Will You Ever Forgive Me? 《BillFord》

Chapter 4

(A/N: Happy Christmas Eve or Christmas or something like that everyone!)

Ford's P.O.V.

Immediately After Ford was Tossed in the  Portal

The Portal closed behind me. My glasses had fallen off when I fell in, so everything was blurry. I quickly reached into my pocket for my spare pair. (Eyy rhyming!)

I looked at where I was. Swirling colors, asteroids, lightning, things no one could ever imagine. I was still floating. No gravity. I thought. Then I realized I was breathing. Wherever I was, there was air. Or at least I hoped so.

I started to panic. Where was I? Is this the place the Portal lead? Yes, of course, Stanford, you just fell through it.

"WELL WELL WELL, IS THIS BILL'S FAVOURITE HUMAN?!" I heard a cackling voice. I looked to see where it was coming from.

Ahead of me, on what seemed to be a throne made of optical illusions, sat a grey diamond. One eye, a devilish smile, gloves, and boots. Not Bill. The diamond was surrounded by other monsters and nightmares.

"Name's Kryptos if your wondering." It yelled. "I took over after Bill decided to go soft on us."

Wait. Bill's gone? No. It's just another trick. Trust no one. Trust no one. Trust no one.

"Where's Bill! This isn't true! He's here! I know how you work, you just lie!" I screamed at them.

"Hahaha! The little flesh bag still thinks Bill is here!" A pink demon said next to Kryptos.

"Look, if you want the real answer, we tossed him out for caring about someone. Specifically: you." Kryptos said, pointing at me. "I don't know what he sees in you.  You're just as gullible as the others. But that doesn't matter, that dream demon is probably dead by now. Human bodies don't last long in the cold, now do they?"

I was so confused by this statement. I just stayed silent.

The grey diamond got bored and snapped jus fingers. A 60-foot-tall ball if fingers and teeth came running at me. I ran or floated or something like that, away. I managed to hide behind an asteroid field in the nick of time. I was breathing heavily.

What had just happened? I'd been thrown into the Portal by my brother. I was facing Bill's friends, and Bill was hiding. And they were telling lies about kicking him out. And did they say something about a human body? Is he possessing someone? Oh no not again. 

I moved again and managed to hide in a crater of a large passing asteroid. Hidden deep within the recess, I heard the grey diamond's voice cry out:

"THE SIX-FINGERED FREAK WANTS TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK! FIRST ONE TO BRING HIM TO ME ALIVE GETS THEIR OWN GALAXY!"

I panicked. They wanted me alive. For what? I needed to get out of here. I needed to find Bill. I needed to kill Bill.

10 Years in the Portal

I still wondered if they were telling the truth. If Bill really wasn't there. I didn't find him at all when I escaped the Nightmare Realm. But I couldn't be too sure. They probably were lying.

20 Years in the Portal

I started hearing news that the dream demon wasn't in the Nightmare Realm anymore. Everyone was talking about it. But I was still skeptical.

30 Years in the Portal 

I returned to the Nightmare Realm to finish those demons off. But I didn't find Bill.

Oh god. I realized. They were telling the truth. Bill's gone. They did banish him.

And Bill. Bill was telling truth too. He cared. He cared about me. What have I done?
