A Demons Fate

Chapter 3

In the middle of the forest Bill laid in the middle of the huge symbol. And the symbol was made of... blood. At least it looked like it...
A shiver ran down Dippers spine and he fastly hid behind a tree. He knew this symbol. It was his summoning wheel.

Bill didn't move at all. Dipper already worried since he didn't even see him breathing. Hesitantly, the baseball bat behind his back, he approached his boyfriend.
"B-Bill...?"
The demon didn't react to Dipper, so he slowly came closer until he was next to him.
"Hey, Bill...?"
Relieved to see his chest slowly moving, he poked his hib shortly with his foot.
"Bill get up..."

Suddenly, his eyes reopened, glowing just as yellow as in the previous night. Instantly, Dipper backed a few steps away in the memory of the last time. Slowly, shaky, Bill rose himself from the ground. He didn't make a single noise, like before too.
He flashed a short insane smirk at Dipper before he slowly shambled back into the woods, into the direction of the mystery shack. Dipper sighed in relieve and fastly took a picture of the szenery with his phone, then followed Bill in a safe distance.

But instead of going into the attic he sneaked back down into Fords room, where the old man already had set up a bed for the boy. Dipper couldn't help than to smile shortly as he saw him snoring peacefully in his bed. Yeah... It had been long since gruncle Ford could have finally a good recovering sleep without nightmares torturing him. Tomorrow he was going to tell him about what he saw... and Dipper already knew he definitely wouldn't like this.
Sighing to himself he crawled into the soft sheets and fastly drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

The next morning Bill didn't come down for breakfast. The Pines family didn't wait for him and just started without him, but Dipper flashed from time to time a worried glance towards the stairs.
"What are you doing Bill..."
Mabel next to him rolled her eyes and patted shortly his shoulder.
"You still worry for him? He is a demon, he has to be alright. Just go and check him if you want."
Dipper nodded slightly and instantly got up after breakfast, picking up a tray with a sandwich and juice for Bill. He bit his lip in nervousity as he slowly walked up the stairs to his and Bills room, knocking slightly at the wooden door. As awaited, the demon didn't respond so Dipper just entered without the approval of him.

But as he faced his beloved demon, he was within one second next to him, holding his hand. He looked even worse than before... Bills colour could get compared to a white sheet of paper and he felt so cold... Dipper panicked at this.
"B-Bill?! Bill! H-hey, open your eyes! That's not funny Bill! C-come on...!!"
Tears started to roll down Dippers cheeks and fell down onto Bills lifeless hand. A small but not very convinced laugh of the demon let him sink together next to him in relief.
"P-pull yourself together Pinetree... I j-just don't feel too good, doesn't m-mean I'm gonna leave ya~ That's not a big thing..."
"It is a big thing! Tell me the truth Bill! What is happening with you?!"

Bill only shook his head slightly.
"N-nah, that's nothing Pinetree... Probably one o-of your stupid human sicknesses..."
Dipper bit his lip until it started bleeding. This was never some sort of sickness.
"And what is this?! Why did you draw your summoning circle with blood?! You laid in there last night Bill!"
He hastily pulled out his phone and pressed it into Bills face. Said one opened lightly his eyes and shrugged simply, before he had to cough.
"Memories... D-didn't see the circle since long."
"Don't change the topic Bill!"
Dipper saw exactly in Bills eyes that he knew what was going on.
"L-let me sleep a bit Pinetree..."
"NO! TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON!!"
The boy was panting by now. It had been long since he was so angry at a person. Why couldn't he just tell him?!
"What are you afraid of?! Bill seriously, you are getting worse every day!"
"I don't f-fear anything..."

With a huff the boy raised himself again and eyed the demon angrily up.
"Trust me, I will find out what's happening! Wether you like it or not!"
He turned around and headed towards the door. Only for a small second Bill opened his eyes once again and a sad smile crossed his lips.
"S-sometimes... s-sometimes a flower has to g-get planted again to rise to its t-true beauty... But with the w-work to plant, the k-keepers will loose t-their energy..."

What do you guys think Bill meant with that? It's up to you to find that out~ The mystery will get solved within the next chapter. Don't put your guesses into the comments, else you might spoil something for the others! Rather tell everybody in the next chapter if you guessed right.
