Song of Desperation

Chapter One

When Bill Cipher, an omnipotent omnipresent ancient evil, is thrust from his dying state into a human body to escape an unspeakable horror, he finds himself in the woods of Gravity Falls. Not knowing what to do, he goes to the Pines family for help.

--

"UMPH!" Bill wheezed as the air was knocked out of his lungs. Wait, lungs? Bill, dazed and very confused, cracked his eye open amd looked to investigate. Ah, just as he had thought. Whilst escaping the absolutely ghastly beast from the Mindscape, he had accidentally created a tear into another dimension. As it would seem, he was in Gravity Falls and was currently the proud owner of a body all of his own.

Regarding looks, it wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was absolutely what Bill would want to look like as a humanoid being, his vanity being one of his more noticable traits. Tall, blonde and lean. Slightly feminine in frame but ultimately ambiguous enough to confuse people. He observed what he could in horror. He looked at his arms, noticing his slightly tanned hands. They were soft. His hands then shot up to his face where he felt a nose, lips, cheeks and...well...he had a seemingly normal human being face. He froze in place, trying to understand everything that had suddenly happened to him. He realized slowly that his voice had most likely lost his signature echo, so he decided to cautiously test it out to see how much it had changed. He cleared his throat harshly.

"AHEM! Testing...Buy gold..." he murmured haphazardly. His eye widened. His voice had deepened slightly and didn't sound as whiny as it had prior. However, it still retained the same familliar sound and twang he was used to, just in a slightly less pitched manner. That was honestly a shock. He would've never guessed. The next thing he quickly realized was he only had a singular eye. The other most likely was void and he figured he would have to cover it up. Humans were squeamish and he rather he not die before he could get his proper form back.

The next several things he realized nearly seconds later following his main discoveries was that
1: he definitely had a male body
2: he had no clothing
3: he was in Gravity Falls ironically in the fall, which meant it was cold
4: it was night and he was lost in the woods.

Bill shivered slightly, overwhelmed suddenly by so many new feelings thst had hit him like an express train. He was hungry, cold, tired and so many other sensations he dare not name. They seemingly hit him all at once.

Suddenly, his eye shot open, and a new emotion slugged him in the gut.

Fear.

'If I escaped to here when fleeing from whatever that MONSTER was, then that means I'm stuck as a powerless meatbag for gods know how long! I don't have my powers! My magic is gone!' Bill thought.

His mind raced as panic set in. His breathing became quickened as he tried to suck down air. He gasped for air, silently choking on the world around him. His eye watered. He had never before felt so useless. So powerless. So vulnerable and weak. He absolutely loathed it. He was Bill Cipher for gods' sake! He was an all knowing, all seeing, all present entity who was older than time itself! Not some useless fleshy creature from the twenty-first century!

After trying to wrap his now fragile mind around everything that was happening, he eventually evened his breathing and stopped panicking. He still was panicked, but it wasn't nearly as bad as moments before.

Bill quietly took in his surroundings while he calmed his nerves. Several trees and animals scurrying about, too busy to give him so much as a glance, as they were captivated by their own little animal lives. This personally stunned him. Even his aura had become a shell of the raw and chaotic power that ebbed off him only nights before. Now even the woodland creatures paid no mind to him. He was simply just another human for them to ignore.

He took one last shaky breath. This would be fine. He just needed to...

Hold on.

The now ex-demon squinted his eye as he noticed a dim light somewhere in the thick of the forest. A house! Perhaps he could seek refuge there for the night!

He tried stretching his long yet frail legs so he could make an attempt at walking. He wheezed slightly as he used his arms to try heaving himself to his feet. He stood shakily but not before wobbling. He flailed his arms wildly before crashing back down to the cold, hard Earth once more, dirt covering his lithe figure.

After a few more tries, Bill had finally gotten off the ground. He glanced around anxiously for a tree to support his weight, and he shakily hobbled over to a thick pine tree when he finally noticed one not too far away. This was because he had landed in a small clearing when he had fallen into this realm.

Cipher grunted as he fell against the tree, the rough bark scraping at his chest and arms while he held onto it for support. He winced, pain shooting through his body. Yet another sense he was not equipped to handle. Tears brimmed at his honey-brown eye out of sheer human instinct.

He felt himself sniff and he used one hand to harshly scrub away the tears before they had a chance to fall. He would not be made into a weak, pathetic human! He was still a demon! Not a disgusting pile of flesh, blood and bones! He was merely trapped in this dimension for the time being. So what? He would find a way back. If he was in Gravity Falls, then he would track down the Pines family. They could help him.

But it'd been years since he last was able to observe them. He actually had no idea if the old men were still even alive, as the last time he saw them at all was when Ford had returned from the portal. Ford had wasted no time to create anti-demon charms for his family, which meant Bill couldn't gaze into their dreams, their lives, any longer. Soon after, Ford gave everyone who lived in the falls that same demonic warding charm, and he continued to make several more to be passed out to tourists.

Bill felt himself sour slightly at the thought of his only ticket back to his true form being dead. The only thing he could really do now was find that house and then he'd figure the rest out after he had shelter for the night.
