "Erm... Are you ok? You look kinda of out of it."

Dipper: "I'm okay is just that, I really want to find a way out of here."

Bill: "Before we do that may I know your name?"

Dipper: "Oh, I forgot. My name is Dipper, Dipper Pines."

Bill: "Then, Pinetree!"

Dipper: "Why do you want to call me that?"

Bill: "Because you smell like Pine trees I think? Wait, what's a Pine tree?"

Dipper: "It's a type of tree."

Bill: "Then what's a tree?"

Dipper: "Enough of the questions cause they will be endless. First, we should get out of here."

Bill: "Is there like a door or something?"

Dipper: "Nope, there is no-"

Just as I was about to finish my sentence, Bill pointed behind me.

Bill: "I found the way out!"

In the midst of a hurry, Bill rushed towards the door dragging me along.

As we walk through the flash of light from the other side of the door, one thing pops up in my mind as the warmth of the boy's hand triggered a tint of blush on my cheeks.

𝑰𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘?  

When we got out, I found us in the same spot where I once was. Before the statue which now left a distinct silhouette in its place. Luckily, the sun rays only just started dying the dark blue sky with its rays.

Bill: "We're out!! It feels like it's been a long time since I went outside!"

Dipper: "If I was in there any longer, I would start panicking like crazy."

Bill: "Hahahahaha! I would love to see that!"

Dipper: "Never in a million years."

Bill: " So, now where are going to go?"

Dipper: "Don't worry, you'll be staying with us."

Bill: "Who is this "us" that you are referring to?"

Dipper: "You'll see it for yourself."
