Giving Into Your Demons - Bipper

-Chapter 6-

•Dipper•
It hasn't been the same in Gravity Falls. Every year my sister and I come back to a town that's safe, or rather... a town we thought was safe. One week ago, my Great Uncle Ford revealed to me that the deal making demon Bill Cipher is still alive. In all his glory... he's also now a human. How he's come to be again I have no clue, and Ford won't tell me anything either. I haven't slept for days. I'm afraid of the state of my own consciousness. If I am to give into Bill... what will happen? Have I really allowed myself to become so weak? Why is Bill after me?

I sigh and close my journal. Setting my pen beside me, I brush the hair out of my face. I yawn, groggy from the morning sun and hours of researching. Stretching, I take a moment to check my surroundings. Mable, asleep as usual.. it's only 6.

"Why are you still alive? It just doesn't make sense!" I whisper. Everyday I try to find answers to the mysterious return of Bill Cipher. Ford refuses to tell me anything from the past few years, simply saying that it doesn't matter now and that it won't bring us any closer to finding out the truth. It's frustrating but he may be right.

I roll out of bed, exhausted from the lack of sleep and make my way to the kitchen for some coffee. "Stupid demon. I need to sleep." "Well, what's stopping ya, Pinetree". I swear I felt myself die a little. I spin around to be met face to face with Bill. He grabs my wrist and covers my mouth, pushing me against the wall. "I can't have you causing a scene now, can I?" My eyes widen with fear, I can't move my body. "Ford allowed me to be free today, only for an hour or so. Everyone is supposed to be asleep for a while. You know how you humans are..." He smiles "... no need to look so scared. I'm not going to hurt you." I roll my eyes, how am I supposed to trust him? "Seems like you've calmed down. I'll be on my way now. You know where to find me~"

I slide against the wall onto the floor, watching Bill retreat back downstairs. 'What the hell just happened? Is it really that easy to catch me off my guard? What has he been doing? And why is Ford allowing it to happen?' My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of clanging downstairs. I jolt and rush to see what happened.

When I arrive to the kitchen I see a mess of cereal and bread thrown everywhere. Pots and pans on the floor and Waddles in the middle of everything. "Waddles... what happened?!" He looks at me and motions toward the corner of the room. I turn to see an exasperated Bill trying his best to hide, motioning for me to be quite. "What are you doing?" I ask. Bill shakes his head frantically 'no'. "Dipper, who is that?" Shit.

"Uh, hey Gruncle Stan. That's uh... that's my friend! That's Alec."

What have I done?
