Bill's POV

Look, I never said I wanted to get lost. I didn't mean to get Y/N distracted. I didn't mean for us to get so involved in our conversation. It just all happened by dumb luck. I never had gotten so lost inside a dumb conversation with a human. I guess Y/N's dumb stories just had caught my attention. Plus, I've also never had my soul attached to a mortals.

This had truly shown me how trapped mortals were. They couldn't go into a dimension where nobody could find them, they couldn't teleport all around their universe.

This soul binding thing has also seemed to dampen my powers. I forgot tons of things I used to know, I couldn't even teleport a few feet. I'm not even sure if I can enter other people's dreams anymore.

Today though... today was a different kind of day. Normally, I would be constantly thinking about how to my powers back and breaking out of this soul spell. But, while I was talking to Y/N, I only though about the conversation and... her.

Bill, stop it. You can not gain a liking towards this mortal. This is how plans are ruined. If you want to get out of this spell, you can not become friends with Y/N.

But...

But, what if I want to?

"Bill," Y/N spoke up. "It's got to be about two in the afternoon. I think we should try to find a way out of this forest."

"Yeah," I agreed. "We shouldn't have got so caught up in our conversation."

"Yeah," She said, letting her voice trail off. It was an awkward silence for a moment until Y/N pointed behind me. "I think we came from that way."

We walked in that direction for a while. I don't know what exactly happened anymore. When I first saw Y/N, I saw just an ignorant mortal who I could maybe use in the future. But, when we began talk, we began to bond. Y/N had some crazy things happen to her, she also had a good outlook on life, even if it wasn't the most normal. The way she acted, if she had the insanity, she could fit perfectly inside the nightmare realm.

Maybe that's what I like about her, she reminds of people I knew in the nightmare realm. But... that doesn't feel quite right. That could be the part of the reason, but there's something else to it. Maybe it's because she isn't insane and cold hearted. She actually has... humanity.

Hah! Hilarious. Bill Cipher likes a person because their human. And that's not it! The incredibly powerful demon is trapped by a simple soul binding spell. Hah.

I can't say why I've taken a liking to this human. But, I won't let this get in way of my plans.

"Bill," Y/N spoke, startling me bit. "You've been pretty quiet since we began walking. Usually, by now, you've made a dumb comment or something."

"Oh," I muttered, recollecting my thoughts. "Yeah, just had something on my mind."

"Yeah," she responded. "My brain has been everywhere, too."

I really wish I could read minds right now.

Yeah, another one of my powers that have been practically taken away. You see, making our souls one takes tole on both of us, mostly me though. Since I'm a dream demon, I am more powerful than a mortal. But, to mend our souls, my powers need to be dampened a bit so our souls will stay together. And by dampened a bit, I mean take away practically all my good powers. It feels like I'm slowly being turned into a human.

I wonder what Y/N meant by My brain has been everywhere, too. Ugh, everything would be a lot easier if I had my powers!

There was a sudden rattle in the bushes, I immediately got ready to attack. But, quickly remembered I couldn't do anything. Y/N jumped and quickly grabbed a branch, I already knew that wasn't going to help her. Whelp, she's going to die. This is what I get for liking a mortal.

Thump!

The thing that was inside that bush just probably got their head bashed in by Y/N's stick.

"OW!" Cried a pathetic voice.

And that thing was Pine Tree.

"Dipper!" cried Y/N, dropping the stick. "I'm sorry, I thought you were a monster!"

Pine Tree rubbed his head and mumbled, "Yeah, it's fine." Shooting Star then crawled out of the bush, with a bit of trouble since the branches got caught in her shirt.

"Where did you go?" She asked. "We look everywhere for you."

"Yeah," Y/N said quietly, "About that... we kind of got lost. We got distracted and I didn't realize I fell behind... Sorry."

Pine Tree looked at Y/N questioningly, "We?"

"Oh! U-um, I meant I, s-sorry," Y/N stuttered.

Pine Tree shrugged, "Whatever, lets just get back to the Shack." We walked in the same direction Y/N and I were previously heading. I guess we did come from that direction.

Y/N's POV

"So, how did you guys find me?" I asked.

"Well, I was just teasing Dipper when he realized you were awfully quiet." Mabel responded. "We turned around and you were gone. We looked for you for hours! We even went back to the shack to see if you had went back to the shack. I'm surprised you never found your way out of the woods."

I laughed awkwardly, "Yeah, now I can understand why I can't go into woods by myself..." I couldn't tell them that I was talking to Bill, or to anyone in that matter. I had almost told the twins about Bill. Thank god I corrected myself, but I don't think it did much. Mabel may have bought it, but Dipper on the other hand... Dipper seems to be questioning what I've been doing.

Dipper has always been the detective. He could always tell when I'm lying. By the way he has been looking at me, I can already tell he's starting to become a little skeptical. I mean, I've disappearing late at night, talking to myself, and I just used the word "we" to describe why I got lost. I would be a little confused and curious as to what's going on as well. What if they heard me talking to Bill? What if they stop trusting me? What if-

Y/N, calm down. That won't happen. Yes, Dipper is probably starting to question what your doing. Your just going to have to get him off your tail.

I looked behind me, and noticed Bill was gone once again. I've noticed he tends to disappear when Dipper and Mabel come around. But, that talk we had today...

Wait, didn't I need to get the journal from Dipper? Maybe I should wait for another time. I don't want to make Dipper more suspicious. But, the way Bill talked about Dipper, did they know each other? Ugh, all I'm getting is more and more questions.

I do have one answer though, I definitely got to see a different side of Bill. I got to see his more humane side. He actually has goals and he's pretty funny. I wonder what he would look like as a human...?

Whatever, putting that aside, I think it might be nice to talk to someone else other than the twins. I mean, Dipper tends to keep to himself and Mabel has, like, twenty other friends. I only ever had them. Maybe, though, talking to another person will be nice.

I looked up and saw the shack. Maybe, I thought, I could be friends with Bill Cipher.

{I don't even know anymore. But writing this chapter let me figure out what I was going to do with this book. Yeah, I had all the major points planned, but what would happened between them? I had nothing. But now, I have more of plan than when I begun the book. So, hopefully the next chapters will flow together more nicely.

Chapter 10 should hopefully be out by March 7th.}
