Trauma

Demons

Everyone shut up I found the cutest Stan twins picture ever. 

Okay ya I forgot to say some things about the picture in the last chapter, first of all, Dipper is supposed to be wearing a NASA shirt if you couldn't already tell cause I can't XD. Second of all, did ya'll notice that on the necklace, earing's, and headband Lilly was wearing were Lilly's. I have a self headcannon that Dipper gave her thoes. Also, the reason Dipper's hair is so terrible is because I like, for some reason, its so hard for me to draw his hair. Like. It's literally just circles. WHY IS THIS SO HARD?! 

Bonus Picture for no reason:

We asked Grunkle Stan if Pacifica could stay with us for a little bit. He was reluctant at first but when we told him what was going on with Pacifica's parents, he was more than happy to consent. I think he's also preparing to kidnap them but I don't know for sure. 

Pacifica was going to be sleeping on a Mattress pad in the attic with us. She would be sleeping next to Lilly. It was dark by the time we all had dinner. Grunkle Stan must have told Ford in private why Pacifica was here because he wasn't even fazed when he saw Pacifica. He nodded at her and she nodded back. 

After dinner, we all walked up the stairs. The attic had become more crowded, but it was a home for Lilly and Pacifica. And it would do. Soon enough, we were all in bed fast asleep. Except for me. Sleeping was dangerous for me. Some people found comfort in sleeping. I found danger. I knew that if I didn't sleep, my day's would just get worse and worse. It took all my willpower to close my eyes and when I did, I immediately regretted it.

The first thing I saw was (I JUST REALIZED I WROTE THE SAME WORD TWICE EXCEPT ONE WAS BACKWARDS!) Lilly on the ground. She was bruised and bloodied. I didn't know how that was possible since she was a soul but I didn't pay attention to that. The only thing that had mattered was that Bill had hurt Lilly. She had already gone through enough. She had killed herself just to escape it. But she hadn't. This had to stop. 

"Ahhhh Pine Tree. Thinking about making a deal are we?" I recognized Bill's voice and turned to face him. "You let her go right now or I swear heck I will rip that eye out." I was so mad. But Bill just laughed. "You think you can stop me?" "I did it last time and I will do it again if I have to die." "Your going to die either way kid! I'll let her go. If you do something for me." I knew that if I made a deal with him things would just get worse then they already are. 

But I couldn't let Lilly suffer any longer. In spite of me wanting to save Lilly, I took a deep breath. "I'm never making that mistake again." I walked over to Lilly and held her. She was still conscious but was shaking rapidly. Tears fell down her face. "Shhh I got you. I'm not going to let him hurt you anymore." I whispered in her ear. Bill rolled his eye. "Quit the sappy stuff and stop making promises you can't make. Now, where were we?" 

He snapped his fingers and chains appeared on me and rose me into the air. He snapped his fingers again and the place was full of my screams once again while Lilly was forced to watch me suffer. 

------------------TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY MR. PIGEON WHO WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT---------

I could feel the smoke rising off of my body. I was shaking in the chains. Bill snapped again and I fell on the floor. I cried out. "Oh stop crying like a baby." Bill said. He left the room to probably terrorize other people's dreams leaving me alone with lilly. Her hair was tangled and in knots but she still managed to look breathtaking. Her eyes looked far off and distant. Mine probably did too. "D-Dipper.." I made a groaning sound to let her know I was listening. "I-I think I know what Bill is doing to you." "W-What?" "I-I think he's burning you from the inside out. Literally. When you wake up, you should have another mark of Bill on your body. To p-prove that he's slowly taking over y-your body." 

I was too hurt to care. "Hm. Hey Lilly?" "Y-yes?" "D-Did you know w-we have a c-clone of you now?" "Yeah. O-Our minds are connected." "H-Have you told her whats going on inside my head?" "Y-Yes. S-She wants to help but I don't think no one can save us now." "Yeah me too. I guess we better get ready for being mindless puppets when Bill kills me." "Yeah." 

I closed my eyes and woke up. I looked around the room and saw Lilly awake in her bed. We both looked at each other and we knew that we had the same dream. Her eyes were full of pain and I couldn't stand seeing her like that. I walked over to her as quiet as I could and gave her a hug. She started to cry and I was terrified that it would dissolve her own skin. But fortunately, it didn't. 

"Hey, its going to be okay. Were going to get through this together." I whispered to her. She nodded and kept crying. "W-Was that the real me?" she whispered. "Yeah it was." I whispered back. "That was my spirit?" "Yeah. She's in my head right now. She said you two are connected." "Yeah."

Being there with someone who knew how I felt and knew what I was going through made sleeping less scarier. At least I knew someone was going to be with me to the end.
